Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 529 - 528: Did Your Master Ever Mention It?

Once they arrived at the City Lord Mansion, the City Lord instructed, "Recently, some things have happened in Liushui City, some disturbances. You can rest in the mansion and set off for Flower Town early tomorrow."

"Disturbances?" Lan Ruo asked curiously, "Why is it disturbed?"

The City Lord replied, "A black-clad assassin recently arrived in Liushui City and has killed eleven people already. However, this person is elusive, and we have yet to capture them."

"Assassin?" Mu Jian frowned, "Do you need my help?"

The City Lord’s eyes lit up, just as he was about to agree, Duan Yunfei interjected, "Senior Mu, I have some matters to discuss with you, could we talk privately?"

"Sure!" Mu Jian looked at the City Lord and said, "City Lord, please wait. I will be right back."

"Ah~" The City Lord nodded, "Please go ahead!"

Mu Jian looked at Duan Yunfei and said, "Young Master Duan, let’s go!"

Duan Yunfei nodded, and the two walked out side by side.

Once they left, those in the know glanced at Fu Junyan, only to see him calmly, as if the assassin mentioned by the City Lord was not him at all.

Du Bingxue collected herself and said to the City Lord, "City Lord, I’ll take everyone to rest now."

The City Lord nodded respectfully, "Alright, Miss Du, please go ahead!"

After leaving the main hall, Du Bingxue whispered, "Junyan, you better not act impulsively for a while."

Fu Junyan smiled, "Okay!"

Du Bingxue smiled lightly and then continued to lead everyone forward.

The City Lord, waiting in the main hall for Mu Jian’s return, originally thought that Mu Jian would bring up the matter of helping to catch the assassin upon his return, but unexpectedly, Mu Jian didn’t mention it at all.

He was puzzled but didn’t dare to ask, so he asked someone to guide Mu Jian to rest.

"Grandpa, what did that stingy Duan Yunfei want from you?"

As soon as Mu Jian returned, Lan Ruo eagerly asked.

Mu Jian listened intently to the faint movements outside the door, his eyes slightly cold, but he smiled and said, "Not much, just saying that the assassin is too cunning and powerful and advised me not to interfere to avoid trouble."

"Powerful?" Lan Ruo was surprised, "An assassin that even Duan Yunfei considers powerful must be truly formidable!"

"Indeed," Mu Jian nodded, "I wanted to help, but seeing that even Young Master Duan couldn’t capture the assassin, how could I dare to take the risk?"

"Better not go," Lan Ruo said, "If that assassin sees Grandpa meddling in their affairs and comes over to kill out of resentment, that would be bad!"

"That’s exactly what Grandpa thought," Mu Jian sighed quietly, "But I feel bad not being able to help the City Lord, and it’s awkward to mention it in front of him."

After a while, when the noises outside had dissipated, Song Ting came over and whispered, "Master, what happened?"

Mu Jian lowered his voice, "Young Master Duan said that the assassin is his friend, and those who died were all villains."

"Ah?" Lan Ruo frowned, "Then why did Grandpa lie to me earlier?"

"Because there were people outside," Song Ting said, "It seems the City Lord is suspicious."

"You’re the clever one, unlike this girl," Mu Jian said helplessly, "Remember to be more mindful next time."

Lan Ruo pouted, "I understand, Grandpa."

Song Ting recalled the reactions of Shen Qinglan and others in the main hall earlier and smiled faintly, "It’s unexpected that the Great General of Nanfeng Country would do such things."

"How do you know it was General Fu?" Mu Jian was puzzled, "Did I mention it?"
