Meng Wan's expression was complicated, filled with fear and hesitation.
But in the end, she insisted, "Thank you for the reminder, but I have my reasons for going."
The young man frowned, but didn't say much.
The younger sister turned around and looked at her brother. "Brother, she's going the same way as us. Why don't we take her with us into the city? One more person means more care."
"no."
The young man coldly refused, "You just saw it. When she faced the Jie Xiu, she had no power to fight back. Her cultivation was purely for show.
You alone are holding me back, and you want to find someone else to hold me back?"
After being rejected, my sister didn't look embarrassed at all.
"Oh, why am I holding you back? Doesn't this mean I don't have the chance to take action? Brother, can you bear to ignore such a weak woman?"
The younger sister pulled the young man's hand and acted coquettishly while winking at him.
The young man was annoyed by the noise and had no choice but to agree.
"Alright, since we're on the way, I can allow her to go into the city with us. But once we're in the city, we'll have to go our separate ways."
My sister suppressed her smile and nodded, "I know."
Meng Wan was very surprised, but also a little apologetic. She quickly assured them, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you!"
My sister chuckled and waved her hand, then whispered to Meng Wan.
"Actually, my brother may seem difficult to get along with, but he's actually a warm-hearted person. Once we get into the city, he definitely won't chase you away."
Meng Wan gave the other person a grateful smile, "My name is Zhang Wan'er. I haven't asked for your name, fairy?"
"My name is Shen Zihan, and my brother is Shen Zixuan."
Meng Wan nodded, but she was pouting in her heart.
These two names are so common that they are obviously pseudonyms.
But she also used a pseudonym, so everyone is the same.
This brother and sister also came to Hengyue City for the first time and were not very familiar with the situation here.
However, Shen Zixuan had amazing swordsmanship. After repelling two groups of robbers, the three of them successfully arrived at the gate of Hengyue City.
While queuing at the city gate, Shen Zihan whispered to Meng Wan.
"I heard from my elders that there is a Jindan cultivator in charge of Hengyue City."
Meng Wan's eyes widened in surprise. "A Jindan cultivator? Isn't that a more powerful being than a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
Meng Wan’s ignorant look made Shen Zihan laugh secretly, but she looked serious.
"Of course. Hengyue City is adjacent to the Tianheng Mountains. We must have a strong person to stay here in order to intimidate the monsters in the mountains."
The three of them paid the entrance fee and entered the city smoothly. As expected, Shen Zixuan did not mention asking Meng Wan to leave.
Meng Wan took the opportunity to shamelessly rely on the two of them.
Along the way, Shen Zihan was like a little yellow oriole, chattering non-stop, and occasionally asking about Meng Wan.
"Sister Wan'er, you're so young, yet you've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Are you from a cultivation family like us?"
Shen Zihan's innocent tone was full of temptation.
If Meng Wan was really as naive as she appeared to be, she might be deceived by the other party's appearance.
But she is also good at acting.
Meng Wan sighed, "Actually, I ran away without telling my family. I left in a hurry and didn't take anything with me.
My father was a foundation-building cultivator, but unfortunately, after an accident, his Dantian was damaged, causing his cultivation to plummet. I was also ostracized in the clan..."
Having said that, Meng Wan smiled bitterly.
"My main purpose for coming to Hengyue City is to find elixirs to help my father recover as soon as possible."
Shen Zihan looked at Meng Wan sympathetically. The elixir that could repair the Dantian was extremely precious, and even a Jindan cultivator might not be able to find it.
It's ridiculous that she, a Qi-refining cultivator, dares to have such delusions.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up Sister Wan'er's sad memories..."
Meng Wan shook her head, looking as if she had let it go.
"It's okay. I know there's little hope, but I just want to do my best and not leave any regrets."
After Shen Zihan comforted Meng Wan for a few words, she quickly changed the subject and said seriously.
“Before we left, the elders of our clan told my brother and me that the situation in Hengyue City was complicated, and there were many demon cultivators hiding their identities.
We must proceed with caution and not easily get into conflict with others."
Meng Wan nodded seriously, "Thank you, Fairy Shen, for telling me this. I'll take note."
In fact, in Meng Wan's opinion, compared with the Xuanyin Sect and Yinyue Market, the public security in Hengyue City is already quite good.
At least in the city, no one dared to cause a death in public.
After walking around Hengyue City for a while, Shen Zihan touched her stomach and couldn't walk anymore in front of a restaurant.
"Brother, I'm hungry. How about eating something first and then looking for a place to stay?"
Shen Zixuan was helpless, "Don't you have the Qigong Pill?"
"That thing can only fill my stomach, but it can't satisfy my cravings. I want to eat meat!"
Shen Zihan said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
After taking the fasting pills for so many days, she had already had enough.
"Okay."
Shen Zixuan didn't say anything else. He walked into the restaurant and asked for a private room.
The waiter served tea and handed the menu to the three people, smiling.
"We have newly arrived golden-eyed ape meat. Would you like some?"
Shen Zihan looked at him suspiciously, "The Golden Eyed Ape is a Foundation Establishment Realm monster. Can you even provide the meat of a Foundation Establishment Realm monster?"
The waiter still had a smile on his face and enthusiastically promoted the product.
