Chapter 22: Turmoil in the City
There are two rows of patrol guards stationed under the huge city gate, and there is a magic circle engraved outside the passage of the city gate, in order to prevent evil spirits from sneaking into the city, the monks who come and go must step into the formation to verify their true identity.
Cangling City, as the only place where Terran monks live in Xihe Prefecture, has more than 5 million people gathered in the city, and the monks who enter and leave the city every day line up in a long line, waiting in line to be tested by the formation.
As a young city lord, Zhou Yun naturally didn't need to wait behind the long queue like others, she led everyone all the way forward and came directly to the city gate.
The Patrol Commander was a bloated fat man with two mustaches.
He saw the young city lord who had been away from the city for half a year appearing in the distance, a pair of small eyes narrowed, and he was slightly angry in his heart, "Hmph, it's really not the right time to come back." β
Even though he was dissatisfied, he was still smiling on the surface, and he greeted Zhou Yun and said, "Young City Lord, you are finally back, and the City Lord misses you very much." β
"Commander Xu, don't come unharmed. Zhou Yun put Xiao Baiyu out of his arms and said hello to Xu Youliang.
"Senior Zhou, long time no see. Xu Youliang arched his hand towards Zhou Xiaoyuan, sensing that the other party was still in a state of distraction, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was not promoted to the realm of heaven and man, otherwise if the Zhou family had one more master, the major events in the Xu family's planning would definitely be affected.
Attention shifted to the stunning woman standing beside Zhou Yun, and his divine sense could not sense this person's cultivation realm, Xu Youliang lost his mind slightly.
guessed that she should have a realm equivalent to herself, and she was also at the peak of the distraction realm, and then asked Zhou Yun: "Is this Taoist friend a new friend made by the young city lord?" β
"That's right, she's my friend, and the other is my disciple. Zhou Yun introduced Shen Fei and Zhao Yanyu to Xu Youliang.
"Hahaha, since Xiaoyou has entered the gate of the Shaocheng Lord, then we will be a family from now on, if there is anything you need my help with in the future, just ask. Xu Youliang stretched out his hand and patted Shen Fei's shoulder, smiling very kindly.
Sensing that the round-faced little girl had been staring at her, Xu Youliang reached out and touched her head, "Xiao Xiao's little girl is getting cuter and cuter the longer she grows, and she will definitely become a powerful monk in the future." β
"Uh-huh! must!" Xiao Baiyu nodded proudly, "I've already built a Qi Realm." β
Shen Fei observed his words and found that his master had a cold attitude towards this Commander Xu, and the relationship did not seem to be harmonious, so he said: "Thank you for your kindness, I have offended many great heavenly demons, and in the future, they will come to seek revenge, so it will be bothering Commander Xu to help." β
"Huh...... Hehe...... This kind of joke is not to be made. Xu Youliang laughed a few times, held Shen Fei's hands, and sighed: "My brother's ability is limited, not to mention the Great Heavenly Demon, even the demon master can take my life." β
Xu Youliang was respectful and friendly on the surface, but in his heart he secretly slandered himself, "Little brother, what qualifications do you have to offend the Great Heavenly Demon, the powerful demon clan has come to seek revenge from the Qi Realm cultivators, they can't afford to lose this face." β
"Alas, since Brother Xu's cultivation is too weak, then I'd better find another helper. Shen Fei looked regretful, and said to Xu Youliang earnestly: "Don't give up on yourself because of the low realm, cultivate hard, there should still be a glimmer of hope to achieve the realm of heaven and man." β
Phew, just a little guy who builds a qi realm, the latter sentence is still left to yourself, Xu Youliang suddenly laughed and laughed, angry and happy.
He thought silently, this guy is a disciple of Zhou Yun, his cultivation is low, and he may be able to use it as a breakthrough to defeat the Zhou family, so he whispered in Shen Fei's ear: "Little brother, come out for a walk at night, and my brother will take you to a good place to play." β
"Okay, we'll see you soon. Shen Fei casually agreed, of course, it is impossible to go to the appointment, the heart is sinister, and the ghost knows if the other party will have bad intentions.
Where there are people, there will be open and secret battles, no matter which city it is, there will be factional disputes, and his own master, as a young city lord, must have many secret enemies, Shen Fei knows that it is sinister, of course he must be careful, so as not to drag her down.
After chatting casually for a while, everyone said goodbye to Xu Youliang and walked straight to the city, where the flow of people was very crowded, which greatly hindered the walking speed.
