"Greetings Master Chen. I am Zhou Family's Patriarch, Zhou Mingyi."
"Master Chen is truly heroic and extraordinary. One look and you can tell that he is a young hero. No wonder he was able to defeat Li Kuanglan. I am Qian Chao, the Qian family's patriarch."
Cheng Qing walked straight to the seat of honor and sat down. During this time, Li Muzhao gave him a glance, which was very simple, but was mixed with a smug expression. It was obvious that Zhou Mingyi and Qian Qizhao were here not to cause trouble, but to express their goodwill.
As expected, as soon as Cheng Qing sat down, Li Muhao handed over two red paper sticks, "Reporting to Sect Leader, the two Patriarchs have prepared a great gift this time. This is a gift slip."
Cheng Qing took it over and was slightly surprised. It wasn't that the gifts from the two families were too light, but too heavy. There were all kinds of magic tools, pills, treasures, jewelry, and roughly a few hundred thousand spirit stones. Even though the two clans were well-off, their annual income would not exceed a million Spirit Stones. With this, they took out more than half of it.
Cheng Qing put down the gift slip and cupped his hands in thanks. With an indifferent smile, he said, "I am ashamed of the two Patriarchs' love."
"As long as Master Chen doesn't mind."
"As long as Master Chen likes it, we are happy."
When Cheng Qing asked them to sit down, neither of them dared to sit down. They only dared to sit next to each other to show their respect and reverence. The two dignified Patriarchs of the two clans acted as though they were the younger generation, acting very restrained and reserved in front of Cheng Qing.
Zhou Mingyi and Qian Yu were not to be blamed for this. After the two of them received the report from their spies and learned of the outcome of the battle at the City Lord's Mansion, they became more and more fearful. In just half a day, they had annihilated the Zhao Family and the Li Family, and even Li Kuanglan, who was at the Xumi Stage, was unable to injure Cheng Qing.
As long as Cheng Qing was willing, the Zhou and Qian Families were just fishes on the chopping block, they could be slaughtered at any time. In this Liu-Li City, where the strong were revered, this was not just talk.
The first person they saw was Li Muhao. He was young, yet he treated people with great care, and he had an unordinary bearing, not like a commoner on the streets. When they saw Cheng Qing, he was even more indifferent; even after looking at two gifts, his eyebrows didn't twitch, not to mention losing his composure.
One had to know that the combined value of these two gifts was more than a million Spirit Stones. When this legendary youth saw this, he was actually so calm. This caused Zhou Mingyi and Qiankun to be amazed, and they no longer dared to look at him like a poor boy.
Cheng Qing said faintly, "The two heads of the family came specially not for the gift, right?"
Qian Mo and Zhou Mingyi looked at each other before leaving their seats at the same time. They bowed in the hall and said loudly, "Sect Master Chen, please be the City Lord of Liu-Li!"
Li Muhao's eyes lit up, his face beaming with joy as he turned to look at Cheng Qing, waiting for him to agree.
Cheng Qing's expression was calm. If he did not become the City Lord, no one else would dare to become the City Lord.
With the first support of the Zhou and Qian Families, Cheng Qing would be the City Lord, which was only natural. No one would disagree with this decision, and if they did not invite him now, when Cheng Qing took over the position himself, he would be unhappy with them, and they would settle the score.
