"You ….. What did you say? What do you mean by providing relief to the refugees? "The City Lord stared at Luo Xi in shock.
When Luo Xi saw the City Lord's reaction, he knew that he did not know about the matter beforehand. Luo Xi's brows creased up slightly, feeling rather strange in his heart. If it was one of his subordinates, it would have at least informed him and the City Lord. Afterall, the matters in the Clear Breeze City had always been under the control of the two of them and it had always been very stable, without any hiccups. But this youth who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere seemed rather baffling.
"That person bought the manors and flattened them to build little lofts and even got people to move the refugees over there. I heard that not only did they provide free lodgings, they even provided food and drink for free." Luo Xi said as he looked at the City Lord.
The City Lord's face immediately turned a little ugly. "Just where did that person come from? The refugees I let into the city were mostly old and frail, women and children and ordinary people would not be interested in them at all. A bunch of trash like them would be no different from beggars if they were left by the roadside. Why would anyone give them all these things? "
The City Lord paused a moment before he said: "Could it be someone the revered one was looking for? Could it be that the revered one has some other plans in mind? "
Luo Xi shook his head and said: "I am not certain as well. When I went there today, I had originally intended to probe the other party's background but I was not able to see the person. All the manors in the Clear Breeze City were secretly sold by you and your people should know very well who the other party is right?"
With that reminder, the City Lord immediately came to his senses and he immediately sent someone to bring the shopkeeper of the shop over. The moment the shopkeeper saw the City Lord, he immediately knelt down to pay his respects, a fawning smile on his face.
"My Lord, I wonder what orders you have for your humble servant to come here today?" The shopkeeper asked, trembling with fear.
"Some time ago, a youth who came to the shop to buy a large number of manors. Do you know anything about his background?" The City Lord asked with a dark face. When the shopkeeper had reported the matter to him, he had thought that a fool had dropped down from the Heavens and allowed him to scoop up so much gold for nothing. Hence, he had not asked much about the identity of the buyer but had merely guessed that it must be some rich kid who had escaped from some calamity.
But after hearing what Luo Xi said today, the City Lord finally realized that the identity of the youth was not that simple. Otherwise, how else could one explain why a youth like him would spend so much gold to buy so many manors, and not only did he not want to stay in them himself, he was even providing them to the refugees who did not have anything to offer?
The shopkeeper had not thought that the City Lord would suddenly ask about Jun Xie again and he had wanted to lighten up the topic a little. But when he saw the City Lord's face not looking too good, he could only tremble as he recounted everything from Jun Xie's appearance to the purchase of the manor and the construction of the lofts, in great detail once again.
"At that time, the guest said that he wanted to find someone to rebuild the house. I also felt that the idea was a little strange. I asked him a few times out of curiosity, but the guest was very cold and didn't respond at all. I don't know what happened after that."
"So, that person had such a plan from the beginning?" The City Lord frowned in deep thought and asked the shopkeeper to leave.
"Spending such a large sum of money to buy manors and then painstakingly rebuild them to provide them for the refugees to stay in. That person's motives are definitely not simple." The City Lord said thoughtfully.
The corners of Luo Xi's mouth curled up into a sneer. "I do not know what his motives are, but there is one thing that I am certain of now."
