The footsteps got closer and closer, she could faintly see the crowd in front of her. There were at least dozens of civilians left in River City that day, and looking at the black mass of people, Luo Liya counted in her heart, there were indeed dozens of people.

The masked men brought the commoners closer. Their speed was very fast, the commoners were dragged forward with their hands tied, their faces were full of fear and panic. Seeing this scene, Luo Yan's face became very ugly.

He didn't know how to reply, but when the civilians were all caught in front of him, he turned his head with satisfaction, "Alright, can you give me the antidote now?"

"Untie them first." Luo Yan solemnly said.

Luo Liya was stunned, then ordered the masked men to untie the citizens of River City. She was surprised that he was so obedient.

"Lea, give him the antidote." Luo Yan did not know, and ordered Luo Liya.

"Father …"

"Give it to him."

Luo Liya was worried that she would go back on her word if she didn't find out about the medicine. Just like last time when he clearly said that if she fought with him, he would save Wu Kong and the others, but he didn't keep his word. He was a complete hypocrite.

Luo Liya took out her bag, from it she took out a bag of crushed petals, "This is half, when you release those commoners, I'll give you the other half."

She was still a bit worried, so she decided to do this, but Luo Yan didn't stop her. She took the medicine bag from her hands and didn't disagree. She just waved her hand and said in a deep voice, "Release them."

When the citizens of River City saw the mayor, Fu Quan, and the military overseer, Luo Yan, they were immediately brimming with joy. The corners of their eyes were filled with indescribable happiness, they originally thought that after they were captured by the Fire Nation, they would definitely lose their lives, never would they have imagined that there would be a day when they were rescued, they excitedly ran towards that direction.

Fu Quan and Fu Dongming were maintaining order over there. Unbeknownst to them, they turned to Luo Liya and asked, "Now that I've already released them, what about the other half of the antidote?"

Luo Liya stared at Yan Ziyun with a completely different expression. Since he was so easy to talk to, she was a little afraid that he would set another trap. If she gave him the antidote, would he use his trump card to eliminate them all in one fell swoop?

But then thinking that he had already been poisoned by the Void Gu and had been temporarily sealed with zhen qi just like Luo Yan, he felt more at ease. No wonder he was so obedient, it was because he was worried that they would take advantage of his lack of zhen qi to attack him.

He thought they were as bad as he was!

Luo Liya threw the leftover medicine bag to Yan Mo. After he caught it, he immediately jumped on his horse and left hurriedly with the help of the masked men. Wukong originally wanted to chase up to them, but was stopped by Luo Liya.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Right now, he can do anything for the sake of living. When the time comes, it wouldn't be worth harming us."

When Wu Kong heard Luo Liya's words, he immediately quieted down and helped Luo Liya deliver the antidote to the commoners, telling them to go home and boil the medicine.

As they were busy, Luo Yan stood on top of a boulder on the side of the street and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, rest assured, you are safe now, so the most important thing for you all to do is to rebuild Jiangcheng. As Jiangcheng is located between the Fire Nation and the Blue Water Nation, it is a place where all the troops must fight for it, and it used to be a flourishing place, but recently, it has been hurt by the chaos of the Void Gu, and now, it has been in disarray.

"Good!" We will listen to the Lord Commander! The Lord Commander and Miss Luo Si saved our lives, and we are willing to do anything! "

"That's right, what the military governor and Miss Luo Si say!"

Luo Liya didn't know why they listened to her words. It was obvious that the greatest credit came from the wall. Without him, they wouldn't have been able to find an antidote, but the wall didn't seem to want to show itself.

Wei Xi looked at Luo Liya with a smile and nodded. Then, his gaze shifted to Wukong, who was sending out antidotes to the common people. He approached Luo Liya with large strides and patted his shoulder.

Wu Kong immediately turned his head over. He was a little surprised at first, but soon a smile blossomed on his face. "Wei Xi, what's wrong?"

"Nothing important, but can I have a word with you?"

Wu Kong saw the smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with anticipation. Thus, he nodded his head and passed the antidote to Zi Ruo before following her to the corner of the street where there were fewer people.

"What is it?" Wu Kong asked, rubbing his head. Finally, he closed his eyes. He could roughly guess Wu Kong's identity, but now was not the time to reveal his identity.

"Wu Kong, if you get angry you'll turn into a giant ape. Do you know about this?"

"I know. My sister also told me to try not to let anyone else know so that I wouldn't be taken advantage of. "

"Your sister is right. You have to learn how to control this ability, and you absolutely cannot let …" Upon saying that, Wall Xi paused for a moment before continuing under Wu Kong's surprised gaze, "You absolutely cannot let Fire Worm Nation's Soldier East Li Zhen know about this. Do you understand?"

"Why …"

"Don't ask me why. This is a secret that cannot be told. If you know about it, it will definitely bring about a disaster that will kill you. So, I cannot tell you about it. Do you understand?"

