Sure enough, another large group of soldiers slowly entered an hour later, surrounding the entire inn from inside out.

The pedestrians stopped and started a series of discussions.

Inside the room, their faces were dark.

At the same time, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Duan Wuhen sat at the very top, and below him were over a dozen silhouettes. There were both men and women, all of different ages, and all of different expressions. These were all strategists from the City Lord's Mansion.

His gaze swept across the place below and then spoke out, "How long is the fastest way to get to Sky Region City from the Mount Yuheng?"

A middle-aged woman stood up and said, "If the Tutor were to travel with all his might, it would take a month. Twenty days for a silver ranked ship and fourteen days for a gold ranked ship."

Duan Wuhen nodded, his gaze becoming more profound: "The letter from Mount Yuheng, who saw it?"

A man stood out and replied, "Reporting to Young Noble, our letter clearly states that Mount Yuheng will send a male and a female disciple here."

The second piece of information was accurate, but the first piece made Duan Wuhen sneer.

It would take fourteen days to get from the Mount Yuheng to the Sky Region City by gold-ranked flying ship, but only two days had passed since the time they had taken the invitation letter.

Who could cross such a large distance in two days?

The Celestial King?

However, the man and woman that came were not the Celestial King. Even if they were carrying treasures with them, it would be impossible for them to reach the Sky Region City in two short days.

As a result, the man and woman were bound to be fake, and not Mount Yuheng disciples.

Of course, even if he made such a judgement, Duan Wuhen still wouldn't dare to act rashly. What if the opponent really was? If he made a move, it would be violating the authority of the Mount Yuheng and provoking the Sacred Grounds. That kind of outcome was something he could not endure.

So, after returning from the tavern, he gathered all of the strategists. What he wanted was not only judgement, but accurate information.

A few months ago, there were Mount Yuheng's disciples who arrived at the Mount Daliang. If those two disciples happened to be at the Shang Kingdom, it might be possible for them to come to Heavenly Region City in two days. "

Duan Wuhen narrowed his eyes, a bright light shining in his eyes.

The man continued, "Very simple, Young Master can let me probe."

Duan Wuhen still did not speak. His Mount Yuheng were too far away from his Shang Kingdom so he did not understand that ancient existence.

However, some strategists in Sky Region City might know about it.

And the man in front of him, was one of them. According to rumours, he had once been to the Mount Yuheng.

However, the biggest problem now was that Duan Wuhen did not believe him, because the person in front of him was his adorable third brother's advisor.

The man sighed, he had also guessed Duan Wuhen's worries, and said: "Young Noble, why don't you find someone to accompany me?"

It was a good idea.

Duan Wuhen's eyes lit up as he smiled.

About ten minutes later, a carriage set out from the City Lord's Mansion, followed by a line of soldiers.

After about forty to fifty minutes, the carriage stopped in front of the inn.

In the room, Li Yi looked through the window and saw the horse carriage, and a middle aged man walking down.

The man was around forty years old and looked somewhat thin. He wore a plain robe and had an ordinary face. However, his eyes were bright, like those eyes that concealed countless wisdom.

Chen Meng also came closer with a grave expression on his face, "Duan Wuhen must have guessed something. Now he has sent people over to probe us."

Li Yi faintly sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I would have crippled him and left the inn."

Chen Meng rolled his eyes. Although he was reprimanding her, he was more grateful.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

The two of them quickly regained their composure and organized their things before Li Yi walked over with large strides.

The middle-aged man saluted and revealed a smile: "City lord Hu Tiankun greets the two sirs." Behind him was an elegant, middle-aged woman and child. She bowed, but didn't say anything.

Chen Meng was annoyed, the temper of the young miss surfaced: "Can you let me rest?"

Li Yi said in embarrassment as he looked at Hu Tiankun with a little difficulty: "Senior, I'm sorry, my family's young miss, you have traveled a long distance and just arrived in Sky Region City. You must be tired."

Hu Tiankun had yet to speak, but the middle-aged woman and the child behind him frowned: "Two Masters, to be honest, the City Lord must have a problem with the letter and sent it out immediately, that's why he's in such a rush, I hope both of you will forgive me."

This was a test.

Li Yi and Chen Meng remained silent and did not continue with the topic.

When did the mayor launch the trust raft? Because of what? What's the problem?

Currently, is the City Lord in the Sky Region City?

In the span of a few breaths, the two both thought of many questions.

Return? Or not to return?

If they were going to answer, what would they say?

If they did not answer, it would further deepen their false identities.

After a long while, Li Yi shook his head: "May I ask if the City Lord is here?" He did not answer the middle-aged woman and child's question because there was no answer, but he chose to do the opposite.

Since you want to ask, he asked too.

Chen Meng, who was behind him, also laughed secretly. He thought to himself, this guy is really smart!

The middle-aged woman and child were stunned.

Hu Tiankun laughed: "The mayor has gone out, only Young Master is left in the city."

Li Yi nodded, and said indifferently: "Then let's talk after the City Lord returns!" The meaning behind his words was very clear. Other than the City Lord, no one else in the entire Sky Region City had the right to discuss with them.

This was a form of contempt, as well as a haughty attitude.

Because Li Yi was very clear that since the origin of his Mount Yuheng was shocking, then as a person from that place, he had to exist as a superior existence.

Only in this way would he be able to convince others.

Hu Tiankun retracted his smile, his expression serious: I have disturbed the two masters' rest, we will take our leave. With that, he turned around and left.

It was simple and efficient.

In the eyes of the middle-aged woman and the children, this did not seem like Hu Tiankun's style.

Chen Meng slowly raised his head and asked suspiciously, "He's gone? That Hu Tiankun doesn't look like a simple person either! "

Li Yi did not speak, his expression was heavy. After he closed the door, he silently took out a piece of paper, on which four words were written: "Who are you?"

Seeing that, Chen Meng's face changed.

This piece of paper was given to him by Hu Tiankun, which meant that the other party had already seen through their authenticity.

Li Yi crumpled the white paper into a ball and sighed: "He didn't expose us." This was the biggest question in Li Yi's heart.

Chen Meng was also troubled, her identity had already been exposed, she could not escape even if she wanted to. After tomorrow, what would she face? Was it a heavy killing? Or was this a lie to the end?

What worried them the most was Hu Tiankun. This was a terrifying variable.
