Chapter 701: City Lord

The City Lord had already received the news of their return.

So he had arranged for people to wait for them at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion from the beginning.

Subsequently, they immediately followed the City Lord's Mansion's reception personnel into the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Feng, Lilith, and Prus had never been to Bibabu City, so they were very unfamiliar with everything in Bibabu City.

And although the others in this small squad were very familiar with Bibabu City, they were clearly a bit constrained after entering the City Lord's Mansion.

But thinking about it, if an ordinary person went into a police station,

even if they hadn't committed any crime, they would still be nervous and have to maintain a proper attitude.

But among the few of them, Lin An's reaction was different from everyone else's.

With Qin Feng's observation skills, he could clearly see that Lin An was very, very familiar with the City Lord's Mansion.

Furthermore, she was very at ease in the City Lord's Mansion.

She had a feeling of being like a fish in water, as if she were returning home.

From this, Qin Feng guessed that Lin An shouldn't be an ordinary student of Bibabu Academy.

She must be someone who lived in the City Lord's Mansion or someone who often came here.

Her status, naturally, was either rich or noble.

Although the two small towns Qin Feng had been to before couldn't be considered very large—

in Kyushu, they would only be the size of an ordinary village—

Bibabu City was clearly not on the same level as those small towns.

Its area was definitely comparable to a first-tier big city.

And the area of the City Lord's Mansion was almost comparable to a village.

The gap between the two was just too large.

Just like the gap between cultivators and ordinary people in this world, it could be called a world of difference.

The person who led them to meet the City Lord naturally guided all of them.

Not a single person asked if they all had to go see the City Lord.

Ordinary people might not notice this, but Qin Feng clearly noticed it immediately.

So he guessed that

even if someone among them didn't want to meet the City Lord, it probably wouldn't be allowed.

Even if they really didn't want to see the City Lord, it didn't matter; they could just stay honestly in the City Lord's Mansion and wouldn't be allowed to go anywhere.

Clearly, for those of them who participated in this matter,

the City Lord didn't trust them to wander outside on their own and wanted to monitor them.

After the matter was completely resolved, he would then let them have free movement.

However, Qin Feng didn't care about this at all.

After all, his purpose was originally to accompany Lilith and Prus to meet the City Lord to complete his mission.

So Qin Feng was happy to see this happen.

As for after meeting the City Lord,

Qin Feng happened to need a period of time to use the mission reward he had just obtained to cultivate.

After all, keeping the White Crystals without using them to cultivate made Qin Feng feel itchy inside too.

And after the matter was resolved, they would naturally be able to obtain freedom.

Qin Feng wasn't in a hurry to carefully tour Bibabu City in the few days after just arriving.

Anyway, this city was right here and couldn't run away.

As for the mission of catching spies for the City Lord, Qin Feng felt it shouldn't be urgent.

At the very least, he would have to wait for the main force that went to Beluna Town to handle things to return and report the situation before he could probably obtain information about the so-called spies.

Only after that would Qin Feng consider how it would be appropriate to catch the spies.

Otherwise, now that he knew nothing, if Qin Feng ran to the City Lord and swore,

saying that there were spies from the other side in this Bibabu City and that he had come to help the City Lord catch the spies,

that would be too suspicious.

If he were the City Lord, he would also very likely lock Qin Feng up for interrogation.

Because they would definitely suspect that Qin Feng was actually a person from that faction.

At the very least, he was related to that faction.

As for him saving Lilith, they would probably estimate that he was also trying to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

If Qin Feng really did that, it wouldn't be surprising if the other party had such a guess.

The City Lord's age wasn't large.

The first time Qin Feng saw him, he only felt that he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

His age was no more than thirty or forty years old. He was in his prime. ===== CHAPTER 703 =====
