As the first act after the war was settled, the auction held by Jade Tao City was extremely grand, and it was intended to show all parties the new appearance of Jade Tao State.
Therefore, this auction not only attracted the attention of the entire Dragon Star Dynasty, but also monks from surrounding countries who heard the news and came here early.
Before the auction date, the Jade Pottery City was already crowded with people, and the people moved out of the city in an orderly manner to make room for the monks participating in this grand event.
On the day of the auction, the Jade Pottery City was even more crowded, with the flow of people reaching its peak, making even two steps without spraining your legs.
Such a huge flow of people brings huge security problems. Fortunately, the night watchman temporarily mobilized a large number of people to rush here to help the Dragon Star Dynasty maintain the order of the auction.
After all, this auction was also vigorously promoted by the Night Watch, and they should help maintain order.
Governor's Palace, meeting hall.
Yunhuang, who had been in seclusion for a long time, also came out of seclusion for this purpose and personally entertained all the Yuanying comrades present.
He Shizhong was also sitting there, drinking tea calmly and looking at the officials of Yutao Prefecture headed by Yunhuang, with an intriguing look in his eyes.
After half a cup of tea, He Shizhong coughed slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist Yun, I am really impressed by the vitality of the Yutao Prefecture faction this time! Especially little friend Liang Zhi, not only is he good at fighting, but he is also proficient in prefecture. Regarding the county’s internal affairs, I have heard countless people praising Lord Liang’s integrity during this journey!”
His words caused many people at the scene to echo him.
Liang Zhi was a famous general in the world, and his reputation had already spread far and wide. Now that everyone knew that this woman was originally a civilian military general, they couldn't help but be very envious, wishing that they could have such an amazing person in their own family.
Liang Zhi bowed his hands and said, "Seniors, you are full of compliments. The present appearance of Yutao Prefecture is inseparable from the two adults Yun and Ling taking charge of the matter. Liang Zhi is just an errand boy, how can he dare to take credit?"
Yun Huang chuckled and said, "This girl is used to being humble. I spend the entire day in seclusion practicing hard, so how can I do anything to coordinate her efforts?"
Liang Zhi was promoted by him single-handedly, and he was more trusted than his close confidants. There was no need to take away her credit, so just praise her when you deserve it.
Everyone laughed.
He Shizhong caressed his beard and said: "Master Liang, you have reminded me, Master Ling Xiaoling, governor of Yutao, why can't you see me today?"
Everyone was startled.
Everyone knows that the second-in-command in Yutao Prefecture is a Jindan monk named Ling Xiao, but with Yunhuang around, no one takes this name seriously. Now, what is the purpose of He Shizhong suddenly mentioning this person?
Yunhuang smiled slightly, but did not answer the question.
Liang Zhi cupped his hands and said: "Master Ling is in seclusion at a critical moment. He has no time to go out to visit the seniors and cannot participate in this auction."
As soon as these words came out, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present looked at each other.
In such a grand auction, even the top leader Yun Huang left the house, but this Ling Xiao actually avoided it?
The meaning of this is unavoidable.
Only the Yutao Prefecture officials present looked as normal and didn't care.
It has been more than three months, and everyone has somewhat figured out the details about Ling Xiao.
Shen Qianhe was only in his old age when he was willing to accept his first and probably only disciple. You can imagine how much weight this disciple's name carries.
Especially Shen Qianhe Shenlong, this disciple almost represents the will of her old man.
When Ling Xiao sneezed, everyone had to guess whether the ancestor had any new instructions.
Under such circumstances, let alone not participating in the auction, even if Ling Xiao proposed to postpone the auction, I am afraid that both the government and the public would have to think carefully.
But in the eyes of He Shizhong, the expressions of the officials reflected another guess.
He asked himself about Ling Xiao's temper, and secretly wondered whether Ling Xiao was still arrogant and domineering after coming to Yutao Prefecture, offending Yunhuang, and thus being ignored?
Thinking of this, He Shizhong couldn't help but feel moved.
Huangfu Xun suddenly sent him a message before, asking him to continue to win over Ling Xiao to join the Night Watch. He thought he would never have a chance, but it seems that there is another bright future?
It seems that I have to find a chance to meet Ling Xiao again.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Ling Xiao sneezed inexplicably, his hand shook, and the talisman he wrote broke into pieces, and the drawing failed.
"Grandma, who is thinking of me?"
He rubbed his nose and muttered angrily.
Fortunately, he didn't know what those people in the Governor's Mansion were thinking, otherwise he would have been frightened into nightmares by those rich imaginations.
"Are you too tired? You should take a rest!" Xiao Gua came over with his sword and said seriously.
"Okay, it's time to take a break."
Ling Xiao put down his pen and let out a sigh of relief.
After three months of hard work, his success rate for level three talismans finally exceeded 30%, and it was time to take a breather.
A good balance between work and rest!
Ling Xiao lay comfortably on Xiaogua's lap, smelling the sweet fragrance wafting from her body, and fell into a deep sleep under her gentle comfort.
In his dream, he seemed to have returned to Beiming Island, and the joy there made him reluctant to leave.
Until he was awakened by a burning sensation between his eyebrows.
Ling Xiao opened his eyes suddenly and sat up straight.
Xiaogua, who was practicing silently, noticed the movement and said with a smile: "Are you awake? Why are you still talking in your sleep? Who is Huan'er... Hey, what's wrong with you?"
She exclaimed and pointed at Ling Xiao's eyebrows.
There, there was a cluster of shimmering light, which seemed to open a heavenly eye to Ling Xiao, adding a bit of awe-inspiring and inviolable sanctity between his brows!
Ling Xiao touched the center of his eyebrows, his eyes gradually became serious, and he said softly: "Finally, it's coming."
Shen Qianhe once said that when visions appear between the eyebrows, it is a sign that the countdown to the Ascetic Monk Conference is in the last year!
Only one year left.
At this moment, there were countless young people in this world who did the same thing as him, stroking their brows, either excited, worried, indifferent, or high-spirited to fight...
The Ascetic Monk Conference is about to begin!
…
Beiming Island, somewhere.
Late at night, there is a solitary lamp and a broken scroll.
The magnificent figure in the hall moved slightly.
The swaying candlelight reflected the light spot between her eyebrows, which looked so faint and moving. That beautiful face was always shrouded in a layer of inexplicable sadness.
The sound of footsteps was sudden.
An old man walked in slowly, coughing softly, and asked in surprise: "Huan'er, you have been reading this fragment for three days and three nights, why don't you rest?"
The woman shook her head and said: "There are still some unsolved mysteries, and it's really hard to sleep. Mr. Kui, Uncle Bai is back, has he noticed..."
The old man shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Huan'er, the person named Ling has been missing for decades. No matter how much we inquire, we still don't know where he is. Why don't you give up? You don't understand Jiang Yu's behavior these years. I saw it, maybe that person has been given to her a long time ago..."
When the old man said this, he looked a little dazed, shook his head, and said: "You have just achieved the golden elixir. Go to rest early and don't stay up any longer."
The old man's figure disappeared into the darkness again, and the woman stared blankly at the lone lamp in front of her. In a daze, she seemed to see the man she had cared about for many years again.
She stood up suddenly.
"Yeah, it's time for me to go find the woman named Jiang and ask her clearly."
She whispered, talking to herself.
The lone lamp went out, and the gloomy darkness completely drowned everything.
