Chapter 2289: Chapter 2289: Trust

"That’s right, that’s right. The City Lord’s wife is pregnant, and isn’t it with the Junior City Lord? The previous Junior City Lord has been missing for so many years; he’s long gone, right?"

"Since he’s no longer around, if the City Lord’s wife gives birth to another child, wouldn’t that be the new Junior City Lord?"

The group of people chattered away enthusiastically.

"What if the City Lord’s wife ends up giving birth to a girl?" Lin Baizhong’s single remark instantly silenced everyone.

"Uh."

The group collectively froze.

Yeah, if the City Lord’s wife gave birth to a baby girl, how could that be the Junior City Lord?

"That shouldn’t be the case, right?" Someone mused doubtfully.

"I heard the City Lord’s wife personally asked the City Lord’s sworn brother to check her pulse. Later, the rumor of the Junior City Lord spread around town. Doesn’t that mean the child in the City Lord’s wife’s belly is definitely the Junior City Lord?"

"Lu Tianfeng?"

Lin Baizhong exchanged a glance with Liu Yuyang.

The reason they had come this time was indeed for Lu Tianfeng. However, they could take the opportunity to deal with Lu Tiankuo as well.

That way, Sky City would be quiet from now on, with no more of these nonsensical troubles.

"But Lu Tianfeng isn’t a pharmacist. Since when could he determine whether a woman is carrying a boy or a girl?" He questioned.

"Uh... we don’t know about that." The group shook their heads collectively.

They had no idea either. It was just a rumor that had emerged from the City Lord’s Mansion not too long ago. No one even knew Lu Tianfeng had any medical knowledge.

"We don’t know who started the rumor, but for now, the City Lord’s wife’s child is being monitored by the City Lord’s sworn brother. He even listed numerous valuable herbs for the City Lord to find."

"Commander, you have no idea! Those herbs—just a single one of them—could be worth an entire city, not to mention dozens of them!"

"Tsk tsk, Commander, I just can’t imagine what kind of precious Junior City Lord is growing in the City Lord’s wife’s belly, needing so many rare herbs to ensure their birth."

"Exactly. And it’s not like the City Lord’s wife is that old. Having a baby—it’s just a baby. Even if she’s the City Lord’s wife, is there really a need to go to such lengths?"

"Now the entire Sky City is abuzz talking about this matter. But since the City Lord’s wife is pregnant with the Junior City Lord, no one dares to speak recklessly, fearing they might anger the City Lord and get expelled from Sky City."

The group continued conversing with Lin Baizhong one after the other.

"Really, there’s such a thing?"

Lin Baizhong found it strange and responded quietly.

Only now did he understand why the City Lord’s wife had summoned so many pharmacists to gather herbs in the Haikuo Forest.

It turned out it was because of a supplement list penned by Lu Tianfeng, wasn’t it?

He was one hundred percent certain that Lu Tianfeng asking for those items definitely had ulterior motives—either to exploit the City Lord or the City Lord’s wife. He must have had other uses for those things.

But what exactly was his intention? For the moment, Lin Baizhong couldn’t figure it out.

"Do any of you have that list of herbs?" He asked the group.

"No."

The group shook their heads.

They didn’t have the list, nor did they want it.

"That’s a list written by the City Lord’s sworn brother himself. How could we possibly have it?"

"Commander, if you’re looking for that list, you can ask the City Lord directly. He’ll surely give it to you." A guard suggested.

The City Lord trusted their Commander immensely. If the Commander wanted to see something, the City Lord would definitely let him. In fact, he might even ask the Commander to help gather those herbs.
