Chapter 51: Coincidence

"Since you have matters to attend to, my young friend, we'll talk next time," Ye Batian said, having calmed down. "But you must do me the honor when the time comes."

"You are too polite, City Lord." Lin Yan gave a slight nod.

Standing by the door, Steward Sun looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had served in the City Lord's Mansion for many years, yet he had never seen his master act so courteously toward anyone. He couldn't help but sneak another glance at Ye Batian. Yes, it was still the same face, and his figure hadn't changed, but that smile on his face... He wondered if this was still the domineering and overbearing City Lord he knew.

Just as he was thinking this, Ye Batian glared over. "Sun Er! What are you standing there like an idiot for? Hurry up and see Mr. Lin out!"

Steward Sun shuddered, hastily bowing and making a gesture of invitation toward the door.
