Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Hushan City, Will Surely Lose

Yin Li took a deep breath and nodded with a smile.

"It’s a pity, but I’m still very grateful to Mr. Lu Xiao for saving the Tiger Roar Army in its time of peril," she said, then bowed deeply to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. This Yin Li really knew how to present herself.

No wonder she became the City Lord of Hushan City at such a young age.

Besides talent and strong abilities, she also had a knack for winning people’s hearts.

Just that one simple bow had deeply moved Fang Heng, who was standing aside.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, is there anything you need? Our Hushan City will do its utmost to assist," Yin Li added.

"Nothing much, just bring my black horse over," Lu Xiao replied.

"And, well, I’m a bit hungry."

Yin Li’s eyes immediately lit up.

It was already afternoon, and after eating, it would be night.

Lu Xiao would definitely have to stay in Hushan City. If he stayed for one night, there might still be a chance.

"Someone, go prepare a banquet at the mansion."

"Also, bring Mr. Lu Xiao’s black horse over."

"Mr. Lu Xiao, please," she invited.

Without refusing, Lu Xiao followed Yin Li towards the Inner City.

The Long Sword Army on both sides didn’t follow but rushed directly to the city gate to take defensive positions.

"Mr. Lu Xiao..."

"Just call me Lu Xiao," Lu Xiao shook his head; he really wasn’t accustomed to being addressed so formally.

"Certainly," Yin Li nodded. "Lu Xiao, you are... from the Royal City, right?"

"You can tell?"

"Aside from the Royal City and Holy Land, there’s hardly anyone else with such talent. The four Holy Lands are quite far from here, and you don’t seem to be in a state of traveling long distances, so I guess you can only be from the Royal City," Yin Li explained.

"Hmm, the Royal City isn’t that interesting, just thought I’d walk around and gain some experience. But speaking of which, your own talent is quite impressive, why didn’t you go to the First Academy?"

"I was planning to go, but before I left, Lion Mane City attacked."

"Actually, it’s not too late to go now."

Yin Li suddenly stopped, then turned around to look at Lu Xiao.

"So, do you think that Hushan City is definitely going to lose?" Yin Li understood Lu Xiao’s implication, suggesting that she should leave Hushan City.

"Yes," Lu Xiao nodded.

Although he had never been to Lion Mane City, it was quite clear that Lion Mane City’s strength far surpassed Hushan City.

The two columns of the Long Sword Army just now should be Yin Li’s guards, and the City Lord’s guards were naturally the strongest.

Yet even this strongest unit could only be considered average for Lion Mane City.

"If you help me, we have a chance."

"As long as we kill the City Lord of Lion Mane City, I’m confident I can defend Hushan City."

Lu Xiao glanced at Yin Li. This girl was being a bit presumptuous.

Even if the City Lord of Lion Mane City died, a new one would take his place. The power disparity would remain significant, and Hushan City would still be unable to hold up.

You, Yin Li, are merely at the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer, not at the Half-Immortal Realm Seventh Level.

If you were at the Half-Immortal Realm Seventh Level, then it wouldn’t be impossible for you alone to stand firm and defend Hushan City.

"Time to eat," Lu Xiao said, waving his hand nonchalantly to change the subject.

Yin Li didn’t say any more and continued to lead the way.

Before long, Lu Xiao followed Yin Li to the City Lord Mansion.

Upon entering, Lu Xiao immediately saw his black horse.

The black horse was tied in a stable nearby and had been fed some excellent fodder, looking quite content as it ate.

"Lu Xiao, let’s go inside; the food and drinks are ready," Yin Li said.

"Thank you, City Lord. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony," Lu Xiao responded.

After taking a seat in the courtyard, Lu Xiao started to show off impressively.

He didn’t refuse any toasts offered by others, as he couldn’t get drunk anyway.

If he felt the slightest hint of drunkenness, a quick circulation of Inner Qi would sober him up immediately.

As evening approached, the banquet finally came to an end.

"Lu Xiao, your room is ready. Stay for the night and leave tomorrow," Yin Li quickly suggested as she saw Lu Xiao get up after eating.

Lu Xiao looked at the sky, then at Yin Li, and silently nodded.

He felt that this girl hadn’t given up yet.

She would probably make a move tonight.

He just wondered if she was going to play an emotional card or something else...
