What Jiang Yi was most worried about finally happened.
The study of the City Lord's Mansion is where Jiang Yi handles the affairs of Fen'an City, and the piled up affairs are dozens of times more than before.This is also a normal thing, and it will be like this every time you go to the Yunxiao Grand Competition.But this year's situation is really special. Jiang Yi felt that he was frightened when he read the reports on the situation in the city, for fear that Tianshu would suddenly go out and cause a big incident.You must know that the days of the Yunxiao Grand Competition are not far away, and the disciples of the Yunxiu Pavilion of the Qiongxiao Sect are about to leave for Fen'an City, let alone those small sects and casual cultivators, who are pouring into the city wave after wave If Fen'an City was not big enough, there would not be enough space to accommodate the extra people.
Looking at the subordinates in front of him, Jiang Yi's face remained calm, "Say it again."
"Go back to the city lord." The subordinate said, "Tianshu Zhenjun wants to see the city lord, saying that he has something important to discuss."
In fact, with Tianshu's strength and status, coupled with the fact that he has no power to take into account and his already bad reputation, he can't do anything even if he directly breaks into the study of the city lord's mansion.But he actually asked people to pass it on so politely, and said "I have something important to discuss"?
God, this scares him more than just barging in!Can he manage Fen'an City properly?
"... Let Zhenjun come here." Although Jiang Yi tried his best to maintain his complexion, the slight trembling sound after opening his mouth still revealed his emotions, "And... if Zhenjun feels tired, I..."
Jiang Yi thought for a while, and hurriedly retracted this sentence.
"Forget it, let Zhenjun come."
After all, he is also a city lord!There are still shelves that should be there!How decent is it to come to the door eagerly!Tian Shu didn't have any powerful background behind him, and the most frightening thing was his Nascent Soul cultivation base and formation skills.
……
Well, these two points alone are enough to hold him down.
After all, Zhou Qiran saved face for the city lord, and didn't let him go to find him, but he took the initiative to come to the study to see the city lord.
The moment he opened the door, Jiang Yi seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
Twitching and twitching, for fear that the person opposite would do something out of the ordinary.
"The city lord..." Zhou Qiran opened his mouth, but Jiang Yi, who was opposite him, trembled all over.
"True Monarch, please speak!" Jiang Yidao, trying his best to open his eyes wide to show his seriousness.
"Oh, don't be so excited." Seeing this, Zhou Qiran smiled and said, "I want to ask, when will Master Zhuo An come to Fen'an City?"
"This." Jiang Yi frowned, seemed to relax a little, and said, "The disciples of the Qiongxiao faction will leave in the near future, and they will arrive soon. Zhenjun wants to find the head of Zhuo An?"
"Yes." Zhou Qiran looked very leisurely, "I have nothing to do these few days, so I studied the rules of the Yunxiao Competition in the room. Then I found a way to make the Yunxiao Competition more exciting. Come here now It is to ask Zhuo An when the head will arrive, so that I can discuss it with him."
Jiang Yi's heart twitched.
Sure enough, there is a prelude to something to happen!
The rules of Yunxiao Dabi have not changed much over the years. At most, the rules that are prone to imbalance are adjusted to increase the attention.But he always felt that with the personality of this Tianshu Zhenjun, if he really needed to adjust it, that would not be "fine-tuning"!
"This... such a major event needs to be discussed by the owner of the Yunxiu Pavilion and the head of Zhuo An, and then discussed by the various sects, right? Now the Yunxiao Competition is about to start, and if we modify the rules, those contestants will also respond Don't come!" After finishing speaking, Jiang Yi tentatively said, "Why don't you, Zhenjun...discuss with the head Zhuo An about the rule changes for the next Yunxiao Competition?"
"No, just fine-tune the rules and add some highlights." Zhou Qiran smiled, "If the head of Zhuo An agrees, those small sects dare not have any opinions."
That's right, after all, the Qiongxiao Sect and Yunxiu Pavilion are the leaders in holding the Yunxiao Competition. As the leaders of the Qiongxiao Sect, if Zhuo An wants to propose any changes, how can those small sects dare to disagree?
But it is estimated that only Zhenjun Tianshu would say such a thing in front of Jiang Yi, the lord of the city.
