Located in the southwest of the Middle Heaven Realm, Time City is not only one of the seven main cities of the Middle Heaven Realm, but also the only area in the Human Realm that can remain neutral.

Like the City of Heaven and the City of Lamentations, the City of Years and Ages is also home to millions of human beings who live an ordinary and peaceful life at sunrise, and what can be given to them here is not just an illusion of peace and ease, but a real paradise.

However, today, the City Lord's Mansion of the City of Years and Years welcomed an uninvited guest, and the arrival of this person added a touch of a different atmosphere to the peaceful City of Years.

Guan Liang stood alone in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and was distracted, he came alone, the woman who was with him that day was not there, the city of the years was not stained with disputes, although Guan Liang was a celebrity of the Heavenly Sect, he also knew the rules here, so he did not come today to be contaminated with a trace of dust, but more like painting a pot of green plums with a friend who had not met for a long time.

After a while, a person came out of the back hall, this is a handsome young man, with a face that makes women jealous, his gaze stayed on Guan Liang's face, and after a while, there was a hint of a light smile like a sinking fish and a goose.

"What a rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here?" The man looked at Guan Liang, although he was conveying greetings between his words, his tone sounded like another unfathomable taste, and he seemed to have reservations.

After Guan Liang saw him, he first gave a deep salute, and then said.

"Guan Liang has seen City Lord Gu, and it has been more than three years since he last said goodbye. The handsome young man known as Gu City Lord listened to his greetings, but his eyes revealed an imperceptible essence, and he could hear at least three meanings from the other party's words, the first was that he came alone, the second he came from his own position, and the third was that the other party had something to ask for.

Although the seven main cities of the human realm are the biggest reliance of the human race in the middle of the heavenly realm, there is not much contact on weekdays, not that the people are warm and cold, but most of them are in important places, and they have different complicated things to deal with, and the city of the years located in the southwest realm, in addition to maintaining a neutral status among the human races, what also needs to be guarded against is the ghost clan from the southern Xinjiang region.

"Sit down, you're going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I guess you're not here for that person. When Guan Liang sat down, Gu City Lord's words suddenly made Guan Liang's conscience feel cold, and the originally prepared words suddenly became useless.

For Guan Liang, although the Gu City Lord in front of him has had several relationships with him, but the other party's status is extraordinary, even if he has to be courteous, he is also the top person at the level of his master, and although he Guan Liang is in the City of Sorrow and has a high status in the Destiny Heavenly Sect, he is just the apprentice of the master and child, in front of the Gu City Lord, he belongs to the junior, and the junior sees the elder, even if he does not perform the disciple ceremony, he should have the appearance of the junior.

Therefore, Gu City Lord's words could not be answered clearly, and it would be disrespectful to say the answer directly, so since the other party said so, Guan Liang could only get up from his seat, and after giving a salute again, he made a gesture of asking for advice.

Looking at Guan Liang in front of him, Gu City Lord's heart was also thinking about the other party's intentions, although he could read the other party's mind, but after all, he was not a master and child who cultivated secret rules, and he relied on his experience accumulation to recognize people and treat things, not mind reading.

And seeing the other party's posture at this time, Gu City Lord's heart also knew a thing or two, the boiling big thing in the Gate of Creation was only on the surface, and there was another layer of meaning behind the scenes.

While thinking about it, at this time, the maid brought refreshments, put them down and left, taking this opportunity, Gu City Lord picked up the teapot.

"How can you bother the city lord, let the boy come. Seeing that Gu Cheng was going to give him a bottle of tea, Guan Liang hurriedly grabbed a step and wanted to take away the wine jug, but the wine jug was already in the hands of Gu Cheng Lord, Guan Liang didn't dare to snatch it, but he didn't dare to just come and be at ease, without thinking, he said after throwing himself to the ground.

"Lord of the city, the boy has a question, and I hope that the Lord of the City will give me advice. At this time, after the city lord Gu heard the other party say this, a faint smile inadvertently appeared on his face, and it was gone in a blink of an eye, but he also put down the wine jug in his hand with the words that the other party said.

The previous move between the two seemed to be playing dumb riddles, but in fact it was a secret contest, after all, there was a gap in seniority between the two, so they could only compete through the competition of secret actions and thoughts.

For Guan Liang, he did come prepared today, but the question can't be said clearly, let alone just throw the question to the other party and wait for the other party to answer, which is disrespectful, so he used one

The "one-year-old" friendship is used as the opening sentence, and this old friend has two different meanings, or ambiguities.

The first meaning refers to himself, and the second meaning refers to his master and child.

If the old friend refers to himself, then Guan Liang's politeness belongs to the category of normal reception and treatment, and the other party accepted Guan Liang's junior gift, so he should naturally show something, this is the basic courtesy of visiting guests, so no matter what Guan Liang says next, Gu City Lord must definitely need to show it.

But if the old friend in Guan Liang's mouth refers to his master and master's words, and the master and child use Guan Liang's mouth to describe the feelings of the old friend, then Gu City Lord can't hold it up, after all, the representative is also a polite way, and since it is a representative, then Guan Liang can naturally use the name of the master to discuss with Gu City Lord's peers.

These two different ways have the meaning of anti-guest for Guan Liang, but Gu City Lord is such a smart person, he knows that he can't accept this trick, no matter what Guan Liang's intention is, he can't let him speak first and push the problem to himself, if that's the case, the neutral position of the City Lord of his age will be put in quotation marks.

Therefore, Gu City Lord took the opportunity of the maid to serve tea and pour water, and forced Guan Liang to make concessions with the attitude of respecting and loving the younger generation.

The competition of the wise is another bloodless struggle, and psychological warfare is the most important part of it.

At this time, Guan Liang had already lost the upper hand, but since he had something to ask for, he had to use one in the end

"Pleading" to obtain the other party's funding, of course, if he can oppose the guest, use the identity of the neutral position of the city to make a fuss, and force the other party to make concessions in order to maintain his neutrality, then the price he needs to pay for Guan Liang is undoubtedly much smaller.

But for now, I have to follow the formal way. I am the Lord of the Laws, the latest chapter, Chapter 119, the battle of the wise:
