Chapter 358 - Provocation (1)

"I don't care what kind of enmity you have with someone in the Alchemist a.s.sociation Headquarters, but you have to go to Carefree City. As for your hatred, you have to take revenge for yourself," Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Although she didn't ask him in detail about the cause and effect of the matter, she could guess what kind of treatment he had received. After all, such a matter was not strange no matter where it was.

"Miss, it's not that I don't want to take revenge. It's just that my enemy is very powerful now. I'm not his match," Zheng En said helplessly.

"Just because you don't have strength now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. I didn't ask you to seek revenge now. What's the rush?" Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly. Since Zheng En was already hers now, then of course she couldn't stand by and watch others bully her own people!

"Yes, I'm not in a hurry. I've already endured for so many years. Sooner or later, I will take revenge for being framed with my own hands," Zheng En said vigorously as if he was a different person.

"Brat Zheng, that's right! Don't worry. We will definitely help you if you want revenge." Old Zao patted Zheng En's shoulder like they were good brothers.

"Yes, thank you." Zheng En felt warmth in his heart after hearing what Old Zao said. He had been alone for more than a decade, and it was impossible for him to truly befriend those bandits. So this was the first time he felt warmth in more than a decade.

After seeing Zheng En regain his confidence, Leng Ruoxue said, "Everyone, rest early today! Let's continue going tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Leng Qingtian and the others answered and went to find rooms to rest. But Lan Ming didn't leave.

Leng Ruoxue glanced at Lan Ming. "President Lan, do you have something to say?"

"La.s.s, what happened back then was very troublesome and complicated. I advise you not to get involved," Lan Ming said after some thought.

"Zheng En is now my subordinate. Do you think I won't be involved?" Leng Ruoxue asked calmly.

"I think it's better to let Zheng En stay here for the time being. You can pick him up after the Mystic a.s.sociation's compet.i.tion is over," Lan Ming suggested. What he implied was that it was best not to let Zheng En go to Carefree City, lest he was recognized.

"There's no need. But if you're afraid of trouble, President Lan, we can part ways here." Leng Ruoxue's tone suddenly became a little cold.

"Hmph! In your dreams! You want to get rid of me now that you have a new road to becoming rich, right? Dream on!" Lan Minghuo roared. Boohoo… His good intentions were actually treated as ill intent. He felt wronged! He had always thought that he was already friends with them, but this heartless little girl actually wanted to chase him away because of Zheng En, whom she had only known for a short while. Boohoo… So sad!

"When did I say I wanted to get rid of you! I was afraid you would find it troublesome!" Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly as two drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Why is this guy so unreasonable?

"Hmph! If you're not afraid, why should I be?" Lan Ming roared gloomily.

"Since you're not afraid, then go to sleep! We have to travel early tomorrow morning!" Leng Ruoxue said lightly. Then she left with Freak, leaving Lan Ming sullen and alone…

After staying in the bandit lair for the night, Leng Ruoxue and the others set off the next morning…

Ten days later…

Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived at Nightless City.

"This city is Nightless City. After pa.s.sing through this city, we will reach Carefree City," Lan Ming explained outside the city gate while looking at the tall and grand city walls. After ten days of traveling, they were almost at their destination.

"Nightless City? Do you mean that nighttime here is as lively as daytime?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.

"Yes, the nights here are also brightly lit and bustling," Lan Ming said.

"Is this city bigger than Windless City?" Leng Ruoxue asked.

"About the same. They're both not too big," Lan Ming answered.

"Old Lan, do mystics have any other preferential treatments?" Leng Ruoxue asked. During the few days of being with Lan Ming, she had learned that mystics weren't charged any fees for entering cities.

"If inns are full, mystics have priority to stay. If two groups of guests are both mystics, the higher-level one is the most respected," Lan Ming said with a smile.

"Oh. Old Lan, let's enter the city! Let's find a place to rest and then continue tomorrow," Leng Ruoxue said after understanding the situation.

"Let's go! There's an inn owned by our Mystic a.s.sociation in Nightless City. Mystics get a discount there," Lan Ming said.

"Why isn't it free?" The Mystic a.s.sociation really takes enough. It even collects money from its own people, Leng Ruoxue thought.

"The a.s.sociation has to earn money too! The entire Boundless Heaven Continent has a population of billions. No matter how few mystics there are, there are still hundreds of thousands. If everything was free, then the a.s.sociation wouldn't be able to support the mystics no matter how much money it has! But it's completely free for mystics at or above Mystic Sovereign," Lan Ming said with a light smile.

"Oh!" Leng Ruoxue nodded understandingly.

Then everyone walked into Nightless City.

"We're here. This is it." After walking for a while, Lan Ming pointed at a gilded signboard in mid-air. On the signboard were two large words, 'Mystic a.s.sociation'.

Leng Ruoxue looked at the signboard of the inn in front of her. This Mystic a.s.sociation is really lazy. It didn't even bother to name it and just directly wrote the words Mystic a.s.sociation on the signboard.

"La.s.s, this place is easy to recognize, right?" Lan Ming said proudly.

"Yes! Very easy to recognize." Leng Ruoxue braced herself and echoed. If this place wasn't easy to recognize, what else would be easy to recognize?

Leng Ruoxue and the others walked into the inn of the Mystic a.s.sociation with Lan Ming.

"President Lan, who are they?" the innkeeper asked in puzzlement while looking at the people behind Lan Ming when they arrived at the front desk.

"They are the representatives of our a.s.sociation," Lan Ming explained lightly.