Jiang Yi tried to persuade him again, "Then we have to invite Pavilion Master Yu to come over and discuss together..."
"I'm not familiar with her." Zhou Qiran said, "So I think it's enough to talk to Zhuo An.
The end is a school of self-confidence.
Jiang Yi only felt his face twitch a little, and hurriedly said, "Then Zhenjun already knows that the master will come to Fen'an City soon, please go back and wait."
Originally, he thought that this would invite the great god back to the courtyard, but he didn't expect Zhou Qiran to reveal his real purpose for coming here.
"You have a way to contact Zhuo An, right?" Zhou Qiran frowned, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but in Jiang Yi's eyes, that little move was completely "kill you if you don't tell the truth", so he said tremblingly.
"Have……"
"Then remember to inform Zhuo An for me, and tell him to come earlier, otherwise the details of the rules may not be discussed in time."
You know, in order to show the dignity and reserve of the sect, the teams from Yunxiu Pavilion and Qiongxiao Sect all arrived a few days before the start of the competition, leaving a day or two for rest before starting the competition.
If it is fine-tuning the rules, it doesn't take much time to discuss the details.Sure enough, Tianshu's "fine-tuning" was just talking casually, he simply wanted to change the rules drastically!
Jiang Yin obediently agreed.
After sending Tianshu away, Jiang Yiruan collapsed on his chair.
"This Yunxiao competition... I'm afraid it will be exciting to watch."
But he just wanted to get through it in peace and stability, so the excitement and the like would be avoided!
Originally, Jiang Yi also wanted to look forward to Zhuo An, the head of the Qiongxiao faction, being able to reject the idea of Tianshu Zhenjun.After all, speaking of it, Tianshu is just a guest, which is equivalent to giving the audience the best viewing position, and cannot participate in the competition of the Yunxiao Competition.Without the consent of Zhuo An and the owner of the Yunxiu Pavilion, he would not be able to make any disturbances if he wanted to. At most, he should be more careful to prevent the real monarch from running around.
But this breath was not completely relieved, Jiang Yi remembered something, and immediately took another breath-this Tianshu was invited by Zhuo An himself!
The head of Zhuo An seems to appreciate Tianshu's temperament!
Jiang Yi didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly responded to Zhou Qiran's request and passed the news to Zhuo An.
Zhuo An didn't seem to expect that Tianshu would suddenly propose to modify the rules.But thinking about it being Tianshu after all, he became a little interested-he said it would make the game more exciting?
With Tianshu's temperament, what idea would he come up with?
"What's wrong with my husband? Could it be that something happened to Fen'an?" Mrs. Zhuo An happened to pass by, wondering.
"Let's set off early this year." Zhuo An said, "Or I set off first, and those disciples wait until the day is up before setting off.
"Why so suddenly?" Mrs. Zhuo An walked over slowly, "Is there something wrong with Zhenjun Tianshu?"
"Almost." Zhuo An didn't avoid Mrs. Zhuo An, and responded, "He said he wanted to change the rules of the Yunxiao Competition to make the competition more interesting."
"But the Yunxiao Grand Competition still needs something to watch?" Mrs. Zhuo An was surprised, "Every time the Yunxiao Grand Competition is not just casual cultivators vying to show themselves in the contest to gain acceptance or fame in the sect, and then we sects Disciple competition?"
"Because it's like this every time, after a few times, I'm a little tired."
The Qiongxiao faction is different from those small sects that lack people or elite disciples. There are very few casual cultivators that can make Zhuo An look up to.After all, in his opinion, becoming a casual cultivator is basically due to such and other deficiencies. People who are really talented and qualified will enter the major sects from the very beginning.Of course, except for Tianshu who obviously doesn't want to join the sect.For him, the previous period of Yunxiao Dabi was actually very boring, watching those people wrestle into a ball like crickets, it was really difficult to find joy.
Inviting Tianshu to the Cloud Competition also has some selfish motives of his own. If it gets boring, why not chat with Tianshu for a while and evaluate the people on the field, right?
What's more, their Qiongxiao Sect and Yunxiu Pavilion compete for the final ranking every year.As if it was agreed, the top ten of each year, the people who can stay are basically three Qiongxiao sects, three Yunxiu pavilions, and after that, they are all elite disciples of other small sects. There is basically no big difference in the proportion.
