Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Wei Zhengqing (2/2)

“Do you want to go out and play?” Lin Jing rubbed her little head.
“I do…”
It seemed as if she remembered the incident from yesterday, and Luo Luo hesitated.
“But I can’t worry my mother.”
“It’s fine, follow Uncle, Uncle will protect you, so naturally you won’t be afraid.”
“When we get to the street, I’ll also buy you some sugar-coated hawthorns, how does that sound?”
Now that he thought about it, since coming here, apart from exploring to understand the commerce chamber, he hadn’t really taken a good stroll through Fang Market.
With nothing pressing at the moment, it was the perfect time to go out and truly experience the customs of this different world.
“Good.”
Luo Luo happily agreed.
After all, children are naturally active and don’t like to stay in one place for a long time.
The two of them left the house together, and just as they stepped out of the courtyard, they saw the neighbor’s door across from them wide open.
Luo Luo ran over with a ‘thud thud thud’.
“Uncle Wei.”
Lin Jing quickly followed.
As they reached the entrance, the little girl peeked inside.
“Uncle Wei, are you at home?”
A moment later, a young man dressed in black clothes came out.
His eyes were icy, his expression cold; he didn’t seem very approachable.
Seeing this person emerge, Luo Luo approached and said:
“Uncle Wei, I haven’t seen you in such a long time, where have you been these days?”
“Uncle Wei had some matters to attend to and left for a while.”
The black-clothed young man looked at Luo Luo, his icy gaze tinged with a hint of gentleness.
Then he raised his head, and when he looked at Lin Jing again, his eyes were sharp and cold, as if he was appraising prey.
“Uncle Wei, this is Uncle Lin, he moved here some time ago.”
“Why are you with him?” the black-clothed young man asked, looking at Luo Luo.
“My mother has been quite busy recently, so she temporarily entrusted me to Uncle Lin’s care,” said Luo Luo.
“Uncle Lin is a really good person, he even saved Luo Luo yesterday.”
“Uncle Wei, you don’t know, but yesterday, I was in the inn…”
The little girl recounted the previous day’s events in detail to the black-clothed young man.
After listening to her story, the black-clothed young man’s gaze softened slightly as he turned back to Lin Jing.
“Wei Zhengqing, a friend of Luo Luo’s father.”
The black-clothed young man introduced himself, clearly having given his approval to the young man before him.
“Lin Jing.”
Wei Zhengqing nodded.
“Uncle Wei, we are going to browse around Fang Market, do you want to come with us?”
Wei Zhengqing shook his head and said to Luo Luo.
“Luo Luo, Uncle Wei still has things to do. You two go ahead and have fun, just remember not to be out too late, you can’t make your mother worry.”
“Mhmm, Luo Luo remembers, I won’t let Mother worry.”
Afterward, Wei Zhengqing spoke to Lin Jing.
“Brother Lin, it’s fine to wander in Fang Market, but make sure not to leave it. The Demonic Beasts’ rampage has been getting more severe, even starting to attack the outskirts of Fang Market.”
“The Demonic Beasts’ rampage hasn’t subsided yet?”
Lin Jing was surprised, having heard about the Demonic Beasts’ rampage when he first moved here.
He had thought things had been so quiet lately that the rampage had already settled down.
“Not yet, Fang Market has now started to dispatch more patrols, so for the time being there isn’t much of a problem.”
“This rampage has indeed lasted a bit longer than usual, hopefully, it will subside in a while.”
Although Wei Zhengqing said this, he wasn’t certain himself; this rampage of the Demonic Beasts was indeed peculiar.
As Wei Zhengqing still had matters to handle, the two did not stay much longer and left.
Walking on the street, it was still bustling with crowds, continuous shouts from sellers filled the air, and everyone seemed oblivious to the Demonic Beasts’ rampage—as if it had become part of their usual life.
After all, Fang Market was located right next to the Night Mist Mountain Range.
