“Nuan Nuan?!” Wang Mu rushed forward at a speed that did not match his huge body and grabbed the girl’s arm. “Why are you here?”

Lu Nuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at him for a long while before hesitantly asking, "Uncle?"

"It's me!" Wang Mu hugged her tightly, extremely excited.

As soon as Meng Xiang finished speaking, a scene of relatives recognizing each other appeared in the hall.

Su Tang's expression had turned into shock.

At that time, the boss was very sad when he mentioned her niece, so she wishfully thought that she was gone. It turned out that it was not the case.

Not only is she alive, but she is also the heroine of the original novel...

For some reason, she felt a little lost.

What the hell! Why do the people she knows always have various relationships with the heroine? Is it so difficult to get rid of the shadow of the original text?

hateful!

Perhaps, only by leaving this place far away can I realize my wish of living in peace...

The hall was silent for a while, and Meng Liangguang suddenly smiled, "It seems that Miss Lu Nuan made the right decision to come here."

Wang Mu was still immersed in excitement and didn't hear the other person's words clearly. But Lu Nuan had regained consciousness and patted his uncle's back hard, signaling him to let go. After standing up, he showed a decent smile, "Yes, please forgive us, we lost our composure. Because we haven't seen each other for so long, I thought my uncle..."

Meng Xiang quickly advised, "Don't think too much, we are all happy for you!"

Meng Liangguang glanced at his son and naturally understood his little thoughts, but he did not object.

The thunder-type ability is very powerful, but very rare. Even in the three major bases, there are only a handful of them, not to mention the Dead City.

Although the fourth level is not high, it has great potential for growth.

It would be great if the other party could stay.

So, he said kindly, "Indeed, it is not easy to meet relatives in the end times. I believe you and your nephew have a lot to talk about. Let Ah Xiang arrange it for you first, and we can talk about the rest later."

The lord of a city was so considerate. Although Wang Mu and Lu Nuan had different thoughts, they were very grateful. They soon left with Meng Xiang.

Su Tang was completely forgotten on the spot.

She had guessed this would happen, so she didn't feel too embarrassed. She was about to suggest going back to the furniture store. But Meng Huo spoke first, "Father, we still need to plan for opening a furniture store in the inner city. Why don't we let Su Tang help? After all, she is Master Wang's apprentice, so she must know more about Master Wang's preferences."

"Okay, you can take her."

One sentence determined Su Tang's destination. As an unknown person, although she was really reluctant to have contact with Meng Huoduo, she could only retreat silently.

Outside the palace, Meng Huo paused for a moment and said, "I have something to tell you, follow me."

"……it is good."

Instead of returning to the small courtyard, Su Tang was taken to a larger courtyard a little further away from the main hall.

This should be Meng Huo’s residence.

Although it was large, it looked rather desolate. Not only were there no rare flowers and plants in the spacious yard, there were no ordinary trees or rockeries at all, just a stone-paved floor. The furnishings in the house were also extremely simple, with only the necessary furniture and other items.

Su Tang glanced at him silently, and became more and more certain that Meng Huo was not taken seriously.

The two of them sat at opposite ends of the table. She said nothing, waiting for the other party to state his purpose.

Meng Huo slowly poured white water for the two of them. He did not speak immediately, but clapped his hands lightly.

Almost the next moment, an ordinary-looking, inconspicuous man appeared from nowhere, stood in front of the two men, and handed them a leather bag with both hands.

Su Tang couldn't help but widen his eyes, both because of the strange appearance of the man and because of the thing in his hand.

She would not mistake the shape; it was a repeating crossbow!

Sure enough, Meng Huo waved away his men and took something out of the leather bag.

It was indeed a repeating crossbow, but it was not Su Tang’s, because it was a metal repeating crossbow!

Su Tang bit his lower lip, resisting the urge to snatch it away and have a look.

Meng Huo looked at the crossbow in his hand with interest, "You should be familiar with this thing, as a designer."

"you know……"

Su Tang was undecided about how to respond. She was not sure whether Meng Xiang wanted the crossbow design as his own trump card or for the City Lord's Mansion. If it was the latter, it would not be surprising that Meng Huo knew about it.

Her mind turned around and she asked directly, "What exactly do you want to tell me? Is it related to this?"

"That's right." Meng Huo seemed to appreciate her frankness and didn't beat around the bush. "I want to make a deal with you."

"what do you mean……"

"Design drawings." Meng Huo paused, "Of course, this deal must be kept secret, and only you and I know about it. As for the reward..." He turned around and took out a heavy bag from the cabinet behind him and pushed it over, "You won't suffer any loss."

Su Tang stared at the bag without moving.

She shook her head gently. "I believe in your sincerity. It's not that I don't want to, but I have my concerns. You should understand that if I sell the same design to two people, someone will definitely track me down. Then I will be in trouble."

Meng Huo smiled, "That's not a problem. Don't worry, there won't be any leaks in the Dead City. And in other places, his hands can't reach that far."

Su Tang was stunned. Some other place... Could it be that this man's power is not in the Dead City?

She was quite surprised.

Is it because he failed to become the heir of the dead city and sought another way, or is it that the other party never focused on this from the beginning?

However, in any case, if this is true, it is indeed worth considering.

Anyway, the confidentiality of the crossbow has been lost, and if we can get some extra benefits in return, why not do it!

But, is he trustworthy?

She showed some hesitation on her face, and Meng Huo continued to add chips, "How about this, Wang Mu found his niece, it must be inconvenient for you to live with them, I will arrange another place for you. It will be quiet and you won't be disturbed by anyone."

Su Tang's heart was moved; these words touched her heart.

The last thing she wanted now was to see Lu Nuan every day. The temptation was so great that she could avoid getting involved in the mess between the male and female protagonists!

After a moment of silence, she asked tentatively, "What if I say I want to leave here?"

Meng Huo raised his eyebrows, "You mean, go to other bases?"

"Yes."

This time it was Meng Huo's turn to be surprised. "It is true that some teams will go to other bases for various reasons, but you have to understand that with your strength, no matter where you go outside the Dead City, it will be a very difficult journey. After all, I can't send someone to protect you on this trip."

"I understand. You are responsible for your own life. I just want to know, if I want to leave, can you help me arrange an opportunity?"

"Okay." Meng Huo looked at her and said meaningfully, "But now is not the time."
