Seeing Wang Yumeng looking so sad, Li Nan had the urge to immediately admit his identity to the other party.
However, in the end, Li Nan held back.
“I see, to have a disciple like you, your master’s spirit in heaven will definitely be very relieved!”
Li Nan said with great emotion.
Wang Yumeng smiled bitterly, “Let’s hope so.”
Afterwards, Wang Yumeng added, “Since I cannot worship you as my master, I will leave you alone and take my leave.”
With that, Wang Yumeng turned around and was about to leave straight away.
In Wang Yumeng’s opinion, the other party had made it very clear that he needed to pay homage to his master before he could make acquaintance with him and discuss the martial dao.
Since he was unable to meet the other party’s request, then Wang Yumeng was not in a position to waste the other party’s time anymore.
However, before Wang Yumeng could take a step forward, he only heard the other party’s voice behind him.
“I should be staying in this restaurant for the next two days, so if you have time, you can come and find me anytime!”
Hearing these words, Wang Yumeng’s face was instantly surprised.
The other party’s words had made it clear that he had agreed to befriend himself!
At the thought of having such a top-tier powerhouse as a friend in the future, and being able to exchange martial dao together and improve his cultivation, Wang Yumeng’s heart couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
“Thank you very much!”
Wang Yumeng said with a smile at Li Nan.
After Wang Yumeng left, Li Nan called the shopkeeper over and handed him a 100,000 denomination of True Martial Gold.
“Sir, what you are ……”
The shopkeeper was a little unsure.
“Get me a room, I might have to stay here for a few days.”
Li Nan said casually.
“I see, but if it’s just housing, it’s far from using so much money.”
The shop assistant explained with a smile.
“It’s alright, the rest, consider it as compensation for that girl just now, for the loss in this shop.”
When Wang Yumeng dueled with Lu Pao just now, she broke a lot of the tables and stools and other things in this shop, this money, Li Nan intended to take it out for Wang Yumeng, and it was also considered to make Li Nan’s inability to identify with the other party feel slightly better.
“This …… this is too much! Then that that …… many thanks to the guest!”
The shopkeeper was simply thrilled, and his attitude towards Li Nan was even more respectful.
Just now, the shopkeeper felt that the customer in front of him was of extraordinary status, and now it seemed to be true!
He was able to throw away 100,000 True Martial Gold at the drop of a hat, this was definitely no ordinary person!
After taking the money, the shopkeeper ran back to the counter and told the boss the good news.
The shopkeeper had just been upset that he was really unlucky to have encountered such a thing today, not to mention that his things had been smashed, but the key was that he could not afford to mess with either of the two sides.
When he heard the shopkeeper’s story, he was overjoyed.
“Thank you very much, sir! Thank you so much, sir!”
The boss bowed at Lai Nan from afar.
Li Nan only waved his hand and went straight to the guest room in the backyard.
On the other side.
As soon as Wang Yumeng returned, the girl in green from before knelt down directly towards her.
“Thank you so much for saving my benefactor’s life!”
The girl in green said with great gratitude.
Wang Yumeng lifted her up, “Alright, it’s just a handful, you don’t have to take it too seriously! Who let those people be so shameless, as a member of the City Lord’s Mansion, how dare they do such an outrageous thing in broad daylight, it’s simply too abominable!”
The girl in green sighed and said helplessly, “It can’t be helped, they are all people from the City Lord’s Mansion, in fact, they are all working for the City Lord, we ordinary people, we don’t even have the chance to resist at all, I am, in fact, not the first person to be targeted by them …… ”
“Damn it!”
Wang Yumeng was so angry that she slapped the table.
“As the lord of a city, should benefit the people only, but this city lord is good, how dare he bully the people, fish and flesh, even a young girl like you, simply lustful! Damn it! Damn it!”
Wang Yumeng was a person with an overwhelming sense of justice, and when she heard the girl in green’s complaint, she became furious and could not wait to rush to the city lord’s residence and rip his head off.
Zhang Zhen, who was at the side, was also full of anger.
“This City Lord is simply a beast, a brute! This kind of person really doesn’t deserve to live in the world!”
Zhang Zhen said angrily.
At this moment, the girl in green said again with a cowardly face, “In fact, the reason why the City Lord he wants to capture me is not just as simple as lusting for beauty ……”
Hearing these words, both Wang Yumeng and Zhang Zhen could not help but stare.
“What does this mean?”
Wang Yumeng asked in confusion.
After seeing the girl in green pause, she continued, “In fact, the reason why the Lord of the City captured me was to …… sacrifice!”
“What?!”
Wang Yumeng and Zhang Zhen’s brows both furrowed at the same time.
They had thought that that City Lord was just a lecherous man who was sensual, but they hadn’t realized that the reality was more complicated than they had imagined!
