Chapter 1629: Clear as Day at a Glance
reak of light and vanished. 。North City, number 101 。After returning, Fang Yu first changed into a clean set of clothes in the bamboo building, and then went to the top floor of the bamboo building,..."Don't panic, I don't want to touch you, and I won't." 。Fang Yu said 。"You..." Nuo Ling's eyes were still filled with tears, obviously still angry. 。"You deliberately disguised yourself as an ugly person and set up a room with a coffin and spirit tablets in your own house, just to scare me away" Fang Yu smiled slightly. "This method should have been very effective before." 。Noelle bit her lip, remaining silent. 。Because, Fang Yu said it all right. 。Whether it was her physique and appearance resembling a muscular man, or the arrangement of that room, she had meticulously designed them to scare away those who came for the martial arts competition. 。Some burly men turned and ran at the sight of her face, while others rushed into the room only to bolt out again in haste. 。That's because Nuo Ling doesn't want to get married! Her father set up the martial arts tournament to find her a husband, a strong and powerful warrior. 。Keno Ling disliked these brawny men immensely, but her father seemed to adore them!
So, ever since the martial arts tournament and matchmaking event, Keno Ling had been using every means at her disposal to scare off suitors. 。As long as these prospective grooms leave before meeting her father, then... she will not be able to marry any of them. 。However, Nuo Ling's father never gave up, holding a martial arts competition every week to find her a husband. 。
And this week, what awaited him was none other than Dong Xiaoqiang right before his eyes. 。But this Dong Xiaoqiang not only wasn't deterred by her appearance, he didn't even feel afraid when he broke into that room. He just came into her room and lay down on her bed. 。Now, even her act is transparent. 。
Now... it's over. 。If Dong Xiaoqiang wanted to, he could even threaten her with what happened today! The more Nuo Ling thought about it, the angrier and sadder she became, tears streaming down her face. 。
"Why are you crying I haven't said anything yet." 。"Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said," 。“I tell you, I would rather die...than marry you! I don't like you!” Norling backed away a few steps, gritting her teeth. 。I won't marry you, and I don't like you. 。"Fang Yu said helplessly," 。No Ling was stunned, and then frowned at Fang Yu, asking in a choked voice: "Then, then what do you want to do" "You just need to help me get an item, and I will leave on my own, and never show up again." 。Fang Yu smiled faintly. 。"What do you want" Noor wiped away her tears, asking. 。
"Map" 。"Fang Yu stood up and replied, "I need a map, the larger the range the better." 。"A map" Norling frowned, asking, "What do you want it for" "Just get it for me. You don't need to know what I want it for." 。Fang Yu said, “Your City Lord’s Mansion is so big, don’t tell me you don’t even have a map.” 。"I, I might have it in my father's study, but I don't know exactly where..." Norling replied. 。Then go find it quickly, I'll be waiting here. 。"Fang Yu said slowly, “If I can't get the map, don't blame me…”
“I’m going to find it now.” 。Noling bit her lip and turned to leave. 。After taking two steps, she turned back to Fang Yu and said, “You just stay here sitting down. Don’t run around!”
"Okay, I'll just sleep here for a while," 。"Fang Yu said" 。
After that, he lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes. 。Noling hesitated, biting her lip, then turned and left. 。After about half an hour, No Ling hurried back. 。Fan Yu opened his eyes and sat up, looking at Nuo Ling. 。However, NoLing had no map in her hands. 。。"Nu Ling said anxiously," 。
Fang Yu frowned slightly. 。"It's almost time for Father to be back. You should leave the City Lord's Mansion first, and then I'll ask Father where the map is. Once I get it, I'll give it to you, okay" No Ling said. 。
Fang Yu thought for a moment, but did not respond. 。"I beg you, I swear on my life, I will never deceive you, and I will definitely hand over the map to you. " 。“Noling was about to cry,” 。"Well, I can believe you, but if you don't follow through on your promise…" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. 。"I'll definitely get the map!" Norling assured once more. 。
Fang Yu no longer said much. 。I'll take you out. 。"Nolan said again" 。
Fang Yu nodded 。Then Fang Yu followed Nuo Ling closely and quickly walked towards the gate. 。Along the way, there were many guards, but they ignored Fang Yu and Nuo Ling as if they didn't see them and didn't make a sound. 。The two walked quickly to the front door. 。 。A figure stepped out of the palanquin, escorted by a group of black-armored soldiers toward the main gate. 。
"Father, Father..." No Ling's face immediately changed 。
"Ling'er" 。The man was clad in fine robes, and on his chest bore a mark identical to the protruding stone statue atop the city gate. 。It's obvious that this gray-skinned, gray-eyed male Shadowman is the city's lord. 。It is very possible that he is also a son or trusted confidant of the Bone-Eater King. 。At this moment, the city lord is walking towards Noling and Fang Yu. 。One could clearly feel an aura of majesty emanating from the mayor. 。But the true aura of his cultivation seemed to be deliberately suppressed, making it impossible to discern. 。"This must be today's victor, then" The city lord looked at Fang Yu and asked. 。"Father, why are you up so early today..." Noling looked up at the City Lord, biting her lip and asking. 。"I heard that today's victor defeated dozens of opponents single-handedly, and swiftly returned home. Before he could be driven out, I would like to see him…" The city lord smiled faintly. 。As soon as those words were uttered, Nuo Ling's face changed once more. She lowered her head. 。From this, one can hear that her father is completely aware of everything she has done before... He just never made it explicit. 。But...
Noling's face flickered, unable to speak.
"You didn't leave your name at the registration desk, so can you tell me your name now" The city lord looked at Fang Yu and asked. 。
"Dong Xiaoqiang" 。"Fang Yu replied," 。"Dong Xiaoqiang" The city lord frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He patted Fang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Come, let's go inside and sit down. I have something to talk to you about." 。Fang Yu glanced at Nuo Ling, whose face was pale and vacant, clearly having lost her ability to think. 。After some thought, Fang Yu didn't refuse and followed the City Lord back into the City Lord's Mansion. 。The city lord brought Fang Yu and Nuo Ling to the main hall of his mansion. 。The Lord Mayor sat upon his high throne and gestured for Fang Yu and Nuo Ling to sit down in succession. 。"Ling'er, you used all sorts of tricks to drive away many visitors earlier. You know why I didn't stop you" The city lord looked at Nuo Ling and asked with a smile. 。Norling's face was pale, she shook her head. 。Because those winners, either are frightened by your paltry little tricks or judge people by their appearance... naturally they cannot enter my line of sight. 。The city lord said faintly. 。 “All your actions are your own choices.”"This is what that person thinks, they don't want to force you to do anything, everything is up to you to decide."Upon hearing this, Fang Yu remembered what hi...
