Chapter 291 Lord City Lord (Part 4)
Lu Lingjun leisurely peeled an orange and fumbled to feed it to Gu Yanjing: "Let him investigate if he wants to. So what if he finds out?"
"Could you please open your eyes? You almost shoved an orange up my nose." Gu Yan frowned, and only after moving around did he manage to eat the orange.
The orange was so sour that he couldn't even open his eyes.
No, it's too sour. I can't let him be the only one feeling sour.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanjing leaned in and kissed Lu Lingjun, the sour taste in his mouth instantly invading Lu Lingjun's taste buds.
But Lu Lingjun found it very sweet.
Jiaojiao kissed him first, so how could it be sour?
While the old city lord ordered people to investigate whether Lu Lingjun had any prior dealings with Gu Yanjing, he also sent a team to the temple to inquire whether his son was indeed the person in question.
However, he was still worried, so after he recovered, he had someone invite Lu Lingjun over.
The old city lord couldn't see either, nor could Lu Lingjun. The two blind men sat facing each other, speechless for a moment.
It was too quiet. Lu Lingjun remained calm, but the old city lord, who had something on his mind, couldn't.
"Feng'er?"
"What brings you here, Father?" Lu Lingjun replied, looking exactly like the original owner of the body.
"Are you really still Feng'er?" The old city lord raised his hand, wanting to touch Lu Lingjun's face, but Lu Lingjun easily dodged it.
"Whether my child is right or wrong, doesn't Father already have the answer in his heart?" Lu Lingjun raised an eyebrow and removed the white cloth covering his eyes.
Having traversed so many dimensions, they are the first to discover that they are not the original owners.
Is this what they call the bond between father and son?
"Where has my Feng'er gone?" The old city lord was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Don't worry, in the cycle of reincarnation, with my protection, he will be rich and prosperous for the next ten lifetimes." Lu Lingjun smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
His father was the same way, protecting him even in death, ensuring his survival.
"Will he be able to see it after he is reincarnated?" The old city lord staggered to his feet.
When Feng'er was young, he often asked him why they couldn't see the things in this world, why they couldn't see their mother's face, and why they couldn't even see their father's face.
He didn't know how to answer his only child at that time.
Generations of people have traded blindness for power—a fate they could not resist, a fact they could not change.
“Yes, he was perfectly healthy after his reincarnation.” Lu Lingjun nodded.
With his divine protection, their path in the cycle of reincarnation is naturally smooth sailing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will return to Ice Phoenix City tomorrow and never enter Illusion Flower City again. I will also keep this matter a secret for Your Majesty." The old city lord knelt down and bowed to Lu Lingjun.
"Hmm." Lu Lingjun nodded. After resolving things here, they could finally settle down in this realm for the time being.
However, just as he was about to leave, the old city lord suddenly stopped him: "Your Majesty, I was unaware that Your Majesty had planned for my son's next life and had secretly sent someone to the temple to tell them that Your Majesty was not my child."
"A temple?" Lu Lingjun turned around.
He'd been in this plane for so long, and this was the first time he'd ever heard of a so-called temple.
It is said that the power of the city lord in this plane comes from the gods. So, does the god live in this temple?
However, his divine sense did not find the true god in this plane of existence.
