With Sha Chu and Chu Lord presiding over the Trialist Competition, and with Li Qingyi and Wan Chaochun taking care of it, Li Xiu felt relatively at ease.
He was not in the mood to stay here to watch the game, so he returned to Changshengtian with the jade token. He had to find out what the relationship between Space City and the president was before he could go to Space City.
After Li Xiu returned to Changshengtian, he found that the people in Changshengtian looked at him very differently today.
Li Xiu did not go back to No. 7 Courtyard and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Director Li." The guards at the City Lord's Mansion saluted very respectfully when they saw Li Xiu.
"Li Xiu, please see the president, please help us pass the news." Li Xiu returned the courtesy.
"Director Li, there are no guests for the president today." One of the older guards said.
"I wonder when the president will see the guests?" Li Xiu asked.
The guard pondered for a moment, walked closer, and whispered to Li Xiu: "Director Li, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't say anything. I also heard what you said in the Trial Competition, and I admire you in my heart. Very, if you don’t mind my talking too much, I will say a few words.”
"Please tell me." Li Xiu said quickly.
The old guard whispered: "If you are here to see the president about space city, I advise you not to come."
"Why?" Li Xiu was a little stunned.
"I have been guarding the gate here for three of the sixty years. I have never seen anyone come to the president about space city before. There are many presidents, vice-presidents, and even everyone's family heads. The results were not satisfactory." The old guard said in a voice. It was so low that only Li Xiu could hear it.
What he said was a bit cryptic, but Li Xiu was not a fool, so he naturally understood it. I'm afraid the result would be more than just unsatisfactory.
"Thank you." Li Xiu bowed to the old guard, then took out the jade token and handed it to the old guard: "Since the president has no guests, could you please pass this jade token to the president on my behalf."
Seeing that the old guard had collected the jade token, Li Xiu turned and left.
After Li Xiu left, the old guard took the jade token into the city lord's mansion, and soon arrived outside a hall.
"Li Xiu is gone?" The president's voice came from the hall.
The old guard walked into the hall, handed the jade plaque to the president with both hands, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Let's go."
"What did he say?" the president asked as he took the jade token.
"Director Li didn't say anything, he just handed over the jade token." The old guard said.
"Old Jia, what do you think of Li Xiu?" the president said, playing with the jade card.
"Mr. Li has achieved great success at a young age. He has the spirit of a young man, but he also has a measured approach and a broad mind. This is really rare." Old Jia, the guard, replied respectfully.
"It seems that you like him very much. You have been guarding the door for me for sixty-three years. No matter what happened before, you have never said a word. Today you said a few words to him." The president said calmly. said.
Lao Jia immediately fell to the ground in fear and said: "This old slave is talking too much, please punish me, Lord City Lord."
"Get up, no one is a saint. It's rare that you can be careful in your words and deeds for sixty-three years. Those old brothers who used to guard the gate with you, you are the only one left now. I can talk to you. There are not many people talking about those things in the past, so you are the only one left." The president said calmly: "Old Jia, what do you think if I give this jade token to Li Xiu?"
When Lao Jia heard what the president said, he quickly said: "Although President Li is extremely talented and has a mind that is unmatched by ordinary people, he is still too young after all and his training time is short. Isn't it too early to give him the jade medal?" ?』
"It was a little early, but now that the jade token is back, naturally it can't be returned. We have to find a new owner for it." The president said calmly.
"That's what the president said." Lao Jia didn't dare to say any more.
The president threw the jade token to Lao Jia and said calmly: "Bring the jade token to him, and follow him from now on."
"President...I..." Lao Jia knelt down with panic on his face.
"You don't have to think too much. Once the jade token is in his hands, the responsibility will naturally fall on him. Someone has to tell him what to do. Please take some time and follow
Give him some advice so that he doesn't waste his good time. "The president said with a smile.
"Old slave, please take care of yourself, President. I can no longer guard the door for you." Lao Jia had tears in his eyes and bowed deeply.
"Go ahead." The president waved his hand.
Lao Jia then stood up and left, knowing that he would never come back.
