[Inside the Dingling City Lord’s Mansion.]
[Jiao Hekang knelt respectfully on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Lord of the city, Ye Yu from Kushan City has been brought into the city. What do you think we should do next?"]
[On the throne sat a man with a stern face.]
[This was none other than Xiao Jibo, the Lord of Dingling City.]
[He seemed not to hear Jiao Hekang’s words.]
[Still, he was absorbed in reading a novel that had recently become popular in the underworld — Kushan City Storms.]
[Jiao Hekang was not anxious at all, but knelt respectfully and waited.]
[After a long time.]
[Xiao Jibo finally closed the novel and said: "Hey, I’m really puzzled. How can someone’s story be so captivating?"]
["It’s just killing ghosts."]
["Yet the story is full of twists and turns, emotions cranked to the max."]
["That kid Lang really is a genius."]
["By the way, any news on finding Lang?"]
[Xiao Jibo’s voice carried a slight dialect.]
[It sounded quite humorous, forming a strong contrast with his stern appearance.]
[Jiao Hekang lowered his head slightly and said seriously: "None so far, but I have assigned people to continue investigating. Once there is news, it will be reported immediately."]
[Xiao Jibo tapped the armrest of the throne lightly. After a moment, he said with some difficulty: "Forget it, time waits for no one. It’s time for me to leave as well."]
["Continue searching for Lang’s whereabouts. Once found, have him write Kushan City Storms 2 for me first."]
["This time, make sure he writes longer and faster."]
["At least twenty thousand words per day. If he can’t finish, hang him up and beat him!"]
["But remember one thing — no hitting the face or hands. I’m still waiting to see his writing!"]
[Jiao Hekang quickly agreed.]
[It seemed that their city lord had really become a fan of Lang lately.]
[He had also read Kushan City Storms — indeed very good and worth following.]
[Just a bit short; if it were longer, it would be even better.]
[Xiao Jibo stood up from the throne and came before Jiao Hekang.]
[He said softly: "Alright, there’s nothing else. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll meet again in a hundred years."]
["As for that Ye Yu, tomorrow we proceed according to our previous plan."]
["At that time, in front of all the senior officials, we will forcefully question him about that ghost technique’s whereabouts."]
["Whether he admits it or not, just kill him directly."]
["Doesn’t he like to settle accounts for others?"]
["Then let him settle it to the end."]
[After hearing this, Jiao Hekang hesitated and asked nervously: "Lord of the city, are you really confident letting me handle this alone?"]
["And if you’re not here, will those seniors believe this matter?"]
[Xiao Jibo sneered slightly and said loudly: "I’m really puzzled by you, why worry so much?"]
["Whether they believe it or not is their business. The reason I let you do this is just to give them a way out."]
["Whether they believe it or not, they won’t dare to ask another question."]
["Because they all know very well — if they don’t take that way out, they die!"]
[Listening to this domineering declaration, Jiao Hekang’s heart stirred.]
["Indeed, the Lord of the city is still the Lord of the city."]
[After arranging everything, Xiao Jibo’s figure slowly vanished where he stood.]
[Leaving Jiao Hekang alone in the vast city lord’s hall.]
[The next morning.]
[Ye Yu was woken up early by someone.]
[To be fair, the room arranged for him in Dingling City was really quite nice.]
[Even without violence, at least ask one ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) question to understand their attitude.]
