"City Lord Ye~" As soon as Guangzi saw Ye Lingyue, he pounced over like a cat that slled fish.
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and a stern-faced Di Shen blocked his path, a spitting image of Ye Lingri.
Guangzi imdiately deflated.
"Why are you all here too?"
Di Shen was displeased, glaring at Guangzi.
"Brother Di, you scared Guangzi. I’m here to guide you, aren’t I? I’ve been to Yuliao Town often and know it well. With here, it’ll be more convenient for you." Guangzi looked aggrieved, like an abandoned puppy, pitifully seeking help from Ye Lingyue.
"Di Shen, don’t scare Guangzi. She’s a weak woman, following us on this tiring journey is not easy, we need to take good care of her along the way."
Ye Lingyue said disapprovingly.
Di Shen, this guy, has been getting more unreasonable lately. First, he got jealous of the n, now even the won.
"Yes yes yes, Guangzi really needs soone to take care of her."
Guangzi was thrilled, already imagining his Sister doting on him throughout the journey just like before.
"So, I plan to have Fourth Brother take care of Guangzi. Guangzi, this is my Fourth Brother, he’ll accompany you in the sa carriage along the way. If you need anything, you can ask him."
After Ye Lingyue spoke, as if by magic, she pulled Qin Xiaochuan out from behind her.
"!"
Guangzi’s fox-like eyes, which had been squinting with laughter, suddenly collapsed.
The various beautiful visions of sisterly interaction in his mind shattered instantly.
"Miss Guangzi, hello, I’m Qin Xiaochuan, pleased to et you."
Qin Xiaochuan seeing Guangzi was like a dream, his entire being was floating, his face red with disbelief, not daring to make eye contact with Guangzi, unsure where to look.
The Goddess, the Goddess he’s been longing for so long, standing alive right in front of him.
Last night, Sixth Sister-in-law inford him that Guangzi was at the City Lord’s Mansion, and he felt as if he was floating in the clouds.
Sixth Sister-in-law also told him to work hard, and that in the coming month or so, he would have plenty of chances to get close to Miss Guangzi.
"You you you! Who wants your care."
Guangzi was frustrated, the miniature Ye Lingguang inside him was howling at the sky, calling his Sister a big fool.
Seeing Guangzi’s face full of "shyness", and Qin Xiaochuan’s eager look, Ye Lingyue, acting as the matchmaker, couldn’t help but laugh. However, her smile faded quickly.
"Brother Di, we et again. I am accompanying Lord Jiang Ce to Yuliao Village on behalf of my father."
It was Luo Qianche who approached them joyfully.
The injury on her right eye hadn’t completely healed, still wrapped in bandages.
Due to leaving so bangs to cover her forehead, her one-eyed look didn’t diminish her beauty much.
Last night, upon hearing that Ye Lingyue and Jiang Ce were heading to Yuliao Village for the City Lord assessnt, and that Di Shen would also accompany them, Luo Qianche pleaded with Luo Qian to let her go too.
Luo Qian, already uneasy about the assessnt taking place in his domain and worried Ye Lingyue might sabotage it, consented to her request after her plea.
Concerned about his daughter’s injury, he was still uneasy, thus he dispatched the rfolk King to accompany Luo Qianche.
Luo Qian had an ulterior motive in sending the rfolk King, which was to aid Jiang Ce.
Ye Lingyue’s individual strength aside, rely her previous display of the Huangquan Army had already made Luo Qian hesitant.
But with the rfolk King present, it was a different story.
Considering all these factors, that’s how this peculiar evaluation team ca to be.
Regarding Luo Qianche’s enthusiasm, Di Shen showed a neither cold nor warm response, simply nodding as a form of greeting.
The group then proceeded on their journey.
About a day and a half later, they were near Yuliao Town.
As they approached Yuliao Town, Ye Lingyue took note of the surrounding environnt.
Yuliao Town is surrounded by a major river, the Han River.
Yuliao Town itself is a port town, built adjacent to the Han River, generally such towns are important ports, mostly thriving.
Yet, why did Guangzi ntion that Yuliao Town is currently in a bad situation?
By noon, Ye Lingyue and her group finally reached Yuliao Town.
Yuliao Town, a dium-sized ancient town.
It looked no different than a water town in the south, with white walls and black tiles, very clean. Apart from lacking the spectacular view of the Water God Waterfall, it looked no different than Shui City.
"Doesn’t this town look perfectly fine? What’s the issue? Miss Guangzi, are you not exaggerating?"
Luo Qianche dismounted, looking at the town ahead with so dissatisfaction.
As a woman, she disliked those more beautiful than herself the most.
That Guangzi, looking quite bewitching, and she had heard from Hong Mingyue that her father, Luo Qian, intended to marry this dancer nad Guangzi as City Lord’s Wife.
Thinking about this woman, around her age, becoming her stepmother, Luo Qianche’s tone soured.
As the heir of the Water God bloodline, Luo Qianche always saw herself as superior, and considered how a re dancer could be qualified to be City Lord’s Wife.
Were this to spread, her reputation would be entirely tarnished.
She was even contemplating, perhaps taking this opportunity at Yuliao Town might allow her to eliminate Guangzi.
"Young City Lord, I wasn’t lying. Once you enter the town, you’ll see the truth."
Guangzi pouted, clearly annoyed with the Luo father and daughter duo, finding them both equally annoying.
"Sothing does seem off."
Once dismounted and having remained quiet, Ye Lingyue finally spoke.
"See, City Lord Ye has a better eye for detail than you."
Guangzi smiled, giving Ye Lingyue an approving look.
Indeed, a great sister, even without being a Martial Arts master, her senses were sharp as ever.
"Oh, what seems to be the issue, go ahead and tell us."
The Patrol Envoy from the Jiu Provinces Alliance looked skeptical.
He, like Luo Qianche, saw nothing amiss.
"There are too few people."
Ye Lingyue and her group stood at the street entrance, and with her reminder, they finally noticed the distinct lack of passersby.
As a port town, there should be a constant flow of people throughout the year, yet the streets of Yuliao Town were sparse.
"This season is the port’s off-season, a few people less isn’t odd, let’s head into town."
Luo Qianche, dismissive, felt Ye Lingyue’s point was baseless, and ordered the guards to move into town.
"rfolk King, why aren’t you moving?"
Luo Qianche turned around to find the rfolk King gazing at the major river, Han River at the town’s entrance, and grumbled in discontent.
The rfolk King withdrew his gaze thoughtfully and followed Luo Qianche into the town.
