"We are delighted to allow you and your... friends... to stay with us, as long as you want to. We have a banquet tonight—perhaps you would like to join us?"
When he saw that the boy was considering, Yan Xiaobao paused for a moment, a faint smile appearing on his face. "It would be my honor, but I must bring my friends. In a new place, they would never allow me to go alone."
Such a request was natural, and the City Lord had already guessed he could not attract the boy solely with a refined cultivation method, so he nodded in agreement. Complex emotions surfaced on his face every time his gaze landed on Sha Yun.
There was a barely veiled arrogance and curious desire. Sha Yun was clearly not an ordinary person, yet the City Lord did not seem to think she was a mystical beast. Perhaps she was a human from another tribe—those people had undergone many transformations over the years.
