Chapter 88 Mayor of Anning Town

"Zhaozhao, do you like it?"

Seeing that she had been staring at the clay figure for a long time, Qi Yan took out a spirit stone, intending to buy a small snake that the stall owner was sculpting.

“They’re quite cute,” Yun Zhao said, holding the little snake Qi Yan handed him. “Let’s buy two more. Fu Guang wants one too, and I bet Yin Xue will like it too.”

Within the Fu Guang sword, Fu Guang meowed repeatedly, directing Yun Zhao to have the stall owner sculpt a kitten for it.

“One is enough,” Qi Yan said seriously. “Blood Drinker is too childish; it doesn’t like that.”

Blood Drinker: "..."

Believe it or not, I'll bite you to death! You bad master!

Yun Zhao couldn't help but chuckle, "Yin Xue would never say something like that, you're the one who said it, right?"

Inside the spirit sword, Blood Drinker nodded hastily: Yes, yes, yes, it was just that unscrupulous master talking nonsense!

Qi Yan carried the three clay figures, and seeing that Bai Lingxiao was always two steps behind them, Yun Zhao took her hand and went to other stalls to buy other things.

"Senior Sister Bai, do you have anything you like? I'll buy it for you!"

Bai Lingxiao smiled and said, "You can buy whatever you like. I'll just take a look."

After saying that, she glanced at Qi Yan, whose face was full of unhappiness, and asked Yun Zhao, "Why aren't you with him anymore?"

Yun Zhao held up a hairpin and gestured on Bai Lingxiao's head, "We girls should go shopping together. He can just carry the bags."

"Senior sister, you're too tall, come down a bit."

Bai Lingxiao lowered her body accordingly, and Yun Zhao dressed her up like a dress-up doll, having a great time.

Finally, she thought all the jewelry was beautiful, and with a wave of her hand, she bought them all.

Qi Yan put the clay figure into his storage bag and resigned himself to paying the bill.

After strolling along the entire street until the vendors gradually returned home, Yun Zhao reluctantly went with the two to find an inn.

"By the way," Qi Yan suddenly said before going inside to rest, "what were we here for again?"

Yun Zhao paused.

"Um," she said awkwardly, "it seems we're looking for Senior Brother Gu and Senior Brother Meng..."

Bai Lingxiao paused for a moment, then said, "Well, they should be safe. Let's go find them tomorrow."

After she entered Anning Town, she sent them another message, and they replied instantly. They said they were guests at the mayor's house in Anning Town.

"Alright, it's getting late, it's not a good idea to go to someone's house now, let's go tomorrow."

After saying that, the three of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.

In the inn's lobby, a lean man finished eating the last peanut, got up, and left the inn.

At the Cao residence, Cao Xiangxuan had been waiting for a long time.

“Miss, those three people are indeed unfamiliar faces. They are not from villages near Anning Town. According to the brother who was following them, they were not in a hurry. After entering the town, they strolled around the street before going to the inn to rest.”

"Besides the three of them, there are more than ten other outsiders in Anning Town today, but none of them are a group of one man and two women."

Cao Xiangxuan frowned. Gu Dinghan and Meng Wenchang's communication talismans were in her hands. She had clearly received messages from their companions, so why didn't their companions come to find them?

The letter from the village chief only stated that there was one man and two women, without providing any specific portraits of the three individuals.

That's why she ordered her men to monitor all the outsiders who came to Anning Town today.

According to Gu Dinghan, his companions cared about them a lot and would definitely come to their rescue as soon as possible, but the three people didn't seem to care at all.

If you really care about them, why would you have time to go shopping?

Could it be that Gu Dinghan and Meng Wenchang's companions were not those three people?

As Cao Xiangxuan pondered, she became confused with her own thoughts.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the three of them and see if they come looking for someone tomorrow."

"Yes."

The next day, the person monitoring Yun Zhao and the other two sent a message back to Cao Xiangxuan, telling her that the three of them were leisurely eating breakfast and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Cao Xiangxuan almost had them withdrawn, but thankfully they finished their meal and started doing serious business.

There weren't many guests at the inn, so Yun Zhao called over a waiter and asked him where the town mayor's mansion was.

The waiter said enthusiastically, "If you leave the inn and walk straight east, you'll reach the town mayor's mansion."

"A plaque hangs above the gate, so guests can tell which family it is at a glance."

That was easy to find. After thanking the waiter, the three of them left.

Following the waiter's instructions, they walked east and indeed saw a very conspicuous plaque. Just as Yun Zhao was about to go forward and ask the guards outside the door to announce his arrival, an old man suddenly came out from inside.

"You gentlemen are here to see Young Master Gu and Young Master Meng, right? Please come in. The town mayor has heard from the two gentlemen that you would be coming in the next few days."

The old man was very attentive. Yun Zhao glanced at Qi Yan and Bai Lingxiao, and the three of them followed him inside.

On the way, Yun Zhao tried to get information out of him, "May I ask how you are called? My two elder brothers are staying at your residence, which is a great trouble to you."

The old man smiled and said, "I am the steward of this household. You can just call me Steward Cao, young lady. Your two elder brothers are outstanding individuals. My master said that it is an honor for our humble abode that they would grace us with their presence!"

Butler Cao politely led them to a courtyard, where Xiao Ju, who was waiting at the gate, guided them inside.

"Miss, sir, please come in. My young lady is waiting for you three inside."

Miss?

After a moment's thought, Yun Zhao realized that the mayor of Anning Town was a woman.

Cao Xiangxuan heard the commotion outside. She slowly straightened her clothes and stood up just as Yun Zhao and the other two entered.

She wanted to say something, but when she saw Qi Yan, she immediately fell silent.

How could he be here!

Seeing that Cao Xiangxuan was staring at Qi Yan, Yun Zhao frowned and silently stepped in front of Qi Yan.

Qi Yan also felt uncomfortable under Cao Xiangxuan's gaze. He took two steps back, thought for a moment, and then took another step forward, standing behind Yun Zhao.

He always felt there was something inexplicable in this person's eyes, as if they were about to clash at each other at any moment.

Seeing this, Xiaoju quickly took two steps forward and subtly tugged at Cao Xiangxuan.

Cao Xiangxuan snapped out of her daze and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this young master looks just like an old friend of mine, so I..."

"I apologize for my rudeness to the three of you."

Yun Zhao looked at her suspiciously, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing. You must be the mayor of Anning Town. We're here to see my two elder brothers."

"They said they were staying at your residence, but I don't know where they are now?"

Cao Xiangxuan asked Xiaoju to pour them tea. "Don't worry, young lady. I've already sent someone to invite Young Master Meng and Young Master Gu. They'll be here soon."

"By the way, after seeing your two brothers, will you leave immediately, or...?"

“Of course we should go home,” Yun Zhao said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. “To be honest, Mayor, our elders sent a letter asking us to go home as soon as possible.”

"I see," Cao Xiangxuan said thoughtfully, then her expression turned strange. "I'm afraid you can't leave."
