Chapter 250 Take the opportunity to leave
When Chen Yan heard Pei Xuan's praise, his heart was filled with joy. He smiled and toasted with everyone else.
After a few rounds, he became so excited that he lost himself in alcohol without realizing it.
His cheeks flushed, his eyes were blurry, and his speech began to become slurred.
But even so, he still insisted on toasting to express his gratitude to everyone.
Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan couldn't help laughing when they saw Chen Yan.
They knew that although Chen Yan was young, his heart was full of justice and passion.
Being able to fight side by side this time also gave them a deeper understanding and knowledge of Chen Yan.
The celebration banquet continued amidst laughter and joy. Everyone raised their glasses and cheered for the peace and victory of the Fog City.
Lei Tingyi walked up to Pei Xuan and spoke softly.
"City Lord, may I have a word with you?"
There was a hint of solemnity in his tone, as if there was something important that needed to be discussed.
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan immediately nodded in agreement.
He knew that Lei Tingyi always acted prudently, and now that he asked to talk to him for a moment, there must be something urgent.
So he followed Lei Tingyi to the side, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
"Master Lei, what do you need to discuss?"
Pei Xuan asked, his eyes revealing some concern and expectation.
Lei Tingyi glanced at Pei Xuan and spoke slowly.
"City Lord, I have some ideas and suggestions about the defense of Fog City. Although we have resolved the monster's attack this time, there is no guarantee that there won't be a next time. I think we should strengthen Fog City's defenses to prevent it from happening again."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan nodded solemnly.
He knew that Lei Tingyi was right and the defense of Fog City did need to be strengthened.
Lei Tingyi looked at Pei Xuan, his tone serious and sincere.
"Besides that, there is one more small matter that I would like to trouble the city lord with."
Pei Xuan smiled, appearing very generous.
"Master Lei, just speak up. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."
Lei Tingyi did not hesitate and spoke directly.
"It's like this, Jiuan and I plan to leave tonight. As for Chen Yan, I want him to stay in Wudu City for a while and gain more experience."
Pei Xuan was stunned after hearing this, and then he suddenly realized.
"Master Lei, is this to fulfill his engagement with Ling'er and allow them to spend more time together?"
Lei Tingyi nodded, a gentle light flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, Chen Yan and Pei Ling are destined to be together, and I hope they can be happy. Moreover, Chen Yan has great potential, and letting him stay in Fog City for a while will also be beneficial to his future growth."
When Pei Xuan heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He knew that Lei Tingyi not only cared about the safety of Fog City, but also the growth and happiness of every young person.
He looked at Lei Tingyi gratefully and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Master Lei. I will take good care of Chen Yan, so that he can gain something during this time, and he can spend more time with Ling'er."
Lei Tingyi cupped his hands, with a hint of request in his tone.
"Then please help me, City Lord. The other four of us will leave the city tonight. We have some personal matters to take care of. I hope the City Lord can understand."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan immediately nodded in agreement.
"Master Lei, rest assured. I will arrange for someone to take you out of the city tonight. Be careful on your way. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
Lei Tingyi looked at Pei Xuan gratefully and bowed again.
"Thank you, City Lord. We will be careful. Please take care of Chen Yan and let him grow here."
Pei Xuan smiled and patted Lei Tingyi on the shoulder.
"Master Lei, rest assured. Leave Chen Yan to me. Have a safe trip. I look forward to seeing you next time."
Just like that, Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan, along with Liu Zhu and Liu Ying, quietly left the Fog City that night under Pei Xuan's arrangement.
Chen Yan, on the other hand, stayed in Fog City and started his new life and experience.
After leaving the Fog City, Ling Jiuan looked at Lei Tingyi with a puzzled look and asked in confusion.
"Aren't we taking Chen Yan with us? Wouldn't he be lonely if he stayed alone in Fog City?"
Lei Tingyi smiled and explained.
"City Lord Pei wants to keep him and Miss Pei to cultivate their relationship, so we naturally cannot bring him along. Besides, Chen Yan also needs experience, and staying in Fog City is a good opportunity for him."
After listening to Lei Tingyi's explanation, Ling Jiuan nodded to show his understanding.
He did understand that Chen Yan and Pei Ling were engaged, so it would be a good thing for them to spend more time together.
Moreover, Chen Yan also needs time and opportunities to grow and gain experience.
"Yes, Chen Yan needs this opportunity to gain experience and grow."
Ling Jiuan said softly, feeling happy for Chen Yan in his heart.
He knew that Chen Yan would definitely cherish this opportunity and work hard to improve his cultivation and strength.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Pei Xuan looked at Chen Yan who was drunk on the table, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He sighed softly and whispered to himself.
"Don't blame your uncle. It's just that you are still unclear about your relationship with Ling'er, which makes Master Lei feel a sense of crisis. I hope you can understand my intention."
However, Chen Yan knew nothing about these words. He just turned over and accidentally fell off the stool to the ground.
Pei Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
He raised his hand and gave instructions to the servants.
"Someone, help Young Master Chen go down to rest."
The servants immediately stepped forward, carefully helped Chen Yan up, and then supported him out of the banquet hall.
Pei Xuan looked at Chen Yan's departing back, silently wishing that he could understand his feelings soon, and also looking forward to his growth and gains in Fog City.
Pei Ling watched Chen Yan being helped away, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
She turned to look at her father Pei Xuan, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Dad, are you trying to force me? Chen Yan..."
He really doesn't like her!
If he were trapped in this world, he would probably hate himself to death.
Pei Xuan shook his head and interrupted his daughter.
"No, if he wants to leave, I won't stop him. I just hope he can stay a little longer and spend more time with you, Ling'er, so that he can have the opportunity to gain experience and grow."
Agreeing to Lei Tingyi was just a favor.
As for more, Pei Xuan won't do it.
Why would his daughter do this?
Pei Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
She knew that her father was not trying to force them, but was doing so out of concern and expectation for them.
She nodded slightly to show that she understood her father's intention.
At the same time, she also secretly made up her mind to spend more time with Chen Yan during this period and work hard to cultivate their relationship.
If it really doesn't work, she won't force it.
Just assume that they are not destined to be together!
