Chapter 2992: Chapter 2992: I Have to Trouble You Again This Time
"Seeing their confidence, it should be possible, right?" City Lord Bai pondered aloud.
"Besides, we are here too. With so many beastmen in the Beast Domain, they aren’t just freeloaders. When it comes to life or death situations, I don’t believe they would just sit back and do nothing."
Though those city lords really do confine themselves to their own little territories, when faced with major issues, everyone should still be quite united, right?
...
"They’re gone?"
The Head of Le Family, who was in the middle of tidying his clothes and preparing to personally visit with Steward Zhao, nearly threw the attendant out upon hearing the news.
Weren’t they supposed to go and apologize to the large household? It was forgivable that people weren’t available yesterday, but they even left today?
"Yes, Family Head, the people we sent to keep an eye outside the City Lord Residence saw the couple leave, along with Young City Lord Bai and Hong Tianxu," Steward Zhao replied cautiously.
He hadn’t expected that those who had recently caused the Family Head to suffer a loss would just leave like that, and the Family Head hadn’t even managed to benefit from them.
Clearly, the Family Head would be very angry, and hopefully, he wouldn’t vent his anger on him.
He was already robbed by the young masters last night and lost quite a few good things. If the Family Head were to blame him further, he truly wouldn’t be able to endure any longer.
"Young City Lord Bai also left?"
The Head of Le Family was full of doubt. Wasn’t Young City Lord Bai busy with the magic beast upheaval in the Cloud-Touching Forest? Why would he leave with those two people?
"Which direction did they go?" he asked again.
"They headed in the direction of Fan City," Steward Zhao replied.
Hearing this, Old Jing, who had been standing to the side all along, felt a sense of alarm. How coincidental, he was arranging for his people to retreat to Fan City these past few days, and now Qian Jiyun and his wife were heading in that direction?
No, the Family Head must not associate this with Fan City, he needed to find an excuse.
Got it.
"Family Head, they were probably invited by Young City Lord Bai to resolve the magic beast upheaval in the Cloud-Touching Forest, which is also in that direction," he suggested.
With this reminder, the Head of Le Family realized that, indeed, the Cloud-Touching Forest is in that direction, and it is very close to Fan City.
He had heard that Fan City had been constantly under attack by demonic beasts, almost unable to hold on. It was evident how serious the magic beast upheaval in the Cloud-Touching Forest was.
No matter if that couple was going to Fan City or the Cloud-Touching Forest, they were going to resolve that issue.
However, he frowned.
"Just what is the background of that couple, for Young City Lord Bai to invite them to the Cloud-Touching Forest? Are they certain they can handle the magic beast upheaval?"
If so, then he really needed to reevaluate that couple; they might truly be honored guests of the City Lord Residence.
"Old Jing, I’ll have to trouble you this time."
He took a deep breath, looking at Old Jing beside him.
"Please give your orders, Family Head."
Although Old Jing wished to avoid getting tangled with the City Lord Residence’s matters, given the Head of Le Family’s straightforward directive, he couldn’t refuse and had to brace himself to face it.
"The magic beast upheaval in the Cloud-Touching Forest—take your people and provide reinforcement immediately. You should know what to do, right?" Saying this, the Head of Le Family patted Old Jing on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Old Jing abruptly looked up, somewhat incredulous. Could such a good opportunity exist? This would make it even more convenient for him to withdraw from the Le Family. The Head of Le Family had already provided him with the perfect excuse.
