Donglin City, within the jurisdiction of Lanqu County City, could only be regarded as a small city. Hence, the position of City Lord should not be considered particularly important.
Nevertheless, Jing Yan had to give it a try. Even if he couldn't secure the position of City Lord, he couldn't allow the people of the Wen Family to become the ruler of Donglin City.
"Prince," Jing Yan asked tentatively, "City Lord Huo Chunyang of Donglin City disappeared several months ago, and his whereabouts remain unknown. Has a new City Lord for Donglin City been decided upon?"
He had already learned from Mu Liantian that the likely candidate for the City Lord of Donglin City was nearly confirmed to be an elder from the Wen Family. However, in front of Zhou Shangyun, it was better to feign ignorance, so as not to irritate Shangyun.
