"Hmm, our little chubby has gotten smarter." Tianmiao praised Kong Hou as wished, and Kong Hou wore a proud expression, which Dong Xiao by his side couldn’t bear to look at directly.
In the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, just as Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan were about to retreat, they saw the City Lord appear. He walked down the corridor with a look of joy on his face, muttering something to himself. At this moment, a young man with some resemblance to him came from the other side.
"Father," the young man called out.
The City Lord glanced at his eldest son and said coldly, "What are you doing wandering around here so late instead of sleeping?"
"Father’s powers have greatly improved lately, I’m happy for father. But..." The young man’s face showed some worry; he always felt his father’s recent changes were somewhat unusual. This might not be a good sign.
"This isn’t something you should concern yourself with." The City Lord coldly interrupted before the young man could finish speaking, then turned and walked away.
The young man chased after him, still wanting to say something, but the City Lord turned to look at his son. The young man met the City Lord’s gaze and froze in place.
What kind of look was that? Cold, ruthless, even carrying malice and murderous intent. It froze him completely.
Was he truly his originally loving father?
The young man’s unease grew larger in his heart.
Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan exchanged a glance, then quietly left.
Upon returning to the inn, they saw Tianmiao was already yawning.
"Back? Did you discover anything?" Tianmiao lazily asked.
"It can be confirmed that the City Lord’s power surge is due to cultivating a technique, as for whether this technique is good or bad, it’s uncertain for now," Jie Wenzhan replied.
"It might have something to do with the Demon Clan," Ye Chenfeng said in a deep voice.
"Go back and rest. We’ll soon find out." Tianmiao listened to their replies without making any judgment, simply waving them off to rest.
Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan left Tianmiao’s room, standing in the corridor of the inn, and Jie Wenzhan couldn’t help but ask Ye Chenfeng.
"Senior brother, who exactly is Tianmiao?" Mysterious, powerful, wandering the world with ease and confidence, who is this person?
Just as Jie Wenzhan thought Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t answer him, Ye Chenfeng’s low voice came.
"I don’t know."
After saying this, Ye Chenfeng returned to his room.
Jie Wenzhan was slightly surprised, glanced at Ye Chenfeng’s room door, then looked at Tianmiao’s room door, blinked, and silently returned to his own room.
The next day, Tianmiao took Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan along with Kong Hou and Dong Xiao, wandering around Four-direction City eating and shopping.
On the third day, Tianmiao still took the group around Four-direction City eating and shopping.
Ye Chenfeng remained patient, just silently following.
By the fourth day, Jie Wenzhan couldn’t hold it any longer and cautiously asked Tianmiao. Don’t ask why cautiously, because Jie Wenzhan always felt Tianmiao’s aura was very dangerous, stronger than the pressure of Shangwu he encountered in the Secret Realm. It seemed like once you angered her, it would be disastrous.
"Tianmiao, are we still eating and shopping today? When do we start investigating?" Jie Wenzhan finally asked.
"Of course not, today we’re not just eating and shopping." Tianmiao responded slowly, and just when Jie Wenzhan finally took a breath, she added, "Today, besides eating and shopping, there’s buying."
Jie Wenzhan’s expression froze, subconsciously looking at Ye Chenfeng.
However, Ye Chenfeng appeared calm, and when he felt Jie Wenzhan looking at him, he also glanced over.
Rarely took the initiative to say, "Something wrong?"
"No, nothing. Nothing at all." Jie Wenzhan always felt the usually cold and proud Ye Chenfeng seemed to be slightly swayed by Tianmiao?
Was it his illusion?
(Continuing to pray for all kinds of support from little angels.)
