"Who dares to cause such a commotion at the City Lord's Manor in Zhongfu City!?"
That voice carried from afar, and Su Mo, intending to mount her horse, stood her ground upon hearing it.
Moments later, a few figures leapt forward to her presence.
Among them, someone immediately caught sight of Zhou Qingchuan, dead on the rooftop, and their face turned pale with shock.
Another, upon seeing Su Mo, had their pupils contract, hurriedly whispering into the ear of their leader.
Before the leader could speak, another piece of news was hurriedly relayed.
Successive changes caused the leader's expression to waver unpredictably.
After a moment of contemplation, just as he was about to speak, Su Mo preempted him:
"Are you Deputy City Lord Chi Lu of Zhongfu City?"
"...I am indeed."
Chi Lu did not dare to delay, quickly clasping his fists in greeting.
Today, he had received news that someone bearing the Phoenix Order had come to the City Lord Manor, demanding to see Zhou Qingchuan.
