Chapter 1357: New City Lord
Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dim study, Xiahou Yi sat in the wheelchair with a pained expression.
In front of him stood Elder Li and Elder Hai, who were also in pain.
The two of them did not expect the City Lord Manor to change after returning from a trip.
Elder Liu was dead, and Elder Zhao had also been killed to save the City Lord.
Actually, they were in the City Lord Manor when the City Lord was attacked.
Unfortunately, when they arrived, the City Lord had already been beheaded by the assassin. Steward Chang hugged the City Lord’s head and cried uncontrollably.
However, even so, the assassin did not stop and kicked Steward Chang into the sea.
Later on, Steward Chang was salvaged, but the City Lord’s head disappeared.
Because they had not found the head, they had not mourned to the outside world. They had frozen the City Lord’s corpse with a thousand-year-old ice coffin.
The guard beside Xiahou Yi said, “I called the two elders over today to find the mastermind behind the assassination of the City Lord.”
–
“Hundred Flowers Palace!”
“What? What does this have to do with the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
In Ling Yun’s room, after hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s guess, Wei Liulang said in shock, “Ling Yun is the City Lord’s biological son. Why would he assassinate the City Lord? Is he crazy? No one will believe such a thing.”
Wei Qing said, “I have the same thoughts as Xiaoxiao. Xiahou Yi will frame Ling Yun.”
Wei Liulang expressed his doubts. “Are your guesses reliable? His biological son killed him? How much hatred does he have? Even if he did let Palace Lord Yun Xi and Ling Yun down, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he’s trying his best to make up for it. Moreover, as long as one’s not blind, anyone can tell that he plans to pass the position of City Lord to Ling Yun. Ling Yun has no reason to kill him! He has to find a convincing excuse to lie!”
Ghostfear nodded.
He also felt that if Xiahou Yi wanted to frame Ling Yun, it would be difficult to convince the public.
The Palace Lord and Wei Xu didn’t comment for the time being.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “What if the City Lord suddenly realizes that Ling Yun isn’t qualified to be the City Lord?”
“Huh?” Wei Liulang was stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the four of them and said, “The City Lord saw through Dad’s true identity and found out that Dad is also a descendant of Emperor Wu. Moreover, Dad came to the island to snatch the dragon crystal so that he could open Emperor Wu’s Mausoleum. The City Lord immediately wanted to kill Dad, but Ling Yun and Father had a deep relationship and stood on Father’s side. The City Lord threatened Ling Yun, ‘If you want to inherit the position of the City Lord, kill Wei Xu for me. Otherwise, don’t even think about returning to the Xiahou family in your life!’ What will Ling Yun do?”
Wei Liulang said, “Of course he would disregard the City Lord. Ling Yun doesn’t care about the position of the City Lord.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It doesn’t matter if he’s cares about it or not. What’s important is that others think he does.”
Wei Qing said, “That’s right. Compared to the truth that Ling Yun is indifferent to fame and fortune, the people on the island are more willing to believe that he’s ambitious and jealous. For the position of City Lord, he killed this biological father who killed his mother.”
Wei Liulang was enlightened. “That makes sense.”
Boom!
A loud commotion suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Wei Liulang immediately flashed out.
It was the Slave Killer fighting a man who was wrapped up like a big black dumpling.
The Slave Killer threw Wei Xiaobao high into the air and slapped the other party’s face! freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The other party hurriedly blocked it with his fist and was forced back more than ten steps. The soles of his shoes were smoking.
“Hiss—”
He gasped. “Grandpa! Why haven’t you returned to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion? Why are you still here?!”
“Wu Wa Wa Wa!”
Wei Xiaobao fell.
The Slave Killer flew up and caught her steadily, landing lightly.
Wei Xiaobao was so excited that she crossed her feet. “Wu wu wu wu!”
After mastering the game of flying high, the Slave Killer developed the skill to walk in the garden and bask in the sun.
In the morning, he would carry Wei Xiaobao around when she woke up.
When Wei Xiaobao woke up in the afternoon, he carried her around again.
In total, it was equivalent to a day.
Just as he carried Wei Xiaobao out today, he bumped into an unknown object.
