Chapter 2588: Being followed
Feng Jiu smiled nonchalantly. “City Lord has no reason to be upset. It is time for me to leave.” She cupped her fists to salute him and walked out.
“Hey! Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng, please wait. I’ll see you off. ” The City Lord glared at his son and followed her quickly.
Ling Tianyu was perplexed by his father’s actions. He couldn’t understand how his father, who had always thought everyone else was beneath him, could see such a kid and treat him as a guest of honour, even allowing him to enter the library.
Outside the gate of the City Lord Mansion, Feng Jiu turned around and smiled, “City Lord, please do not send me any further. Goodbye.”
“Alright. If possible, I would want to invite Young Master Feng to visit and stay for a few days in the future.” The City Lord stated.
Feng Jiu smiled and responded, “Sure.” Immediately after saying this, she turned around and left.
He watched her leave until she faded from view. He sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he discovered his son standing behind him and staring at him.
“Father, why are you so courteous toward that kid? What do you see in him?” Ling Tianyu inquired with his eyes glued to his father’s face, not letting any expressions escape.
When his son asked him out of the blue, the City Lord became irate. “Do you think I am you, gathering all the good-looking young men you see around you and order them about?I treat her differently for a reason. All you have to do now is remember what I said and try not to worry about anything else.”
When Ling Tianyu saw his father getting ready to walk inside, he grabbed him, gave him a stern look, and said, “I know you’re keeping something from me, Father. If you don’t tell me, I’ll have to go find out from this kid.”
When City Lord heard this, he was taken aback and stared at him. “Don’t even think about it!”
“Do you think I’m afraid, Father? As you say, I’ve done worse in my time, and I don’t mind doing it again.” He said it calmly as if he didn’t care.
“You, you!”
The City Lord was so irate that he stared at him without saying anything. He exhaled softly, suppressed his anger, and said calmly, “Come with me to the study!”
Ling Tianyu followed him inside after hearing his command.
Feng Jiu walked around the street after leaving City Lord Mansion, buying some items, eating a simple meal at a street corner, and eventually arriving at an inn.
However, when she reached the inn’s entrance, she stopped, gazed back briefly, and entered.
Someone began following her as soon as she left the mansion. She sensed that when she initially arrived in this city, she had no grudges against anyone except Ling Tianyu. Could the person who followed her have been dispatched by Ling Tianyu?
Based on the attitude and words of the City Lord, he would not have dispatched people to follow her. Then it was likely Ling Tianyu, the son of the City Lord.
The corners of her lips curled into a smile. Without her intervention, the rules of the world would automatically punish someone who had taken the Heaven and Earth oath.
So, she was unconcerned about what the man who had been following her in the dark would do to her.
“Innkeeper, give me a superior room. ” Feng Jiu, who entered the inn, told the innkeeper.
