Zhou Fan instantly darted before the City Lord, while the City Lord turned his body when he heard someone call it.
The City Lord frowned, he looked at the black-robed figure before him.
"Isn't everything clear, why are you back here?" The City Lord said in a fierce tone, a streak of anger clearly visible from his face.
"I think you've misunderstood, City Lord." Zhou Fan shook his right hand in front of the City Lord.
The City Lord narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
In the City Lord's view, Zhou Fan was one of the group that had just threatened him. But hearing the refutation of the figure before him, he did not know who else had come to see him.
Zhou Fan opened his head covering, The City Lord looked surprised, as the face of the young man before him was already very clearly engraved in his memory.
"You..." The City Lord's words as if he could not get out, he was too unexpected that the figure before him was the young man who had once stirred up White Chalk City.
"Yes... It's me, Zhou Fan." Zhou Fan spread his hands while nodding, as if showing the City Lord that he was really in front of him.
"Owh... Did you hear anything?" The City Lord was trying to be ordinary, he hoped that no one would know of his problems with the group.
"Very clear." Zhou Fan replied briefly densely and also clearly.
His answer made the City Lord instantly put on a standby stance, he put up a horse preparing to attack Zhou Fan.
"Believe it or not, you already don't have the ability to silence myself." Zhou Fan said casually, but truly his words pierced into the City Lord's heart.
"Do you underestimate me?" The City Lord raised his voice.
There was no way a young man could compare to him, let alone defeat him, that was the most unreasonable thought in his mind.
"I'm not underestimating you, City Lord. But you can try if you don't believe." Zhou Fan tried to address the City Lord casually, as he needed information from the leader of the White Chalk City.
The City Lord narrowed his eyes, he still could not believe Zhou Fan's words.
"From having this vague conversation, I'm more interested in the cloaked woman who just left." Zhou Fan shifted the topic, his curiosity was so passionate towards the robed woman.
"You don't be like him, or you'll regret it in the end. The power behind him is not just an ordinary kronco" said the City Lord in an admonishing tone.
"Who's behind him?" Zhou Fan asked with clenched hands, his body as if electrocuted while talking about the matter.
"Actually what is your purpose, I say once again, do not look for trouble with him!" expressly Mr. City.
"Never, they've been looking for trouble with me, I'll never let them go, before retaliating." Zhou Fan's eyes emitted anger, hatred as well as resentment.
"What's really going on? His gaze exuded a killing intent." The City Lord was curious.
"I appreciate your intention to warn me, but I must avenge the blood of those who may not even know why they were killed." Zhou Fan changed his countenance very quickly, he said with a flat face.
"We'd better go in," the City Lord asked Zhou Fan, he felt it would be very dangerous if there was someone eavesdropping.
Without saying much, Zhou Fan went inside, following the City Lord from behind.
The two of them were now sitting face to face, there had been no words since they had entered.
"Most likely he and also the person behind him were the masterminds of the extermination of Cao's noble family, in Rose City, also the brains of the Zhou Clan's attack." Zhou Fan answered the outline of the story, as he felt it was not too important to discuss it too detailed.
"Where do you get the belief that they're the ones behind it all? And what is your relationship with Cao's nobility?" asked the City Lord who started to follow the plot, he was curious about Zhou Fan's story.
"I'm not the one who will accuse recklessly, for Cao's nobility, my mother is the last person left, other than me, her son!" zhou Fan said briefly.
"Even though you know who they are, do you think you can do something?"
"You only deliver life if you act rashly, at least their strength is not weak." The City Lord said in a doubtful voice, he was still unsure of Zhou Fan's abilities.
"Even though now I can't defeat them, but that doesn't mean I won't try, even if I only have a little hope, that's enough for me." Zhou Fan said confidently, his face did not emit the slightest doubt, there was only determination to resolve the matter of the mastermind of the attack.
"So can the City Lord tell me what you know about them?" Zhou Fan said in a slightly begging tone, he desperately needed information, even if there was a little, it would be very useful for him.
"I won't tell you, not because I don't want to, but I'm not sure you can do much." The City Lord shook his head, he indirectly challenged Zhou Fan to a duel with him.
"Is it because you see my rank still in the eight-star grand master fighter, you don't believe my words?" Zhou Fan was a little uncomfortable with the City Lord's words.
"I know, you once defeated Patriarch Bai who had the cultivation of a one-star king fighter, but that was inseparable from the carelessness of patriarch Bai...,"
"Are you able to defeat Patriarch Bai if he fights seriously?" ask the City Lord.
"You're so genius, if you keep improving your cultivation for a few more years, it doesn't rule out the possibility that you'll be able to defeat them." The City Lord advised Zhou Fan, he thought the young man before him was just being impulsive due to the pressure of his life's burden.
"Did City Lord hear Patriarch Bai is dead?" asked Zhou Fan with a grinning face.
"I know, everyone in White Chalk City knows it. According to the news that circulated, Patriarch Yu also lost his life, about a month ago the two often met, unexpectedly they were so loyal friends, even to death together." The City Lord replied casually, a soft laugh coming out of his lips.
"The one who killed both, did the City Lord know about it?" Zhou Fan asked again.
"To defeat Patriarch Bai, or Patriarch Yu is certainly not an indiscriminate person, must be a great person," the City Lord said.
"Yes, he's great. Not only that, he was also a handsome young man." Zhou Fan nodded with his chin raised.
No. yep...
Two rings rolling on the table, as the rings stopped spinning, the City Lord looked at the two rings alternately with Zhou Fan.
"Do you feel familiar with both rings?" Zhou Fan said with his forefinger showing the ring on the table.
"Hem... Well, I guess I've seen it, but I don't remember where." The City Lord's hand began to grab onto one of the rings.
His old eyes scoured the ring that happened to belong to Patriarch Bai, there was clearly engraved the emblem of the Bai Clan.
As his eyes looked at the emblem of the Bai Clan, his pupils instantly widened. He grabbed another ring, just like his first reaction, as if he could no longer breathe normally.
"I.. Here, how is it possible!" The City Lord looked at Zhou Fan fixedly.
While Zhou Fan was twisting his shoulders, with a lazy face he said.
"Because I killed them."
