Chu Zhong Tian sighed in relief. What he was afraid of the most was that the management of the city would delay his own cultivation. Now that Ling Xian had spoken, of course he no longer worried.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "I wonder who you have in mind?"
"You know this person." Ling Xian grinned, "Waiter, come out."
At that, Huang Er walked out from the right side of the hall. He was skinny and shifty-eyed, giving people the impression that he was a wretched man. He was the living embodiment of a ruffian.
However, a cunning glint flickered in his narrowed eyes, as if he was an old fox that had hidden himself very well.
"So it's you."
The moment he saw Huang Er, Chu Zhong Tian frowned. He didn't understand Huang Er's hidden intelligence, so he thought he was a thug.
Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of him.
"Master, please forgive me for being direct." Chu Zhong Tian paid his respect, "If the City of Sin is to be managed by someone like you, then I would rather give up my cultivation and manage the city for you."
Hearing that Chu Zhong Tian was pointing his spear at him, Huang Er frowned but didn't say anything.
For one, he was afraid of Chu Zhong Tian's terrifying capabilities. For two, he knew that this person had already made an oath to the heavens. His loyalty towards Ling Xian was unquestionable. If he retorted, he might end up in an awkward situation.
Therefore, he wisely chose to remain silent and merely chuckled.
"Zhong Tian, there is no need for you to question my decision." Ling Xian softly smiled. Though his smile appeared gentle, it was full of authority.
Instantly, Chu Zhong Tian felt fear and explained in a hurry, "Master, it is not that I am questioning your decision. It is just that I don't think this person has much capabilities and cannot take on such a heavy responsibility."
"You will find out about that in the future."
Ling Xian's expression was calm like a God who was above everyone else. He glared at Chu Zhong Tian, "You only need to understand one thing. Do not question my decision."
"Yes, I will remember." Chu Zhong Tian nodded. It wasn't that he was questioning Ling Xian's decision, it was that he felt Huang Er could not take on such a heavy responsibility.
Seeing that Chu Zhong Tian was obedient, Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, "Don't be fooled by his low cultivation level and his temperament. He is very smart. Especially in the aspect of management, he is definitely the most suitable candidate. "
Hearing this, Huang Er chuckled, very proud.
Chu Zhong Tian, on the other hand, frowned and stared at Huang Er. His gaze was judgmental. However, he didn't say anything. Because he believed that Ling Xian wouldn't say something like this for no reason.
"Waiter."
Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Huang Er, "From this moment on, you are the manager of the City of Sin. You are responsible for managing all the big and small matters in the city. I wonder if you have any objections?"
"No objections, of course not."
Huang Er's face was full of smiles. He was smiling like a flower. Though he had guessed Ling Xian's plan, after hearing it with his own ears, he still felt like he was wrapped up in happiness and was about to die from happiness.
Remember that he was once a small cultivator at the bottom of the City of Sin. Every day, he was bullied and his life was precarious. Most people could curse and hit him however they wanted. Yet he had to smile along and didn't dare to resist.
Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian was making him the manager of the City of Sin. This was a position where he was second only to the Emperor. Why wouldn't he feel happy?
If he had any objections, then wouldn't he be an idiot?
"It's good that you have no objections. Then from this moment on, you are the manager of the City of Sin." Ling Xian softly grinned and stared straight at Huang Er, "Do well and don't disappoint me."
"Do not worry, I will not disappoint you!" Huang Er was beyond excited. He had reached a point where he could barely control himself.
He was the manager of the City of Sin, the equivalent of the Prime Minister of a country. He was second only to the Emperor and above everyone else!
In other words, from this moment on, he was the second most important person in the City of Sin. He was in charge of all the big and small matters in the City of Sin. Anyone who saw him would have to respectfully call him General Manager. How could he not feel excited about this?
Not even in his dreams did he think that one day, he would be able to stand at such a high position. This made him feel like he was dreaming.
Just think about it. The important figures he once could only look up to were now looking up to him. How unbelievable was this?
All of this was thanks to Ling Xian.
Without him, Huang Er would still be the cultivator who was bullied at the bottom. He wouldn't have the chance to stand at such a high position and appreciate the scenery!
This was something Huang Er knew very well.
Therefore, he suppressed the excitement in his chest and bowed deeply towards Ling Xian. He said sincerely, "Thank you for changing my fate. Thank you for allowing me to stand at such a high position. From this moment onwards, my life is yours. I'm willing to lay down my life for you without any hesitation! "
"Very good."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He could feel the sincerity in Huang Er's words, "If you truly want to thank me, then take care of this city for me. That is the best way to repay me."
"Do not worry. I will do my best to take care of this city for you." Huang Er's expression was serious and his tone was powerful.
