That was right. She had forgotten that Chu Yun and Xiao Jin were in contact.

Didn’t that mean that Xiao Jin already knew that she had arrived at Sky Alpha

City very early?

Su Ying held her forehead in dismay. How could she have forgotten about this?

Forget it. She would just look for an excuse to brush him off when she went

back.

“City Lord, what plans do you have after those ores are dug out?

“Let’s see how much there are. If the amount isn’t a lot, we can keep them for our own use. If the quantity is enough, we can always sell some.”

“Yes, City Lord.”

“You haven’t recovered from your injuries yet, so go back and rest. I won’t leave

for a while so I’ll handle the matters in the city.”

When Chu Yun heard Su Ying say that she wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon, he felt an incredible sense of security in his heart for some reason. It was as if as long as Su Ying was around, any problem could be solved.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, City Lord.”

After Chu Yun left, Su Ying planned to go into the city to take a look. After returning to the city, she had headed straight out to take care of the mine. She didn’t know how were the living conditions of the people in the city.

In order to get more authentic feedback, Su Ying changed her appearance before leaving the palace and didn’t let anyone follow her.

There was a certain distance between the palace and the inner city where the commoners lived. There was also a very large training ground in between.

Just as Su Ying got near the training ground, she heard waves of hollers, each wave louder than the previous. It had to be said that the food these young men had been eating had gotten better and better during the time she had been away. Each and every one of them had become much taller and stronger, and they looked even more imposing when they trained.

After passing through the training ground and two more gates, she arrived at the commoners’ district.

Chu Yun said that after Su Ying’s group left, the Tiger Base had taken in some new people on and off. These new people had also followed them to Sky Alpha City this time. Together with the people from the tribes, the city was now much more lively.

After entering through the gate, she saw a street after walking a short while. On both sides of the street were shops that were open for business. Perhaps it was still early as there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Su Ying strolled along the streets, looking at the busy people on the streets. The place gave off the harmonious feeling of commoners living peacefully and working contentedly.

“Wonton! Delicious, big meat wonton. Madam, do you want a bowl? I guarantee that your body will warm up after eating a bowl.”

Su Ying had just walked past the breakfast shop when the shop owner greeted her warmly.

Su Ying wasn’t hungry, but she still wanted to have a taste. “Sure. Give me a bowl of big meat wontons.”

The shop owner smiled and invited her to sit in the inner hall. “Please wait a moment. I’ll serve you the wontons now.”

“Alright.”

While she was waiting, the shop owner even gave her a bowl of soy milk for

free.

“This soybean milk has just been prepared. Try it.”

“Thank you.”

Su Ying picked up the bowl, blew on it, and took a big gulp. It was indeed more comfortable to eat something warm on such a cold day.

“Madam, your wonton is ready. Please enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

The shop owner did not leave immediately after serving the wontons. Instead, he asked with a smile, “Madam, you look a little unfamiliar. You have just arrived, haven’t you?”

Su Ying didn’t miss the shop owner’s probing gaze that flashed past in that instant. The commoners’ district was under Tiger Might’s jurisdiction. He had said before that he would plant some spies among the people, and the shop owner of this breakfast shop might be one of them.

“Not really. It’s just that I’ve been working in the palace and rarely come out to the streets.” As she said this, Su Ying seemed to carelessly reveal the palace token hanging from her waist, thereby dispelling the shop owner’s suspicions.

When he realized that it was a misunderstanding, the shop owner gave Su Ying an additional free bun.

Su Ying was beginning to suspect that he was losing money if he did business like this.

After eating, Su Ying placed the copper coins on the table and was about to leave when she saw several people running out of an alley, chasing a man who was running in front.

“Meng Jiang, stop right there! I must teach you a good lesson today!”

Those people gritted their teeth as they chased and caught up with Meng Jiang. They gave him a kick in the back before the whole group of people pounced on him.

Meng Jiang was not someone to be trifled with. Although the other party had more people, he still gritted his teeth and fought back. For a while, the other party was not in a favorable position.

When the owner of the wonton shop saw this, he clicked his tongue. “Why are these people fighting?”

As he spoke, the shop owner rushed out to stop the fight.

“What are you guys doing so early in the morning? Do you still want to stay in the city or not?”

The shop owner probably had some authority. The moment he hollered at them, those people really stopped fighting.

Meng Jiang’s face was covered in bruises, but his eyes were ferocious. He did not seem to be afraid at all.

“What are you guys doing? When your boss Long Ba opened his business, he promised that there would be no trouble. What’s going on today?”

When those guys who were chasing Meng Jiang heard this, they felt a little aggrieved. “You ask him if we’re the ones causing trouble or if this brat is looking for trouble. Just because Meng Zi has some friendship with the City Lord, he becomes bold enough to set fire to our backyard. If we hadn’t discovered it early, that building would have been burned down by him. Don’t you think he’s asking for a beating?”

The shop owner did not know about this at all. He looked at Meng Jiang in surprise. “Is what they said true?”

“That kind of filthy place should be burned down!” Meng Jiang spat out viciously.

As soon as he said this, those people became upset.

“Hey, you brat! I must have extended too much courtesy to you, haven’t I?

“Our Boss Long Ba is operating a legitimate business. What matter is it of yours if they are all willing parties?”

The sneer on Meng Jiang’s face intensified. “Willing parties? Yesterday, you guys abducted my wife. If she hadn’t been smart enough to escape, I don’t know what would have happened to her now!”

A few of the henchmen started to look evasive. Meng Jiang took it as a sign of their guilty conscience, so he threw a punch at one of them.

In a flash, the two sides started fighting again.

When he saw that the situation was out of his control, the shop owner spoke a few words to his wife and she quickly sent people to get help.

Su Ying returned to the table and sat down. She then ordered another large bowl of wontons.

The shop owner’s wife seemed a little distracted. Su Ying took the opportunity to ask, “Madam, what on earth is going on? Has something like this happened before?”

The shop owner’s wife came over with a bowl of wontons and replied, “There are always conflicts between people. There were some small conflicts in the past, but it’s been a long time since they caused trouble on the street like today. Madam, don’t be afraid. Someone will come to take care of them in a while. They won’t let these people hurt innocent bystanders.”

The shop owner’s wife was right. Someone rushed over before Su Ying finished her second bowl of wontons.

Su Ying recognized that these were Tiger Might’s men back when they were in the Tiger Base. Now, they were the security personnel in charge of the city s security.

“What are you guys doing? Stop at once!”

Those security personnel stepped forward and separated Meng Jiang from the other group.

“Don’t scare the passers-by. Come back with us and talk nicely!” The security personnel took them away without another word.

Su Ying thought for a moment, then paid a few more copper coins before following them to the Peace-keeping Bureau.

For the time being, before she understood the whole matter thoroughly, Su Ying did not want to reveal her true identity. After arriving at the Peace-keeping Bureau, she slipped in from the back courtyard.

As soon as she entered, she saw Meng Jiang jump up from the ground and was about to start fighting again..
