Cultivation of Immortality: After practicing martial arts for a hundred years in the mortal world, y
Chapter 20: Asking for forgiveness
"The deputy city lord of Qianshan City?"
"This is a big shot."
Hearing the sound outside the door, Li Dayong looked surprised and said.
"Big shot? How big can he be? Isn't he just a deputy city lord?"
Linger blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
In her opinion, even if the city lord of Qianshan City comes before her master, he is not considered a big shot.
"Dayong, do you know this person?"
Zhao Wu looked at Li Dayong and asked.
He has hardly stepped out of Wuzong in these years. He knew the Lord of Qianshan City before, but he had never even heard of the Deputy City Lord Han Bai.
"Replying to Master, I once heard my father mention him."
"This person is from the Han family, a thousand-year-old family in Langya Immortal City. He was parachuted into the city lord of Qianshan City five years ago, and it is said that he is very likely to take over the position of lord of Qianshan City in the near future."
Li Dayong briefly explained what he knew.
"Langya Immortal City? Han Family?"
Ling'er blinked her beautiful eyes, hearing these two names for the first time.
"Senior Sister Ling'er, you may not have any idea about Langya Immortal City and the Han family. Let me tell you this."
"Qianshan City is very big, right? It has a population of more than 300,000, and there are various forces cultivating immortals, big and small."
"And Langya Immortal City is worth five Thousand Mountain Cities, or even seven or eight Thousand Mountain Cities, with a population of more than two million. Even the weakest one among their immortal cultivating forces is enough to crush thousands of them. Any immortal cultivating family in the mountain city!"
"And the Han family is one of the top six thousand-year-old families in Langya Immortal City."
Li Dayong saw Ling'er's doubts and continued to explain.
"So powerful!"
Ling'er was a little surprised. She had never left Qianshan City, so naturally she didn't know that the outside world was more magnificent than she imagined.
"It turns out he is a member of the Han family in Langya Immortal City."
"Let him in."
Zhao Wu said calmly.
A moment later, a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing came to the Wuzong Hall under the leadership of Li Dayong.
"Han Bai, I have met Old Sect Master Zhao."
Looking at Zhao Wu, who was dressed in green and had silver hair, Han Bai greeted him politely with a flattering smile on his face.
After he learned that the Wang family had knelt down, he could no longer maintain his composure and rushed to Wuzong immediately.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhao Wu glanced at him and said expressionlessly.
"Old Sect Master Zhao, I have heard of your name for a long time since I took up my post in Qianshan City."
"It's a pity that I have been busy with official duties and have never been able to take time to visit your old man."
"I came here this time and specially brought some gifts. I hope you can accept them."
As Han Bai spoke, he took out three wooden boxes from the storage bag on his body.
Han Bai opened the first wooden box, which was filled with shiny spiritual stones.
At a rough glance, there are at least more than three thousand pieces of spiritual stones. In addition to the spiritual stones, the other two wooden boxes contain two or three century-old ginseng plants as thick as arms. Each plant can add several years to the life of ordinary people. Even if elderly warriors cannot live longer after taking it, it can slow down the rate of aging to a certain extent.
It is no exaggeration to say that the gifts Han Bai brought were full of sincerity!
"A lot of spiritual stones and century-old ginseng."
Ling'er's big eyes were bright, he was so generous, he brought so many gifts to her for the first time.
"A century-old ginseng as thick as an arm, and five or six of them are sold at once. It's really rich."
Li Dayong was also amazed. Even his cheap father, as the richest man in Qianshan City, would find it difficult to gather so much century-old ginseng in one go.
Not only is this thing priceless, it's also hard to find.
"A little kindness, please accept it, Old Sect Master Zhao."
Han Bai kept his posture very low and said to Zhao Wu in a flattering manner.
Seeing Han Bai, the deputy city lord of Qianshan City, who was so flattering to him, Zhao Wu showed no expression on his face and his reaction was very cold.
"Did you ask someone to take back the guest token?"
Zhao Wu glanced at him and asked.
He and the other party had never interacted before, but now the other party suddenly came to find him and brought so many gifts to please him. Then there was only one possibility. The previous order to take away the guest's token was the deputy of Qianshan City in front of him. The arrangement of the city lord Han Bai.
Hearing this, Han Bai's face froze, but he quickly squeezed out a smile and explained: "Old Sect Master Zhao, even if you don't ask, I still want to explain this matter to you."
Having said this, he turned to look outside the hall, shouted coldly at the outside, and said: "Come in quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and stern man walked straight into the hall.
"Mu Xiao, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, apologizes to Old Sect Master Zhao."
After entering the hall, the man knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said to Zhao Wu.
He had personally brought people to Wuzong before and forcefully took back Zhao Wu's guest token. Less than a day had passed before Wu Zong came to kneel in front of Zhao Wu again and apologized to the latter.
"It's this guy. He was the one who took back our master's guest token last time."
After seeing that it was Mu Xiao, Ling'er's cheeks bulged with anger.
"I also remember that the last time this person came to Wuzong, wasn't he awesome!"
Next to him, Li Dayong also groaned.
"Old Sect Master Zhao, Mu Xiao led someone to take back your guest token without my knowledge."
"He committed an irreparable crime, so I personally escorted him here today to plead guilty to you."
Han Bai looked solemn and said seriously.
Hearing Han Bai's words, Zhao Wu sneered in his heart. Without the other party's instructions, and with his status as the commander of the Xuanjia Army, Mu Xiao dared to take away his guest token privately?
The other party didn't want to expose it, so naturally Zhao Wu didn't bother to expose it.
Looking at Mu Xiao kneeling in front of him, Zhao Wu was silent for a moment before speaking: "Commander Mu, didn't you say I was old last time? It is no longer my time."
"Then why are you kneeling in front of me now?"
Zhao Wu asked with a calm voice.
Hearing this, Mu Xiao looked a little ugly, knowing that Zhao Wu was deliberately trying to embarrass him, but he looked at Han Bai next to him and could only show weakness and said: "Old Sect Leader Zhao, I was rude last time, please forgive me. Remember the bad guys."
"I am here to formally apologize to you."
After saying that, he suppressed the unwillingness and anger in his heart and lowered his head.
As the commander-in-chief of Qianshan City's Xuanjia Army, Mu Xiao's attitude was very low, and it could even be said that he had lost his dignity.
"Old Sect Master Zhao, Mu Xiao sincerely apologizes to you."
"Please forgive him for once."
Han Bai spoke at the right moment and reminded Mu Xiao: "Commander Mu, you haven't returned the guest token to Old Sect Master Zhao yet."
Mu Xiao understood the idea, took out the guest token, and respectfully presented it to Zhao Wu.
"Option one, accept the other party's apology and reward you with a high-grade magic weapon."
"Option two, reject the other party's apology and reward the person by improving his current level."
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Zhao Wu's mind.
Zhao Wu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the system would give options at this moment.
"Old Sect Master Zhao..."
Seeing that Zhao Wu was still indifferent, Han Bai laughed sarcastically, and the meaning was self-evident.
Mu Xiao lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Zhao Wu's eyes.
"There's no reason to return something you want to go back to."
"Commander Mu, let's go."
Zhao Wu spoke calmly, without even looking at Mu Xiao, and directly rejected his apology.
Mu Xiao's body stiffened and he was a little at a loss.
"Old Sect Leader Zhao, I come from the Han family in Langya Immortal City. The family hopes that I will have more contact with you and learn from you the unyielding martial arts spirit of the past."
"If you feel dissatisfied, feel free to ask."
Seeing that Zhao Wu did not accept Mu Xiao's apology, Han Bai frowned, suppressed his smile, and spoke like this.
What he means is, I come from the Han family in Langya City. It's already good to let my subordinates take the blame and apologize to you. Don't be shameless.
As Zhao Wu, who has been in the world of immortality for many years, he can naturally hear the meaning of Han Bai's words.
He raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a smile, and said: "Deputy City Lord Han, are you using the Han family to suppress me?"
"Don't dare."
Han Bai smiled bitterly and quickly denied it.
"Since Deputy City Lord Han asked me to make a request, my request is also very simple."
"My favorite thing to do for someone who is arrogant and disrespectful is to give him a big mouth."
Zhao Wu thought for a while and said calmly.
"Commander Mu."
Hearing Zhao Wu's words, Han Bai quickly gave Mu Xiao a wink.
"I, Mu Xiao, am willing to be slapped by Old Sect Master Zhao."
Mu Xiao's expression was extremely ugly, but he still had the courage to say so.
"My slap is very heavy. Commander Mu, you have to be careful."
Zhao Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately raised his palms high.
Mu Xiao took a deep breath and took the initiative to raise his cheeks. Although he was very angry and unwilling in his heart, he was still prepared to endure everything silently due to Han Bai's order.
Ling'er and Li Dayong's eyes widened, with a hint of excitement on their faces. The master is so awesome. He wants to give the commander of the Xuanjia Army a big mouth in front of the deputy city lord of Qianshan City. .
Ah!
Under the gaze of the two men, Zhao Wu's palm suddenly smacked down, and a figure was slapped so hard that he vomited blood and flew away.
Mu Xiao closed his eyes and waited quietly for Zhao Wu's slap to fall, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel the slightest pain.
It wasn't until he heard a scream that he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that Han Bai, who was standing behind him, flew away more than ten meters away, with bright palm marks on his face!
"Zhao Wu!"
Han Bai covered his cheek and looked at Zhao Wu angrily, his eyes almost spitting fire!
"Sorry, I accidentally missed it."
Zhao Wu showed an innocent expression and explained perfunctorily.
Of course it was not accidentally hit just now, but Zhao Wu did it deliberately.
"you……"
Han Bai was furious and wanted to explode directly, but after seeing Zhao Wu's playful and cold eyes, he immediately regained his composure.
He knew that if he took action at this moment, he might not be Zhao Wu's opponent, so he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I, Han Bai, and the Han family have recorded this account today."
"let's go!"
After saying that, he picked up the things, called Mu Xiao and turned around to leave.
The slap just now meant that Zhao Wu did not accept the apology at all, and there was no point in continuing to compromise and show weakness.
"Ding, the host selection is successful, and the reward will increase the current small realm."
At this moment, another system notification sounded in Zhao Wu's mind.
A huge amount of energy poured into Zhao Wu's body, allowing him to rush directly from the original perfect state of the innate state to the early stage of the martial arts master state!
In an instant, Zhao Wu could clearly feel that his body was filled with almost infinite power!
Because it was a natural process, Zhao Wu's breakthrough did not produce many changes, nor did it leak the slightest strength.
"Master, you are really awesome."
"That's a member of the Han family, and you slapped him without hesitation."
After the two of them left the hall, Li Dayong couldn't hold it in any longer and said with admiration on his face.
"Our master was once a human martial saint, so what's the point of slapping him?"
Linger said matter-of-factly.
Zhao Wu silently experienced the changes brought about by his improvement in realm, and ignored the compliments of his two apprentices for the time being.
Seeing Zhao Wu's silence, Ling'er and Li Dayong looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say and mistakenly thought that their master was not in a good mood.
