"You, who are you?"
The Rock City Lord stammered, staring at the young man in front of him with disbelief.
Chris was a little embarrassed; his acting skills still needed more refinement, and he didn't know how to answer at that moment.
But Su Qing, who was standing to the side, was prepared. She took a small step forward, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the city lord, before the madam died, she asked me to bring the young master to you."
The Lord of Rock City remained silent. He really wanted to ask which lady it was, but he didn't speak, because he felt that if he did, it would make him look like a scoundrel.
Chris remained silent, appearing quite downcast.
The beautiful woman beside him was helpless. What was this illegitimate child that suddenly appeared?
After a moment's thought, a smile bloomed on her face: "Child, I wonder which sister is your mother?"
The young beauty displayed remarkable kindness, which moved the Lord of Rock City.
Chris felt awkward and turned to look at Su Qing.
Su Qing glared at him with exasperation; in this situation, any name could be made up.
He took a small step forward: "Lord City Lord, have you forgotten what you said to my wife by the river back then?"
When the riverbank was mentioned, the Rock Lord's mind flashed... well, no memory of it!
Did you ever say anything to a woman by the river?
The Lord of Rock City couldn't figure it out, but the blood connection was real. He had no brothers or sisters, so if the person in front of him wasn't his son, could he be his father?
"Of course I remember!"
The Lord of Rock City answered without hesitation, but then felt a little embarrassed and looked at the beautiful woman beside him: "Madam, this must be a mistake I made when I was young, but now that he has found me, I can't just ignore him!"
The beautiful lady glared at him, secretly seething with hatred, but she couldn't complain on the surface.
That would make her seem jealous, causing the man in front of her to dislike her.
She gritted her teeth and forced a slightly strained smile: "Since he's your son, he'll definitely stay. I'll treat him like my own son."
Chris remained silent. What had happened?
Why did he believe it so easily? And just now, looking at the man above, he felt a strong sense of blood connection, an exceptionally close feeling. He felt that even his own father was not as close to this man as he was to him.
His face turned pale. Could the person in front of him be his biological father?
No way, it must be that dragon's doing.
Chris thought firmly to himself, but it felt a little strange. He was already 18 years old, and the woman in front of him looked to be only 20. Calling a woman who was two or three years older than him "mother" felt a bit odd.
To avoid further awkwardness, the Lord of Rock City quickly instructed his servants to take Chris and Su Qing to arrange rooms.
After the two were taken away, the Lord of Rock City hurriedly accompanied them, smiling as he looked at his wife. Sure enough, he saw the woman who had just looked so loving glaring at him fiercely.
Her cherry-like lips were pouting, her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears were welling up in them, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of Rock City felt extremely distressed and quickly comforted him, "It was an accident, just an accident. Although I used to be a womanizer, I always took good precautions. This must be an accident!"
After the Lord of Rock City made repeated assurances and numerous promises, Lady Mei's anger and resentment subsided somewhat.
"What do you plan to do about that person's son?"
When the beautiful lady asked about serious matters, her expression became unusually serious.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, after all, the current Lord of Rock City only had this one son, and if he stayed by his side for a long time, he might very well inherit the position of the future Lord of the City.
Although she is not pregnant yet, Mrs. Mei has already begun to make plans for her future child.
Lord Rock City remained silent, feeling conflicted. After all, this was his own son, and although they had only met for the first time today, he couldn't afford to mistreat him. However, he worried that getting too close might displease his wife.
After thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up: "How about letting him manage the magic mine on the North Mountain!"
Going there would be a lucrative job, which wouldn't be unfair to his son, and because of the distance, he wouldn't be able to visit often, nor would it upset his wife too much.
It's a win-win situation. The only worry is whether I, this cheap illegitimate child, will agree.
...
Chris touched his face again, looked at Su Qing, and lowered his voice: "I feel like there's something wrong with my face!"
Su Qing glanced at Chris, whose facial features were distorted due to the skill, and answered without hesitation: "What's wrong? Isn't it normal?"
As he spoke, he took a mirror out of his mouth and handed it to Chris. At the same time, because the distance had increased and exceeded 300 meters, the skill was no longer effective. When Chris looked in the mirror, what was reflected was his original face.
"You're definitely overthinking it!"
Su Qing's unwavering statement left Chris speechless, realizing he had been overthinking things.
The two were led by a servant to a secluded small building, after which the servant withdrew.
Then a maid came and, after a simple tidying up, the man and the dragon moved in, and stayed there for half a month.
During this time, Chris was diligently cultivating, while Su Qing was receiving gifts. Some families and small gangs in the city, upon hearing that the city lord had a son, very conscientiously sent congratulatory gifts. Among them were some precious resources sent by the Rock City Lord to compensate his son.
Su Qing accepted everything without hesitation. In any case, Chris didn't see a single hair on his head. However, he didn't lose out either, as Su Qing took the time to teach him several sword techniques.
Chris was awestruck by the exquisite swordsmanship. It was hard to imagine that a dragon could wield a sword with its claws and still achieve such a level of skill.
Su Qing glanced at his shocked younger brother and pursed his lips. This was nothing, just a small demonstration. As his strength increased, his sword skills were also constantly being developed. His swordsmanship had already reached a level of divine skill, and it was becoming more and more terrifying.
How much longer are we going to have to stay here?
After finishing his sword practice, Chris wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat under a tree, and asked Su Qing a question.
During these two weeks, although he could cultivate in peace, he had not forgotten his purpose in coming here: to take back this city. However, the problem was that the dragon had not made a move in the past two weeks. There had been several good opportunities, but the city lord's wife went on an outing, and he missed them all.
This left Chris completely baffled as to what the dragon was thinking.
Hearing his question, Su Qing glanced at him and sighed, "After following me for so long, haven't you learned anything at all?"
Chris asked in surprise, "Isn't my skin already pretty thick enough?"
Su Qing: "..."
