After playing like this for a few rounds, Yang Ruoxi felt refreshed. She was about to enter the house when she saw that the door to the room was still open.
Shaking her head and sighing, Yang Ruoxi walked into the room and sorted out the things that had been messed up. But very quickly, her movements froze, her hands suddenly covered her head, and her face crumbled. "Heavens, what did I just give him … I actually gave him food?! "
At dusk, Hua Bin brought Cheng Qing's portrait to see the City Lord, Shen Bei Wang.
"City lord, it's been confirmed. The City Lord of Glazed City, Cheng Qing, is the Cheng Qing beside Yang Ruoxi!" Hua Bin handed over the portrait.
Shen Bei Wang's face lit up: "Since that's the case, then go and invite him to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow."
Hua Bin was stunned. "Directly invited?"
In their previous discussion, Huabin wanted to make contact with Cheng Qing and win his goodwill. At the same time, he wanted to confirm Cheng Qing's character and ability before inviting him to the City Lord's Mansion.
Shen Bei Wang sighed, with a solemn face: "The situation is too tense, we cannot afford to take one step at a time. "Talents like Cheng Qing need to make early decisions. When I see him tomorrow, I will know whether or not I should use him as an excuse."
When he heard the words "forced by the circumstances", Hua Bin's heart skipped a beat. He probed by asking, "What actions has the Qin family taken now?"
These years, the Qin family's strength had grown too fast, and it had already become a major threat to the Shen family's position as City Lord.
Recently, a spy from the City Lord's Mansion had even found out about Qin Zongguang and the fact that he was an elder of the Thousand Extinction Sect. His cultivation was incredibly high and was almost on par with Shen Bei Wang.
However, he had yet to find out about the other party's deal with the wolfman.
After all, the Shen family was a aristocratic family in the county city. Their overall strength was far greater than that of large organizations like the small pavilions with huge backgrounds. In addition, the small pavilion's main duties were intelligence and assassination, and it was said that there was an expert in the field.
Huabin was Shen Beiwang's trusted aide, so Shen Beiwei didn't want to hide it from him, so he told him all the information he just found out.
Hua Bin's expression changed as he said in a low voice, "The Qin family's wolf ambitions are obvious. If they didn't covet the City Lord's position, why would they hide an expert like Qin Zong Quan and have him set up a secret organization? Mayor, we have to respond. We must take the initiative, and then control the others. We cannot sit idly and watch the Qin family grow stronger! "
Shen Bei Wang sighed, "It's easier said than done. There was nothing wrong with the Qin family becoming stronger and coveting the position of City Lord. The Empire's system was after all the first family taking over the City Lord's position … As for Qin Zong Quan, even if we can find him, so what? After all, he didn't do anything bad, he didn't break the law, and we couldn't do anything to him. "
Hua Bin said hesitantly, "Then this matter …"
Shen Bei Wang looked anxious, "We can only consider it further."
Today, Cheng Qing finished his cultivation, took a walk around the street, had lunch with Yang Ruoxi, and then returned to the inn. As he entered, the waiter came to welcome him. "Young Master Chen, someone is looking for you."
Cheng Qing's heart skipped a beat. Who would come looking for him at this time?
"Who?" Cheng Qing asked without batting an eyelid.
"Yes, I am." A man with the appearance of a scholar stood up in front of a table at the side. He greeted Cheng Qing with a smile on his face, "Mister Chen, it's been a while. Do you still remember me?"
"Lord Hua?" Cheng Qing was slightly surprised. The man in front of him was the same civil servant that had registered when he went to the City Lord's Mansion to pay his military merits.
