"Junior sister Tang, he didn't embarrass you, did he?" Ji Chongguang saw Chu Tianshu walking in the direction Tang Yue left. Thinking of the competitive relationship between the two, he was worried that Tang Yue would be embarrassment, so he also chased him out.
"It's okay, he won't attack me in the City Lord's Mansion."
"That's good."
Tang Yue saw that Ji Chongguang had no intention of saying goodbye, so he took the initiative and said, "Brother Ji, let me take you around for a walk."
Ji Chongguang stayed for a short time and was about to leave late at night. Other friends would stay for a day or two, and they would rest in the guest room after the banquet.
There is still a little time, so it is time to entertain the Young Palace Master of Shangqing Palace.
The night market in Kunwu City is not as big as Wuji Mountain. There is only one long street, but it has a unique style. Lights made of luminous fluorite are hung in the sky. The lights are constantly changing, adding a romantic atmosphere to the whole street. There are many couples.
Meet here.
There are also large and small red lanterns hanging on the streets, which are distributed free of charge to people in the city. People choose a red lantern to go home, celebrating the good luck and celebrating the New Year.
"Senior brother, the lighting and lanterns here were customized by me from the Tiangong Refining Pavilion. What do you think?"
"It's very beautiful. The material seems not expensive, but the effect is very good. It attracts many people to the night market and brings a lot of income to the store."
"You also said that I don't know what will happen in the future. Now that I am a Nascent Soul, I have a Heavenly Rank and Five Elements Spiritual Roots, so I will definitely not be as good as Chu Tianshu."
Tang Wenhua paused for a moment. Can he let others know that he actually wanted Chu Tianshu to marry him?
"Chu Tianshu has superb swordsmanship. He is a genius rarely seen in a century. His luck is astonishing. Only if he is the heir can we ensure the prosperity of Kunwu City for thousands of years."
"Junior sister, it is not easy for you to succeed as Young City Lord. If you have any difficulties, please come to me."
Now the city lord of Huayue City and the leader of Xianyuan Mountain is a woman. If word spreads that Tang Wenhua looks down on women, these people will be offended. The cold treatment is a trivial matter, and he may even be secretly retaliated against.
"Father, I think what you said is wrong."
Shui Yingrou helped: "Indeed, the top-grade spiritual stone donated by A Yue has built many houses for the ascetic cultivators and poor people in the city to live in, which has alleviated the temporary hardship. Now everyone in the city is full of praise. I
I believe she can do it.”
"Father, what are you talking about? I am the legitimate daughter of the city lord's wife, and I am the legal heir of Kunwu City."
Senior Brother Ji asked seriously: "Which city lord has done something similar, or have you seen it somewhere?"
"You just got lucky for a while. In the past, your spiritual roots were only low-grade third-grade spiritual roots, so I never thought about such a thing. Chongyun is too young and doesn't know what the future will hold."
"Father, I am not afraid of hard work. During these years of studying in Wuji Mountain, I have learned that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I am willing to shoulder the trust of the people, focus on the development plan, and be a young city leader who is supported by the people."
When Shui Yingrou heard this, she almost spit out the tea. Ah Yue was so good at saying that this kind of scene was what Tang Wenhua had in mind, but the person who made the decision was replaced by another person, so I don't know how he would feel.
"There have been countless female leaders, female leaders, and female city lords in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years. They have all made great contributions to their sects. Father, you actually look down on this female cultivator in the world?"
Tang Wenhua said coldly: "What's wrong?" He was repeatedly refuted by Tang Yue. He felt that the majesty of his father and the city lord had been offended, and he felt a little annoyed.
"Well, I forgot, I just remember someone did this."
"There are people on this street helping to watch. Like me, they hope that everyone in the city can get a lantern to share the joy. They look down on those who want more and will stand up and reprimand these people.
, to prevent them from taking advantage. And few people would do such unlucky things during the New Year."
At this time, I was suddenly reminded that my youngest daughter had become an equally outstanding monk who could be compared with the proud disciples of various sects. I was still a little uncomfortable with it.
"Father, I really don't understand. I'm not without strength. Why do you have to give our family property to an outsider? His surname is not Tang?"
"I see that you are determined to marry Sister Tang Wan to Senior Brother Chu. With this relationship, I believe that he will definitely teach the amazing successor of Kunwu's swordsmanship in the future, as well as his junior brother Mu Chongyun, and we will definitely
In the future, we will stand side by side, hold hands, think in one place, work hard in one place, and forge ahead for the prosperity of Kunwu City, through fire and water!"
