Chapter 706 Kyushu
. He originally thought that Luo Dan simply gave him a task, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated. Now, he not only has to deal with those people from the big sects, but also has to take care of Luo Dan's clone.
"Alas, what should I do?" Pei Sheng sighed helplessly. He felt as if he was caught in a huge whirlpool and couldn't extricate himself.
However, complaining is complaining, Pei Sheng is a smart man after all. He knew that since Luo Dan gave him such an important task, he must go all out to complete it. So, he took a deep breath and began to discuss with Luo Dan's clone how to deal with those people from the big sects.
At this time, Luo Dan had quietly come to the depths of the City Lord's Mansion. He knew in his heart that this mission was full of unknowns and dangers, but he also understood that only by facing it personally could he find the answer to solve the problem. So he strengthened his belief and strode towards the goal.
Pei Sheng's response and the doubts of the sect
Pei Sheng stood at the door of the secret room, staring at Luo Dan's gradually receding back, with both worry and expectation in his heart. He knew that Luo Dan would face many unknowns and challenges when he went to the City Lord's Mansion, but he also believed that since Luo Dan decided to do this, he must have his reasons and confidence.
Just as Pei Sheng was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly, a rapid and powerful knock on the door broke the silence of the secret room. This sound was like thunder, which instantly awakened Pei Sheng from his meditation. He frowned and muttered to himself: "Who would it be at this time?"
With a hint of doubt, Pei Sheng slowly walked to the door, his hand gently resting on the door handle, but did not open it immediately. He peeked out through the crack in the door and saw several figures standing outside the door, dressed gorgeously and with extraordinary momentum. They were obviously family members from several large sects.
Pei Sheng's heart tightened. He knew that these people from the sect came here at this time, which must be for Luo Dan's business. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then suddenly opened the door, ready to meet this sudden "storm".
As soon as the door opened, several people from the sect rushed in impatiently, their faces full of anxiety and expectation. However, when they saw that it was only Pei Sheng standing at the door, their expressions instantly became complicated.
"Pei Sheng, where is Lord Luo Dan? We have something to find him!" One of the people from the sect said anxiously, with a hint of dissatisfaction and urging in his tone.
Pei Sheng was a little flustered when he saw this, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient. Lord Luo Dan is dealing with some important matters at the moment and cannot meet you in person. However, please rest assured that he has gone to solve the problem for you. Just believe us on this point!"
As soon as Pei Sheng finished speaking, several people from the sect looked at each other, obviously doubting Pei Sheng's words. They came here to seek Luo Dan's help. Now that Luo Dan is not here, they naturally feel a little lost and uneasy.
"Pei Sheng, are you sure Lord Luo Dan will solve it for us? We can't wait!" Another person from another sect said anxiously, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Pei Sheng looked at the anxious expressions of the crowd and thought secretly in his heart. He knew that he had to give them a clear answer at this time to stabilize their emotions. So, he took a deep breath and said firmly: "Please rest assured, Lord Luo Dan has promised to solve it for you, and he will definitely do what he said. During this period of time, you will stay here first, and when Lord Luo Dan comes back, everything will be clear."
Pei Sheng's words made the people from several sects feel a little relieved. Although they were still a little worried, since Pei Sheng said so, they could only choose to believe it. So, they nodded in agreement and decided to stay in the City Lord's Mansion first and wait for Luo Dan's return.
Pei Sheng looked at everyone who finally settled down, and he was relieved. He knew that this was only a temporary calm, and the real challenge was still behind. But he also believed that as long as Luo Dan could solve the problem smoothly, everything would be fine.
Pei Sheng's comfort and the anxiety of the sect
——————————
Pei Sheng stood in the secret room, facing several people from the sect. His tone was calm and firm, and every word seemed to carry an indescribable power. However, as his voice fell, the faces of several people from the sect showed more and more puzzled expressions.
"Why? Pei Sheng, didn't you agree to go to the spirit world? Why at this critical moment, you let us wait here? Isn't this dragging your feet?" One of the people from the sect couldn't help but question, with a hint of urgency and dissatisfaction in his voice.
Another person from another sect also echoed, "Yes, Pei Sheng, we are here for the spiritual world. If we delay any longer, what if the situation gets worse?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Pei Sheng did not panic. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Don't worry, things are not as simple as you think. Lord Luo Dan is dealing with some more important things at this time. He asked us to wait here to avoid alerting the enemy and causing unnecessary trouble."
Pei Sheng's words calmed down the people from several sects, but the doubts and anxiety on their faces did not completely dissipate. They knew that Luo Dan was the key to this operation. Without him, it would be difficult for them to achieve the desired results in the spiritual world.
"But, Pei Sheng, we can't just wait like this, right?" A person from the sect couldn't help but speak again, his tone full of helplessness and anxiety.
Pei Sheng glanced at him and thought to himself. He knew that he had to give them a clear answer at this time to completely stabilize their emotions. So he slowly said: "Don't worry, Lord Luodan will be back soon. During this time, we can discuss countermeasures and make full preparations. When Lord Luodan comes back, we can act immediately."
Pei Sheng's words made several people from the sect feel a little relieved. They began to sit together and discuss things in the spirit world. However, although they were discussing it, they were secretly waiting for Luodan's return in their hearts.
Pei Sheng looked at the busy figures of the crowd, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew that Luodan was facing a huge challenge at this time, and all he could do was to delay time as much as possible and wait for Luodan's return. However, as time went on, Pei Sheng's anxiety became more and more serious. He began to worry whether Luodan could solve the problem smoothly and whether he could come back in time.
