As soon as the members of the Hongguang Sect stepped off the flying boat, someone greeted them.
"Trouble you, brothers and sisters, to come here from a long distance. The city lord has already prepared a banquet in the main hall to welcome the brothers and sisters." Chang Shu's tone was full of sincerity, and the city lord's actions were also full of sincerity.
Someone came to deal with the strange incident in Yanzhou City, and the Zongmen will inform the tasker when he goes down the mountain.It is unknown when the missionaries will be able to resist Yanzhou. The city lord has 'already' prepared the banquet, probably since he received the news and has been preparing it every day.
"Senior brother, do we want to go to the city lord's banquet?" Shen Xinling's eyes flashed a little bit of brilliance.Shen Xinling knew very well that Lu Qingwu was most impatient with social occasions like banquets, and in his opinion, such occasions were meaningless.Lu Qingwu would not refuse similar occasions in the sect because he respected the elders, but he had no reason to participate in the banquet prepared by the city lord in front of him.
Not good at socializing, don't like to talk with people... These characteristics are not a shortcoming for most cultivators, but if they are the head of a sect, this is a weakness.Unless the sect is so strong that it doesn't need to pretend to others, and can act recklessly.
Obviously, Hong Guangzong is not among them.Hongguangzong is only the largest sect in Chonglan County. Above the county there is a state, and above the state there is a country. The country where Hongguangzong is located is not the only one.In the entire continent, sects like the Hongguang Sect are not to mention innumerable, but definitely a large number.
Chang Shu followed Shen Xinling's gaze and saw that Lu Qingwu's demeanor was even better than he had imagined.His aversion to some noisy occasions is probably even stronger.
Chang Shu had heard rumors about Lu Qingwu's aloofness before, although his indifference was beyond his imagination, he would not panic.As soon as I turned my head, I thought of a solution. "Brothers, you can fly into the sky and enter the earth. The supernatural powers are beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, the city lord has the household registrations of everyone in Yanzhou City, and the mortals under the city lord are also very familiar with Yanzhou City. They have collected a lot of information on missing people these days. The relatives of the missing person will participate in the banquet, and brothers and sisters can learn more details at the banquet, and you can also ask the relatives of the missing person if you have any doubts."
Hearing what Chang Shu said, Shen Xinling felt a little bit of surprise in her eyes.
Ordinary people are in awe of practitioners, but avoid evil cultivators.Don't talk about investigating things related to evil cultivators. When they encounter something related to evil cultivators, they can't wait to go as far as they can.In the past, there were some strange incidents in the city. At most, the city lord would investigate the incident at the beginning, and he would not intervene after confirming that it was the work of the cultivator. After processing, there will be no further intervention.
The city lord of Yanzhou City and the cultivators stationed in the city were not so courageous, which was beyond Shen Xinling's expectation.
Shen Xinling suggested to Lu Qingwu to help find out the information, the most important thing is about the missing person.The other women wanted to investigate, but they were not cultivated enough. Even if the evil cultivator showed some flaws, they probably wouldn't be able to feel it.Now that the city lord of Yanzhou City and the cultivators stationed in the city have done the work of searching for information, there is not much that other people can do to help Lu Qingwu.She had already made a promise before, if she really couldn't help, she would definitely look a little embarrassed.
"Well, lead the way." Lu Qingwu nodded.
Hearing Lu Qingwu's answer, Shen Xinling glanced at Chang Shu.Perhaps the accident in Yanzhou City had nothing to do with the unmasked city lord, but the bold and careful cultivators stationed in the city.
Since it was said to be a 'dust cleaning banquet', the city lord must have never thought of dealing with business at the dust cleaning banquet.Discussing official business at the 'Dust Cleansing Banquet' was obviously a decision Chang Shu had just made, and this decision also successfully achieved his goal, leading Lu Qingwu to the banquet.Similarly, it also prevented some of her small thoughts from being realized.
"This junior should be our Hongguang Sect outer disciple, right? I don't know who you studied under?" Shen Xinling followed behind Lu Qingwu, with a smile on her face, looking very casual.
"Disciple Chang Shu, under the tutelage of Elder Wang from the outer sect." There were rumors in the sect that Lu Qingwu and Shen Xinling were extremely close, and most of the people who took on the missions together were relatively close people.Chang Shu subconsciously felt that as long as he pleased Lu Qingwu, Shen Xinling would have no problem.When Chang Shu answered, he didn't have any worries.
"So it's Elder Wang's sect." Shen Xinling nodded.
There are elders in the inner door, and there are also elders in the outer door.The elders of the outer sect are some inner sect disciples who have been low in cultivation for many years and have not entered the country for many years.Although being able to enter the inner sect itself has a certain talent, but having talent does not mean that you can go far on the road of practice.Encountering a life-and-death crisis that hurts the foundation, or lack of mood... There are many possibilities that can stop a person's journey to immortality.
However, although he is already an elder of the outer sect, after all, he has entered the inner sect, so his vision will not be too low.Those who can be accepted as disciples by the elders of the outer sect always have their own merits.Shen Xinling couldn't tell the talent of the person in front of him at a glance, but he was good at dealing with people.
Chang Shu is a disciple of the elders of the outer sect, so it is not difficult to guess why Chang Shu is so concerned about what happened in Yanzhou City.
Hongguang Sect has many outer sect disciples, and most of them will choose to practice in the sect.Even though the outer gate is the thinnest place of Hongguangzong's aura, it is not known how much richer it is compared to the secular world.Ninety-nine out of ten outer disciples who choose to guard the city feel that their cultivation is hopeless. Compared with the boring cultivation in the sect, they hope to enjoy the power and status in the secular world in a limited time.Of course, there is also an extremely rare part that is for the soldiers to make dangerous moves, so as to find opportunities to enter the inner sect.
Like this time when Chang Shu met Lu Qingwu who came to Yanzhou City to do a mission, if he was chosen by Lu Qingwu as a registered disciple in some way, he could enter the inner sect as he wished.Most of the elders of the outer sect accept apprentices because they hope that the other party can enter the inner sect to find a backer, and he will follow suit and will never intervene.
Of course, this depends on the opportunity.If there have been no accidents in the city, you can't fabricate it at the risk of being discovered.
Chang Shu had this idea in mind, Yanzhou City was indeed a good place to garrison for him.Yanzhou City is on the edge of the Hongguang Sect's jurisdiction, adjacent to the jurisdiction of two other sects. If there is friction between the sects, Yanzhou City will be the first to have problems.Because it was far away from the Hongguang Sect, it would take some time for the sect to arrive if something happened in the city, and evil cultivators also like to attack in such a city.
After Shen Xinling figured this out, her dissatisfaction with Chang Shu dissipated a lot.There was a little more scrutiny in the eyes looking at Chang Shu, as if judging a valuable item.
Ming Jinghui noticed the change in Shen Xinling's gaze, and there was something more in his gaze towards Chang Shu.
After hearing Chang Shu's self-report, Lu Qingwu glanced at Ming Jinghui who seemed to be in deep thought.What happened in Yanzhou City is not recorded in the plot, but Chang Shu has a lot of pen and ink in the plot.There is a lot of pen and ink in the plot, which is naturally related to the protagonist.
As soon as Ming Jinghui raised his head, he met Lu Qingwu's gaze. Before he could react, Lu Qingwu had already looked at other people.Ming Jinghui tightened his palms slightly, his eyes followed Lu Qingwu's time movement.He had to admit that Lu Qingwu probably just wanted to see everyone's expressions at this moment.
Chang Shu's situation has indeed happened before, but not many.The poorer the cultivators are, the more they cherish time. For them, more time to practice may be a difference in realm, and for cultivators, realm is equivalent to lifespan.Not so many cultivators have the courage to break the boat like this.Such a situation is indeed rare, Lu Qingwu may also be a little curious, whether he can get what he wants.
"The main hall is in front, and the city lord has been waiting in the hall for a long time." Chang Shu sensed that several people were scrutinizing him, but he didn't show any gaffe on his face, he just tried his best to be himself.
"Yanling, the city lord of Yanzhou City, has seen all of you seniors." When Lu Qingwu and others landed in the city lord's mansion, the city lord and others were already waiting here.Now I saw it from a distance, and hurried to meet it.
Although it is also respectful, the respect of the city lord and others is very different from that of Chang Shu. The attitude of the city lord and others has clearly shown humility.If Chang Shu hadn't reminded them before, I'm afraid they would call Lu Qingwu and others "immortal" instead of "senior".
Chang Shu glanced at Lu Qingwu, seeing that he had no intention of speaking. "Senior brothers and sisters are still waiting to check the materials prepared by the city lord. This is not the time to care about the formalities."
It is true that the city lord and the others did not plan to discuss serious matters at the 'dust cleansing banquet', but relatives of the missing persons were indeed included in the invitation to this banquet, and the materials were prepared long ago.Changshu reminds me that someone will arrange it naturally.
"I've already prepared it, and I'll wait for you seniors." The city lord was taken aback for a moment, and then reflected.
"Okay." Lu Qingwu answered, raised his foot and continued to move forward, and the city lord and others in front of them quickly gave way.When Lu Qingwu walked in front of the city lord, he stopped and glanced at the people behind the city lord. "Are these relatives of the missing person?"
The city lord glanced at the people behind him, a little flustered on his face. "No, it's not. It's just that it's a rare opportunity to meet seniors. I made it my own initiative to let several main disciples and children of my knees also attend the banquet. Seniors, please don't blame me."
"A few young people around the city lord are his children, and most of the people on both sides are retainers. The relatives of the missing people are at the back. If the senior brother doesn't like this, I will arrange for irrelevant people to leave." Chang Shu first introduced Only then did they ask Lu Qingwu if he wanted them to leave.
"It's okay." Lu Qingwu glanced at everyone, turned his head and continued walking forward.
"Brother misunderstood that everyone is the relative of the missing person, so I'm a little worried, and you don't need to panic." Shen Xinling spoke to comfort her before leaving.
The city lord and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and followed them into the hall.
"Trouble you, brothers and sisters, to come here from a long distance. The city lord has already prepared a banquet in the main hall to welcome the brothers and sisters." Chang Shu's tone was full of sincerity, and the city lord's actions were also full of sincerity.
