Chapter 553 Pretending Not to Know

"You are talking a lot of bullshit. This is just a reason. Why should I die for you?" The old man was very angry when he heard what he said. He thought he was being unreasonable and extremely hateful.

Master Qian knew that he was powerless to change the situation, so he stopped talking. There was nothing else for him to say. He was willing to accept defeat anyway. He had thought about this day, but it came too soon.

But he thought that even if he was going to die, he had to have two blankets, so he used his mind to blow up the hole in the ground.

And An Yan had already sensed what he wanted to do, so she used her palm to stop Master Qian from destroying the cave. However, this energy was projected at the risk of his life, so it was difficult to offset.

Li Rongsen also began to move his palms, and together with An Yan, he withstood this wave of energy.

The three of them formed a force, and no one was willing to give in.

Li Rongsen shouted, "Yan Qingqiu, hurry up and bring your people out!"

Yan Qingqiu was walking at the bottom and had no way of hearing Li Rongsen shouting at him.

The old man hurried to the cave entrance and shouted, "Yan Qingqiu, come up quickly! Don't take the gold. Put it down and come up quickly! It's about to explode!"

The message finally spread from one person to another, and everyone quickened their pace, and Yan Qingqiu had also received it.

Master Qian had made up his mind. He couldn't die alone. He had to let one of them die as well, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage. Therefore, he pushed out energy with even greater force.

Seeing that the energy was about to go towards the cave, An Yan had to use more strength. He thought that this person's skills were really strong. If he caught him a few days later, it would be even more difficult to deal with him.

After all, Li Rongsen has limited energy, and An Yan's body is also restricted, but she can't let Yan Qingqiu and those people die in vain, so she fights hard.

Master Qian suddenly didn't want to blow up the cave anymore, because he seemed to sense something different about An Yan, which made him secretly happy. So he was ready to die together with An Yan and the others, so he began to transfer his energy to the two of them.

The old man didn't want to stand idly by, but he couldn't move at all, otherwise it would have side effects, so he didn't move. But he knew that the situation was out of control and someone needed to make a sacrifice here.

For an old man like him, it should be worth it to exchange for Li Rongsen and An Yan, so he wanted to rush to the middle to block them.

But An Yan said, "Don't come over. The worst that can happen is that we destroy the inner city and rebuild it." After that, he exerted his strength to push Master Qian's energy directly into the sky, and also conjured up a protective layer.

There was a loud "bang" and the whole sky seemed to explode, with countless fireworks scattering out. They were all caused by the collision of energy, but they looked very beautiful even though I didn't know why.

Master Qian spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground again. He said, "I only lack a woman. Otherwise, you can't beat me."

"You are destined to lose because you are too selfish and have harmed countless lives." An Yan walked towards Master Qian and found that he had exhausted all his energy and could no longer be of any use.

The old man hurried forward to see Anyan and asked her, "How are you?"

"It's okay." An Yan felt a pain in her chest as soon as she said this, but she didn't tell them directly.

Li Rongsen looked An Yan up and down and said, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"No." An Yan signaled him not to worry.

At this time, seeing Yan Qingqiu and the others finally come out, he said: "This cave is long and big. It will take half a day to walk through it. There is a lot of gold and silver hidden inside."

"What's wrong with you? Couldn't you come out faster? You almost cost the city lord his life." The old man couldn't help but blame Yan Qingqiu.

Yan Qingqiu was also stopped by the people in front. He strode towards An Yan and grabbed one of her wrists to take her pulse, but An Yan pushed him away. However, he did not let go and said, "Let me take a look. What's wrong with that?"

Li Rongsen felt that it was necessary to take a look, and said from the side: "Just let him take a look." At the same time, he looked at Yan Qingqiu and asked him to tell the truth.

An Yan also stared at Yan Qingqiu, signaling him to be well behaved and not say anything he shouldn't say.

Yan Qingqiu said to Li Rongsen, "It's okay, nothing serious. After all, I'm no match for her. How many people in this world can be her match?"

An Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Rongsen also believed what Yan Qingqiu said.

The old man said, "Leave everything here to me. You can go back to the city and rest. We'll be busy here for a while."

Li Rongsen reminded the old man, "After taking out this gold, you have to return it to the people in this city. All of this is property he robbed, and it must be returned to its original owner."

"Of course, of course. We in Xicheng don't covet this." The old man chuckled and nodded, indicating that he would not have any evil thoughts.

Li Rongsen said to An Yan, "Let's go. I'll go back to the city with you."

"Someone has to stay here to do the work. There is no reliable person right now, so I can only ask you to take a look at it for me. I will go back to the city to draft an order." An Yan said to Li Rongsen, signaling him to deal with the matter with the old man for the time being.

Li Rongsen felt that this was true. He was a city slave and should work hard for West City and share the city lord's worries. Moreover, he also wanted An Yan to rest, so he said to Yan Qingqiu, "You accompany An Yan back, so that I can feel more at ease. The old man and I will go back after we finish our business here. If it's late, you can eat first."

Yan Qingqiu nodded and motioned An Yan to go with him.

An Yan said to Li Rongsen, "Please be careful. I'll go back and wait for you to have dinner." After that, she walked out. As soon as she walked out of the yard, she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and then began to gasp for breath.

Yan Qingqiu quickly took out a piece of silk and handed it to her, saying, "Why are you doing this? You should have thrown that thing away a long time ago, so that your martial arts skills wouldn't be restricted and you wouldn't get hurt."

"Just don't tell him." An Yan took Yan Qingqiu's handkerchief as she spoke. Just as she was about to wipe him, she gave it back to him and said, "Your handkerchief is dirty. I can't wipe it with it."

"Hey, you can't just make do with it for a while."

"No." An Yan gestured and wiped it with her sleeve. She walked out of the city and asked him again, "Is there a carriage outside? I'm afraid I can't ride a horse."

"Yes, if I don't come by carriage, I can't come." Yan Qingqiu said as he went to help Anyan and asked her, "Can you do it? Let me help you walk."

"Are you kidding? How can I not be able to do it? Am I walking so staggeringly?" An Yan frowned.

At this moment, Li Rongsen's voice sounded behind An Yan, saying, "An Yan."

An Yan was startled and quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve. Then she turned around and saw that it was Li Rongsen who was striding towards her. She quickly calmed herself down.

Li Rongsen walked up to An Yan and said, "I remembered I have this on me. It's the medicine you prescribed for me. You said it has great benefits. Whether you are injured or not, taking one is always good. Take it."

"I don't need it." An Yan said with a chuckle.

Yan Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing. He knew why Li Rongsen came back, but he didn't say anything.

"I know you don't need it, I just want to see you again." Li Rongsen said to her with a smile.

"You're being childish." An Yan felt sweet in her heart, and then she used her other hand, which had not been used to wipe her mouth, to take the things he handed over, and said, "Come back early when you're done."
