Chapter 643: Phantom’s Reunion (1)
The next second, five familiar figures entered her line of sight.
Their beautiful and handsome faces and straightened posture made them seem like they were not of that world.
They were Qi Xia, Yan Yu, Tang Nazhi, Yang Xi, and Li Xiaowei. Those five animals had unexpectedly traveled over land and water to her desolate city. At that very moment, all of them stood before Shen Yanxiao, and a familiar smile could be seen on their faces.
“You… why did you all come?” Shen Yanxiao looked at her five comrades in astonishment. She could hardly believe what she saw.
Qi Xia looked at Shen Yanxiao with a smile and lazily said, “Our little sister came to such a remote place on her own, so how could we let her be? We had some unfinished things to deal with, so we could not tag along the day you left. Since we’ve completed our tasks, naturally, we had to come here to rely on you. We hope that this small city’s master will take us in.”
“Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao, you’ve lost weight in the one month we’ve not seen you. Is there nothing delicious to eat here?” Tang Nazhi teased Shen Yanxiao, but his smile would make one want to beat him up.
“I see that the city walls are nearly completed. It must have been hard on you this month.” Even though Yang Xi had a cold expression on his face, his words were of care and concern.
“Tang Nazhi is right. You’ve lost weight. I’ll just have to fatten you up now that I’m here.” Yan Yu said gently.
The comrades that she had not seen for a month had appeared in front of her. Shen Yanxiao’s eyes watered when she heard the concern in their voices. The Forsaken Land was not a fun place, and she still remembered how much they disliked it when they talked about it in the past.
However, they had given up their luxurious lives to go to the Forsaken Land because of her.
Shen Yanxiao was shocked by their actions, but at the same time, she rejoiced. She was happy because she had friends like them.
“You… Enough of that. Aren’t you afraid that your family heads would come here and drag you back? Are you sure it’s not a problem for you to come here?” Shen Yanxiao’s nose tightened. She had always been alone, especially since her reincarnation. She had achieved so much by herself.
However, she had not only gained a group of loyal followers, but she also had a group of comrades who would do so much for her.
“We’ve already made arrangements for that. Won’t you come over to look at the presents we brought for you?” Qi Xia chuckled as he pulled Shen Yanxiao toward the street.
Hundreds of carriages were parked there, and each one had about five to six young men.
“Who are they?” Shen Yanxiao was dumbstruck.
“We know that you’re building a city, and so, we brought you some help. All of them have their own strengths, from construction to sewing. It would be sufficient for you to build up an entire city.” Qi Xia smiled as he said.
Ever since Shen Yanxiao’s departure, the five of them had not been idle. They started to recruit various elites from within the Longxuan Empire, and they finally managed to gather a group of people in a month. They had expended a ma.s.sive deal of effort and energy to persuade those people to go to the Forsaken Land. Not only that, they had suffered no lack of problems to dig up talents from all the different fields.
“Rest a.s.sured that they do not belong to our families. No contracts or families restrict them. From today onward, they are under your jurisdiction.” Qi Xia raised his hand to pat Shen Yanxiao’s head.
