Ning Meng Yaoâs gaze turned cold as she glared at Wei Luo and demanded, âWhat do you mean?â
âDonât get me wrong, I donât want to help him. I just donât want him to harm himself because of his own will. So thatâs why I came to you, and Iâm not afraid if you donât believe me. If I really wanted to help him, the things here would have long been in his hands.â Wei Luo looked directly into Ning Meng Yaoâs eyes. She was being serious and there was no meaning in hiding her purpose.
Yu Feng and the others on the side frowned and they were a little surprised seeing Wei Luo act like this. How could she be so confident that if they helped Feng Xiao, he would not steal their things? Could they not do anything about it?
Ning Meng Yao looked at Wei Luo and coldly asked, âWho are you?â
Wei Luo smiled gently and replied to her, âI donât know if you have heard of a prophet.â
Everyone except Yu Feng had doubt in their eyes. Prophet? Prophets actually still existed in this world?
âYou mean, you are a prophet?â Yu Fengâs voice trembled, he did not believe it. How could a prophet stay in such a place? But looking at her serious expression, no matter how Yu Feng tried not to believe it, he still had no other choice but to believe her.
Wei Luo nodded and said, âYou guessed it right, I am a prophet, but Iâm a little different from the prophets you know. I am also a divination expert. When I met you last time, I wasnât actually being chased after by the people from the Wei family. In fact, the real person who was trying to kill me was from the same class as me.â Wei Luo was obviously directing the latter statements to Ning Meng Yao.
Ning Meng Yao smiled and looked at Wei Luo with a smirk, then she said with a sneer, âIt seems we have all looked down on you.â
Wei Luo shook her head and replied, âAfter I separated from you, I went to the Westcoast to fulfill the masterâs wishes. That is to help her look after Feng Xiao and stop his actions. But I realized a few days back that I had no way to stop Feng Xiao from doing the things he wants to do. But you guys can stop him, thatâs why I have come to you.â
What Wei Luo said really felt unbelievable to Ning Meng Yao and the rest. A Prophet? A divination expert? Didnât these people only exist hundreds of years ago, and werenât they all gone now? Then who was this person in front of them? Could she be faking it?
âWhy should I help you?â
âMeng Yao, you help me to keep Feng Xiao alive, and Iâll help you do what you want to do.â Wei Luo looked at Ning Meng Yao and promised seriously. âI know you all will leave after this matter is resolved. I can help you settle the things here, including anything related to the Xiao Empire.â
This was quite a temptation for Ning Meng Yao, but Yu Feng and the others looked at her with their eyes wide open and asked, âWhat does she mean, Little Yaoâer? You guys are leaving? Where are you going?â
âYeah, Yaoâer, you didnât even tell us.â Mu Chen also frowned at Ning Meng Yao. He was obviously a little angry.
Ning Meng Yao rubbed her eyebrows as she felt a headache coming on. She turned to the two of them, looked down and whispered, âBrother-in-law, Brother Mu Chen, you also know that after this issue began, Tong Bao Zhaiâs movement has been too great. So this place is no longer suitable for us to live.â
She would also not want to leave if she could, but if they stayed, they would be in danger. Tong Bao Zhaiâs action this time would have caused fear amongst the leaders of other empires, and perhaps everyone else would also start attacking Tong Bao Zhai over fear of its power.
After all, no one in power would want his throne to be threatened by others any time.
Yu Feng frowned as well. As a military counselor, he had guessed that it would be quite a serious problem, so he kept quiet. Ning Meng Yao was right, if they did continue staying here, other people would be suspicious or jealous of them, even if they did nothing. It was better to leave this place if that was the case.
âYou guys plan to go to the West Coast?â Yu Feng asked as he looked at the two while frowning. It would not be easy to get along with the people there.
Ning Meng Yao nodded with a smile: âMaybe, but weâll only go there after the current problems here are resolved.â They would certainly not leave this place now.
