Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027: Will You Come Back?

People from the barren lands having such formidable flying demons as mounts?

Dream on!

Even us, the imperial guards of Sky City, don’t enjoy such treatment. Every time there’s something to do, we either run on our two legs or use the flying demons from the City Lord’s Mansion.

But now, Commander Lin’s family can ride on such impressive flying mounts?

Impossible, right?

"Could it be a mistake, those people might not be from Commander Lin’s family at all?" someone questioned.

"Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know if we check it out."

The crowd, with each person chiming in, started walking towards the direction of Commander Lin’s home.

If Commander Lin’s daughter really is that incredible, they’ll have to cozy up to her first, to bask in some of her glory, right?

...

"Gone?"

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, upon hearing the hurried report from a guard that Lin Nian had left with his daughter, the City Lord stood up from his chair.

"Ah, he has left after all. I knew that no matter what, I couldn’t make him stay," he sighed lightly, now that the deed was done, there was nothing else to say.

Back when Lin Nian had saved him and his wife, he could tell Lin Nian was no ordinary person, with exceptionally strong physique.

Therefore, he had given Lin Nian the opportunity to cultivate spiritual power, despite going against the ancestral teachings.

And then, watching him grow stronger day by day, he naturally felt happy for Lin Nian. However, to his surprise, Lin Nian had decided to return to the barren lands.

"City Lord, I have heard that Miss Ding Rong went to make trouble outside Commander Lin’s residence again today. She even claimed she would tie up Commander Lin, turning uncooked rice into cooked rice, and almost injured Commander Lin’s daughter.

Could it be because of this that Commander Lin didn’t even give his daughter time to rest before leaving immediately?"

The person speaking was the steward who always attended to the City Lord.

Being able to serve the City Lord, the steward was certainly a respectable person, but as a servant, he had his own difficulties. He had been scolded and humiliated by Ding Rong several times in the mansion, yet he could not retaliate.

After all, he was a servant, while Ding Rong was a relative of the City Lord’s wife, qualifying as a half-master of the household.

But this time, with Commander Lin leaving, he felt it was connected to Ding Rong and couldn’t help but say more than he usually would.

"This Ding Rong!"

The City Lord’s expression darkened instantly when he heard this.

He had warned Ding Rong several times already not to provoke Lin Nian, his life-saving benefactor who had also saved Ding Rong’s grandaunt.

But Ding Rong, spoiled rotten by her family, feared neither heaven nor earth.

"Go to my wife and let her know it’s my decision. Tell Ding Rong to stay at her own home for a while, not to step out as if she represents the City Lord’s Mansion... No, let the Ding Family find a compatible family for their daughter to marry, not to involve the City Lord’s Mansion in their affairs!"

After considering it, he decided not to support Ding Rong any longer and instructed the steward accordingly.

"Yes, City Lord."

The steward complied and went out.

"Did Commander Lin leave any message?" The City Lord looked towards the guard and asked.

"Returning to the City Lord, Commander Lin left a message for the household, saying he would be back soon. At least half a year, at most one or two, and he will return," the guard reported truthfully.

"He will come back?"

The City Lord’s eyes brightened, and he breathed a nearly imperceptible sigh of relief.

It was good that Lin would return; he would still have someone to converse with in the future. Yes, that was very good indeed.
