Chapter 1323 Tracing the Birth Point
Chapter 1323 Tracing the Birth Point
Xing Moli looked at Su Bai with even more contempt.
"But this is also an opportunity, just in time for Luo Luo to see this guy's true face." Thinking of this, Xing Moli quietly ran to Bai Luo to sow discord.
However, at this moment, lights bloomed and gathered from all directions at the pearl curtain between the vermilion pillars in the front.
Behind the pearl curtain, a slender and hazy figure slowly took a seat.
The Lord of Fenghuang City has arrived.
Everyone stopped talking unconsciously and saluted behind the pearl curtain in front of them.
A beautiful court lady appeared in front of the pearl curtain and said in a soft and pleasant voice, "The Lord City Lord is ill today, so he has ordered me to prepare a banquet for him."
After that, another maid came forward with a gilded tray, on which was an amber wine glass engraved with a Poké Ball.
When the female official raised her glass, everyone below raised their glasses in response.
However, some people were puzzled. Those who knew Sumire Kami Ren's personality well could not help but secretly wonder in their hearts, "When did the city lord change her personality? Didn't she always like to do things herself in such occasions in the past?"
But I didn't think much about it. It's not a big deal if the city lord is in seclusion occasionally.
After the banquet was over, everyone began to socialize normally and enjoy the dinner.
Su Bai noticed that there was something strange about the way Bai Luo looked at him since he came in here, so he was just about to sit down and find a place to chat with Bai Luo. Unfortunately, before he even touched the chair, a maid quietly appeared behind him.
"Mr. Su Bai, since you are the number one contributor to the expulsion of the Dust Mountain King, the city lord would like to specially invite you to the cabinet for a chat."
Liu Rumei had reminded him before, so Su Bai was mentally prepared. So he said hello to everyone and left with the maid.
……
In the cabinet of the City Lord's Mansion, moonlight shines through the carved glazed windows, and a cold fragrance lingers in it. The City Lord Jin Shanglian lies on a mandarin duck couch, her fingertips unconsciously stroking a emerald green gem.
It was something left behind by a long-lost relative of hers.
"It's the wave power again, and the pearl is responding...
"Su Bai, where do you come from?"
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door, and after Sumire Umeko responded, the personal guard Asha entered the room and knelt on one knee: "Lord Sumire, as you ordered, I have sent someone to call Su Bai."
"Asha, you're here. It's just right. I need your help with something."
The female guard Asha remained on one knee and said respectfully, "Master Jin, please give me your orders."
The female official was beautiful. If Su Bai looked closer, he would be able to recognize her at a glance. This person was none other than Alyssa, the future champion of the Northern Alliance. Somehow in this era, she had become Sumire Kami Ren's female official.
"It's actually like this..."
Sumire no Kami trusts Asha very much. Although she is a female official, Asha is actually her playmate who grew up with her. The relationship between the two is almost like that of family members.
"what?!"
But even with such a relationship, after hearing Sumire no Uehara's guess, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "City Lord, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Sumire no Kami played with the ends of her hair: "I have no evidence for this kind of thing, how can I say such nonsense?"
"The Eye in the Sky is indeed glowing, and his wave power is unrecognizable to ordinary civilians. You who are familiar with me, it is impossible that you can't recognize it, right?"
"But, but even so, I still... I still can't believe that the guy with unknown origins could be your brother or something..."
Sumire no Uehara looked at the emerald green gem on her fingertips, her eyes seemed to go back to the past: "Back then, my parents took me and my infant brother to the Origin Sea to explore the new world, and we encountered the terrifying Origin and End weather...
At that time, the scorching sun above the equator scorched the sea surface and produced layers of white smoke, but the sea was roaring wildly, and huge waves came one after another. Even the most advanced ships and the best sailors at the time could not withstand such a harsh environment. Soon, the hulls made sounds of being overwhelmed, and living things in the cabins flew everywhere...
My brother disappeared under those circumstances...and we couldn't find him no matter how hard we looked for him."
"So you, City Lord, have experienced this kind of disaster before, but what does this have to do with Su Bai?"
Sumire no Uehara paused for a moment, and said playfully, "Do you know...where was Su Bai when he first appeared on this continent?"
Asha was curious: "Where?"
"Origin Beach."
It is the beach east of the village of celebration, where the girl of the village of celebration, Bai Luo, picked up. "
Sumire no Kamiya sighed and said, "If once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, then what about the third time?
So I'm going to give him a try anyway."
Looking at the female guard who was still in a trance, Sumire Kami revealed a sly look on her face: "Asha, I hope you can do me a favor and pretend to be me."
Asha was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
……
Under the guidance of the female official, Su Bai came to the city lord's palace.
The layout of this inner palace was somewhat like a study, with a desk and a soft couch. The city lord was lying on the cushion at this moment, with one slender hand supporting his forehead.
However, only a vague figure could be seen, because just like in the front hall, the city lord was still staying in a curtained tent.
Su Bai had a strange expression on his face, thinking that the city lord was ugly and couldn't see anyone? Why was he hiding everywhere?
In addition to this strange city lord, Su Bai also found an acquaintance.
Looking at the silver-haired woman beside him, Su Bai asked in surprise: "You are... the female official I met in the underground sewer?"
The silver-haired woman in front of him looked very ordinary, the kind that you wouldn't be able to recognize if thrown into a crowd, but Su Bai still recognized her at a glance, not only because of the woman's rare silver hair, but also because of her hair.
Last time, the two of them had their waves fused and resonated with each other. Now, not to mention that the silver-haired woman still maintains her human appearance, even if she turned into a dog, Su Bai could recognize her.
The silver-haired woman smiled sweetly and waved at Su Bai as a greeting. She then pointed behind the curtain, reminding him not to put the cart before the horse, as he was meeting the city lord now.
Su Bai understood, stepped forward and bowed slightly: "I am Su Bai, meeting the city lord."
The city lord behind the curtain said in a calm tone: "You haven't even seen me, how can you say you have seen me?"
Su Bai: "..."
Is this city lord a nitpicker?
However, Su Bai had been working in the society for so many years that he was not at all flustered. After a moment, he responded, "I heard from others that Fenghuang City has a peerless treasure. Whenever it appears, it attracts thousands of eyes to chase after it. Wherever it goes, it shines with brilliance, and its eyebrows and eyes are full of light. Every move is full of charm. It is a miracle that has been accumulated over the years and condensed with elegance..."
"There are treasures like this in Fenghuang City? How come I have never heard of it?"
The person asking the question was not the city lord, but the silver-haired female official standing beside him.
