The head of the Yu family, one of the three major families, is Mo Jinghao's lackey; he always takes the lead in everything.
He plays the bad guy, and Mo Jinghao plays the good guy; the two work together in perfect harmony.
The head of the Yu family felt as if the gazes of the two men were like two sharp swords, one on each side of his neck, making him feel cold all over.
But he still stepped forward.
"First, as the city lord, you do not care about the three major families or the people in the city. You have stubbornly abandoned your spiritual power and asked to marry the eldest prince."
"Secondly, you treated the eldest prince like a dog, offending the royal family. Now that you're the city lord, you're undoubtedly bringing disaster to Moyang City."
"Third, you are now a cripple and blind. If Moyang City and its people are in danger, how can you protect them?"
Mo Yunzhao narrowed his eyes, listening to her impassioned speech with an indifferent expression.
"Therefore, you, Mo Yunzhao, are not worthy of being the city lord at all!"
Mo Jinghao rebuked in a deep voice: "Patriarch Yu, you must not be disrespectful to the City Lord!"
The others chimed in, “Patriarch Yu is right. Currently, only the Second Master of the Mo family is qualified to be the city lord, to lead us, and to protect the people.”
Mo Yunzhao narrowed her eyes, her beautiful, unfocused gaze sweeping over them lightly.
Without exception, all three major families sided with Mo Jinghao.
Not a single person has been neutral; they've all been bought off.
Ling Jingyu reached out, grabbed a strand of Mo Yunzhao's hair, and slowly wrapped it around his fingers before untying it and playing with it repeatedly.
He raised his charming peach blossom eyes, looked at the head of the Yu family, and gently parted his lips.
"As the Crown Prince, I was unaware that Lord Mo had offended the royal family. How did you find out? Could it be that you have replaced me, the Emperor, and the entire royal family?"
His voice was gentle, but at this moment it sounded like frozen water droplets falling to the ground.
It shatters, the cold seeps into your body, and there are hidden risks.
The head of the Yu family knelt down in fear. "This humble subject is terrified. I beg Your Highness to punish me. However, today's matter concerns Moyang City. I implore Your Highness not to interfere. This is also an agreement between Moyang City and the Emperor."
The royal family is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of Moyang City; this is the rule.
Mo Yunzhao turned her head to the side, unable to see Ling Jingyu playing with her hair.
She still retorted angrily, "Your Highness, please don't interfere."
Ling Jingyu looked at the loosened black hair, brought it to his nose, took a light sniff, and squinted his peach blossom eyes with satisfaction. "Then I'll listen to City Lord Mo. I'll just watch the show."
With the Crown Prince not intervening, the Yu family head became even bolder and more audacious.
He stood up and looked directly at Mo Yunzhao. "You are not worthy to be the city lord. Please hand over the city lord's token, and we will elect a new city lord. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Ling Jingyu paused slightly as he wrapped Mo Yunzhao's hair around his fingers, then continued to do so.
Mo Yunlan was furious and stepped forward to protect Mo Yunzhao.
She glared fiercely with her beautiful eyes, "Grandpa said that Mo Yunzhao is the only one who can be the city lord of Moyang City. She is not worthy. Do you think you are the only ones worthy? Are you forcing her to give up the position of city lord? Aren't you afraid that my grandfather will come back and settle accounts with you?"
Everyone's expression changed slightly; Old Master Mo was known for his protectiveness.
The head of the Yu family snorted, “With the old city lord back, we have a reason to be here. In short, the current Mo Yunzhao is not worthy to be the city lord. The three of us family heads have discussed with the elders of the Mo family and have decided to choose one of the eldest young lady and the second master to serve as the new city lord.”
Moreover, the old city lord's journey is fraught with danger, and whether he can return is another matter entirely.
What is there to fear?
