"I never thought that I would see my sister among the group of criminals who didn't die. My sister and my parents have been arrested for five years, but during these five years, my sister hasn't grown up at all. She is still so thin and skinny, which makes people distressed! She just looked at me with a numb expression, and I..." At this point, the gardener covered his face and cried, "I can't abandon my sister, so please, don't tell you that I told you. Otherwise, my sister will have no way to survive. She was arrested at the age of ten and suffered so much... I..." As he spoke, he burst into tears again.
Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan just watched the gardener cry coldly.
Only after the gardener stopped crying did Lan Ziye slowly speak, "Aside from your Lord God, are there any other monsters in Lanye Town?"
The gardener was stunned, then quickly shook his head and said, "No, even the mayor is a native human!"
"After I get rid of that ogre, I can consider taking on tasks from your Blue Leaf Town. However, I have rules and I won't take on tasks without pay. So, you should think carefully about what kind of reward your Blue Leaf Town can offer!" Lan Ziye said lightly.
"Accept the task?" The gardener was a little confused.
"Kill the demon king and rescue the so-called criminal like your sister!" Lan Ziye said with a smile, "You still have one day to think about it! Oh, by the way, I also have another identity: Lan Twelve Young Master of Nanwang Street!"
Seeing the gardener still looking silly, Lan Ziye smiled helplessly and said, "The ogre should already know you're here, so you'd better not go out for the time being!" After that, Lan Ziye turned to Chu Xixuan and said, "Should we take action?"
"Yeah!" Chu Xixuan responded and walked out of the room with Lan Ziye.
When Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan left the room, the gardener was the only one left. He was still confused. Did he pass the test or not? What did the young lady mean just now? She seemed to say that she could save her sister. Yes, that's what the young lady said!
The gardener got up and ran out of the room. He wanted to go back to Blue Leaf Town and tell everyone in the town the good news.
But as soon as he left the room, he ran into Xiaoyou head-on. The gardener was very excited and said hurriedly: "Xiaoyou, the young lady said she can help us rescue people. We in Lanye Town..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Xiaoyou's face darken and asked, "You betrayed me?"
The gardener's eyes widened instantly: "You are..."
Before he could finish the rest of the words, the gardener covered his neck with his hands, unable to make any sound. His expression was distorted with pain, and wisps of black smoke came out of his clothes. His face gradually faded and turned into black powder, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only a set of gardener's overalls on the ground!
Xiaoyou licked her lips with enjoyment, raised a scornful smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "Stupid human!" Then she strode away.
Now that they knew who the ogre was, Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan no longer had to worry about anything. They went straight to the house where Uncle Zhong lived, but saw Zixu in front of the house.
Before Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan could speak, Zixu was the first to say respectfully, "Young Master, your steward, Uncle Zhong, is the ogre. It's a pity... he got away!"
"Escaped?" Chu Xixuan narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction and asked, "Is there any other demon who can escape from the hands of Zixu Executioner?"
"I'm sorry!" Zixu lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
