Chapter 350 Let me talk

An Yan was not pretentious. No matter whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was always embarrassing to hide. She immediately stood up and walked out, and Mei Die followed behind her.

The man in white robe dismounted and said to An Yan respectfully, "City Lord, where are you going?"

"Go forward." An Yan replied.

"It's getting late, and we can't live here after all. Come with me to the city to rest. I'm afraid we won't be able to cross the mountain in the next few days." said the man in white robe.

An Yan was puzzled and asked, "Why is this? Please enlighten me."

"That mountain is always covered in fog, so no one can cross it. The mountain owner is a very ferocious tigress, so no one dares to provoke her."

"Is it a real tiger or a fake tiger?" Yan Qingqiu said with a chuckle.

"She was a woman, very fierce and tough. She used to live in the mountains with her husband. Her husband passed away in recent years, and her temper has become even worse." The man in white robe explained everything.

"So she is the one who is blocking the way and won't let anyone pass." An Yan asked.

"Because the Dark Moon Realm is on the other side of the mountain, no one dares to disturb it. However, people from the Dark Moon Realm occasionally come to the city to buy some things, so they stipulate that the fog must be dispersed on one day in a month. After all, that woman is afraid of the Lord of the Dark Moon Realm." The white-robed man continued.

"How can we survive that day?" Meidie asked.

"It just happened the day before yesterday, so we still have to wait for about a month."

An Yan immediately said: "That won't do. I need to go into the mountains right away. I'm going to visit the Lord of the Dark Moon Realm."

"That's unacceptable. The Dark Moon Realm Lord dislikes outsiders interfering, and he's also a deeply sorrowful person. I'm afraid it might be detrimental to you." The white-robed man looked concerned and said, "Please ask the City Lord to return to the city and rest. We'll discuss this tomorrow."

"I will go into the mountains at dawn tomorrow." An Yan insisted. She couldn't delay too long. She had to find the Youyue Grass quickly, otherwise Li Rongsen's life would be in danger. He couldn't wait for her too long.

"In that case, please return to the city and rest," the white-robed man advised kindly, adding, "You'll need the energy to cross the mountain to leave the city tomorrow. How can you do that in this place? That woman is not easy to deal with, and she's determined to keep one of you behind."

"Who does she want to keep?" Mei Die asked.

"That depends on her. I don't know what she means." said the man in white robe.

An Yan thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go back to the city and rest. They haven't eaten yet, so please prepare a good meal."

"Of course, of course." The man in white robe immediately signaled An Yan and the others to get on the carriage.

Yan Qingqiu said, "This man treats us well, but I'm afraid he has other intentions."

"You were complaining about the food just now, so eat as much as you can and fill up." An Yan said to him with a smile, then looked at Mei Die and said, "I think you are also not used to living in that shabby place just now."

"That's right. Although I'm not as rich as those in West City, I haven't suffered any hardship. There's not even a blade of grass there." Mei Die told her the truth. She was originally worried about how to fall asleep.

It doesn't matter to An Yan himself, but he is afraid of implicating them. There is no reason to let him suffer any injustice. Since they have come to invite him, he should give them some face.

The man in white robe outside turned around from time to time to look at the carriage behind.

The people around him said to him, "Master Bai, I think the city lord is very good. If she is willing to stay, we won't have any worries."

"She doesn't seem willing." Mr. Bai said.

"Master Bai is worried that she won't want to leave West City?"

"We are naturally not as good as West City. What's more, in our area, there are wolves in front and tigers behind. I don't know how to deal with it." Master Bai sighed.

"In my humble opinion, it would be better to annex both front and back."

"I do have such an idea, but we don't have the strength." Mr. Bai felt that this matter had given him a headache for a long time, so he was always looking for capable candidates.

The mayor of West City is the person he has his eyes on, but unfortunately, the other party may not be interested.

An Yan and his companions entered the city, lived in a luxurious mansion, and had a table full of fine wine and delicious food.

Yan Qingqiu was extremely happy. He hadn't had a good meal in the past few days, so he sat down impatiently. He tasted the fish first and then said, "It's so fresh! It's so much better than the way we just ate it."

An Yan said to him, "Can't you eat slowly? Be careful of the fish bones."

"Don't worry, don't worry, this fish has few bones." Yan Qingqiu didn't bother to talk anymore and just ate it with big mouthfuls. Meidie beside him was much more polite than him and also said, "Not bad, it tastes very good."

An Yan never had a big appetite. She put down her chopsticks after eating a little, thinking about Li Rongsen all the time.

Meidie asked: "Why, aren't you hungry? You just ate a bowl of rice, and it's so small."

"I can't eat too much. You guys can eat slowly and don't worry about me." An Yan said as she picked up the tea beside her and started drinking it.

At this time, the servants came up with snacks again.

Yan Qingqiu picked up a piece and ate it, praising it repeatedly, saying, "Not bad, not bad, it tastes great, Anyan, you should try one too."

An Yan did not refuse his kindness and took a piece to taste. It was indeed delicious, sweet but not greasy.

Meidie also said: "This cake is their local specialty, it tastes really good."

"It has the word 'Taiping' written on it, so maybe it's called Taiping Cake." An Yan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, a man in a white robe walked in and said, "The City Lord is very smart. This is indeed Taiping Cake, a local specialty. If you like it, I'll have them make more so you can take it with you on the road tomorrow."

"This is good, I like it." Yan Qingqiu nodded very impolitely.

"Thank you for your hospitality." An Yan said to him.

"May I ask for a moment to speak to you, City Lord?" the man in white robe asked respectfully.

"Okay." An Yan said and stood up, but Yan Qingqiu also stood up with her and said, "I'll go with you. It's not cheap for you two, a man and a woman."

An Yan pushed Yan Qingqiu back to his seat and said to him, "Just eat your food in peace." Then she went out with the man in white robe.

After Meidie saw them leave, she said to Yan Qingqiu, "Do you want me to release a butterfly to follow them?"

"Needless to say. Let it go." Yan Qingqiu quickly signaled her to move faster.

Meidie released a blue butterfly, which followed An Yan and the others.

The man in white robe led An Yan to take a walk in the garden at the back. There was moonlight and a gentle breeze tonight, which was quite pleasant. There were also some street lights on the riverside in the garden.

But these street lights are not very bright, they just cast a dim light.

The blue butterfly of Meidie flew over and circled around the white-robed man and An Yan, not too far away.

The man in white robe seemed to notice it. He flicked his finger and knocked the butterfly down. He disappeared before hitting the ground.

An Yan asked: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Let's go talk there, so that some unrelated villains won't eavesdrop." The man in white robe pointed to a tall building in front of him. It was built in the lake and was a hundred meters high. It was impossible to climb up without some skills.

The building was originally pitch black, but when the man in white pointed at him, it suddenly lit up and was decorated with lights from top to bottom.

An Yan asked: "This is your territory, are you afraid that someone will eavesdrop?"

"Is the city lord afraid and dare not go upstairs, or is he unable to go upstairs?" The man in white robe lowered his eyes to look at An Yan, wondering if this slender woman is really the city lord of West City. Although she is good-looking, he has never tried her real kung fu.

He had this building specially built, and no one had ever been up there except him.
