Xue Yang's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Obviously, he never expected that Gongsun Yang, the lord of the Qingzhou Mansion, would value Lin Yifan so much that he promised Lin Yifan the position of inspector.

The official position of inspector, in Qingzhou, can be said to be second only to the official position of the governor of Qingzhou.

One person is below ten thousand people.

In Xueyang's inherent cognition, if a person wants to be promoted, he must go step by step, starting from the lowest level of guards and handymen.

Then develop slowly, make meritorious deeds, accumulate honors, and finally be able to be promoted.

Even if it is a genius who is rare in a century, or a dude with a background, if he wants to develop within the system, he still has to work step by step, starting from the lowest level.

But Lin Yifan didn't have the slightest background in the system, and now he was appointed as an inspector as soon as he took office.

This shocked Xue Yang extremely.

"Patriarch Hong, are you joking?"

It took Xueyang a long while before he realized and asked.

"Do I look like I'm joking? This matter will soon spread all over the city. By then, you will naturally hear about it."

Hong Yishui laughed heartily: "Master Xuecheng, today is a time of great chaos, and your previous cognition and concepts are completely outdated. A formation master like Lin Yifan can be said to be the patron saint in the troubled times. Arranging a large guardian array at will can protect the peace of one side. Every governor of the state capital will try his best to win over such a talent. There is nothing wrong with Gong Sunyang, the master of the Qingzhou government, promising the position of inspector. Strange."

Hearing this, Xue Yang nodded in agreement.

Beside him, Xue Rou lowered her head, biting her lips tightly, with tears in her eyes, almost about to flow down.

Her heart was filled with anger and shock.

She never expected that Lin Yifan, who was worthless in her eyes, was so valued by Gongsun Yang, the Lord of Qingzhou Mansion, that he directly wanted to appoint Lin Yifan as the inspector.

Even her father, Xueyang, who she had always admired very much, was much worse than Lin Yifan, and he was just one of Lin Yifan's subordinates.

"However, I think Lin Yifan will most likely not agree to the appointment of Palace Master Gongsun, nor will he go to Qingzhou Mansion to take up his post."

Hong Yishui raised the corner of his mouth, and said: "This guy is very ambitious, and he is planning to use his own strength to dominate the country and become the king. He is not a person who can stay under others for a long time."

Xue Yang nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two exchanged pleasantries, and Xue Yang took the lead in saying goodbye.

When Xueyang pulled Xuerou away, Xuerou suddenly trembled, recovered from the state of being absent-minded, and followed Xueyang quite disappointedly.

……

……

By the shore of Bibo Lake, Qingzhou Prefecture.

After the Patriarch of the Bai family came to Qingzhou Mansion, he entered the meeting hall and waited under the leadership of the Jinjia guards.

At this time, there are not many ancestors who are still in the meeting hall.

There are only a dozen ancestors in Bailu City left, and a few ancestors who did not pay all the tributes.

Every patriarch's expression was unusually dignified and full of preoccupations.

"Old Ancestor Hong, may I ask where the Palace Master has gone?"

The ancestor of the Bai family walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, suddenly raised his head, looked at the ancestor of the Hong family who was curled up on the seat beside him, and asked a question.

"Responding to Patriarch Bai's words, the Palace Master has gone to Bailu City."

The patriarch of the Hong family raised his head and responded respectfully, then sighed heavily, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

Many patriarchs present who also came from Bailu City all looked at the patriarchs of the Hong family with pity.

This time, Palace Master Gongsun, under the instigation of Gongsun Ke, went straight to Hong's house in Bailu City, intending to arrest Lin Yifan and punish him severely.

The Hong family has a very close relationship with Lin Yifan, if not done well, they will be involved together.

"It seems that I can only wait here quietly. I hope that the Palace Master will come back soon."

The patriarch of the Bai family shook his head when he heard the words, and sat back on his seat.

Half a day passed, and when the sun set and the sky darkened, Gongsun Yang hurried back to Qingzhou Mansion.

"My lord is back!"

Outside the meeting hall, a guard in golden armor shouted.

At that moment, all the patriarchs in the entire meeting hall stood up in a panic, and looked towards the door anxiously.

"Meet Palace Master Gongsun."

"I have met Palace Master Gongsun."

Seeing Gongsun Yang striding into the meeting hall surrounded by everyone, all the ancestors bowed and saluted.

However, Gongsun Yang walked to the throne in the center and sat down as if he didn't see the great ancestors.

"Gongsun Ke, listen to the order."

Gongsun Yang's face was gloomy, and as soon as he sat down, he issued orders in a cold voice.

"exist."

Gongsun Ke stood up nervously, hunched over, not daring to lift his head.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became extremely depressing.

The ancestors of the major families present all turned their heads and looked over curiously. They seemed to be aware of it, and they all watched with trepidation, not daring to interrupt.

"In view of your disadvantages, starting today, I will temporarily suspend your official position as inspector and stay for inspection."