Before Li Xiu returned to Courtyard No. 7, he saw the old guard who was talking to him at the gate of Chengmen Mansion chasing after him.
"Director Li, please stay." Lao Jia said after catching up with Li Xiu.
"Old sir, has the president changed his mind and wants to see me?" Li Xiu thought Lao Jia was coming to see him.
Lao Jia shook his head and handed the jade plaque to Li Xiu with both hands: "President, the president asked me to hand over the jade plaque to you. From now on, this jade plaque will belong to you."
"President, give me the jade token?" Li Xiu looked at Lao Jia in shock.
"Yes, this jade token will be yours from now on. The president asked me to follow you in the future." Lao Jia saluted.
Li Xiu immediately guessed something, and quickly supported Lao Jia and said, "I'm the one who caused the old man trouble. I'm sorry. From now on, if you join my technician team, just relax and enjoy your life. I don't know what to call the old man?" "
"The chief just calls me Lao Jia." Lao Jia said quickly.
"Old Jia, let's go back together. Do you have a place to stay? If you don't have a place to stay, just stay in my No. 7 courtyard. I will clean up a wing for you." Li Xiu felt a little guilty in his heart. If it weren't for Lao Jia, After giving him a few nods, he probably wouldn't be brought here by the president.
"President, there is no need to be polite to this old slave. I have been guarding the door for the president all my life. I don't know how to do anything else. I only know how to guard the door. If the president doesn't mind, let me guard the door for you. I have no children." I don’t have any family, so I don’t need a wing, so I can just live in a concierge,” Lao Jia said.
"As long as you like it." Li Xiu smiled.
Li Xiu took Lao Jia back to Courtyard No. 7, and found someone to help Lao Jia pack up the concierge and let Lao Jia move in.
When Li Xiu was about to get something to eat, he was stopped by Lao Jia.
"Chief, do you know why the president gave you the jade medal?" Lao Jia said.
"You know?" Li Xiu looked at Lao Jia in surprise and asked.
"You know, if the chief is free, I will explain it to you in detail." Lao Jia said with a smile.
"I'll get something to eat and we'll chat while eating." Li Xiu said and was about to go to the kitchen.
"How can we let the chief executive go to the kitchen himself? Let me do it. I am good at this.
Lao Jia said and ran to the kitchen without giving Li Xiu a chance to refuse.
After a while, Lao Jia brought out several side dishes that were full of color, flavor and flavor.
"I haven't prepared much today. Chief, just make do with some food." Lao Jia put the dishes on the table.
"Lao Jia, let's sit down and have a drink and chat." Li Xiu took out a bottle of wine and poured it for Lao Jia and himself.
Lao Jia was not polite and sat down without picking up the food. He took a sip of wine, sipped it and said with a smile, "Does the chief know what this jade plaque represents?"
"I heard that he is the representative president. Seeing the cards is like seeing people, just like the ancient meaning of being here in person." Li Xiu said while eating food. He likes to eat before drinking.
"It's true. With this jade sign, everyone in Changsheng Tian will give you three points of thin noodles. Even if you kill someone in the city, the law enforcement team will not dare to arrest the person first when they see this sign. They can only go first Ask the president for instructions. No one dares to touch you without the president’s personal nod. "Lao Jia is a person who likes to drink wine and not eat vegetables. He will take a sip after a while.
"This jade token has such great benefits and rights. Why did the president give it to me?" Li Xiu asked, playing with the jade token.
"With rights comes responsibility. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world," Lao Jia said.
"Oh, what responsibility?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.
"With this jade token, you can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the Eternal Life Heaven. You can have whatever you want, and no one else dares to compete with you. But, if you take the benefit, you have to pay for it. something."
"What are you paying for?"
"You have to fight for this jade token."
"Fighting hard? How to fight hard?"
Lao Jia looked at the jade plaque in Li Xiu's hand and said, "Have you seen the magic words engraved on the jade plaque?"
"Are these the times engraved on it?" Li Xiu had seen it a long time ago.
