Chapter 374
Qin Feng did not ask Lin An why the City Lord wanted to see him, but instead asked Lin An this.
After all, at such a time, why would the City Lord want to see him?
It must be for the Shadow Walker matter.
And Qin Feng guessed that this time, the City Lord should not just be seeing him,
but everyone who participated in the previous incident.
It is very likely that this group of them will be released from the City Lord's Mansion today.
Compared to these things that can be guessed with a casual guess, Lin An's behavior is more abnormal.
It's not that Qin Feng is narcissistic, thinking that Lin An should come to see him every day.
After all, he knows that he and Lin An have no special feelings for each other.
They just think the other is a reliable companion.
It's just that given Lin An's personality,
she is very interested in intelligence.
Regarding the steward's matter, she should have exchanged intelligence with Qin Feng and discussed the next steps as soon as the steward was killed.
But this time, Lin An did not arrive.
This forces Qin Feng to guess whether Lin An encountered some difficulty, or if she wants to do something.
"I've been thinking these past few days, what should I do next?"
"Should I continue living in a muddle like before? I am not reconciled."
"In you, I saw a certain opportunity, an opportunity that is very likely to allow me to break free from this bondage and obtain true freedom."
"But you must know, this is the place where I was born and raised. My life is full of this place."
"To make a choice is very difficult."
"You want to leave here."
Qin Feng naturally understood the unspoken meaning in Lin An's words.
He also understood that making such a choice
was very difficult for Lin An.
Under normal circumstances, women are mostly more homesick.
Plus, she was born here and has lived here for decades.
She is full of feelings and reluctance for every blade of grass and tree here.
And this time, if she follows Qin Feng away to roam the world,
no one knows when she will return.
Not to mention that the world is so big.
Danger is everywhere, and whether she can return is a question.
After all, Lin An leaving here is not for study, not for tourism, not for some other inherent things with certain purposes and locations,
but to seek some truth about the essence of the world.
This is the most difficult thing.
Regardless of gender, people who can be like Qin Feng and Lin An, fearing no difficulties and dangers to seek the truth,
should be rare in this world.
"Yes, I want to leave here."
Lin An answered firmly and crisply, without the slightest hesitation.
"Let's talk about my affairs later. Now Father wants to see you all, others should already be waiting in the courtyard."
Although Qin Feng still had some questions, now was not the time.
After all, there were others waiting, so Qin Feng didn't say anything more, but followed Lin An and the others to meet the City Lord.
Things were resolved, and it took such a short time, and there was no damage.
This made the City Lord very happy.
When the City Lord is in a good mood, the rewards for them will naturally not be low.
Although other young people in the city also received material rewards, they were obviously more concerned about the City Lord's recognition of them in other aspects.
This also involves the exchange of interests among some noble forces in the city.
After all, being able to send this group of young people to do this task was inherently highly dangerous.
They are all direct descendants of various families and are pivotal figures in the younger generation of their families.
Without some benefits, how could these families and forces easily send people?
As for Qin Feng, this outsider, naturally, only material rewards could be used.
After all, Qin Feng clearly stated that he was just a traveler, and coming to Bibabu City was just an accident.
He still had to leave.
So the City Lord could only give him crystal rewards.
As for things like weapons and skills, they are too precious; the City Lord could not reward such an outsider.
And gold coins seem too cheap; everyone is a cultivator, who is short of gold coins these days?
So this time, Qin Feng's reward for helping Bibabu City find the spies and escorting two key witnesses to Bibabu City was one yellow crystal.
When Qin Feng received the reward, his face was still calm.
Making it impossible for people to see his thoughts.
He also didn't want to pretend to be flattered or very grateful in front of the Bibabu City Lord.
He will have no more intersection with this Bibabu City Lord in the future, and there is no need to be hypocritical with him.
As for whether a yellow crystal is too cheap?
Qin Feng really didn't think the City Lord was stingy.
Don't look at the system rewarding ten white crystals or a few yellow crystals at every turn, but in fact, in this region, crystals are still very precious things.
Don't forget.
1 yellow crystal is equivalent to 100 white crystals, equivalent to 10, 00 gold coins, and also equivalent to 1 million copper coins.
In this Bibabu City, this is already a high price.
Although Qin Feng is used to the system's high rewards, he did not ignore the prices in this region because of it.
Of course, it is just this region.
After leaving the vicinity of Bibabu City and heading to larger cities or the center of the kingdom,
he believes that white crystals and yellow crystals will probably not be very precious things.
Even if they won't be everywhere, they will be relatively common and easy to see.
At least, among cultivators, it will be like this.
Qin Feng's reaction made the City Lord feel very bored, and he didn't want to say anything more to him.
This meeting basically ended very quickly.
Everyone naturally should go back to their own homes.
And Qin Feng didn't bring any luggage when he came here, and he was empty-handed when he left.
He left the City Lord's Mansion directly.
He first found an inn in Bibabu City to stay.
During the previous period, Qin Feng had been staying in the City Lord's Mansion, so he hadn't been able to properly tour this Bibabu City.
Although he knew there were no magical things here, nor anything worth his special attention,
but since one thing has come to an end and a task has been completely completed,
it is good to rest for a day in a city he passes through and walk around.
After all, one should combine work and rest.
These days, he has also been working hard to cultivate and has never slacked off; he should relax his mind to avoid his spirit being stretched too tight, which is prone to problems.
More importantly, Lin An's words were obviously not finished, and he wanted to wait for Lin An here.
He had a premonition that what Lin An said about leaving was to leave with him.
