Ah!
Bei-Li!?
"What are you doing here? And just now, what did you say?"
Suddenly, a young woman appeared. She had white skin, long hair, round, beautiful eyes, and a very well-proportioned figure, especially her breasts. And she was the Green Mist Forest City Governor's only beloved daughter.
"I said I'll ask that young man myself, Father!" the young woman smiled and replied to her father. From what she had heard of the story, she was very interested in this young man. So, she volunteered to go to find his identity by herself.
"No, Bei-Li, my daughter! I'll definitely not allow you to do such a dangerous thing!" When the City Governor heard the confirmation from his beloved daughter, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately refused his daughter's request.
"Not at all dangerous, Father! I think that man will definitely do nothing to me because I'm your daughter. No one dare hurt your daughter!" The young woman did not give up either. She tried various excuses.
"No matter what, it's not good! I'll never let you do that. And if you disobey me, I'll punish you severely!" The City Governor knew his daughter's character well. She was self-centered and stubborn. She often did whatever she wanted without paying attention to him. Because her mother always helped to defend her. But this time, he would not care about his wife. He would severely punish his daughter if she did not listen to him.
"Father!" The young woman knew that this time her father was serious and would really do it. So, she did not dare to argue. She could only lower her head and walk back out of the hall.
Sigh!
"Young Miss is overbearing. If it weren't for such a big deal, it wouldn't be dangerous to let her go out and check. If it really was that young man's action, she might be in danger!" Chancellor said tiredly. He was the City Governor's confidant and had also been taking care of the young woman since childhood.
"I think so, Chancellor. But what can we do since we have no idea who he is? And it would be impossible for us to ask him directly," the City Governor agreed with the elder's thought. He felt extremely embarrassed. Because this villain was so strong that he could eliminate all the clans in the city.
"We may have to ask the Young Master of the Green Mist Forest Escort Agency to help us. Maybe Young Master Zhang-Long can ask about that young man's origin."
Umm!
"True as you said. We should ask him to help us. Hurry up! Quickly send someone to bring him to meet me. I want to talk to him directly!" Hearing this suggestion, the City Governor's eyes widened and sparkled. This method had a high probability of success.
"Yes, sir, City Governor!"
After the City Governor issued the order, three senior officials immediately rushed out of the City Governor's residence to Green Mist Forest Escort Agency. It only took them an hour to return with Zhang-Long.
"Respect, City Governor!"
"Respect, City Governor!"
When the young man arrived at the main hall in the City Governor's mansion, he immediately greeted the City Governor politely and humbly. However, Zhang-Long did not come alone, there was also another young man standing beside him.
Ah!
Everyone immediately knew that he was that young man. And his identity had put a lot of pressure on everyone in this hall. No one expected that with the City Governor's order to bring Zhang-Long over there, Zheng-Fu would also come along.
"City Governor, is there something you want to say to me, sir? Or did I do something wrong?" Zhang-Long asked with a worried look.
"Oh, no! It's not like that at all, Nephew Zhang-Long! You haven't done anything wrong. I want to see you today because I... I... Erm... I only have a few questions to ask you!" The City Governor hurriedly rejected Zhang-Long's question before trying to tell him his purpose. But because the matter was about the young man standing next to Zhang-Long, the City Governor stammered.
"Excuse me, City Governor."
Clack! Clack! Clack!
But at that moment, Zheng-Fu, who had been standing still, suddenly spoke with a smile as wide as his teeth could be seen. His voice sounded like a sound of lightning striking from the heavens. It made everyone's expressions more serious, as if they were facing a very dangerous enemy.
Huh!?
"Why is everyone acting so frightened? Or do you think I'm the villain who wiped out the Black Bamboo Group last night? Oh! It has to be like that. Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought Elder Brother Zhang-Long here to ask him where I came from?"
Ah!
Zheng-Fu's words made them even more panicked and distrustful. Even the City Governor, who was at the eighth level of the Deity Soul stage, could not help but feel sweat on his forehead because an invisible pressure was pressing on him. As for the others, they could only sense that in the split second that Zheng-Fu spoke, the temperature in the hall had skyrocketed greatly.
