System of Heavenly Dao Senior Brother

Chapter 22 Cangming City Lord

Qin Xiao wanted to put away the cloak before going out, but was stopped by Qi Huanzhi.

"I don't know what's going to happen later, it's better to dress more safely." Qi Huanzhi said calmly.

Whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend is unknown. If there is any change at that time, it is always good to have an extra layer of protection.

Even if he couldn't, Qin Xiao looked good in clothes anyway, so there would be no loss.

Qin Xiao didn't have any idea about it, but since Qi Huanzhi said so, he just put it on.

"This dagger..." Seeing that the two forgot to take back the dagger that was given to her earlier, Tong Fuer hastily called them to stop.

"Here you are." Qi Huanzhi glanced at Qin Xiao, seeing that he pretended not to hear and didn't look back, so he knew it was intentional.

This senior brother is really rude, always giving away his junior brother's things as his own.

Even so, Qi Huanzhi was quite happy in his heart.This at least shows that their relationship is very close.

This short sword is a magic weapon, small and exquisite but extremely sharp, and there are several protective formations on it, it is really useful for this little girl.

"Two elders." Seeing the two coming out, Xin Wenyan went up to meet them.Suddenly seeing Qin Xiao wearing a big cloak, he was startled, and then became more respectful.

Although he didn't know much, he also knew that the cloak was not ordinary, it could be called a treasure.

And the person who can own such a thing will not be just an idle field cultivator as he thought before.I'm afraid that behind the other party, there are either those cultivation sects or aristocratic families.

With this relationship, Xin Wenyan is naturally more humble.

.

Cangming City is huge, and the City Lord's Mansion is also magnificent.

Not to mention other things, the outer wall alone is five meters high, and there are many crenels on the side of the wall, where you can shoot arrows and look out.On the watchtowers on both sides of the city gate, there are always people in charge of patrolling.

What's even more exaggerated is that there are no other residences or businesses on this entire street, only the City Lord's Mansion, which is located here alone.

"When the city lord took over Cangming City, the city lord's mansion already looked like this." Xin Wenyan took the initiative to explain, as if worried about the prejudice between the two of them.

He also knows that outsiders generally feel that the hostile impression of the City Lord's Mansion is too domineering, and they would rather leave such a large area around than allow ordinary people to approach.

"This Cangming City used to be a battleground for military strategists, and this City Lord's Mansion was the last line of defense in the entire Cangming City. For the sake of the future, the City Lord kept this City Lord's Mansion." He continued.

Qi Huanzhi understood the other party's intention and nodded, but did not answer.

Before approaching, the heavy mahogany gate of the City Lord's Mansion creaked and slowly opened.

"In Jiangchengzi, Xia Cangming City, the two immortal elders have come here. I have lost my way, and please forgive me." The person who came was a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s. The gown is embroidered with a very conspicuous blessing pattern with complicated silver thread, with a smile on his face, and the voice comes first before the person arrives.

In Qin Xiao's view, the other party is not like a city lord, but a businessman.It was only when he got closer that he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the other party.

Although this Cangming City Lord looks fatter, his movements are very clean and neat, his breathing is gentle and powerful, his steps are very light, and his breath is also gentle and soft.

Judging by the knowledge Qi Huanzhi taught him, the other party is at least a master of external skills, and may even be a fellow.

Qin Xiao's cultivation was too low, so he just made a rough guess.But Qi Huanzhi was different. He had dealt with all kinds of external skills masters and immortal cultivators since he was a child, so he could tell at a glance that the other party had not only entered the threshold of Taoism, but was also only one step away from establishing a foundation.

It is said to be one step away, but many people are stuck at this threshold for a lifetime.

And the Cangming City Lord is just like that.After all, he is already middle-aged, if he can make further progress, he will not have reached the foundation building state by now.

Presumably, it was because of this reason that the other party chose to be a city lord in the mundane world instead of concentrating on hard work.

The two were looking at Jiang Chengzi, and of course Jiang Chengzi was secretly evaluating the two of them in his heart.

He has been the city lord for half his life, and his ability to observe people is first-class.Even Qi Huanzhi didn't realize that the other party actually made a judgment the moment he saw him.

Needless to say, Qi Huanzhi was a success in cultivating immortality.Young talents, understandable.

But Qin Xiao, who was only in his teens, was a little confused by Jiang Chengzi.Of course he could see that the other party was also an immortal cultivator, but when did there become so many geniuses?But a kid in his teens can't even see through the opponent's realm?

And the other party seems to have a lot of money.

Jiang Chengzi did not hide his curiosity and admiration for the cloak that Qin Xiao was wearing.But it is also closely related to curiosity and envy, and there is absolutely no trace of greed in it.

If he wanted to, he could actually pretend that he didn't see anything. The reason why he wanted to show off was to lower the opponent's defense.

After all, a fat man with a simple mind is much more likable than a city lord who hides his secrets.

Jiang Chengzi is a smart person, and he has always known his own advantages, otherwise, he might not be the one who lives in the city lord's mansion now.

