As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were on him.

Bai Suning's expression suddenly turned cold, and her words were no longer as pleasant as before: "City Lord, you must have evidence when speaking. If you don't have evidence, it's better not to bring it up."

"I just heard about it." The city lord glanced at her, still smiling casually as before, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong. "The emperor has already known about this matter. I believe he is investigating it now. There will be results in a while. Wouldn't it be clear at a glance whether he is the city lord of Yuxiao City?"

Bai Suning's heart suddenly sank.

She was now almost certain that someone was going to get her father.

"Why is Miss Bai so excited?" The city lord asked with some confusion, "Aren't you talking to the person who doesn't know Yuxiao City?"

"This isn't a question of knowing someone. You can't just blindly accuse someone of a crime without evidence." Bai Suning's voice was a bit cold, and the warmth and courtesy she had shown him were gone. "The City Lord probably doesn't want to be labeled a murderer so easily, right?"

"You..." The city lord looked embarrassed, and there was something else in his eyes as he looked at her. "Why do I feel that Miss Bai has suddenly become so hostile towards me? Did I say something wrong?"

Bai Suning ignored him.

If this matter involves my father, the consequences will be extremely serious.

This is a matter concerning a whole city, the Emperor will definitely not let it off easily.

No matter how you look at it, Yuxiao City is a city belonging to Qing State. It is not an independent force and is under the jurisdiction of the royal family.

"City Lord, there's no need to be confused." The Third Elder spoke, his words supporting Bai Suning. "We students are a little excited about right and wrong. Young people tend to be more straightforward and direct than us adults when it comes to things. I hope the City Lord won't be offended."

"Hahahahaha, that's good. This city lord was worried that our great hero would be offended in some way." The city lord smiled heartily and was not angry at all.

Bai Suning felt a little unhappy. Perhaps it was because she had never liked a person, and all his actions would make her dislike him.

Take the current city lord for example. Even though he spoke so frankly and outsiders felt that he was unconventional, she felt that there was sarcasm in his words.

The group of people ate and drank, and did not continue with their previous activities.

A quarter of an hour later.

A man rushed in and leaned over to whisper something in the city lord's ear.

The city lord's face suddenly became delighted, and his attitude became more serious: "Quickly bring the young lady in."

"yes."

Seeing this, the Third Elder knew someone was coming, and he said slowly, "Since the City Lord has other things to do, let's go back to the academy first."

"Wait!" The city lord didn't let them go, his eyes still scanning Bai Suning, "This person here is also from our Weicheng, she's my daughter, but she's been traveling all year round and rarely comes back. You all are great contributors to our Weicheng, she deserves to meet you."

The third elder wanted to refuse, but the city lord did not give him the opportunity.

Bai Suning's intuition told her that there was something unusual about this matter, but she couldn't tell what was unusual about it, so she felt that everything was very strange.

Not long after, a young girl walked in, holding a sword in her left hand, with her hair standing up high. She looked heroic and capable.

"Yue'er, come here quickly." The city lord introduced her excitedly, his eyes full of joy when he looked at her. "You've come back just in time. The people from the academy have helped us solve the problem in Wei City. You must thank them sincerely."

"Everyone, this is my daughter Xue Yue." The city lord introduced her with confidence and pride. "Because she helps the emperor, she travels all year round."

Everyone nodded as a greeting.

Xue Yue clasped his fists with his sword in hand, glanced at the people sitting there, and said sincerely, "Thank you all for your kindness in rebuilding our Weicheng."

"Miss Xue, there's no need to thank me." The Third Elder was the leader of this group, so naturally, he had some say. "This is the academy's responsibility, not something to be rebuilt."

"Thank you all." Xue Yue spoke cheerfully, giving people the feeling of being straightforward and unpretentious. "If it weren't for you, who knows what would have become of Weicheng now. It might even have become a dead city."

The third elder said no more.

The city lord began to introduce Xue Yue again: "Come, let me introduce you to our greatest hero this time..."

"Bai Suning?" Xue Yue exclaimed in surprise when she saw Bai Suning's face clearly before her father finished speaking. Her brows knitted together in a serious expression. "Why are you here?"

Bai Suning: “???”

Sister, do we know each other?

The city lord looked back and forth, with a puzzled look on his face: "Do you know him?"

"This is Bai Suning, the daughter of Bai City Lord of Yuxiao City." Xue Yue's expression suddenly became serious, and she looked at Bai Suning with a wary look, "Why did you invite her here as well?"

"Is she Bai Suning from Yuxiao City?" City Lord Xue asked with a puzzled look on his face. He looked back and forth between the Third Elder, Bai Suning, and the others, and continued to ask, "Are you mistaken? I asked before, and although this girl is also called Bai Suning, she doesn't know the one from Yuxiao City."

"Oh, her father did such a big wrong, how dare she admit her identity." Xue Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was sarcasm in her words.

This moment.

No matter how dumb Bai Suning was, she could see it.

City Lord Xue first deliberately said those words to trick her, and now he is acting with his own daughter.

She said it was such a coincidence.

"Is she really the Bai Suning from Yuxiao City?" City Lord Xue was still pretending, a look of confusion between his brows as he asked, and he helped her out by saying, "She helped us in Weicheng a lot. She helped to deal with those monsters. It can't be her."

"Her father created those things in secret, and she solved them openly." Xue Yue said seriously, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. "This way, she will be the greatest contributor. The people of Weicheng will thank her, and the emperor will also reward her."

"When the emperor bestows the award, he will know that she is from Yuxiao City, and he will give the city lord of Yuxiao City some very good treatment."

"This plan is flawless."

Bai Suning: "..."

Looking at the person who spoke righteously, she completely understood the routine here.

If she guessed correctly, there must be some competition between Weicheng and Yuxiaocheng. Weicheng wanted to frame Yuxiaocheng through inferior means, so that the emperor would be disappointed with Yuxiaocheng and achieve his own goal.