Gongsun Yang said with a straight face.

"My lord, I..." Gongsun Ke became anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain something, but was interrupted by Gongsun Yang waving his hand.

"Stop talking, I've made up my mind."

Gongsunyang said indifferently: "From today onwards, you will be stationed at Qingzhou College and will be on your guard the whole time. Once the lost city is opened again, then Dean Dong, Old Man Zhang and others come back from another world. You have to bring them here as soon as possible." See me and report the news to me. This matter is of great importance, and there must be no mistakes, do you understand?"

"As ordered."

Although Gongsun Ke was unwilling, he still respectfully agreed.

At this moment, his resentment towards Lin Yifan had reached its peak.

I can't wait to swallow Lin Yifan alive, and burn his bones to ashes!
If it weren't for Lin Yifan, he wouldn't have been suspended for inspection, and would have been assigned to Qingzhou College as a small intelligence officer.

"By the way, the patriarch of the Hong family."

At this time, Gongsun Yang glanced at the patriarch of the Hong family sitting in the corner of the hall, and immediately waved with a smile on his face.

The patriarch of the Hong family trembled when he heard the sound, stood up from his seat nervously, walked to the center of the hall, and saluted Gongsun Yang: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Don't be restrained, Hong Patriarch. Your Hong family is developing well, and I will take care of them in the future. I will order Cheng Hao to return all the spiritual fruits and spirit stones that your Hong family handed in this time when they come back."

Gongsun Yang smiled slightly and said kindly.

"This……"

The patriarch of the Hong family originally thought that Gongsun Yang was going to ask the teacher to punish him, and he would kill him, an old antique in his dying years. He never expected such a situation.

"Many thanks, Lord Palace Master. On behalf of more than 9000 people in the Hong family, I thank you."

The patriarch of the Hong family bowed and saluted again and again, his face beaming with joy.

"Old Ancestor Hong, as I said, there is no need to be polite between you and me."

Gongsun Yang smiled and said: "Okay, now you can leave, I will not restrict your freedom. Of course, if you are willing to stay in our Qingzhou Mansion as a guest, I will send two servant girls to serve you."

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master, for your care. The old man is eager to return home, so he will stay soon."

The patriarch of the Hong family said in succession.

"Alright, I'll see you off."

Gongsunyang stood up, personally sent the ancestor of the Hong family outside the meeting hall, watched the ancestor of the Hong family leave, and then returned to the meeting hall.

For a moment, all the ancestors in the entire conference hall were shocked and sighed secretly.

"What's the situation? Why did the always proud and indifferent Palace Master treat Old Ancestor Hong so politely? First he was exempted from the Hong family's tribute, and then he was personally sent out. This is really unbelievable."

"It seems that something must have happened when Palace Master Gongsun went to Hong's house in Bailu City this time. We have no way of guessing what exactly happened, but we can be sure that the Hong family has been deeply loved by Palace Master Gongsun. Pay attention, from now on, we have to build a good relationship with the Hong family."

"That's right, Old Ancestor Hong is already in his dying years and near the end of his lifespan. To put it bluntly, one foot has already stepped into the coffin. Such a person is of little use value to Palace Master Gongsun , and the Hong family...Although it is the largest family in Bailu City, looking at the three counties and nine cities of Qingzhou, there are few or even hundreds of rich and powerful families than the Hong family. Why is the Palace Master Gongsun? With such admiration for the Hong family, after we go back, we must investigate thoroughly."

Most of the ancestors sitting here are from Bailu City in Ueno County. They secretly communicated their spiritual senses and exchanged their ideas.

"My lord."

At this time, the Patriarch of the Bai family stood up, walked forward, and saluted Gongsun Yang with his fists clasped.

"Old Ancestor Bai, you are back. It just so happens that I have something to do with you."

Gongsun Yang glanced at the Patriarch of the Bai family, his attitude was indifferent, he walked slowly to the throne, sat down, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then raised his head to look at the Patriarch of the Bai family: "You swore before You said that Lin Yifan was forced into the tornado above Broken Sword Mountain by you and died, is there such a thing?"

"Have."

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Gongsun Yang's body, the patriarch of the Bai family felt terrified, and hurriedly bowed to respond: "It's absolutely true at this time, and I'm willing to guarantee it with the head of the item. But..."

"Oh?"

Before Patriarch Bai finished speaking, Gongsun Yang frowned, and immediately stretched out his hand to make a move. A silver-white long sword shot out, pointing directly at Patriarch Bai's forehead.

Feeling the fierce sword energy sweeping over, the patriarch of the Bai family turned pale with fright, and instinctively mobilized his spiritual power to resist.However, with scruples in his heart, he shot a lot slower.

At this moment, the long sword suddenly hovered in the air, and the sharp point of the sword was directly against the forehead of the ancestor of the Bai family.

Beads of sweat rolled down from the forehead of the Patriarch of the Bai family and hit the ground patter.

The sound was not loud, but it was particularly loud in the silent meeting hall.
