Chapter 111: Asking For Help
Take them away, and kill anyone who resists. Iron Head waved his big hand and shouted.
Faced with Iron Heads extreme toughness, the ten or so Lion Tribe people did not dare to move, and were obediently taken out of the market.
Liya looked at Iron Heads imposing figure with shining eyes, and suddenly said firmly to her father Tim, Father, I want him to be my man.
Tim was stunned. This doesnt sound reliable.
Human and dwarf aesthetics are completely different. For dwarves, the strong and robust Liya is like a goddess, but human men generally prefer tall and delicate-featured women.
Some people who gathered around heard Liyas words and burst into laughter.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
What are you laughing at? Hes my hero, and Im determined to make him my man. Liya turned her head and glared at the person who was laughing.
Liya, do you know who that bald military officer was just now? Thats the City Lords confidant, Iron Head, the commander-in-chief. Last time when the Orcs attacked the city, I had the honor of seeing his bravery. This West Spirit City is full of beautiful women. Im not trying to bring you down, but he wont be interested in you. The middle-aged man from a nearby shop spoke up.
Liya snorted, swung her iron hammer a few times, and turned to leave.
In her heart, Iron Head was already within her grasp.
Poor Iron Head had no idea that he had caught the eye of a fierce dwarf girl. If he had known, he might have regretted personally coming to patrol.
Under the gaze of the handsome youth sitting casually opposite him, the burly Kero slightly bent over, feeling the eyes cutting through him like two knives. The invisible pressure rendered him unable to breathe.
Kero, what is your opinion on the people from your tribe acting tyrannically in West Hill Town? Qi Bei sipped his tea and casually asked.
City Lord, this is definitely a shame for my Lion Tribe. As the leader of the Lion Tribe, Kero is extremely ashamed. I never expected them to cause trouble under my banner. Please punish them severely, my lord. Kero replied.
Kero, I acknowledge your integrity. I truly believe that you were unaware of this situation. Nevertheless, I request that you banish those individuals from your tribe and ensure they never set foot in West Spirit City again, Qi Bei stated in a calm manner.
Kero trembled all over. According to the rules of the West Spirit City, those people from his tribe would only receive a few lashes and a fine of some gold coins at most. It shouldnt have been such a severe punishment. Could it be that the City Lord was actually punishing him on purpose?
I will accept whatever punishment the City Lord decides, Kero gritted his teeth.
Trust takes time to build, and it takes one or two things to see through a person, Qi Bei replied.
You gave this task to Kero as a test, didnt you? Huan Ying asked.
Well, dont you trust him? Qi Bei heard something in Huan Yings tone.
I dont trust anyone except you and Big Brother. Although Kero was once my fathers subordinate, I always feel like hes hiding something, Huan Ying said.
Qi Bei patted Huan Yings soft hand. Everyone has secrets, and as long as the hidden information doesnt pose a threat to him or his people, he wont inquire.
Just then, Lone Eye hurried in and said, City Lord, the two disciples from the Beast Manor are back, saying they have urgent matters to see you.
Two of them? Qi Bei felt something was wrong. The two disciples from the Beast Manor had returned, but Xiao Jiu had not. It seemed that something had indeed happened.
Soon, the disciples Dia and Xiao Li from the Beast Manor arrived. They looked somewhat disheveled and anxious.
What happened? Qi Bei asked in a deep voice.
City Lord, please save our senior sister. She and your guard Xiao Jiu fell into the bottom of a cliff in the Savage Wastelands, Xiao Li said with a crying voice.
A cliff
Qi Bei was stunned for a moment. As long as Xiao Jiu was conscious, with her strength as an earth-attribute King-grade mage and a wind-attribute Senior mage, it shouldnt be too dangerous.
But theres something strange about the cliff. Its deep and unfathomable. Dia and I tried to climb down the cliff, but we couldnt reach the bottom, Xiao Li said.
Then we waited on the cliff for three days, but Senior Sister and Xiao Jiu never came up again, Dia added, looking panicked.
The Savage Wastelands was full of dangers. When they went in, Yan Fangfei and Xiao Jiu were with them and they managed to avoid many dangers. However, when they decided to return for help, they almost couldnt make it out alive from the mouths of some monsters and fierce beasts.
Thinking of Xiao Jiu in danger, Qi Bei couldnt help but feel anxious, but he didnt show it on his face.
Have you asked for help from the Beast Manor? Qi Bei asked, not mentioning Xiao Jiu. If a core disciple of one of the five Holy Lands was in danger, the experts of the Holy Land would not remain indifferent, right?
We have asked for help from our sect, but the Beast Manor is far away. The help may come too late. So, City Lord, please help our Senior Sister. Please consider it as Xiao Lis request, Xiao Lis eyes were filled with tears, and she didnt mention Xiao Jiu. Perhaps instinctively, she felt that Qi Bei wouldnt care too much about the life of a bodyguard and wouldnt take risks for him.
