please don't wear it

The development of things was somewhat beyond Yi Lian's expectations.

Although the original conversation was formal, there was no pressure. After all, from the outside, Bai Lizhao was just a young man with a lot of worries, and what the three of them talked about was nothing more than the general situation of this world.

Under such circumstances, Bai Lizhao's request seemed abrupt and inconceivable.

It's even... faintly uncomfortable.

Ren Wudao didn't speak immediately, he leaned on the back of the chair, looked down at Bai Lizhao, his expression didn't show any clues for a moment.

After a while, he raised the corner of his mouth, as if he thought the matter was a little funny: "What do you think?"

Bai Lizhao pursed his lips tightly into a straight line, without looking up.

"If I had other options, I wouldn't ask senior today." After a long while, he choked out a sentence, "It's just..."

He should be a person with strong self-esteem at ordinary times, but after a few words, his body began to tremble slightly, and his hands clenched into fists.

Ren Wudao just shook his head slightly.

"You can stand now," he said flatly.

Bai Lizhao shook his head and said, "Senior..."

Ren Wudao didn't say anything, and didn't even look at Baili Zhao again.He stood up and greeted Yi Lianzhen, which meant that he could go.

Yi Lian really hesitated to speak, turned to look at Bai Lizhao, but couldn't say anything.

"Senior," seeing them about to leave, Bai Lizhao finally raised his head, looked at them and hurriedly said, "The battle continues, and Huaiyang City has been severely damaged. If senior doesn't mind, I can provide you with a place to live..."

"No need," Ren Wudao stopped and answered him, "You will not be rewarded for your merits, as long as you do your work."

After speaking, he and Yi Lian really left the room.

Bai Lizhao was still kneeling on the ground, he stared blankly at the door, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it didn't work out, he did everything he could.Regardless of the outcome, he has done his best.

Perhaps it was Bai Lizhao who had greeted them in advance. When Yi Lianzhen and Ren Wudao walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, no one stopped or asked.

Yi Lian was somewhat preoccupied, and kept turning her head to look back all the way, until she felt that she had walked a long enough distance, before she opened her mouth uncertainly: "Baili Zhao...seems to be the protagonist of this book."

Ren Wudao glanced at him, a little surprised: "How likely is it?"

"Baili Zhao's aptitude is good," he added for Yi Lianzhen, "he also has a solid foundation, but his realm is not high, and overall he can only be regarded as mediocre."

"That should be it," Yi Lian really pondered, "In "The Battle of the World", the protagonist only appeared for a short while, and never mentioned it again after that. It should be developing freely."

It is understandable that the protagonist who develops freely loses the halo of the protagonist, and the life after that is not as satisfactory.

"Of course it could be someone else," Yi Lian really sighed, "After all, I have no impression of the protagonist in this book, but judging from his appearance and other aspects, let's just think it's Baili Zhao."

"Look?" Ren Wudao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Most of the protagonists are good-looking," Yi Lianzhen twitched her lips and explained, "Everyone likes good-looking people."

"Don't look at me like that," he clicked his tongue. "You're pretty enough—better than them all, okay?"

Ren Wudao didn't look back, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to emphasize something again, but he didn't say it out of face.

Yi Lianzhen: "..."

He ignored Ren Wudao, and continued: "But if Bai Lizhao is the protagonist...he must have had a miserable life."

Not only was he stationed on the front line where the two forces were fighting year after year, but he was also beaten to pieces, and he was reduced to kneeling down to beg for help.

It doesn't look like the protagonist of a fantasy novel, but rather a tragic male supporting role.

"You think he is pitiful?" Ren Wudao asked.

He doesn't want to help Bai Lizhao, but if Bai Lizhao is really the main character, whether to help or not is a matter of Yi Lianzhen's words.

"Is he pitiful..." Yi Lian hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't really know, after all, I only met him once, and he looks quite pitiful."

"But there are many poor people in this world." He stretched out his hand and scratched his head. "Actually, after reading the book "Battle of the World", I don't know which side is decent and which side is villain."

Or, there is no absolute right or wrong in a war that can be fought for so many years.

It is true that Xu Wanmeng launched the attack first, but if Chuyang Dao hadn't raised the price of spirit mines, Xu Wanmeng would not have been forced to this point.

But at the root, it seems that the uneven distribution of the world's spirit veins should be blamed—holding priceless treasures in their hands, no one is willing to take advantage of others.

Yi Lianzhen recalled, and analyzed according to Bai Lizhao's words: "The later the fight, the more complicated the situation. Just like what Bai Lizhao said just now, not only the Xu Wanmeng is attacking Chuyang Dao, but Chuyang Dao is trying to make the battlefield Staying away from the Spiritual Vein is also actively attacking the Syrian Wanmeng."

"This is a mess..." He shook his head and gave up thinking, "It's a good thing you didn't promise Baili Zhao just now, otherwise it would always feel weird."

