Chapter 1003 Card
Chapter 1003 Card
When Xiang Nan returned to the inn empty-handed with guilt in his heart, he discovered that Miss Ruyan had already left.
There was only a letter left on the table.
Xiang Nan did not turn on the light. He moved his chair and sat quietly in front of the window. Then, the moonlight went to read the words on the letter.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Xiang, for suddenly leaving without saying hello to you."
"I know you really want to help me, just like when we first met, you risked your life to help me and my sister."
"However, there are some things that are related to personal honor and disgrace. You must personally solve them. I believe that you must understand this feeling very well."
"Just like the first time we parted ways, I still wish you a bright future."
"I'm sorry I didn't get to eat the Lotus Leaf Roasted Chicken you personally bought. I'm fine, so there's no need to worry about it."
"There's a long way to go. See you later, Miss Ruyan."
Xiang Nan closed the envelope, and Miss Ru Yan's body fragrance was still left on the envelope.
Sitting in front of the window, he was silent for a long time and felt an indescribable sour in his heart.
Once, when she was in her most desperate state, when her family was at the end of the road, it was she who stood up and pulled back the Xiang family, who was on the verge of despair.
Nowadays, she was also faced with her family's problems, but she had no way to help her.
"Up until now, she is still thinking about me."
Xiang Nan sighed. He knew that she did not want him to get involved, nor did she want him to be implicated.
The Huangpu Aristocrat Clan was an enormous force that could cover the sky with one hand. She did not want herself to get involved in this muddy water and become unable to extricate herself.
Xiang Nan didn't do anything all night. He just kept recalling every detail of his relationship with Miss Ruyan in front of the window.
This meeting was very unexpected. Neither Xiang Nan nor Miss Ruyan had expected it. However, their separation was also very hasty.
Xiang Nan realized that the Huangpu Aristocrat Clan's problem might be a little big this time, otherwise, Miss Ruyan's performance would not have been so abnormal.
He took out a message and said to it, "Feng Xuan, help me investigate the current situation of the Huangpu Aristocrat Clan. Remember, do it according to your strength. You must ensure that you can stay out of this."
With that, he sent the message flying.
In the Far North, I don't know when the messenger will be able to fly to the Southern Domain. I'm afraid it'll take at least two months.
Early the next morning, the entire Amethyst City became lively.
Today was the opening ceremony of the competition. All the influential people in the city went to the arena.
The arena that could accommodate a hundred thousand spectators suddenly became a little inadequate on this day.
The entire Pine Tree Avenue was packed with people from the streets to the end of the alley. Everyone held money and tickets high up in their hands.
There were too many people. Many people who had clearly bought tickets were blocked at the end of the street because they couldn't squeeze in. They were all sweating profusely and cursing endlessly.
Xiang Nan stood at the end of the street. Seeing this, he realized that he might not be able to enter.
However, he had to find Old Man Tian Ji as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, some gorgeous carriages passed through a small alley beside Pine Boulevard.
"Those people should also be attending the opening ceremony, right?" Xiang Nan pondered for a moment before following a large number of gorgeous carriages into the alley.
Only then did he realize that this alley was a "VIP passageway" that was strictly guarded by military guards in the city. Only those with high status could enter the arena directly from here.
The distinguished guests jumped out of the carriage and showed their invitations. Then, they went down an inclined staircase and entered the underground passageway.
Even so, because there were too many rich people in this alley, they had to queue up.
By the time the queue reached Xiang Nan, he was in a bit of a dilemma.
The two guards stopped Xiang Nan and politely said, "Please show me your invitation letter."
Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment before suddenly thinking, "May I ask if this arena competition is officially sponsored, or is it a private one?"
When the two guards heard Xiang Nan's question, they knew that he was not an honored guest. One of them said impolitely, "There is no invitation letter. Please leave this place."
The other guard had a good temper and said to Xiang Nan, "The arena competition is jointly organized by several large clans. We only received orders from the City Lord to help maintain order."
"Oh?" Xiang Nan came to his senses. He took out a small card and handed it to the two guards.
One of them took the card and saw that it was black. There were 18 pentagrams on it. He was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Xiang Nan said, "Show this to the manager of the organizer. He will understand."
The guard left doubtfully with the card in his hand.
"Hurry up! Get lost if you can't get in!"
"Who is blocking the way? Don't waste my time. I still want to go in and participate in the opening ceremony!"
The people behind had already started to curse the streets.
Xiang Nan ignored them and waited quietly.
Not long after, a middle-aged man ran over hurriedly. When he ran to Xiang Nan's side, he was still panting. It seemed that he ran quite far.
"Excuse me." The middle-aged man held Xiang Nan's Martial God card and wiped his sweat as he said, "Is this card yours?"
Xiang Nan nodded.
"Is it yours or your friend's?" The man asked. "I must confirm that."
Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "A friend gave it to me."
The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "I see. I thought Master Lei Gui had personally come. It doesn't look like your age."
"Since your identity is special, please follow me. I will personally bring you in."
After saying that, the middle-aged man respectfully led the way in front of him, while Xiang Nan followed behind him with astonishment in his heart.
I didn't expect that Grandmaster Lei Gui's name would spread so far! From the Eastern Region to the Northern Region, it seems like this Martial God card is really awesome. That Death Eye is not lying.
"Why should he be personally brought in by the person in charge?"
"That's right, who is he! I'm a super big shot. If you don't believe me, go and ask around."
When those distinguished guests saw Xiang Nan's special treatment, they couldn't hold back any longer and felt that their identities were being discriminated against.
As a result, no one paid any attention to their complaints. The guards continued to strictly control the order of the scene.
Xiang Nan followed the person in charge into the arena. At this moment, only one-third of the spectators in the arena had entered.
The person in charge respectfully returned the card to Xiang Nan and said, "Since all the VIP rooms in the arena were reserved two years ago, I really can't make room for you."
'"Please feel wronged and watch the opening ceremony in the spectator stands. May I ask if you are satisfied with the arrangement? If you are not satisfied, please give me two hours. I will definitely find a way to free up a private room for you."
Xiang Nan really did not expect that this Martial God card would bring him such a respectful treatment. He said, "No need, I'm fine here."
"Alright then." The person in charge sighed and said, "It's my honor to be able to serve you. In ten minutes, I will send someone to bring you the highest standard key to the inn in Amethyst City, as well as 80% of the restricted area passes."
"If you need anything, we can arrange for you to have dinner with the City Lord tonight."
"Here is a one million gold storage card. Please keep it. At this time, your Martial God's overdraft this week. If you need it, please call me at any time."
After saying that, the person in charge bowed to Xiang Nan and left.
Xiang Nan was stunned. He held the coin storage card in his hand and couldn't react for a while.
"This … this card is actually this powerful?"
