"Husband, prove that you can do it. It's time to show your true qualities as a man."
Seeing Mu Ziling coming again, Yan Xi teased again.
"Haha, I'm just kidding, madam, I'm kidding."
While responding to Yan Xi, Bai Yan walked to the door and looked at Mu Ziling doubtfully.
"What's the business?"
Although this girl is extremely tough, if something happens, it will definitely happen.
"It was Dean Palace who asked me to come to you. Let's go and talk as we go. It's an important matter for our Qingshan City."
Bai Yan was doubtful, so he took Gungun and followed Mu Ziling out of the stove room.
...
At this time, the largest square in Qingshan City was already crowded with people.
Whether they are warriors or ordinary merchants in the city, they all gather here.
What to do? Choose a new city leader!
There are generally two situations where the city lords of small cities like Qingshan City come from.
One is to be appointed by Dongling County, which has the direct power to control it. Just like yesterday when Zhou Yuan asked Ximen Gui to be the city lord, no one dared to object.
The second situation is that there is an election by the people in the city.
In the past, Qingshan City was high and far away from the emperor, and Dongling County, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the city, basically did not care about it, so the city lord was basically chosen by the people.
Today, we will also choose a new city lord through this method.
"That's a good thing. Qingshan City is in dire straits and is waiting to be revitalized. It really needs a good city lord to lead the restoration."
Along the way, Bai Yan had already listened to Mu Ziling's brief introduction to the situation.
Mu Ziling smiled again: "Aren't you curious about the candidates?"
"Which ones?" Bai Yan asked.
"Only two people..."
Mu Ziling hesitated for a moment, then said: "One is Senior Sister Xu Qianqian, and the other is you, Bai Yan!"
"Hehe, are you surprised or surprised?"
Bai Yan was stunned, then looked at her and said, "Are you kidding?"
Mu Ziling nodded, "This is all decided by the Palace Chief, and most of the people in the city know about it, but your voice doesn't seem to be very loud."
"Isn't this a joke?"
Bai Yan said this and turned around to leave.
He will be leaving in a few days, and it is impossible for him to come and run for city lord.
"Hey, don't leave. Why don't you let me take you there for business?" Mu Ziling stopped her.
"White Flame."
At this time, Gong Jin and some senior officials from Qingshan Academy also walked towards them.
When Bai Yan saw Gong Jin, he smiled bitterly and said, "Dean Gong, aren't you kidding me?"
Gong Jin also smiled and said: "I know you are leaving Qingshan City. This place is indeed too small for you to fully display your talents."
"Then you still..." Bai Yan asked puzzledly.
"In my mind, the only candidate for the city lord of Qingshan City is Qianqian. I only want to rope you in to prevent any accidents."
Gong Jin added: "There are many people in Qingshan City who are obsessed with this position, such as the Lin family, the Li family, etc., but once they take that position, these people will easily become the second Ximen family.
In the past, the city leader could not be decided by default, so there must be someone to run against Qianqian. Your seniority and contribution to this disaster are sufficient.
And I don’t want that person to be anyone else, do you understand?”
"I understand." Bai Yan nodded.
If it was just a formality, then he would have no problem.
"Okay, let's go there, everyone is basically ready."
After saying that, several people headed towards the center of the square.
Gong Jinnai is the chief dean of Qingshan College and currently the only Lingtai realm powerhouse in Qingshan City, with sufficient prestige.
She takes charge of everything and no one can say anything.
At this time, Xu Qianqian also helped Xu Jue, who had regained consciousness, to the square.
As another client, she seemed not to understand that she had been appointed.
"City Lord Xu, you're awake, are you feeling better?"
Bai Yan walked over to say hello.
Although he had not had much contact with him before, Bai Yan respected Xu Jue very much, not only because he was a good city lord, but also because he was the father of his second senior brother Xu Sanjin.
"It's no longer a problem."
Xu Jue smiled at Bai Yan. Although he looked much older, there was no trace of decadence on his body.
Then he solemnly bowed to Bai Yan: "Xu Jue thanks Bai Xiaoyou for saving his life."
Bai Yan turned his body slightly to one side and supported Xu Jue.
"Uncle Xu, there is no need to worry. Second senior brother is not here. This is Bai Yan's responsibility."
When Bai Yan mentioned Xu Sanjin, Xu Jue looked slightly sad.
But then he smiled and said, "I feel so relieved to have a good brother like you in Sanjin."
"Uncle Xu, actually the second senior brother has his own reasons." Bai Yan wanted to help the second senior brother explain, but he didn't know where to start.
Things about the Star Reaching Mansion cannot be leaked.
Xu Jue nodded and sighed: "I know, I know he has his own mission, and I have never blamed him."
After saying this, he took Bai Yan's hand and said, "If he is still alive, if you can see him, tell him that he will always be my son, Xu Jue."
"good."
Bai Yan could see Xu Jue's sadness, but didn't know how to comfort him.
Xu Jue looked at Bai Yan gratefully and said, "Let's watch the election ceremony together. Xu wants to see who will take over my class. Not everyone in my class is qualified."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "She will definitely be qualified."
"I believe you all know why we have gathered here. Qingshan City is in ruins and is waiting to be revitalized. We cannot live without a city lord for a day.
In view of the special situation this time, everything has been simplified and everyone knows about the two candidates."
Gong Jin stood in the center of the square, his voice carried far away by the spiritual power.
Then she looked at Bai Yan and the others: "Everything is ready, come here."
Bai Yan looked at Xu Qianqian and his daughter who were confused and said with a smile: "Sister Xu, let's go. Yes, we are the candidates."
Xu Qianqian was still looking confused when Bai Yan grabbed her sleeves and pulled her down to the center of the square.
"Miss Xu!"
"Miss Xu!"
"..."
As soon as she appeared in the square, cheers erupted like a roaring tsunami.
"I...you...what's going on?" Xu Qianqian looked at Bai Yan in shock.
Gong Jin continued: "Now, as I said before, those who choose Xu Qianqian as the new city lord will hold up the blue cloth strips in your hands, and those who choose Bai Yan will hold up your yellow cloth strips."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Gong Jin finished speaking, the whole place turned blue.
Only Mu Ziling and a few other loyal fans of Bai Yan were smiling and shaking the yellow cloth strips in their hands.
"Wow, is it really shameless for me to blame someone?"
Bai Yan looked at the almost one-sided support rate and said with a smile.
"City Lord Xu!"
"City Lord Xu!"
"..."
Xu Qianqian hadn't fully figured out what was going on, and everyone's names for her had changed.
In fact, this is the people's recognition of Xu Qianqian, or even more, the people's recognition of the Xu family.
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Xu for inheriting her father's legacy." Bai Yan smiled again.
"A little girl who is still young dares to inherit the position of Lord of Qingshan City. If Qingshan City cannot choose a better Lord of City, then Wu should be the one."
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came to mind outside the court.