"City Governor, for some things you shouldn't know, you better not want to know. But if you want to know that much, I'll let you know. By the way, are you confident that you'll be able to accept its consequences once you learn about it from me? Because once you know it, you won't be able to turn back!" Zheng-Fu continued to speak slyly and with a hint of threat.
Gulp!!!
The sound of swallowing saliva echoed throughout the hall. Even Zhang-Long could not resist gulping after the others. Because he wanted to know as well if wiping out the Black Bamboo Group was Zheng-Fu's action. Indeed, where did Zheng-Fu come from?
"How about that, City Governor? Do you still want to know?" Zheng-Fu continued to repeat his question, urging the City Governor to make a decision.
"I want to know! I'm very curious, you can just tell me alone!" But at that moment, the young woman who was hiding behind the entrance spoke up. Before she ran out with a very interested expression.
"Bei Li!"
"Young Miss Bei-Li!"
The young woman's appearance brought everyone back to their senses. Especially the City Governor, who loved his daughter so much. He rushed to stop his daughter immediately.
Thump!
"You must not go near that man! We still don't know who he is or where he came from. Before knowing exactly who he is, order guards to surround this mansion!" The City Governor made a decisive decision. He did not care what would happen. But he would not allow anyone to harm his beloved daughter.
"Father! Why do you have to do that? I don't see him as a dangerous person at all. Are you overthinking? Besides, wouldn't it be too rude to do this!" Previously, she might have been self-willed. But now, her manner had changed, and her words were very reasonable.
"I'm just… just preventing. I didn't mean to… do bad things!" The City Governor was stunned when scolded by his daughter. Due to this situation, the pressured atmosphere in the main hall was greatly reduced.
"City Governor, you haven't answered my question yet. Do you still want to know?" Zheng-Fu did not intervene when the father and daughter were talking. But when the two finished speaking, he asked again.
"I already told you that I wanted to know. Father and I are like the same person. My words..."
"I didn't ask you, Miss! I'm asking your father. Even though you're his daughter, you don't have the right to answer this question instead of him! Besides, you're a woman, you should act like a woman a bit, not acting like a man like this. Behaving like this, who would want to marry you?"
"You!"
However, before the young woman could finish speaking, Zheng-Fu raised his hand and interrupted her. Because he did not want to listen to her answer. She was just the City Governor's daughter. She was not the City Governor himself who had the power to make decisions for the well-being of the citizens. Before finishing his words, Zheng-Fu teased her with the last words that would pierce her heart.
"Enough, Bei-Li! It was right as that young man said. I'm the City Governor, so my decision is extremely important. This is an important issue. I must answer his question myself," said the City Governor, turning to look at his daughter with a serious expression that he had never used before when looking at her. And Bei-Li knew at once that her father was in trouble.
"First of all, shall we introduce ourselves first? I'm Tong-Zeng, Green Mist Forest City Governor. I have been here since I was born. But for a period of time, I entered the Heavenly Command Sect to study and practice martial arts. After that, I returned to assume the position of City Governor." The City Governor politely introduced himself to Zheng-Fu. He thought that this should be the first thing he had to do if he wanted the other party to reveal his story.
Ha ha ha!
"All right, City Governor! You probably already know my name. As for my whereabouts, I cannot tell you. Because you still haven't told me whether you accepted the consequences after knowing!" However, Zheng-Fu laughed instead of introducing himself. Because he had already said that he would not say anything until Tong-Zeng, Green Mist Forest City Governor, answered his question.
Hah!
"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!"
Everyone in the room was shocked by Zheng-Fu's words. No one thought that Zheng-Fu would be so stubborn. But when they saw Zheng-Fu's serious gaze, no one dared to complain.
Sigh!
Tong-Zeng even let out a long sigh. He could not put the lives of so many people at risk for his curiosity. Therefore, he sadly replied, "I don't know what exactly you want to convey. And I dare not take that risk. Because the lives of many people in this city depend on my decisions. If it were just me alone, I'd have chosen to know everything from you."
Anyway, the Black Bamboo Group already had a bad reputation. Having them wiped out was a very good thing for the city. So, it did not matter who did it. What should be done is to thank him rather than accuse him.
"You've made a good decision, City Governor!"
