The moment Li Yun stepped inside, his eyes fell on the two figures seated within. The City Lord herself, Bai Xueqin, in her flowing light-purple robe, radiated an untouchable nobility that made the air feel heavier. Beside her sat Pavilion Master Guan Long, his expression unreadable, eyes gleaming with calm authority.
Li Yun paused for half a breath. For the City Lord and the Pavilion Master to appear together… whatever this was, it was no trivial matter.
"City Lord, Young Master Li Yun has arrived," Bai Futian announced. With a single nod from Bai Xueqin, he respectfully withdrew, leaving only the three inside.
"Greetings, City Lord. Greetings, Pavilion Master." Li Yun cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
In Azure Wind City, these two were like living deities, untouchable, above all others. To offend either of them would be courting death.
