Chapter 1357: New City Lord

Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dim study, Xiahou Yi sat in the wheelchair with a pained expression.

In front of him stood Elder Li and Elder Hai, who were also in pain.

The two of them did not expect the City Lord Manor to change after returning from a trip.

Elder Liu was dead, and Elder Zhao had also been killed to save the City Lord.

Actually, they were in the City Lord Manor when the City Lord was attacked.

Unfortunately, when they arrived, the City Lord had already been beheaded by the assassin. Steward Chang hugged the City Lord’s head and cried uncontrollably.

However, even so, the assassin did not stop and kicked Steward Chang into the sea.

Later on, Steward Chang was salvaged, but the City Lord’s head disappeared.

Because they had not found the head, they had not mourned to the outside world. They had frozen the City Lord’s corpse with a thousand-year-old ice coffin.

The guard beside Xiahou Yi said, “I called the two elders over today to find the mastermind behind the assassination of the City Lord.”

–

“Hundred Flowers Palace!”

“What? What does this have to do with the Hundred Flowers Palace?”

In Ling Yun’s room, after hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s guess, Wei Liulang said in shock, “Ling Yun is the City Lord’s biological son. Why would he assassinate the City Lord? Is he crazy? No one will believe such a thing.”

Wei Qing said, “I have the same thoughts as Xiaoxiao. Xiahou Yi will frame Ling Yun.”

Wei Liulang expressed his doubts. “Are your guesses reliable? His biological son killed him? How much hatred does he have? Even if he did let Palace Lord Yun Xi and Ling Yun down, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he’s trying his best to make up for it. Moreover, as long as one’s not blind, anyone can tell that he plans to pass the position of City Lord to Ling Yun. Ling Yun has no reason to kill him! He has to find a convincing excuse to lie!”

Ghostfear nodded.

He also felt that if Xiahou Yi wanted to frame Ling Yun, it would be difficult to convince the public.

The Palace Lord and Wei Xu didn’t comment for the time being.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “What if the City Lord suddenly realizes that Ling Yun isn’t qualified to be the City Lord?”

“Huh?” Wei Liulang was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the four of them and said, “The City Lord saw through Dad’s true identity and found out that Dad is also a descendant of Emperor Wu. Moreover, Dad came to the island to snatch the dragon crystal so that he could open Emperor Wu’s Mausoleum. The City Lord immediately wanted to kill Dad, but Ling Yun and Father had a deep relationship and stood on Father’s side. The City Lord threatened Ling Yun, ‘If you want to inherit the position of the City Lord, kill Wei Xu for me. Otherwise, don’t even think about returning to the Xiahou family in your life!’ What will Ling Yun do?”

Wei Liulang said, “Of course he would disregard the City Lord. Ling Yun doesn’t care about the position of the City Lord.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It doesn’t matter if he’s cares about it or not. What’s important is that others think he does.”

Wei Qing said, “That’s right. Compared to the truth that Ling Yun is indifferent to fame and fortune, the people on the island are more willing to believe that he’s ambitious and jealous. For the position of City Lord, he killed this biological father who killed his mother.”

Wei Liulang was enlightened. “That makes sense.”

Boom!

A loud commotion suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Wei Liulang immediately flashed out.

It was the Slave Killer fighting a man who was wrapped up like a big black dumpling.

The Slave Killer threw Wei Xiaobao high into the air and slapped the other party’s face!

The other party hurriedly blocked it with his fist and was forced back more than ten steps. The soles of his shoes were smoking.

“Hiss—”

He gasped. “Grandpa! Why haven’t you returned to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion? Why are you still here?!”

“Wu Wa Wa Wa!”

Wei Xiaobao fell.

The Slave Killer flew up and caught her steadily, landing lightly.

Wei Xiaobao was so excited that she crossed her feet. “Wu wu wu wu!”

After mastering the game of flying high, the Slave Killer developed the skill to walk in the garden and bask in the sun.

In the morning, he would carry Wei Xiaobao around when she woke up.

When Wei Xiaobao woke up in the afternoon, he carried her around again.

In total, it was equivalent to a day.

Just as he carried Wei Xiaobao out today, he bumped into an unknown object.

He looked old and shabby.

But this was not a reason for him to attack.

This guy was in his way!

There were a total of 49 steps from here to the garden!

If he blocked it, he would take one less step!

He could not tolerate it!

Wei Liulang recognized Lu Aotian’s voice. “Sect Master Lu?”

Lu Aotian quickly gestured. “Shhh!”

“Yes?”

Wei Liulang looked at him in confusion.

Lu Aotian limped over. The soles of his feet hurt so much that he hissed. He gritted his teeth and muttered, “Grandpa, why did you hit me so hard…”

Seeing the Slave Killer raise his palm again, Lu Aotian trembled. “You’re still fighting!”

Wei Liulang pulled him over. “You’re in the way of the Slave Killer.”

Don’t ask him how he knew. If he did, he would have been beaten up.

The Slave Killer carried Wei Xiaobao and continued to walk under the sun.

Wei Xiaobao saw the golden flowers blooming along the way and cried happily.

“This path is Xiaobao’s favorite path.”

Wei Liulang added.

Then, he sized up the Slave Killer strangely. “Why are you wrapped up like this?”

Lu Aotian said, “I secretly came over. Are your father and the Palace Lord around?”

Wei Liulang brought him to the Azure Cloud Palace.

Lu Aotian sat down on the futon and took off the bamboo hat on his head. He said with a complicated expression, “I came because I have two pieces of news to tell you. The first is that Xiahou Yi has become the new City Lord.”

“He… became the City Lord?” Wei Liulang was extremely surprised.

The others were more or less surprised, but not too surprised.

When Xiahou Yi killed Xiahou Qing’s substitute, they guessed that Xiahou Yi wanted to be the City Lord.

“What’s the second news?” Wei Xu asked.

Lu Aotian glanced at everyone. “The second news is that the murderer of the City Lord has been found.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Who?”

Lu Aotian: “Xie Jinnian.”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “It’s actually Xie Jinnian… It’s completely different from what we guessed… What is Xiahou Yi doing?”

Wei Qing pondered and said, “Xie Jinnian is only an adopted son. There’s no need to frame him with such a serious matter. He could have used it to deal with Ling Yun, the greatest threat.”

Palace Lord looked at Wei Xu.

Wei Xu frowned. “Moreover, it’s really surprising that he didn’t take the opportunity to bite the Wei family.”

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was overkill to frame Xie Jinnian.

This was not to say that Xie Jinnian was very weak, but that Xiahou Yi could maximize the benefit by claiming that Ling Yun was the mastermind and Xie Jinnian was an accomplice. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Wouldn’t it be easier to kill two birds with one stone?

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “This Xiahou Yi is really unpredictable.”

This was not the first time they had guessed his plan wrong.

When they first found out that there was a substitute, they thought that there would be another scene similar to the substitution in the Southern Wilderness’ royal family.

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yi killed the “City Lord” that night.

Then it was this .

He gave up on the good opportunity to frame Ling Yun and only dealt with Xie Jinnian.

He was like a lunatic whose actions untraceable.

For the first time, Su Xiaoxiao felt troubled. “What… does he want to do?”

Wei Qing said, “He probably has a bigger goal.”