"I believe with your abilities, taking care of the City of Sin won't be hard." Ling Xian smiled, "But remember, other than listening to my orders, you have to listen to Zhong Tian as well. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I will listen to brother Chu." Huang Er chuckled and peeked at Chu Zhong Tian from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Chu Zhong Tian wasn't angered by the word "brother", he stopped worrying.
The reality was, Chu Zhong Tian wasn't very willing. But after hearing that Ling Xian wanted Huang Er to listen to him, he was very happy and didn't care about the minor details.
"Call him the leader of the city."
Ling Xian spoke softly and shifted his gaze towards Chu Zhong Tian, "From now on, you are the leader of the City of Sin and Huang Er is the manager. One of you is a scholar and the other is a warrior. One will scare the weak and the other will take care of the City of Sin. I believe that as long as the two of you work together, you can make this city even better. "
"Don't worry, young master. I will remember your words." Chu Zhong Tian nodded solemnly.
Huang Er's expression was serious as well as he remembered Ling Xian's words.
The two of them knew very well that the City of Sin today was all because of Ling Xian. Therefore, they were sincerely thankful and respected him from the bottom of their hearts. Naturally, they had to remember what he said.
"Then I don't have to worry." Ling Xian revealed a satisfied smile. He was very confident in handing over the City of Sin to Chu Zhong Tian and Huang Er.
Chu Zhong Tian was a completion leveled cultivator, which was enough to scare the entire city. Plus, he swore to the heavens, so his loyalty was unquestionable. Therefore, he was the best candidate to be the leader of the City of Sin. There was no need to worry about him betraying Ling Xian.
Though Huang Er appeared to be perverted, he was actually very smart. He was the best choice to take care of the City of Sin. There was no need to worry about his loyalty either. Even if he had any bad intentions, with Chu Zhong Tian, the completion leveled cultivator, there was nothing he could do.
The two of them, one was a scholar and the other was a warrior. The two of them kept each other in check and they wouldn't let one of them monopolize all the power.
Therefore, Ling Xian was very assured. He believed that the two of them will be able to make the City of Sin prosperous.
"Hehe, hand over the City of Sin to me and brother Chu. Do not worry." Huang Er chuckled, finding it hard to hide the excitement on his face.
Chu Zhong Tian didn't speak. However, the determination on his face indicated that he would use his life to protect this city.
Of course, rather than saying that he was going to protect this city, it was more like he didn't want to disappoint Ling Xian!
"Handing over the City of Sin to you naturally makes me feel better. That way, I can leave without any worries." Ling Xian softly grinned, his eyes flickered with anticipation.
Everything here was almost over. It was time for him to head to the Shang Qing Sect.
"Young Master, if I may ask, where are you going?" Huang Er hesitated and asked.
Chu Zhong Tian didn't speak, but his face revealed a questioning look.
Ling Xian shook his head, "You don't need to ask too much. You just need to do what you are supposed to do."
"Yes, I understand." Huang Er was very smart and didn't ask too much.
"Yes, Zhong Tian and I have some things to talk about. You can leave now," Ling Xian said softly.
Huang Er nodded and bowed down to Ling Xian before leaving the main hall.
Seeing this, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Chu Zhong Tian and said in a low voice, "I need you to do something for me. Remember, investigate in secret and don't alert anyone."
"What is it?" Chu Zhong Tian's expression turned serious. He knew that the reason why Ling Xian was acting so serious and why he asked Huang Er to leave was because he was about to tell him something very important.
He was right. The reason why Ling Xian asked Huang Er to leave was because he felt like this was an important matter and he had to hand it to someone who is absolutely loyal to him.
Chu Zhong Tian, without a doubt, was the most suitable candidate.
"I need you to secretly search for ancient books about the City of Sin, analyze them, and find out the secrets of this city." Ling Xian's expression was serious. Whether it was from the information he learned or the strange changes that occurred when he first arrived in this city, one conclusion could be reached.
This City of Sin was hiding far too many secrets.
Therefore, Ling Xian needed Chu Zhong Tian to help him find out these secrets.
"The secrets of the City of Sin?"
Chu Zhong Tian frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, "I have heard from my elders that this city is hiding many secrets. But as to what they are, nobody knows."
"Therefore, I need you to investigate in secret." Ling Xian said in a low voice.
Chu Zhong Tian nodded, "Do not worry, I will not disappoint you."
"Very good."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he ordered, "Remember, only you can know about this. Do not let anyone else know about this. Not a single person."
"Zhong Tian understands." Chu Zhong Tian revealed a smile. He felt like Ling Xian trusted him and thought highly of him. This made him very happy.
"If that's the case, then go and prepare. In 10 days, you will hold a ceremony and announce to everyone that you are the new ruler of the City of Sin. "Ling Xian grinned.
"Yes, I will leave for now." Chu Zhong Tian paid his respect and left the hall.
Watching this person leave, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. He mumbled, "In 10 days, I will be making my move."