“Sacrifice? Sacrifice to whom?”
Wang Yumeng hurriedly asked.
Instinctively, she felt that this matter was not simple.
She and Zhang Zhen had come to this Stone Continent with them originally because they wanted to train.
On this journey, most of their training had come from helping each other when they saw injustice.
There was a huge conspiracy at hand, so Wang Yumeng naturally would not miss this opportunity to train.
Like Wang Yumeng, Zhang Zhen also looked very excited and waited for the girl in green’s answer.
Only, the girl in green shook her head, “This, I wouldn’t be very clear. I only know that those who were taken away by the city lord’s house before never ended up coming back ……”
“There are others who have been sacrificed?!”
Wang Yumeng frowned.
The girl in green nodded, “That’s right, just the ones I know of, there are at least twenty to thirty of them!”
“So many!”
Wang Yumeng marveled.
“Yeah, and basically all of them are around my age ……”
The girl in green seemed to have thought of something horrible and her face was filled with horror.
Wang Yumeng only felt incredible.
It was simply outrageous that so many teenage girls in their early teens were experiencing this kind of thing, and yet no one came out to take care of it!
But when she thought about it carefully, Wang Yumeng finally understood.
This matter itself was the work of the City Lord’s Office, and in this entire Qing Shi City, the City Lord’s Office was the supreme ruling existence, so who else could be expected to redress the grievances of those innocent sufferers?
“How outrageous! Don’t worry, since I saw this matter, then I will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing! I’m going to kill that bullsh*t City Master right now to avenge those victims!”
Wang Yumeng was furious and as she spoke, she shot up and was about to go straight out to take revenge.
However, before she could take two steps out, she was stopped by Zhang Zhen.
“Sister Meng, you can’t be impulsive! According to my understanding, for a city of the size of Qing Shi City, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the City Lord’s residence alone, not to mention the city defence forces in this city. On top of that, there is no guarantee that there won’t be other experts in this huge Castle City, apart from Lu Bao. With our strength, I’m afraid it’s not that easy to move that city master! Moreover, even if we succeed, it will never be easy for us to retreat in one piece!”
Zhang Zhen persuaded bitterly.
Compared to Wang Yumeng, Zhang Zhen’s temperament was a little more calm, at least not as hot-tempered as Wang Yumeng.
In fact, what Zhang Zhen said was completely true.
Apart from anything else, there were 50,000 people in the entire Qing Shi City defence force!
With so many people, even if Wang Yumeng was strong, it would be very difficult for her to retreat with her whole body!
The girl in green at the side also said with a pleading face, “Sister, he’s right, there are many people in the City Lord’s Mansion! Moreover, there are other experts in the City Lord’s Mansion, if you go over like this, you’ll definitely suffer a loss!”
This girl in green clearly did not want Wang Yumeng to take any risks either.
But at this moment, Wang Yumeng was already furious.
“Even if there are more of them, so what! Such city lords are simply evil and deserve to die! If we don’t do something for the people, do we have to let such scum live free?”
Wang Yumeng said with a puff of anger.
“This ……”
Seeing that he was about to be unable to stop this angry lioness, Zhang Zhen suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “Right, I have an idea!”
Hearing these words, Wang Yumeng then stopped.
“What solution?”
Wang Yumeng asked curiously.
“The solution is that warrior just now! That warrior was able to kill a super expert like Lu Zhenfu with a single move, and he was able to shake back hundreds of soldiers from the City Lord’s Palace with a raised hand, his strength is unfathomable! If he were to help us, we would be able to take the head of that bullsh*t city lord, wouldn’t that be like taking something out of our pockets?”
Zhang Zhen said in a compelling manner.
In fact, the reason why Zhang Zhen said this was because he did not want Wang Yumeng to be too impulsive.
After hearing Zhang Zhen’s words, Wang Yumeng’s eyes also lit up.
“Right, why didn’t I think of that!”
Wang Yumeng was pleasantly surprised.
“I’ll go and get the warrior’s help right now! He’s so nice, he’ll definitely be willing to help out!”
After saying that, Wang Yumeng then directly asked that shopkeeper for Li Nan’s room number, and then ran straight to the backyard side.
The entire restaurant was relatively large in this Qing Shi City, and the three and four floors above the restaurant were ordinary guest rooms.
However, in the back yard of the restaurant, there were several separate courtyards, which were the upper rooms of the restaurant.
At this moment, in one of the heavenly courtyards, Li Nan was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed.
After the rest he had just taken, Li Nan felt that his divine thoughts had recovered a little.
Now that it was getting dark, Li Nan took the opportunity to try to release his divine thoughts again, searching the area around him for a hundred miles, trying to find the whereabouts of the big black mountain.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
