Soon, the dozens of cruisers landed in the simple airport of Divine Armament New City. Wang Baole was the host, and the guests were his juniors, as well as many of his senior brothers and sisters. Naturally, he had to welcome them personally.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of a large number of Ethereal Dao College disciples who had alighted from the cruisers. When they saw him, their eyes were filled with fanaticism and adoration as they stepped forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
"Greetings, City Lord!" Wang Baole had different statuses for different people. Although everyone's voices were different, they were equally awe-inspiring and spread in all directions.
Wang Baole was also excited. He felt that he was very popular in the Dao College. There were so many people who liked him, especially many of them were his juniors. Therefore, Wang Baole was even more confident in his looks and figure.
Just as he was about to go forward and hug his juniors, Liu Daobin rushed over with tears streaming down his face. Before he could even approach Wang Baole, his agitated voice that surpassed everyone else's could be heard, drowning the entire venue.
"Senior Brother Baole, I missed you. I missed you so much!" Liu Daobin was trembling uncontrollably. He stepped forward and hugged Wang Baole's thigh, his body trembling with excitement. This moved Wang Baole. Even the people around Wang Baole were moved.
Kim Do-myung glanced at Liu Daobin a few times. Kongdao also nodded secretly. Only Lin Tianhao had a strange expression. On the one hand, he knew Liu Daobin. On the other hand, he felt that Liu Daobin's appearance might shake his position.
"Daobin!" Seeing Liu Daobin hugging him with uncontrollable excitement, Wang Baole was greatly moved. He felt ashamed, wondering why he had only seen his juniors and not this junior brother.
While blaming himself, Wang Baole helped Liu Daobin up and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he scanned the crowd around him as if looking for someone. Liu Daobin wiped his tears while paying attention to Wang Baole's actions. He immediately spoke in a low voice.
"Senior Brother, Zhou Xiaoya … is still in seclusion. As for Du Min, she went to the moon and the Foundation Establishment mystic realm opened again."
"Still in seclusion?!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He suddenly felt that his decision to help Zhou Xiaoya enter the Alchemy Pavilion back then was a mistake. The Alchemy Pavilion was inhumane. How could it accept a disciple and let her enter seclusion every day? It was simply infuriating and perverted!
Wang Baole was instantly enraged. He thought about finding an opportunity to return to Earth and personally go to the Alchemy Pavilion to ask them about their intentions. After making up his mind, Wang Baole exchanged some pleasantries with the Ethereal Dao College disciples who had arrived. Finally, under his encouragement, he arranged for their accommodations. What awaited them next was a large number of posts in the new city.
After doing all this, Wang Baole brought Liu Daobin to his office. As soon as they arrived, Liu Daobin immediately boiled water with great familiarity and personally brewed tea for Wang Baole. Then, he stood beside Wang Baole and lowered his head. At the same time, he quickly took out a small notebook and listened attentively.
This scene was very familiar to Wang Baole. In a trance, he thought of his life in the Dao College. Therefore, he sighed and asked Du Min about her trip to the moon. He took a sip of tea and placed it down. After that, he appointed Liu Daobin as his office manager.
After receiving this appointment, Liu Daobin patted his chest hard.
"City Lord, don't worry. My father used to hold a similar position. I watched him grow up and am very familiar with everything here. I guarantee that there won't be any problems!"
Wang Baole was even more satisfied. He gave Liu Daobin another round of instructions, and Liu Daobin recorded the entire process, afraid that he might miss out on a single word. His attitude made Wang Baole feel extremely comfortable. That was especially so at the end, when Liu Daobin took out a storage bag and placed it in front of Wang Baole.
Wang Baole frowned. Just as he was about to reject it, Liu Daobin hurriedly opened the storage bag and poured out the snacks inside. Wang Baole took a look and took a look at the storage bag. He found that it was filled with snacks. There were even dozens of boxes of Ice Spirit Water from the Ethereal Dao College that tasted different from the outside world. He felt even more comfortable when he saw this.
Seeing that Wang Baole was happy, Liu Daobin was also satisfied. After cleaning the office, he left.
