Although this statement has always been a subconscious guess among casual cultivators, most cultivators who enter Delu City will spend a few spiritual stones to buy peace of mind.
Ling Chen was contemplating whether he should go to Xiuling Valley to buy a place to live, when he followed a large group of monks moving forward into the Apocalypse Hall.
The reception hall of Tianqi Hall is a lobby of 100 square meters paved with white jade. In the lobby, on both sides of the large dragon pillars, there are more than a dozen exquisite jade sculptures of various sizes and bright candlelights.
It even shone so brightly that there was a long series of spiritual array patterns on the floor, full of mystery and majesty.
On both sides of this bright and majestic lobby, two long flowerbeds are cut out of exquisite white jade, and patches of pine forest flowers and trees are planted, which is quite reminiscent of the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
When Ling Chen saw this scene, he immediately remembered Xiao Yu from Xuantian Peak. The residence of Xiao Yu, who was slightly unruly and tough, was also filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers...
What appeared in front of everyone was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow cloth shirt and with long sloping hair.
The man in yellow clothes was walking in the hall, as if he was thinking about something, and raised his head. The man in yellow clothes was startled by the large group of monks who suddenly poured into the hall in front of him, and looked at everyone with a puzzled face.
"Is this the city lord?" Ling Chen stood behind him and asked a young man behind the crowd in confusion.
The young man turned around and looked at Ling Chen's coarse linen clothes and said;
"Fellow Taoist Mingwei? This is your first time in Lucheng. The one standing above is Senior Li Kai, the Lord's friend and capable steward. He is a strong man in the mortal realm. He is trying his best to help Lord City Lord keep Lucheng in order."
"Oh, I'm Ling Chen, I don't know what to call my friend."
"Hey, my name is Tong San. Brother Ling is coming to Lucheng alone?"
"Um"
When Tong San heard this, he was not surprised. There were many people who came to Lucheng to hunt for treasures every day. However, the genius treasures in Lucheng were very precious. Generally, poor casual cultivators would not buy them because they wanted to go out and gain some experience.
After introducing Mingwei, Ling Chen also lost interest in communicating with the casual cultivator Tongsan again. His dark pupils kept looking at Butler Li Kai who was above the nine steps in the lobby.
Just after a few enthusiastic monks in the lobby reported what happened to the vendor and the Mai brothers and sisters, Li Kai raised his eyebrows. How could such a trivial matter come to the City Lord's Mansion? However, he glanced sideways at the large group of monks in the main hall.
Li Kaixin thought, but it was hard to express his dissatisfaction in front of a large group of monks.
"Is this what happened?" Li Kai stood above, hearing the slightly aggressive excuses of the vendors in the lobby, and looked at the man in linen and the petite woman with a serious look.
"No... that's not it? Senior Li, this vendor deliberately broke his inferior spirit-gathering liquid. I was wronged." The petite woman's face turned red with anxiety, and she was so angry at the vendor's accusations.
light.
"It's all up to Senior Li to make the decision. I hope my junior sister will be treated fairly." The man in linen clothes saluted Li Kai, who had a solemn face above the lobby, and said respectfully.
"Senior Li, we also beg Senior Li to make a fair judgment." The vendor also greeted the three friends beside him and saluted to the top of the lobby.
Everyone also looked at Li Kai above the lobby with an attitude of watching the excitement, but after entering this gorgeous lobby, the monks who had been talking so loudly fell silent, allowing Li Kai above to lower his head and ponder.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense as Li Kai frowned and thought deeply————————
The dark pupils were staring at Li Kai above the lobby, and his brows were furrowed. His resolute face concealed the weather of the years, as if he had something to worry about.
Gradually, the silent hall began to discuss again. The city lord was not here, and Li Kai's prestige was obviously not as high as the city lord.
"Everyone, please be patient." Li Kai, who was standing above the hall and had remained silent, suddenly said. His calm voice made the faces of the monks in the hall move. Suddenly, the entire hall was silent.
Ling Chen also looked at Li Kai with a serious face curiously, wanting to see how he would handle this matter.
"Well... fellow Taoists, can you step aside for a moment? I, Li, will handle this matter fairly and fairly. Please trust the City Lord's Mansion."
"Tap tap..."
When Li Kai finished saying this, two teams of strict black-armored guards immediately walked out of the dark lights on both sides of the lobby, surrounding the four vendors and the two men in linen clothes, with a serious look on their faces.
"Haha... I know what Senior Li is like. It's just that the City Lord has been kind to him recently. I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him so much..." Many monks saw that Li Kai had issued an order to expel guests. Of course, they couldn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion.
He refused to leave, so polite words were exchanged.
"The city lord has been in seclusion for a year and has not yet come out, so Li is in charge of everything in the city. I hope you can invite your relatives and friends to come and settle in Lucheng more often." Li Kai waved his hands and responded politely.
There are many monks in the lobby.
"Then Senior Li! I'll be leaving soon..."
"Well, if you have any good suggestions or dissatisfaction with Lucheng, you can put them forward to Li, and Li will accept them with an open mind." Li Kai cupped his hands and faced the dispersing crowd, and returned the greeting one by one.
The crowd quickly exited the hall, but there was still one person who did not leave the hall.
After everyone exited the hall, Li Kai turned around and was surprised to find the young man with a sword still standing silently on one side of the hall.
"Could it be that this fellow Taoist doesn't trust Li's character and wants to stay and personally supervise this matter?" After saying this in surprise, Li Kai squinted at the vendors in front of the hall.
Ling Chen stood there, smiling without saying a word, and his lips moved. He was actually communicating with Li Kai's spiritual consciousness above the hall in front of the strict black-armored guards in the hall. Under the astonished gazes of the petite women on the side, Ling Chen
.