"Lord Luodan, when will you come back?" Pei Sheng prayed in his heart, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and expectation. He knew that only when Luodan came back could the problem at hand be truly solved, and only then could they smoothly go to the spirit world and complete their mission.
However, at this time, Luodan was in the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, having intense negotiations with a mysterious figure. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and he also knew that Pei Sheng and the people of the sect were waiting for him. But he knew even more that only by solving the problem at hand could they ensure the smooth progress of their actions. Therefore, he could only temporarily put aside his worries about Pei Sheng and the people of the sect and devote himself to the negotiations.
The City Lord Waits for Luodan's Sudden Appearance
——————————
At this moment, the atmosphere in the corridor of the City Lord's Mansion seemed extremely solemn. The City Lord stood at the door of Luodan's resting room, waiting anxiously. His eyes stayed on the door from time to time, and then looked into the distance, as if he was expecting something. The guards around them also held their breath and didn't dare to breathe. They knew that there was an unknown tension in the silence at this moment.
The city lord was full of worries. Luodan's strength far exceeded theirs. He easily concealed his breath, so that they could not detect his specific movements. At this moment, Luodan did not hesitate to block them in front of them, preventing them from entering the room, which made them feel very confused and uneasy.
"Why hasn't the lord come out yet? We have to discuss business with the lord today!" A guard couldn't help but break the silence, his tone full of anxiety and helplessness.
"That's right, lord, are you in there? We really have something urgent to report!" Another guard also echoed, his eyes revealing a trace of worry.
The city lord listened to the guards' words, and his anxiety became even greater. He knew what Luodan's retreat at this moment meant to the entire city lord's mansion. If they couldn't get in touch with Luodan in time, then the next plan might be disrupted.
After struggling for a while, the city lord finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and walked slowly to the door, ready to open the door and check the situation himself. However, just as he was about to touch the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
This sudden change scared the city lord. He subconsciously took a step back, his body trembling slightly. At the same time, the scene in the room also came into his eyes.
I saw Luo Dan standing in the middle of the room, his expression was calm and deep, as if he had just experienced a fierce inner struggle. His eyes revealed firmness and determination, which made people involuntarily feel awe.
"City lord, you are here." Luo Dan's voice was calm and powerful, as if he had already anticipated the arrival of the city lord and the guards.
The city lord looked at Luo Dan in front of him, and the anxiety in his heart instantly dissipated. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Lord Luo Dan, we finally waited for you. We have something to discuss with you."
Luo Dan nodded slightly, motioning the city lord and the guards to enter the room. As the door closed, a discussion about the future fate of the City Lord's Mansion quietly unfolded. In this discussion, Luodan will once again demonstrate his extraordinary wisdom and strength, leading the City Lord and the guards to an unknown tomorrow.
Luodan's questioning and the City Lord's panic
Outside a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion, Luodan stood on a high step, looking down at the City Lord below. His eyes became extremely sharp, as if he could see through the deepest secrets of people's hearts. The City Lord stood below, a little breathless under Luodan's momentum. He looked up at Luodan, his heart full of panic and uneasiness.
"What were you doing just now?" Luodan's voice was calm and low, but with a majesty that could not be ignored. He stared at the City Lord closely, as if he wanted to see through the other's soul.
Upon hearing this, the city lord's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "Sir, I saw that you were not in the room, so out of curiosity I wanted to open it and take a look. I didn't expect that you would come out at this time, it's really... what a coincidence." The city lord's words were trembling, and he was obviously trying to hide his panic.
Lordan listened to the explanation of the city lord, and his expression did not change at all. He slowly raised his right hand and gently hooked his fingers, as if to signal the city lord to come closer. However, just as the city lord took a step and was about to approach Luodan, Luodan suddenly swung his hand back.
"Pah!" A crisp sound echoed in the air. Luodan's palm passed like lightning and hit the city lord's face directly. The city lord only felt a huge force coming, and his body instantly lost balance. The whole person turned in the air like a leaf blown by the wind.
However, at this critical moment, the city lord miraculously stabilized his body. He adjusted his posture in the air, and the next second, he landed steadily on the ground. Although there was still the warmth of Luodan's palm on his face, the city lord did not dare to be negligent. He quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly into Luodan's eyes.
"My lord, I... I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted on my own, please forgive me." The city lord's voice trembled, full of fear and regret. He knew that his behavior this time had angered Luo Dan. If he did not ask for forgiveness as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.
Luo Dan looked at the embarrassed look of the city lord, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. He slowly walked to the city lord, squatted down, and looked at the city lord at eye level. "City lord, you should know that my patience is limited. I don't want it to happen again, understand?" Although Luo Dan's voice was calm, the threat in it could not be ignored.
The city lord nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had understood Luo Dan's meaning. "My lord, I... I understand. I will be careful in the future and never make the same mistake again." After saying that, the city lord kowtowed deeply to express his sincerity and repentance.
Luo Dan looked at the sincere attitude of the city lord, and the anger in his heart finally dissipated completely. He stood up, patted the city lord on the shoulder, and motioned for him to stand up as well. "Okay, City Lord. This matter is over. But you must remember that as the owner of the City Lord's Mansion, every decision you make is related to the safety of the entire City Lord's Mansion. You must think twice before doing anything in the future." Luo Dan's words were full of earnestness, obviously reminding the City Lord to act more cautiously in the future. (End of this chapter)
