"My mother is discussing matters with Team Leader Zhang. Senior Brother Qin, please come in!" Pan Qing replied, and then greeted Han Li behind him.
Han Li didn't have a bad impression of the young proprietor of Tiandong Trading Company, and of course he wouldn't be rude. He nodded in response and grabbed the girl who was clinging to him to the ground.
But as soon as the girl's feet landed on the ground, her body swooped down again, clinging to Han Li's body like a piece of candy, and her little hands grasped the hem of his clothes.
Although he had some expectations, when he saw this scene, Han Li still sighed a little depressedly, and had no choice but to walk into the wooden house with a little tail.
The house was a temporary building, so it was not too big in area, only about seven or eight feet in size, but it was also kept clean, and there was even a set of exquisite sandalwood furniture placed in it.
This set of furniture is certainly not a temporary piece of furniture!
The beautiful Mrs. Fang was sitting on the main seat talking to Zhang Kui, and there were six people standing next to her with their hands tied.
The pair of gray-robed men were the same pair of guards who had suffered a small loss at the hands of Han Li that day, and the four girls were Liu Er and the other four maids.
The entry of Han Li and others naturally interrupted Mrs. Fang's speech. The woman stood up to greet them:
"Master Qin, you are finally back. I plan to ask Leader Zhang to accompany you... Hey, Leader Han has been brought back by you. That's great. This saves me the trouble. This...
Isn't this the granddaughter of City Lord Zhao?" Mrs. Fang showed an expression of surprise when she saw Han Li. When she glanced at the girl next to Han Li, she showed another expression of surprise on her face.
The others were also shocked when they saw Han Li and the girl. However, Liu Er and the other four girls were naturally a little happy.
"City Lord Zhao? Madam Nan is talking about City Lord Zhao of Anyuan City?" The man in brocade robes was stunned.
"Who else could it be besides this City Lord Zhao?" Mrs. Fang said with a strange look on her face.
"City Lord Zhao's physical refining skills are almost as good as those of late-stage foundation-building monks. Even if the city is destroyed, he should be able to escape with his life. If he knew that his granddaughter was safe and sound, he would definitely be overjoyed. I don't know if there is anyone here.
The family members of City Lord Zhao?" the man named Qin said thoughtfully.
"It seems that there is an old housekeeper from the Zhao family and several servants nearby. I will send someone to look for him right now." Mrs. Fang smiled, turned around and gave a few instructions to a big man, and asked him to leave the house.
There was no intention to ask the girl why she was with Han Li.
"It really surprises me that Leader Han can survive among the beasts safely. But this time, four waves of beasts attacked a mere Anyuan City at the same time. Why do I feel something is wrong?" Waiting for Jinpao.
As soon as the man and others took their seats, Mrs. Fang frowned slightly and said.
"It's a bit weird. It wouldn't be strange if a large beast tide of this size were placed in a medium-sized city. But it would be a bit strange if it was placed in a small town. According to past practice, when the beast tide breaks out, the Qingluo Desert is not close to
In Anyuan City, the sandworm beast should not appear. Even because it is not far from the place where the red python beast is entrenched, it will hinder the red python beast instead of running so far to attack Anyuan City.
"Yes." The man surnamed Qin also seemed a little doubtful.
"Senior Brother, what you mean is that a high-level monster really intervened in the destruction of Anyuan City." Pan Qing looked shocked and said in a loss of voice.
"It's hard to say. It might just be a coincidence. But no matter what the truth of the matter is, it's not something we at our level can get involved in. We have seniors from Tianyuan City to investigate the matter." The man in brocade robes shook his head and replied.
"What Immortal Master Qin said is reasonable. We don't need to discuss this matter. In fact, if there are hundreds of foundation-building monks in Anyuan City to help, these beasts are nothing to fear." After Mrs. Fang's eyes changed, she suddenly
Said so.
"This is simply impossible. Although there are countless cultivators in the Third Realm, there are only a few who appear in human cities when the beast tide breaks out and are willing to help. After all, human cities have too many mortals living nearby.
The spiritual energy of the city is far thinner than that of other places, let alone those of spiritual mountains and spiritual places. If the immortal cultivators were not entangled in the secular world, they would not want to come to mortal cities at all. Even the markets of our immortal cultivators, except for those directly controlled by the monks,
Except for the few large cities under our control that can be set up, the rest of the small and medium-sized cities are not qualified to set up at all. This is also the reason why there will be no outbreaks of beasts in several big cities. There are probably tens of thousands of low-level immortal cultivators who appear in those cities every day.