Jiang Chengzi was actually very clear about how much he weighed.Although when he met a cultivator, he called him the elder, and when he saw someone who was stronger than him, he called himself a junior.But in fact, he also knows that there are not so many people who can reach his step.

Of course, the bigger reason is that those talented people have long been recruited by the major sects of cultivating immortals, and they have no time to appear in front of him at all.

It was precisely because of this that he became more curious about the identities of the two.

"Qin Xiao of the Heavenly Dao Sect, this is my junior brother." Qin Xiao cupped his hands in a dignified manner, and spoke before Qi Huanzhi said, "I don't know if the city lord specially asked someone to invite us here. What's the matter?"

The other party came up and asked to report their names, and they had to go back because of emotion and reason.But Qin Xiao was worried that Qi Huanzhi would accidentally say his own name, so he had to introduce himself first.

Qi Huanzhi guessed what Qin Xiao was thinking, and couldn't help but looked at him and smiled knowingly.

After all, the Leihuo Sword Sect might still be sending people to chase them down. If they left their real names, they might be detected by the other party.

Seeing that the younger Qin Xiao came out to speak, Jiang Chengzi was also a little surprised, but he concealed it very well, and said with a smile: "This matter is a long story, the two of you go in and talk first, so that I can offer you two A cup of tea will not lose courtesy.”

Jiang Chengzi spoke very politely, besides, Qin Xiao and the others had already come, so they wouldn't ask to leave at the door, so he readily agreed.

"Why does the city lord need to be so polite? We are all cultivators, so if you have anything to say, just say it." Qi Huanzhi asked directly not long after he sat down.

He already had doubts about the fact that the city lord was an immortal cultivator, but when he saw that the tea that the other party served was spiritual tea, he couldn't help but also became suspicious.

Seeming to see what Qi Huanzhi was thinking, Jiang Chengzi smiled wryly, signaling his subordinates to back down, while he stood up and made a confession.

"The junior is indeed asking for something." No one else was around, so Jiang Chengzi called himself a junior.

The two cups of spiritual tea he offered just now were not just to replenish the other party's spiritual power.And he didn't call himself a junior to everyone.

He had tried this tea long ago, and it was impossible for him to drink it without changing his expression if he had not attained a level above the Foundation Establishment Stage.Even he himself didn't dare to drink too much just now, for fear that his spiritual power would hit his face, and it would be too small to show his ugly face, and the two immortal elders would see something, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

But what surprised him was that no matter whether it was the boy or the child, they drank half a glass without changing their faces.

Ah, no.

Glancing at Qin Xiao again, Jiang Chengzi silently corrected in his heart, the kid just drank the whole cup straight away.

Jiang Chengzi was proud of his silent detection method, but he didn't know that those two people who could perceive spiritual power were indeed above the foundation building stage, while the other one couldn't feel anything at all. of.

Qin Xiao really didn't drink any spiritual energy from the spiritual tea just now, he just drank it as ordinary tea.

As for worrying about taking medicine, Qin Xiao said, since Qi Huanzhi drank it all, what else did he have to worry about?

Regarding these, Jiang Chengzi knew nothing.So he carefully took out a red envelope from his arms, and handed it over respectfully—to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and was slow to realize that this Jiang Chengzi regarded himself as the leader.He couldn't help but glanced at Qi Huanzhi proudly.

Receiving his shining little eyes, Qi Huanzhi didn't laugh out of face, but slightly bent the corners of his mouth.

As soon as he opened the envelope, Qin Xiao regretted it a little.

He knows the traditional characters, and he can guess the ones he doesn't know.The typesetting is from right to left, reading up and down, even if it is awkward, he can read it slowly.

But he couldn't bear the wording of this article full of classical Chinese.

Gently closing the letter, Qin Xiao adjusted his unchanging demeanor and asked softly, "What do you want us to do?"

Probably because he was too guilty, his voice was much softer than before.As he spoke, he pretended not to care and handed the letter to Qi Huanzhi next to him.

When Jiang Chengzi saw the other party's inquiry, he was overjoyed: he hurriedly explained: "I am not qualified for this matter, even if I have this invitation. But if the two seniors can go with the junior, then it is not a problem gone."

Qin Xiao was in a fog when he heard it, and he didn't dare to agree easily, so he could only look at Qi Huanzhi.

Qi Huanzhi quickly scanned the content, and smiled softly: "We went down the mountain to practice, and it's rare that the city lord can get the post of the trade fair. It would be a pity if we missed it."

He paused and continued: "It's just that I don't know why the city owner can get this letter since he is not qualified enough?"

Seeing that there was hope, Jiang Chengzi couldn't help being overjoyed: "The two elders don't know something. I spent a lot of money to get this invitation. Moreover, I also contacted a senior before. I went there, but for some reason, I suddenly changed my mind not long ago..."

Hearing this, Qi Huanzhi was a little relieved. He nodded to Qin Xiao, but didn't speak.

Qin Xiao said at the right time: "Since that's the case, there's no harm in going there."

Where Jiang Chengzi couldn't see, Qin Xiao quietly gave Qi Huanzhi a thumbs up.

This junior brother really made him, a senior brother, look good.
