Chapter 985: The House That Changed Hands (3)
“Uh! Yes! Sir Mo Yan, I set this rule for the sake of the safety of Flame City! I was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to sneak in and cause trouble, so I ordered the guards guarding the city not to let more groups enter the city,” Yao Yuan explained guiltily.
“Is that so? Then why were there a few groups with about the same number of people that we have were let into the city?” Leng Xiaoyu asked with a light smile.
“There’s such a thing?” Mo Yan pulled a long face, clearly displeased.
“I… I’m not sure about that,” Yao Yuan said.
“Master, I brought Little Xue’er and the others to see you. However, only I came in. The others were stopped outside,” Leng Xiaoyu complained.
“In that case, take my token and bring them in! I told you long ago to change the token, but you refused. Now, you’re being looked down on!” Mo Yan said in a teasing and serious manner. Then, he took out a golden token from his ring and handed it to Leng Xiaoyu.
There were a total of five types of tokens in the Artificer a.s.sociation. The highest level and authority was purple-gold. That was something that only the President of the Artificer a.s.sociation was qualified to hold. The Vice President held a golden token, and the higher-ups held silver tokens. The President and Vice President of the Artificer a.s.sociation of the Divine Continent all held silver tokens. The token of the Artificers of the a.s.sociation Headquarters was blue, and the ordinary Artificers’ tokens were red.
Because Leng Xiaoyu’s token was red and he had brought so many people to the city, he was stopped by the guards guarding the city. In fact, this was also Yao Yuan’s order.
Leng Xiaoyu did not reach out to take the golden token from Mo Yan. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, “Master, there’s no need. Little Xue’er said that she won’t enter Flame City unless the president personally accepts it.”
“Oh! Looks like this little girl is angry. Alright, President Yao, please welcome her personally!” Mo Yan chuckled and made the final decision. His words clearly did not allow Yao Yuan to refuse.
He knew that it was that little girl who saved his disciple, so he naturally had to give that girl face. However, even if his disciple was not saved by that little guy, just because she was his disciple’s descendant, he had to love her!
“Sir Mo Yan, I…” Yao Yuan wanted to refuse, but he didn’t dare to say it easily. After all, Mo Yan’s status in the Artificer a.s.sociation was much higher than his backer.
“President Yao, is there a problem?” Mo Yan asked with a faint smile. A chill flashed across his eyes.
“Uh! No problem.” Yao Yuan’s heart trembled as he hurriedly said.
“Then go and fetch them in! I still want to see that little girl! Don’t neglect my guests!” Mo Yan reminded.
“Yes, I know what to do,” Yao Yuan said very respectfully.
“Then hurry up!” Mo Yan urged.
“Sir Mo Yan, Sir Liu Feng, I’ll go first.” Yao Yuan bowed and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Leng Xiaoyu.
“Wait, President Yao is really insincere,” Leng Xiaoyu accused with displeasure.
“Leng Xiaoyu, how am I insincere!” Yao Yuan was furious. He was about to pick her up, but Leng Xiaoyu actually wanted to find trouble with him. It was really infuriating.
“You didn’t even call me when you went to pick her up. Do you know who my Little Xue’er is?” Leng Xiaoyu said indifferently.
“Yes, you’re right. You have to go with Xiaoyu,” Mo Yan said before Yao Yuan could speak.
“Then let’s go!” Yao Yuan whispered reluctantly.
“What did you say? Your voice is too soft for me to hear,” Leng Xiaoyu said deliberately.
“Please come with me to pick her up!” Yao Yuan gritted his teeth and said loudly.
“What? Do you want to eat people!” Leng Xiaoyu was dissatisfied again.
“Leng Xiaoyu, you’re clearly doing it on purpose!” Yao Yuan roared a little uneasily.
“Master! He wronged me!” Leng Xiaoyu complained to her master without even looking at Yao Yuan.
“Alright, hurry up and pick up that little girl! Don’t let her wait too long,” Mo Yan said helplessly. He realized that his long-lost disciple had actually learned bad things!
“Alright! Yao Yuan, remember this. I only accompanied you on this trip because of Master!” Leng Xiaoyu reminded before walking ahead without looking back.
When Leng Xiaoyu, Yao Yuan, and the others arrived at the city gate, they realized that there were already many people gathered here.
“What happened?” Captain Zhao, who came with Yao Yuan, hurriedly went forward and shouted when he saw that there were actually people at the city gate.
“Captain, you’re finally here. Boohoo…” When the two city guards saw Captain Zhao, they were even closer than when they saw their biological father. They were just short of kneeling down.
“What’s wrong with you? Who hit you?” Captain Zhao couldn’t help but be angry when he saw his subordinate’s face swollen like a pig’s head. d.a.m.n it, did he have to look at the owner before hitting a dog? Didn’t he know that these two were his subordinates? How dare they not give him face in Flame City? How dare they! He couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
“Who dares to hit the guards of Flame City! They accidentally fell down.” Feng Da chuckled.
“Yes! They fell themselves. We saw it happen,” someone else chimed in.
“You fell? Did you really fall?” Captain Zhao suppressed his anger and asked. d.a.m.n it! He wasn’t blind. Couldn’t he tell that this was a beating?
“Yes, yes.” The two guards nodded hurriedly in fear. Boohoo… They didn’t dare to say no! Those people had said that if they dared to betray them, they would definitely teach them a lesson!
“You…” Captain Zhao was so angry that his face turned green seeing how his subordinates had no backbone.
“Haha! We haven’t seen each other for a while. How did you fall like this?” Suddenly, Leng Xiaoyu’s voice entered everyone’s ears.
Leng Ruoxue raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Leng Xiaoyu, who was winking at her. Then, she chuckled and said, “Cheapsake Old Ancestor, who’s the pig beside you? Come over quickly. Don’t stand with him. It will affect your image.”
“Yes, Little Xue’er makes sense.” Leng Xiaoyu nodded seriously. Then, she deliberately distanced herself from Yao Yuan and showed him to everyone.
