However, Fenghao was naturally able to clearly sense the deputy commander's reappearance. Immediately, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. This fellow was indeed a wily old fox. If he had been careless earlier and directly walked out from the fake mountain, he might have been discovered.
"This old fox is quite cautious."
Feng Hao muttered to himself in a low voice. Now that both the vice commander and the other figure hidden in the shadows had completely disappeared, Feng Hao could naturally relax. However, the problem at hand was the person in front of him.
A faint body fragrance assailed his nostrils. As he felt the soft arm, Feng Hao could not help but reveal a playful expression. Just who was this person? Could she be the Drifting Cloud City's city lord?
He remembered that Emperor Le had once mentioned that the Drifting Cloud City's city lord was a woman. Coupled with the current situation, it matched up with Feng Hao's guess.
"Who are you?"
Feng Hao asked straightforwardly. He was not afraid of exposing his identity. After all, not many people knew who he was, not to mention that the person in front of him was a friend and not an enemy.
The black-robed woman coldly snorted. Soon after, she ignored Feng Hao. After glaring viciously at Feng Hao, she turned to leave.
"Wait. You can come and go as you please." The corners of Fenghao's mouth curled up slightly. He immediately stretched out his palm and blocked the other party's path. Because the space inside the fake mountain was rather small, Fenghao did not expect that his palm would coincidentally touch a soft spot when he moved.
Immediately, the situation became awkward. Fenghao did not expect that such a situation would occur. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do. The black-robed woman glared angrily, as if she wanted to kill Fenghao.
"Let go."
The black-robed woman's voice was also very soft. After all, she was also afraid that any movement would alarm the two old foxes. If that happened, the gains would not make up for the losses.
"Eh." Fenghao immediately gave an awkward smile and hurriedly extended his hand back. There was an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry on his face. This was going to be awkward.
Under the black-robed woman's murderous gaze, Feng Hao slowly extended his hand and forced a smile. "However, who exactly are you?"
"It's none of your business. Just pretend that you didn't see me."
The black-robed woman coldly said. She looked at Feng Hao with a disgusted expression. This man had actually placed his hand on her breasts. He was simply courting death. If it was any other time, she would have long gone berserk.
However, they were still in the vice commander's mansion and they definitely could not make any noise. Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and endure.
After finishing her sentence, the black-robed woman ignored Feng Hao's strange expression. She slightly extended her Divine Sense to scout the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, she directly left like a cool breeze and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Oh my, that woman can't really be the city lord of Drifting Cloud City, right?" Fenghao watched as the black-robed woman left. After which, he muttered to himself thoughtfully. However, he was also uncertain in his heart. After all, he was the lord of a city. If he were to eavesdrop like this, he would feel like he was lowering his status.
However, no matter what, he did not gain anything from tonight's trip. At the very least, he was able to understand a lot of useful information from that conversation. This allowed Feng Hao to have a clearer understanding of the current situation.
"Looks like the situation in Drifting Cloud City is very complicated." Feng Hao muttered to himself. Soon after, his figure turned into a shadow and quietly disappeared from the garden.
Due to his previous experience, although the security in the mansion was even tighter, it was not much of a problem for Feng Hao. If he could enter, he could naturally leave. Given the current situation, there were guards patrolling everywhere. However, Feng Hao seemed to be uninhabited as he stealthily slipped out from under the noses of so many people.
After leaving the deputy commander's mansion, Fenghao realized that the entire Drifting Cloud City had descended into an indescribably tense atmosphere because of what had happened in the deputy commander's mansion. The originally empty streets were now filled with guards who were going from house to house, searching for the missing person.
Looking at this scene, Feng Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly. He immediately returned to the inn, but what surprised him was that Le Huang had not returned yet.
As for the two seniors, Bao Xian and Xuan Yi, they had long been alarmed by the commotion in the Drifting Cloud City. When they saw that Fenghao and the rest were not around, they had already roughly guessed that they would not be able to escape responsibility for this matter.
After seeing Feng Hao return, Bao Xian and Xuan Yi hurriedly asked, "What did you guys do? Why is the entire Drifting Cloud City alarmed?"
"We just went to scout for some information." Feng Hao shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Are Le Huang and Nangong Wuji back yet?"
"No. Where did Young Master go? Nothing can happen to them." Bao Xian asked anxiously. If anything happened to Le Huang, the two of them would not know how to explain it to Le Xiao.
"Don't worry, they should be fine. They should be back soon." Feng Hao said thoughtfully. He was not worried about Le Huang and Nangong Wuji. Even if they were discovered, there were not many people in the Drifting Cloud City who could make them stay.
Unless a Sovereign came personally. However, Feng Hao could sense that there were no Sovereigns in the Drifting Cloud City. Otherwise, he would have sensed them long ago.
At this moment, two black figures jumped in from the window, giving Bao Xian and Xuan Yi a fright. However, they heaved a sigh of relief when they recognized that it was Le Huang.
"You guys are finally back." Fenghao smiled faintly. Indeed, the two of them had returned unscathed. That was enough.
"Let's not talk about it. Not long after we entered, the guards of the City Lord Mansion were mobilized for some unknown reason. Wuji and I didn't dare to stay any longer, so we could only find an opportunity to sneak back. However, we didn't manage to find out anything." Emperor Le tore off her black cloth and said gloomily.
