Chapter 1199 Is it a ghost town?
"Strange? What's strange about it? Isn't this just an ordinary banquet?" The head of the You family looked at You Wan with a puzzled look on his face.
"No, don't you think the atmosphere here is not festive at all, but rather lifeless and very depressing? Also, the City Lord's Mansion, as the host, has no intention of entertaining guests at all. They just sit there stiffly, with a group of people staring at us." You Wan expressed all the things that were wrong that he felt.
It was only after she entered the City Lord's Mansion that she began to feel more and more that something was wrong.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the You family looked around and discovered that the surroundings were indeed as dead and gloomy as You Wan had described.
Just when Master You and the others were still wondering how long they would have to sit and wait like this, the servants from the City Lord's Mansion brought them one delicious dish after another.
These delicacies seemed very delicious to everyone in the You family. If Yan Li were here, what she would see were plates of bloody raw meat.
Since entering the secret realm for training, the You family members have not seen this kind of delicacy for a long time.
So when the food was served, they couldn't wait to eat it.
“Master, these delicacies look delicious, but why do they smell fishy when I bite them?” You Wan frowned after taking a bite.
"Fishy smell? No, I think these delicacies are very delicious." Patriarch You shook his head when he heard this.
When You Wan saw that everyone looked so intoxicated while eating, she felt that something was wrong.
So she put down her chopsticks and never took another bite.
"Why don't you eat, young lady? Is the food not to your liking?" Who would have thought that when the city lord saw You Wan put down her chopsticks, he asked directly.
"The city lord has misunderstood. These dishes are very delicious. I am just too tired from the training recently and have no appetite." You Wan said hurriedly after hearing this.
"So that's how it is." The city lord gave up after hearing that.
At this moment, You Wan suddenly remembered what Yan Li said before coming in: You are not allowed to enter!
At this point she was very sure that there was really something wrong with this city.
But now, the other members of the You family are trapped in a beautiful illusion and cannot extricate themselves.
Her own strength is limited, and if she suddenly resists, she will surely die miserably.
At this moment, You Wan suddenly thought of Yan Li and the others outside the city.
"Ah..." You Wan suddenly sighed.
"Why are you sighing, young lady?" You Wan's sigh indeed caught the city lord's attention.
“Mayor, you don’t know that we have some friends outside the city. They didn’t come into the city and cannot enjoy such delicious food. It’s a pity.” You Wan sighed.
"Oh? What do you think, girl?" The city lord said and looked at You Wan.
"Why don't I bring them in? It would be a bit embarrassing to have them attend the banquet as well." You Wan lowered his head with embarrassment.
"You Wan, what do you want to do?" Seeing this, the head of the You family asked You Wan in a low voice.
“Master, I am of low status and my words may not matter, so I may not understand what Miss Nangong and the others say. You are the master of the family, so if you come with me, we will definitely be able to get them to go into the city with us.” You Wan winked at Master You.
She knew that the head of the You family must have also noticed that there was something wrong here.
"Okay, as I said before, we share the good times and the bad times. We're all out here to gain experience together. It's been a long time since we've eaten something so delicious." The head of the You family nodded.
"I didn't expect that you two were the only two people with such loyalty and righteousness among the group. Okay, you go out of the city and invite them in. We welcome them in our City Lord's Mansion." The City Lord said generously.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord. You are so generous." The head of the You family bowed to the city lord.
"We are not familiar with this city. Please lead the way for us." The head of the You family said to the guard beside him.
The actions of the head of the You family completely eliminated the city lord's suspicion.
He had originally wanted to send skeletons to monitor them, but now it seemed unnecessary.
They themselves carried a skeleton with them.
Just like that, when the guards led Master You and his companions out of the city gate again, they realized that it was already dawn.
Yan Li and the others, who had just walked out of the tent, were naturally very surprised to see Patriarch You and You Wan being escorted out by the skeleton guards.
"You are a guard of the City Lord's Mansion. Why don't you go and talk to them in person so that it will be more convincing?" After walking out of the city gate, the head of the You family said to the guards around him.
The guard was stunned when he heard this!
At this point, he had completely believed that Master You and the others just wanted to come out and call their companions to die together...
"You can go. As guards of the City Lord's Mansion, we cannot leave the city gate too far." said the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Okay then, let's go." After saying this, the head of the You family took You Wan and walked step by step towards Yan Li and the others.
When they walked in front of Yan Li and the others, cold sweat had already drenched their entire bodies.
"Master You, what are you doing?" Fan Zhu looked at them in confusion.
"This city is very scary. After we entered, we attended a banquet. It felt like there were no other living people at the banquet except us. The food was even more weird. It looked delicious, but it was filled with a bloody smell." The head of the You family said with cold sweat.
Yan Li: ...
It seems that what they ate was not some delicious food, most likely something like that.
"Master You, why don't you look in the mirror now?" Yan Li said to them.
Upon hearing this, the head of the You family took out a mirror and his face turned pale in an instant.
His mouth was covered in blood, as if he had eaten some raw meat.
But you can't see it in reality, you can only see it in the mirror.
Because You Wan, who was standing next to him, also had blood at the corner of his mouth in the mirror.
But I can’t see it in reality.
"Master, have we entered a ghost town?" You Wan exclaimed when he looked at himself in the mirror.
"It seems to be correct." The head of the You family nodded heavily.
"What should we do with everyone still in there?" You Wan's face was full of worry.
"There's no way we can get in again. Even if we did, it would be useless. They have been completely confused." The head of the You family sighed.
"Miss Yan, do you have any good ideas?" The head of the You family suddenly thought of Yan Li.
"I told you before that this city is off-limits, but you didn't believe me. Now that something has happened, what can I do?" Yan Li was speechless.
"You just said that you can't enter, you didn't say it's a ghost town." You Wan said.
"I'm not your mother. Do I have to explain everything to you so clearly?" Yan Li retorted directly after hearing this.
"Master You, how did you escape?" Fan Zhu was still quite curious about this.
The head of the You family told everyone how he and You Wan escaped.
"You found the problem and immediately tried to find a way out, but the other disciples of the You family were in a miserable situation." Lin Qiao complained when he heard it.
"Miss Yan, please help me find a way to save my You family." The head of the You family looked at Yan Li with pleading eyes.
