Free Web NovelChapter 3330: Chapter 3331: What Now
It’s important to know that Lin Caisang has a pair of White Foxes with an exceptionally keen sense of smell.
In the end, the group had no choice but to return empty-handed, having found nothing.
...
Sky City, City Lord’s Mansion.
At this moment, the City Lord’s Mansion was full of festivity, with red lanterns hung high.
The citizens of the city saw those lanterns a day early, shining brightly in the pitch-black night.
"What’s going on at the City Lord’s Mansion? Could the City Lord’s wife really be pregnant?"
"What kind of grand occasion is this, hanging so many lanterns? Ever since the Junior City Lord went missing, the City Lord’s Mansion hasn’t been this lively."
"Exactly, it’s been years since the City Lord’s Mansion saw a day of celebration; what’s happening today?"
The citizens speculated, sharing all kinds of rumors, but most of them talked about how the City Lord’s wife was indeed pregnant, because it was the most joyful news for them in Sky City.
"If you ask me, Lu Tianfeng is simply a scoundrel, ungrateful and heartless. Our old City Lord treated him so well, adopting him when he saw him pitiful, and this is how he repaid the old City Lord."
"That guy deserved to die without a resting place! He tried to harm the City Lord and destroy the reputation of the City Lord’s wife! Such malicious deeds!"
"He thinks he could sit on the City Lord’s throne, without even considering what a wretch he is? He colluded with outsiders, stirring up so much trouble, the sooner he’s dead, the better... ah, phooey, he doesn’t deserve a second life, better he turns to ashes!"
The conversation swerved off track, turning into curses aimed at Lu Tianfeng.
The matter of the evil child wasn’t known to the citizens, but with Lu Tianfeng’s death, his deliberate poisoning of the City Lord’s wife and spreading rumors about her pregnancy were revealed by Lu Tianlan.
After all, the City Lord’s wife really wasn’t pregnant, and it was impossible to conceal this fact.
This matter was originally orchestrated by Lu Tianfeng, and ultimately could only be blamed on him, no one else.
"Second Elder, what should we do now?"
On a high building, a man in a purple robe sat at the table, holding a teacup.
Behind him stood two attendants.
The one questioning him sat opposite, a man in a white robe, his face full of anxiety, contrasting with the calm of the man in the purple robe.
He truly hadn’t expected that Lu Tianlan would be able to find his biological son again; he thought Lu Tianlan would never have a son in his lifetime.
After all, they had schemed back then to ensure Lu Tianlan only had Sui Zimo as a son.
"Do you think they might suspect us in that matter?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the purple robe cast a cold glance at him, placing the teacup heavily on the table. The tea inside didn’t spill a drop.
"With your demeanor, even if they knew nothing, they’d still see through eighty percent of the clues," he reminded.
"Uh."
The man in the white robe choked at his words.
He didn’t want to appear this way, but he felt guilty; they had been deceived by Lu Tianfeng and got involved with Zui Yifeng, leading to that ridiculous act.
Now that Sui Zimo is back, and his wife is an alchemist...
