Chapter 136

===================

The result was that Lian Yun did not hear Mogo's story, nor did he drink the glass of wine that had never been delivered.

Lian Yun was really worried that Lana would get anxious waiting for him.

She briefly stated her request: "Master Mogo may not be able to send anyone out of the main city, but I wonder if you can help me find out some things?"

Lian Yun received a nod from Mogo before continuing, "I want to know who is controlling these puppets."

Mogo frowned. He didn't know what the girl in front of him intended, but "not asking too many questions" was also an important consideration in the transaction.

"good."

It's a little tricky, but Mogo will do his best.

Lian Yun nodded. "How long have we been talking?"

"Not long." Mogo and Alicia also noticed that Lian Yun seemed to be in a hurry and stood up tactfully. "I'll take you there?"

Lian Yun waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."

Actually…

Lian Yun stopped, looked around the small room, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Can you lend me this room?" Lian Yun asked politely.

"...What do you use it for?"

"go home."

Mogo pursed his lower lip.

Well, wouldn't it be unwise of him to show surprise?

There are many magicians who can teleport, but there are not many who can use a room as a medium.

Seeing her about to leave, Alicia quickly said, "You haven't even asked what my daughter looks like!"

Lian Yun subconsciously identified her daughter's identity and naturally didn't want to ask any more questions, but she still had to go through the motions.

Alicia briefly described her daughter's appearance, then tactfully left the room with Mogo.

Before leaving, he did not forget to look back every few steps, looking at Lian Yun expectantly.

Lian Yun couldn't bear the look in her eyes, so she couldn't help but comfort him softly, "Regardless of the outcome, I'll come back next Wednesday, and then... it will be time for you and your daughter to be reunited."

When Lian Yun said the last sentence, Alicia almost burst into tears.

She held the door, nodded gratefully to Lian Yun, and gently closed the door.

With a "click", the door was completely closed.

Lian Yun slowly breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Lina's shoulders tightly.

Sure enough, the wooden door appeared again on the wall of the room.

After listening to Alicia's story, Lina followed Lian Yun through the entire event and recognized the characters in the story.

"Sister, are we going to look for Honey later?"

“…Maybe there’s no need to look for it.”

As Lian Yun and Lina stepped out of the store, they saw a group of people standing at the door.

Some are familiar, and some have just arrived.

Lana was standing at the front and was obviously relieved when he saw Lian Yun.

He took two steps forward, moved his fingers, and finally smiled and sighed: "Sir."

Lian Yun took off his cloak and shrugged unsurely: "Sorry, I should have waited for you to come back."

"No," Lanna pursed her lips, her eyelashes drooping slightly, "I shouldn't go out today."

Lanna was blaming herself again.

Lian Yun didn't know what to say. She was a little discouraged. She didn't want Lan Na to feel guilty.

Lian Yun understood Lan Na's feelings. He was worried about being alone, just as she was eager to return to the town to tell Lan Na that she was safe.

She was afraid that Lanna would be worried if she couldn't find her.

"grown ups……"

Lana was about to raise her head to say something when suddenly a soft and warm body fell into her arms.

The familiar breath made him subconsciously stand firm and hold on tight.

He blinked, feeling the white cloak beneath his hands for a moment before realizing what he was doing.

The girl rested her head on his neck, wrapped her arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly.

The blond man's Adam's apple slid up and down unconsciously, and his mind went blank.

Why am I hugging her?

…Because she was resting her head on her neck, she must have been standing on tiptoe.

He subconsciously felt that she shouldn't bother with such things.

So he held her slender... waist tightly.

Then why are my ears so hot?

"Lanna, I'm fine."

It was the first time he heard the girl's voice so close to him, as if it was right next to his ear, but he could not hear it clearly because his heartbeat was too loud.

Once, once.

I really want to tell everyone that it is beating for the girl in my arms.

The girl's embrace was fleeting.

Lana realized belatedly that this was not the first time the two had hugged.

After he was moved by the clothes that Lian Yun had mended.

Lian Yun also hugged him like this.

At that time, the girl told herself: "Everyone in this town is your family. No matter what happens to you, you will never be abandoned."

She wouldn't abandon him either.

Now Lanna is convinced of this.

She deserves his trust more than anyone else and is an absolutely trustworthy lord.

But if that was all, why did he have these strange feelings?

Until the girl turned around and greeted Fang Suo behind her.

Lanna's heart continued to beat, as if following the girl's figure and intending to go with her.

It wants a longer hug.

Maybe it's more than that.

"Fang Suo? When did you come back..." Lian Yun was about to greet the short-haired woman normally, but was stopped by the other party's hidden but not completely hidden smile.

