Xia Feng felt a headache coming on. Why was it related to a woman again?
However, the Seven-Colored Disk was a beautiful jade pendant, usually worn by women. This item would even seek out women on its own and wouldn't stay with men.
So, it wasn't strange for Chu Dong to say it was on a woman.
Chu Dong pondered for a moment and finally remembered.
"I remember now, it's on the city guard's daughter. I'll get it for you tomorrow," Chu Dong finally recalled the origin of the jade pendant and assured Xia Feng.
"How about this, you trade something with her. Any cultivation resources will do. This jade pendant is useless to her." If the jade pendant was ownerless, or belonged to Chu Dong himself, it would be easier.
Now that it was being worn, Xia Feng certainly wouldn't want to snatch it. Taking the jade pendant directly wouldn't be the act of a gentleman.
Since this jade pendant was on a woman, it was necessary to exchange something for it, not to steal it.
"Okay, I'll go ask tomorrow then." Chu Dong quickly agreed.
"Alright, go rest first." Xia Feng then proactively walked towards the City Lord's mansion.
The next day.
Chu Dong first held a city-wide meeting, asking everyone to spread the news about the lifting of the curfew, and also informed everyone that the city's affairs had been completely resolved.
Initially, everyone would certainly not believe it.
After all, Chu Dong had made a move before, only to be beaten like a dog and almost lose his life because of it.
Now, Chu Dong announced that the city was safe and the curfew was lifted without any warning, which made it difficult for people to believe.
Of course, Chu Dong didn't bother to explain whether they believed it or not. After some time, as more and more people appeared on the streets, everyone would no longer be truly worried.
By then, even if he didn't say anything, everyone would know that the ghost matter had been thoroughly resolved.
Today, Chu Dong had a major task to handle, which was to exchange the jade pendant for Xia Feng.
It was at the residence of Chu Kangbo, Chu Dong's city guard.
Chu Kangbo was Chu Dong's confidant, which was why he could hold the position of city guard.
The city guard was in charge of all security matters within the city, and usually, his close associates were in charge.
Chu Kangbo was not only Chu Dong's confidant but also his cousin, sharing the same grandfather.
The moment Chu Dong convened the meeting and lifted the curfew, he went to Chu Kangbo's house.
"City Lord, have you really dealt with the ghosts in the city? And the curfew has been officially lifted?" Chu Kangbo still didn't quite believe it. It wasn't that he didn't believe Chu Dong's words, but rather that he didn't believe the ghosts could be dealt with so easily.
"Yes."
Chu Dong's mind was not on this at all. He looked around and then asked, "Where is Qing Yu?"
"Qing Yu should be at home. I'm not sure," Chu Kangbo looked at Chu Dong curiously.
It was the first time he had seen Chu Dong ask about his daughter.
"Big Brother, is something wrong?"
Chu Kangbo had followed Chu Dong for tens of thousands of years and understood his temper very well. If there wasn't a special matter or an unexpected event, Chu Dong wouldn't mention his daughter.
"There is indeed something, and it's a big matter," Chu Dong nodded.
Chu Kangbo's expression changed upon hearing this, and he was alarmed.
Something major had happened?
"Big Brother, what happened? Tell me quickly."
Chu Kangbo also became anxious and quickly stood up to ask.
The major matters that Chu Dong mentioned were indeed major matters, which made Chu Kangbo anxious, and moreover, it seemed to involve his daughter, which made Chu Kangbo even more eager.
Seeing Chu Kangbo's anxious expression, Chu Dong comforted him, "It's not that much related to Qing Yu. Don't worry first."
"That's good, that's good." Chu Kangbo breathed a sigh of relief and said "that's good" twice.
Only then did Chu Dong explain the reason:
"Actually, I came this time for the jade pendant that Qing Yu is wearing around her neck."
