Lin Fan ended the conversation.
Xiao Qi didn’t know how to continue. How could that be called a plan? It was just him asking them to go and die.
“Sect Leader Lin I am serious.” Xiao Qi had a solemn expression, he made it clear that he wasn’t kidding. He wanted to leave but he wanted to ask whether there was a better plan or not before he left.
If there was then he might dare to take the risk.
“I am serious too.”
Was the sense of trust between them so low?
Did Prince Xiao Qi think that he was kidding?
No.
“I never joked. We would go and charge towards the Yin Demons. Whether I live or die I would wipe out a wave of them.”
What was the reason for his confidence? He was arrogant now.
Xiao Qi was speechless, forget it. You were serious… but he couldn’t be serious. He wouldn’t trust him without a perfect plan.
Based on the Royal Family records, the Yin Demon’s current chaos wasn’t bad. The one in the past was much worse.
Humans ruled in the day but in the night it was their playground.
Several experts were sacrificed before they forced the Yin Demons to this far away land.
Now that Yin Demons have started to appear around Jiang City, it wasn’t a good sign at all.
Yuan Tianchu looked towards the prince. He guessed that he came to Martial Path Mountain with a simple goal. He wanted to ask if they had any method, if they did, he would stay and help solve this problem. After all, it would be a huge contribution.
If he didn’t have a good plan.
He would run away.
However Lin Fan’s words were too exaggerated, anyone with a brain would know it wasn’t a good idea.
Now he wanted to leave, to leave this foreign place. He wanted to return to You City, to hug his Father’s leg, to cry out that he didn’t want to leave, that he wanted to stay in You City.
White Brow made his mind up, no matter what he was going to bring the prince away.
As for the Martial Path Mountain Sect Leader, he admitted that he was strong but he felt that he was unreliable.
To say he was strong.
He was indeed very strong.
Indeed, to say he was sharp and brave was true. However, for the few of them to find the home base of the Yin Demons, what a joke. He really was afraid.
At that moment there was a commotion at the entrance of Martial Path Mountain, the sound of dense footsteps.
It was really boisterous.
Lin Fan looked over, it was the Jiang City commoners who had swarmed over.
From afar one could hear the commoners calling out to His Royal Highness.
“Not good.” White Brow’s heart jumped. For some reason, a bad feeling was swamped his heart.
Please don’t be that sort of request.
Please don’t let it be.
Xiao Qi looked at the many commoners, it was packed. He shouted, “My people, slow down, slow down, don’t squeeze through. We can discuss this properly, take care for your safety, don’t cause a stampede.”
Although he was only a prince he presented with an air that a wise ruler would have.
!!
His Royal Highness, don’t say it. If you do we won’t be able to get away from here.
White Brow panicked.
He had a rough guess about what was going to happen.
However, His Royal Highness didn’t seem to understand the situation. He was conned.
As expected.
The prince was the prince, the moment he spoke those words the people stopped fighting. When one looked around, they had stopped trampling over one another.
Very quickly.
The commoners came in front of the prince. From one rough look, there had to be at least a thousand of them. Moreover, many of them were standing on the steps and didn’t squeeze together.
Hualala!
The commoners knelt on the ground and shouted, “Your Royal Highness, save us.”
Their shouts shook the heavens.
Xiao Qi’s expression was solemn as he reached out his hands, “Please rise, I am here. If you have anything to say just tell me.”
Lin Fan looked on calmly.
These commoners really came at the right time.
He wouldn’t believe if someone said that someone was fanning the flames.
Of course.
He had to see what was going on in case his guesses were wrong.
“If the Prince abandons us, we will kneel here and not get up!” The commoners cried and shouted.
Lin Fan was helpless.
If the Prince abandons you, you will kneel here? This was Martial Path Mountain, my territory, if you really did that, I would be the one who had to clear your corpses.
Xiao Qi panicked. What was going on, how did they know that the Prince was about to run?
However he still said calmly, “As the Prince, you all are my people. How can I abandon you, all of you please stand up.”
The commoners looked at one another and then someone got up, “Your Royal Highness, recently many killings occurred in Jiang City. Some people said that evil demons have arrived. We are all normal people and have no way to handle them. If Your Royal Highness leaves Jiang City, none of us will have hope of living.”
“Jiang City commoners beg Your Royal Highness to save us.”
White Brow blinked and moved his eyes in front of His Royal Highness. He couldn’t agree to stay. If he did they wouldn’t be able to leave at all.
If he didn’t have an important identity and casually agreed, he could still leave.
But as the prince, he couldn’t. His identity and status were there. If it spread that he went against his words, it would have a huge effect on his image.