Zhou Xiaoyuan took the time to tell Shen Fei about the factional struggle between the Zhou and Xu families in the city, during which he frequently observed Zhao Yanyu's face, and stopped talking, as if he wanted to ask her to help at a critical moment.
"Little fat fish, go home immediately, are you happy? Zhao Yanyu gently pinched Xiao Baiyu's fat cheeks, her face was full of spoiling, the little girl was innocent and cute, which made her love it very much, and she couldn't put it down in her arms.
"Sister, can you stop pinching my face. Xiao Baiyu struggled hard in her arms, covering her face tightly with her little hands, so that Zhao Yanyu couldn't do anything, and then said pitifully: "I can come down and walk by myself." β
"Okay, okay, sister, don't pinch your face. Zhao Yanyu rubbed her little head, looked around at the congested crowd, and said to Zhou Yun: "Sister Wan, your Cangling City is really lively, and it deserves to be a top city." β
Zhou Yun smiled slightly, staring in the direction where the City Lord's Mansion was located, "In the future, we will live in Cangling City, and when we cultivate to a great success, we will travel out of the city." β
The shadow of this trip to the secret realm was profound, and the sense of oppression brought by the weakness of cultivation made Zhou Yun both anxious and uncomfortable, even if he had returned to the city at this time, he still felt panicked.
Subconsciously looked at Shen Fei and Zhao Yanyu who were accompanying him, and his panicked and worried mood was a little calmer.
Zhao Yanyu wanted to live in Cangling City and live a stable life with Shen Fei, but unfortunately the situation did not allow it, not to mention that her father would come over at any time to take her back to Nanding City to marry her fiancΓ©.
In the future, when the demon tide breaks out, he must go back to support the clansmen, no matter what happens, Zhao Yanyu will not be able to stay in Cangling City for too long, and he can only smile at Zhou Yun's suggestion.
After walking through the crowd for more than half an hour, everyone finally came to the outside of the city lord's mansion, which was a very large compound, with two vermilion gates open and six black-armored guards standing on either side.
"Young City Lord, you're finally back. β
"There are demons and evil everywhere outside the city, and it is very dangerous, so the young city lord should not travel far away from the city. β
"With Elder Zhou here, the young city lord must be safe, what are you worried about. β
The guards saw the familiar figure from a distance, and immediately stepped forward to say hello and said hello, and the words were enthusiastic.
Zhou Wan has always been approachable, without the slightest arrogance, and gets along well with his subordinates, and the relationship is very harmonious, so the guards have great respect for this beautiful and gentle young city lord.
"Thank you for your concern. Zhou Yun smiled and exchanged a few words with them, and introduced Shen Fei, a disciple, by the way.
Maybe it's because of the love of the house and Wu, everyone's attitude towards Shen Fei is extremely enthusiastic, and it just so happens that Shen Fei is a cheerful person, and he calls the guards brothers and sisters after a while, and chats quite well.
The city lord of Cangling City is usually busy with affairs and needs to meet many important people from various cities, so there are many people coming and going in the City Lord's Mansion every day.
At this time, a man in a snow-white robe walked out of the city lord's mansion, his face was handsome, his eyebrows were heroic and awe-inspiring, his steps were windy, and his temperament was dashing.
When he was ten zhang away, Bai Shaoqing had already seen the two stunning beauties outside the vermilion gate, the one with long hair and waist and gentle eyebrows, as if out of the water hibiscus, beautiful and incomprehensible.
Another beauty in a blood-red robe had a delicate face, and the loose robe could not hide her tall and seductive body, and the woman with a charming posture stood quietly in the distance, and the seductive figure made the surrounding scenery lose its color.
After traveling to various cities for decades, Bai Shaoqing has seen many beautiful female monks, and carefully compared them in her heart, but found that it was difficult to find a woman who could be equal to her, and clenched the hands behind her hard, and her throbbing heart calmed down slightly.
Even though he was happy to see the hunter, out of full confidence in his appearance, Bai Shaoqing felt that his chic posture would definitely attract their attention, so he didn't rush forward to talk.
Leave a figure of a jade tree in the wind first, and then meet a few times at the right time, and then find a chance to talk for a while, revealing the advanced cultivation of his own distraction realm, waiting for the opportunity to form a friendship that is not deep or shallow, and it is very close to the water to come to fruition.
Bai Shaoqing, as a handsome and powerful young Tianjiao, has captured the hearts of many women with this means, including some Tianzhi women who are from noble backgrounds and have profound Taoism.