"Yes, it's time. The chief is really knowledgeable and talented. He can even recognize magic words." Old Jia said seriously: "After you take this jade token, when the time on the jade token comes, you have to fight hard. If you win, the jade token It’s still yours, and you can have whatever you want from now on. As long as it’s not too much, even if you are greedy and ruthless, the president will not do anything to you.”
"When the time comes, who am I going to fight to the death?" Li Xiu asked, staring at Lao Jia, knowing that he was close to the center of the secret.
"I don't know." Unexpectedly, Lao Jia shook his head and said, "President, please don't look at me like this. I really don't know. Sixty years ago, I saw someone taking a jade medal and following the president. He never came back, and the president said he lost the fight and his life was gone."
"Who was that person sixty years ago?" Li Xiu asked.
"That man used to be very famous in Changsheng Heaven, and his name was Guan Qingzhai." Lao Jia said slowly.
"Guan Qingzhai? What does it mean that he is Guan Jinghao from Space City?" Li Xiu has probably guessed who that person is.
"No one knows, I guess, Guan Jinghao should be a descendant of Guan Qingzhai, otherwise this jade plaque would not be in the hands of Space City, but this is just my guess." Lao Jia smiled bitterly: "If you didn't put the jade medal in the hands of Space City, If you take the jade card back, then it will be the Guan family who will fight with the jade card. But now that you have taken the jade card back, and the president has given it to you, then the people who should fight will become you."
"Can I return the jade token to Guan Jinghao?" Li Xiu said with a bitter smile.
"I'm afraid it won't work." Lao Jia shook his head.
"This time only has a date but no year. I don't know which year it is?" Li Xiu looked at the jade plaque and said thoughtfully.
"Just this year, it will be sixty years." Lao Jia said.
"This year? If you think about it, there are only a few months left. Aren't I taking the blame from others and taking it on myself?" Li Xiu felt that he had really been cheated this time.
"Who says it's not, but there is still some time. You still have time to do something with this brand." Lao Jia sighed.
"What about?" Li Xiu asked.
"For example, you can call on the resources in the city treasury and borrow some for use first." Lao Jia said with a smile.
"I like this." Li Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he held the sign and asked, "Do I need to pay it back after I borrow it?"
"In a few months, if you don't win the fight and everyone is gone, what else will you have? If you win the fight, you will be a huge hero. The brand is still yours. Who dares to let you return it?" Lao Jia said.
"That makes sense, then I'll go to the city treasury now." Li Xiu said and was about to get up.
"Commander, don't rush there yet. At your level, although there are many resources in the city treasury, they may not be of great use to you." Lao Jia said quickly.
"Then can I borrow something from the president's small vault?" Li Xiu asked, blinking.
"You are going to snatch the treasure of the person who gave you the power. Do you think it can be done?" Lao Jia said with a bitter smile.
"The ones in the city treasury are too low-level, and the president's small treasury cannot be borrowed, so wouldn't my jade token be worthless?" Li Xiu frowned.
"Of course you can't borrow the president's treasury, but it's not just the president who has a treasury in the city. There are wealthy families who have accumulated it for thousands of years, and they also have a lot of good things." Lao Jia said with narrowed eyes.
"Four Families!" Li Xiu's eyes lit up. He finally knew how to use this thing.
But then I thought about it, if the Four Families had any good things, they wouldn't just let him pick them out. Even if he went to the Four Families, for the sake of Jade Pai, they would at most show him some junk.
Just like in the myth, Sun Monkey went to borrow a treasure from the Dragon King, and the Dragon King just took some rags to fool him.
If Monkey Sun hadn't been a rogue enough, he would have stayed in the Dragon King's Crystal Palace
If you don't leave, you won't be able to get the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and those armor boots in the end.
In this case, the Dragon King just gave Sun Houhou some useless things, not a real treasure.
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel has no use other than being able to grow or shrink. It is far from a truly powerful treasure.
Li Xiu went to the Four Houses to borrow something by himself. Can they bring out good things for him to choose from? He knew from his butt that it was definitely impossible.
After all, the jade sign in his hand was not an imperial decree to confiscate the house. It was impossible for him to confiscate all the treasures like Wei Xiaobao did when he ransacked Obai's house.
