Chapter 2443 You are not afraid of me? Why?
Ling Tian stood at the gate of the castle.
Turning to look at Wen Bing on the side, I found that he was lowering his head, but had lost consciousness.
Noticing Wen Bing's miserable condition, Ling Tian just took another look at him, but did not go forward to check on his condition or think about helping him.
My appearance in Jincheng and being noticed by the so-called city lord was all the work of this kid, so his life or death has nothing to do with me.
Ling Tian thought about it, turned around and walked into the castle.
Although he was not very interested in cooperating with the city lord, he wanted to refuse.
But if he wants to leave now, it will inevitably attract the attention of the city lord. If he attacks him directly at that time, the outcome is predictable.
So in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Ling Tian also walked into the castle and followed the old man's footsteps.
The interior of the castle is not as luxurious as it looks from the outside.
When you walk in, you can only see a huge space, like a living room, with only a few sofas and a table.
There is a slightly dilapidated staircase deep in the room, with signs of use, and it is estimated that it has been there for a long time.
While Ling Tian was observing, the old man slowly sat down on the sofa, turned his head and looked at Ling Tian and said, "Come and sit down. I've always wanted to meet you."
Hearing this, Ling Tian nodded, walked over and sat on the other side, then looked at the old man without saying a word.
In this situation, he absolutely cannot speak in advance.
After all, it is the city lord in front of him who wants to cooperate, not himself.
So he should be the one to start the conversation and then try to take the lead.
If you speak up in advance, you will be at a disadvantage and will not be able to gain enough benefits.
The old man noticed Ling Tian's silence and glanced at him with a hint of surprise. Then a smile appeared on his lips. His red eyes looked at Ling Tian and said, "I didn't expect you to be so patient. I thought you would be anxious to ask me, or... did Wen Bing not tell you?"
"I did." Ling Tian nodded. "But just tell me that you want to cooperate with me. I'll ask you about the rest. So, I'm waiting for you to explain it to me."
"Interesting." The old man smiled. "Everyone who has seen me before is very afraid of me. In order to avoid provoking me, they all act very proactively. No one has ever been like you. Like, aren't you afraid that I will attack you?"
"Maybe it's because I'm not afraid of death." Ling Tian shrugged. "I know you're quite strong. When you looked at me just now, if I wasn't a bit stronger, I would have been killed by you. But... that doesn't mean you're invincible. If you have any ill intentions towards me, I'll definitely give it my all."
Ling Tian spoke in a calm tone, looking at the old man in front of him, and spoke softly.
After hearing Ling Tian's words, the old man still had a smile on his face, but nodded unconsciously and said, "Yes, I heard about you from Wang Yong. He said you are fearless, and the most terrifying thing is that you are very smart. Seeing you today, it is true. I am very satisfied with you."
After he finished speaking, the old man slowly extended his hand towards Ling Tian and said, "My name is Lao Bing. As you can see, I'm not a human. I'm an ice beast. Is that surprising?"
"Not surprising." Ling Tian shook his head. "If a peak-level demon beast behaves like you, then its strength is nothing to be feared. Am I right?"
"You even know this?!" Lao Bing was obviously shocked.
He stared at Ling Tian blankly, his eyes full of confusion, but also a hint of admiration.
In fact, at first, Lao Bing heard about Ling Tian because Wang Yong came to him for help and wanted him to help kill Ling Tian.
Before hearing what Ling Tian had done, Lao Bing was still thinking about doing Wang Yong a favor and then carrying out his own plan.
However, after hearing what Ling Tian had done, Lao Bing suddenly became extremely interested in this human.
He was able to remain calm when facing a behemoth like the Wang family, and was able to create varying degrees of trouble for Wang Yong every time.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Lao Bing has seen such a smart human being.
Therefore, he refused to cooperate with Wang Yong and asked Wen Bing to go to Weicheng to take a look.
Unexpectedly, after meeting, this young man made her more and more satisfied.
So, after observing for a while, Lao Bing said softly, "Ling Tian, are you interested in becoming the deputy city lord of Jincheng? As you know, Wen Bing is already difficult to cure. I need a human to manage the city for me. I think you are suitable."
"Not interested in."
Before Lao Bing finished speaking, Ling Tian shook his head and refused.
He rejected it so quickly that Lao Bing didn't even have time to be surprised. He blurted out subconsciously, "Why?"
"Because I have things I need to do. If I stay in your Golden City, I won't be able to fulfill my pursuit."
"What are you pursuing?" Lao Bing raised an eyebrow. "What? Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you."
"I want to go to Central City."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Bing's mouth opened slightly, and an unprecedented look of surprise appeared on his old face.
His eyes were filled with shock and a hint of confusion. After a full minute of daze, he swallowed his saliva, but his voice trembled slightly as he said, "What do you mean? You want to go to Central City? That legendary city? Are you sure?! Are you just making up an excuse for me?"
"No." Ling Tian shook his head: "My goal has always been Central City. I know the process will be difficult, but my goal has never changed. I will definitely go there, and I will definitely achieve this goal."
Ling Tian's serious expression made Lao Bing fall into silence again.
The entire castle was silent. Ling Tian noticed that Lao Bing was in a daze, so he looked around, wanting to know what was in the castle.
Just after Ling Tian observed for about five minutes, Lao Bing came back to his senses and looked at Ling Tian. The contempt in his eyes was gone, but instead there was a hint of solemnity.
He stared at Ling Tian for nearly half a minute before whispering, "So... you believe in the existence of Central City? Don't you humans all think it's a legend? Don't you think so?"
Ling Tian shook his head. "I don't think so. I actually came through the passage and appeared in Weicheng. My goal was to find the passage in Weicheng and then leave. But... Wang Yong kept trying to stop me, which led to the subsequent conflict. If he hadn't disturbed me, he would probably still be the number one family in Weicheng."
"Oh? You even know about the passage? And you're looking for it?" After a moment of surprise, Lao Bing smiled and said, "If I had known your idea earlier, our cooperation would have been much smoother. After all... I know where the passage is!"
