Upon hearing Qián Tiānluó’s words, everyone’s gaze turned to him.
Bài Xue is the City Lord of Duanyang City, and nominally she controls Duanyang City, but isn’t my Qian family not to be trifled with either?
"City Lord Bai Xue... Ah, rember, this news absolutely must not be casually disclosed. City Lord Bai Xue is the daughter of the Commandery Prince," Qián Tiānluó finally revealed.
This information was known by very few within Duanyang City.
The reason Qián Tiānluó knew this information was also by chance.
Originally, when Bai Xue first ca to Duanyang City to take up the post of City Lord, that was ten years ago. At that ti, the Qian family, the first family of Duanyang City, invited the new City Lord Bai Xue to a banquet at their ho. However, City Lord Bai Xue didn’t give the Qian family face and directly refused.
The refusal of City Lord Bai Xue undoubtedly made Qián Tiānluó very annoyed.
One must know, Qián Tiānluó himself was also a Dao Spirit Realm strong person and the clan leader of the Qian family, the first family of Duanyang City; pride and arrogance naturally go without saying. He personally invited Bai Xue, but Bai Xue didn’t give any face at all, and even refused without a reason, which of course made him feel embarrassed.
Therefore, he wanted to find trouble for City Lord Bai Xue. But he was not a reckless person; he first went to Lanqu County City and found a major family with deep connections to the Qian family, trying to use this relationship to suppress Bai Xue. You think you’re so aloof? I’ll make you personally co to the Qian family to apologize.
But that ti Qián Tiānluó went to Lanqu County City to find trouble for Bai Xue, he ended up running back with his tail between his legs. At that ti, many elders of the Qian family were very puzzled, asking the Clan Leader what had happened, but Qián Tiānluó did not make any response, only saying to let this matter go and also instructing that no one in the Qian family, at any ti, should show any disrespect towards City Lord Bai Xue.
Ti swiftly passed by, ten years.
The people of the Qian family indeed did not seek trouble with City Lord Bai Xue again, and City Lord Bai Xue also did not take any actions against the Qian family.
Until today, when City Lord Bai Xue acted, striking and killing the Second Elder of the Qian family, Qian Feng. This made the once high and mighty Qian family furious and full of explosive anger.
When the elders of the Qian family, thinking about what Qián Tiānluó had just revealed, were all shocked beyond asure.
The daughter of the Commandery Prince?
Who is the Commandery Prince? That’s a powerful person who controls the entire Lanqu County.
How large is Lanqu County?
Cities like Duanyang City and Donglin City, there are hundreds of such cities within Lanqu County. The territory of Donglin City alone is enough to make an Innate Strong Person run for a month to cross! And the entire Heavenly Origin Continent has only ninety-nine Lanqu County-like commandery territories.
It can be said, a Commandery Prince of a commandery city is indeed a very important figure throughout the entire Heavenly Origin Continent.
How could the daughter of a Commandery Prince be defied by a family from a re small city?
"Clan Leader, could there be a mistake? City Lord Bai Xue, her surna is Bai. But isn’t the Commandery Prince surnad Zhou?" a Qian Family elder asked with a slightly furrowed brow, lowering his voice.
Lanqu County Prince’s surna is Zhou, this is well known to many.
"Hmph, it is precisely because of this point that this news is only known by very few. Alright, don’t ask any more questions, knowing too much is not a good thing. Let this matter go. Wei Jiuhe, you should go back too," Qián Tiānluó once again waved his hand and said to Wei Jiuhe.
"Yes! Yes!" Wei Jiuhe responded repeatedly.
He turned around woodenly, unconsciously walking out of the room.
Wei Jiuhe knew that revenge was hopeless now.
City Lord Bai Xue was not soone he could afford to offend, even with the murder of a Qian family elder, the Qian family had to hold their noses and accept it; his Wei family was even less likely to clash with City Lord Bai Xue. Even Jing Yan, the Wei family could not afford to offend.
Now, he could only hurry back to his family and urgently arrange for handling the events that might happen next. The industries of the Wei family were definitely not going to be completely preserved, managing to maintain half would already be good.
A day passed by...
Two days passed...
A week passed...
Half a month passed...
In Duyang City, countless martial artists were waiting for the Qian Family’s retaliation against the City Lord, but the Qian Family remained silent as if Qian Feng, who had died in the Wei Family Mansion half a month ago, had nothing to do with them.
What on earth was going on?
Could it be that the Qian Family wasn’t planning to pursue the matter? But that was completely unlike their usual style!
So even tried to inquire about the situation from the Qian Family, including high-level individuals from major families going to gather information, but they all returned without success, and the Qian Family mbers were tight-lipped about it. Even the ordinary mbers of the Qian Family would not discuss the matter, as if they had been sternly warned by the senior managent.
...
That day, inside the City Lord Mansion.
"Your na is Liu Xiaoyue? From Black Wind Town?" Bai Xue City Lord asked, looking at Jing Yan and Liu Xiaoyue in front of her.
"Yes!" Liu Xiaoyue slightly lowered her head.
Her injuries had almost completely healed. The effects of the Revitalizing Pill were indeed very good.
At that mont, Liu Xiaoyue also felt extrely uneasy as she hadn’t expected that she would actually et the Lord of Duyang City.
"Hmm!" Bai Xue spoke sparingly. She nodded slightly and her lips curled as she continued, "You’re very lucky."
While speaking, she glanced at Jing Yan.
Liu Xiaoyue’s lips twitched slightly, unsure of what to say.
Jing Yan, however, looked quite uncomfortable. He could decipher the implications in Bai Xue’s words, but now, it wasn’t a good ti to either explain or remain silent.
"Forget it, let it be!" Jing Yan thought to himself.
"I have arranged for soone to escort you back to Black Wind Town," Bai Xue added imdiately.
"Clack, clack, clack!" As her voice fell, a pair of black-armored guards entered from outside.
Jing Yan looked at these armored guards and astonishingly found that the leader among them was in the Innate Realm.
The City Lord Mansion had many armored guards, but few were in the Innate Realm.
"You will escort Jing Yan and Liu Xiaoyue to Black Wind Town. Also, deliver the appointnt. Liu Daquan, Liu Xiaoyue’s father, will beco the Town Mayor of Black Wind Town," Bai Xue told the Innate Realm guard.
"Yes!" The armored guard imdiately responded.
"Town Mayor?" Both Jing Yan and Liu Xiaoyue were slightly stunned.
Previously, Bai Xue had not inford them that Liu Xiaoyue’s father would be the Town Mayor of Black Wind Town. It was obvious that Bai Xue had already known that Jing Yan had killed the forr Town Mayor, Gao Yan, and the position was now vacant.
Thereafter, Jing Yan’s lips curled up again.
Liu Daquan taking up the post of Town Mayor of Black Wind Town was indeed good news. Jing Yan believed that Liu Daquan would have a splendid expression upon receiving this appointnt. Currently, Liu Daquan must be filled with worries, wondering when the City Lord Mansion of Duyang City would send a large army to exterminate his household.
