Chapter 207: City Lord's Order

"Of course, these are just my guesses. I'm at a disadvantage now, so you can do whatever you want."

Orcs have a strong sense of territory, especially male orcs. They can sense any disturbance within their territory.

In order to avoid conflicts, other orcs basically will not set foot in other people's territories at will. Unless they intend to seize territory, most people will try to avoid it.

This area is Si Ye's territory, not only the area around the cave, but also the places farther away where various exotic beasts live. They are all his territory.

Xia Tian knew very well that although the middle-aged man in front of her looked sick, he was able to appear in front of her quietly without alerting his master. Not to mention that she was a female, even if Si Ye came, he would probably not get anything good.

So, instead of mindlessly resisting, try to negotiate.

The first step in negotiation is not to show weakness and to take the initiative.

Si Yuan had been the mayor of Dongfang City for decades, and he saw through Xia Tian's little plan at a glance.

Moreover, what she said was basically correct. Seeing Si Ye's life was indeed the purpose of his trip.

The Beast God had not left him much time, so he sent several waves of elite troops to bring him home, but none of them survived.

Si Yuan felt both proud and sad.

What makes him proud is that his son already has his own territory and is able to deal with these elite troops independently, which shows that he has really grown a lot in the past few years.

Sadly, he would rather fight to the death with these people than forgive his blood-related father and go home to inherit the position of city lord.

He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to come and see for himself while he still had the strength to do so.

If anything happens in the future, it can be regarded as a last look at him before I die.

As for this female...

"You're very smart." The middle-aged orc tilted his head slightly, not sparing his praise. "Xiaoye has been trying to do well since he was young. He's willing to let you live with him and even gave you the bone whistle. This is rare."

Faced with such a greeting that sounded like an elder's, Xia Tian didn't give him face, "So, what do you want to say?"

"Ah, you and him really are alike...hahaha, both so impatient." Si Yuan smiled and shook his head, like a parent who was helpless with a naughty child.

He took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to the girl with his pale, withered hand. "This is for you."

Xia Tian didn't take it, nor did she say anything. She just looked at Si Yuan, as if she was sizing something up.

"Well, don't be afraid. There's no danger in here." Perhaps to dispel her doubts, Si Yuan personally opened the box, took out the contents, and showed them to her. "Look, it's just a piece of jade. There's no danger."

Xia Tian focused her eyes and saw clearly what the man was holding in his hand.

It was a piece of blood-red jade, about the size of a palm, square in shape, with intricate patterns carved on each side. Held in such a pale hand, it made the skin look even whiter.

Looking at this piece of jade with a peculiar shape, Xia Tian suddenly had a guess in her mind.

"This is the city lord's order." Si Yuan said.

Ah...as expected?

Xia Tian's recent guess was confirmed so quickly.

The City Lord's Order... that's something like the imperial seal.

Hey, does Si Ye really have a throne in his family that needs to be inherited?
