135: Chapter 135 Layers of Imprisonment

In an instant, Leng Ruoxi began to regret it; she had never expected a situation like this.

How was she supposed to sleep like this?

However, it didn't seem possible to move to another room now.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll just cover my head with the quilt, and it should be over soon." Although Leng Ruoxi had never experienced such things, she knew a little bit about them.

She immediately covered her head with the quilt, but the rustling sounds continued to drift over.

With no other choice, Leng Ruoxi had to press her hands firmly against her ears to muffle the sounds.

Torture, this was absolute torture!

Hurry up and end!

However, after a while, she began to feel that something was wrong!

Damn it!

How long has it been, hey!

Aren't you being a bit excessive!

Ah!

Just endure a little longer, just a little longer.

Leng Ruoxi comforted herself in her heart.

Telling herself to hold on for a bit longer.

But.

After a while.

She realized she had been completely wrong!

This guy had no intention of stopping at all.

Forget it!

Leng Ruoxi got up.

And walked outside.

She intended to go see her brother and sister-in-law.

After all, her letter should be on its way to the Jiangcheng Barrier by now, and since she wasn't running away, it shouldn't be too much to go see her brother and sister-in-law, right?

She left the manor and headed outside.

However, after a while.

Leng Ruoxi felt that something was amiss.

It seemed like someone was following her.

She turned around abruptly.

But she saw that there was no one behind her.

This!

It made her skin crawl!

It was truly ghostly!

"Don't panic, don't panic, don't scare yourself. It's late at night, everyone is asleep; who else would be out?"

"It's just my imagination."

Leng Ruoxi patted her chest.

And continued walking forward.

Heading toward the small room where her brother and sister-in-law were being held.

Meanwhile.

Inside the military headquarters.

Li Xian and Wang Weidong had just finished handling some matters.

"Marquis Ling Feng, I'll head back first," Wang Weidong said, preparing to turn and walk out.

"Wait a moment."

Marquis Ling Feng called out to him.

"What is it?"

"I'm planning to talk to you about the position of Vice City Lord," Li Xian said.

This single sentence made Wang Weidong freeze. He knew that there was originally only one Marquis Realm Expert in the Su City Barrier.

There were no other Marquis Realm Experts; everyone else was only at the Town General Rank.

The position of Vice City Lord had also remained vacant.

As a veteran of the military, he was qualified to become the Vice City Lord of the Su City Barrier.

Originally, he had the ambition to compete for this position.

However, he didn't have much of that ambition now.

After all, Ye Qing had been too stunning during the Battle of Weicheng.

Furthermore, he had limitless potential. Plus, with Marquis Ling Feng bringing up the Vice City Lord matter at this time.

It was likely to give him a heads-up that the position was going to Ye Qing, so he wouldn't have any objections.

"I understand, Marquis Ling Feng. You don't need to explain further; Ye Qing truly deserves the position of Vice City Lord."

"If he didn't take the position of Vice City Lord, that would actually cause controversy. I have no complaints about the Vice City Lord position falling to Ye Qing."

"I will continue to work diligently in the future."

Wang Weidong spoke these words with great sincerity.

Huh?!

Li Xian looked at Wang Weidong, taken aback.

Had this guy misunderstood his intentions?

"Wait, what are you saying?"

Li Xian said, "Who said I was going to give the position of Vice City Lord to Ye Qing?"

What?!

Wang Weidong's eyes widened. It wasn't for Ye Qing?

Then who?

"This position of Vice City Lord is yours. I wanted you to go back and think carefully about how to further strengthen the power deployment of the Su City Barrier. Let's both think about it, and in a while, we will hold the inauguration ceremony for the Vice City Lord."

"Then Ye Qing…"

"Haha." Li Xian laughed twice and then leaned back.

"You don't really think that with Ye Qing's talent, he would stay in the Su City Barrier forever, do you? The sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly. This guy has already made a name for himself throughout the entire Eastern War Zone; even King Fenghai has nothing but praise for Ye Qing."

"His future achievements will not be low."

"Never mind a Vice City Lord position of the Su City Barrier, even if I gave him my position, I'm afraid he wouldn't want it right now."

"I can tell that this guy is not someone who likes to be constrained, which is why I haven't tried to pull him into the military."

As Li Xian spoke, Wang Weidong nodded.

"Thank you for your trust, Marquis Ling Feng."

"Then I will go back and think about it."

"Go ahead." Li Xian waved his hand, and Wang Weidong left.

Li Xian walked outside, looked at the moon in the sky, and wandered around aimlessly.

After a while, he arrived at his exotic beast's dwelling.

"Damn it, it's one thing that Ye Qing is strong, but his exotic beast is actually…"

Huh?

Li Xian said, but he didn't see the Blazing Flame Tiger come out.

He walked into the dwelling to check.

Good grief.

It wasn't there!

There was no need to ask where the Blazing Flame Tiger was!

It must have gone out with Ye Qing's exotic beast!

Meanwhile.

Leng Ruoxi had also arrived near the small cabin.

She looked ahead.

And then stopped in her tracks.

Her eyes widened abruptly; she couldn't believe what she was seeing!

What was this!

She saw that in front of her brother's cabin, Ye Qing's White Tiger and another Giant Tiger were standing guard.

These two tigers were here.

Making even her grandfather's Four-unlike afraid to make any rash moves, lying there obediently.

Especially Ye Qing's White Tiger, which now had its six wings curled up, wrapping itself into a cocoon.

Absorbing the moonlight from the sky!

This!

What kind of peculiar energy absorption method was this!

Never seen before!

Leng Ruoxi watched as the two Giant Tigers were now asleep.

And prepared to move forward.

But the next moment.

She saw on the ground in the distance.

Several black shadows darting over.

It looked as if someone's shadow had detached from their body and was moving freely!

What was this!

Leng Ruoxi felt the hair on her body stand up in an instant!

Terrifying!

Extremely terrifying!

A moment later, those black shadows arrived in front of Leng Ruoxi.

Their bodies emerged from the ground, revealing themselves to be Black-robed figures.

They didn't speak, just stood straight in front of Leng Ruoxi.

Blocking her from moving forward.

Were these the forces under Ye Qing?

Leng Ruoxi felt the Aura of the group of Black-robed figures and felt her scalp go numb. Not only was Ye Qing powerful, but he also had so many skilled subordinates.

Her brother was being guarded too tightly.

Two Giant Tigers, so many Powerful Experts!

It could be said to be an inescapable net!

"Brother, I can't help you now."

Leng Ruoxi pressed her hands together in front of her chest.

Looking like she was praying for her brother.

She only hoped that her grandfather would see the letter soon, send the bet over early, and let them go home.

"I'll just go back to sleep. This trip back and forth has taken up quite a bit of time. That guy should be finished by now, and I'll be able to get a good night's sleep when I get back."

Leng Ruoxi thought to herself, whispering softly.