"Liu Daobin is still the best." Wang Baole sat there, munching on the snacks and drinking the Ice Spirit Water. As he sighed, he felt that the new city had everything in place. All that was left was for the three new mayors to arrive and start the construction.
Time passed quickly as Wang Baole waited. Soon, seven days had passed. In these seven days, the Federation still hadn't reached a conclusion on the candidates for the three mayors. It was a testament to how intense the competition was.
However, in the midst of the competition between the various factions for the mayors, another piece of news regarding the Five Generation Sky Clan and the Senate spread throughout the Federation. It caused an equally huge commotion.
This piece of news was much more specific than the previous one. The previous time, it had only mentioned an alliance between the two parties. This time, there was no mention of an alliance at all. It only said that … the Head Senator was going to marry the Chen family of the Five Generation Sky Clan!
Once the news spread, it immediately caused a stir among those who were paying attention. Wang Baole was shocked as well. He couldn't help but speculate. He immediately sought out Lin Tianhao to inquire about it.
Lin Tianhao knew more about it this time. After all, he hadn't been able to answer Wang Baole's question the last time. That made him feel that he wasn't as useful as he had been in the past. That was especially so after he met Liu Daobin. He felt a sense of danger. Therefore, when he heard about the marriage alliance, he immediately sent a voice transmission to his father, making it clear that he wanted to find out more about it.
Lin You had no choice but to tell him part of the truth. Therefore, when Wang Baole summoned him for further questioning, Lin Tianhao took a deep breath and quickly replied.
"City Lord, I've only just found out about this. It's basically confirmed that … Li Waner and the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Mu, are going to be married. The two of them will be engaged in the near future and will be married in a year's time!"
"Speaking of which, I've met this Chen Mu before. He's slightly older than us and has been employed since a long time ago. He's a Secondary Rank Four Noble in a department with real power in the Federation. When I was young, my father always compared me to him and told me to learn from him …" Lin Tianhao lamented. However, just as he said that, Wang Baole suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
"What kind of nonsense is this? What era is this? Why are there still arranged marriages? Marriage alliance? " Wang Baole already had some bad guesses. Now that he heard Lin Tianhao's words, the scene of him and Li Waner in the underground cavern suddenly appeared in his mind. All kinds of thoughts surfaced in his mind. He vaguely felt like his woman had been snatched away.
Lin Tianhao was shocked. He was surprised. Could it be that the City Lord and Chen Mu knew each other? Therefore, he quickly spoke.
"Yes, the City Lord is right. It's the Spirit Inception Era now, and there's still marriage alliance! Chen Mu is a good person. What a pity. He could have married anyone, but he actually married Li Waner, that tyrannical old witch! "Lin Tianhao sighed. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Wang Baole looked up and glared at him.
That glare stunned Lin Tianhao. Suddenly, he had an ominous feeling. He secretly wondered if he had misunderstood. Wang Baole was not defending Chen Mu, but … Li Waner.
That guess made his eyes widen abruptly.
"What kind of blockhead is this? What's with this guy? Isn't he afraid that Li Waner will castrate him?" After glaring at Lin Tianhao, Wang Baole harrumphed. He was very displeased with the marriage alliance.
Wang Baole's words basically confirmed Lin Tianhao's guess. He couldn't help but have a strange expression. He thought to himself that the City Lord's taste was indeed different from theirs … However, he didn't dare to probe further. Instead, he told him what his father had told him.
"This time, the Senate and the Five Generation Sky Clan have formed a deep alliance through marriage. Although both parties have had some conflicts in the past, politics is all about compromise … At the same time, I heard that the Chen family had offered a betrothal gift that the Senate could not refuse in order to marry Li Waner!"
After saying that, Lin Tianhao didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly left. Even as he left, he was still lamenting the fact that Wang Baole was different from him. Meanwhile, Wang Baole was no longer in the mood to eat his snacks. He was feeling depressed. It was an indescribable feeling. In any case, he just felt that Chen Mu was trying to make things difficult for him.
"Damn you, how dare you snatch the woman who has seen my body. I'll kill you!" Wang Baole's eyes were filled with malice.
