So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

After the five people gathered, Lei Tingyi spoke lightly.

"Not far away is Fog City. Fog City is different from other cities. It is surrounded by fog. Everyone be careful."

Although his voice was calm, his eyes revealed a sense of vigilance and caution.

When Chen Yan heard the words "Fog City", his expression changed slightly.

He seemed to know something about this place, or had heard some legends about it.

However, he didn't say much, just shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

When Ling Jiuan saw Chen Yan's reaction, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

she asked softly.

"What's wrong? Is there anything special about Fog City?"

Chen Yan glanced at her, then smiled slightly, shook his head and said.

"It's okay, let's go! Let's go and see what mysteries this foggy city has."

Although Chen Yan did not say much, Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi could both feel that Fog City did not seem to be a simple place.

They looked at each other and decided to proceed more cautiously.

After all, in this world full of unknowns and dangers, unexpected dangers may be hidden anywhere.

Lei Tingyi looked at Chen Yan's reaction and suddenly thought of something.

He usually doesn't talk much, but at this moment he said a few more words, which was rare.

"I remember that the Lord of Fog City is surnamed Pei!"

Ling Jiuan nodded as if he understood, indicating that he didn't know much about Fog City.

She looked at Chen Yan and found that his expression was more complicated, and he seemed a little entangled and hesitant.

Lei Tingyi smiled and continued.

"If I remember correctly, the Pei family and the Chen family have some history, they should be old friends, right? Chen Yan, do you have any special memories or understanding of Fog City?"

Chen Yan was silent for a while, then he sighed and spoke slowly.

"Yes, the Pei family and the Chen family are indeed old friends. And I do have some special memories of Fog City. However, that is all in the past, and there is no point in talking about it now."

Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi looked at each other and could see curiosity and concern in each other's eyes.

They knew that Chen Yan must have his own story and past, but he was unwilling to mention it easily.

Lei Tingyi spoke lightly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

"Chen Yan, are you so silent because the Pei family and the Chen family have an engagement?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan's body trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise and panic flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect Lei Tingyi to suddenly bring up this topic, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.

Ling Jiuan was also stunned. She looked at Chen Yan, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

She had never heard of any engagement between Chen Yan and the Pei family, which made her curious.

Chen Yan was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and spoke slowly.

"Lei Tingyi, you are really smart. Yes, the Pei family and the Chen family did have an engagement, but that was a long time ago. It doesn't make any sense to bring it up now."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, his heart moved.

She looked at Chen Yan and asked softly.

"Chen Yan, what's the matter with your engagement with the Pei family? If you are willing, can you tell us?"

Chen Yan was silent for a while, then sighed.

Before Chen Yan could speak, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the front.

The next moment, a cute voice with anger sounded.

"How dare you harm innocent people!"

But it was obvious that the owner of that voice was no match for his opponent, and there was a hint of anxiety and powerlessness in the voice.

Chen Yan moved and rushed over immediately.

Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan looked at each other, both confused.

They didn't know what was happening in front of them, but from the sound, it seemed that a woman was fighting with some kind of "evil beast" and was at a disadvantage.

The two of them immediately followed, wanting to see what was going on.

They quickened their pace and soon arrived at the scene of the fight.

I saw a woman in gorgeous clothes fighting fiercely with a huge monster. The monster was emitting black mist and looked extremely ferocious.

Although the woman was very skilled, she was obviously no match for the monster.

The long sword in her hand seemed to be somewhat powerless under the attack of the monster, and her clothes were torn in several places, revealing the skin underneath.

Seeing this, Chen Yan immediately joined the battle, waving the sword in his hand, and fighting the monster together with the woman.

Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan followed closely and joined the battle.

The four of them worked together and finally repelled the monster.

After the battle, the woman looked at Chen Yan and the other three with gratitude and said.

"Thank you for your help. I am Pei Ling, the daughter of the mayor of Fog City. That monster is a great scourge to our Fog City and has harmed countless innocent people. Today, thanks to you, we were able to repel it."

Chen Yan's expression became complicated when he heard this.

He looked at Pei Ling, with inexplicable emotions surging in his heart.

Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan looked at each other and saw confusion and curiosity in each other's eyes.

They knew that this foggy city did not seem simple.

Chen Yan cupped his hands and was about to say "you're welcome, young lady" when Pei Ling's body suddenly went limp and she seemed to be falling to the ground.

Chen Yan's expression suddenly changed. He quickly caught her and asked with concern.

"are you OK?"

However, after Pei Ling stood firm with the help of Chen Yan, he widened his eyes and looked at Chen Yan in disbelief, with a hint of blame and surprise in his tone.

"Chen Yan, are you pretending not to know me?!"

This sentence stunned Chen Yan, Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan.

Chen Yan looked embarrassed, as if some secret had been revealed, while Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan looked bewildered, not understanding what the entanglement was.

Pei Ling looked at Chen Yan, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, including disappointment, sadness, but more of confusion.

she continued.

"We clearly had an engagement, why are you pretending not to know me now? Is it because you think I'm not worthy of you?"

Chen Yan felt even more embarrassed when he heard this.

He looked at Pei Ling, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.

He knew that he could no longer avoid this problem.

He sighed and slowly began to explain.

"Pei Ling, you misunderstood. I didn't pretend not to know you, it's just... it's just that some things are hard to explain in a few words."

When Pei Ling heard this, a hint of doubt and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

She looked at Chen Yan, waiting for his explanation.

Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan also looked at Chen Yan with curiosity. They wanted to know what the story was.

Pei Ling looked at Chen Yan, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Forget it, I won't force you. Everyone has their own secrets and difficulties. I respect your choice."

Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to remember something, so she stopped and looked back at Chen Yan.

"However, Chen Yan, I hope you know that no matter whether the engagement between us exists or not, I will always protect Wudu City and the people here. This is my responsibility as the daughter of the city lord, and it is also the part I cannot compromise on."
