"There doesn't seem to be anything special about this place." The girl walked on the streets of Guide Ancient City as she sized up her surroundings, seemingly disappointed.
How could there be interesting people in an ordinary place? The girl didn't believe that there were any humans worthy of her attention.
"Since I'm here, there's no harm in taking a look," Xiao said with a smile.
"I hope the person you mentioned won't disappoint me too much," the girl said indifferently. She was no longer in high spirits.
"I believe he will be interesting." Xiao looked towards the end of the long street.
The girl looked over as well and saw that there were many people gathered there. She had no idea what they were doing.
"What are they doing?" the girl asked curiously when she failed to notice anything amiss.
"Let's go over and take a look," Xiao said as he walked over.
The girl followed Xiao and when she arrived, she saw many people lining up in front of a hall.
"Friend, what are you doing?" Xiao stood at the back of the line and asked a fatty in front of him.
"Can't you see for yourself …" Fatty said unhappily, but halfway through his sentence, he saw the Primordial Energy Crystal in Xiao's hand. Immediately, he turned from violent to peaceful. He took the Primordial Energy Crystal with a beaming smile and said, "This isn't the city guard recruiting members. We are all here to sign up."
"City guard should be a very dangerous job, right? Why are there so many people signing up?" Xiao asked.
"You aren't from this city, right?" Fatty asked in understanding.
"I just came from out of town," Xiao answered.
"Then it's no wonder. You might not know, but Captain Qin of the city guard is City Lord Zhou's personal disciple. As long as you enter the city guard, you can receive Captain Qin's guidance. You definitely know how powerful City Lord Zhou is. He's one of the strongest humans. He has killed countless dimensional creatures and even aliens. He's a powerful figure. Captain Qin is his personal disciple. Her sword skills are godlike, so you can receive her guidance. If you're lucky and catch the eye of City Lord Zhou, that would be even more impressive. That's an opportunity that many people dream of. How can there not be many people signing up? "Fatty said with a proud look as his saliva splattered.
The young girl frowned when she heard that he could casually kill foreign races.
The fatty continued, "However, the requirements for the city guards to recruit members are very high. Ordinary people really can't be recruited. Don't look at the long line. It's already pretty good if a tenth of them are recruited. I'm just here to try my luck. If I can really enter the city guards, it'll be considered a blessing from my ancestors. No matter what, I'll be considered City Lord Zhou's disciple. Who knows, I might storm into the dimension in the future and kill those aliens. Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant then."
Fatty's words were mostly said by humans when they were bragging. He did not really think that such a day would come.
However, these words sounded different to the young girl's ears. The young girl's expression turned ugly.
"How can I meet City Lord Zhou?" the young lady asked the fatty.
"Just line up here. If you're accepted later, you'll be able to see City Lord Zhou," the fatty replied.
"Xiao, let's line up too," the girl said coldly.
"Isn't that great? Don't we still have things to do? "Xiao said with a troubled expression.
"There's no rush. I want to see how powerful City Lord Zhou, who can casually kill aliens, is," the young girl said with a cold expression.
"Little girl, you have a good mindset. You should follow our City Lord Zhou. What six big families? They sound very powerful, but they are still a far cry from our City Lord Zhou. If you are lucky enough to enter the City Guard and gain the City Lord's favor, you will have a bright future ahead of you. You will be able to kill all the alien races …" The fatty was swaying crazily on the edge of death, but he didn't know it.
"Then I'm really looking forward to it," the young girl said expressionlessly as her eyes twitched when she heard the word 'lucky'.
The young girl and Xiao lined up in the middle of the line and waited for a while before entering the hall. The staff made them fill out forms and do some tests.
The tests on strength and speed naturally didn't pose a problem for the young girl. She didn't reveal too much as she was waiting to meet City Lord Zhou. She wanted to see how he would casually kill aliens.
Xiao didn't say anything as he helped the young girl fill out the forms.
"Don't tell me the interesting person you mentioned is that City Lord Zhou?" the young girl asked Xiao.
"Yes, he's quite an interesting person," Xiao replied with a smile.
"I don't know if he's interesting, but you're right about one thing. He's indeed a severely delusional person," the young girl said with a snort.
"Isn't that what makes him interesting?" Xiao said with a smile.
The young girl was just about to say something when the staff who maintained order walked over. They brought the people who had passed the test to a square and got everyone to line up.
Not long after, a few people walked over from the side passage and stood on the podium in the square.
"The person in the middle is Zhou Wen," Xiao said in a hushed voice as he lined up behind the young girl.
In fact, the young girl already knew who Zhou Wen was without Xiao saying it. This was because all the youths who had signed up to join the city guards were looking at Zhou Wen in awe.
"Congratulations on passing the test. From this day forth, all of you will be members of Guide City's city guards. Let us invite Castellan Zhou Wen to give a speech …" Before the staff could finish his sentence, there was a round of applause.
"He doesn't look anything special," the young girl said disdainfully as she stared at Zhou Wen.
As the young girl spoke, she suddenly saw Zhou Wen glance in her direction. It was unknown if it was intentional, but Zhou Wen's gaze seemed to linger on the young girl's face for a moment before moving away.
Xiao didn't respond as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, forming a faint smile.
Zhou Wen stood on the podium and swept his gaze across everyone's faces before slowly saying, "I don't know why all of you wish to join the city guards, nor do I wish to know why. All I want to know is, do you know what it means to join the city guards?"
"The best benefits, the most stable income." A burly man's words made everyone smile.
"You're right. In Guide City, the city guards' income and benefits are the best. Every month, you will receive large amounts of resources, and you will receive the best training and guidance from the best famous teachers …" Just as Zhou Wen was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"The best famous teacher? Are you referring to yourself?" The person who spoke was none other than the young girl.
Everyone looked at Zhou Wen. Although they had different goals from the young girl, they also wanted to know if Zhou Wen would personally guide them. Although Qin Zhen was very strong, he was naturally much weaker than Zhou Wen. It would be great if they could receive Zhou Wen's personal guidance.
Zhou Wen looked at the young girl and sized up her cold expression before saying calmly, "Yes."
