Feng Su and Hao were waving and winking at me from below the stage. Hao's little face seemed to be saying to me, "Sister, you're not being fair. You didn't let me go and went up by yourself." If Luo hadn't been holding me back, they probably would have rushed up long ago.
I gestured to them with my eyes to calm down. Now we had to make a quick getaway when no one was looking, otherwise I would be doomed if Yue Jiao led a large force here. I heard that Yue Jiao was a favorite of the Sun and Moon Lord. Who knows, Yue Jiao might have already reported to the Sun and Moon Lord. The appearance of the Lord of Heaven in the Abyss is a big deal.
"I still don't know your name?"
"My name is... You Di." I almost said Nv Xin's name, but thankfully I realized my mistake and said the name of my friend from before I transmigrated.
"You Di, what a fine name." The barbarian city lord stroked his beard and sighed. "Young hero You, come with me back to the city lord's mansion."
Now?
"Yes." The barbarian city lord nodded.
"Wait a moment, I have a few friends I need to talk to." I turned my gaze to the audience.
"Since you're a friend of the young hero, let's go together."
"No need. They're used to being free and wandering. They just happened to be passing by today and will be leaving to travel the world soon." I made up a lie on the spot. If I let a whole bunch of them go to the city lord's mansion, it would be difficult for them to leave.
"I'll go talk to them." After saying that, I left the arena and headed straight for Feng Su. I really wanted to just leave, but the barbarian city lord's gaze followed me closely.
"Feng Su, Luo, you two quietly follow me and wait for me near the City Lord's Mansion. I'll figure out a way to get out later." I hurriedly said as I ran up to them.
"Master, why did you suddenly go to the arena and fight with Yue Jiao?" Feng Su asked me with a worried look, and only felt relieved after carefully checking that I had no wounds.
"Yuejiao is my next target, and I certainly can't let such a good opportunity slip by."
"So, Master, you're going to have to marry a bride now." Seeing that I wasn't injured, Feng Su couldn't help but tease me.
I rolled my eyes at Feng Su. This guy hadn't listened to what I was saying at all. "Luo, take this. I'll look for you when I come out of the City Lord's Mansion tonight."
"Okay." Luo took my things and carefully put them into his sleeve. He then said, "I'll have Jinyu scout out the terrain of Ling City later, so it will be easier for us to escape tonight."
"Okay, it's up to you." I gave Luo an approving look, patted him on the shoulder, and knew that Luo was more reliable in crucial moments.
"Then I'll go first, wait for me to come back." I didn't dare to stay any longer, afraid that the barbarian city lord might become suspicious.
"Lord of the Barbarian City, I'm back."
"Are you really not going to let your friends come to the City Lord's Mansion? It's your wedding day, after all. As friends, why don't you come and see them?" The Barbarian City Lord glanced at Feng Su and the others in the distance and then turned to ask me.
"Haha, I just told them too, and they said they would come to the wedding later and then left."
"In that case, let's go first." The city lord nodded in relief upon hearing this.
"Okay," I replied with a smile, looking quite pleased.
The distance from the arena to the city lord's mansion was not far, but Man Jiao'er did not travel with us and went back first.
The city lord said that Jiao'er should go back first to change into her wedding dress and get ready. The city lord's mansion has everything prepared for the wedding banquet and is just waiting for me, the groom.
I was overjoyed when I heard this, but I was inwardly miserable. With such thorough preparations, would I still have time to run out later?
