Chapter 2310: Chapter 2310: Bribing My Dad?

Someone spoke with doubt to the person next to them.

"Commander Lin? He’s not some newcomer. He’s the City Lord’s savior, and he’s incredibly skilled!" someone said.

"Skilled? What skill are you talking about? He probably just got lucky, saved the City Lord by chance, and now he’s throwing his weight around here in Sky City. For all we know, he could be useless—just muddy clay that can’t stick to the wall."

Someone let out a slight scoff, thinking Commander Lin wasn’t that impressive.

The City Lord’s savior, huh? Even if he doesn’t have the slightest skill, the City Lord would still make sure he’s well-fed, worry-free, and living comfortably in Sky City. After all, it’s just luck saving him, isn’t it?

But how exactly did he even save the City Lord? That’s not certain yet.

Maybe he was chopping wood in the mountains or fishing in the water when he stumbled upon the injured and unconscious City Lord, lent a hand, and that’s it.

That’s enough to become the City Lord’s savior?

"You’d better stop talking nonsense. If Commander Lin hears this, none of you will even get a chance to step into the Hai Kuo Forest!"

"Why? We’re in Sky City—does that mean we’re not even allowed to talk anymore? Where’s the logic in that?" The people speaking nonsense scoffed aloud.

So what if they said those things?

A guy who’s only in Sky City because of the City Lord’s connections—what’s he even worth?

"You don’t know crap!"

The one who had been saying good things about Lin Baizhong cursed loudly upon hearing their comments.

"I heard that the City Lord has already given the orders: this time, the expedition into Hai Kuo Forest won’t be led by Young Master Tianfeng, but by Commander Lin himself. Tell me, if you offend Commander Lin, do you really think he’d let you step foot into Hai Kuo Forest?"

That person threw the question back at them.

"Hiss!"

The group of people collectively inhaled sharply upon hearing this.

"For the City Lord to trust him enough to lead an expedition into Hai Kuo Forest, he must have some skills."

"Commander Lin wouldn’t receive such favor from the City Lord if he weren’t capable. After all, this is Sky City—without some real ability, even with the City Lord’s support, it’d be impossible to maintain a foothold here forever."

"Seems like we’ve underestimated Commander Lin."

"The saying ’don’t judge a book by its cover’ or ’the sea cannot be measured by a ladle’ definitely applies here. If there’s a chance, I’d like to see this Commander Lin for myself."

The group’s words took a turn as they began praising Lin Baizhong one after another.

Not far away, Lin Caisang, under Sui Zimo’s protection: "..."

This obvious about-face, completely switching to praising someone they were slandering just moments ago—really?

"Zimo, I bet those people don’t actually want to meet my father—they’re probably thinking about how to bribe him instead," she muttered softly into Sui Zimo’s ear.

"Little girl."

Sui Zimo raised his hand and tapped her nose lightly.

"Don’t make a habit of speaking the truth—it offends people," he said.

"Oh, please!"

Lin Caisang rolled her eyes at him.

"What little girl? I’m already someone’s mother, you know."

As she spoke, she reached out and patted her own belly.

As for the idea that truth offends people—as long as they’re in Sky City and working as alchemists and apothecaries, offending people is practically inevitable.

"Are you both here to register?"

While the two were chatting, someone walked up to them and asked.

Sui Zimo turned his head and looked at the newcomer.
