"I’ll go take a look." Ye Chenfeng got up, just about to head out, glanced at Tianmiao who was watching him with a calm expression, his lip twitched slightly as he added, "Miss, I’ll be back after checking."
"Go ahead." Tianmiao bowed her head and continued eating.
Jie Wenzhan also stood up: "Miss, I will also go take a look."
"Go." Tianmiao didn’t raise her head, just uttered one word.
Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan left the tavern one after the other, heading towards the gathering crowd.
Not far away, on a wooden platform, a middle-aged man dressed in blue was kindly chatting with the elder in front, smiling broadly.
The people queuing behind to receive the meat couldn’t help but discuss the City Lord.
"Our City Lord is truly a benevolent person, once a month he performs charity, it’s truly a virtuous act, all the clinics only charge half for consultation and medicine fees, and the elderly and children don’t have to pay for treatment, such good deeds make us have no choice but to respect him!"
"Indeed, last month my mother wasn’t feeling well and went to see a doctor, not only was no money charged, they even sent her back home with a carriage, it left me speechless."
"Our City Lord is immensely virtuous and also a cultivator, I believe the City Lord will certainly ascend to become an immortal in the future. Hopefully, the City Lord will continue to bless our Four-direction City with favorable weather after ascending."
"Yes, the City Lord will surely ascend to become an immortal." The crowd echoed in agreement, their gaze towards the middle-aged man growing increasingly reverent.
Jie Wenzhan listened to this, unable to resist a chuckle, he whispered to Ye Chenfeng, "No one has ascended in a thousand years, ascending is not as simple as that."
Ye Chenfeng said nothing but agreed in his heart.
If ascension were so simple, there wouldn’t have been anyone unable to ascend in the past thousand years.
A hunter-looking person standing next to Jie Wenzhan apparently overheard Jie Wenzhan’s words, glaring fiercely, quite dissatisfied: "Stop talking nonsense! Our City Lord has great mana, definitely about to ascend, such a great benevolent person with immense virtue will certainly be an immortal and continue to protect us! How dare you make such comments about our City Lord, you look unfamiliar, which ignorant youngster are you?"
The hunter’s voice was loud, attracting everyone’s attention over here, Jie Wenzhan scratched his head, grinning and waving his hand: "Yes, yes, my knowledge is limited, sorry everyone." Then he quickly made his exit, because reasoning with a group of blindly worshipping people was impossible.
When Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan returned to the tavern, the waiter hadn’t returned yet. Tianmiao was still leisurely drinking and eating.
"Did you notice anything?" Tianmiao asked the same question again.
Ye Chenfeng flicked his finger to set up a soundproof barrier before speaking: "That City Lord, I think there’s something wrong."
"According to the data provided by the Sect Leader, this person is almost sixty, has only reached the seventh stage of Foundation Establishment, looking like a middle-aged man is due to him consuming the Youthful Appearance Pill. Furthermore, his cultivation hasn’t progressed for years, and his lifespan is nearly at its end. But today, it seems his strength has actually made some progress. This is too strange." Jie Wenzhan elaborated more.
Tianmiao nodded slightly: "Then in the coming days, let’s observe more closely."
After the meal, Tianmiao’s group found the best inn in the city to stay.
Jie Wenzhan decided to investigate the City Lord Mansion in the evening and said to Ye Chenfeng: "Senior brother, let’s go investigate the City Lord Mansion together tonight, maybe we can uncover some mysteries in the City Lord Mansion."
