Chapter Thirteen: In the Curtain Mountains
"Mrs. Zhao misunderstood." Li Pingping smiled and said, "I came to ask the housekeeper how he made the decision about the previous matter - if the housekeeper stays, I am willing to treat him as the city lord's palace offering wine."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyan and Guan Ping both looked moved.
The so-called sacrificial wine refers to the chief in all aspects.
The sacrificial wine in the city lord's mansion is the chief among the city lord's many staff and guest ministers. His status can be said to be second only to the city lord himself.
Although Li Pingping had said before that she wanted Guan Ping to stay and help, both Zhao Hongyan and Guan Ping thought it was just Li Pingping's perfunctory words. If Guan Ping really agreed, he would probably only get an insignificant position.
Be idle.
Who would have thought that Li Pingping would actually offer a place to offer wine in the City Lord's Mansion!
Guan Ping came back to his senses and saw that Li Pingping's expression was sincere and did not look like a joke. He also thought that if the housekeeper left Pingquan City, he would become a rootless duckweed and he didn't know what would happen to him. He felt that this opportunity could not be missed.
So he immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Hongyan and said, "Mom, let's stay."
Although Zhao Hongyan disliked Li Pingping no matter how he looked at her, he also knew that it would be a better choice for the housekeeper to stay.
But she couldn't give in to Li Pingping and others in person.
So she knocked her cane and said: "You are the head of the family, you can do whatever you like, I have no control over you!"
After saying that, he left quickly, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.
Guan Ping heard immediately that Zhao Hongyan agreed, so he first winked at his two younger brothers and asked them to chase Zhao Hongyan, and then solemnly saluted Li Pingping with fists in his hands and said: "Guan Ping sees the city lord!"
Now there are more than a thousand pairs of eyes looking at Guan Ping. In the public, he salutes Li Pingping so solemnly and calls the city lord directly. It is obvious that he recognizes Li Pingping as his lord.
Li Pingping knew that Guan Ping's public obeisance would bring greater benefits to her in governing Xicheng than Guan Ping's own talent. She couldn't help but smile brightly, supported Guan Ping and said, "Mr. Guan, you don't have to."
Duo Li. It just so happens that I have something to ask, why don't Mr. Guan just follow me to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"yes."
Guan Ping responded respectfully and followed Li Pingping into the city lord's mansion.
Seeing this scene, the people around him almost breathed a sigh of relief, because this can be said to be the ending they most wanted to see.
Zhang Ran was secretly relieved when he saw this scene, but at the same time he felt a little lonely.
Because he knew that from then on, Xicheng would really fall into the hands of "Shuiyue Dongtian".
···
When the six cities of Songcheng, Danling, Baizhang, Huojing, Xicheng and Pingquan were officially handed over to the disciples of "Shuiyuedongtian" after the disciples of Lingchi Sect announced, Li Fengqiu and Wu Yue were asking Su Yan
Report the process of accepting Lingchi as a tributary.
In order to increase the concealment of the Tongtian Formation, Su Yan chose the Mulan Mountain at the junction of Lingchi and Longjiang for the sect's foothold in the spiritual world.
Mulan Mountain is the largest mountain in the Mulan Mountains, with an area of more than 100 miles and more than 70 peaks of different sizes.
Because the Mulan Mountains have a high terrain and the broad and powerful Longjiang River flows through them on one side, most places are shrouded in mist all year round. As a result, miasma breeds and ferocious beasts roam rampant, which is rare in Xichuan.
An inaccessible place.
A few months ago, after Su Yan brought Li Fengqiu, Wu Yue, and Ultan to this place, he opened up a wide cave inside the main peak of Mulan Mountain and built a small sky-reaching formation.
Immediately, he first went to Zhuoguang Island to prepare Su Yi, Fu Xuan and others to move here, and then opened the Tongtian Formation again to let those who needed to come over at once.
Now, many disciples have built enough stone houses and wooden houses on the main peak of Mulan Mountain, basically solving the accommodation problem.
Of course, at this time, the nameless main peak of Mulan Mountain also had a name, and that was "Wuji Peak".
For Wuji Dao, in addition to housing, the remaining things to be built are the medicine garden, the alchemy room, the Tianxin Tower, and the Demon Sealing Tower.
If we only had hundreds of disciples of Wuji Dao, it would naturally take a long time to build these.
Fortunately, Fu Xuan and others had already made plans and brought more than a hundred "handy men" from Zhuoguang Island.
These people were originally the craftsmen who built the Tongtian Formation on Zhuoguang Island, and more than half of them participated in the construction of the Wuji Taoist temple on Tianyu Mountain.
These people are capable and experienced, and with the help of disciples from Wuji Dao's outer courtyard and inner courtyard, it should not take long to build major functional buildings such as the medicine garden, the alchemy room, and the Tianxin Tower.
Under such circumstances, Su Yan was completely relieved that the construction of the sect was left to Fu Xuan and others, so he arranged for the main combat forces of the sect and a group of virtual realm disciples to take over the six cities under the jurisdiction of the Lingchi Sect.
··
Sitting cross-legged in the small cave opened in the big cave where the small Tongtian Formation is located, Su Yan nodded slightly to express his satisfaction after listening to Li Fengqiu explain the process of conquering the Lingchi Sect.
Then he said: "The city lords of the six cities have all been replaced. Such a major event must not be hidden from Xuanhuang Sect and Lingjian Pavilion.
These two sects are not as slow and conservative as the Lingchi sect, and they will definitely take action on this matter next, so that the disciples who have been training in the six cities will be more vigilant."
"Disciple understands." Li Fengqiu nodded in agreement.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go down and do your work."
"yes."
Li Fengqiu left in response, and Wu Yue also left, but did not go far. Instead, he practiced cross-legged in another small cave opened near Su Yan.
She went out with Li Fengqiu this time mainly because she didn't have enough magical power. Now that the matter has come to an end, she naturally has nothing to do.
As a junior uncle with a very high seniority in the sect, Wu Yue has always felt that it was embarrassing not to be able to catch up with the "juniors" in cultivation, so he practiced whenever he had time and held on to it very closely.
On the other side, Su Yan looked at the "simulator".
Because just when Li Fengqiu reported to him, a new prompt message appeared on the information prompt bar——
"Wuji Dao successfully accepted Lingchi Pai as a subsidiary and received a reward of 3000 achievement points!"
He looked at the upper right corner of the simulator and saw that the sect's achievement value had indeed changed from 116,200 points to 119,200 points.
Although 3,000 achievement points were not much for the current Su Yan, it still made him happy because he felt that he might have found a new income point for the sect's achievement points.
‘I don’t know if it’s the first time I receive a reward from an affiliated sect, or if it happens every time. If it happens every time, I’ll have to be more active in recruiting affiliated sects in the future.’
After smiling in his heart, Su Yan checked the sect page again, mainly to check the number of disciples in the virtual realm.
In the past year or so, the number of Xujing disciples has increased from 75 to 80.
If we also count the 11 magical power realms, the 4 golden elixir realms and his Dharma phase realm, we are only 5 virtual realms short of the conditions for the sect to be promoted to eight stars.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to cultivate disciples in the virtual realm, especially when the Tianxin Tower has not yet been built.
Therefore, when Su Yan checked, he found that the number of disciples in the virtual realm had not increased, and was still 80.
Chapter completed!