"That's not what I meant. Don't talk nonsense. I just don't want you to work too hard."
Tang Wenhua really couldn't accept it, "You are a woman. It may be a bit hard to take on this important responsibility. It would be better to be the mistress of a rich family."
"Kunwu City has never stipulated which way the city lord must practice. What matters is the successor's governance ability and whether he can carry forward Kunwu's inheritance. Even Xuanyuan Mountain has produced the first person who does not practice swordsmanship. Kunwu City
Why not? Besides, I believe that Senior Brother Chu will definitely think about the inheritance of Kunwu City. With him as the inheritance elder, what do you have to worry about?"
Tang Wenhua was a little surprised that she could say these words so calmly. At this moment, he looked at his second daughter again.
"What you said at the banquet was true. Do you have any plans for the position of City Lord?"
Ji Chongguang always felt that Junior Sister Tang knew a lot of things that others didn't know, but he never thought that Tang Yue was a soul from another world. He only thought that she had seen it from some mysterious inheritance or the fate of the heavenly palace.
After a moment of silence, Tang Wenhua said: "Even if your cultivation level is higher and you have received the initiation of swordsmanship, you are still not as talented as him in swordsmanship. What's more, you don't have a firm intention to practice swordsmanship. Kunwu City is a sword city, why?"
Can there be a city lord who doesn’t practice swordsmanship?”
The words "living and working in peace and contentment" flashed through Ji Chongguang's mind, "If you can benefit the people, you are indeed very suitable to be the Young City Lord."
Speaking of this matter, Tang Yue's conditions are good now. It is not difficult to marry into a rich family. If she works harder and can win over Lu Lingyi and Ji Chongguang, it will be even better.
Tang Yue's words were based on Tang Wenhua's logic. If she was not given any benefits and she was still asked to contribute to Kunwu City, then Chu Tianshu could do the same, and she believed that she was much more generous than Tang Wenhua and would not really deny it.
Benefits.
After sending Ji Chongguang away, Tang Yue returned to his home, and as expected, the Lord of Tang City was waiting for her at Ruoshui Residence.
These words made Tang Wenhua a little confused, because he had always regarded Tang Yue as a burden, and it would be good if she could be married off in exchange for benefits. He never thought that one day she would be better than the Chu Tianshu he chose, and the prejudice in his heart
Didn't adjust for a while.
"Father, I don't like to hear what you are saying. I am a twelve-year-old Nascent Soul that is rare to see in a thousand years, and my junior brother is a sword bone that is only one in ten thousand. So how can Chu Tianshu be better than us?"
This statement is a bit too harsh. Although the world of immortal cultivators still has the bad habit of looking down on women, thanks to the efforts of countless powerful female cultivators, people in the world dare not speak out even if they have this idea.
"As expected of Senior Brother Ji, this is my intention. I hope the people in the city can make more money and have a good New Year."
"Haha, I'm just picking on people's wisdom." These strategies are often used in modern municipal engineering. She sees them every day, so it's not difficult to learn some.
"You know that I intend to cultivate Chu Tianshu as his successor."
Ji Chongguang found that people could take away the lanterns on both sides of the street at will, and there were still people who were responsible for constantly hanging up the lanterns in their hearts, and asked: "How do you ensure that no one takes too many of these lanterns?"
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother." With the support of the Young Palace Master of Shangqing Palace, she felt more confident.
When Tang Wenhua heard that his youngest daughter was already building a good reputation among the people, he became more vigilant. He looked at Shui Yingrou and asked, "Are you supporting her and going against me?"
Shui Yingrou said calmly: "Why can't I support my daughter? Why can't you support your daughter?"
The reason why Tang Wenhua insists on choosing Chu Tianshu is that everyone knows that if Tang Yue becomes the city lord, Kunwu City will be closer to Wuji Mountain and will most likely become a subordinate city of Wuji Mountain in the future.
This is also the reason why Tang Wenhua has deliberately suppressed Shui Yingrou and supported Zixiaoge and Chu Tianshu, the heirs with foreign surnames, over the years.
He never thought that Tang Yue would be able to fight now. After the news spread, Wuji Mountain would definitely support Tang Yue, but Chu Tianshu did not have strong backup, and the situation would develop in the direction he least wanted.
