Seeing the few powerful people in the courtyard who were first-level immortals not reacting, I was beating a drum in my heart.
But soon I had an idea and said: "My Master Wang will come here to see me in a few days, but just like today, he will first put up a barrier so that only people in this courtyard can see it.
If his lineup is lucky, there might be some opportunities..."
As soon as I said this, a middle-aged man who was a first-level immortal walked out slowly and said: "I apply!"
I took a look at the middle-aged man. His actual age should be around five or six hundred years old.
I nodded to him and said, "Say your name!"
The middle-aged man said: "Lu Zheng!"
He spoke very little and did not want to say much else. I also said happily, you are admitted!
Of course, he has passed my intuition test, and my intuition tells me that he will not do anything harmful to me, but will follow me loyally.
Soon another one stood up. The man had a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheeks, and there was an air of violence all over his body. I could tell at a glance that he was stained with a lot of blood, and many innocent souls died under his hands. I don't like the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
person, so I said without even asking that person’s name: “Sorry, you are not suitable for our City Lord’s Mansion!”
When I said this, the monks present were stunned!
I went too far by allowing a first-level heavenly immortal to protect the academy. Now that a person with the strength of a first-level heavenly immortal actually applied for the job, and I refused, everyone found it even more unbelievable.
At the same time, my status as the guardian of the City Lord's Mansion can't help but be raised a lot, because not all first-level immortals can do it.
Soon, the only woman among the first-level immortals slowly raised herself up and said, "I also apply."
I have noticed her for a long time. She is the youngest among several first-level immortals. She is probably only over two hundred years old. Her appearance is well maintained and she looks like she is only in her early twenties.
Generally, female cultivators pay great attention to their appearance, and usually practice the beauty-preserving technique first to stay youthful forever.
The female cultivator's appearance was quite touching, and there was no aggression in her body. Soon I realized that she didn't seem to have fled to Wuwangsuin City because of a crime, but was a lady who wandered here!
Thinking of this, I asked: "Your name!"
The female cultivator said: "My name is Yinchen (chen), and I come from Luohe Mountain in the east of the human race."
I nodded and said: "You are also admitted!"
At this time, Nangong Fanxong whispered to me: "Luohe Mountain is one of the four butterflies of the Human Race's Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the territory of Qiudie and Lu Jingxuan. I think that Yinchen may have some connection with Qiudie!"
After hearing what Nangong Fan said, I immediately had this intuition, but my intuition told me that Yin Chen would not do anything detrimental to me.
So after some low-pitched exchanges with Nangong Fan, I said: "Since she took the initiative to say that she is from Luohe Mountain, she probably has no intention of hiding it from us, so we should agree to her joining!"
After that, I said to Yin Chen: "You are also admitted!"
The next few first-level Celestial Immortal cultivators were probably used to being idle and did not want to be controlled, so they turned around and left. The first-level Celestial Immortal cultivator who was full of hostility just now said "hum" to me.
: "I'm not even willing to be a city lord in this wretched place, let alone a guardian!"
After saying that, the monk turned around and left quickly. He ran so fast probably because he was afraid that I would blame him for those words. It looked like he would never return to Wuwangsui City again. That was fine, with that kind of murderous aura
Those who reach the sky and murderers are indispensable in Wuwangsin City.
Those first-level immortals have dispersed, and so have the other monks.
Only Xianqing, Nanli and Aguye stayed here with some people. The three of them waited for everyone else to leave. After making sure that there was no disturbance here, they came over to say goodbye to me.
After everyone left, I said to Lu Zheng and Yin Chen: "This City Lord's Mansion is very big. Except for the rooms for a few of us, you can choose the other rooms at will. You can live in the one you want to live in. In addition, you can recruit some more."
The people who cook and clean are here. You don’t have to do anything at ordinary times, just practice with peace of mind. If you have any problems, you can come to me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you with all my strength."
"By the way, having said all that, I haven't talked about your remuneration yet. If I give you talisman jade, you will definitely not care about it. I wonder if you two have any special requirements?"
Lu Zheng said: "I don't have any requirements. This city lord's mansion has enough spiritual power. It's good to be able to practice here!"
Yin Chen hesitated and said, "I don't have any special request, I just have a small favor that I need City Master Chen to help me with!"
I asked what was going on.
Yin Chen said: "I ran away from Luohe Mountain. In about half a month, two powerful people of the second level of heavenly immortals will come to capture me and take me back. I hope City Lord Chen can help me then."
I smiled and said, "That's easy to say. In this ideal country, the city lord should protect his subjects. Since you have come to this innocent city, I will not allow outsiders to capture you!"
