Chapter 2592: The City Lord wants to meet with me? Why?
"Okay, be quiet, don't be nervous."
Ling Tian waved his hand, interrupting Lin Qi's words, and his eyes fell on the man in front of him.
At that moment, the man slowly got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and walked to the driver's seat amidst the puzzled gazes of the three people in the car. After peering inside through the window, he smiled slightly and said softly, "Um... can you give me a ride? I have something to do."
Um? ?
The man's words not only stunned Ling Tian, but even Lin Qi and Mina were obviously unable to react.
After all, just now, Lin Qi thought he had bumped into the other person and was extremely nervous, but now, the other party came directly over and asked them to give him a ride. This... was really a bit confusing.
Just as several people were puzzled, a look of confusion flashed in the man's eyes. After looking at the people around him, he smiled and said, "If you don't help me, I will tell others that you were the ones who bumped into me. So in order to avoid causing trouble, I urge you to agree."
After hearing this, several people reacted, and Lin Qi even said directly: "Good for you! How dare you threaten us? I clearly didn't bump into you, I..."
"Forget it, get in the car." Before Lin Qi could finish, Ling Tian interrupted him and said, "You must have something to do too. Come on in, we'll help you."
"Oh, thank you, thank you, I didn't expect you guys to be such nice people, haha, hahahaha!"
The man laughed and hurriedly sat in the back seat.
Seeing the man get in the car, Lin Qi looked at Ling Tian with a puzzled look on his face, only to find that he just shook his head. Then he pointed forward and said, "Drive, take the man over first, and we'll take care of the rest later."
Seeing that Ling Tian asked him to drive, Lin Qi did not complain and started driving forward.
On the other hand, the man sitting in the back seat, his eyes fell on Ling Tian, and he smiled faintly and said: "Um..."
"How about you tell me who you are first?" Ling Tian stared at the man. "I noticed that your realm is from the early stage of the Saint Realm. As long as you haven't made any serious mistakes, you should have some status in the capital and shouldn't have to use our car."
"But since you're hitching a ride, doesn't that mean your target is one of us three? So tell me who you are, otherwise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian's Jade Blood Sword appeared in his hand, pointing at the man in the back seat.
This action startled Mina in the back seat, and Lin Qi's hands also shook, but fortunately he reacted quickly and controlled the car.
The man looked at the Jade Blood Sword in Ling Tian's hand, his body visibly shaking, a flicker of fear in his eyes, then he smiled awkwardly, patted his head and said, "Um... is this necessary? If you don't like it, I can choose not to take the car, I..."
"Are you still going to keep it a secret?" Ling Tian frowned slightly. "Your actions have already exposed your goal, so I advise you to explain clearly. Otherwise, don't even think about getting off the car. We will take you directly out of the city, and then... outside the city, no one will care whether you live or die. You know that, don't you?"
The man was stunned by these words. He swallowed hard, his body shaking uncontrollably. Then he nodded and said, "I... I do have something to ask you, Ling Tian, the Vice President of the gathering place, but I mean no harm! So, could you please take the sword away first, and then I'll..."
"No!" Ling Tian interrupted directly: "Only by pointing the sword at you can I guarantee that you won't suddenly attack us. After all, you are also in the early stage of the Saint Realm. I can't underestimate you, so you should introduce yourself first."
"Yes, yes, yes! Let me introduce myself!" The man, probably unable to bear the pressure from Ling Tian, hurriedly said, "My name is... Qin Tian, and I'm the deputy captain of the capital's guard. I came to see you because of the city lord's request."
"City Lord?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. "Did the City Lord ask you to come?"
Qin Tian nodded when he heard this: "Yes, the city lord said he wanted to meet you and told me that you would be leaving the city today, so I thought of waiting for you on this road. Actually, just now, I was going to stop you, but I wasn't paying attention... and I bumped into you."
"Ah? I bumped into you?" Lin Qi was surprised. "I don't remember that. I thought it was a speed bump."
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Qin Tian also smiled awkwardly, but did not care about it for too long. Instead, he looked at Ling Tian and said, "Mr. Ling, the city lord said that it might be a little dangerous for you to leave the city this time, so he wanted to meet with you before you leave, alone."
"Then I recognized this car, so I thought of giving it a ride first and then sending a message to the City Lord. But unexpectedly, Mr. Ling found out. But I really have no ill intentions, and neither does the City Lord. He just wants to meet you, really!"
Qin Tian looked at the shining sword and didn't dare to say too much. He could only hurriedly speak to state his position and explain that they had no ill will towards Ling Tian.
After all, the Blood-Stained Sword was only ten centimeters away from him at this moment. If he said anything wrong, Ling Tian would definitely attack him.
So in order to prevent any accidents from happening, he hurriedly started to explain, hoping to calm Ling Tian down.
On the other hand, after hearing Qin Tian's words, Ling Tian frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in his heart.
He really didn't expect that the city lord actually wanted to meet him?
Logically speaking, he was just a warrior in the middle stage of the Saint Realm. Even if Miao Xingwen told the city lord about his situation, there was nothing to worry about.
But the city lord showed his curiosity about himself. It seemed that he had some guesses?
Or is it that he wants to meet me because I am out of town and he has other requests?
Countless speculations appeared in Ling Tian's mind. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and put away his Blood-Red Sword.
Seeing Ling Tian put away his sword, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, and said, "Um...Mr. Ling, I..."
"Okay, tell me, where is the city lord?" Ling Tian asked softly.
"He's always there at the City Lord's Mansion. If Mr. Ling is worried, I can send him a message and ask him. That way, you'll feel more at ease."
"No need." Hearing this, Ling Tian waved his hand: "Let's go directly. If the city lord is not here, it's not too late to send a message."
After Ling Tian finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Qi, who was driving, and said, "Lin Qi, start driving according to Qin Tian's instructions. When we get to the City Lord's Mansion, wait for me outside. If anything unusual happens, remember to send me a message. As for the rest... I'll handle it myself."
"yes, Sir!"
