Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“Hehe, no they won’t.” Patriarch Hong said with a smile: “Judging from the news I received earlier, the people inside the City Lord Manor have already submitted to the Ghost Doctor. I think that the other n.o.ble families should have received the news by now. After all, those people who had been captured by the City Lord have already been released.”

In the Hong Manor, Patriarch Hong and his wife were talking about this matter in the study. And as for the other families, as Patriarch Hong had guessed, had also heard the rumours.

“Has something happened in the City Lord Manor? Why were those people captured by the City Lord released this evening?” An Elder asked.

A middle-aged man said: “I have already sent someone to inquire, he should be back soon.”

Just as he was speaking, he saw a man hurrying back quickly: “Patriarch, I have heard some news.”

!!

“Speak.” The middle-aged man gestured.

“This morning, a red-clothed woman riding a white horse was brought into the City Lord’s Manor. It is said that the City Lord is now unconscious, and the City Lord’s wife is now unable to speak because she had offended the red-clothed woman. Several ministers who were at the City Lord Manor had their cultivation bases abolished. Now, the Elders and some of the other ministers in the City Lord Manor have submitted to the woman.”

The few people in the hall couldn’t help but be surprised: “Submitted? To a woman?”

“Yes.” The man nodded and said: “It is said that they are going to re-elect a person to be the City Lord. It seems that it was because the red-clothed woman had spoken, that’s why those people were released this evening, and they left with their wages.”

Upon hearing this, the hearts of several people in the hall wavered slightly: “Re-elect a person to the City Lord? Once the City Lord has been brought down, there are only a few people in the City Lord Manor who would have the strength to be City Lord. But those Elders are old, I think…”

The man who was reporting the matter had a strange expression on his face, and he said: “Patriarch, I have received news, it seems that the new City Lord is not being chosen from within the City Lord Manor. I heard that the red robed woman went to the Hong Family today.”

Upon hearing this, shock appeared on everyone’s faces:” Hong Family? Could it be that she wants to support Patriarch Hong to the top? Now that Senior Patriarch Hong has fallen ill, the strength of the Hong Family is not the strongest amongst the n.o.ble families. How can he become the City Lord of this city?”

“If it is supported by the Elders in the City Lord Manor, it is not impossible. But what is the background of the red-clothed woman? She must have such a great ability to make the people in the City Lord Manor submit to her.” The Elder beside him pondered, a little surprised.

“I was unable to find out any more information about this. At present, the only people who have had any contact with the red-clothed woman are the people in the City Lord Manor and the Hong Family.”

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall looked at each other, and the solemn Elder said: “Patriarch, we should visit the Hong Family in the morning, and try to inquire about this matter at the same time.”

“Fine.” The middle-aged man said.

Several other n.o.ble families were also discussing this matter. One of the Patriarchs had proposed a visit to the City Lord Manor early the next morning to check out the situation but was stopped by an Elder.

“It’s most likely that you won’t even be able to enter the main entrance of the City Lord Manor if you pay a visit now. Now that the situation in the City Lord Manor is unstable, they probably won’t accept visitors. It’s better to visit the Hong Family instead.” The Elder said in a calm voice. After he weighed over the options, he felt that it was better to go to the Hong Family to inquire about the situation first.

That night, many people were unable to fall asleep.
