"Go now and handle it. Buy the several residences next to Commander Lin's home and register them in Commander Lin's name."
After some thought, he lifted his head and instructed the guard.
He figured that Lin Nian must be going back to bring his family to live in Sky City.
If there were many of them, could they all fit in Lin Nian's small house? He better consider this for him and buy him a few more houses.
"Yes, City Lord," replied the guard, who then left.
"Lin Nian, oh Lin Nian, look how well this City Lord treats you. I've arranged your home for you; you better return soon!" It was only after the guard had left that the City Lord muttered to the air.
"Return soon for what?"
Suddenly, a voice tinged with amusement reached his ears, and he looked up to see his wife walking in.
"Lady, what brings you here?"
He stood up and asked.
"I heard that Lin Nian had left and came to see how you were," the Lady of the City Lord's Mansion said.
"Ah," he sighed deeply.
