Chapter 1712 - Forcefully Left Behind
After speaking, Liu Wuxie turned and walked out of the main hall. He didn't want to remain in the City Lord Mansion for even another second.Chen An couldn't see through Liu Wuxie's thoughts, but he still followed him without hesitation. In any case, it was enough that the City Lord Mansion knew the Peace and Stability Merchant Association had saved the city lord.
"Young Master, you have exhausted a great deal of your energy to refine the pills, and it's already late at night. I really insist you stay in the City Lord Mansion for one night, and allow us to express our gratitude," Ye Linghan urged.
Several guards appeared in front of Liu Wuxie's group and blocked their path. Their purpose was simple. Although the treatment had suppressed the city lord's poison, no one knew whether hidden dangers still lurked within his body. They had to confirm that he was completely safe before allowing Liu Wuxie to leave.
"Is this how the City Lord Mansion treats guests?" Liu Wuxie asked, anger flickering across his face.
"Young Master, you've misunderstood. The Young Lady truly bears no ill intention," a guest elder from the City Lord Mansion replied as he stepped forward and politely gestured for Liu Wuxie's group to stay. Naturally, the guest elders all understood Ye Linghan's intention.
"It's fine. Let's make do here for a night," Chen An said, tugging Liu Wuxie lightly and signaling him not to argue further.
After traveling widely for years, Chen An had accumulated plenty of experience. He could naturally tell that keeping them here was no different from placing them under house arrest.
As for Divine Physician Wei, the guards had broken his legs and thrown him out of the City Lord Mansion. After all, his treatment had nearly killed the city lord.
Several guards escorted Liu Wuxie and the others to an independent courtyard, and two guards were stationed outside their gate. This meant Liu Wuxie's group could only move within the courtyard, and the guards would restrict them the moment they tried to step outside.
Everyone had been traveling for the past two days and had long since grown exhausted.
"Go and rest," Chen An said.
