Just as Yue Jinrong finished speaking, a City Lord Manor’s steward suddenly ran to his side panting and shouted anxiously.
“City Lord, bad… bad news… Young City Lord…”
This manager’s voice was not soft. In his panic, he rushed to Yue Jinrong’s side and his words spread through the crowd through the voice transmission stone in Yue Jinrong’s hand.
Upon hearing that something might have happened to Zi Shuilan, the residents of the City of Beastmen stood up anxiously.
“What’s wrong with the Young City Lord? Explain yourself!”
Without waiting for the residents of the City of Beastmen to speak, Yue Jinrong grabbed the manager’s collar and sounded so nervous that his voice changed.
If someone who did not know the truth saw this, they would definitely misunderstand that this father was very worried about his son.
The manager said with a sobbing tone, “City Lord Yue, you must calm down! Last night, the Young City Lord was cruelly killed by the thieves!”
“What! Say that again!”
Upon hearing the news of Zi Shuilan’s death, Yue Jinrong took two steps back in shock. He staggered and almost lost his balance.
The manager quickly supported him. “City Lord, my condolences…”
Jun Mohuang raised an eyebrow. Zi Shuilan was dead?
That was impossible. He even came to look for her last night and removed the Beast Taming Technique from her magical beast.
In order to prevent Yue Jinrong from playing the same trick, Zi Shuilan even added a layer of protection to her demon.
He was still fine last night. How could he have died!
Upon hearing this, the aristocrats of the three countries began to gossip.
“Don’t talk nonsense. How could the Young City Lord be killed!”
“What’s going on? Explain!”
In the audience, the residents of the City of Beastmen immediately exploded. All of them stood up and shouted at Yue Jinrong and the manager.
“Impossible, this is impossible. The City Lord Residence is heavily guarded. How could someone break into the City Lord Residence and kill my son!”
Yue Jinrong, who was extremely anxious and nervous, did not have the time to care about these people. He grabbed the manager’s collar tightly again.
“City Lord, it’s like this. The Young City Lord has been frail and sickly since young. Everyone knows that. Hence, the Young City Lord must go to the secret room of the City Lord’s Mansion every once in a while to nourish his body with the Purple Cloud Soul Essence. Last night…”
The person picked up the voice transmission stone and explained what had happened.
Last night, Zi Shuilan went to the secret room as usual to nourish his body with the Purple Cloud Soul Essence. No one was allowed to disturb him during this time.
Hence, the Yue Family’s elites waited outside the secret room for it to end.
In the end, Zi Shuilan still did not come out at dawn.
The in-charge did not dare to interrupt rashly. Seeing that the City of Beastmen’s Meet was about to end, he braced himself and entered to invited him to the venue.
After entering the secret room, he realized that Zi Shuilan had been pierced in the heart by someone and had been dead for a long time. The Purple Cloud Soul Essence in the secret room had also disappeared.
The Yue Family’s elites protecting Zi Shuilan outside the secret room were all killed without exception.
After hearing the in-charge’s explanation, the commotion on the audience platform increased.
“City Lord, I’ve brought the Young City Lord’s body as well. My condolences to you, City Lord. Please avenge the Young City Lord and find the murderer as soon as possible!”
Finally, the in-charge waved his hand in a certain direction. A few Yue Family’s elites walked forward with a stretcher covered in white cloth.
Yue Jinrong reached out with trembling hands to remove the white cloth.
But perhaps he couldn’t accept this blow, he didn’t manage to grab the white cloth for a while.
In the end, Yue Jinrong steeled his heart and the white cloth was removed, revealing a beautiful and exquisite face. Her black hair was like a waterfall mixed with strands of purple hair.
