"Hey, don't come over here!"
Looking at Lu Feng, who was smiling and stepping closer to him, Wang Long, who usually feared nothing, felt a bit overwhelmed, especially by the intense gaze in her eyes. It suddenly dawned on him that there was no one else around except for the two of them! In other words, whatever Lu Feng intended to do to him, no one would see it, and no one would stop her!
"Pfft!" Seeing Wang Long's slightly awkward expression, Lu Feng finally couldn't hold back and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
"I heard from my second sister that you're quite the notorious wolf. But you seem to be behaving yourself. What did you do to make my second sister hold such a grudge against you?"
Wang Long immediately recalled his first encounter with Miss Lu Er and quickly protested, "I swear I didn't do anything disrespectful to Miss Lu Er! I just happened to say something extra at that time; I didn't expect it would upset her."
Wang Long hurriedly recounted the details of his first meeting with Miss Lu Er. By the end, when he mentioned "fate," which made Lu Rou think he was taking advantage of her, he was almost in tears.
"Alright, stop pretending. Even if my second sister is a bit domineering, she wouldn't bully someone like you too badly. It's probably just some harsh words."
It seemed that the rumors outside were indeed correct; this strict City Lord Lu Feng showed an extraordinary level of indulgence towards her younger sister!
"Wang Long!" At that moment, a furious low shout came from another part of the courtyard. Wang Long looked up and saw it was Second Miss Lu, Lu Rou! "You scoundrel! I can't believe you're not only a wolf but also a petty person who talks behind others' backs! I will not let you off today!"
Wang Long felt utterly frustrated!
This was definitely a conspiracy!
It seemed there was some kind of formation in this courtyard that could block his perception of Spiritual Essence, allowing Lu Rou to hide without him noticing.
Now, great! The old grievances hadn't even been resolved yet, and now she heard him speaking ill of her in front of her sister. He feared he would be on Miss Lu Er's hit list for a long time to come.
What’s even more frustrating is that Lu Feng must know that her second sister is hiding there, yet she doesn’t remind him while he’s “explaining”!
Faced with the countless wind blades unleashed by Lu Rou, Wang Long didn’t even have the chance to explain again. He dared not stand there waiting to face Lu Rou’s wrath—those hundreds or thousands of wind blades were no joke. Based on Lu Rou’s displayed strength, although it was slightly inferior to his own, getting hit would definitely result in serious injuries.
Watching Wang Long in a state of utter disarray under the relentless pursuit of his second sister, Lu Feng finally let go of the pressure and pretense of being the city lord and burst into laughter.
“What! You want us to join the City Guard of Nanhua City?” Upon hearing this news from Wang Long, Ying Sang and the others couldn’t help but feel excited. In the past, the City Guard of Nanhua City was merely a basic defense force, but for those of them living in the most remote villages, it was something they could only hear about. Although they had recently experienced significant improvements in strength under Wang Long’s guidance, they never expected to be granted entry into the City Guard system.
Especially under the command of Wang Long!
This meant that their temporary formations could still be effective—if it were any other officer, they wouldn’t be able to command them to utilize these formations.
Although there was a minor issue that others would also be joining their team, requiring some adjustment with new companions, who would care about such details in light of this unexpected joy?
More importantly, this attitude indicated that Lu Feng, the City Lord had definitely agreed to their request! As long as they could contribute during the upcoming battle against the Demon Clan, it would surely bring more benefits to their village.
“Of course, would I lie to you? Especially in front of Second Miss Lu, faking her sister’s orders? She would kill me!” Wang Long didn’t focus on those ordinary warriors he hadn’t met yet. Instead, he was filled with resentment towards the Miss Lu Er standing beside him.
In a situation where he could only evade and not retaliate, the gap in strength between him and Lu Rou had become almost negligible. After several close calls with her wind blades nearly grazing his head, Lu Feng finally “timely” stopped his sister’s antics. However, upon hearing Lu Rou’s next request, it made his previously relieved heart feel uneasy again.
This girl actually wanted to join the elite team led by Wang Long! Moreover, she claimed that there would be female warriors in the new team and insisted on personally supervising this “pervert” to prevent him from harming those female warriors!
“Do I really look like a pervert? Is this little girl ever going to stop? Sooner or later…” Of course, Wang Long didn’t dare say this out loud; otherwise, he would face another storm. He could only complain inwardly while casting a lecherous glance at this somewhat youthful beauty…
Revealing an infinite amount of lewdness…
However, regardless of what he thought in his heart, Wang Long had to face the fact that he would be spending a long time with Miss Lu Er, who held great hostility towards him.
This was certainly not good news, as Miss Lu Er's strength was astonishing, even stronger than that of an average elder-level expert.
"Lord Wang Long!" At that moment, a very flattering voice appeared. Wang Long forced a smile and turned to face Yu Yaoran. "I really didn't expect you to leave so soon; it's quite hard to part with you."
"Is it hard to part with such a powerful expert leaving your Yu Family's use?" Lu Rou bluntly pointed out Yu Yaoran's true thoughts without regard for the occasion.
"Ahem, well, I came specifically to send Lord Wang Long off," Yu Yaoran awkwardly cleared his throat. "After all, we are friends, and we've spent quite some time together. Now that you're leaving, I can't just let it go without any gesture, can I?"
As he spoke, Yu Yaoran gestured for Yu Bing, who had been following closely behind—ever since the incident today where he almost got taken out by Nin Tian, he was now too afraid to let Yu Bing leave his side except when it came to women—to take out a box.
"What is this?" Wang Long thought clearly; Yu Yaoran was trying to curry favor with him at the last moment as a "promising" future figure. From this perspective, the gift would surely not be light.
"Wind Horn!" With a hint of reluctance, Yu Yaoran gently revealed the name of the treasure inside the box.
In an instant, even Miss Lu Er showed a look of surprise!
