"Although our Water City is not large in scale, it has accumulated a lot of resources over the years, as well as a large number of books on Awakened's abilities and various rare materials."

"In addition, Shuicheng is located in a strategic location, with frequent waterway trade with the outside world to the north, and is well-informed."

"Once this is accomplished, the entire Shuicheng will be honored to have you as our guest of honor. If Young Master Li Yu has any information he wishes to know in the future, Shuicheng will do its utmost to find it out for you."

Yun Shui Ning laid out all the conditions she could offer in one breath.

Upon hearing Yun Shui Ning's words, Ma Yuan Bai, who was standing to the side, sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Li Yu.

As expected, Li Yu's expression changed after Yun Shui Ning set these conditions.

Li Yu, who had opened her mouth to refuse, immediately closed it again.

Yun Shui Ning finally managed to stir up Li Yu's greedy little thoughts with these tempting conditions.

Li Yu thought to himself: He could ask for resources at will, and he also had access to all kinds of intelligence and information about the Water City.

Li Yu, who often spent time with Ma Yuanbai, naturally knew the importance of intelligence.

With such favorable conditions offered, he didn't even need to lift a finger; he only needed to stand behind the city lord.

This kind of reward really tempted him, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

After making up her mind, Li Yu agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, I can help with that."

Yun Shui Ning was overjoyed upon hearing this and repeatedly expressed her gratitude:

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much for your help, Young Master Li Yu."

Faced with Yun Shui Ning's enthusiasm, Li Yu felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was just doing a job for money, and he was not used to being thanked so sincerely.

Li Yu then turned around, waved to the team behind him, and said:

"Let's go into town."

"Young Master Li Yu, please!" Yun Shui Ning quickly instructed the soldiers to clear the city gate, and Li Yu slowly led his team into the water city.

At this moment, the residents of the city were not surprised at all to see such a large procession entering the city; on the contrary, they felt much more at ease.

After all, the news that Young Master Ao was going to kill their city lord had spread far and wide, and Water City was also seeking help from all sides in the face of the crisis.

Within a single day, numerous law enforcement teams and patrol soldiers from the surrounding areas rushed to provide support, so it's not surprising that such a large external force could be invited.

As Yun Shui Ning led Li Yu's team into the city, Gao Lingling, who had been watching Yun Shui Ning's every move, naturally saw the team from afar.

However, Gao Lingling didn't care too much about this. She didn't think that the temporary team that Yun Shui Ning had casually hired would be a match for Young Master Ao on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.

Faced with absolute power, numbers and weapons are no match.

After Yun Shui Ning had settled all of Li Yu's troops, she spoke to Li Yu alone:

"Young Master Li Yu, please come with me to learn about tomorrow's plans."

Li Yu nodded slightly, and Yun Shui Ning led Li Yu toward the office building in the city center.

Upon arriving at the building, they saw that it was Yun Shui Ning who had brought people. The guards in front of the building let them through without asking any questions.

Li Yu couldn't help but glance at Yun Shui Ning again. Although she was only the city lord's daughter, judging from the scene before her, she seemed to have quite a bit of prestige and power here.

Unexpectedly, after Yun Shui Ning noticed Li Yu's gaze, she immediately remembered the conditions she had mentioned before, and her face flushed red.

The sudden change in Yun Shui Ning really left Li Yu somewhat bewildered.

And so, the two remained silent the whole way until they finally arrived at a spacious hall.

Yun Shui Ning pushed open the door and entered, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the entrance.

Upon seeing who it was, one of the women, a slightly overweight woman, stood up while muttering to herself:

"My dear sister, you've finally arrived! Who is it that makes so many of us wait?"

Li Yu followed closely behind and went inside, only to find that a lot of people had already gathered in the hall.

Clearly, these people had all been notified and had gathered here specifically to wait for Yun Shui Ning.

Judging from the crisis Yun Shui Ning mentioned, all these people were invited by Yun Shui Ning to help the City Lord of Shuicheng resolve the crisis.

Li Yu curiously observed the dozen or so people in the hall. All of them were Awakened, including men, women, and children. One of them, dressed in a snow-white robe, was particularly eye-catching.

What surprised Li Yu even more was that there was a demon standing in the crowd, whose features as a strange beast were very obvious.

At the same time, the eyes of the dozen or so people in the hall all turned to Li Yu behind Yun Shui Ning.

Seeing this, Yun Shui Ning immediately moved to the side and took the initiative to introduce herself to everyone:

"I am deeply grateful to everyone for waiting for me. I am very grateful that you have come to Shuicheng at such a critical moment."

"Let me introduce you all. This is Li Yu, who has also come to lend her support at my invitation."

Upon hearing Yun Shui Ning's introduction, the dozen or so people present reacted with varying expressions.

"Li Yu?"

They usually operate within the Central Plains, so they are naturally familiar with the name Li Yu.

Even those who don't pay much attention to newspapers and news have heard of Li Yu's name many times from casual conversations among those around them.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman suddenly stepped forward excitedly and asked urgently:

"Is it Li Yu, the one who made it into the newspaper?"

In response to the woman's question, Yun Shui Ning smiled slightly and nodded gently.

After receiving confirmation, the woman became unusually excited and circled around Li Yu, muttering to herself:

"Oh my! He really is a handsome man. I wish I could introduce Li Yu to my niece."

Upon seeing that the visitor was none other than the renowned Li Yu, the people around him took the initiative to step forward and greet him warmly.

Li Yu nodded in response to everyone's friendly greetings.

Although those present did not believe the newspaper's description of Li Yu's formidable strength.

But Li Yu himself was standing right in front of them, so they had to give him face no matter what, and no one questioned or exposed him.

Among the crowd, only the demon stood motionless in place.

Seeing everyone around him trying to get close to Li Yu, the demon's eyes were full of disdain, and his gaze towards Li Yu was filled with hostility.

It seemed that he would rather fight Li Yu than protect the city lord's safety.

Just then, Yun Shui Ning cleared her throat and solemnly addressed the crowd:

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's discuss our strategy for dealing with the enemy tomorrow."

At this point, Yun Shui Ning's smile faded, and her expression turned serious:

"Judging from his past behavior, since Young Master Ao has publicly declared that he will come to Water City tomorrow to take the city lord's life, he will definitely not go back on his word."
