Chapter 2185: Things Are Not How They Used To Be
If others wore the same color as him, he would still be the attractive one. To his surprise, the stranger in purple robes replaced him as the center of attention. The purple robes that the man was wearing did not showcase any complex embroidery patterns. Instead, it was merely loose and comfortable clothing. However, the man was able to carry the style very well. The color of the fabric was as bright as the beautiful tones of the dusking sky. It matched the man very well as if he was born to wear it.
When Ye Ling stood before him, he felt as if an impersonation of the man. The feeling made him very uncomfortable. After all, he was the governor of the entire city. The man was totally incomparable to him. He had tried very hard to showcase his power as a governor. He thought that he had successfully outshone the man with his charm, but the current situation had proven otherwise.
Carefully, he observed Di Fuyi with squinted eyes. An overwhelming sense of insecurity started to haunt him. If he could control the man, there was always a way to put the man to great use. If not, he would try every way to get rid of him.
A sudden idea occurred to him. He leaned down from the edge of the ship and looked at the clan leader. "I heard that someone claimed to be the son of the previous governor. Could that be you?"
The clan leader’s face turned pale. Hesitantly, he answered, "It was."
Ye Ling gave him another smile and said, "After a century, I am sure that things are not how they used to be anymore, am I right? Especially the position of the governor. "
Hua Zhichun gave him another look of disappointment before agreeing to him, "Yes."
Ye Ling was satisfied. Sarcastically, he responded with a tone of delight, "Regardless of your identity, I will show you some respect for the sake of Miss Gu. I now grant you the gift of the Feng Xue temple in the southern part of the city."
