Chapter 12:
Inside the Lord’s Mansion.
Childe Guo lay back on the long chair, with a doctor next to him applying medicine to his swollen face, trying to reduce the swelling that had turned it into a pig’s head.
City Lord Guo Yan sat nearby, his face showing a stern expression as he looked at the injuries of his only son.
The old man in a gray robe who caught Qiao Mu earlier stood quietly aside.
"Father, why do you want to recruit that villain named Qiao Mu instead?" Childe Guo said in a slurred voice, his eyes swollen.
Guo Yan waved his hand, ordering the doctors and maidservants around to leave, leaving only the old man in the gray robe standing there before speaking:
"Why be hasty? If he joins the Yan City Army, there are countless ways to end his life."
Guo Yan closed his eyes, his tone calm and composed.
Only just now did he realize the extent of animosity his son had among the people of Yan City, to the point where a stranger with righteous words could ignite this fire.
