Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 2997: 2997: Let's Wait and See

As for Bai Ti, he is Yan’er’s own cousin. Since the young master of White Lion City happens to be away, it is only logical to delegate this affair to him. No one could truly object to such an arrangement.

City Lord Bai: “!”

It appears that nobody has any desire to involve themselves in the complications surrounding the Le Family, does it?

Very well, then. Let Ti’er manage the situation. After all, it is merely a matter for someone from the City Lord Residence to resolve, and since Ti’er possesses an affinity for business, he is the ideal candidate for the task.

Once the Le Family’s shop stands vacant, it will be perfectly suited for him to seize control. It is simply ideal.

“Then let Ti’er handle it; he enjoys these sorts of undertakings the most.”

“Indeed.”

Hong Dahua could not have been more content to push the Le Family’s dilemmas into the background.

Nevertheless, she remained troubled by the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Second Young Master Sima. The Le Family had just encountered turbulence, and then Young Master Le allegedly slew the Second Young Master Sima?

Surely, even a simpleton would not dare to commit murder at such a precarious juncture, correct?

Furthermore, the deceased was a direct descendant of the Sima Family, a house of great influence. There must be an underlying reason for this turn of events.

“I shall personally conduct an investigation into the true cause of Second Young Master Sima’s demise.”

Upon hearing this, City Lord Bai was struck with surprise.

In an instant, the realization dawned on him that the timing was indeed suspicious.

“There is no need for you to go yourself. Let Elder Xin oversee the inquiry. He will surely be capable of bringing the truth to light.” If there was indeed, in fact, something to be discovered, that would prove advantageous.

Even though he had no intention of intervening, if there were a hidden puppet master behind these events, it would provide him with valuable leverage.

“That is an acceptable plan.”

Hong Dahua pondered for a moment before offering a nod.

This arrangement would also grant her the freedom to attend to her own private matters.

“Since there is nothing else on the agenda, I intend to pay a visit to Secluded Gorge shortly. What are your thoughts?” she inquired of City Lord Bai.

City Lord Bai: “!!!”

He might as well have allowed Dahua to lead the investigation into Second Young Master Sima. Why had he even bothered to speak?

Secluded Gorge served as the retreat where the Clan Elders of the City Lord Residence entered closed door cultivation. If his wife departed for that place, he had no way of knowing how many months she would be absent, and he found the prospect of being alone quite daunting.

“Whatever for would you go to Secluded Gorge? It is filled only with a group of elderly men; what could possibly be of interest there?” he asked, a pout forming on his lips.

Hong Dahua rolled her eyes at her husband, finding herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Why else would she venture to Secluded Gorge? Should the Evil Dragon truly emerge, did he honestly believe that the two of them alone could convince the members of the Beastmen Tribe within the Beast Domain to unite with them?

They would inevitably need to lean upon the connections and prestige forged by the older generation. Should the Clan Elders fail to emerge when the moment strikes, they would be left with nothing on their own.

“Indeed, just a group of old men.”

However, it is precisely those old geezers who hold the power to tip the scales.

“You, a full-grown man, still cannot hold a candle to the relevance of those old men.” She cast a look of disdain in his direction before turning back toward the City Lord Residence.

City Lord Bai: “…”

Why on earth was he considered lesser than those elders?

While his cultivation level might not measure up, he was at least in his prime and occupied with daily affairs. How could he compare poorly to those men who did nothing but consume rations and cultivate in the depths of Secluded Gorge?

By the time he reached their age… pfft, why was he even cursing himself like that? He was still young!

“Let us set aside the subject of Secluded Gorge. The drama of the day is far from concluded, so let us simply wait and see.”

On one side stood Young Master Le; on the other, the Second Young Master of the Sima Family. Regardless of how many times the Head of the Le Family appears to offer apologies, the matter will inevitably land at the City Lord Residence by the day's end, and so he must prepare himself to wait for it.
