Chapter 2028: Chapter 2028: Send Ding Rong to Dragon Heart Valley

"Go now and handle it. Buy the several residences next to Commander Lin’s home and register them in Commander Lin’s name."

After some thought, he lifted his head and instructed the guard.

He figured that Lin Nian must be going back to bring his family to live in Sky City.

If there were many of them, could they all fit in Lin Nian’s small house? He better consider this for him and buy him a few more houses.

"Yes, City Lord," replied the guard, who then left.

"Lin Nian, oh Lin Nian, look how well this City Lord treats you. I’ve arranged your home for you; you better return soon!" It was only after the guard had left that the City Lord muttered to the air.

"Return soon for what?"

Suddenly, a voice tinged with amusement reached his ears, and he looked up to see his wife walking in.

"Lady, what brings you here?"

He stood up and asked.

"I heard that Lin Nian had left and came to see how you were," the Lady of the City Lord’s Mansion said.

"Ah," he sighed deeply.

"That man really doesn’t show any sentiment. He just up and left."

"If he wanted to leave, could you have kept him? I’ve heard that Lin Nian left on a rather impressive flying demon, which just goes to show that his daughter is no simple character either. She’ll come back sooner or later."

The Lady of the City Lord’s Mansion spoke.

"That’s true."

The City Lord nodded, agreeing with his wife’s sensible words.

What could one accomplish in the wastelands? In the end, one still had to come to the Illusion Continent. He had worried for nothing.

"It’s good if Lin Nian returns, but my lady, there’s the matter of your niece..."

Upon mentioning Ding Rong, the Lady of the City Lord’s Mansion’s expression soured, and she sighed heavily.

"Rong’er has been spoiled by her parents. She dares to do anything. I had intended to keep her by my side and discipline her to temper her temper, but who knew she would become even more unruly.

Now, I’ve come to discuss with you, City Lord, as Dragon Heart Valley is about to open. Perhaps we should let Rong’er go there for some experiences?"

"You want Ding Rong to go to Dragon Heart Valley?" The City Lord was somewhat surprised to hear his wife’s suggestion.

Dragon Heart Valley might have a nice name, but it’s not exactly a pleasant place. It was an area that Sky City had designated for those who had made small mistakes or the unruly children of noble families to undergo training.

To put it bluntly, it is essentially a big prison, only it sounds nicer to say they’re going for training.

"Are you willing to part with her?"

"What’s the alternative? If she keeps causing trouble like this, the City Lord’s Mansion will be in constant turmoil," the Lady of the City Lord’s Mansion said.

She had to be willing to let go, whether she liked it or not. After all, it wasn’t her daughter. Her sister had spoiled her daughter to this state and now sent her to her care, expecting her to discipline the child.

And since it was about discipline, she had to be strict.

She had been lenient before, seeing that she was, after all, the daughter of her sister. But now, she realized that the more leeway she gave Ding Rong, the more trouble she caused.

"Let her go. It’s time she learned to rein in her temperament, lest she become unmarriageable!" she said.

"Alright, if you’re prepared to let her go, then I will arrange it and add another name to the list," the City Lord said.

"Thank you, City Lord."

The Lady of the City Lord’s Mansion expressed her gratitude, and then they both resumed their work, one managing affairs and the other beginning to grind ink.
