City Lord Shi Yuan is a cunning old fox. He sized up Ling Feng and asked coldly, "You, a pauper, managed to discover a treasure? You're not trying to find some excuse to harm the King, are you?"
"Of course not, I'm telling the truth!"
Ling Feng removed the package from his back, opened it, and revealed twenty Mystical Spirit Stones inside!
"Oh!"
Shi Yuan and his scribe were startled by the sheer number of Mystical Spirit Stones.
After a moment of shock, Shi Yuan frowned, "With just these few items, you want to present them to the King? Do you think he has never seen the world?"
"No, not at all."
Ling Feng quickly shook his head and continued, "These are a gift for you, City Lord. What I have for the King is much more!"
"Oh, really?"
Shi Yuan was overjoyed inside but kept a poker face and nodded slightly, "You're very filial. In that case, I can help you by speaking to the King for you!"
"Thank you very much, City Lord!" Ling Feng said.