Yin Chen raised his hands to me and said, "Then I have no other requirements."
Nangong Fancong added next to her: "Who are you Qiudie Lu Jingxuan?"
Yinchen said: "Qiudie is my adoptive mother, and I am her adopted daughter, but I didn't want to do some of the things she asked me to do, so I escaped. I won't want to go back in a short time!"
I nodded, Yin Chen was being honest, and I didn't ask any further questions. I had issues with Qiu Die's men when I was in the lower world. Will Qiu Die be blamed for Yin Chen's incident this time?
Does Butterfly hate me even more?
When I was thinking this, Na Yinchen was not polite and went directly to find his own room.
Lu Zhengze raised his hands to me and asked me if I had any other arrangements.
I shook my head and said, "No, Fellow Daoist Lu can go and rest!"
Lu Zheng then left.
Watching the two people leave, Hu Jiashu said: "You have recruited two first-level immortal guardians. How can I be an official? I can't command them."
I said: "You not only have to command, but you must command and move. You are someone I trust. If we want to gain a foothold here, it is necessary to have the power here. I will tell them our mutual rights tomorrow."
If they are not convinced, I will fire them immediately!"
Hu Jiashu smiled and said: "Everything is up to you!"
After Hu Jiashu and Chai Min also left, Nangong Fanfang took me a few steps to the side courtyard and said, "Honestly, are you interested in that Yin Chen?"
I was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and said, "Don't be kidding, she is over two hundred years old, older than my great-grandmother, and to fall in love with her, I'm crazy!"
Nangong Fancong also smiled and said: "It seems that your concept has not changed yet. From the monk's point of view, the gap of two hundred years is actually not much. If you like it, I can go and give it to you."
Let me introduce you."
I said: "Okay!"
Nangong Fanxong immediately changed his face and said: "Get out!"
The two of us were just bickering. After a few words, we looked at each other, smiled and became quiet again. There was already a certain tacit understanding between Nangong Fancong and I. This tacit understanding made me afraid and reluctant to let go.
I suddenly felt that I was going further and further down the road of being a "scumbag" man.
Forget it, I'd better try to control my feelings for Nangong.
Nangong Fanxong probably knew what I was thinking, so he stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the horizon and said, "It will get dark soon, and it will be another dark night. I don't know how many more nights like this we can spend together."
I still didn't say anything, and Nangong Fanzong said: "Okay, I'm leaving. You should practice well and practice the skills that Shengzun Wang entrusted to you. You still have to save Mai Xiaorou. Don't worry, I
I will try my best to help you, and after you rescue Mai Xiaorou, I will take the initiative to leave you and will not make it difficult for you. I will be satisfied if I can accompany you through this period of time before you rescue Mai Xiaorou!"
Hearing Nangong Fanxong suddenly say this, I suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
Just as I was about to say something else, Nangong Fanxi turned around and left. As she walked away, she said, "I don't regret it!"
After that, Nangong Fancong quickly disappeared from my sight, leaving me standing there blankly.
I know that every time we talk about this issue, Nangong Fancong hopes that I can make some changes in my attitude towards her, instead of silently choosing to side with Mai Xiaorou like today, but every time I
will disappoint her.
But despite this, Mai Xiaorou still said those three words - "no regrets."
Suddenly I felt a little unworthy of Nangong Fan.
While I was thinking about this, the remnant soul of the Snake King said in my consciousness: "Only Nangong girl knows whether it's worth it. You have no right to make a judgment. It's you, Chen Yu. With all due respect, Xiaorou is not suitable for you. Although
My relationship with the Mai family is very good, but I still have to say this!"
I said: "Anyway, let's wait until I rescue Xiaorou. By the way, you just said that you are very close to the Mai family. Did you recall something again?"
The remnant soul of the Snake King said: "It's just intermittent fragments. It's hard to tell you now. I'll tell you when I can fully recall it!"
I nodded.
Next, I didn't think about those things anymore, but started to practice the Tao formation that Master Wang gave me, as well as the formation and magical power of the Divine Fire Technique.
A Tao formation, a formation. To put it bluntly, this is not a Tao technique at all, but it is training my understanding and control of Tao formations and formations.
As for whether I can do what Master Wang said, counting formations in one second and counting moves in one burst, I'm not sure yet.
However, I must try my best to complete the practice within half a month, because in half a month Qiudie will have two of his men coming to arrest Yin Chen, and I have to praise Haikou to help her resist them!
Otherwise, my reputation as a city lord will be ruined! (To be continued)
