Chapter 509 Want this identity

Kong Yun said, "City Lord, you promised me."

"When did I promise you?" An Yan was surprised. She had no idea at all.

Kong Yun began to gesture and said, "City Lord, I just walked in and said, 'City Lord, I'm back.' You said you've been working hard lately and wanted to give you a few days off. I then said I wasn't working hard, and I just wanted to ask if the reward you promised me still counts. You said you could just go to the old man and get it. Is that right?"

"Yes, that's what I meant." An Yan nodded.

But Li Rongsen could tell that Kong Yun was just being self-righteous and having wild thoughts.

Yan Qingqiu interrupted again, saying, "Hey, you have such a vivid imagination. There's nothing explained here, so how can you connect it to the city slaves?"

"This is the leadership I want." Kong Yun said as a matter of course.

"You are really being ridiculous. You need to explain yourself clearly. How can you be so nonsensical?" The old man also sneered at Kong Yun.

Kong Yun said, "It's fine if a city lord has three thousand city slaves. I'm just the second one, so what's wrong with that?"

"I don't agree." Li Rongsen said bluntly.

"I'm not your city slave, why should I need your consent?" Kong Yun retorted to Li Rongsen in a harsh tone.

Li Rongsen looked at An Yan and heard her say, "I don't need any more, and you don't need to mention this matter again."

"Why?" Kong Yun asked, and he looked Li Rongsen up and down, saying, "Besides being a little more handsome than me, he doesn't have the same abilities as me. Besides, I'm the descendant of Nv Huo, so my status is much more noble than his."

"We don't care about status here." An Yan replied coldly.

Kong Yun looked unconvinced and said, "You promised me that you would give me the reward whenever I said so. Now that I've said it, you want to go back on your word. This is not what a city lord does."

"Shut up!" The old man said this. He stared at Kong Yun with a cold gaze and said, "How dare you speak to the city lord like that? You should know your place. Do you have the right to shout and yell here?"

Kong Yun frowned. After all, he didn't want An Yan to hate him, nor did he dare to offend the old man, so he said nothing more.

The old man continued, "You do want it, but you still have to ask the other party if they will give it to you. You are not the one who makes the decision here. Since they have said that they cannot agree to this, you should accept it and bring up other matters."

"But I only want this one thing." Kong Yun was obsessed. He came here just for this thing and didn't need any other rewards at all.

"Why do you have to choose this matter?" Li Rongsen asked him.

"It's none of your business, and I don't bother to talk to you." Kong Yun looked down on Li Rongsen. Not only did he steal his position, he also didn't believe in his ability, and he looked down on his identity as an ordinary human being.

An Yan waved her hand and said to Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen, "Go back to the house and wait for me. The old man and I will talk to him again."

Kong Yun also rolled his eyes at Li Rongsen with an arrogant look.

Li Rongsen didn't want to leave, but Yan Qingqiu pulled his sleeve and left the house.

Li Rongsen was naturally unhappy and asked him, "Why do you want us to leave?"

"Of course it's inconvenient to talk." Yan Qingqiu explained to him disapprovingly, and then said, "You don't have to worry. I don't believe Kong Yun wants to be a city slave just because he likes Anyan."

"Then why did he do that?" Li Rongsen asked him.

"It must be something related to interests." Yan Qingqiu speculated, and after a chuckle, he said, "It seems that he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and now he wants to seize it and won't let go."

Li Rongsen lowered his eyes and thought, then said, "He said he is the descendant of Nv Huo."

"If he's a pure descendant, that's incredible. He shouldn't be fake. Just look at the tricks he knows and you'll be sure." Yan Qingqiu said, patting Li Rongsen on the shoulder and saying, "Why worry? He's not as good-looking as you, and An Yan doesn't look down on him either."

"Even if he is more handsome than me, I may not be attracted to him. An Yan is not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance." Li Rongsen said.

Yan Qingqiu frowned, then said, "That's hard to tell. It's hard to tell."

Li Rongsen went back to the yard to rest, and Yan Qingqiu followed him, unable to help but glance into the house over there.

An Yan was talking to Kong Yun in the room. She said, "You don't want to be a city slave just because you like me, do you?"

"It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. I need this identity." Kong Yun said frankly. He didn't want to hide it.

"Why?" the old man asked him.

"I want to rebuild my own clan." Kong Yun said.

An thought for a moment, then said to him, "If that's the case, why do you have to be a slave of Xicheng? You can also form your own faction, and Xicheng will help you."

"No, many people will not accept it." Kong Yun replied. He had organized his own group before, but no one took him seriously at all. He had no appeal at all.

The old man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, and thought to himself that this person was quite calculating.

Kong Yun added, "Everyone knows that West City is the most powerful. Who wouldn't be in awe when hearing the name West City? And look at Li Rongsen's reputation outside. Is it because of his status as a city slave that he's so respected?"

"He earned that himself. Regardless of whether he has the status of a city slave or not, he is still respected." An Yan corrected him.

"You don't know what people outside are saying. They are just doing this for the city lord's sake." Kong Yun boldly expressed his thoughts.

But An Yan thought he was not bold enough and did not reveal his true thoughts. She said, "You actually want to have the inheritance rights of Xicheng."

The old man became alert when he heard this and looked towards Kong Yun.

Kong Yun lowered his eyes and said nothing.

An Yan walked up to Kong Yun, picked up his wrist and took his pulse.

Kong Yun originally wanted to let go, but he was no match for An Yan, so he naturally couldn't escape, so he had to expose himself.

An Yan chuckled and said, "As expected, you have already mastered the art of immortality."

The old man frowned and couldn't help but hit Kong Yun on the back of the neck, sneering, "You are so bold! Are you planning to outlast the City Lord and Li Rongsen before taking over West City?"

This is the rule. If something happens to An Yan, Li Rongsen will take over. When Li Rongsen leaves, the person will fall into the hands of the next city slave. If not, the person will return to the hands of the original founder, the old man.

Kong Yun lowered his eyes and said, "I just want to rebuild my own tribe. That's all I want to do. Our Nv Huo tribe deserves to be strengthened."

The old man said, "Don't even think about it. We in West City are not your stepping stone."

"These are all matters for the future. Right now, it's just for an identity, that's all." Kong Yun felt aggrieved. He had always thought this was an opportunity, but he never expected it to fail. Naturally, he was not convinced.

An Yan flatly refused and said, "I can't promise you."

"Do I have to fall in love with you before I can become a city slave?" Kong Yun asked this question, thinking that this should not be difficult. After all, the city lord is very charming and is a woman who is too beautiful.

"You're dreaming!" The old man jumped up again and hit Kong Yun on the back of the neck, then sneered at him, "First of all, I don't agree. I don't care whether you love me or not. Even if you love me till the end of time, there's no place for you. Get out of here!"

Kong Yun frowned. He wanted to fight for it again, but the old man started cursing again: "What else do you have to say? You evil-minded thing, get out of here right now. You are not allowed to enter the inner city anymore."
