In Candlelight City, at the mayor's residence.
An old man hurriedly led a thin, wiry Beast Master towards the mayor's residence.
This thin, unsteady young Beast Master was the one who had just intercepted Bai Zi'an.
“Butler Li, my uncle called for me. Is there something urgent?”
The thin Beast Master asked the butler of the mayor's residence, his face full of confusion.
Earlier, the butler had come directly to him, insisting he go to the mayor's residence immediately without any delay.
This left the thin Beast Master feeling puzzled and somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, he still wanted to find that beautiful woman he had just seen; how could he have time to go to the mayor's residence?
This made him feel quite frustrated.
Unexpectedly, his uncle suddenly sent someone to find him, not allowing him to wait even a moment, insisting he must go to the mayor's residence right now.
This left the thin Beast Master feeling utterly disheartened.
“Cousin, you'll understand when you get there.”
The butler replied quickly, not knowing much more.
All he knew was that when the mayor of Candlelight City had issued his orders earlier, his expression had been quite grim.
It seemed that the young master was in for some trouble.
Before long, the thin Beast Master arrived at the mayor's residence.
As he walked into the hall, he immediately noticed that the young man he had been competing with was now in the mayor's residence.
This filled him with delight.
It was truly a stroke of luck; he hadn't even sought out the other party, and the other party had come right to him.
This meant he might have another chance to see that beautiful woman from earlier.
However, in the next moment, the thin Beast Master froze.
Because the situation before him seemed a bit off.
The young man was actually seated in the main seat.
Meanwhile, his uncle, the mayor, was standing beside him, not even daring to sit down.
“This is bad; I've hit a wall!”
The thin Beast Master's face turned pale.
Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't react at all.
The background of the other party must be incredibly formidable.
If not, his uncle wouldn't be acting this way.
Most importantly, he had just offended the other party, and now the other party had come directly to the mayor's residence.
Needless to say, it must be for his sake.
Now, he was truly in deep trouble.
“You little brat, come here!”
The mayor of Candlelight City had already spotted the thin Beast Master and shouted for him to come over.
In response, the thin Beast Master approached the mayor with a mournful expression.
“You little brat, how dare you take advantage of my name to cause trouble outside!”
“Today, I will teach you a good lesson on behalf of your mother!”
The mayor of Candlelight City pulled out a vine whip from who knows where and struck it hard against the thin Beast Master's back.
This was not a request from Bai Zi'an; it was the mayor's own decision to discipline the thin Beast Master.
This guy had actually used his name to cause trouble outside.
If it were someone else, he could still manage it.
But unexpectedly, this little brat had even bullied Bai Zi'an.
Was he someone he could bully?
It should be noted that Bai Zi'an was the grandson of Bai Jingchong, the Diamond Beast Master and the lord of Bai Lin City.
As a small city subordinate to Bai Lin City, Candlelight City's existence relied heavily on Bai Lin City.
If Bai Jingchong were to become displeased, Candlelight City would be in for a rough time.
Moreover, this incident was not Bai Zi'an looking for trouble; it was the thin Beast Master who had sought it out.
Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Thinking of this, the mayor of Candlelight City became even angrier.
Thus, he struck harder with the whip.
In an instant, the sounds of wailing and howling filled the air!
In response, Bai Zi'an remained calm, showing no intention of speaking up.
After a while, the mayor finally stopped and pulled out a broken golden crystal core from the thin Beast Master.
“Young Master Bai, is this the one?”
The mayor of Candlelight City respectfully presented the broken crystal core to Bai Zi'an.
“Indeed.”
Bai Zi'an nodded slightly, then looked at the thin Beast Master lying on the ground.
“I told you, you would obediently come to me.”
Bai Zi'an said lightly, directly putting away the broken crystal core.
Originally, he had planned to buy it, but now he didn't even need to spend any money.
“Take care of yourself.”
Bai Zi'an stood up, preparing to leave the mayor's residence.
He had come to the mayor's residence specifically for this broken crystal core and to teach the thin Beast Master a lesson.
With the task accomplished, it was naturally time to leave.
“Young Master Bai, let me see you off.”
“By the way, Young Master Bai, that little brat is just ignorant. I will definitely discipline him well. Please don't be angry...”
The mayor of Candlelight City hurriedly said, even offering a backpack.
Through the gap, Bai Zi'an could vaguely see some crystal cores and spirit beast materials inside the backpack.
Clearly, this was the mayor's compensation for him.
He hoped that Bai Zi'an would not hold a grudge against him or Candlelight City.
In response, Bai Zi'an was not polite and accepted it directly.
After all, he had come to the mayor's residence to throw a tantrum.
Receiving some compensation was nothing to him.
Before long, Bai Zi'an slowly left the mayor's residence under the mayor's respectful send-off.
It was only after Bai Zi'an had completely left that the mayor returned to the hall.
At this time, the thin Beast Master was still lying on the ground, crying out in pain.
After all, that whipping had truly hurt.
“Usually, I should have spoiled you, which is why you got into this mess.”
“This time, you need to learn your lesson.”
The mayor of Candlelight City snorted coldly.
“Uncle, who exactly is that guy?”
The thin Beast Master cried out in pain, unable to help but ask.
“Let me tell you, don't even think about revenge; that's someone you can't afford to offend.”
“If you dare to have any thoughts of revenge, I'll directly cripple you.”
Hearing the thin Beast Master inquire about Bai Zi'an's identity, the mayor's expression changed slightly, fearing that his nephew still wanted to take revenge on Bai Zi'an.
If that were the case, it would truly be disastrous.
No, he absolutely could not let it continue like this.
If this went on, something big would eventually happen.
“You little brat, once you're healed, get your butt to the military camp for training.”
“Without my permission, you are absolutely not allowed to step out of the military camp.”
The mayor of Candlelight City thought for a moment and directly told the thin Beast Master.
The thin Beast Master's face changed dramatically!
The military camp was not a place for people to stay.
With his frail body, he couldn't withstand the training in the military camp.
He hadn't expected that asking one question would lead to such a result.
This made him feel very regretful, repeatedly pleading with his uncle, hoping he could change his mind.
However, the mayor of Candlelight City was very firm in his attitude.
From then on, there was a new recruit suffering in the military camp of Candlelight City.