"Yeah." Fang Suo raised his eyebrows, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this" on his face.

"It's been a while since I got back, at least until you two can hug."

Lian Yun didn't know when the always serious Fang Suo would make such a narrow-minded joke.

She walked up and gave her the same hug without saying a word.

Fang Suo was caught off guard and was pulled by the girl to bend down and hug him, almost breaking his defense: "Why didn't I know you were so strong before?!"

"There's a lot you don't know."

"How about it?"

Fang Suo knew that she was asking about the task assigned to him.

"Don't you think there are a lot of people?"

Lian Yun:?

"What do you mean? Wasn't it already a week ago?"

A bad premonition spread throughout her body, and Lian Yun looked behind her.

There were many unfamiliar faces, which Lian Yun did not recognize at all. At this moment, they were looking at him... and Lana with strange smiles.

Lian Yun smiled: "Fang Suo?"

"Why do you always surprise me?"

Fang Suo took a step back to a safe distance behind Lina. "This can't be entirely blamed on me. The negotiations were too successful. The other party immediately surrendered as soon as they heard my description, asking me whether to smash the association's sculptures first or seize the nobles' gems first."

“We were even given some skilled jobs.”

Fang Suo looked away: "That's what the adults saw."

Fang Suo extended his hand towards them, and they all bowed to Lian Yun in unison, clearly having received professional training: "Hello, Lord!"

Lian Yun kept smiling: "Hello, everyone."

These people were so enthusiastic as if they were the hosts: "Sir, when do we have dinner?"

Lian Yun turned his head and looked at Fang Suo with murderous eyes.

Fang Suo clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then silently pointed them in a direction: "You...go and familiarize yourself with the town first."

"Okay! Then we'll go first!" They had no objection and walked away in groups with smiles on their faces.

"Well, I hope you can give me a perfect explanation." Lian Yun waited until they walked far enough, and signaled Lana to stop Fang Suo with his eyes.

The latter knew he couldn't get away, so he had to tell the truth.

"Things are urgent, and Jiaota City is beginning to experience a similar situation as Kuoge City. However, their situation is much less severe than ours. The mayor of Jiaota City was very worried after hearing about our city's current situation."

Jiaota City has no income to begin with, and operates in the same self-sufficient mode as Kuoge City. If the food source is suddenly cut off, they really don't know where to start solving the problem.

If Jota ever became like Quoge, they wouldn't even have anywhere to go.

"Then I told them about the alliance."

The Lord of Jiaota City said that he had reported the matter a long time ago, but the main city had not issued any orders or even any suggestions for help.

All requests for help regarding this matter were ignored.

Although the mayor of Jiaota City felt something was amiss, he simply thought that his superiors hadn't noticed.

It wasn't until Fang Suo brought the news that he realized the severity of the consequences.

"He immediately decided to abandon the main city and form an alliance with us."

According to the mayor of Jiaota City, "They can't just wait for death with the stupid carrots who don't do anything."

"Because the situation in their city isn't that serious yet, they can provide us with some of their supplies. I've already given the food to Gerry." Fang Suo pointed to the location of the crop warehouse and looked at the group of people. "But his request is to take a group of people away."

"Why?" Lian Yun didn't understand.

"The situation in their city isn't too serious yet. Since they can give some to help us, they can definitely feed these people."

"Well...that's it." Fang Suo fell silent.

After a long moment, she spoke again, "But when I was describing the town's advanced situation, I mentioned the 911 training team that the adults had formed. He expressed great interest, so he sent these people here to learn from us."

Lian Yun: “?”

"So these people didn't come here to escape famine, but..."

Further studies?

Lian Yun didn't know how to start, but could only say that fortunately this matter didn't sound that bad.

"Don't worry, sir. The city lord has brought out their food. They just need a place to live and an instructor to help with training." Fang Suo offered thoughtful advice.

She really didn't need to worry about this.

Lian Yun found it inexplicably funny.

"Okay, I accept."

She had no other choice.

Lian Yun glanced at the crowd walking away. They looked full of energy, ready to learn new knowledge and develop better hands-on skills.

Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Perhaps they can bring some positive energy and relaxation to a tense town.

As for the people who would really have a headache with such a large team - ahem, I hope Gerry doesn't break his crutches.

Lian Yun looked at Fang Suo and asked, "Tell me about the other city?"

Fang Suo nodded, wanting to skip the previous topic, but the next topic was obviously not so easy to make her relax.

"As for Buli Lake City..."

Lian Yun suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What did you say?"

Bulli Lake City?

She thought that the city that she had just persuaded so easily was Buli Lake City.

Humph! Lanna, you moved your fingers! You want to hug her!
