In the spacious courtyard of the Nanhua City Lord's Mansion, a beautiful yet dignified woman, accompanied by dozens of servants and guards, waited quietly.
That beautiful woman is none other than Lin Feifei, the current city lord of Nanhua City!
Night Wind controlled the Lightning Shuttle to descend slowly. When it reached a height of about three meters above the ground, he took Rowling and Zijing off the Lightning Shuttle.
Then Ye Feng waved his hand, and the Lightning Shuttle transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Ye Feng's palm.
"Welcome to Nanhua City, the First Lord of Nanyang!"
Lin Feifei bowed and said politely.
Night Breeze smiled and stepped forward, saying, "I hope my unannounced visit has not caused you any trouble."
"Your Highness Prince Nanling is too kind. It is our honor that you have come to us. How could we possibly cause you any trouble?" Lin Feifei said.
"There's no need to call me King Nanling. You can just call me City Lord Luo. I'm a city lord now, just like you," Ye Feng said with a smile.
“Then I shall respectfully accept your offer, Lord Luo,” Lin Feifei said.
Lin Feifei then gestured for them to come in, saying, "Lord Luo, Ms. Luo Lin, and this young lady guard, please come in."
"please."
Ye Feng raised his hand and entered the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion with Lin Feifei.
Although the Nanhua City Lord's Mansion was very large and looked quite grand, the interior decoration was very ordinary. The furnishings were basically made of ordinary wood and had nothing to do with luxury.
Looking at the layout, Ye Feng showed a hint of curiosity.
Seemingly sensing what Ye Feng was thinking, Lin Feifei took the initiative to say, "When my husband was still alive, he advocated simplicity in everything and eliminated extravagance and waste. So whether it was clothing, food, housing, transportation, or daily necessities, everything was based on practicality. Anything that was not practical was discarded by him."
“This is a virtue, and it deserves to be promoted,” Night Breeze nodded.
Lin Feifei didn't respond to Ye Feng's words, but instead asked, "May I ask what brings City Lord Luo here?"
"Nothing important, I'm just getting old and want to travel and see more of the beautiful scenery of the Southern Territory before I close my eyes and kick the bucket," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Rowling almost burst out laughing.
Zijing quickly raised both hands to cover her mouth, trying to hold it in, but she still made a "pfft pfft pfft" sound.
Lin Feifei's expression, however, was very stiff.
She paused for a few seconds, then said seriously, "Lord Luo, you are very witty, but I want to hear the truth."
"Truth? Fine, then I'll tell you now that I discovered members of the Eternal Dream realm in your city lord's mansion, and that's why I came here. Do you believe me?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Lin Feifei was immediately shocked.
The maids and servants serving them all changed their expressions drastically, especially the steward.
He suddenly looked at Ye Feng and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, clearly ready to make a move.
The butler's actions were undoubtedly extremely rude, but Ye Feng didn't even glance at him.
After all, this butler was only a True Yuan Realm martial artist, and he had not even reached the peak of the True Yuan Realm. In Ye Feng's eyes, he really had no intimidation or presence at all.
"Scared?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
"I was indeed frightened by you, Lord Luo. I hope this is just a joke," Lin Feifei said slowly, taking a deep breath.
"I'm not joking, it's true. If I hadn't discovered that there were members of the Eternal Dream in your City Lord's Mansion, why would I have suddenly come to visit you out of the blue? I'm here to help you, City Lord Lin," Ye Feng said earnestly.
Lin Feifei smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that the reason why Li Huayun, the city lord of Huasheng City, and his wife died suddenly was because of the Eternal Dream?"
“Yes.” Night Breeze nodded.
"Then will I also disappear from this world?" Lin Feifei asked again.
“If you are a member of the Eternal Dream, or have assisted the Eternal Dream in committing any heinous acts, then this is the case. I will make you disappear from this world,” Night Wind said.
"Lord Luo, you put a lot of pressure on me," Lin Feifei said.
“I’m just stating the facts,” Night Wind said.
Lin Feifei took a few deep breaths, then said with a firm expression, "Then I can guarantee that there are absolutely no members of Eternal Dream in my City Lord's Mansion."
"What's the point of your guarantee? Can you just say you don't have one and that's it? Do you even know how to identify members of the Eternal Dream?" Night Wind retorted.
Night Breeze's questions, one after another, left Lin Feifei speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, the steward strode over, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "If you continue to insult our Lord of Nanhua City, even if you were the first King of Nanling from seven hundred years ago, I would not stand idly by!"
"Your butler is very loyal," Ye Feng said to Lin Feifei with a smile.
Lin Feifei hurriedly looked at the steward and scolded, "Old Qian, step back! If Lord Luo really wanted to harm me, he wouldn't be sitting here calmly talking to me, and besides, you can't stop him."
The butler hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement and stepped aside.
Lin Feifei then said to Ye Feng, "I apologize to you on his behalf, Lord Luo, but please don't mind, he meant no harm."
After a pause, Lin Feifei continued, "His name is Qian Feng. He is the steward of my city lord's mansion and also my bodyguard. Moreover, my husband had a very good relationship with him when he was alive. He was my husband's sworn brother."
"I see."
Ye Feng nodded, glanced at Qian Feng, then looked away and turned back to Lin Feifei.
“Lord Lin, I did not lie to you. What I just said is all true. There are indeed members of Eternal Dream in your city lord's mansion, that is beyond doubt. But I cannot yet determine exactly how many members of Eternal Dream are there, or who they are.”
"However, I will investigate slowly, and I believe I will find out sooner or later."
When Ye Feng spoke, his eyes stared directly at Lin Feifei without any attempt to hide, as if he could pierce right through her body.
Lin Feifei said, "Then please, Lord Luo, investigate as you see fit. You can investigate for as long as you want. If you find out who the members of Eternal Dream are, you can deal with them directly. I will absolutely not stop you."
"With Lord Lin's words, I can rest assured," Ye Feng said.
Lin Feifei then stood up: "It seems that Lord Luo is not planning to leave anytime soon. In that case, I will have the servants arrange rooms for you now. Please wait a moment."
Lin Feifei quickly had her servants arrange rooms for Ye Feng and Luo Lin Zijing.
Upon entering the room, Ye Feng raised his hand and set up a series of restrictions, isolating the inside from the outside.
No sooner had Ye Feng finished doing all this than Zi Jing couldn't wait to shout, "See? I told you there was a reason you came to Nanhua City. Nine times out of ten, you wanted to kill the city lord of Nanhua City. You wouldn't admit it, but now you should admit it!"
