Inside Fu Guang City, Ji Fengyan asked Meng Fusheng about the location of the Forest of Freedom. She was preparing to go look first herself.
Meng Fusheng was shocked when he heard that Ji Fengyan would enter the Forest of Freedom alone.
“You are entering the forest alone? Is it… is it really a good idea to do so?” Meng Fusheng was quite worried.
Although he had been unhappy about ceding his top dog position—on closer thought, it wasn’t such a bad choice to rely on someone more powerful. Especially after Gong Zhiyu’s visit, Meng Fusheng was well aware that the Blood Tribe alone was far from enough to go against the other two powers in the Free Valley. Previously, Fu Guang City had avoided disaster as there had been no clash of interests.
But the moment anything happened, Fu Guang City was definitely the most passive party.
Meng Fusheng was well aware of Fu Guang City’s past situation, and so suppressed his pride. Now that Fu Guang City was being managed by Ji Fengyan, he suddenly felt… that the city held a bright and limitless future.
“Although I have never gone to the Forest of Freedom, but I have heard many rumors regarding it. It not only holds wondrous, precious treasures, but also scary monsters. Even Zhai Xing Lou and Yan Luo Dian dare not enter without fully arming themselves and bringing enough manpower. Even so, they suffer tremendous casualties every time they returned from the forest.” Meng Fusheng was truly worried for Ji Fengyan.
He acknowledged that Ji Fengyan was very powerful, but the dangers within the Forest of Freedom were equally terrifying.
“How about this? I will go now to assemble a group of my best fighters to accompany you into the forest?” This time, Meng Fusheng was not willing to have anything bad happen to Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan casually tossed a glance at Meng Fusheng. “You guys would be a hindrance.”
Meng Fusheng was struck dumb…
This was the first time that someone felt the Blood Tribe men would be a hindrance.
But coming from Ji Fengyan, her statement was somewhat difficult to rebut.
“Then… should we get the giant soldier god? Let it accompany you instead?” Meng Fusheng felt his suggestion was just perfect.
The giant soldier god’s power was undeniable. If she brought it with her into the forest, she had no need to fear either men from the other two powers, or even any monsters she might encounter there.
But…
“Can you find it?” Ji Fengyan asked gloomily.
Meng Fusheng opened his mouth, but could only sheepishly shake his head.
Who knew where that giant soldier god had gone. They had been combing the area surrounding Fu Guang City for quite a while but couldn’t find any trace of it.
Such a massive giant soldier god. How could it have disappeared just like that?
“No need to say anymore. Even if it returns, I will not bring it along,” Ji Fengyan said.
“Why not?” Meng Fusheng was nonplussed.
Ji Fengyan replied, “It’s too eye-catching.”
Meng Fusheng was stunned.
On her own, Ji Fengyan’s movement would be easy and difficult to detect. But that giant soldier god was so huge that it would be like a sore thumb sticking out of the Forest of Freedom—announcing to the whole world that someone was trespassing into the forest.
Meng Fusheng had nothing more to say after Ji Fengyan’s reply. He could only look pleadingly at Linghe, who was sitting at the side sipping a cup of tea.
Meng Fusheng’s stare perplexed Linghe. After a while, he finally realized what Meng Fusheng wanted.
