"Thank you." An Yan lowered her eyes and responded, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"I see that you have good wisdom and are a rare talent in the world. Why don't you practice with me?" The Lord of the Dark Moon Realm also asked tentatively without forcing him at all.

An Yan chuckled and said, "Are you trying to persuade me to become a nun?"

"If you are willing, your future achievements will definitely be better than mine. When you achieve success in the future, even I will bow to you." The Lord of the Dark Moon Realm is not the same as

She said this jokingly, but he really saw that she had this blessing. He had been hesitating whether to tell her, and today, seeing that she was burdened by her persistence, he reminded her, which was also another way out.

But An Yan never thought of being like the Dark Moon Realm Lord and said, "If that place is good, why don't you go back and live there? Why do you have to stay here?"

The Dark Moon Realm Lord chuckled and said, "Okay, I won't force you."

An Yan's face remained expressionless, yet she was still somewhat worried.

The Dark Moon Realm Lord said again: "Go get me a wooden box. I can use it."

An Yan would never be stingy with a wooden box. She got up and went back to the inner room, picked out a box made of fine red sandalwood, poured out all the flowered gauze inside, and then took it outside and placed it on the table. She said to the Lord of the Dark Moon Realm, "This can be given to you."

The Lord of the Dark Moon Realm chuckled and didn't explain anything to her. He just opened the lid of the box, then waved his sleeves and cast a ray of light outside the yard. All the Youyue grass in the yard came to his side and condensed into a white ball of light. He grabbed it with his hand again, and saw that the ball of light seemed to be torn into pieces, and turned into small balls, which all fell into the box.

Only then could I see clearly that all the white light balls had turned into small transparent crystals, each one round and clear.

An Yan felt that the Lord of the Dark Moon Realm was so magical. His ability was rare. He could transform everything here into the energy he needed and produce what he wanted.

I heard the Dark Moon Realm Lord say: "There are 108 Dark Moon Grasses, which will transform into 108 crystals. Wear them on your body. If you feel any pain, crush one of them. It will relieve the pain, but once it is used up, it will be gone, and the pain will be more unbearable than before."

An Yan looked inside the box, picked up one, and looked at it towards the sunlight, saying, "It seems to be shining with seven colors inside."

"They are just some small gadgets." The Dark Moon Realm Lord disagreed.

"Thank you." An Yan closed the box, turned around and put it away, then came out and sat down outside.

The Dark Moon Realm Lord looked outside and said, "It's time for me to go back."

"Why don't you stay for dinner?" An Yan asked.

"No." After saying this, the Lord of Dark Moon Realm left the yard like a ray of light.

The old man was about to come over to ask, and seeing that only An Yan was there, he asked, "Why, An Yue is gone?"

"Gone." An Yan replied.

"Oh, I wanted to discuss with him to see if he could make us a new mount, why did he leave?" The old man felt regretful but didn't ask.

"Don't make things difficult for him. It's already good enough that he can lend us his boat. How can you ask for such high standards?" An Yan signaled the old man not to be too greedy.

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore."

Suddenly, a servant came running in from outside and said, "City Lord, it's bad outside. Many people from the river are knocking on the city gate and saying they want to come to the west city."

"What's going on?" An Yan asked.

"We have already closed the city gate, and now more and more people are coming here." The servant reported everything.

The old man quickly said, "I'll go out and see what's going on."

An Yan also strode out of the city and met Mei Die. She said, "I was just about to go over and tell you that the city on the other side of the river is flooded."

Following her was Bei Feng, who had a calm expression on his face and did not look nervous at all.

"Why is there a flood?" An Yan was a little confused.

"It's all because of their quarrels and fights." Meidie said, and then added, "Most of the fish and shrimp over there are dead. I'm afraid the situation is very bad."

An Yan said: "Those people really don't care about the lives of the people in the city." After saying that, he waved his right hand, and a black robe appeared. He put it on his body and went to the city gate like the wind.

Bei Feng was surprised and said, "How cool! The mayor of West City is indeed extraordinary."

"Of course. If you want to talk about the most heroic woman, it must be the mayor of West City. No one can compare to her." Mei Die was a little proud. Whoever praised An Yan was praising her.

Bei Feng lowered his eyes to look at her, but said: "But in my heart, you are the first."

Meidie was shocked by these words and took a step to the side, because she found that Beifeng was very close to her. She was always confused by him recently, especially when he said these love words to her. She immediately said, "I'll go over to help." Then she went to the city gate.

An Yan was already standing on the city wall, looking down, he saw many poor people blocking the door, and many people were also running over. The most pitiful ones were these civilians, they were innocent.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The old man came up and said to An Yan, "Their homes were flooded, so they came here for refuge. What are you going to do?"

An Yan thought about it carefully, and then said, "Is there a place to accommodate them in the city?"

"Yes, there is, but it's not a long-term solution," said the old man.

"It's also my fault. I didn't think it through. I really shouldn't have let these people lose their homes and now they have to suffer like this. We in Xicheng should take care of them. Since the river belongs to us, they are the people of Xicheng." An Yan said to the old man.

The old man nodded and said, "City Lord, please go back first. I'm here. I'll take care of them one by one. But who will go across the river?"

"Let me go." Beifeng said, and he and Meidie also went up to the city wall.

An Yan turned sideways to look at him and said, "Let Meidie go with you to drive out those who refuse to obey. If there are those who resist, execute them on the spot to serve as a warning to others."

Meidie agreed: "Yes, I understand."

"Send a good soldier to accompany you, in case there is a shortage of manpower." An Yan gave another order and looked towards the old man.

The old man nodded in agreement and said, "City Lord, you go back first. I'm here."

"Okay." After saying that, An Yan went down the city wall and returned to her own courtyard. She thought that she should go find Mancao and Qingfeng tomorrow, but if they were unwilling to come out, who should take care of them?

Logically speaking, Beifeng knows the waters best, but he is not from West City after all, so it may be difficult to make arrangements.

An Yan felt that this matter should be discussed after Li Rongsen came back. Right now she had to draw up a rescue plan and also consider how to deal with the aftermath of the waterway and how much money to spend to repair it.

By dinner time, Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu had returned. They did not come to An Yan immediately, but first worked with the old man to make arrangements for the homeless people, and then came to find An Yan. An Yan had already planned everything.

The old man followed Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu and said, "City Lord, everything is ready. We have arranged for them to come into the city. Many families are willing to receive them."

"Okay, take this and do as your superiors say. Don't worry about the money." An Yan was afraid that the old man would be stingy.

The old man said: "The city lord is overthinking. I understand that human lives are at stake. How dare I neglect them?"

An Yan chuckled and nodded, and then listened to the old man continue: "Besides, Mr. Li is the best at making money, so why should I worry?"
