Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Greetings, Governor."
Under the bright, scorching sun, everyone on the street behaved neatly and in a disciplined manner as if it was a common practice for them The crowd, which had been in the midst of a noisy discussion, called out their greetings in a respectful and orderly manner when they noticed the young man walking towards them.
Now that it has been mentioned, the Governor of Cloudy Wind City could be considered as a myth in the Northern Block Territory!
Do not judge him based on his warm and handsome looks. In truth, he was decisive and firm in attacks and has a reputation for his ruthless strategies! It was said that the Cloudy Wind City's governor had once been an old man whose power was at the rank of a Martial Supreme. However, this young governor had then got rid of the old man and took on the position of the governor himself.
However, the most unexpected of all was that this governor was really that young! He does not look very much older than twenty years of age.
"These are the people who wish to enter the Cloudy Wind City and fight with us."
Wen Yan's gaze fell upon the crowd who had entered the city gates. A gentle yet warm smile was hanging from the corners of his lips and it enveloped the hearts of those in the crowd like a ray of sunlight. Even hearing him speak was a pleasure.
One of the guards stepped forward, joined his fists and bowed in reverence, "Reporting to the Lord Governor, they are indeed people who are in a rush on their journey so they will join the fight with Cloudy Wind City."
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Wen Yan nodded and spoke in a warm and gentle voice, "Ladies and gentleman, there's no need to worry. I guarantee that you will be able to pass through Cloudy Wind City no matter what! As long as the Snow Jade Bandits are destroyed, I will send my men to escort you on your way."
"Thank you, Lord Governor."
Hearing this, the numerous and idle cultivators who had crossed the city gates quickly joined their fists and bowed, replying with reverence.
Gu Ruoyun had remained quiet as her eyes fell upon Wen Yan's figure. A near undetectable light then flashed across her lucid and elegant eyes.
Uncle Dongfang Shaoze, who was as warm as the breeze, has always given me a sincere sense of intimacy. His warmth comes straight from his heart, making it difficult for others to resist. However, the warm features of the man before me belies a cold heart. Don't judge him based on the smile he carries, he gives off an unapproachable feeling.
However, she certainly has no plans to develop any form of deep friendship 1 with the young governor. Leaving Cloudy Wind City was of the utmost importance to her now.
Wen Yan mildly wrinkled his brow as if he could sense a pair of eyes surveying him. He followed the line of sight and turned. His eyes instantly met with a pair of lucid and elegant pupils.
However, after he discovered that he was being sized up by a young woman, he turned away as he smiled gently and spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen." He spoke in a voice which seems to have been bathed in a spring breeze, "The Snow Jade Bandits should be close to breaking through the back gate of Cloudy Wind City now. Hence, I'd like to ask you all to fight with me!"
"We comply with your command, Lord Governor!"
High spirited voices echoed throughout the streets, filled with a surge of hot passion. It was a very moving scene.
Even Gu Ruoyun could not help but admire this young governor. If he does not have such a great ability to rally his supporters, he would never have been able to persuade these idle cultivators to listen to his commands so quickly!
"Alright, let's be on our way then."
Wen Yan smiled mildly as he stood bolt upright under the glaring sun, causing everyone around him to feel a great urge to stand up straight. At this moment, those people no longer looked like idle cultivators but resembled disciplined and well-trained soldiers instead!
Cloudy Wind City has two city gates. One was the sliding door where Gu Ruoyun and the rest had entered while the other was the unavoidable road leading out of Cloudy Wind City.
