On the way back to the Inner City, there were people coming and going.
Two bodyguards followed behind, matching Luo Chen's pace exactly, fully dedicated to ensuring his safety.
That previous encounter had them holding their breaths, a tension stuck in their throats.
Unknown to them, Luo Chen, who walked ahead with an air of confidence, had finally exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart.
The sword that hung over his head had loosened by an inch today!
Today's meeting with Gao Tingyuan was unexpected, yet within reasoning.
As soon as Luo Chen planned to send off Fu Xiuxiu, Elder Chen and the others, he had foreseen this and had already prepared several contingency plans in secret.
From his demeanor, to the tone of his speech, and when to be soft and when to be firm.
Everything was seemingly full of flaws, yet it all made sense!
