The next day, Man Jiao'er arrived as promised and took me out of the city lord's mansion to stroll around Lingcheng City.
I looked around curiously. All around me were various little demons running their own stalls, and it was quite a lively scene.
"This is a small market where we usually trade. Everyone brings their own goods to trade with each other," Manjiao'er introduced to me.
I nodded to indicate that I understood.
"Want to go eat together later? There's a small restaurant in Lingcheng that has pretty good food; I often eat there."
"Okay." My mood brightened when I heard there would be delicious food later.
Luo and the others seem to be not far from here. I looked around but couldn't see anything clearly. I wondered if I should go and check on Luo later.
As I was thinking to myself, I suddenly felt an unusual gaze fall on me.
Who? I hurriedly followed the gaze but didn't see anyone suspicious, but I still felt that someone was watching me all around.
"What's wrong?" Man Jiao'er asked when she saw me looking for something.
"It's nothing." I shook my head, not wanting to frighten Manjiao'er.
"Let's go eat now."
"Okay." I looked away, secretly wondering who it could be.
When I came to my senses, I saw Man Jiao'er standing there in a daze. I followed Man Jiao'er's gaze.
Yue Jiao? How did he end up here?
When Yuejiao saw me, her expression changed from before; instead, she seemed somewhat wary. Yuejiao slowly stepped forward and walked towards us.
Man Jiao'er took a step back in a panic. I stepped forward and shielded her behind me, guarding against Yue Jiao.
"Young Master Di?" Yue Jiao stepped forward, glanced at Man Jiao'er behind me, then turned her gaze back to me, looking me up and down before speaking.
"It's me." I was stunned when I heard the name You Di, and then I remembered that it was my name as a man.
Yue Jiao listened in silence for a long time, and I also silently observed Yue Jiao.
"Young Master Di, would you be willing to accompany me on a tour of Sun and Moon City?"
"Sun and Moon City?" I looked up, wondering what Yue Jiao meant. Did he want to trick me into going to Sun and Moon City to be imprisoned?
“Young Master, I mean no harm. Lord Riyue simply wishes to see you and has sent me to invite you. If you are unwilling, Lord Riyue has also told me not to make things difficult for you.”
Sun and Moon Lord want to see me? I hesitated whether to go or not, after all, the Abyss was a place that our Immortal Realm had suppressed for a long time, and the demons and evil spirits here hated the people of the Immortal Realm.
“If you hesitate, young master, you can consider it. I will come back to ask you again in a day, and then you can tell me your answer.” After Yue Jiao finished speaking, he prepared to leave, but before leaving, he turned back and said, “Jiao’er, I know you hate me, but I will not give up.”
Man Jiao'er lowered her head and remained silent, and Yue Jiao left without waiting for Man Jiao'er's reply.
"Are you alright?" After Yue Jiao left, I glanced at Man Jiao'er, who was standing blankly beside me.
Man Jiao'er shook her head without saying a word, then looked up at me and forced a somewhat forced smile.
"Sigh." I sighed deeply, not knowing what to say. I shouldn't interfere in other people's relationships.
"Let's go, we promised to take the young master out to eat." Man Jiao'er said to me after a moment of disappointment.
"Okay," I replied with a smile.
After dinner, I'm going to go find Luo and the others to discuss whether or not I should go to Riyuejun's invitation. Actually, I do want to go.
What I've seen in the Abyss these past few days has shown me that it's not what I imagined. Neither Jin Yu, Hao, nor the Man family are as brutal as I thought.
