Cang Yan was certain that Luo Huo’er came from an impressive background. And Luo Huo’er seemed to be someone of importance in her family clan.
Under these circumstances, it was unlikely that Luo Huo’er’s family clan would leave her completely unprotected by letting her go to the Tai Ah Divine City alone.
It was likely that Luo Huo’er had some method that could save her life. If this life-saving method could not rival the Shepherd Boy, then under normal circumstances, Luo Huo’er would have secretly informed her family clan several months ago to request for protection.
Now, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom was like a drowning person. Any hanging blade of grass that could save it would be grabbed on.
Although the chances of relying on Luo Huo’er to save the Tai Ah Divine City were extremely minute, it was better than having no hope.
It was extremely difficult for a Tai Ah Divine City Sage, such as Jian Ge, to raise this issue with a young lady like Luo Huo’er as they could not bear ripping off their face to do so. Hence, this task fell gloriously onto Cang Yan, who had the thickest skin.
“Family clan? What family clan?” Luo Huo’er’s eyes rolled her eyes, as if she was clueless about it.
Yi Yun also stopped his steps. He looked behind him at Luo Huo’er and Cang Yan. Cang Yan clearly had expected Luo Huo’er to feign ignorance. He coughed drily and rubbed his hands, saying, “Miss Luo, don’t joke around with this old man in such a time of need. We are gambling the numerous lives of the Tai Ah Divine City’s residents on this. If we had any other options, this old man would not have put up this old face to mention this to you…”
“Lives are precious. All of us old fellows do not have many years left to live, so it’s fine if we lose our lives. However, behind us, there are trillions of citizens. Amongst them are newly-wed couples, newborn children…”
“I don’t think you want to see these citizens die in the beast horde. When that happens, how great a human tragedy would that be…” Cang Yan said earnestly.
Yi Yun, who was eavesdropping, could not help but admit that Cang Yan was very good at speaking. If Luo Huo’er were to turn away and leave now, she would be a heartless person.
Besides… the Tai Ah Divine City’s teleportation array needed the control of two law-enforcers to activate it. If Luo Huo’er did not make any affirmation, Cang Yan would probably not let her leave.