……quite a while!
"Oh, since Fellow Daoist Ling has something to do, you might as well wait for a while. After the matter at hand is dealt with, Li will introduce it to you in detail." The invisible consciousness exchanged a few words, and Li Kai spoke softly, Ling in the lobby
Chen nodded, folded his arms, stood at the side of the lobby, and quietly looked at the vendors in front of him, with no expression on his calm face.
Li Kai turned around, walked down the stairs, came to the vendor and the petite woman, looked at the two groups of people arguing, and after a moment, shouted to the four vendors in a majestic voice;
"Are you and the other four guilty? You actually blackmailed a new monk who came to the city. Now, as the acting city lord, I order you four to apologize to this woman immediately."
At this time, the four young people headed by the hawker were frightened. Li Kai's shouts came into their ears. They were so frightened that the four of them staggered and knelt down on the ground in an extremely rude manner, looking frightened.
At this scene, even the man in linen clothes and the petite woman were stunned. They looked at Li Kai with an unbelievable expression.
Ling Chen looked at Li Kai calmly, wondering why he was so sure that it was the fault of the four hawkers?
"Senior Li, I know I was wrong. Please have a lot of money and bypass me...!" The four hawkers knelt on the ground and were frightened for a while. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.
He kowtowed to Li Kai with an expression of fear and uneasiness.
"Junior sister..." In the lobby, the man in linen clothes who was just about to defend himself looked at the confused junior sister aside. Regarding this scene, both of them were confused. They looked at the majestic Li Kai in front of them and didn't know how to speak.
It seemed that he was surprised by Li Kai's majestic aura or his fair judgment.
"I will apologize to these two fellow Taoists. If they can forgive you, I will no longer pursue this matter." Li Kai looked at the frightened four people on the ground expressionlessly and said slowly.
"Two fellow Taoists, it's our fault. We shouldn't have blackmailed you. Why don't you ask these two fellow Taoists to show your kindness and let us go?"
"Senior brother...this?" The petite woman looked at the four vendors with a surprised face as they kowtowed to her to apologize. This strong contrast made her feel a bit unreal.
The man in sackcloth came back to his senses, knelt down on one knee, saluted Li Kai, and said excitedly;
"Thank you, Senior Li, for upholding justice for us. These people are all handled by Senior Li, and we have absolutely no complaints."
No matter how stupid the man in sackcloth is at this moment, he knows that Senior Li Kai is looking towards them, and he keeps saying thank you.
As he spoke, the monk pulled down the dazed junior sister beside him and saluted Li Kai.
"You two don't have to be polite. Now that you have come to Lucheng, Li will not let these two fellow Taoists suffer any injustice. Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, can you two return to your residence first?" Li Kai stood up and cried with excitement.
The two people, with tears streaming down their faces, personally swept away the gray layer on the linen man's clothes, looking amiable and approachable.
"Well..." The man in linen clothes held the hand of the petite woman beside him, saluted Li Kai again, turned around and strode out of the hall.
On the way, when the two passed by Ling Chen, they looked at the mysterious sword-carrying young man curiously. However, other than the calmness and calmness, the two did not notice any difference.
"Come here!" Li Kai watched as Brother Mai and his sister stepped out of the hall, and then shouted towards the depths of the hall.
Hearing the sound, a mature and attractive maidservant suddenly came to the four astonished vendors with a plate of shining spiritual stones. Looking at the spiritual stones in front of them, the leading vendor became even more demented.
, doubts that could break my head and couldn’t figure it out were lingering in my mind.
"Senior Li………………??" |
Li Kai walked up to the top of the main hall, looked at the four people below indifferently, and said indifferently: "The four of you are holding these spirit stones as compensation for the damaged spirit gathering liquid. I don't care about your previous behavior, I just
I hope you can behave yourself in the future under Lucheng’s jurisdiction and don’t always cause trouble for me!”
"This... definitely! Definitely. Thank you Senior Li for your generosity. I will definitely not do it again in the future. Senior Li, please rest assured."
Looking at the spiritual stone with rich spiritual energy in front of them, the eyes of the four vendors were shining green, and they were so excited that they could not speak incoherently.
Li Kai, who was above the main hall, looked down at the four people below who kept thanking him, and waved his sleeves impatiently;
"Everyone disperse, if it happens again, I will be punished without mercy."
…………
Ling Chen looked at the four people indifferently and thanked them profusely before leaving the hall. He couldn't help but feel a faint admiration for Li Kai above the hall. He could actually see at a glance that the four vendors were slandering the two brothers and sisters.
The most important thing is that Li Kai is a good person and knows that if this matter is not handled properly, it will most likely have a negative impact on the reputation of the city. The purpose of the four hawkers' slander is nothing more than a little spiritual stone, and the aggrieved senior brothers and sisters
The two of them must be innocent before they can give up.
Therefore, Li Kai grasped the weaknesses of these two groups of people, used them skillfully, and dealt with them in a flawless manner. He is worthy of being the "Acting City Lord"
After the black-armored guards on both sides of the lobby retreated, Li Kai looked at Ling Chen, who was standing upright beside him, and whispered;
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ling has anything to discuss with Li?"
Li Kai is no different from the early stage of the Mortal Realm. He is a powerful monk who has entered the Mortal Realm at an early age. He can only rely on intuition to infer that the young man below the lobby has vaguely reached the "False Realm" cultivation level. For a person who will have to cross the Mortal Realm sooner or later.
Monks who enter the Mortal Realm are treated in two different ways than most monks who are in the Soul Gathering Stage.
