Dales's Different Attitude

At this moment, Ning Rongrong, along with the Soul Ancestor who were protecting her, had marked the locations of the buried Soul Crystal on the four main roads leading to the east, south, west, and north. She took one oval-shaped Soul Crystal that she found pleasing to the eye and then ordered her people to bury the others back.

"Miss, is there anything else you need?"

"Ha--"

Ning Rongrong simply stretched and pointed at the approaching Falling Star City patrolmen, yawning, "You guys deal with them."

"Yes!"

Dealing with the patrolling soldiers in the city is actually quite simple: release your Martial Soul / Martial Soul Possession, and also reveal your Soul Ring, and they will no longer dare to come over and ask questions.

The commotion in the city also reached the City Lord's Mansion.

When Dales heard the news from his subordinate, he was wondering what the previous city lords were up to when a servant came to report, "Your Excellency, the heir of the You Family in the city, Baron You Hui, has sent a visiting card and gifts."

"You Family?"

Dales frowned, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who this You Hui was. He could only guess from the name that she might be a woman.

"Please let her in!"

"Lord of the city, she is not alone. She is accompanied by Romantina, the daughter of the deputy city lord of Nuoding City."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Dales' eyes lit up. "Quickly! Prepare tea! Serve some snacks!"

A short while later, You Hui and Romantina arrived at the living room, led by a servant.

"Haha! Your presence here truly brings honor to my humble abode!"

Dales stepped forward to greet him, beaming, though this was only accompanied by his chubby face and the trembling, upturned mustache on his lips—

No matter how you look at it, it's disgusting.

You Hui was a little timid, but after Romantina gently patted her back, she reacted and immediately opened her mouth and said, "Lord Dada... Lord Lies, I... I am You Hui, the hereditary Baron. I came here today to visit you. I have something to ask of you!"

After saying this, Dales ' smile froze slightly.

[This girl looks pretty good, and her figure is comparable to Romantina's; they're just different in their own way. But why does she stutter?]

"Please take your seats."

But the smile froze for a moment before returning to normal, and she invited You Hui and Romantina to sit down.

"What is it?"

After the servants poured tea for the three of them, Dales looked at You Hui first and got straight to the point.

After all, something happened in the city—

Soul Crystal were found buried beneath the roads of Falling Star City! And it even involved disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ...

He must investigate as soon as possible, and incidentally, he must tell the city's guards and patrolmen not to make things difficult for him, otherwise his time as city lord will be over.

He finally found an opportunity to create chaos in Nuoding City for a while, and planned to stir up trouble in Nuoding City again under the pretext of "Soul Bone" after Hu Fangyuan finished his seclusion.

The purpose of partnering with Nuoding City to hold a "Friendly Tournament" every three years is also to keep Nuoding City in turmoil and even spread the chaos to other small towns.

Now, his Falling Star City is showing signs of turmoil due to the temporary presence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... Therefore, if it were only Romantina, whom he secretly covets, who came to visit, he would be willing to chat more. However, since You Hui speaks with a stutter, also came to visit, he didn't want to waste his breath.

You Hui realized she had been too nervous, so she took a deep breath and then blurted out everything she wanted to say in one breath, "It's like this, Lord City Lord, my parents died six years ago. You said at the time that they encountered the Fallen Ones... I came here this time hoping that you could tell me the specific details of what happened back then!"

Dales was startled—

So it wasn't a stutter!

However, he now finally recognized who You Hui really was...

Six years ago, not long after he took office here, a noble couple seemed to have noticed Hu Fangyuan hiding in the shadows and sensed something was amiss with him...

To eliminate any future trouble, he secretly had the two ambushed and handed them over to Hu Fangyuan as cultivation resources, thus preventing any future problems. And now, You Hui is their daughter.

"Why···"

Dales sighed, "I've been trying my best to investigate this matter over the years, but the city is very busy, and you know the situation with the Fallen Ones. Those people are always good at disguising themselves, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making them impossible to trace. Although the local Spirit Hall Branch also launched an investigation, they ultimately found nothing and even believed it was a revenge killing, not the work of the Fallen Ones... I hope you can take heart! Let bygones be bygones; one must always look forward..."

You Hui was already immune to this old cliché; she lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

Dales had already ignored You Hui and was now scanning Romantina up and down with his eyes. He smiled and said, "Miss Roman, what brings you here to visit me? Are you here to deliver a letter for your father?"

"No."

Facing Dales's undisguised and aggressive gaze, Romantina remained expressionless. She simply rose from her seat, crossed her arms, and bowed respectfully before stating the purpose of her visit. "I hope the city lord knows that You Hui and I are close friends. I am not here to pay a special visit, but rather to come with You Hui to inquire about some matters with the city lord."

Dales ' smile faded slightly, and he feigned anger, saying, "Miss Roman, what is it? Just say it! Falling Star City and Nuoding City have already agreed to a three-year Friendly Tournament, which could forge a lasting friendship in the future. Why be so reluctant?"

"If that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore."

Romantina said, "I came to Falling Star City this time to accept a mission from the Nuoding Guild to hunt down the accomplice of the Soul Master who once raided the Xiao Manor. The mission paper described him as a Soul Grandmaster, but in reality, he is a Soul Ancestor."

"A Soul Douluo- level powerhouse recently passed through Nuoding City. He was a kind person and told me that he sensed that the Soul Ancestor was heading towards Falling Star City..."

Dales ' eyes twitched slightly, and his lips trembled. "Miss Roman, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could that Soul Ancestor have escaped to my Falling Star City? Also, you just recently broke through to the Soul Master realm, and your Soul Power is only level eleven, right? How dare you pursue a Soul Ancestor?"

"I wouldn't dare to do it alone, but I've joined an adventurer's group. With their help, I'd dare to Douluo I even a Soul Ancestor, let alone Soul King," Romantina said with absolute confidence.

Dales' eyelids twitched.

Soul King?

That's really bold of you!

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he said aloud, "Miss Roman, you must be mistaken. The Soul Ancestor will never come to Falling Star City."

"However, the person who guided me is a Soul Douluo. He is currently in Nuoding City and will stay for three to five days. Why don't you come with me to Nuoding City to find him and ask him for an explanation?"

Romantina seemed to be getting anxious.

Dales was even more anxious!

After all, Hu Fangyuan made it clear that a powerful expert with extremely strong Spiritual Power had indeed arrived in Nuoding City!

How dare he confront a Soul Douluo?

Moreover, he still has Titled Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect staying in Falling Star City. If he leaves, and the people in the city are ignorant and offend them, he, as the city lord, will not be able to escape the blame!
