In the afternoon, Ren Xiaosu, Yan Liuyuan, and Luo Lan swaggered out of the house. Yan Liuyuan was a little worried at first, but after Luo Lan joined them, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
This fatty, who could eat a lot, was quite loyal at times.
The three of them set off after lunch. They first took a streetcar to a place called Fuxing Road before changing to another streetcar to continue heading north.
They were dressed in ordinary clothes, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
When they arrived at the terminal, they had to continue walking north. Luo Lan suddenly said, "Ren Xiaosu, why don't you come with me to the Kyung Clan's territory in the near future?"
"Huh?" Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan. "Why?"
"I know you're not a normal person. A normal person wouldn't have survived the destruction of three strongholds. Of course, I'm not trying to make use of you. You can do whatever you want in the Kyung Clan's territory." Luo Lan said casually, "Of course, if you're willing to help us, I can get Qing Zhen to pay you."
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "There's no need for that. I'm not used to living in the stronghold."
When he said that, Yan Liuyuan's eyes lit up. He realized Ren Xiaosu had already made up his mind. It was just that he did not know where Ren Xiaosu had decided to go.
However, it was not a problem for Yan Liuyuan to go wherever he wanted. He could even follow Ren Xiaosu to occupy the stronghold and become the king.
Of course, this would have to wait for Ren Xiaosu to recuperate for a period of time. They would also have to wait for the right opportunity. Right now, the Yang Clan would probably not let them go.
At this moment, Luo Lan said, "Since you're not used to living in the stronghold, I'll arrange for you to stay in town. Y 'all used to live in town, right? That shouldn't be a problem."
This sentence suddenly moved Ren Xiaosu. Humans were social animals. If he became friends with Luo Lan Qing Zhen, it seemed that many problems would be easily solved.
Ren Xiaosu did not answer the question directly. He smiled and said, "Why don't you think about how to leave this place? I don't think the Yang Clan will let you go back."
"That's fine," Luo Lan said nonchalantly, "Qing Zhen will definitely arrange for someone to save me. I'll just wait patiently. At that time, if you want to leave the Yang Clan's stronghold, you'll have to leave with me! "
This time, Ren Xiaosu felt that the information Luo Lan had revealed was very crucial. Qing Zhen would definitely save Luo Lan, and he could even bring his Sister Xiaoyu and the others with him at that time.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the closeness between Luo Lan and Qing Zhen was just like the closeness he had with Yan Liuyuan. They did not need to communicate any information to each other, but they both firmly believed that the other would definitely do something for them.
This was a tacit understanding between them, as well as a trust that they could entrust their lives to. It was just like when he was at Stronghold 108. Even if the Experimentals were about to catch up to them, Yan Liuyuan would still die with him even if he had to die.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu felt that Fatty Luo had become a little more amiable.
At this moment, several cars suddenly passed by them. If they continued north, they would arrive at the Yang Clan's Qingyang Manor. It looked like these people were going to attend the banquet.
Luo Lan noticed Ren Xiaosu's gaze, so he explained with a smile, "Don't be fooled by the fact that they're driving such fancy cars to attend such a grand banquet. The people who attend such banquets are usually the so-called socialites, such as the director of the Logistics Division or the director of the Commerce Division. They might look like they're putting on airs on a daily basis, but if they get into trouble, they might even be worse off than dogs."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. It seemed like Yan Liuyuan had even killed the director of the Li Consortium's Logistics Division while he was on the run? Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu really looked down on these people.
In this era of the rise of supernatural beings, absolute power seemed to be starting to have an impact on the original social order. Ren Xiaosu also realized that when he looked at these people, he would have a condescending mentality.
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. This was the mentality that came with the increase in power. He had to be more clear-headed. After all, it was not time for him to be complacent yet.
As for Luo Lan, he used to be the de facto ruler of Stronghold 113, so he naturally looked down on the so-called socialites in the stronghold. As long as this fatty safely returned to the Kyung Clan, he could foresee himself becoming one of the most powerful people in the world.
Of course, whether he could make it back was another matter.
As luxury cars passed by them one by one, no one stopped their cars to mock them for walking here. Everyone was very busy, and no one even thought they were also going to attend the banquet.
In contrast, the socialites were dressed up nicely and were taking luxury cars to attend the banquet. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu and the others were walking there in casual clothes.
It seemed like the person from the Yang Clan who invited them here wanted to use this direct method to tell them that refugees did not have the chance to integrate into that social class.
When they arrived at the entrance, the security guards immediately came over to check their invitations. Luo Lan handed over their invitations. Ren Xiaosu could see that the security guards were surprised for a moment, so he politely opened the door and let them in.
Luo Lan smiled as he walked inside. "The watchdogs of these wealthy families are all very smart. As long as you have an invitation, he won't offend you no matter what you wear. That's because your invitation was given by his master."
A lot of people were already standing on the lawn of the manor. As they toasted each other, each of them was holding a sparkling goblet in their hands.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Ren Xiaosu would not have believed that the people here were so different from the refugees outside.
Luo Lan stopped an attendant and took three glasses of wine from his tray. He handed them to Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan.
But just as Yan Liuyuan took the glass from him, Ren Xiaosu snatched it away from him. "Why are you kids drinking?"
With that, Ren Xiaosu placed the glass on the table next to him.
Then he heard someone talking. "I heard that someone important from the Soong Clan will be here tonight."
"Do you know who it is?" someone asked.
"I heard it's a young rookie who already holds a high position in the Soong Clan and is in charge of the garrison troops of Stronghold 141. Stronghold 141 is the headquarters of the Soong Clan," someone said.
Next to them, Luo Lan muttered, "The garrison troops are all for the members of the consortiums. What a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Someone said, "But I heard that the main guest of honor today isn't someone from the Soong Clan."
"Ah? Isn't it someone from the Soong Clan? "
"Yes, it seems like someone from Stronghold 178 has come as well. I heard that he's Zhang Jinglin's current favorite, and he's here to discuss a joint defense with the Yang Clan and the Soong Clan," the person who spoke answered.
"I heard that it's not a joint defense. It seems like they're going to join forces to eliminate the bandits in the unregulated zone and reopen the trade route between the three clans."
