Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 672 - 670: Trouble After All_1

Wang Zhan smiled faintly. After all, he might need to spend the upcoming period in Tianxiong City, so naturally, he needed to maintain a good relationship with Ju Tian'en.

"Don't put it that way. 'Arrangement' is too strong a word; we just need to discuss and decide together."

"Moreover, if you are willing, the position of Vice City Lord can be given to you."

"After all, there are most complex issues within the city. I suppose it wouldn't be easy for you to handle them; otherwise, this position of City Lord could even be filled by you."

Wang Zhan and Ju Tian'en walked shoulder to shoulder toward the center of Tianxiong City.

Admittedly, Ju Tian'en's sincerity was more than enough.

Wang Zhan, however, had no interest in these things. If it weren't for the people in the fifth war zone insisting on him becoming a War God, he wouldn't have stayed in the fifth war zone for so long. After all, the greater the responsibility, the more tasks are required.

"No, everything should be decided by you. Besides, there is no need to give me the position of Vice City Lord. I can merely be a foot soldier, safeguarding Tianxiong City is enough."

Wang Zhan laughed and shrugged. "And in the near future, if the demonic beasts do not continue to harass Tianxiong City, I may have to leave."

"Leave?"

"Does Brother Wang have something he needs to handle? Is there anything I can help with?" Ju Tian'en immediately looked at Wang Zhan in confusion.

Wang Zhan smiled, shook his head, and continued, "There's no urgent matter to attend to. I just want to advance my strength. If I stay in Tianxiong City for too long, life would be too comfortable, and the progress of my cultivation would naturally become most slow."

Hearing this, Ju Tian'en immediately gave Wang Zhan a thumbs-up, shaking his head repeatedly. "Indeed, there's no comparison between people. The people in Tianxiong City just want to live in peace, undisturbed by the beasts outside. I never expected Brother Wang to actively want to go out and confront the demonic beasts. Truly, there's a huge disparity between individuals."

Wang Zhan didn't respond. After all, he had come to the Star War Battlefield with tasks he needed to fulfill. Regardless of any obstacle ahead, he couldn't slacken his pace.

In the blink of an eye, they had both entered Tianxiong City. When the surrounding crowd saw Wang Zhan, they immediately began to cheer. They had all witnessed the battle in the sky; if not for Wang Zhan, Tianxiong City would have already become a pile of ruins.

Wang Zhan found it hard to resist the crowd's enthusiasm. He pointed to a hotel not far away and said, "My friends are still in there, so I'll head over first."

Ju Tian'en nodded and then said, "Brother Wang, how about this: if you don't mind, why don't you come and stay with me in the City Lord's Mansion? My place is large enough, so it's no problem at all if you bring your friends along."

"And this way, we'll have most time to discuss how to deal with these demonic beasts."

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, if that's the case, then I'll trouble you."

"Brother Wang, you're too kind! You're my lifesaver. And now you're preparing to stay in Tianxiong City to help everyone fight against the demonic beasts, which sufficiently proves your righteous nature. So how could we possibly find you bothersome?"

Wang Zhan just smiled and didn't say anything more, then he walked toward the hotel.

He reached the hotel quickly. But just as he was about to go upstairs, he suddenly heard footsteps from behind. His expression immediately turned most sour.

He quickly turned his head. Sure enough, the people behind him were Xiang Tian and Luo Xue. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Seeing the two of them, Wang Zhan coldly asked, "I told you to stay properly in Tianxiong City and protect Han Xue. What did you do? Sneak out while I wasn't looking?"

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue had hurried back as fast as they could. Unfortunately, there was only one entrance to Tianxiong City, so even if they sped up, they still hadn't managed to return before Wang Zhan.

"Brother Wang, weren't we just trying to quickly improve our cultivation so we wouldn't drag you down? We didn't mean anything else," Luo Xue, standing beside him, said, wringing her hands and smiling faintly.

Wang Zhan glared at her, then pointed at both of them and said, "Let me tell you, this is the last time, and the only time. If I find out you've secretly slipped away again, then don't blame me for telling you both to get lost."

"It just so happens that both of you are from the fifth war zone, so you two can go back together."

