Chapter 207 The Embarrassed City Lord
“Yes, City Lord Wu. I saw it with my own eyes. That Black Werewolf was very strong. It fought its way into the living room from the main entrance. When it came out, its body was spotless,
“On the contrary, Lan Quan was beaten so badly that he even swayed when he walked.” The man in the bamboo hat hurriedly reported the scene.
“It’s really not simple. Do you know who the black wolf is? Why did it fight his way into the Blue Fist Sect?” City Lord Wu said solemnly.
“I don’t know who he is, but the Black Werewolf’s purpose in finding Lan Quan is to find the materials. This is the list I secretly recorded.”
The man in the bamboo hat hurriedly took out a list from his pocket and handed it over carefully.
“Transcendence Fruit?” City Lord Wu took the list and looked at it. His eyes instantly flickered as he narrowed his eyes and said.
“I got it. You go back first. If you have any important news, report it immediately.”
“Yes!”
The man in the bamboo hat left in a hurry and soon disappeared into the distance.
In the study, City Lord Wu was left sitting alone. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the intelligence report, looking at the black werewolf drawn on the report.
“If I use a Transcendence Fruit to ask the Black Werewolf to kill Lan Quan, then my daughter won’t need a marriage alliance. She can find someone she likes to be with.”
City Lord Wu muttered. He actually felt very sorry for his daughter. Seeing his daughter cry made him very sad.
If he could get rid of Lan Quan, he could use lightning-fast methods to remove all the evil forces in the city and solve all the worries.
At that time, even if his daughter married Xiao Jian, her safety would not be greatly affected.
“But what do I do after I die? Can Xiao Jian protect his daughter’s safety?”
City Lord Wu once again fell into helplessness. He really wanted to help his daughter and Xiao Jian, but he felt that Xiao Jian was too weak and could not do anything at all.
“Xiao Jian, as long as you have some ability, I will help you, but you are trash!”
City Lord Wu was extremely depressed. His gaze could not help but look in the direction of the restaurant outside the window. Then, he saw Xiao Jian at the window on the third floor of the restaurant.
However, at this moment, City Lord Wu also saw a Black Werewolf. He slowly walked to Xiao Jian’s side.
The moment he saw this Black Werewolf, City Lord Wu stood up with a swoosh. He stared at the Black Werewolf in disbelief.
It was because…
The Black Werewolf that had beaten up blue fist according to the intelligence report was the Black Werewolf that stood beside Xiao Jian. Even the missing right arm was exactly the same.
“How is this possible? Does Xiao Jian actually know the Black Werewolf? How could he know such a powerful expert? Impossible, Xiao Jian doesn’t have this ability.”
City Lord Wu was bewildered. His brows were tightly furrowed as he pondered. Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately took a closer look at the Black Werewolf’s forehead.
When he saw that there was also a mark on the Black Werewolf’s forehead, city Lord Wu came to a sudden realization.
“I see. It seems that Xiao Jian’s sacrifice was successful. He actually got such a powerful expert. If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to let Lan’er be with him…”
Strange. Why did Xiao Jian still look like he had given up on himself? Could it be that Xiao Jian did not know the strength of the Black Werewolf? Did the Black Werewolf hide its strength?”
City Lord Wu analyzed in secret and vaguely guessed that it was because the aura that the Black Werewolf emitted was that of a Low-Level Black Iron Rank. This aura was enough to explain everything. “In that case, I’ll pretend that I don’t know. As for my daughter’s marriage, of course, she’ll make the decision herself.”
After City Lord Wu finished speaking, his old face was a little red, but he was more relaxed. As long as his daughter did not feel uncomfortable, he would be at ease.
Thinking of this, City Lord Wu hurriedly walked out of the study and quickly found his daughter in the garden pavilion.
“Lan’er, I have something to say to you.” City Lord Wu walked over and said in a dignified manner.
“Yes.”
Lan’er wiped the tears on her face and looked at her father. However, her eyes were still somewhat red.
“Lan’er, since you like Xiao Jian so much, I won’t stop you in the future. If you want to look for him, go look for him. Try your best to urge him to become stronger.” City Lord Wu sighed.
“Father, have you agreed? Didn’t you say that unless Xiao Jian reaches Bronze Rank, it’s useless no matter who comes?”
Lan’er stood up in surprise, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
“Cough, cough, father has thought it through. As long as you live a happy life, father will support you with all my strength.” City Lord Wu’s old face was a little red as he said this.
There was no other way. He had just said tough words earlier, but he had changed his words later. Such a quick change in attitude made even the thick-skinned City Lord Wu feel a little awkward.
“Really?”
Lan’er looked at her father suspiciously, wondering if there was something wrong with her father.
“Of course it’s true. I’ve already thought of a way to deal with my enemies. I don’t have to worry about them anymore,” City Lord Wu said with his eyes fluttering, feeling more and more awkward.
“Is that so? Then I’ll really go look for him?” Lan ‘er asked tentatively.
“Go. Bring Protector Liu and the others. There’s still some trouble in the city now. It’ll be safer with them. That’s all. I’m leaving.”
City Lord Wu hurriedly waved his hand and left with quick steps.
Lan’er was left standing where she was, puzzled. She could not figure out what was going on.
“Something must have happened with Xiao Jian. I have to go take a look. It’s a little late today. I’ll go look for him tomorrow to see what exactly happened. Even father has changed his mind.”
Lan’er secretly analyzed and prepared to go and take a look the next day to investigate the situation clearly.
On the other side, on the third floor of the restaurant…
Xiao Jian drank the wine in the bottle one mouthful at a time. His gaze was gloomy as he looked at the city lord’s mansion. Even though he could not see Lan’er, he still stared blankly.
Even though he noticed that the Black Werewolf he had summoned was sitting opposite him, Xiao Jian did not pay attention to it. Instead, he continued to drink one mouthful at a time.
“How long are you going to drink? Can drinking solve the problem?”
Li Xuan asked impatiently. He did npt like the way Xiao Jian gave up on himself.
However, what made Li Xuan angry was that Xiao Jian was still drinking and looking at the city lord’s mansion.
When he finished drinking, Xiao Jian stood up and staggered downstairs, walking home.
“Looks like I have to beat him up.”
Li Xuan followed him down the stairs. Looking at Xiao Jian’s appearance, Li Xuan shook his neck, ready to beat the kid up to clear his mind.
However, at this time…
Li Xuan suddenly felt that the Sacrificial Contract was more than half completed, which made Li Xuan slightly startled. “What’s the situation? Why is the Sacrificial Contract more than half completed? Is there such a good thing? Who cares, after finishing a little more, we’ll leave this place and go search for the Transcendence Fruit.”
Li Xuan’s mood instantly improved. He leisurely followed behind Xiao Jian.
The two of them walked like this and soon arrived at the civilian district. They arrived at the entrance of a shop called the ‘Xiao Family Medicine Shop’. “Son, you’re back. Why are you drunk again? Quickly bring me some hangover medicine.” The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the shop. Following that, a middle-aged woman jogged to Xiao Jian’s side and asked him all sorts of questions with concern.
