Chapter 23: Requests

"What do you mean by saying that you can only go back in a few months?" Xiao Yan asked questions again.

"Let's go down from this pillar of light again, and it will be a month later."

"Huh?" Xiao Yan and Xiao Chun expressed their doubts in unison. Shangguan Jing pointed to the pillar of light in front of him and said.

"We've actually spent the past few months riding this pillar of light. Although I don't know what the principle is, judging from the feedback of many adventurers, this is no longer a matter of doubt. After speaking, Shangguan Jing walked into the pillar of light and continued.

"Let's go." Standing in this pillar of light, Xiao Yan and Xiaochun were still in shock, their eyes opened and closed, and in the blink of an eye, just a month has passed, and Zhou Zhao's environment is still the same as before, walking through the barren land, through the dark forest, wading through this lawn, and finally through the woods. Xiao Yan and they returned to the city gate. Standing in front of the city gate, Shangguan Jing turned his head and said to Xiao Yan and Xiao Chun.

"After entering, I won't go with you, I'll find a small path with no one and walk back first, so as not to be recognized by people on the street and then be thrown rotten eggs." After finishing speaking, Shangguan Jing no longer looked at them, but just smiled bitterly. That's right, these people, including Xiao Yan before, all regarded Shangguan Jing as the target of their anger. Hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Chun stopped talking, because they couldn't help anything.

"Let's get some rest today."

After entering the city, Shangguan Jing and Xiao Yan went their separate ways. Walking down the street, the people on the street seem to have lost their vitality compared to before, and basically, there is no dialogue between people.

"I know it's been more than two months since we set off, but what's going on with this strange atmosphere? Whispers? Xiao Chun leaned into Xiao Yan's ear and whispered. Xiao Yan was blown by Xiao Chun's ears, and his whole body was excited, so he hurriedly dodged away, opened a distance, and replied.

"I've just arrived here, I don't know anything." Realizing that his demeanor was a little too intimate, Xiao Chun blushed and lowered his head. Returned home and opened the door.

"Mom, I'm back. Mother? The voice resounded throughout the whole house, and Xiao Yan searched for it, but he couldn't find his mother. Where did my mom go? Holding such a question in his heart, Xiao Yan searched back and forth. There was a knock at the door, and the door opened. Standing in front of Xiao Yan Xiaochun were two soldiers.

"Is it Mr. Xiaoyan and Miss Xiaochun? Our officers and superiors are invited, and Mr. Xiaoyan's mother is also with us. "Walk out of the house, follow the two soldiers, pass the central tower, and walk all the way west until the end. In an open space, there is only one building that stands out in particular. After entering, sure enough, Xiaoyan's mother was sitting there drinking tea.

"Mom? Are you okay? Xiaoyan ran up with concern and asked about her mother's situation.

"Huh? Xiaoyan, Xiaochun, are you back? After confirming that her mother was fine, Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, are you Mr. Bingyun's apprentice?" A majestic voice sounded, and Xiao Yan noticed the two people on the desk. It was the officer and boss of the army who led the team to rectify the villains and rescued Xiaoyan before. The boss sitting in the chair said.

"Oh, I was rude and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Liang Hao, and I am the leading boss of the Second Army. Then standing behind me is the officer of the Second Army, Su Yang, I think you should have met before. The boss finished introducing.

"So, may I ask, Mr. Xiao Yan, are you accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Bingyun?" Seeing that these two people did not have malicious intent, Xiao Yan replied.

"That's right." After listening to Xiao Yan's answer, the boss nodded. It took a long time for him to raise his head.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, since you are Bingyun's apprentice, then, the old man has a reluctant request."

"What reluctance?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Mr. Xiao Yan hasn't been back for more than two months, so he shouldn't know the situation in the city, right? The old man will explain the situation in the city to you first, and then it is not too late to listen to the old man's request. Thinking back to the abnormal situation of the people in the city, Xiao Yan and Xiaochun found a place to sit down and listened to the boss's story. (Of course, Xiaoyan's mother was asked to leave)

"Actually, this situation appeared a long time ago, but after Mr. Xiaoyan you went out, it became even worse. And this situation only appeared after the death of Mr. Bingyun. When Bingyun was mentioned, the expressions of the two of them couldn't help but show loss.

"In fact, the situation is not big when it is big, and it is not small when it is small. It's just that I'm a little restless about whether I can get out. And the recent situation has become more and more intense, and the people seem to have lost confidence in our **. Although we tried our best to suppress the previous negative news, in the end, the news of the monster's resurrection after Bingyun's death was still known to the whole city. ”

"In addition, the strategy group has not made the slightest progress on the second layer, in fact, Mr. Xiao Yan, you also know about it on the second layer, we have sent someone out to explain the reason for the lack of progress, but the masses don't eat this set at all, that's why it's so far, people are panicking."

"So, what the hell am I asking for, and what can't I help you?" Xiao Yan wondered.

"Don't say that, Mr. Xiao Yan, your own existence has helped a lot, as long as you have the label of Bingyun's apprentice, you can help us solve this problem. So, Mr. Xiaoyan, this is the old man's request. ”

"What request?" Xiao Yan still doesn't know. The boss stood up, walked in front of Xiao Yan, bowed his head and said.

"The old man hopes that Mr. Xiao Yan can use the label of Bingyun's apprentice, and then announce in the central tower that your various ability values have reached the level of being able to become the number one in this world, and give all people a reassurance."

"What is a reassuring pill? I don't have that strength. Xiao Yan immediately refused.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Xiao Yan only needs to brag in front of everyone, and then on the second layer, with the help of our elite team, you can create the fact that you killed the boss alone, and when the time comes, the people will no longer be as chaotic as they are now."

"But I don't have any power, won't they doubt me?"

"It's okay, Mr. Xiao Yan, the previous rumor that killing Mr. Bingyun will inherit Mr. Bingyun's ability is still there, as long as we tell it to be true."