"Probably... "I think I understand now …" Wu Kong continued to rub his head and pursed his lips. There was confusion in his eyes.

"I'll teach you a mental cultivation method. Whenever you get angry and feel like you can't control yourself, remember this mental cultivation method. Then, you'll be able to control it." Wu Kong's level was not high yet, so if Dong Li Zhen wanted to kill him, it would be like killing an ant. He had to level up as fast as possible and become stronger before he was discovered by Dong Li Zhen.

When Wu Kong heard this, he nodded his head in excitement. With the method of the wall, he could control his abilities as he wished. Just thinking about it made him happy, and it wouldn't bother Luo Liya anymore.

If this was in the past, Wu Kong would definitely need a long time to remember, but this time, he did not know why. He only needed to remember the mental cultivation method once, and he would be completely familiar with it, as if the mental cultivation method had already taken root in his life and had only been snatched away by someone at some point in time.

However, Wu Kong thought that these were all just his illusions.

"Do you remember?" Wei Xi asked.

"I'll remember!" "Thank you, wall." Wu Kong's eyes were filled with heartfelt gratitude. Wei Xi only smiled. I am just atoning for my sins.

As the two of them stood there speechlessly, Luo Liya had already come over. Seeing the two of them, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you two doing here?"

"Oh, Wei Xi just taught me …" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xi Men, "I just taught him some ways to summon Zhen Qi. Wu Kong is a genius, I couldn't help but want to give him some pointers."

Wu Kong did not deny his words when he heard his answer. He just stood there with a smile on his face.

"So it's like that." Luo Liya wasn't too concerned about this. Right now, she was concerned about something else: "Wei Xi, do you want to come with us to the Royal Academy to study?"

Hearing this, Wei Xi was stunned, but soon shook his head, "I'm just a person who has nothing to do with life outside the mountains. I'm already used to it and can't bear the restraints. Besides, I have no interest in training."

Although Luo Liya had long predicted that Xi'er would refuse, she still felt a little regretful. Xi Lin's wish was the same as theirs. If they could become good friends, how good would that be?

"Besides, looking at my current state, I'm afraid I'll be seen as a monster." Wei Xi stretched out his hand to stroke his white hair as he looked into the distance. Previously, the people of River City had thought this way. Even now, they were still afraid of him.

Luo Liya could not help but sigh, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I know I shouldn't force you, but …" Wei Xi, I really want you to stay, we... Will we meet again? "

"If it's fated, of course it is." "I'm honored to be able to meet a group of friends like you."

Luo Liya shrugged her shoulders. This Lou Xi always liked to make fun of others with words that came along with fate, but she felt that what he said was true. He was like a man who saw the world through the ages, calmly watching the changes in the world.

"Fine." "But you must get drunk with us tonight, and then we can talk about leaving, okay?"

"That's right!" "We've been traveling for so many days. Tomorrow is the first day of the first month. We must spend this night in peace!" Wu Kong also took over Luo Liya's words as he spoke, his face brimming with anticipation and yearning.

Seeing that they had already said this much, Xu Xi clasped her hands as well: "It's better to obey than to be respectful."

Luo Li Ya's and Wu Kong's eyes immediately lit up. Seeing their expressions, Xu Xi's eyes couldn't help but curl up.

After distributing the antidote, the commoners returned to their homes. Fu Quan and Fu Dongming also brought their families back to the City Lord's Mansion. There were still many things waiting for them to do. Luo Liya, Wu Kong, Zi Ruo, Yue Ling, Luo Xi, Luo Lei and Luo Yan brought the family members to the Luo Mansion.

After returning to the Luo Mansion, they started to pack up. After two days of dispiritedness, the entire place no longer had the liveliness and vitality it once had. However, they still gave it a simple arrangement.

When they thought back to that day, they had originally planned to stroll around the streets, buy new year goods, and put out lanterns. However, they did not expect that an unexpected calamity would suddenly befall them, causing them to spend two days and two nights in the cave.

When Luo Yan returned to the Luo Mansion, Luo Liya and Luo Lei invited her back to her room to rest. They said that the rest of the matters would be left to them.

Hanging lanterns, pasting couplets and gate gods, cleaning the courtyard, for a moment, everyone was busy in full swing. They were about to bid farewell to their old age and usher in a new year.

In the past, when they were in the modern world, Luo Liya had never had any interest in the New Year. In the past, in the past, Luo Liya had never had any interest in the New Year.

Looking at the busy crowd, she finally felt the warmth she had never felt before.

With family and friends, it would be great if this moment could last forever.

Luo Liya was amazed by his culinary skills. She never knew that her second brother had such superb culinary skills, drinking wine and eating New Year's dinner. Even the usually stern Luo Yan could not help but curl the corner of her mouth with a warm smile on her face.

The wine and cups intertwined. Tomorrow might be another day, but so what? As long as they had that peaceful heart.
