Gu Feng looked at Shen Yanxiao with disdain. They had arrived at Blizzard City, so now he had nothing to be afraid of.
“What? Have you never seen such a domineering city before? Country bumpkin!”
Shen Yanxiao retracted her gaze and ignored Gu Feng’s ridicule. She said to Long Xueyao, “Nothing.” She could not possibly say that she had designs on their Thunder Artillery in front of the future city lord!
“Hmph.” Gu Feng snorted and walked into Blizzard City.
Long Xueyao sighed helplessly. She did not want to be in conflict with Gu Feng. After all, Gu Feng’s father was her father’s sworn friend. However, she was furious when Gu Feng continued to ridicule Shen Yanxiao repeatedly.
Fortunately, Shen Yanxiao did not seem to be bothered by it.
Shen Yanxiao’s magnanimity caused Long Xueyao to think that she had an exceptionally good character.
“Let’s go in,” Long Xueyao said to Shen Yanxiao with a smile.
Shen Yanxiao nodded and followed her into Blizzard City.
There were ten guards posing in front of the gates, six more than the guards at the Sun Never Sets. When they saw Gu Feng and Long Xueyao, they immediately went to welcome them.
“Young Lord, Young Master Gu, you’re back,” the ten guards said respectfully.
When she returned to her home, Long Xueyao’s tense nerves finally relaxed. She smiled and said, “I’m back. Where is my father? I have something to tell him.”
“Reporting to Young Lord, City Lord is currently in the mansion discussing some matters with Head Gu.”
Long Xueyao nodded.
“Uncle Fang, tell our brothers to rest first. Come with me to see my father.” The mercenaries under Fang Qiu did not belong to any of the five great mercenary groups. They were just another group of mercenaries in Blizzard City, but they had a good relationship with her father. That was why her father had troubled Fang Qiu to look for the Joy-Sucking Grass.
“Very well.” Fang Qiu nodded and immediately ordered his mercenaries to find a place to treat their injuries.
“Shen Jue, come with me.” Long Xueyao’s voice softened as she looked at Shen Yanxiao.
Unfortunately, Shen Yanxiao did not notice the subtle changes in the young lady. She merely nodded obediently as she wondered if there was a blueprint for the Thunder Artillery in Blizzard City.
Gu Feng was ignored, but his father was in the mansion. Even if Long Xueyao did not call for him, he would still go.
The four of them arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion. Compared to Shen Yanxiao’s mansion, Long Fei’s mansion was much grander.
Led by the guards, Shen Yanxiao and Long Xueyao entered the mansion.
In the main hall of the mansion, two middle-aged men sat on chairs as they discussed something. When they saw Long Xueyao and the others, one of the middle-aged men said, “Yaoyao? You’re back?”
“Father, I have been unfilial and failed to complete my task.” As soon as Long Xueyao entered the hall, she lifted her skirt without another word and knelt on one knee in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was stunned. His pale face revealed traces of surprise as he hastily went to help Long Xueyao up.
“What are you doing? Get up.”
Shen Yanxiao stood at the side and observed him quietly. The middle-aged man who spoke to Long Xueyao had a handsome appearance, and his facial features were similar to Long Xueyao. However, his handsome face had a trace of abnormal paleness and his lips were colorless. However, his eyes were full of vigor.
He must be Long Xueyao’s father, the owner of Blizzard City and the Blizzard Mercenary Group, Long Fei.