"Old Jia, do you think I can borrow something from the Four Houses?" Li Xiu had no choice but to throw the question to Lao Jia again.
Since this idea came from Lao Jia, I guess he must have a way, so we can't let him go in vain.
"Chief, look at this." Lao Jia took out an old notebook from his arms and handed it to Li Xiu.
After Li Xiu took the notebook and flipped through a few pages, the smile on his face never stopped.
What is recorded in this notebook is what a certain family collected on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, and all the things recorded in it are priceless and good things.
"Old Jia, you have really helped me a lot." Li Xiu beamed with joy.
"Commander, after all, the things written here are very old. It's hard to say whether they are still in other people's hands. Whether you can borrow them or not depends on your chance." Lao Jia said.
Li Xiu understood what Lao Jia meant. It was true that the thing was in someone else's hands, but if the person didn't admit it, there was nothing Li Xiu could do, so he had to pay attention to the method when borrowing something.
"Don't worry, I will have a good chat with them." Li Xiu said with a smile.
After chatting with Lao Jia for half the night, Li Xiu asked everything he could think of, but Lao Jia didn't reveal much.
Li Xiu also knew that Lao Jia definitely knew more than that, but there were definitely some things he couldn't say.
Lao Jia didn't know much about the space city, and he didn't dare to say who he wanted to fight with, so Li Xiu had to ask some questions about Guan Qingzhai.
According to Lao Jia, Guan Qingzhai was recruited from outside by the president himself. At that time, Guan Qingzhai was just like Li Xiu now, and he was the most popular person in Changshengtian.
Of course, the reason why he is in the limelight is somewhat different from Li Xiu. After Li Xiu entered the Immortal Heaven, he fought through all the obstacles and fought every battle by himself.
But Guan Qingzhai was different. After he came to Changshengtian, the president directly gave him a jade card. It can be said that he got wind and rain, and made the wealthy families at that time miserable.
Li Xiu didn't care much about these things. He just wanted to know what level Guan Qingzhai was when he followed the president to fight for his life.
If Guan Qingzhai was already a god-level boss at that time and still failed to come back alive, then Li Xiu would have to consider whether to run away now.
Anyway, he has to go out to host the Trialist Competition. In this name, he will run away directly and go into the deep mountains and forests. Not to mention that the president will not be able to find him for the rest of his life. He should hide for a few months and wait for this matter to pass. questionable.
He has just been promoted to Casting Spirit, and there are only a few months left before the time on the Jade Card. It is still quite difficult to be promoted to the divine position. He just likes taking risks, not giving away people's lives. He still has to run when he should.
The answer Lao Jia gave him was the Peak of Spirit-casting. Li Xiu didn't quite believe it. He planned to go to the president to confirm again when he had the opportunity, or ask other people to inquire. Ba Ye and Wan Chaochun should know something about Guan Qingzhai. That's right.
Li Xiu still finds this matter full of doubts. If Guan Jinghao is a descendant of Guan Qingzhai, and he will have to work hard like Guan Qingzhai in the future, so the president will tolerate the existence of Space City, then what does Guan Jinghao rely on to work hard?
To say the least, Guan Qingzhai's strength is the third form of spirit casting. Even though Guan Jinghao is also a trialist, the gem resources and trial gate resources in Space City are very poor. Guan Jinghao has rarely left Space City. , what can I use to advance to the trial level?
Anyway, during the three years that Li Xiu was in Space City, he never saw Guan Jinghao controlling demons.
Even though he was pretending, he had never shown any of the methods of a trialer. There was nothing special, and he had never even left the city lord's mansion.
If he, Li Xiu, had not snatched the jade medal, why would Guan Jinghao follow the president to risk his life?
"Shura so readily exchanged the jade token for Rakshasa's life, could it be Guan Jinghao's instruction?" Li Xiu felt that he still had to go to the space city.
Even if the matter of him taking the jade medal had nothing to do with the change, Guan Jinghao would still have to pay for it. He remembered that Cullinan 2 should be in Space City.
