Mu Feng heard the noise outside and was wondering how to respond when the door was broken open.
A giant sword shattered the iron gate, and the flying iron filings blinded the surrounding guards.
Then a large group of skeleton warriors swarmed in from outside the door with a creaking sound.
The guard opened his eyes and saw this scene. Looking at the large number of undead, he felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but wonder who had disturbed the undead's nest.
Before they could figure it out, a group of drooling ghouls came in from outside, and the first floor of the service hall was completely surrounded by them.
The guards were forced to retreat, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to attack at Mu Feng's command.
Seeing this scene, Mu Feng hesitated, wondering whether he should order the start of the war.
The other side hasn't shown themselves yet, and if I rashly start a fight, I'm afraid I might hurt Miss.
However, if we don't start a war, we'll still be at a great disadvantage if the other side sets up their formation. Moreover, the strength they've displayed is alarming, which makes me want to strike first.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to fight, he was soon glad that he hadn't been reckless, because a group of transparent creatures, like ghosts from a TV series, crawled into the room from the wall.
Once they entered the room, the temperature inside began to drop sharply, making the guards feel as if they were in a frozen wasteland.
Before everyone could finish their astonishment, the window was broken by an external force, and a group of handsome foreign men and women flew in through it.
They perched on the stairs, watching the surrounded guards below with ambiguous expressions.
Humans, delicious humans!
They've long been weary of being drained of the blood of greenskins and monsters. If it weren't for the Queen's suppression, they would have gone on strike long ago. A mere mid-level necromancer is not qualified to control them.
They wouldn't mind changing their tastes if the Queen gave the order.
Liu Nian slowly walked into the service station, followed by two burly men in black armor.
He was carrying a travel bag, the same travel bag they had found in their car outside the door, the one Liu Nian had only given to Lu Jiaqi.
Mu Feng was sweating profusely, thankful that he hadn't chosen to take action earlier.
The newcomer was a high-level mage; even at level 22, I couldn't tell his level. I wondered what kind of spell the other party was using to interfere with my information gathering.
Seeing the level of skill displayed by the other party, he knew that there was no way he could defeat them by force. As long as it didn't involve the young lady, he could accept any condition. He had made up his mind without hesitation.
But when he saw the travel bag the newcomer was carrying, his eyes narrowed and his expression became troubled.
He recognized the travel bag at a glance; it was the same one the young lady was carrying.
The atmosphere was a bit somber, and no one dared to speak until Liu Nian spoke.
Liu Nian looked at them with a slightly impatient expression, and when he became impatient, the summoned creature would slowly take a step forward.
This move cornered all the guards. They knew that if they didn't speak up now, they would never have the chance to speak again. The guards looked at their leader, Mu Feng, with pleading eyes.
Mu Feng was caught in a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness, but in the end his gaze became open, as if he had made a choice in his heart.
He took a deep breath and shouted, "Xiao Wu, Liu Zi, take Miss away!"
He then drew his weapon and unleashed a wide-area thunderous strike, reducing the attack speed and movement speed of nearby summoned creatures.
Seeing this, the other guards followed suit and drew their weapons to attack.
The sensitive word "Miss" saved his life. Liu Nian's eyes flickered thoughtfully as he directed the vampire upstairs to open all the doors.
Sure enough, inside a room, two men were preparing to escort a woman down from the window, with ropes made of tattered rags tied to the windowsill.
Hearing the noise at the door, the two young men rushed towards the door without hesitation and dragged the vampire who had entered.
The woman instinctively turned her head, and was somewhat astonished when she saw the vampire's appearance, but then overjoyed.
"Uncle Mu, Brother Liu Nian, stop!" she hurriedly shouted to stop the fight.
Hearing Lu Jiaqi's voice, Liu Nian felt a weight lifted from her heart; she had finally found it!
Looking up at Lu Jiaqi, who was surrounded by people and appeared beside the stairs, Liu Nian didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, all I could say was, "Next time you leave without saying goodbye, remember to leave a note!"
"You searched all night?" Lu Jiaqi didn't answer that question, but instead asked a new one.
This question left Liu Nian speechless, so he chose to remain silent.
Lu Jiaqi deduced the result from Liu Nian's expression, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. As if she remembered something, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Liu Nian remained silent and recalled the summoned creatures back to the dark space, leaving only the ghosts and vampires behind.
With Liu Nian guarding this place, the night-roaming demons wisely refrained from attacking.
The guards breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the summoned creature suddenly disappear. It was good that they knew it; no one wanted to fight such a monster. Their gazes toward Liu Nian were a mixture of fear and respect.
They walked past Liu Nian with trepidation, fearing that they would anger him and be drained dry by his summoned creatures.
Mu Feng was the only exception. He noticed his young lady's unusual feelings for this man and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. No one was good enough for his young lady!
Liu Nian and he loathed each other. If it weren't for his meddling, she wouldn't have had such a difficult day.
On this point, the two strangely thought of the same thing, each believing the other to be a shark!
Seeing that the young lady was about to go downstairs, Mu Feng snorted and went upstairs, saying kindly to Lu Jiaqi, "It's time to rest!"
What's so interesting about that one-eyed guy? There are plenty of talented young men in the city, why would he be the one to stand out?
Lu Jiaqi had no choice but to listen to her elders, so she could only whisper to Liu Nian, "See you tomorrow!"
Although the window had a hole, Lu Jiaqi suddenly felt that the room wasn't so bad after all!
He actually dared to travel through the night to come here for me. Thinking of this, Lu Jiaqi felt a sweet feeling welling up in her heart, and then she fell into a deep sleep.
Unfortunately, Liu Nian was unable to meet her in the morning. Before dawn, he set off to find the location of the military camp.
Before parting, although he disliked Mu Feng's sullen face, he still solemnly handed the string of military license plates to Mu Feng.
"Then the commission is complete!" Liu Nian said solemnly as Mu Feng took the military tag from his hand.
"Of course, the Lu family will always be grateful for everything you have done."
Looking at the heavy string of military license plates in his hand, Mu Feng, though not particularly optimistic about Liu Nian, admired Liu Nian's character for escorting a stranger all this way without any personal gain. He spoke seriously.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to her?" Seeing that Liu Nian didn't seem to be pretending to really want to leave, Mu Feng finally spoke up to remind her.
"I hate saying goodbye." Liu left without looking back, quickly disappearing into the darkness before dawn.
The two of them were from two different worlds; their paths only occasionally crossed!
