Captain Shan blinked in surprise, his mouth slightly agape as he stared at the City Lord.
"Two days?" he repeated, unable to hide his astonishment at the sudden notice.
But seeing the icy, serious look in Lan Suyao's eyes, Captain Shan only hesitated for a brief moment before cupping his fists once more.
"As you command, City Lord."
His gaze flicked nervously toward Li Feng, who was smiling brightly as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
That lecherous alchemist even had the audacity to gently squeeze Lan Suyao's shoulder right in front of him.
"Will… Alchemist Li be joining us?" Captain Shan asked carefully.
Lan Suyao nodded.
"Li Feng will accompany us. His alchemist abilities may prove useful in investigating the plague."
Hearing this, Captain Shan bowed deeply.
Though confusion and a hint of suspicion lingered in his eyes, he knew it was sometimes wiser to feign ignorance.
"Understood. I will prepare everything immediately."
He then turned and left the room.
