1796 Revealing News 2
Initially, he believed that the Older Men were excessively cruel in their decision. However, it became apparent that the Elder Men were correct and possessed foresight. If they had acted earlier, the City Lord would never have considered bringing her along, especially since everything was going so well at the moment.
“Don’t dwell on this too much; obey my order. I know how to maintain control. I won’t jeopardize the overall plan due to selfish desires. If anything goes wrong, I will be the first to end it,” Ouyang Mingjing looked directly at Longqing, speaking straightforwardly.
As the City Lord of the Snow Territory, Ouyang Mingjing considered not only the people within the Snow Territory but also those who supported him.
He was fully aware of all the rules and practices.
Upon receiving the City Lord’s assurance, Longqing departed immediately.
Just as Longqing left, Ouyang Mingjing sat down and closed his eyes, finally feeling a sense of calmness in his heart.
He couldn’t prehend why he kept thinking about her all the time.
He should have exercised more caution to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Regret filled Ouyang Mingjing momentarily, but he quickly dismissed it. What was done was done, and there was no need to dwell on it. Instead, he preferred to focus on devising better arrangements.
Ouyang Mingjing rested for a while, and soon enough, Longqing returned.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Ouyang Mingjing opened his eyes and asked, “How did it go?”
“City Lord, we have already spread the news and assigned one of our men to assist her discreetly. She will surely blend in with the crowd,” Longqing informed Ouyang Mingjing in great detail.
Afterward…
Longqing remained somewhat unconvinced. He didn’t like the City Lord’s attachment to her. He truly cared.
Longqing reminded him, “City Lord, if you’re not convinced and want her to stay nearby, it’s easily achievable. I can keep an eye on her. However, City Lord, please remember that Snow Territory and Phoenix Girl are of utmost importance. Don’t jeopardize everything for someone who is unnecessary.”
“Longqing, I know what needs to be done and what holds greater significance. If she can quietly stay nearby, I won’t delve deeper into it. But if she bees a disruptive influence, I will show no mercy. Do you understand?” Ouyang Mingjing asserted.
Upon hearing the City Lord’s detailed explanation, Longqing started to feel more reassured. He nodded and said, “I understand.”
Ouyang Mingjing instructed him to leave the room.
Outside the hostel, there was motion and chaos as preparations were being made to return to Snow Territory.

In another courtyard of the hostel…
Duke North and Gu Ruxue hurriedly entered.
Duke North had personally requested Piaomiao Pavilion’s presence, but it appeared that Piaomiao Pavilion had refused.
