Lanling City, in the loot shop!
"I will remember Senior's kindness today. If Senior has any instructions in the future, I will definitely follow them!"
Faced with Shi Fangling's deliberate care, Yu Haoran was touched. He made a promise to the third person besides his sister, Yu Siqi, and Thaling.
After making the promise, Yu Haoran did not notice the strange look in Shi Fangling's eyes. He turned around and left the loot shop with He Ruyu.
The white-haired old man and the Martial King shop assistant looked at each other.
Although they noticed the strong murderous intent in each other's eyes, they only shook their heads and did not chase after them.
After all, Shi Fangling's attitude towards Yu Haoran was a little unusual. They were worried that if they chased after them, Shi Fangling would be displeased. Then, they would really go for wool and come home shorn.
After leaving the loot shop, Yu Haoran immediately used his movement technique and quickly approached the South City with He Ruyu.
However, when he was less than a kilometer away from his residence in the Southern City, he suddenly stopped and instructed He Ruyu.
"Ruyu, use your spiritual sense to tell Wu Zhengjun and Hei Xiong to stay in the residence and not come out. They can only leave the residence when I come back to pick them up."
"Okay!" Nodding, He Ruyu immediately used her spiritual sense to inform Wu Zhengjun and Hei Xiong.
Then, she asked worriedly, "Haoran, where are we going next?"
"Thaling, is there any movement from the Governor's Mansion?" Faced with He Ruyu's question, Yu Haoran did not immediately make a decision. Instead, he first asked Thaling in his mind.
"The City Lord's Mansion is mobilizing experts above the Martial Emperor Realm. It seems that the Single-horned Blue Flaming Bull is extraordinarily powerful. Based on the current speed of the mobilization, I'm afraid it'll take another day or two," the Tower Spirit replied.
Since they could not fight for the three treasures guarded by the Unihorn Green Bull, they would go to Death Valley and exchange for the plant worms with that special beast.
Therefore, Yu Haoran held He Ruyu's hand and rushed to the South City gate as he spoke softly.
"Let's go to Death Valley now!"
…!
City Lord's Mansion, in the reception hall!
Dressed in a blue robe, with a blue essence jade pendant hanging from his waist and an asura mask on his face, Prince Lanling leaned on the back of his throne.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at the east end of the living room. There was an old man in a luxurious robe sitting on an armchair, as well as a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure who was about 30 years old.
"City Lord Lan, a mere disciple of a second-rate sect actually used his pet beast to destroy the restaurant that Madam An Ya had worked so hard to manage. This is a complete disregard of our Lan Ling City's rules and Emperor Qin's laws."
"This Earl hopes that the City Lord can immediately issue a warrant for the arrest of that evil and reckless criminal." The old man in embroidered robes suggested with a murderous look on his face.
"Uncle Gao, Lanling City is a place that abides by the law and pays attention to evidence. Why would the disciples of the Hundred Chi Gate destroy the restaurant that Madam An Ya has been operating for so many years for no reason? We need to investigate this further."
"As for issuing a warrant for the arrest of the entire city, there's no hurry for now!"
Faced with the brocade-robed old man's murderous suggestion, not only did Prince Lanling not issue a warrant for the arrest, he even requested for the cause of the conflict to be investigated. This caused the brocade-robed old man to panic slightly.
This was because the real reason why Yu Haoran destroyed An Ya Restaurant was directly related to him. He had ordered all restaurants and inns in the city not to accept anyone from the Hundred Chi Gate. This kind of thing couldn't be investigated at all.
Therefore, when the brocade-robed old man rushed to stop them, he also requested Prince Lanling to issue a warrant for the arrest of the person who destroyed An Ya Restaurant.
"City Lord, there's no need to investigate at all. I believe that the disciple of the Hundred Chi Gate must be taking revenge on us because of the grudge between our Emperor Qin and the Hundred Chi Gate."
"Therefore, I hope that the City Lord can issue a warrant for the arrest of the criminal with the black bear to prevent him from continuing to commit crimes in Lanling City."
Although Prince Lanling was wearing the Shura Mask and his expression couldn't be seen, he could tell that he was enraged by the brocade-robed old man's forceful request from his subconscious clenching of his fists.
Therefore, Prince Lanling's tone and attitude towards the brocade-robed old man who was taking advantage of his seniority gradually became impolite.
"Our Lanling City is still a city of the Emperor Qin's Empire. Everything has to be done according to the laws of the empire. How can you issue a warrant for the arrest just because you like it?!"
Hearing Prince Lanling's mocking words, the brocade-robed old man stood up and reprimanded with a face full of anger.
"Lan Runji, as the supervisor of the empire, I, Gao An, have the authority to investigate all the officials in Lanling City. I also have the duty to maintain the security of Lanling City."
"According to my investigation, the disciples of the Hundred Chi Gate purposely destroyed Lady An Ya's restaurant because of the grudge between the empire and the sect. They caused unimaginable losses to Lady An Ya."
"Therefore, as the supervisor, I request that you issue a warrant for the arrest of the disciples of the Hundred Chi Gate immediately."
Seeing how Gao An forcefully went against Prince Lanling with his identity as the supervisor, the beautiful lady An Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The reason why she tried to curry favor with Gao An and listened to his arrangements was because she wanted to get to know and interact with the Prince of Lanling. That way, she could have the Prince of Lanling as her backer and establish a foothold in Lanling City.
However, the result of Gao An forcefully going against Prince Lanling would definitely affect her impression in Prince Lanling's mind. She was probably already Gao An's woman in Prince Lanling's mind. This was completely different from her original intention of sucking up to Gao An.
"What if I say no?" Prince Lanling asked with a cold smile in the face of Gao An's aggressive threat.
"Then I will report this to the supervisor supervisor in the form of a secret decree. I'm sure he will be happy to have a chat with Prince Lanling who wants to be independent." The menacing Gao An suddenly sat back down in his armchair and picked up his cup of tea as he threatened with a smile on his face.
"Whatever!"
Unfortunately, King Lanling didn't take Gao An's threat to heart at all. He didn't care at all.
"Bam!" Gao An threw the teacup on the coffee table and looked at Prince Lanling coldly.
Just as the atmosphere in the guest hall was tense and An Ya didn't know how to resolve the situation, a guard outside the guest hall suddenly reported loudly.
"Your Majesty, the owner of the shop on Jingxuan Street, Xia Yuyun, wishes to see you!"
"He's just a lowly merchant. What right does he have to see Prince Lanling? Tell him to scram immediately." Before the King of Lanling could give any orders, Gao An, who was in a bad mood, immediately gave the order on behalf of the King of Lanling.
