Chapter 2582: This Person Is Extraordinary

During her stay at the City Lord Manor, Feng Jiu made herself at home. She had ordered the maid to go to the kitchen and cook some dishes and bring some wine which she enjoyed in the courtyard.

At this time, Ling Tianyu walked in from outside. When he saw that she was living at ease in their manor and made herself at home, he couldn’t help but snorted coldly: “You’ve made yourself so comfortable, almost as if you’re treating my house like yours!”

Feng Jiu glanced at him: “What? Does the Young City Lord want to join me for a drink?”

Ling Tianyu’s face was dark, his eyes were fixed on Feng Jiu, and he asked in a calm voice: “Feng Jiu! Who are you? Why are you looking for the Immortal Ascension Ladder?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly. She played with the wine cup in her hand and watched the wine swirling in the cup as she swayed it gently. She smiled and said: “Don’t you know who I am? As for why I am looking for the Immortal Ascension Ladder, that’s my business and it doesn’t have anything to do with you, am I right?”

She paused and her eyes fell on him, then she smiled: “Also, now that you have been released from your contract, why are you still here shaking in front of me?”

“Shaking in front of you?” His voice was slightly raised, like a little beast whose tail had been stepped on. He retorted immediately: “It’s you that’s living in my house, not me shaking in front of you!”

“Now that I’m the Manor’s guest, should you be treating your guests like this as the Young City Lord?” She raised her eyebrows and looked at him: “I wonder if the City Lord knows that the Young City Lord has come to me.”

Ling Tianyu froze slightly when he heard this. He glared viciously at Feng Jiu, then he snorted coldy and turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu’s lips curled into a smile and she ignored him. After she had finished eating, she walked around the courtyard for a while, then she ordered someone to prepare a bath for her. After she had taken her bath, she retired early to rest.

That night, in the City Lord Manor.

The City Lord went to the back of the mountain alone. After he had crossed through the boundary barriers and arrays, he entered a cave dwelling. Once inside, he bowed respectfully: “Father.”

“Come in.” Inside a stone room in the cave dwelling, an old man was sitting cross-legged practising. He opened his eyes and looked outside.

When he heard the voice, the City Lord walked inside and entered. He came in front of the old man: “Father, I hope Father will forgive me for disturbing you so late at night.”

“Is something wrong?” The old man asked in a deep voice.

“Yu’er did something stupid outside today…” City Lord Ling briefly explained the matter, and finally, he said: “The main thing is that I was surprised when I heard Feng Jiu actually mentioned the Immortal Ascension Ladder.”

He paused, then said: “I remember Father said once before that the Immortal Ascension Ladder leads to another world, and only those who have the strength to reach the level of Immortal Emperor would be qualified to climb the Immortal Ascension Ladder. I still remember that Father once said that there are ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine steps in the Immortal Ascension Ladder and that each step is dangerous and unpredictable.”

Upon hearing this, the old man stroked his beard and asked: “Who is this Feng Jiu? How did he know about the Immortal Ascension Ladder?”

The City Lord pondered, then said: “This person is dressed in red with a handsome face. He looks to be around the age of twenty. Although he has hidden his breath, I can still detect his superior strength. We only know that this person is unfathomable and extraordinary, but we don’t know anything about his origins.”

Upon hearing this, a dim light flashed across the old man’s wise eyes, and he asked slowly: “So, tomorrow he will go to the library?”
