In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

Chapter 78 The Arrival of the Divine Guards

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, until a quarter of an hour later, three figures dressed in cloud-patterned clothes appeared in front of everyone like fairies descending.

The leading woman was cold, noble and had an extraordinary temperament. She was Leng Ruyan.

The two young girls behind her followed closely behind her. They were the two girls in front of Tianxiang Tower last time.

One of them was named Xiaoyu.

Li Zimo frowned slightly, he naturally recognized Leng Ruyan and others.

I secretly complained in my heart, what does Leng Ruyan have to do every day?

Why is it that she is always the one who comes from the Divine Guards?

Leng Ruyan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and she quickly scanned the scene.

Soon, he caught sight of Wang Kun's disheveled figure, as well as Li Zimo and Liu Rumei hugging each other not far away.

Li Zimo was wearing a tight black outfit and a black cloak.

Half of his face was covered by a black mask, revealing only a pair of deep and sharp eyes, making him look particularly mysterious.

Leng Ruyan didn't recognize Li Zimo at first.

She frowned slightly, obviously confused and dissatisfied with everything that happened here.

She was keenly aware of the tension between the two men and the faint smell of blood lingering in the air.

So she asked:

"What on earth happened here? Why did the Divine Guards' jade slip for help activate?"

Her voice was cold and powerful, carrying an unquestionable majesty that made everyone present shudder.

Wang Kun had barely stabilized his injuries at this time, but his face was still pale. He struggled to stand up, saluted Leng Ruyan, and then replied bitterly:

"My lord, this is a long story."

"I was originally engaged to this girl named Liu Ruyan, and I even paid the Sun family 50,000 spirit stones as a betrothal gift."

"Unexpectedly, this young man forced the Sun family to cancel the engagement, which led to a conflict between me and this young man."

"I wanted to let it go, but the young man was too aggressive, which ultimately led to this unnecessary fight."

"As for asking for help from the jade slip, it was because I was defeated and nearly killed. I was in a desperate situation and had no choice but to do so in order to protect myself."

Li Zimo did not immediately refute Wang Kun's statement. He just stood there quietly, looking at Leng Ruyan with deep eyes, as if waiting for a suitable opportunity to speak.

He understood that his explanation at this moment might not change anything, but he had to let Leng Ruyan understand the full picture of the matter to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

As Wang Kun finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence.

Li Zimo coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Leng Ruyan firmly, with unquestionable sincerity flashing in his eyes.

He took a step slowly, his voice low but powerful:

"Lord Leng, please allow me to explain in detail. There are many inaccuracies in what Wang Kun said."

"I didn't force the Sun family to break off the engagement. It was actually because they coveted the spirit stones that they wanted to force Liu Rumei, an innocent widow, to marry Wang Kun."

"Liu Rumei and I are close friends. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"

"So, I paid a hundred thousand spirit stones to allow Liu Rumei to escape from the Sun family's bondage and regain her freedom."

"As for the betrothal gift Wang Kun gave to the Sun family, it has also been returned in full by the Sun family."

Having said that, Li Zimo paused slightly, and glanced at Wang Kun with a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

"As for the conflict with Wang Kun, he was the one who initiated it. I was just acting in self-defense."

"After he was injured, I didn't take advantage of him. Instead, I gave him the opportunity to release the jade slip for help."

"All of this was witnessed by the surrounding people. If you don't believe it, you can ask them for confirmation."

Leng Ruyan had sharp hearing and recognized the familiar voice from the sound, it was Li Zimo.

This discovery made her frown slightly, as if she was a little surprised or displeased by Li Zimo's sudden appearance.

Then, her gaze was like a sharp blade, shooting towards Wang Kun mercilessly.

Those eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could penetrate Wang Kun's disguise and look directly into the dark corners of his heart.

"What he said is true?"

Her tone was cold and unquestionable, as if any lie Wang Kun told would be exposed immediately.

Under Leng Ruyan's gaze, Wang Kun's face turned pale and blue, and he finally had to bow his head and admit defeat.

"Yes, sir, everything he said is true."

Leng Ruyan nodded, then winked at the two young girls beside her.

They immediately obeyed the order, walked quickly towards the crowd of onlookers, and began to ask what had happened.

Soon, Xiaoyu came back with the investigation results, with a look of confirmation on her face.

"Sir, we have asked, and the situation is exactly as the young man in black said."

Leng Ruyan's expression remained stern upon hearing this. Her tone was calm but carried an unquestionable majesty:

"Wang Kun, you committed a crime in the street today, actively provoking and injuring others. Although no serious consequences were caused, you have seriously violated the laws of the Empire."

"According to the law, you can choose to pay a fine of 20,000 spirit stones or serve one year in prison."

"You, choose for yourself."

Wang Kun's face turned even paler when he heard this. He knew that the suffering in prison was far beyond his ability to endure, so he quickly responded:

"Sir, I am willing to pay 20,000 spirit stones."

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out an exquisite storage bag from his arms and handed it to Leng Ruyan with trembling hands.

The storage bag was filled with 20,000 heavy spirit stones.

Leng Ruyan took the storage bag and used her spiritual sense to check it briefly. After confirming that it was correct, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Then, she said coldly:

"Go away! Remember this lesson. If you dare to break the law again, your crime will be even more severe and you will be punished without mercy!"

After hearing this, Wang Kun felt as if he had been pardoned. He thanked the man repeatedly and then left the scene in disgrace like a stray dog.

Li Zimo and Liu Rumei smiled at each other, then bowed to Leng Ruyan with a respectful and sincere attitude:

"Thank you, Lord Leng, for enforcing the law impartially and clearing our name."

Leng Ruyan nodded slightly, but her eyes involuntarily turned to Li Zimo, with a hint of inquiry and questioning in her eyes:

"Li Zimo, when did you enter the realm of a warrior? You're still wearing a black cloak and a mask, but what shameful things have you done?"

Facing Leng Ruyan's questioning, Li Zimo still kept a smile on his face and spoke in a relaxed tone:

"Lord Leng, you're joking. Dressing up is just a personal hobby and doesn't violate any imperial law."

Leng Ruyan heard this and sneered, with a tone of unquestionable majesty:

"Hmph, you're such a coward! I'm warning you, you'd better not let me find out that you're involved in anything illegal. Now, get out of here."

Li Zimo didn't take Leng Ruyan's warning seriously. He just smiled faintly and bowed again, saying:

"Master Leng, we will take our leave now."

After saying that, he gently put his arm around Liu Rumei's slender and soft waist and walked towards Qimengxuan together.

The back figure is elongated in the sunset, appearing particularly harmonious.
