#221 - Golden Signboard
Liang Jin replied in a loud voice:
"Her mother asked you to take good care of her, which is fine, and I agree with it very much."
"Then you should just stay by her side and take good care of her."
"I didn't say I wouldn't allow you to follow her."
These words stunned Yunlong.
He understood that Xiao Wan wanted to follow Liang Jin, and Liang Jin wanted him to follow Xiao Wan.
Wouldn't this indirectly mean that Yunlong himself would also be following Liang Jin?
Yunlong frowned and said:
"I will never be a slave in this life!"
"And I will never allow the little princess to be a slave!"
"Your Excellency, please don't force me!"
After saying that, Yunlong released his aura, and his inner strength surged.
Obviously, he was prepared to fight if they couldn't come to an agreement.
He knew that Liang Jin was very strong, but he had nothing left to cherish in this life.
If it weren't for the princess's dying wish, Yunlong would have had no reason to live.
Liang Jin naturally wouldn't take Yunlong seriously.
Xiao Wan suddenly stood in front of Liang Jin, glaring at Yunlong:
"If you want to hurt my master, you'll have to get past me first!"
Xiao Wan's stance put Yunlong in a difficult position.
Of course, he couldn't possibly attack Xiao Wan.
At this moment.
A voice came from inside the inn:
"Young Hero Meng, do you need our help?"
This voice was Cang Du's.
Obviously, Cang Du had also noticed the situation outside.
As soon as this voice sounded, a terrifying aura instantly locked onto Yunlong.
This made Yunlong's face show surprise.
He had already realized that the strength of the speaker in the inn was far above his own, probably... already a Fourth-Rank expert!
This Liang Jin actually had a Fourth-Rank expert to help him?
Facing Liang Jin, his chances of winning were already extremely low.
Adding a Fourth-Rank expert, he had almost no hope of winning.
At this moment, a strong sense of despair could not help but appear in Yunlong's eyes.
But he still intended to attack!
As a former Violet Lightning General, he could die on the road of charge, but he could not give up resisting and be slaughtered!
Yunlong had long been indifferent to life and death.
He should have died twenty years ago on the day of Ju Huan's destruction.
As for his mission, he already knew that the will of heaven was difficult to violate.
He couldn't stop Ju Huan's destruction, and today he was powerless to stop Liang Jin from taking Xiao Wan.
Human power cannot defy the will of heaven.
Then he could only accept his fate!
"I'm taking in Xiao Wan, not to make her my slave, but to give her a job."
Hearing this, Yunlong stopped his attack, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Liang Jin explained:
"I have a business called Green Robe Tower, which simply means taking money to kill people for others."
"I think Xiao Wan is very suitable to be an assassin, so I'm preparing to train her."
Hearing this, Yunlong, who had just stopped his moves, was about to continue launching them.
Become an assassin?
This is not much better than being a female slave!
Liang Jin said helplessly:
"You, you have a big temper, but your mind is not flexible at all."
"If you think Xiao Wan will be in danger, then you might as well pass on all your martial arts to her, so that she can quickly become powerful."
"And before she grows up, you can always protect her."
"Besides, I don't want her to work for me for the rest of her life."
"I am a very reasonable person, after working for twenty years, she can go wherever she wants, I will never stop her."
Xiao Wan said anxiously upon hearing this:
"Of course, I want to follow my master for the rest of my life!"
Everyone ignored such words.
Yunlong couldn't help but hesitate.
If Liang Jin could give such conditions, it would undoubtedly be a good result for him and Xiao Wan.
Twenty years later, Yunlong would be old and no longer able to protect Xiao Wan.
And Xiao Wan would be in her thirties, in her prime, and able to live independently in this world.
"Why should I believe you?"
Yunlong couldn't help but question.
Liang Jin shrugged:
"Believe it or not, it's as if I care about your trust."
"If you really don't want to believe it, then I won't be merciful if you want to die."
"If I had known you were so long-winded, I shouldn't have let you go last night."
Yunlong was silent.
He knew that he currently had no capital to negotiate with Liang Jin.
Besides trust, he had no other choice.
What's more, even if he took Xiao Wan away now, he still felt that the road ahead was vast and he didn't know where to go.
Immediately.
"Thump!"
Yunlong suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Liang Jin.
He said in a deep voice:
"If Your Excellency can fulfill your promise."
"Then I am willing to work for Your Excellency, and also to protect the little princess."
As a soldier, Yunlong was also decisive in his actions at critical moments.
He saw the situation clearly and directly chose to listen to the advice.
Liang Jin finally smiled with satisfaction.
He naturally valued a Fifth-Rank martial artist more than an Eighth-Rank martial artist.
One of the reasons for taking in Xiao Wan at the beginning was to attract this Fifth-Rank martial artist and take him in as well.