Therefore, whoever has more disciples in the top five will be more proud.
It is also a little fun of the Yunxiao Dabi.
I and the owner of the Yunxiu Pavilion are also the kind of people who know the basics, and the evaluation of the other party's disciples will definitely not be too objective.So Zhuo An wanted to invite Tianshu, the third person, to come over and see his evaluation.
The new generation is basically the cornerstone of the future of the sect.There are some things that maybe Tianshu, a casual cultivator, can give some pointers.
But Zhuo An didn't expect that before the competition started, Tianshu would be gearing up and ready to give some advice.Zhuo An was quite interested in what he said could make Dabi more interesting.
"...Then husband, you can decide for yourself." Mrs. Zhuo An said, "Proceed with caution."
"Ah."
Here, Zhuo An had just decided to go to Fen'an City to discuss the change of the rules, and Zhou Qiran was already gearing up in the courtyard.
"System, I think this is very good." Zhou Qiran said leisurely, in front of him was his general idea of modifying the rules.
【...After listening to your thoughts, it seems that it has no other purpose except to make the contestants fight more intensely. 】
"It's only fun when it's more intense." Zhou Qiran said, "System, let me tell you, I've never participated in this kind of competition. I don't lack those prizes. Intrigue, let go of everything and fight a battle."
【…】
"So I used to think that it would be great if these relatively small 'big competitions' could change the rules, at least they wouldn't be as boring as they are now. The Eastern Territory Grand Competition held by those sects of the Danyang Sect can open the secret realm and let the It's much more fun for the contestants to go in, just like playing a battle royale. But this Yunxiao Dabi is a bit tepid, let's not force them to set up a secret realm for the competition—that is the level of magic weapon processing. Now Those casual cultivators are not so much fighting as they are performing."
[Then why didn't you do it before? 】
"Forgot." Zhou Qiran said very simply, "I want to do so many things, how can I remember everything."
[How about the current Yunxiao Grand Competition to stimulate the fighting spirit of those casual cultivators? 】
"Not good." Zhou Qiran snorted softly, as if he was in a good mood.
[According to your action data, you only became interested in modifying the rules after you heard me remind you that the ball is in Fen'an City, and you have studied it for a few days-your direction is mainly to stimulate those scattered Xiu's fighting spirit. 】
"So." Zhou Qiran spread his hands, with a half-smile on his face.
[You are deliberately adding obstacles to the ball. 】
"..."
[According to the data, Xiaoqiu's current cultivation base is in the Qi Refining level of the Yunxiao Grand Competition, so it is not difficult to get a good result. 】
In the original book, Qiu Boyu's reputation at this time is not obvious, and his cultivation level is also mediocre. At first glance, he looks like the kind of casual cultivator who comes to the Yunxiao Competition to mess around, and not many people pay attention to it.So when he reached the final round as a dark horse, many people were surprised.
And now... I'm afraid that if he shows his cultivation level a little bit, someone will put him in the group of people who are "very likely to reach the final stage".
In the original book, a small ball with a low level of cultivation can make it to the finals. Now that the level of cultivation is high, it is not like beating a child.
"I just added more obstacles." Zhou Qiran said deeply, "Fortunately, misfortune depends on it, and misfortune depends on blessing. A road that is too smooth is not good. I just let him increase the possibility of growth."
【Actually, you are just venting your displeasure. 】
"..."
"System." Zhou Qiran remained expressionless, "Don't you think you talk too much?"
【Thanks for the compliment, I think it's okay. 】
[I found that although I can't interpret your psychological data, it is quite interesting to analyze your action intentions based on your action data. 】
"So now you are equivalent to staring at my daily actions every day, observing where I go and what I do?"
【Yes. 】
"System, do you know a term?"
[What noun? 】
"Idiot."
Zhou Qiran paused word by word.
The study of the City Lord's Mansion is where Jiang Yi handles the affairs of Fen'an City, and the piled up affairs are dozens of times more than before.This is also a normal thing, and it will be like this every time you go to the Yunxiao Grand Competition.But this year's situation is really special.
