Xu Qi paused mid-step, his hand just inches from the door handle. He recognized the voice immediately. It was Madam Feng, the wife of the City Lord of Fengyun City. The one that he suspected to be stronger than her husband and was secretly taking the helm of their clan's decision.
"Good timing. I can test Elemental Scrying with her. As long as there's a primal element that followed her from where she came from, I can coax them to show me what they saw on the way here." He thought, ideas already forming in his head.
Naturally, he still had to be wary. Although he invited Madam Feng for a conversation with the faint suggestion carried by the irresistible allure of his voice, Elder Zhou suppressed the news that he was attacked.
For Madam Feng to still visit here despite that, either Elder Zhou wasn't informed of her arrival at the Outpost or she was allowed to visit him. Whether she knew of his state or not was still uncertain.