After all, what the Green Robe Tower lacks most now is these high-level combat forces.
Immediately, Liang Jin helped Yunlong up:
"Don't worry, I keep my word."
"By the way, after your Ju Huan Kingdom was destroyed, are there any other experts who want to protect Xiao Wan, this royal bloodline?"
"I know you've been locked up for so many years and definitely don't know where they are, but you just need to tell me their names, and I can help you find them if they're not too far away."
Since Xiao Wan was of royal blood, she was a golden signboard.
The newest and most complete novels are all on 6 9 book ba first.
As long as she was there, then maybe more martial artists could be attracted.
Liang Jin had the [Thousand Mile Tracking] trait, so finding people was simply too easy.
Yunlong said upon hearing this:
"I do know some people, and I have occasionally seen some old friends who have become slaves in this Flowing Sand City."
"But I don't know if they are still alive, and I don't know if they have defected."
"But if you can really help me find them, I can give it a try."
Liang Jin was naturally the best at finding people.
He immediately asked for their names.
After Yunlong said a series of names, Liang Jin began to use [Thousand Mile Tracking] to search.
Soon Liang Jin discovered that there were indeed some people in this Flowing Sand City.
Immediately, Liang Jin said:
"Follow me, I'll take you to find people."
"By the way, let's kill some more people."
"Xiao Wan, you have to break your vow of killing tonight."
Liang Jin was already familiar with rescuing slaves by killing slave owners.
So Liang Jin took Yunlong and Xiao Wan and left quickly.
...
Inn.
In the guest room.
Cang Du stood by the window, watching Liang Jin and others leave.
A secret agent couldn't help but ask:
"Chief, it's unknown whether it's good or bad that Young Hero Meng has more outsiders around him."
Cang Du smiled faintly:
"Didn't you see that even a Fifth-Rank martial artist is working for Meng Xinghun?"
"Now that Meng Xinghun is on our side, the more help he has, the stronger he is, the more beneficial it is for us."
"After all, we didn't bring many people this time, and we lost half of them in Lizibao."
"If Meng Xinghun really brings a group of people who can do things, it will be much more convenient for us."
The secret agents nodded repeatedly.
It was unknown whether they understood Cang Du's intentions.
Suddenly, a secret agent outside the inn ran back from the street, the one who had gone out to scout for news earlier.
This secret agent ran all the way back to the inn and reported to Cang Du:
"Chief, things are serious!"
"The Peak Lord of Clear Frost Peak of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, Ping Shuang, died in battle with the Guardian of the Star Demon Sea!"
"Now the entire Great Snow Mountain Sect's station is heavily defended, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching."
Hearing this news, Cang Du and the others were all taken aback.
That Ping Shuang was a Fourth-Rank martial artist, already a very rare powerhouse among the martial artists of the world.
And such a powerhouse died just like that?
Cang Du had previously heard the news of Ping Shuang's deployment and expected that Ping Shuang would at most suffer losses and injuries.
But he didn't expect that Ping Shuang would die directly!
This news was simply beyond all his expectations.
In addition to being shocked, Cang Du murmured:
"In this way, I'm afraid the Star Demon Sea will take the opportunity to attack the Great Snow Mountain Sect."
As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him.
Now that even the Peak Lord of the Great Snow Mountain Sect has died, they have lost their top combat power and will be unable to cope with the Star Demon Sea's attack.
Perhaps even the Immeasurable Bright King Sect will take advantage of the situation.
Who knew.
The secret agent actually continued to report:
"Chief, the Star Demon Sea has already... withdrawn from Flowing Sand City overnight!"
"They seem to be fearing and worrying about something, and they withdrew very quickly!"
Huh?
Cang Du became even more confused upon hearing this.
Why did the Star Demon Sea also withdraw?
Was it because the Guardian of the Star Demon Sea killed Su Di of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect and Ping Shuang of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, and was afraid of being besieged by the two sects?
That doesn't make sense!
The Star Demon Sea's martial arts are special, and their on-the-spot defense ability is excellent.
If Ping Shuang was still there, joining forces with the Immeasurable Bright King Sect might indeed be able to defeat the Star Demon Sea.
But Ping Shuang is dead, and only the Upper Venerable of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect is left as a Fourth-Rank martial artist, the Star Demon Sea should not be so afraid.
Cang Du frowned and said:
"That's not right!"
"The Star Demon Sea shouldn't have withdrawn so quickly!"
"Unless... there is something else in this city that can make them feel afraid!"
Cang Du frowned tightly.
For the first time, he felt that the development of the situation in Flowing Sand City was gradually beyond his control.
After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something.
He immediately ordered:
"The situation in the city is turbulent and severe tonight, with crises lurking everywhere, quickly call Meng Xinghun and his group back!"
If Meng Xinghun also suffers losses tonight, then Cang Du's side will really suffer a big loss.
