The sky above the forest was already filled with thick smoke, and the sea of flames had dyed half of the sky red.
After dealing with the Bi brothers, Fatty and Fu Hu waited patiently at the periphery of the forest for a while to ensure that there would not be any more people coming.
If there were still people coming, then of course, they would also be killed tooâ¦
Fatty and Fu Hu looked at each other. After a long while, there was still no one coming.
The fire in the forest had reached its peak. From a distance, one could feel waves of steaming air. It hit oneâs face, making oneâs mouth dry and tongue dry, and their skin and eyes dry.
âIt seems that no one will come. Even if there are people coming, it should be time for us to go back and âreportâ!â
Fu Hu rubbed his chin. The honest look he had when he spoke to Bi Ji had long disappeared from his face. His two tiger-like eyes were shining brightly, and his expression was calm yet thoughtful.
Fatty nodded and did not refuse.
In his opinion, now was not the best time to leave. Since Lin Bai and the others were not the ones who did this, then Lin Bai and the others were definitely still under the City Lordâs Estate. He needed to go and take care of them to prevent any accidents from happening.
The two of them activated their cultivation techniques, and a gust of wind appeared under their feet. In the blink of an eye, they had run a hundred meters away.
They had to put on a show. If they saw the City Lord and their bodies were still clean, then no matter how beautiful their words were, no one would believe them.
Not to mention the City Lord, who was a shrewd devil.
In the distance, the forest that was raging with fire was thrown to the back, but the black smoke that rose into the sky was still shocking.
âFatty.â Fu Hu suddenly shouted. His face was serious. âLin Bai, the thin man, and that Bai Xi are right under the City Lordâs estate, right?
âRight in the secret room we went to before.â
Fu Huâs words shocked Fatty greatly. He even had a suspicion that Fu Hu was working for Lin Bai.
However, Fatty quickly gave up on this thought. If Fu Hu was really with Lin Bai, then Fattyâs previous plans would not have failed because of him.
When Fu Hu saw Fattyâs expression change again and again, he hesitated and hesitated. He had a decision in his heart. âAs expected!â
Fattyâs expression became awkward. He coughed. âI, I didnât say anything. I didnât say anything!â
Fattyâs heart was slightly creeped out. Staying by Fu Huâs side seemed to be the same as staying by Lin Baiâs side. His true thoughts would also be seen through.
These two peopleâ¦
Fatty shook his head and forced his expression to calm down.
Right now, he had yet to determine Fu Huâs target, so he still needed to be on guard against him.
Fu Hu could only guess where Lin Bai was, but he could not determine it. The prerequisite was that fatty did not say anything.
âHehe...â Fu Hu laughed coldly, his expression turning cold. âI already know, do you think the City Lord doesnât know? That is his secret chamber. He knows everything inside and out...â
âImpossible!â Fattyâs heart trembled as he shook his head frantically. âIf the City Lord knew, why would he follow us to this forest to look for Lin Bai?!â
âIt doesnât matter if you believe it or not. In any case, donât spill the beans later. Otherwise, Iâll definitely kick you away. Donât even think of dragging me down with you. Impossible!â
Fu Huâs attitude was resolute, and his tone was filled with ridicule.
Fatty could not see through Fu Huâs actions. Fu Huâs actions and goals did not have any rules to speak of, but everything he did revolved around the City Lord..
Then what was he planning to do with the City Lord? !
Fatty muttered in his heart. At the same time, he was wondering if the City Lord really knew that Lin Bai and the others were in the secret chamberâ¦
While Fattyâs thoughts were flying around, the two of them had already arrived at the capital at high speed, flashing left and right in the city.
âHey, whatâs that? It suddenly passed, I didnât see it clearly!â
âHey! You two are rushing to reincarnate, arenât you?!â
âCompensate, compensate me for the porcelain!â
â¦
The two of them rampaged around the capital city. This was done on purpose, just for the City Lord to see.
The City Lordâs influence was huge, and he had many subordinates. It was very normal for him to have many spies in the capital city. Presumably, the actions of the two of them would soon be heard by the City Lord, and that would be the best testimony for them.
âFu Hu, Fatty wants to see your lordship!â
The guard shouted into the main hall.
âEnter!â
A deep voice came from the main hall. Just hearing this voice made the guard feel a strong sense of fear.
âYou can enter.â
The guard wiped the sweat off his forehead and let the two of them go.
âCity Lord, we deserve ten thousand deaths, we deserve ten thousand deaths!â
Fu Hu had just entered the hall and quickly ran up. When he was fifteen meters away from the City Lord, he plopped down on one knee and cried.
The fattyâs mouth twitched as he imitated Fu Huâs actions.
âWhatâs the matter!?â
The City Lord sat on the chair and grabbed the handrails on both sides with both hands. The handrails on one side were even clattering from his grip.
Fu Huâs tone was filled with apology as he recounted what had happened in the forest to the City Lord:
âFatty and I found something different in the forest, so we packed it up and prepared to show it to you, City Lord...â
Fu Hu did not lie about what he said earlier, so the City Lord nodded slightly when he heard it.
âBut who knew that Lin Bai would return halfway and set the forest on fire. After that, he even wanted to make a move on the two of us. Just then, the Bi brothers rushed over and fell into a bitter struggle with Lin Bai... in the end, they were killed by that Devil Lin Bai, and their bodies were thrown into the sea of fire...â
From there, Fu Hu began to exaggerate and distort the truth. No matter what lie it was, it had to be mixed in with some truth so that it wouldnât be exposed.
After hearing this, the City Lordâs brows tightly knitted together.
âAfter that, Lin Bai fled. The forest was filled with a sea of fire, and he easily relied on Spirit Beasts to fly and escape. However, Fatty and I could only watch with our hearts filled with fury as he fled...â
If Fatty didnât know Fu Huâs true nature... He would really believe this nonsense.
Crack!!
The City Lord grabbed the handrail and crushed it into pieces. Wood chips flew everywhere.
Fu Hu and Fatty hurriedly buried their heads even lower. They didnât say a word as they waited for the City Lordâs anger.
Of course, if the City Lord had the intention to kill, they didnât plan to just wait for death. They had already planned an escape route before coming here.
This was all thanks to Fatty. When he was summoned by the City Lord a few days ago, he had paid special attention to the nearby buildings and some small streets.
âThe two of you will lead fifty people from the City Lordâs Estate to search for Lin Baiâs traces near the forest. If you canât find him... Donât come back either!â
The City Lordâs attitude had changed in a rare manner. The escape route that he had planned earlier was useless.
Fu Huâs body stiffened slightly, and he nodded his head with a serious expression on his face. He said with a sonorous tone, âYes! I will definitely not fail my mission!â
âYou can leave now!â
The City Lord waved his hand, signaling for the two of them to leave.
