Chapter 33.1: Lips Sealed (1/2)
When Sang Yu let that question out, the entire chamber, even the entire Sang Manor went quiet enough to hear a pin drop.
All those underlings of his turned their heads in unison, dozens of eyes landing unblinkingly on Wu Xingxue. At a time like this, even his "City Lord" identity couldn’t suppress their prying curiosity.
The only one who hadn’t visibly dared peep at all was Fang Chu at Wu Xingxue’s side.
"City Lord?" Sang Yu changed his posture to call him again. He was on his own turf, and was somewhat more impudent than he was outside, "It appears City Lord—"
Before he could finish, Wu Xingxue interrupted: "And what else did they tell you?”
Sang Yu was taken aback and didn’t react.
Wu Xingxue repeated: "And what else did those two little scamps explain?"
This time, he no longer spoke in a lilting tone. His voice was light as a feather, yet landed firm.
At last, Fang Chu couldn’t help but turn to look at his city lord. His lips stirred a few times, as though already getting nervous.
