Walker Of The Worlds

"Why was I not informed of the mayor's arrival?" Wu Hei questioned in a cold tone.

"My lord, we… could not. We sensed the spirit qi scanning over the manor before the Mayor's carriage entered the manor. As per your previous orders, we chose to hide and did not expose ourselves to the Mayor." The masked man spoke in a nervous tone.

A confused expression appeared on Wu Hei's face for a moment before he spoke again.

"The Mayor used spirit sense? But I did not detect it!? Are you sure of this?" Wu Hei questioned.

"Yes, my lord. I swear on my life." The masked man answered as he tapped his chest with his fist to show his determination.

"Hmm…" Wu Hei hummed as he rubbed his chin.

'Father is getting sneakier. He never did this before. Has he started to suspect something, perhaps?' Wu Hei thought to himself.

"Alright, it's fine then. But keep a closer eye next time. I want to know if he even gets close to the eastern district next time." Wu Hei ordered.

"Yes, my lord!" The masked man replied.

Wu Hei then continued thinking for about five minutes during which, the masked man stayed silent and waited.

"There will be some new guests in our district soon, the disciples of Tri cauldron peony sect. I want every single movement of theirs reported to me when they arrive." Wu Hei ordered.

"As you command, my lord." The masked man responded with his head lowered.

"You can go now." Wu Hei dismissed the man.
