The city lord's people brought not only the selection notice, but also an invitation letter that was a bit weird inside and out.
Ningxia drowsily accepted the invitation letter made into a jade plaque, feeling complicated in her heart despite the pressured eyes of her classmates. How did it become like this?
"The matters assigned by the City Lord are over. The selected candidates should also have received the tokens. Identity information is burned on them. Please keep them well and come to the square on time to wait. If you lose the tokens, you can report it to the City Lord's Mansion and claim it again. . Remember, all selected disciples must come in person and are not allowed to make false claims. Once discovered, their sect will be deprived of the qualification to participate in the next exchange conference. Please be careful!"
The person who came to deliver the message was an honest-looking Jindan elder. He was a little older and had become more and more coercive. With Fengming City standing behind him, no one dared to offend him easily.
The younger monks present subconsciously nodded in response. Even those who were lucky and planned to trick Chen Cang secretly could not help but feel their hearts tremble, and they felt guilty and fearful.
Of course, True Lord Yuan Heng is not among this list. In his eyes, the pressure of True Lord Jin Dan is nothing more than the level of a kitten.
What he really cares about is not the final primary election, but why his mediocre, weak, pitiful and stupid juniors are singled out? There are so many famous young talents in Fengming City, why? Just choose her? True Lord Yuanheng, who has gone through countless ups and downs so far, has turned into a conspiracy.
"I've already learned what the city lord meant. It's been a hard journey, so why not stay for a meal? I don't know what you call me?" True Lord Yuanheng didn't be aggressive when he first came up, but instead slowly changed the subject.
Facing the long-famous Yuanying Daojun, the Jindan master did not dare to take Qiao casually, or he even thought that the unattainable Yuanying Daojun would take the initiative to ask about the matter.
In his impression, Yuanying Zhenjun is an expert who is obsessed with cultivation and has never been born in the world. He will not pay attention to the affairs of low-level disciples.
When they first saw the Wuhua Sect's team with a True Lord Yuanying, they were extremely surprised. When would True Lord Yuanying appear in front of everyone? Or should they come to a grand ceremony like the exchange conference that would not be helpful to their cultivation? . I thought I just came out to hang out because I was bored, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't come out to watch the fun, and seemed to be very defensive.
"Master Dao is serious, I am just an ordinary Jindan Daoist in Fengming City, and this is what I should do. In Xia Yue Conggu, the person in charge of the third branch of the Yue family, Zhenjun can call me Conggu." Although he was frightened, he was a well-established figure in Fengming City after all, so he would not be frightened. He introduced his identity in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and waited for the True Lord to raise questions.
"My visit this time is just a leisure break in the long journey of cultivation. After all, this is the stage for the juniors. They have their own way, and I have no intention of intervening in the affairs here. But one of my juniors doesn't know Why did you suddenly gain the favor of the Lord of the City? So I shamelessly wanted to ask and asked fellow Taoist to clarify my doubts."
Being sharp is not a good thing. His little disciple is just a young bud, and too much exposure will not benefit her, but will only attract others to covet her. The city lord's move was to roast the little guy. He had to figure out the Yue City lord's intention.
"Zhenjun is quite open-minded and has a sincere heart to teach the younger ones. The disciples of Wuhua Sect are lucky to have an elder like you who understands righteousness. They must all be outstanding children. As for Ningxia True Lord, you don’t have to worry too much about fellow Taoist matters..." Yue Conggu hesitated, with a strange look on his face, as if he was trying hard to organize his words.
True Lord Yuan Heng frowned. The other party's secretive attitude actually made him unhappy. Is there anything that cannot be said about big or small things? Since he dared to mention his words among everyone, it must not be a secret matter. To be timid is the behavior of rats.
"True Lord, it's not that this junior intentionally deceives and deliberately doesn't tell the truth, but that this junior doesn't know what's wrong. The city lord only said to invite these people, but didn't mention the reason. He only sent us to send invitations." It's not that he didn't want to say, I really don’t know, even middle and high-level people like them are very curious.
This exchange conference was a little weird inside and out.
"Some?" Zhenjun Yuanheng keenly captured the key information: "Can you tell us who else is there?"
"We have been assigned different tasks and are responsible for different sects. The junior is only responsible for the Wuhua sect's communication and doesn't know much about the situation of other sects." Yue Conggu shook his head and said helplessly.
"Hmm...oh! I know one of them, this junior. When I came here, I met a familiar fellow student on the front street, and he was also going to deliver a letter. But he was going to report to the 'Huyang Sect', and they only had one this time. The disciple qualified, and the city lord also sent an invitation. I heard that the disciple is also a young man." Speaking of this, the Jindan Master also showed some doubts on his face.
The city lord... what on earth was he thinking, and why would he specifically invite a young and unknown junior to attend a "drinking party"?