Xiao Qi felt a new trust.
He looked at them.
They trust me so much and love me so much, could I still leave?
Deep down he really wanted to leave.
“My people, don’t worry, I will not leave Jiang City. I will remove the threat to the existence of Jiang City.” Xiao Qi said.
Oh my god.
White Brow wanted to say something but he stopped. Your Royal Highness why did you say that? It did not benefit them at all.
Did he forget what happened last night?
He had to pay attention to his identity and status. He couldn’t casually promise others, especially in front of so many commoners.
If he fled halfway.
His identity and reputation would be totally ruined.
Xiao Qi calmly consoled them, however, he was shouting in his heart.
What was he saying?
Why did he say that?
He couldn’t take it.
Let him return to the Imperial Capital. He would bring experts. He was totally useless remaining here.
“Go back, all go back. I promise that I will solve this Jiang City matter.” Xiao Qi waved his hands to ask the commoners to leave first.
It wasn’t good for so many people to be gathered here.
“Be safe when you walk down, don’t step on one another.”
The commoners were easy to send away. The Prince promised them so naturally, they believed him.
After all, he was the prince so why would he lie to them.
Very quickly they walked down the mountain.
Xiao Qi stood there and he was a little stunned.
He knew he had done something stupid.
However, he had no choice.
This was just his personality. When he saw the commoners in trouble, how could he back off? He had to raise his head and push forward bravely. No matter what. First, he would give his promise and then think of a plan later.
“Your Highness, you were rash.” White Brow said softly.
Xiao Qi nodded, “En, I was rash.”
He admitted that he was rash but he had no choice. How could he not be rash when facing such a thing?
“Your Royal Highness, consider my plan.” Lin Fan said.
Xiao Qi looked at Lin Fan, consider what? Even if he died in Jiang City, he definitely wouldn’t die at the Yin Demon base.
“Sect Leader Lin, is this your only plan?” Xiao Qi asked.
He felt that only Sect Leader Lin had reliable strength in Jiang City.
Even if his words weren’t reliable.
He didn’t care.
If he changed a plan, they would be able to continue discussing.
Lin Fan shook his head, “No.”
!!
Xiao Qi was helpless.
Was he forcing him into despair?
Couldn’t he just say that he had a plan?
Just at that moment, Huang Boren came.
He didn’t have a purpose for coming here. The Huang Family was just a rich merchant family, a relatively stronger presence in Jiang City.
Now, he came here to ask about the latest situation.
The Chen Family was attacked and that was surprising. He was deeply panicked. The Prince was in Chen Family so if anything happened to him, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Lin Fan thought about how the discussions were already over, so shouldn’t they leave?
He was really anxious.
He had a bunch of cute Yin Demons waiting for him in the secret room.
Talking nonsense here was wasting his precious time.
“Sect Leader come over.” Zhang Tianxian stood not far away and waved towards Lin Fan. He looked a little too calm, like he was hiding something.
Lin Fan came to Zhang Tianxian’s side, “What is it?”
Zhang Tianxian whispered to Lin Fan, “I have a plan.”
He was originally totally uninterested but what he said was different, like something a male who frequented those mature entertainment locations would say. It was as shocking as when friends asked if they were virgins and they then said they were.
“Don’t look at me like that, I really have a plan. Did you think I was useless, I do indeed have ways to defend against Yin Demons.” Zhang Tianxian said in delight.
“Really?” Lin Fan was surprised.
Zhang Tianxian nodded, “Of course, however, I have a condition. If I help Jiang City solve this, you have to share your benefits with me. I want everything in my room renovated.”
!!
He was so easily satisfied.
No wonder Martial Path Mountain went bankrupt.
“Okay, go see if the commoners have left.” Lin Fan took in a deep breath. He had thought of a plan.
He then walked in front of the prince, “Actually we have a plan, it is the safest and should be foolproof.”
Xiao Qi was really melancholic, but when he heard that he was delighted, “Sect Leader Lin, what plan is it?”
“I have a plan to block the Yin Demons and not let them enter the city. But it consumes energy and materials. If Jiang City is protected, we will need five thousand silver of repair cost a month.” Lin Fan said.
Huang Boren was shocked, “five thousand, sixty thousand a year, that isn’t a small sum.”
Indeed, it was no small sum.
But to Lin Fan, a silver here was a thousand Earth dollars, even a little more.
Which was why five thousand was equal to five to six million, sixty to seventy million a year.
Zhang Tianxian was delighted, he had finally convinced the kid.
On his way down, he was delighted.
Happy.
