After leaving Lily Territory, Su Qing returned to Hope City and was extremely surprised to see Chris there.
Su Qing ignored him, looked around the entire city, which remained unchanged. It seemed that neither of these two guys had any talent for management.
If it were Old Sam, the prosperity level would have increased by at least 10% or 20% during the few days he was away.
Of course, it would be good enough if everyone could stay the same as before; Su Qing couldn't expect everyone to be as useful as Old Sam.
Perhaps we could transfer Old Sam over here?
The thought popped into his mind, but he quickly suppressed it; it wasn't the right time yet.
Su Qing had people gather information about the two cities, and the results came quickly.
The City of Blazing Flames! The City of Rocks!
Su Qing flipped through the information she had collected, while Chris stood to the side with his arms crossed, also looking quite interested.
Based on his understanding of the dragon, the owners of these two cities are in for trouble!
After reviewing the information in her hand, Su Qing's face relaxed.
The imagined plan can be tried; let's use the city lord of this rocky city as a breakthrough point.
He looked at Chris, and their eyes met.
Chris's face twitched. "I was so stupid. I only saw that others would be unlucky, but I ignored myself!"
He sighed and looked helplessly at Su Qing: "What are you planning to do?"
...
Rock City!
True to its name, the city was built between two mountains, connecting them. The walls were made of large, thick, and hard rocks, with only two gates, one at the front and one at the back. The city lord's mansion at the very center was also a rugged rock structure.
However, this man with such a wild aesthetic sense was also exceptionally romantic.
One of the most famous sights in the Rock City is that women stand in front of the city lord's mansion and yell at him for being shameless, forgetting his past, and so on.
The city lord would hide in his mansion, letting the woman finish her rant and leave, and then continue doing whatever he wanted.
However, not long ago, this city lord suddenly changed his personality and became exceptionally infatuated with the new city lord's wife.
Su Qing looked at Chris: "You were able to play the male concubine so well last time, I believe you can do just as well playing the son this time!"
Chris's face was dark; ever since he met the dragon, his face had rarely been fair.
"Is your plan really feasible? To play the other party's illegitimate son? It seems so unreliable. Besides, the blood connection between strong people cannot be faked. Just like my father and I, we can sense each other even through a wall."
Su Qing smiled and didn't say anything. If it weren't for the newly unlocked skill, it might have been a bit troublesome, but now, he could make Chris himself wonder who his father was.
They went straight to the city lord's mansion, where the guards stopped them, their expressions icy: "The city lord's mansion of Rock City is off-limits without permission..."
Su Qing slapped him to the ground, cursing under her breath, her expression icy: "You blind fool, this is our young city lord!"
Su Qing's words immediately revealed her to be a sycophant, especially the fawning look in her eyes when she turned to look at Chris.
Chris instantly felt relieved, releasing years of pent-up frustration, and even his cultivation bottleneck loosened somewhat.
The guard was stunned, and the others were also shocked by those words.
Young City Lord?
Are you referring to the city lord's son?
But where does the city lord have any offspring?
illegitimate child?
My mind is filled with questions, but there's no doubt that there's some juicy gossip to come.
The onlookers became excited; it had been a long time since they'd had such a juicy piece of gossip since the city lord had become so infatuated.
The guards exchanged glances and then one of them quickly ran into the city lord's mansion, apparently to report the situation.
In the city lord's mansion, a tall, well-defined middle-aged man who appeared to be only in his thirties held a beautiful woman in his arms, a dazed smile on his face.
He used to be a playboy, but ever since he met the beauty in front of him, he has settled down.
"Madam, we've allied ourselves with the Purple Fire Mercenary Group, but we've also offended the Lily Territory. The days ahead won't be easy!"
The Rock Lord looked worried as he recalled what had happened some time ago.
In their region, among the four major forces, Lily Territory is undoubtedly number one, followed by the Purple Fire Mercenary Group.
If his wife hadn't come from a mercenary group, how could he have made such a foolish decision as to abandon his first choice and side with his second?
The beautiful woman in his arms rolled her eyes at him: "I've given you my body, and you can't even do this little thing!"
"The Central Army is about to begin its encirclement and suppression. Lily Territory is too busy to even look after itself. Under these circumstances, how could it dare to offend Purple Flame?"
Why are you so timid and afraid of trouble?
Hearing the beauty's complaint, the city lord quickly explained, "I'm not being cowardly; I'm thinking about our future. Once this is over, Lily Territory will settle accounts with us sooner or later!"
"What should we do then?"
The beauty pursed her lips, saying nothing, but her eyes seemed to hold a mysterious meaning.
Just as the Lord of Rock City was about to ask for details, a guard suddenly rushed in to report.
"Lord City Lord, there is a young man outside who claims to be the Young City Lord and wishes to see you!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent and eerie. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the beauty stared at the Rock City Lord with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
Lord Rock felt wronged: "My beauty, let me explain. Since I've been with you, I've never been unfaithful. Even if I was a womanizer before, I've always been careful. There's no way I could have an illegitimate child. You must be a liar."
The beauty snorted coldly, and the Rock City Lord, also annoyed, looked at the guard and said in an icy voice, "Bring him in!"
He wanted to see which reckless fool dared to impersonate his son!
Su Qing and the other person were brought in, both of them looking extremely calm.
Su Qing's composure was somewhat feigned, but Chris was genuinely calm, his mindset as steady as a rock.
However, such a trivial matter as impersonating someone else's son is unlikely to have much impact on him.
However, when he touched his face, he felt for some reason that his facial features seemed to have changed slightly; perhaps he was just overthinking it.
The guards led me to a room where there were two people, a man and a woman. The man appeared to be in his thirties, tall, and with distinct features.
The woman was probably just 20 years old, and she was incredibly beautiful.
Their gazes fell on Chris simultaneously, and their pupils instantly contracted.
First, the woman's face darkened instantly. She glared hatefully at the Lord of Rock City, saying, "You look five or six points like me, and you still dare to say you're not my illegitimate child?"
Next was the city lord, who froze as if struck by lightning. The other person had a face almost identical to his own when he was young, and when their eyes met, the connection in their blood was undeniable.
This person in front of me really is my son!
Su Qing was satisfied; this was a skill that could provide a reasonable basis for inheriting an estate.
