Chapter 2609
2609 Suspicion
“Shush, lower your voices. Don’t say such things. I heard that the current city Lord Xue is the adopted son of the last city Lord Yue. Although his father used to be a servant of the Yue clan, he was sworn brothers with city Lord Yue. If city Lord Xue were to hear of this, do we still have our lives?” The old man was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked outside and then at Ling Chuxi and the others as he reminded them.
The few of them quickly shut their mouths and did not dare to say anything more.
At the side, Ling Chuxi and the rest also fell silent. They had not thought that the current city Lord of Qingyuan City would have such a connection with the Yue family. Could it be that it was really as some people had guessed? the tragic case of the Yue family’s extermination decades ago was related to the Xue family.
Thinking about the relationship between the Xue family and the Yue family, they felt a chill in their hearts. However, in the Qing-Yun realm, in order to be stronger, some people even killed each other. It wasn’t rare for sworn brothers to turn against each other and kill each other. It was just that some people had their own bottom line and their own principles. They clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges, while some people were extremely shameless.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A few men dressed as guards walked in and their eyes swept across everyone’s faces.
“Greetings steward Xue, greetings steward Xue.” In the restaurant, the small number of diners all stood up and saluted. Clearly, these people were all from the Xue family.
“Recently, Qingyuan City has not been very peaceful. Everyone should pay attention to it. If there are any suspicious people, report to the city Lord immediately.” The middle-aged man in the lead said.
“Yes, it’s Lord manager. We’ll take note.” Everyone responded in unison.
“And you guys, Who are you?” Steward Xue looked at Ling Chuxi and the others as he asked. It was obvious that they were suspicious of their identities, but seeing that they were dressed in an extraordinary manner, they didn’t dare to be too rude.
“We’re from the Zi family of Qingyun town. We’re out on an adventure and happened to pass by Qingyuan City, so we’ll be staying here for a few days. ” Ling Chuxi said without changing her expression.
“Oh, so you’re from the Zi family.” Steward Xue nodded, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he remembered that there was a family with the surname Zi, but it had been in decline for many years, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.
“Recently, Qingyuan City has not been very peaceful. If you don’t have anything else to do, you should leave as soon as possible. Be careful not to get into trouble.” Steward Xue trembled as he recalled the origin of the Zi family and spoke in a high and mighty manner.
“This Lord manager, may I know what has happened in Qingyuan City?” Ling Chuxi asked, pretending to be curious.
“Don’t ask me what it is. I’m doing this for your own good. Hurry up and leave the city after you’ve eaten.” Steward Xue’s tone carried a hint of threat.
“Oh, then we’ll leave after eating.” Ling Chuxi had long guessed that she would not be able to get any answers from him, so she did not continue to ask.
Steward Xue looked at them a few more times, but didn’t see anything strange, so he left with his men.
“Let’s go back to the inn. ” After the few of them left, Ling Chuxi stood up and said this.
After paying the bill, the few of them returned to the inn.
“Have you seen that steward Xue?” Ling Chuxi asked Xiang Yunzhi and Shi chenhua.
“I’ve never seen him before. With his strength, if he dared to attack us, he would be a dead man now.” Xiang Yunzhi knew what Ling Chuxi meant and said arrogantly.
“Elder sister Chuxi, do you also suspect that the Xue family was involved in the Yue family’s destruction?” Zi Yin asked.
