Chapter 8

Lin Zhenhua kept a low profile.

Most people had only heard of his title, and very few had seen him in person.

The City Lord would never have thought that such a big shot would actually visit the small Spring City today!

The official background of a City Lord!

It was worthless in front of the big shot who ranked on the Heaven List!

Ordinary experts might think it over before making a move, but big shots ranked on the Heaven List did not need to.

They represented the officials of their respective countries and held all kinds of privileges!

One of their privileges was that if some of them killed someone for a reason, they would not have to take responsibility for it!

The two unlucky fellows on the ground had snatched the scroll of the big shot’s daughter. They deserved to die.

The City Lord’s expression was bitter.

He thought to himself, “What is this big shot playing at?

“He’s already about an old man, yet he’s still playing the same pretentious tricks as the young people!

“Is it funny?”

“Uncle Lin, you’re so cool!” Xu Yuan suddenly clapped and said seriously, “You’re cooler than in front of auntie.”

Lin Zhenhua’s face darkened at first, but then he laughed and scolded, “You little brat…”

The conversation between the two of them seemed to be a harmless joke, but it was very clear about the depth of their relationship.

The City Lord instantly understood.

He realized that the big shot was not trying to act cool.

But he was paving the way for his juniors!

This young man named Xu Yuan was the cause of today’s trouble.

His unique role skills would inevitably attract malicious prying eyes from many parties. Even the City Lord himself had an unspeakable thought just now.

Once the young man’s special ability was exposed, he would fall into endless trouble.

Xu Yuan had just awakened his role and was too weak to resist the malice from all directions.

Even though Lin Zhenhua had intimidated most of the people present with his invincibility, it was still inevitable for the ones to spy on Xu Yuan secretly.

After all.

Lin Zhenhua couldn’t stay by his side forever.

Lin Zhenhua needed to find someone else to endorse him.

Killing the two experts just now in a lightning-fast manner was only Lin Zhenhua’s first step.

After that, he only needed to wait for the other party to take the bait.

And the other party was…

The City Lord looked at the smiling Lin Zhenhua with some lingering fear.

He knew that from today onwards, if anything happened to Xu Yuan in Spring City, regardless of the reason, Lin Zhenhua would only blame him!

The City Lord, who was full of scheming thoughts, suddenly realized that he had inexplicably become a sucker!

Lin Zhenhua didn’t even need to deliberately say the words “please take care of my nephew” to the City Lord.

“Guild Leader Yin Yue, you came here just for them?” Lin Zhenhua pointed at the two dead bodies on the ground.

The depressed City Lord suddenly felt comfortable.

The unlucky Guild Leader, Yin Yue, had also become a sucker. Yin Yue Guild’s sphere of influence was also within Spring City.

“Of course not!” Yin Yue hurriedly shook his head. “The two are reckless. They even dared to snatch your daughter’s scroll. You’re the most suitable person to teach them a lesson…”

The people around were speechless.

As people of Spring City, they had seen the arrogance emanating from Yin Yue many times.

They only realized today that…

Yin Yue was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong!

“I’ve come mainly to apologize to your daughter and this young man.” Yin Yue was indeed a character who was flexible.

“But a verbal apology will inevitably appear insincere,” he said.

Yin Yue rummaged through his robes and pulled out two stones that were emitting a strange light.

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

They were… Key Stones, the small secret realms!

Secret realms were a resource that all role-changers, the people who had awakened their roles, desperately needed. It could provide experience points, equipment, and even Skill Scrolls.

Most of the large secret realms were controlled by national forces. If one wanted to explore the large secret realms, one had to go through a series of complicated procedures.

Other than that, there were also some small secret realms.

For example, the two Key Stones that Yin Yue was holding were both small secret realms.

Holding them would allow one to enter small secret realms. After clearing the level, one would receive generous rewards and experience points.

Small secret realms were controlled by individuals or certain forces.

Yin Yue Guild was powerful and rich. It was not surprising that they had the resources of secret realms.

“I want to gift these two Key Stones to your daughter and this…” Yin Yue was stumped for a moment before smiling ingratiatingly.

His attitude was very humble-He had to be humble. Indeed, he could not afford to offend the big shot who was ranked on the Heaven List.

He sent his subordinates to snatch the Skill Scroll, and he deserved to take the blame first. If the big shot really wanted to hold him accountable, he would suffer!

“Guild Leader Yin Yue, you’re too polite. My name is Xu Yuan.” Xu Yuan couldn’t be angry with the smiling Yin Yue. He smiled back at Yin Yue and introduced himself briefly.

“The two of them have just successfully awakened their roles. They might not be able to completely explore the secret realm.” Lin Zhenhua said lightly.

The rewards for completing the exploration of the secret realm were attractive enough.

But at the same time, danger lurked everywhere!

Lin Mucheng and Xu Yuan were only newbies at the moment. If they were to enter the secret realm, the chances of them encountering danger were too high.

It would be fine for Lin Mucheng.

Because she had awakened two roles, she still had some combat power.

Xu Yuan was not in a combat-type role, so his combat power was probably negligible.

“Uh…” Yin Yue looked embarrassed, but he quickly thought of a good idea. “If you don’t mind, I can get the guild members to protect them throughout the exploration of the secret realm!”

“Hiss-”

The onlookers gasped.

This… was a one-stop service?

Not only did Yin Yue Guild provide the secret realm Key Stones, but they would also send a group of guild members to protect them?

Everyone was envious.

They looked at Xu Yuan in the middle of the crowd. The envy in their hearts instantly turned into jealousy for Xu Yuan.

The people who had previously mocked Xu Yuan to awaken his role to a special role felt like crying at this moment.

A useless role?

Sorry!

They spoke too loudly just now, and they were too short-sighted!

Everyone present only wanted to rush over and lick Xu Yuan’s shoes.

“This… Is it appropriate?” Xu Yuan said, “It’s troublesome.”

Everyone almost suffocated.

They couldn’t understand why Xu Yuan refused such a good offer.

If not for the fact that there were too many big shots present, they would have cursed Xu Yuan out loud.

“Moreover…” Xu Yuan suddenly turned to the restless City Lord and said with an embarrassed expression, “I still have to go to the City Lord’s Mansion with the City Lord to explain some things…”

The City Lord’s fat head was about to explode.

Even Yin Yue, the Guild Leader of the dead people, didn’t dare to say anything about their death. How could he dare to get involved?

The City Lord raised his head with a bitter face. A hint of craftiness flashed across Xu Yuan’s eyes, which was keenly captured by him.

The City Lord could not help but grit his teeth in hatred.

This brat.

This brat was so vindictive!

The City Lod had just sent someone to arrest him, and he still bore a grudge!

However, even though the City Lod cursed Xu Yuan a thousand times in his heart, he could only put on a kind smile.

“Misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding just now.” The City Lord smiled apologetically and said, “I have already figured everything out…”

The City Lord’s face was almost frozen from smiling. From time to time, he turned his gaze to steal a glance at Lin Zhenhua and realized that Lin Zhenhua was also staring at him at this moment.

He felt a chill down his spine and said embarrassedly, “It is inappropriate for us to talk here. Why don’t you all follow me to the City Lord’s Mansion…”

The City Lord knew…

He knew that if he didn’t take the initiative to give Lin Zhenhua an explanation today, it would probably be very difficult to end this.