Hearing this, Luo Xue's expression changed rapidly. She quickly scurried to Wang Zhan's side, grabbed his arm, and shook it repeatedly. "Brother Wang, I was just joking with you! Don't worry, from now on, I'll definitely listen to you. Besides, it wasn't even my idea to go out this time. It was Xiang Tian who kept tempting me, and in the end, I couldn't resist the temptation and left with him. But don't worry, this will absolutely never happen again. I'll even help you keep an eye on him."

Xiang Tian, standing to the side, was stunned. "Luo Xue, what are you saying?"

"And you? Don't you know what you were doing?"

"I did want to go out by myself at the time, but you were the one constantly following me. And now you're blaming me?"

Luo Xue pouted at him. Xiang Tian really is a cluelessly stubborn man. Would it kill him to help her out a little?

"I haven't even addressed you yet. What gives you the right to ramble on so much?" Wang Zhan glared at Xiang Tian and continued, "Didn't I also tell you to stay properly in the hotel? Now you're telling me with such self-righteousness that you went out too. Do you still have the nerve to lecture others here?"

Xiang Tian looked completely embarrassed. He scratched his head and then said, "Brother Wang, I really didn't mean to go against you. I just heard that the battle situation outside was quite urgent and was worried that something uncontrollable might happen on the battlefield. That's why I rushed out, all to protect everyone in Tianxiong City, and of course, to share your burdens."

"Actually, have you considered this: even if all of us had stayed in the hotel, what if those warriors couldn't withstand the beast's attack? In the end, Tianxiong City would still become the beast's territory, and we would find ourselves in an even more dangerous situation."

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more.

Then, the three of them headed toward the room.

However, just as they opened the door to the room, they all froze. There was no one inside.

"Where's Han Xue?"

Wang Zhan's eyes widened. At first, he hadn't really trusted Han Xue much, so he had always maintained a certain vigilance towards her. But now, after spending more time together, it seemed there were no issues with Han Xue. Why did he need to worry so much? Naturally, his relationship with Han Xue had improved considerably.

He just never imagined that he wouldn't be able to find Han Xue at this moment.

Xiang Tian, standing beside him, frowned and said, "Han Xue must be playing a joke on us, right? I wonder where she's hiding."

He quickly began to search the room carefully. But the room wasn't large, so after looking around once, he still hadn't found any trace of Han Xue.

Luo Xue also quickly started searching inside and outside the hotel. After all, if Han Xue went missing, they would truly have no way to explain it to Wang Zhan.

However, after searching all over, they still couldn't find Han Xue.

This time, Wang Zhan's face instantly became most unsightly. "I told you all to stay in the room to prevent any problems. After all, if all of you were together, you could look out for each other. But you just wouldn't do as I said. Now look, you've lost Han Xue. If anything happens to her, you two will bear direct responsibility."

"And if you can't find her, both of you can pack your things and get lost, back to the fifth war zone."

Hearing this, both their faces turned most grim. They then headed out of the hotel and began to search meticulously.

Wang Zhan didn't stay in the room either, taking it easy. Instead, he quickly went downstairs.

Just as he reached the front desk, the service staff member standing there looked at Wang Zhan respectfully.

By now, everyone in Tianxiong City recognized Wang Zhan. After all, if it weren't for him, Tianxiong City would have already become a pile of ruins. Everyone would have been displaced.

"Mr. Wang, is there something you need?" the service staff member asked respectfully, bowing slightly.

Wang Zhan simply described Han Xue's appearance and asked, "Have you seen the little girl I'm talking about?"

"Little girl?"

The service staff member shook his head, then frowned and said, "As soon as the battle started on the battlefield, I immediately closed the hotel doors. Both the front and back doors were secured, and no one was allowed in or out. So, if she was in the hotel the whole time, she shouldn't have been able to leave."

Wang Zhan's expression changed. Could Han Xue really be playing hide-and-seek with them? Although Han Xue was young and quite playful, Wang Zhan could tell she definitely wasn't the type to cause trouble. And right now, the entire Tianxiong City was constantly in a state of alert, so it was impossible for Han Xue to be playing hide-and-seek with them at such a critical time.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan's expression shifted once more.

His gaze fell upon the service staff member again, and he quickly asked, "Well, has anything strange happened in Tianxiong City recently?"

"No."
