Chapter 2302: Chapter 2302: Can Only Obey

Since he is an alchemist as well, at worst, he can just change his identity and head off to play around in the Vast Sea Forest.

As for matters at home, even though An Shen and An Meng are keeping an eye on him, he’ll find a way to bluff his way past them. He’ll arrange for someone with a similar aura to his own to stand in for him at home and fool those two idiots—it’s something he can manage.

"Cough, cough. Brother, I don’t have anything else to do anyway. I’ll go check on Sister-in-law later and head back thereafter."

"Alright, go home and rest."

Lu Tianlan nodded slightly and then resumed handling his affairs.

He wasn’t someone without responsibilities; he was busy managing a mountain of tasks and still had to be wary of the person in front of him, lest they set up a trap for him to fall into at any moment.

Lu Tianfeng glanced at him one last time before turning and exiting the study.

Outside the study, An Shen and An Meng saw Lu Tianfeng come out and immediately approached him, following along as he departed.

"How did it go?"

Inside the study, An Die had already stepped in. Lu Tianlan looked at her with a cold expression and asked.

"Reporting to the City Lord, An Shen and An Meng have discovered that Lu Tianfeng’s alleged frailty and illness may be a fabrication," An Die replied to her lord.

"A fabrication?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Lu Tianlan’s face, but he quickly returned to his usual composure.

Although unexpected, it was within reason. However, this incident also served to confirm that Lu Tianfeng was indeed the sort of person Lin Baizhong had described.

"An Die, for this upcoming expedition into the Vast Sea Forest, I will assign you to Commander Lin’s side. Do you have any objections?" he asked An Die.

Upon hearing this, An Die raised her head briefly to look at the City Lord, then lowered it again.

"I have no objections, Lord."

"An Die, I am aware that you’ve always had feelings for Commander Lin, but he is a married man. Over these years, even if he appears to have forgotten everything, he still hasn’t remarried.

This clearly shows how important his family is to him.

I hope you can stay appropriately restrained and not act out of line. Otherwise, not only Commander Lin, but I as the City Lord will not spare you," Lu Tianlan admonished An Die.

Hearing the City Lord’s words, An Die lowered her head even further.

Ever since she learned that Lin Baizhong had returned, she had wanted to see what Lin Baizhong’s wife looked like.

She simply wanted to know in what way she was worse than another woman.

Now, the opportunity had finally presented itself, yet the City Lord immediately warned her in person not to harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward Lin Baizhong.

But back then, even Ding Rong clearly had inappropriate thoughts about Lin Baizhong, hadn’t she? And the City Lord had not interfered much. So why was it different for her?

"Understood, Lord. I shall comply."

As a mere guard, she could only voice her obedience and follow orders.

"As long as you understand."

Lu Tianlan nodded in approval.

In the past, if someone from the City Lord’s Mansion expressed interest in Lin Baizhong, he would have been happy to support it.

Because if Lin Baizhong were to marry someone from the City Lord’s Mansion, he would have no reason to leave Sky City again. Sky City needed talents like Lin Baizhong.

But now, Lin Baizhong already had a wife, and he brought her back with him.

Doesn’t that clearly indicate he will stay in Sky City for good moving forward? Given that this matter is now settled, he absolutely wouldn’t tolerate anyone ignorant attempting to disrupt things!

Moreover, in the past, Lin Baizhong was single—if women liked him or pursued him, that was acceptable.