"In a battle between two sides, if neither side is innocent, and if we help one side, what will the other side do?"

Yi Lianzhen said: "Baili Zhao has friends and relatives, but those who made the late alliance also have friends and relatives."

From his point of view, no matter what you do, the two camps should be treated equally.

Ren Wudao slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Bailizhao belongs to Chuyang Dao, and everything he says and does is based on his standpoint. You don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"We just have to do what we want to do and what we need to do."

Yi Lianzhen: "..."

Ren Wudao didn't say it was okay, but when he said it, he started to worry again.

Needs to be done...they need to get to the end of the book.

But this kind of unfinished book, how can there be any ending?

Until now, he didn't know whether the so-called ending was "all monks died" or "a meteorite fell from the sky at a specific place".

"Can you send meteorites?" He asked without hope, "How about we try?"

Ren Wudao was silent for a while, obviously not interested in his suggestion.

"It's a long-term plan," he said, "I'd better find you something to eat first."

When they came to this world, all the food they brought in the palm of the sky was given to Sister Ge Zhen, and Yi Lian left nothing for herself.

In this situation, being able to live without eating has become a super cheat.Although you will feel hungry, Yi Lian really doesn't care about it, and you can still live if you carry it.

But Ren Wudao did not support it, thinking that no matter what, he must find something to eat.

"Ge Zhen and the others don't have money," he said, "but we don't lack these, so you don't need to wrong yourself."

But two hours later, they searched half of Huaiyang City, and found that even if they paid a high price, the food they received was lacklustre.

Most of them are... things that Yi Lianzhen would never eat in normal times.

Grass roots, thin wild vegetables, dried fish smaller than a finger, biscuits made by mixing white mud and some kind of insect... The best one is a flying bird half the size of a swan, it should be some kind of magical beast, meat There was a fishy smell.

"The fairy elders are always fighting," the food seller said with a blank expression, "We don't understand those spells and flames, but the nearby land can't grow anything."

"Nothing is as expensive as food now, no matter how rich you are, you can only buy these."

Yi Lian's expression changed again and again, after all, he still didn't want anything - if he was allowed to eat these, he would rather be hungry all the time.

No wonder Ge Zhen survived wandering in the Gobi for more than ten days. It turned out that she also ate this kind of food in the city.

"When I'm in this world, I still don't want to eat anything," he walked beside Ren Wudao with no energy, "Although I'm a little hungry now, but..."

He sighed and didn't know where to start: "I know that the monks' wars have brought disasters, but I didn't expect ordinary people to live so hard, and they can't even eat a decent meal..."

It's been decades, and I'm afraid it's younger people who don't know what delicious food tastes like.

Ren Wudao also sighed softly: "Many monks' spells carry curses or destructive powers. If they are used without hesitation, they will indeed cause such consequences."

After starting to practice, most monks would not care too much about mortals, even him, not to mention those monks who fought to the death on the battlefield.

As he said that, he grabbed Yi Lianzhen's hand and handed him a small pancake: "It will only be a few days, leave Huaiyang City and see what it looks like elsewhere."

"Okay," Yi Lian answered the words smoothly, suddenly realized something was wrong, and looked at Ren Wudao in astonishment, "Where did you get these pancakes from?"

The small pancake Ren Wudao gave him was no bigger than the palm of his hand, the surface was fried golden brown, sprinkled with a lot of sesame seeds, it was what they bought in the last world, Yi Lianzhen hadn't tasted it yet.

"Didn't we give all the pancakes to Mrs. Ge?" He asked Ren Wudao.

Ren Wudao smiled: "You haven't eaten yet, I'm reluctant to give them all, and I secretly left a piece for you."

"It's of no use to them at all," he said calmly, "but that shop is famous, and it's said to taste good, I just want you to try it."

Yi Lian really looked at the little pancake in her hand seriously.

Ren Wudao only left him a piece, which was not as big as the palm of his hand, so he couldn't fill his stomach at all, so he really had to taste it.

Yi Lian tried to bite it down, but it was unexpectedly burnt and crispy.

"As expected of a celebrity," he boasted fiercely, "It's really delicious!"

Then, he suddenly thought of something, and broke off half of the remaining pancakes and handed them to Ren Wudao: "Try it too, can you still eat after bigu? Anyway, I can't eat enough..."

Ren Wudao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, took the small piece of pancake, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.

Yi Lian was really satisfied, and went up to her to think about her relatives.

But before he could move, there was a loud noise in the sky.

He turned his head away in astonishment.

On the other side of Huaiyang City, the sky suddenly turned pure black, intertwined with golden waves like waves, like a fairy coming with the night.

In the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, a few people flew out of the building in the distance.

Ren Wudao frowned slightly.

"Baili Zhao is right," he said, "I just didn't expect the people from Xu Wanmeng to come so quickly."

The author has something to say:
