After the Lord of the City heard his son's escape experience, he breathed a long sigh of relief, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"Are you saying that the two immortal masters who protected you were all killed in the battle, and the last remaining few on the ship all escaped?" He knocked on his armrest, meditating while still speaking in an orderly manner, word by word. It's as if he doesn't want to miss any detail.
"Yes", the Young City Lord lowered his head in shame.
He thought of the beauty who had passed out in his arms several times and his own gaffe. Normally, he felt that he was already a flying eagle with spread wings, but he never expected that when the real thing came, he was still just a person who still needed to hide tightly under his father's wings. The trembling chick below.
Knowing a son is better than a father, the Lord of the City quickly noticed his son's embarrassment and was not in a hurry to help his son. His shoulders were shaking slightly, his forehead was sweating slightly, and his nose could clearly see the rapid twitching caused by rapid breathing. Get out of it.
He waited for a while, until the hidden weird atmosphere between father and son reached its peak, and then he showed his usual kind, natural and friendly smile.
"It doesn't need to be like this." His gentle words were like a valve that let out a sigh of relief, instantly relaxing the boy in front of him who was wearing luxurious clothes that were in no way commensurate with his age.
"No one will not experience danger, and no one will not make mistakes. What matters is how to deal with and remedy the situation afterwards." The Lord City Lord felt like a teacher, instigating his students.
You must know that young people always have a rebellious mentality, especially towards their parents. They often have such natural psychological advantages, and now is the best time to rebuild this father-son relationship.
"What do you think we should do?" The Lord's face was as kind as ever, but his shiny face betrayed his sophisticated demeanor.
He probably only behaves like this when in front of his son.
"I wonder if those who escaped were..." The city lord saw a trace of anger on his son's face. He raised a hand knife and slashed it viciously.
"Do you think that just after something like this happened, they died one after another, and one of them was worshiped by Huamanlou. You must know that Huamanlou is not less powerful than us. Do they believe that this series of deaths are all accidents? "Seizing the opportunity, the city lord's momentum began to rise, and a series of problems came over him.
In front of his father, Mr. Zhang felt that everything he did was wrong and seemed to fail his father's wishes.
This is also the reason why I feel painful. It seems that everything I think about is like a fortress built in the sand in front of my father. With a slight blow, it will collapse. I can only feel it when I escape into that gentle countryside. A touch of dignity and comfort.
He took a deep breath, as if a fish that hadn't breathed for a long time finally took a breath. His voice became softer and he murmured: "Why don't we wait a moment?"
"No!" The Lord's aura became arrogant at this moment, like a lion waking up from sleep.
He was very satisfied with his momentum. The leader was neither blindly tyrannical nor blindly weak. He showed decisiveness when decisiveness should be shown and gentleness when tenderness should be shown.
It is actually extremely difficult to grasp the sense of proportion in this. Only people like him who have been in high positions for a long time can be single-minded.
He waved his hand and said with a voice that sounded like lava about to erupt: "It's because only now will they know that it was us who did it, so we must do it now."
"Only in this way can we severely shock those people and make those people fear us, be afraid of us, and be afraid of us! Only in this way, next time, if you are in danger again, if your family experiences turmoil again, they will not act like you It’s the same this time, just turn around and run away.”
Slowing down, seeing that his momentum was having an effect, and seeing his son's eyes returning from confusion to clarity, he breathed out secretly.
For the sake of his son, it can be said that he put all his thought into it.
Like now, how to be a leader cannot be learned by saying a few words or reading a few books.
Just like the instinct of hunting, only the little lion is beside the old lion, following it to kill one beast after another, drinking the meat and blood of the prey one after another, overcoming one difficulty after another, and finally Only then can these skills become instinct in the body.
The same goes for managing a city, family or even a country.
These things cannot be learned by reading books or listening to classes. Only by experiencing one thing after another in the mountains of swords and blood, in conspiracies, and in intrigues can you finally form your own instincts.
"I heard that a passing cultivator saved you?" After feeling that the weight of his teaching today was enough, the Lord City Lord regained his momentum and softened his tone.
"Yes, the kid originally thought he would be found back, but I didn't expect there is no news yet."
"Haier also arranged for people to search for him as soon as possible. Apart from seeing many traces of the battle, he didn't see any corpses."
"My child was wondering if that person had been poisoned by a demon."
"Well" the city lord nodded,
"Don't underestimate the survivability of these casual cultivators. Since he is willing to rescue you and lure the monsters away afterwards, I think he must have some skills..."
"My child, there is something else that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"What's up?"
"I heard from Miss Mu that this demon was chasing them from Linhai City."
"And the time when this demon attacked us happened to be at this time. In addition, the ability of the casual cultivator I once described is very close to the ability of the person Miss Mu knows."
"I was wondering if the demon was not coming for me, but the man led the demon to the boat."
The Lord City Lord opened his eyes, as if a flash of lightning flashed through his eyes.
"Then how are you going to deal with this?"
"My child is wondering if we should investigate again..."
"Don't alert the snake." The city lord raised his hand to stop what he was saying.
"Right now, there is a shortage of manpower in the city. Most of them have been transferred to Ashan to slay demons. The rest have to protect the safety of the city."
"It's okay if that casual cultivator never shows up again. After all, even if he was the one who led the demon onto the boat, he still saved you in the end."
"As long as you are sure that he is not malicious towards you, it doesn't matter if you take a little more time to tell the difference."
When the city lord said this, he cast a reproachful look at the right time, consciously raised his authority again, and stared at his son, lowering his head in shame.
He said cowardly: "My child was also anxious at the time, so he made a stronger promise..."
"It's not important. My son's life was bought with five thousand spiritual stones and an official position." The city lord's eyes shone with light.
Then he continued with a slight smile: "If he reappears, just give him the generous promise you promised. We want the world to know that those who offend us will not have a good ending. Those who help us , we will not be stingy with rewards.”
"As for whether he is really the one who lured the demon onto the ship, you can investigate slowly after this incident is over."
"If he was the one who led the demon onto the boat, then..." Then he made a motion of wiping his neck.
"Anyway, remember, don't alert the snake. As long as he is in our hands, we are not afraid that he will fly away." After saying that, the Lord City Lord made a pinching hand gesture.
It was as if a small insect flew into the palm of his hand and was crushed to death by him.
