Chapter 96 - 96. City Master
Only a few people entered the room where Fu Xie Lan was. The City Master, an old man who was the same age as Huang Bao, Wan Lie, Huang Bao, Xue Ning, three guards, while the rest of the guards following them stopped outside the room and stood guard.
A small movement of a girl who looked unconscious stopped people from entering the room. They stop for a few seconds then walking back.
"Check it out, how she is now," she said turning to the old man who was with her.
Fu Xie Lan heard this slowly she tried to open her eyelids. Acting like someone who just woke up from unconsciousness.
"Yes, Master," replied the old man approaching Fu Xie Lan.
When his hand reached out to touch the girl's body, a strong hand immediately from the side brushed his hand away.
"Don't even think about touching it," Gu Yi exclaimed in a voice neither big nor small.
"Tsk, this is an order from the City Master, don't get in my way, kid," said the old man again wanting to touch Fu Xie Lan's hand to check his pulse.
The City Lord who saw this immediately cleared her throat.
"Leave it alone, try to check the man over there too," she said later. Although she did not know who the man who was sitting between the two unconscious people was, one thing she did know. That the man cares and doesn't want anyone to touch another man wearing a mask next to him.
She had been the City Master for hundreds of years, there were many things she had encountered and faced. And that makes her more sensitive to her surroundings. Trying to understand and be sensitive to all things and feelings that may be experienced by others makes her sometimes cautious and seem wise.
The old man who heard the City Master's orders immediately moved away from Fu Xie Lan and approached the man opposite them, and examined him carefully. It seemed that the man was also a bit of an expert in the medical world.
Normalizing her expression, Fu Xie Lan turned to the few people who had already filled the room, her brows furrowed faintly as if she was in confusion.
"What happened?" she said, her gaze on the City Master, then on Huang Bao, and the people who were with them.
Seeing the Wizard regain consciousness, the City Master breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, introduce me, I am Xue Mei-mei, the owner of Kanca City," said the City Master, drawing closer to Fu Xie Lan.
"On behalf of me, I'm sorry for the inconvenience that has befallen you in this City," said Xue Mei Mei slightly bowing her body for a moment in apology. This is the first incident in decades. Indeed, when the City was just formed, conflict was still very difficult to avoid. Unlike now where Kanca City has received support from all races.
Fu Xie Lan just nodded. Slowly she got up and with a very slow movement, she leaned her body.
"City Master? Where is this?" asked Fu Xie Lan looking like she was confused.
Everyone who heard that sighed harshly when they heard Fu Xie Lan's words. Except for Gu Yi of course.
"In Kanca City. Let us check your condition," said the City Lord.
"why me?" asked Fu Xie Lan back.
"I feel a little better now," she added.
Huang Bao instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the way the girl spoke, it seemed that she was already fine. But that only eased his worries a little. He had to make sure of her condition to get rid of that feeling.
"Master, let me check it out," said Huang Bao suddenly and managed to make the City Master turn her head towards him.
"Elder Huang Bao?" said Xue Mei Mei when she realized who was behind her.
"Since when have you been here?" she added again immediately turned around.
"Hehe, I came with them to this city. They are my students," he explained.
The City Master's brow furrowed faintly.
"Your student?"
"Is it true?' she said again to make sure, she was not very familiar with the phoenix academy elder. But on several occasions, they met occasionally and because of his medical expertise, she knew little about the man. If she was right, the old man standing in front of her had never had a disciple. Let alone possessing it, she had even heard a rumor that elder indeed didn't want to take a disciple for one reason. Too troublesome.
And now all her confidence in the rumors was soon shattered when Huang Bao said to her that the person who was the victim of the explosion was his disciple.
She suddenly felt very bad. How could the disciple of an expert and the strongest person of the wizard race be injured in her place, Kanca City?
Huang Bao nodded in approval of the City Master's question.
"Alright, go ahead. I won't stop you," Xue Mei Mei said.
"But, before that. I'm sorry for this incident, your disciple got hurt because of my carelessness," she said again, she felt a little guilty. Because of her incompetence in maintaining the security of the City, so that someone was at the injury. Lucky because the disciple of the elder looks fine.
"It's okay Master, sometimes accidents are really hard to avoid," Huang Bao replied and then quickly walked past Xue Mei Mei and approached Fu Xie Lan.
"Let me check the condition of her body, My Lord," his voice whispered slightly.
"Alright, alright. I've also given you permission from earlier on," the City Master's voice reached everyone's listeners.
However, Huang Bao didn't move an inch after hearing that.
That elder, he didn't ask Xue Mei Mei for permission, but rather the man with the hood that covered part of his face. He didn't want the same thing to happen to him when he tried to touch the girl casually. Even though he was his disciple, the existence of the ruler of the Artland World made him slightly reckon with everything he would do especially if it was related to Fu Xie Lan.
Fu Xie Lan remained in her position, wearing a confused expression that was obvious to everyone.
While on the other hand, Gu Yi nodded faintly as if in approval and allowed the elder to examine Fu Xie Lan. Since long ago, when it comes to Huan Bao, he has never been worried in the slightest, if he is honest, the only wizard he trusts is him, Huang Bao, Maybe because of the closeness of his parents to the old man? However, the old man's attitude was always stiff. Even though, he had tried to be lenient and casual.
Huang Bao who had the approval of Lord Gu Yi heaved a sigh of relief after holding his breath for a while.
"Kid, let me check your condition," Elder Huang Bao said to Fu Xie Lan.
One of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows raised, slightly tilted her head looking at Huang Bao and the people in the room in turn.
"Who are you?" she asked looking at Huang Bao.
