Chapter 219: Invitation of the City Lord
“Fellow brother, please wait a moment.”
As Jian Chen continued walking, a sound suddenly rang out from behind accompanied by the sounds of heavy footsteps.
Jian Chen’s eyes furrowed together as he turned his head, only to see a squad of heavily armored soldiers running at him quickly with two middle aged men leading the squad.
He looked at the armored pair of men with a suspicious look. Although he realized one of them was the man he saw not too long ago, the commander of Wake City’s defensive troops, Duo Li.
Seeing these troops from Wake City approach him, Jian Chen couldn’t help but feel suspicious. He had no idea if these men were here for the sole purpose of capturing him for his eradication of the Zhou clan.
Yet while Jian Chen didn’t fear these men, he wanted to find uncle Kendall’s family within Wake City. It was for this reason that he wasn’t yet willing to fight with the local ruler of Wake City.
“Fellow brother, please wait!” Seeing Jian Chen slow done, Duo Li called out to him once more as he urged his group to go faster.
Jian Chen looked at Duo Li and his group of men next to him before asking Duo Li, “Commander Duo Li, is there a problem?”
Commander Duo Li revealed a cordial smile as he gave a salute to Jian Chen. “Fellow brother, this is the lord of Wake City.” He pointed to the middle aged man next to him.
“The leader of Wake City!” Jian Chen was a bit startled. Immediately looking at the lord, he cupped his hands together, “So you are the lord of Wake City, this one is Jian Chen, excuse this one for his lack of knowledge.”
When the city lord had first heard that Jian Chen was a twenty year old that had reached the Great Saint Master level, he originally thought that Jian Chen was from a clan with a strong background. At this moment, he saw neither the rich robes or the air of arrogance, making his impression of Jian Chen neither good nor bad.
The lord of Wake City cupped his hands together, “So you are called Jian Chen, this one is called Yun Li. Brother Jian Chen, if it’s not too much to ask, just call me elder brother Yun Li instead of Lord if that can be avoided.” Seeing Jian Chen’s calm face, Yun Li could ascertain that whether it was his expression or the strange attitude of Jian Chen, he was no ordinary person. Despite the fact that Jian Chen was wearing mediocre quality clothing, the city lord didn’t look down on Jian Chen at all, instead, he had actually admired him for a moment.
Hearing the words of Yun Li, Jian Chen understood that he was trying to make friends with him. However, he still didn’t dare to lower his guard, since with Yun Li’s strength, he couldn’t afford to treat him as nothing.
