Chapter 1 The City Lord's Wife

Outside Baicheng,

As Luo Xi passed by the cliff, she heard two people talking. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a woman standing halfway down the opposite cliff. Both of them were injured, and there was a long vine next to them.

They seemed to be arguing about who should go up first.

Wei Jian: "Ping'er, you go up first."

Nan Ping'er shook her head, "No, we'll all go together."

"I won't leave you alone down there."

Luo Xi: "......."

What's wrong?

Why can't they go up one by one? Why do they have to go up together?

Also, could that vine, which is only about the same thickness, support the two of them?

In the time they were taking to go back and forth, if they had just rushed up there, they would have been up already.

She understood; they probably didn't want to live anymore and wanted to die together.

Okay, then she won't bother them anymore.

Then, Luo Xi turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

In the end, those two people naturally died.

Because that vine simply couldn't support the weight of the two of them.

They climbed up together, but halfway up, the vine snapped with a "crack".

Finally, the two injured men fell off the cliff and were smashed to pieces...

An hour later, in the city lord's mansion of Baicheng.

As soon as Luo Xi stepped inside, a man dressed in black rushed towards her and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Luo Xi: "........."

"Bai Chen, you're hugging me too tightly!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chen paused for a moment, then relaxed his grip slightly.

It scared him to death.

A couple of days ago, she said she wanted to go out for a walk to clear her head and didn't want him to come with her.

Moreover, she didn't come back the night before last or last night. He was afraid she would leave him, and he even considered going out to look for her.

Thankfully, she came back.

Luo Xi: "......."

He was still holding her very tightly.

Seeing his expression, he didn't believe she had gone out to clear her head at all; instead, he thought she wanted to leave him.

She was about to say something.

The next second, her gaze fell on a man and a woman who came out from inside, and she asked in confusion, "Bai Chen, who are they?"

Hearing footsteps behind him, Bai Chen remembered there were still guests, so he released Luo Xi's waist and instead held her hand.

"They are Nanchang and his wife, the eldest son of the city lord of the neighboring South City."

The couple from Nanchang: "The City Lord's Wife."

Luo Xi nodded.

Nanchang: "We, Nancheng and Yucheng, have some disagreements. However, we never expected that my sister, Nanping'er, and her fiancé would be chased and killed by the people of Yucheng when they passed through Yucheng."

"The last place they fired signal flares at us was near Baicheng."

"So, we came here to ask Lord Bai to send people to search the area."

"If you ever need any help from Nancheng in the future, we will definitely do our best to assist you."

Luo Xi: !!!

A chase? Or is it between a man and a woman?

Her first thought was of the two people below the cliff.

Could they be looking for those two people?

However, they are most likely already dead.

She won't tell them about this.

Their sister and brother-in-law are dead, and if they knew she had seen it, yet did not save them.

They will most likely blame her for not helping him when he was in danger.

Even if they don't say anything, they still hate it in their hearts.

She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

So she didn't say anything.

Finally, Bai Chen sent people to search the vicinity of Baicheng.

In the evening, they found the bodies scattered at the bottom of the cliff. The couple from Nanchang recognized Nan Ping'er and the others by the bracelets on the ground.

Later, in retaliation against Yucheng, Nancheng killed the youngest son of the Yucheng city lord...
