31 Clear Sky City (1/2)
Inside the City Lord Mansion
”Is what you just said true about the members of the Bai Family in my city” a middle aged man said towards a guard who was kneeling in front of him.
”Yes City Lord, what I just said is true” the guard replied. This guard was the one who was on the city gate earlier, he was also the one who talk to the Bai siblings earlier.
”Alright you can leave now” the guard bowed and immediately leave the room.
'Hmm, what could be their intention in visiting my Clear Sky City' the city lord ponder to himself as he think of a reason for the arrival of the Bai members. He was Ming Tiankong the current city lord of the Clear Sky City.
The Clear Sky City was being controlled by three powers, the Ming Family, the Black Sky Organization and the Emerald Lotus Auction House. The Ming family is the one who controls the running of the city. The Black Sky Organization is the one who controls the slums on the city and dark business. The Emerald Lotus Auction House on the other hand was the one who controls the businesses in the city,, and also they are the most mysterious among the three. Many people didn't know where they come from even the other two powers. They just suddenly appear in their city and bought almost every running business there. Their background was unknown just like their intention there.
The other two powers already task someone to investigate the Auction House, but everytime they do it, they will just suddenly lost contact to the person they send to investigate. Because of that, the two power decided to stop investigating the auction house and just observe them.
”Maybe I can use this chance to build some relationship to the Bai Family” Ming Tiankong said to himself and continue to contemplate about the idea.

In the streets of the city, Bai Mei was walking while wearing a light blue dress and a veil was covering her beautiful face. The little girl was following behind her while humming a happy tune and skipping steps. The two immediately gathered the attention of anyone who see them, just from the aura of Bai Mei the people knew she came from a prestigious family.
”Little Ke follow me inside, lets buy little brother some clothes” Bai Mei saw a clothing store and went inside with the little girl following behind.
The inside of the store was quite nice, there are different clothes hanging on display. Some have extravagant style while some is rather ordinary. Bai Mei continues to look for a clothes that she will buy for her brother.
”Oh! a customer” an old dude came out from one of the room in the store and was surprised when he saw that his show has a customer.
”What does young lady wants? Maybe I can help you choose some” Bai Mei just glance at the old dude and return to selecting clothes.
The old dude just shrug his shoulder and wait for them to finish selecting clothes.
”How much for these?” Bai Mei pointed at a light blue clothe with a simple design. She chooses it because it has a similar color on the dress she was wearing now.
