The City Lord hurried over and stood before Lěng Yè, rubbing his hands together with a somewhat awkward smile. "Young Master Leng, what brings you here?" he asked with a beaming smile, his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
Lěng Yè looked him over carefully. The man was short and plump, and his eyes gleamed with shrewdness. "You've seen the situation at the Zhuge estate. It's extremely weak right now, and I'm afraid other factions might take the opportunity to stir up trouble, especially by playing dirty with the properties outside the city. I need you to hold down the fort and deter those audacious scoundrels."
The City Lord nodded repeatedly. "Understood, understood. I completely understand the Zhuge family's concerns. In that case, it is naturally my duty." He smiled with a flattering expression on his face. "Which other families would dare act rashly? You're the one who defeated someone like Leng Youyou with your own hands; who would dare disobey you?"
