C167 Crisis Descending
Chen Shaofeng and the other two couldn't help but be taken aback. They had only just entered the Huang City and the mayor already knew of their arrival.
But looking at the elder's attitude and expression, there was no trace of hostility. It could be seen that this mayor did not have any ill intentions towards them. It was probably just to get to know them.
As City Master, yet they were so humble, Chen Shaofeng and the others did not think too much about it. The two of them looked at each other, and nodded in agreement: "Since the City Lord has invited us like this, then we brothers will not be courteous."
The elder continued to smile as he said, "This old man thanks both of you for your trust, let's go now!"
Since the mayor had invited them, they naturally could not stay here to eat. Perhaps they already lived in the City Lord's Mansion, so they first checked out the rooms.
But, the manager insisted on keeping it for them, so they didn't have any other methods.
The Huang City had not changed much since Chen Shaofeng had first come here. Back then, his battle with the Huang City's mayor Chen Guohao did not destroy the City Lord's Mansion, and now that he had been renovated by the current mayor, it naturally became even more luxurious.
However, within this luxury, it was a bit plain and simple. It was possible that the current mayor was also a wonderful person!
When they entered the City Lord's Mansion, they were directly brought to the City Lord's Mansion Hall by the old man. In front of them stood a middle-aged man.
After the two of them followed the old man into the hall, the old man respectfully reported: "Master! The two Young Masters have been invited. "
"Uncle Wang, you can leave now! This City Lord will have a good talk with the two gongzis. "
Only then did the lord of the Huang City turn around, but what surprised the two of them was that although the lord of the Huang City looked ordinary, he gave off an extraordinary feeling, causing him to understand fully what was going on.
But overall, the Huang City City Lord in front of him was not a simple person like he looked on the surface.
"Yes!" Master! I'll go down now. "
And then, the old man just left.
Then, the master of the Huang City said to the two of them, "Two sirs, please take a seat!"
When the two of them were seated, he then continued, "Firstly, this invitation to the two Young Masters is to apologize for my son's matter, and secondly, to the two of you, especially this Young Master Chen Chen Shaofeng before you."
Chen Shaofeng's expression tightened. He never would have thought that the master of the Huang City would call out his name in one go, and even seem to have been observing their situation the entire time. He also felt that he was in control of their situation, which caused him to have no choice but to be on guard.
The master of the Huang City also saw the two's vigilant look, hence he smiled and said: "Two gongzis! Actually, I won't hide the truth from the two of you. Actually, this city master also came from the Great Tang Academy, so he is extremely friendly to the two of you. "
It was only then that Chen Shaofeng and the others realized what had happened. This could also explain why the master of the Huang City knew that they had reached the Huang City so quickly.
Given the name of Chen Shaofeng's Great Tang Academy, I'm afraid that very few people do not know of it!
"This city lord's name is Wang Lu, he can be considered your senior as well! Before today, you have always served in the capital, and not long ago, you had just arrived here at the Huang City. " Wang Lu said.
Honestly speaking, back then, at my age, I was still far from having the strength you have right now. Even now, I'm only at the Innate Elemental Martial level.
After saying that, Wang Lu's eyes became dim, which made Chen Shaofeng and the others to sigh, compared to people, there was indeed no difference between them.
Chen Shaofeng had only used a year's time to reach a realm that others would only be able to reach in half of their lifetime.
As for the others, they might not even be able to progress in Innate Elemental Martial Stage, but in comparison, Wang Lu could be considered lucky.
Therefore, Chen Shaofeng and the others did not say anything, because they did not know how to comfort him.
"However, right now, being able to become the city lord of this little city seems to be extremely comfortable. It can also be considered to be my best destination." Wang Lu once again revealed a smile.
Just then, their expressions suddenly became serious. He stared at Chen Shaofeng and said: "I know that Junior Brother Chen killed the son of King Mua Nan, and King Mua Nan hates you to the bones right now. Only, this is not the time for you to truly face it.
Hearing his words, Chen Shaofeng was startled, and immediately stood up: "Senior Wang! Could it be that the people from the three big families of the Empire already know that I was the one who killed the person? "
Wang Lu nodded his head, "Perhaps you are in the Great Tang Academy, so the school leaders did not want to affect your relationship, and so I did not tell you about it. In fact, not long after you came out of the Heavenly Martial Tomb, the three great families of the Empire knew the cause and result of the matter, and their target was you, Chen Shaofeng!"
"All this while, the four great clans have always been existences above the king. Now, someone actually dared to kill the heirs of the three great clans of the four great clans. Do you think they will be angry?"
Right now, what you need to do is not to leisurely head to the Nanshan County. They still do not know that you originated from the Nanshan County, Scarlet Flame Marquis's Mansion, so once they find out, they would definitely not let your father go, even if the royal family were to find out about this matter, it would be useless. Wang Lu said in a heavy voice.
Hearing Wang Lu's words, Chen Shaofeng's expression instantly became gloomy. He never would have thought that the situation would develop so quickly, and that the people from the three great families would also act extremely quickly. If that was really the case, then they wouldn't be able to live so leisurely within the Huang City.
If this were to happen, it would only bring about a devastating disaster to the Huang City.
He, Chen Shaofeng, was not a saint, but he was not the kind of person who would make people lose their lives. Since there was such a danger, he naturally would not stay here and wait for the members of the three great families to come and kill him.
So when he heard Wang Lu's words, Chen Shaofeng immediately cupped his hands towards Wang Lu and said: "Thank you for telling me this, Senior Wang. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark this whole time! It looks like Great Tang Academy also doesn't know about this news, otherwise how could he not tell us about it. Right now, if Master told us to leave the academy, other than the matter of King Mua Nan, it should be related to this matter as well, why didn't I think of that! "
Chen Shaofeng started to hate him.
Now, it was not because of an unexpected downpour, but an unexpected return trip, so they directly passed by the Huang City and did not enter the city. Naturally, they would not meet Wang Lu, and neither would they learn about this from his mouth.
If it really was like this, not only would he harm himself, he would also harm everyone within the Marquis's Mansion, including his own father. Thinking about all of this, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
