Chapter 3339: Chapter 3340: Enter Upright, Exit Sideways
So he must get this thing too.
The books have disappeared along with the Demon Child, but surely Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang haven’t managed to destroy the pieces of the Corpse Suppression Talisman Seal, right?
He wants this item; with it, the Zui Family could elevate to a higher status on Suilong Continent.
But is the Demon Child something easily obtainable? Lin Caisang has long thrown several pieces into virtual space, and some into Sui Zimo’s Sangmo Garden.
And the places they’ve hidden them, even they probably can’t recall in a hurry.
So, trying to gather all the fragments of the Corpse Suppression Talisman Seal now is basically impossible.
...
In Sky City.
No one knows when it started, but there was a wave of rumors circulating.
People were saying that their Junior City Lord of Sky City now has a son and plans to give the Junior City Lord position directly to this precious son. Furthermore, City Lord Lu Tianlan and the City Lady pamper their grandson tremendously.
"Is it true or not? The Junior City Lord just came back, and he already has a son? That’s quite fast, isn’t it?"
Some people don’t believe it and think it’s just rumors, while others do believe it, as they live close to the Lin Family and have heard that the Lady of the Junior City Lord is a daughter of the Lin Family.
"Of course it’s true, it’s solid fact. Otherwise, with our Sixth Elder’s temperament, wouldn’t he have already put his daughter by the Junior City Lord’s side?"
"Exactly, didn’t it just come out a while ago that the Sixth Elder is particularly fond of the Junior City Lord and wants him as a son-in-law? I’d bet it was the Sixth Elder himself who started spreading this."
"How could the Sixth Elder be like this? I’ve heard that the Lady of the Junior City Lord is a great beauty and also an alchemist, quite impressive, unlike the Sixth Elder’s daughter? Tsk tsk!"
"Exactly, with her arrogant behavior, does she really think she can climb up to our Junior City Lord?"
As the gossip spread, it took a turn and directly shifted to the Sixth Elder, who was to blame for trying to create opportunities between Sui Zimo and his daughter by spreading rumors.
It’s a pity that his daughter isn’t any good either, often bullying the common folk in Sky City because her father is the Sixth Elder.
Many people in the city have been pushed around by this girl and are afraid of her.
Now that it’s rare for the Junior City Lord to return, and the elders are about to be replaced, the townsfolk finally don’t have to worry about the Sixth Elder anymore.
"Does she still want to serve the Junior City Lord? Isn’t she afraid that our Lady of the Junior City Lord would have her come upright and leave sideways?"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, a woman sitting by the street waiting to eat a bowl of noodles couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She was the only female elder among the previous elders.
She had also heard about the Sixth Elder’s daughter, an unruly and arrogant character who doesn’t listen to anyone’s guidance, not even the City Lady could say much to her without being rebutted.
With such a girl, only if the City Lady had lost her mind would she send her to her son’s side.
Besides, she’s seen how the City Lady and Lin Caisang get along—like mother and daughter. How could she possibly let another woman have a chance with her son?
As for Lu Tianlan, the City Lord, he only has one woman who is the City Lady. There’s no way he would be interested in finding numerous women for his son.
