In Yuan Xi City's Central Great Hall, the figures of Lu Ye and the other two appeared.
Fu Wei looked around curiously and asked, "Senior Brother, is this your Uniting Dao City?"
"Yuan Xi City. I'll take you to meet the City Lord now. You can only stay if she agrees." Lu Ye strode forward. Though Yuan Xi would most likely not refuse, it was only proper to inform her.
