Chapter 73: Past Events

"Brother Shangguan, how is the situation now?" After Shangguan Luo introduced everyone, Wu Zhan Tian asked.

"Now Number Ten has retreated thirty miles, Number Nine wanted to assassinate me but was discovered and stopped by Little Brother Zhuge. Now she should still be in the city wanting to escape. Number Ten asked us to hand over Number Nine after half an hour, otherwise he would attack Luo Xiangcheng." Shangguan Luo briefly introduced the current situation.

"Then what do you mean?" Wu Zhan Tian continued to ask.

"I want to do something big. Brother Wu, do you remember the method we used to deal with the Leinuo Beast when we explored the Leinuo Mystic Realm together back then?" Shangguan Luo said.

"Good, let's use this. Since you want this method, it means you are already prepared." Wu Zhan Tian already knew Shangguan Luo's idea. "Then should we start now?" Wu Zhan Tian continued to say.

"Not in a hurry now. We haven't been together for so many years. Now we should drink and have fun." Shangguan Luo said.

"Good, we won't return until we are drunk tonight." Wu Zhan Tian said.

In the dense forest outside Luo Xiangcheng...

"Why did the assassination fail?" Number Ten said to Number Nine who had just escaped.

"Discovered by that young Mind User named Zhuge Tianxin, the Bird King and Ape King were killed by him." Number Nine replied.

"It seems I need to find more magical beasts to attack Luo Xiangcheng." Number Ten still did not give up the plan to attack the city.

"Now we can't attack the city. Shangguan Luo called seven people from somewhere, all of them are Mind Users, one of them is a High-Rank Warrior, and the rest are all Mid-Rank. Let's retreat first and then discuss it in the long run." Number Nine said.

"Hmm...? Forget it, let's go back." Number Ten thought for a while and finally decided to retreat.

Luo Xiangcheng, City Lord's Mansion.

"Come, everyone, drink this cup." Shangguan Luo stood up holding the cup and said loudly to Wu Zhan Tian, Musa, and Xiao Yu at the wine table. After speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp, and the others also drank the wine in their hands in one gulp.

"Hahahaha, good wine, it seems that Brother Shangguan has not been a City Lord for so many years in vain, at least he can collect such good wine." Wu Zhan Tian said loudly after drinking the wine.

"Brother Wu, don't be greedy for the cup and forget the big things, Brother Shangguan hasn't explained the things yet." Musa, who also finished the wine in his hand, said.

"Yes, Brother Shangguan and Sister Xiang haven't explained why they secretly left us back then?" Xiao Yu also said.

"Yes, why did you two secretly leave us back then?" Speaking of this, Wu Zhan Tian was also a bit angry.

"This is all because of me." Just when Wu Zhan Tian and others were questioning Shangguan Luo, a middle-aged woman walked out of the room. And this woman was extremely similar to Nangong Miss Mengli, but she was a bit older than Nangong Miss Mengli.

"Sister Xiang, is it really you?" Except for Shangguan Luo, everyone at the wine table turned their heads after hearing the voice of the woman walking out, and then Xiao Yu said very surprised, then threw away her chair and ran to the woman to observe carefully. Listening to this tone, Xiao Yu had confirmed that the person who came was Duanmu Xiang.

"Xiao Yu, it's been so many years, you still haven't changed, still so impulsive." Duanmu Xiang said after seeing Xiao Yu's actions.

"Xiang'er, sit down and talk." Shangguan Luo said.

Duanmu Xiang and Xiao Yu sat down at their seats after Shangguan Luo said so.

"Back then, Brother Luo left you because of me." After sitting down, Duanmu Xiang said first. "At that time, I was a bit tired of life in the outside world and wanted to find a place with no one with Brother Luo to spend the rest of my life, so I asked Brother Luo to secretly leave you with me and came here. At that time, this place was not called Luo Xiangcheng, but Taoyuan Village, just a small village. We originally wanted to spend the rest of our lives here, but we were discovered by the Kingdom Organization that we had the key to the Zhuque Realm, so we were targeted. In order to get the key to the Zhuque Realm, they killed their way into Taoyuan Village and killed most of the villagers. And Brother Luo helped Taoyuan Village defeat the Kingdom Organization and was elected as the City Lord of the newly built Taoyuan City. But later, because of my mistake, I provided information to the Kingdom Organization, and the reason you should already know, the entire Luo Xiangcheng is singing the deeds of Brother Luo." When Duanmu Xiang talked about why she provided information to the Kingdom Organization, she didn't want to say much, after all, the reason for the matter is known to the entire Luo Xiangcheng.

"What happened later? Why did Brother Shangguan and Sister Xiang change their names and even hide their appearances?" Xiao Yu asked after seeing Duanmu Xiang not continue.

"Back then, because of the information I provided, Taoyuan City was broken. Brother Luo had no choice but to pretend to kill me, and he was also seriously injured in the melee. At that time, Brother Luo wanted to take me away from here after the war ended and find a place where no one knew us to live in seclusion. But he was discovered by the Hunter Association who came to support Taoyuan City. Because I provided information to the Kingdom Organization, which led to the breaking of Taoyuan City, the Hunter Association wanted to execute me. Brother Luo had no choice but to reach an agreement with the Hunter Association. The Hunter Association let me go, but planted a curse on me to prevent me from providing information to the Kingdom Organization again. At the same time, Brother Luo must continue to guard the newly built Luo Xiangcheng under the name of Nangong Zhan and continue to fight the Kingdom Organization, and I also assist Brother Luo in managing Luo Xiangcheng as Brother Luo's deputy."

"So that's how it is, sigh..., things are impermanent. When the five of us were exploring various mystic realms together, how carefree we were, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." After hearing Duanmu Xiang talk about what happened back then, Wu Zhan Tian couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, now thinking about it, I still feel that those things happened yesterday, but decades have passed in a flash." Musa also sighed.

"By the way, what about Miss Mengli? Is Miss Mengli your child? She looks almost exactly the same as Sister Xiang." Just when everyone was sighing, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of Nangong Miss Mengli.

"Miss Mengli is the daughter of Xiang'er and me. But in order to protect her and not let the Kingdom Organization hurt her because of us, I can only claim to the outside world that she is my adopted daughter. I also didn't tell her that we are her parents. She still thinks I am her adopted father, and doesn't even know the existence of her mother, Xiang'er. It's also hard for Miss Mengli." Xiao Yu asked about Nangong Miss Mengli, Shangguan Luo replied, and his words were full of guilt for Nangong Miss Mengli.

And Duanmu Xiang, who was sitting on the side, also had a face full of guilt.

"Sigh..., don't talk about these, things have passed. Today is the day we meet again after a long time, everyone should be happy, come and continue drinking." Wu Zhan Tian saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, Brother Shangguan, when will we deal with Number Ten and Number Nine?" At this time, Musa asked. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
