After hearing the elderly woman's words, Zhao Fu started to think about it. The old City Lord was an extraordinary woman and had been quite famous back then. However, after the Omniscient Water World had been stolen, she had passed the position of City Lord to the current City Lord before disappearing.
This was very strange and possible. Zhao Fu thought about whether to continue the investigation. He did not want to waste his energy like last time.
In the end, Zhao Fu decided to simply inquire about some information.
After leaving the shop, Zhao Fu walked on the street, thinking about how to investigate this matter. Suddenly, he saw on the bulletin board that the city lord's mansion was recruiting some servants. He immediately had an idea.
Many people came to apply for the job, about a hundred or so. This was the city lord's mansion, where the treatment and salary were very high, but the city lord's mansion only needed two people.
Everyone waited in front of the courtyard.
At this time, a graceful woman in a cyan dress walked out from the side with a few maids. She was the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion, and her name was Shui Lan.
She glanced at the crowd and said with a hint of arrogance, "You should understand that not everyone can enter the city lord's mansion. Now, introduce yourselves to me one by one. Five by five, come up together."
Hearing this, the five people walked forward excitedly and nervously and began to introduce themselves.
"My name is Yu Mu. I've been a servant for three years and have a certain amount of experience. I'm usually kind and don't get into conflicts with others."
"My name is Shui Zuo. My aptitude is not bad and I have the potential to grow. I can serve the city lord in the city lord's mansion."
"My name is Shi Guhua. I'm more beautiful than the others. I also work hard here, so please give me a chance."
"My name is He Yi. I have no parents and just want to stay in the city lord's mansion to make a living. Please take me in, housekeeper. I'll definitely try my best to repay you."
"My name is Li You Rou. I've been working in other cities for more than ten years. Everyone says that I'm good. This time, I heard that the city lord's mansion is recruiting people, so I specially came to apply."
Mulan glanced at the five people and said lightly, "Next batch!"
The five people's faces were a little ugly. Looking at Mulan's expression, it seemed that they had not passed.
Shi Guhua was unwilling to give up. "Housekeeper! Have we been eliminated? "
Mu Lan gave a simple nod. This caused the hearts of the five people to sink to the bottom. They retreated with dejected and disappointed expressions. The other five people walked up and began to introduce themselves.
…
However, Shui Lan still didn't take a liking to any of these people, and everyone couldn't help but think, "This housekeeper's requirements are too high!"
After that, a few more batches passed by, but none of them succeeded.
At this time, Zhao Fu walked forward and was about to speak.
Shui Lan frowned and said coldly, "Why are you wearing a cloak when you're applying for a job? Take off your cloak immediately, or leave this place. "
Hearing this, Zhao Fu could only take off the cloak.
The crowd was in an uproar. Zhao Fu immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. No one had expected such a perfect face to be hidden under the cloak.
Zhao Fu said, "My name is Mo Ye …"
Shui Lan recovered from her daze and said, "Wait, you don't need to say anything. You can stay in our City Lord's Mansion."
Hearing this, everyone was envious.
Zhao Fu smiled and bowed. "Thank you, butler!"
Shui Lan gave a trace of a smile.
Following this, the next batch of people came up and started to introduce themselves. Mu Lan had no choice, and the next batch came up.
In the end, Shui Lan chose a simple and honest-looking young man called Yue Nan. The others could only die and leave.
Shui Lan said to a female attendant beside her, "Take Yue Nan to learn about the City Lord's Mansion and tell him about its rules."
The female attendant nodded and smiled as she said to Yue Nan, "Come with me!"
Shui Lan looked at Zhao Fu and said, "As for you coming with me …"
Zhao Fu replied, "Yes!"
Shui Lan led Zhao Fu to the side and came to a room.
Zhao Fu asked in confusion, "Butler, why did you bring me here?"
Shui Lan smiled and said, "You know that I'm the City Lord's Mansion's butler, and I recruited you today. You should repay me."
Zhao Fu smiled and said, "Of course, I'll definitely repay you."
Shui Lan gave a flirtatious look and said, "Come then!"
Only then did Zhao Fu understand Shui Lan's meaning. He pretended not to understand and asked, "What?"
Shui Lan lightly harrumphed, "If you make me happy, I'll let you stay in the City Lord's Mansion or kick you out. Do you still not understand?"
Zhao Fu looked quite troubled.
Shui Lan threatened, "Hurry up!"
In the end, under Shui Lan's threat, Zhao Fu pitifully walked towards Shui Lan.
Two hours later, Shui Lan looked quite satisfied as she nestled in Zhao Fu's embrace and smiled as she said, "You're so amazing; I'll definitely give you many benefits in the future."
Zhao Fu gave a trace of a smile as he said, "Thank you, butler!"
Shui Lan rolled her eyes at Zhao Fu and said, "In the future, call me butler in front of others, but you can call me wife in private, understood?"
Zhao Fu nodded and smiled as he said, "Mm, wife!"
Zhao Fu wanted to get some information from Shui Lan and asked, "Wife, how long have you been in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Shui Lan smiled as she said, "More than 20 years!"
Zhao Fu continued to ask, "Then do you know anything about the old City Lord?"
Shui Lan looked at Zhao Fu and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about these things?"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "I want to know more about the City Lord's Mansion."
Shui Lan thought about it and said, "Alright, but I don't know much about it. After all, it's been such a long time."
Zhao Fu replied, "Mm, do you know that the Omniscient Water World has been stolen?"
Shui Lan said, "I do!"
Zhao Fu asked with certainty, "Is this news true?"
Shui Lan said, "Of course it's true."
Zhao Fu asked with certainty, "Is the Omniscient Water World in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Shui Lan replied, "It's been stolen; do you really think it's not in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Hearing this, Zhao Fu sighed; this seemed to be another piece of fake news.
Shui Lan looked at Zhao Fu and asked, "What is it?"
Zhao Fu smiled as he said, "It's nothing, I'll be going now."
Shui Lan smiled and nodded, "I'll rest for a while."
Zhao Fu put on his clothes and planned to leave. He continued to search for the Omniscient Water World and did not want to waste his energy here.
Not long after walking out of the room …
A woman in white with a mature figure and a sword at her waist looked at Zhao Fu and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here? "
Zhao Fu looked at this woman. He did not know who she was, but he could sense that she was very powerful. Zhao Fu did not want to cause trouble, so he said, "I'm a servant who just applied for a job."
The woman was the City Lord's Mansion's Guard Captain and was called Shui Ziyan. Looking at Zhao Fu's appearance, she asked curiously, "You're just a servant?"
Zhao Fu nodded.