What kind of beasts numbering in the millions would dare to attack a city like this?" the man surnamed Qin replied calmly.
"Millions?" Although Han Li knew that the number of monks in the spiritual world was astonishing, he still couldn't help but twitch when he heard that the number of monks floating around in a city was so terrifying.
"I have some extravagant hopes. The Three Realms are so big, and the area controlled by a mortal city is only a drop in the bucket. Naturally, I won't take it too seriously in the eyes of the immortal masters." Mrs. Fang sighed softly.
Hearing Mrs. Fang's slightly dissatisfied words, the man in brocade robes who was also an immortal cultivator could only show a wry smile.
Everyone knows about this conflict between mortals and monks. How dare he, a mere monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, dare to talk to each other so easily.
At this moment, a warning came from outside the door:
"Mrs. Qi, City Lord Zhao's housekeeper has been brought here. Can you let him in?"
"Of course, let him in." Mrs. Fang replied without thinking.
"Yes!" With a respectful reply, the door opened and three people walked in from the outside.
One of them was the big man in gray robe, and the other two were a slender and delicate girl and an old man with gray hair.
When she saw the two people behind her, the girl who was holding on to Han Li's shirt tightly shook her petite body, and her little face showed a happy expression for the first time.
"It's really Miss Sun, that's great. Miss Dai'er, are you okay? Let Lan'er take a look..." As soon as the pretty girl saw the girl, she immediately ran over and half-crouched in front of the girl, choking with sobs.
said.
The girl also let go of Han Li's clothes for the first time, hugged the girl, and started crying.
"Thank you, Mrs. Fang, for bringing Miss Sun back. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to the master." The old man was also very surprised and thanked Mrs. Fang repeatedly.
"This is not my fault, it's Miss Zhao who was rescued by Team Leader Han." Mrs. Fang did not take the credit, but was slightly acknowledging Han Li.
"Thank you so much, young master. I will definitely report this matter to the master and I will thank you very much." The old man said hurriedly to Han Li.
"It was just a little effort to save this noble lady. There is no need to thank you for anything. Just take this little girl away." Han Li looked at the old man up and down, and after confirming that the old man was just an ordinary person, he waved his hand and said.
Next, the old man said some words of gratitude, took the girl and the maid who looked like a maid to say goodbye and left.
Although the girl named Dai'er was no longer obsessed with Han Li, she still looked back at Han Li repeatedly before going out, with a look of reluctance in her big black eyes.
Seeing the girl's puppy-like cuteness, Han Li suddenly made a childish face at the girl, and then turned serious again.
Han Li's behavior naturally made the girl giggle for a while, and finally left the room with a sweet smile.
"It seems that Brother Han has a good impression of this little girl. However, City Lord Zhao is really safe and sound, but the city was destroyed and so many people died under the beasts. Even if there are many excuses, the guilt is not small. The Zhao family's
The situation is not good." The man in brocade robes had been secretly watching Han Li's actions and suddenly said this.
"What does this have to do with Han? Naturally, the Zhao family's affairs should be taken care of by the people named Zhao." Han Li glanced at the man named Qin, his expression unusually calm.
"Haha, that's why Qin is so troubled. Mrs. Fang, since Brother Han has come back, shouldn't we also make some things clear to Brother Han?" The man in brocade robes chuckled, suddenly turned his head, and said to Mrs. Fang.
.
"Mingyan, oh, this is natural. If you want to ask Mr. Han for help, naturally you need to explain the matter more clearly. I'm afraid I need Mr. Han to assist Qin Xianshi this time." Mrs. Fang was startled when she heard this, but she immediately reacted.
When I came over, I suddenly became extremely polite.
"Let's listen to what Madam has to say. If it's too important and beyond my capabilities, please don't delay Madam and Immortal Master Qin's important matters." Han Li touched his chin and said noncommittally.
"This is what happened. One of my caravans accidentally discovered something that can greatly increase the chance of a monk forming an elixir..." Mrs. Fang organized her thoughts and began to speak slowly.
Han Li listened calmly and silently, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
