After hearing what Qin Gengyun said, everyone realized that Ruomei was missing. Wei Wan frowned slightly and asked Qin Gengyun:
"Isn't Ruomei on the same team with you?"
Qin Gengyun was suddenly speechless. In fact, he had been paying attention to Ruomei along the way, but he discovered that Ruomei was missing when he rescued Qin Heyuan. He didn't even know when she got lost.
At this time, Shi Ying said, "We met Junior Sister Ruo, and she has been with us in Liuyan Lane to kill monsters!"
"Yes, Junior Sister Ruomei killed several ghost wolves!"
A Jietian Peak disciple who was in the same team as Shi Ying also said this.
Qin Gengyun asked quickly: "Where did you meet her? Do you know where she is now?"
Shi Ying and the others were suddenly speechless. They only realized now that Ruomei was missing.
"I'm here."
At this time, a soft and gentle voice was heard. Everyone turned around and saw Ruomei walking slowly towards them with a sword in her hand. Her face and clothes were covered in blood, and she looked quite creepy.
Qin Gengyun's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Junior Sister Ruo, are you okay?"
Ruomei seemed to be frightened by him. She subconsciously took a half step back and shook her head shyly:
"No, it's okay. This is all the blood of monsters."
Then other people gathered around and asked about her with concern. Ruomei's cheeks turned red and she felt embarrassed, and she stammered what had happened.
When she and Qin Gengyun and others were heading to Qingluo Lane, they encountered a group of monsters and were dispersed immediately.
Later, she met Shi Ying's group again in Liuyan Lane. Because she was good at close combat, she had to rush into the group of monsters to fight. As a result, when she turned back, Shi Ying and others were gone.
She fought with several monsters, and then heard a cunning howl in the distance. All the monsters retreated. She didn't know the way, so she searched everywhere, and finally found the main force.
"I see. If you have worked hard, it is because we have failed to protect you."
After hearing this, everyone was worried about Ruomei. Shi Ying immediately bowed and apologized, and others also comforted Ruomei.
She looks petite and introverted, but she is extremely brave when fighting monsters, regardless of her own safety, so everyone feels more sympathy for her.
After Shi Ying apologized, he glanced at Qin Gengyun and said, "If Junior Sister got separated and met us by chance, she was originally in the same team with Junior Brother He. Why didn't you take good care of her? Could it be that Junior Brother He only has the ferocious beasts in his eyes, not his fellow disciples?"
This tough guy was actually being sarcastic to Qin Gengyun for Ruomei. Qin Gengyun didn't know why he suddenly felt sour in his heart and said coldly:
"I did not protect Junior Sister Ruo well, but I won't do it again next time. Senior Brother Shi should just take care of yourself."
The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and everyone stared at the two of them blankly.
Liusu was even more stunned. What did this mean? The young lady had only been gone for a few days, and the son-in-law was already jealous of another woman?
Ruomei suddenly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi, but I don't need anyone to take care of me."
“???” Shi Ying was stunned.
The others lowered their heads, all in shock and embarrassment.
You blamed He Zhiqiu for Junior Sister Ruomei, but Junior Sister Ruomei didn't appreciate it at all and even tried to make excuses for He Zhiqiu.
Why are you doing this?
Ruomei was stunned as soon as she said this. In order to disguise her identity, she should pretend to be shy and not speak.
But when she saw someone criticizing Qin Gengyun, she subconsciously couldn't help it.
She secretly glanced at Qin Gengyun, and seeing that he was also looking at her, she quickly lowered her head.
He wouldn't notice anything, would he?
Qin Gengyun looked at Ruomei steadily, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. At this moment, he was very close to Ruomei, but he did not smell that familiar body fragrance.
Because Ruomei's body is covered in blood now, and there is only a strong smell of blood. How can she smell any other smell?
At this time, a figure flew over from a distance. It was a man in a brocade robe. He came closer and bowed to Wei Wan:
"Greetings, Fairy Wei. My name is Yan Mengsheng, and I am the governor of Yunling Town."
Wei Wan responded gently: "Yan Zhenshou, I couldn't find you just now and thought you had died. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I am relieved."
Yan Mengsheng trembled slightly and said quickly: "Fairy Wei, the city was breached too suddenly today. We had no time to organize a resistance. I was trapped by a group of golden-eyed bears just now, and I was able to escape now."
Wei Wan's words seemed to show concern for his safety, but in fact she was reprimanding him for not fulfilling his responsibilities and failing to protect Yunling Town and its people.
The city lords and garrisons of the three cities and twelve towns were all directly appointed by the Zhenyang Sect. A high-ranking disciple like Wei Wan had the power of life and death over a mere garrison, which made Yan Mengsheng nervous.
Qin Gengyun looked at Yan Mengsheng carefully. He had a long face, thin eyebrows, and a thin body. He did not look like a monk, but more like a scholar.
Speaking of which, Qin Gengyun has lived in Yunling Town for so long, but this is the first time he has seen the town guard.
At this time, the man guarding in front of Wei Wan was like a humble servant, with his forehead almost touching the ground.
Wei Wan's voice was still gentle: "Shou Yan, you have worked hard. Please arrange a place for us to rest."
"Yes, please follow me."
Yan Mengsheng quickly agreed and led everyone towards Qingluo Lane.
On the way, they also told about the monster attack.
Half a month ago, there were indeed two fifth-grade monsters leading many lower-level monsters to attack Yunling Town.
However, Yunling Town had a defensive formation and did not suffer much damage. Yan Mengsheng learned that the neighboring town was also attacked by monsters. Knowing that things were not good, he immediately sent a message to Zhenyang Sect.
Later, the two fifth-grade monsters came to harass from time to time, but they always returned empty-handed.
Gradually, the people in Yunling Town felt that the beast tide was nothing more than that and slowly relaxed their vigilance.
Who would have thought that a sixth-rank monster would suddenly appear today, and the number of monsters attacking the town increased several times, and the defense formation of Yunling Town was quickly breached.
The town was breached too quickly, and everyone was caught off guard, resulting in a tragic loss of countless casualties.
After hearing Yan Mengsheng's words, Wei Wan's gentle eyes suddenly turned cold:
"Sure guard, the beast tide is approaching, and the lives of tens of thousands of people in the town are at risk. A casual cultivator can be careless, a street guard can be careless, how can you be careless too?"
Yan Mengsheng was sweating profusely and almost knelt down on the spot, saying repeatedly:
"It was my negligence. I deserve to die. Please punish me, Fairy!"
Wei Wan glanced at him and said calmly, "That sixth-grade monster will come again. We should unite and fight the monster together."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your generosity, fairy!"
Yan Mengsheng's body was bent like a shrimp, with a look of panic on his face.
All the disciples of Zhenyang Sect were silent, still immersed in the shock and grief of their fellow disciple's tragic death.
Mo Xiaolan was the last one standing alone, looking dazed.
Qin Gengyun slowed down his pace, walked to her side, and whispered:
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Mo Xiaolan raised her head, her face pale:
"The wounds on Senior Brother Feng and the others are the same as those on my father's body! They were also killed by that cunning creature!"
