Chapter 979: The Selection of the City Lord’s Mansion Begins
For example, today, the father and daughter were lucky enough to meet Su Chen and the others. If they had not met, under the watchful eyes of those people, it would be difficult to predict what the outcome would be for the father and daughter.
This sinful place may be a paradise of experience for some people. But for Pei Qian, a father with a daughter as beautiful as a flower, it is undoubtedly an extremely unfriendly place.
"My benefactor, then you came to the sinful place to experience?"
Pei Qian changed the topic and asked.
In fact, judging from the appearance of Su Chen and his party, no one would believe them if they said they were prisoners.
"It's true that I'm here to practice."
Su Chen nodded.
"Tomorrow the Chishui City Lord's Mansion will openly select talents. This opportunity must not be missed. I heard that if you are lucky, you will get the opportunity to explore the secrets of Emperor Wu's Cave."
Pei Qian also temporarily forgot his troubles and enthusiastically proposed to Su Chen.
"We've already signed up."
Su Chen also smiled lightly.
"Then, tomorrow I will take my daughter to cheer for my benefactor."
Pei Qian said sincerely.
Pei Yingying was also beside her, and she suddenly interjected in a soft voice: "Well, my benefactor, you are a good person, but my father said that there are many bad people in the sinful land. You must be careful at all times."
"I see."
Su Chen smiled.
"My dear friend, we, father and daughter, don't want to disturb you any more, so we are leaving now."
Pei Qian obviously also knew that since Su Chen and the others signed up for tomorrow's talent selection at the City Lord's Mansion, they should have a good rest tonight.
"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will ask for advice again. I, Pei Qian, will definitely remember the life-saving grace I gave you today."
Pei Qian said, bowed deeply, and left with Pei Yingying.
After the Pei family father and daughter left, Gu Qianxue muttered softly: "Oh, how pitiful."
"Yes, I can't leave the place of sin for the rest of my life, I can only stay here forever."
Li Shitong also said thoughtfully, and then looked at Su Chen with a pair of beautiful eyes uncertainly, "Su Chen, there is really nothing we can do to make the father and daughter leave here?"
Su Chen has actually thought about this question, but he doesn't have an answer yet, and it seems that it is not easy to remove the prisoner mark on his arm.
However, although Su Chen had nothing to do at the moment, he still kept the matter in his heart.
He is not a holy mother, nor does he have a lot of kindness. He just feels that Pei Yingying's simplicity and innocence are really touching, because a person who grew up in an environment like a sinful land can still maintain such simplicity and innocence.
One thing that can be explained is that her father did protect her very well.
Su Chen was really touched by being able to see such fatherly love in a place like the Land of Sin.
In the future, if there is a chance to help, he also hopes to help the two father and daughter escape from the sea of misery completely.
…
Early the next morning, Su Chen and his party walked out of Wanjing Tower and headed to the City Lord's Mansion Square to participate in the City Lord's Mansion genius selection.
Because it was the day of the City Lord's Mansion's talent selection, early in the morning, the roads near the City Lord's Mansion were jammed with people heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Fortunately, the Wanjing Building where we live is close to the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise we would have been stuck in traffic for a long time just on the road."
Gu Qianyin also sighed while looking at the surging flow of people.
Following the flow of people, the group soon arrived at the square in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
This square is an extremely open area. At this moment, it is already crowded with people who came to participate in the selection. At the same time, there are even more people who have heard about it and come to watch the excitement.
"The Chishui City Lord's Mansion selects talents. This is a rare opportunity. To be honest, if it weren't for people under the age of twenty-five, I would have wanted to participate."
"Who says otherwise? If you can become a member of the City Lord's Mansion, you will be able to reach the sky in one step and enjoy the best resources of Chishui City. It is enviable just thinking about it."
"The most enviable thing is the competition in a month's time. If you win, you will be qualified to enter the ruins of Emperor Wu's cave to explore the secrets. That is an opportunity that you can't even ask for."
Su Chen stood among the crowd and heard similar comments everywhere.
Su Chen himself, on the other hand, was calm and unaffected by this fanatical atmosphere. Instead, he followed his own pace and remained very calm, completely turning a blind eye to the fanatical atmosphere around him.
In the square, there were densely armored guards of the city lord's palace, looking very strict and maintaining order on the scene.
When the sky was completely bright, the Lord of Chishui City, surrounded by his staff, appeared in the square.
"It's the city lord!"
"The Lord of the City is here!"
As soon as the Chishui City Lord appeared, cheers and applause erupted from the scene. Countless eyes filled with awe looked at the City Lord who was surrounded by people from afar.
Su Chen also looked at the Lord of Chishui City from a distance. He could only see that the Lord of Chishui City was covered with a vague layer of mist. As for his cultivation level, he could not see through it.
Su Chen knew that this was because the other party's cultivation was much stronger than his own.
"The city lord usually doesn't appear in public easily, but he is here today, which shows that he attaches great importance to this talent selection."
"It is our honor to be able to see the face of the city lord."
"Lord City Lord, Lord City Lord!"
The cheers rose higher and higher, reaching into the sky.
The Lord of Chishui City had a faint smile on his face and waved his hand at the crowd.
"I don't know what the background of the city lords in this sinful place is?"
Su Chen suddenly had such doubts.
Being able to be the lord of a city in a place like the Sinful Land must be impossible without extraordinary strength and skill, right?
However, it was obvious that he could not get the answer to this question now. Su Chen put back his thoughts and quietly looked at the Lord of Chishui City who walked to the high platform.
"Everyone, welcome to our talent selection today."
The Lord of Chishui City pressed his hand, and the volume at the scene suddenly dropped, but the eyes of countless people were still looking at the Lord of Chishui City with a sense of reverence.
"I believe many of you already know that our Chishui City City Lord's Mansion is holding a talent selection today for the competition with Baishi City in a month's time."
"However, what I want to say here is that the reason for reporting the talent selection is not just for the competition, but also to make our Chishui City stronger in the future!"
"Our Chishui City has been able to stand firm in the land of sin not because of the strength of this city lord alone, but because of the strength of all of you. It is your great assistance that made Chishui City what it is today."
