Chapter 1931: Chapter 148: Master Ling (Part 2)

This allowed Master Ling to stay in Fenghua City. Initially, Master Ling was only cultivating in the City Lord’s Mansion. Later, because he was bored, he helped my father manage the affairs there. When my father saw that Master Ling was interested in the City Lord’s Mansion, he first entrusted Master Ling with half of the mansion’s affairs. Later, when my mother went missing, my father was almost never at the mansion for a while, searching everywhere for my mother’s whereabouts. During those years, it was Master Ling who managed the mansion’s affairs. If my father was the City Lord of the mansion, then Master Ling was the Vice City Lord! Just like you said, those who cultivate have endless lifespans. Actually, my father had long wanted to hand over the affairs of the mansion to Master Ling. Although he couldn’t give him the City Lord’s position, Master Ling’s status in the City Lord’s Mansion was the same as my father’s. So why would he harm my father?” Feng Xiaoyao said, truly unable to accept it.

”Xiaoyao, if what you say is true, and this Master Ling of yours really has no interest in the City Lord’s position, then why have we been back so long, and I haven’t seen him? Moreover, your brother-in-law has been poisoned for several months; why isn’t he by his side to watch over him? Do you think this is normal?” Fang Shile asked suspiciously.

”When we came back, didn’t they say that before anything happened to Dad, Master Ling had gone into seclusion? Also, Dad instructed them not to disturb Master Ling’s seclusion!” Feng Xiaoyao said.

”I still don’t quite understand. Even if your father is no longer around, shouldn’t you be the City Lord? Why do you say it should be that Master Ling?” Mo Jiuli asked curiously.

”Because I already said I wouldn’t be the City Lord, not just once, but multiple times in front of my father, Master Ling, and everyone in the City Lord Mansion. I won’t be the City Lord of Fenghua City. My father also didn’t want to force me. He also said that if one day he was no longer around and I didn’t want to be the City Lord, then Master Ling would be the City Lord of Fenghua City!” Feng Xiaoyao thought and said.

”Then when was this said?” Mo Jiuli continued to ask.

”This... about three hundred years ago!” Feng Xiaoyao thought and said, and after speaking, it seemed as if something dawned on him.

”Look, now you say that your brother-in-law said this three hundred years ago, and now this young lady also says your father has been poisoned for three hundred years. Could this really be a coincidence?” Fang Shile said, looking at Feng Xiaoyao.

”I... I don’t know, but why would Master Ling do this? Why would he do such a thing!” Feng Xiaoyao said, truly unable to comprehend.

”Give me your hand...” Mo Jiuli looked at Feng Xiaoyao and said.

Feng Xiaoyao, hearing this, was puzzled, but still obediently extended his hand. Mo Jiuli took Feng Xiaoyao’s pulse and checked his body carefully before saying, ”I was right. There is indeed the same chronic poison in your body as in your father’s, but probably because you don’t stay in the City Lord’s Mansion often, the poison within you is almost negligible...”

”I’m poisoned too?” Feng Xiaoyao asked in surprise.

”Not exactly, just a trace of poison, not enough to call you poisoned. I think it’s probably from the times in these three hundred years when you occasionally spent time with your father and the person who poisoned him, leaving a trace inside you! As long as your strength improves, this trace of poison would dissolve on its own...” Mo Jiuli said lightly.

”But how can we find out who poisoned my father? Do you have a method?” Feng Xiaoyao asked Mo Jiuli expectantly. He really couldn’t believe Master Ling was the one who poisoned him.
