Undercurrent Surging
The news that Qin Xiao had joined the City Lord Mansion quickly spread throughout Bayi City. Since the dust had settled, it would naturally spread quickly.
Moreover, the City Lord did not deliberately hide this matter. On the contrary, the City Lord Mansion hoped to spread the news as quickly as possible.
Moreover, there would be a ceremony for the Deputy City Lord in three days. Qin Xiao was directly appointed as the Deputy City Lord as soon as he joined the City Lord Mansion. This treatment was not ordinary. It was truly shocking.
The Deputy City Lord held a high position. He definitely stood at the pinnacle of Bayi City. He was a big shot who was recognized by the Universal Palace.
When Qin Xiao came out of the Pool of All Creation with endless glory, there was a lot of heated discussion in Bayi City. Everyone was discussing which force Qin Xiao would join in the end.
Only the four forces were qualified to compete for such a peerless genius.
The Hundred Treasures Conglomerate, the Red Mountain House, and the Myriad Country Residence belonged to the Hundred Schools of Thought. They all had extremely high status and were extremely powerful in the Heart of All Creation World.
These three forces could be said to be evenly matched. No one had an advantage over the other. They all had their own strengths.
Most importantly, it would depend on how much these three families valued Qin Xiao and how much they spent on him.
As for the City Lord Mansion, it was actually slightly weaker. After all, the City Lord Mansion could not represent the Universal Palace. It could only represent the City Lord himself.
As for the City Lord himself, it was clearly not enough to contend against the forces of the hundreds of Marquises.
Moreover, Qin Xiao's first meeting was with the Red Mountain House. Therefore, everyone speculated that Qin Xiao was more likely to join the Red Mountain House. Qin Xiao stayed in the Red Mountain House for three days. There were even many rumors that Qin Xiao had joined the Red Mountain House. Therefore, this speculation spread rapidly in Bayi City.
However, no one expected the situation to change so drastically. Qin Xiao did not join the Red Mountain House, but joined the City Lord Mansion instead.
Such an outcome was indeed a little surprising.
What was even more surprising was that the City Lord of Qi Dong City was really courageous. He directly appointed Qin Xiao as the Deputy City Lord.
Putting aside Qin Xiao's strength for the time being, with his age and experience, how could he take on the position of Deputy City Lord?
Even Ye Xian Ba had been in this position for many years, but it was not realistic. Who would have thought that Qin Xiao would actually take the position of Deputy City Lord, which made people puzzled. Many voices also came out.
Hundred Treasures Conglomerate and Myriad Kingdom Conglomerate had already made preparations. They had raised their stakes a few times and had come prepared.
But they didn't even have the chance to talk to Qin Xiao, so they could only leave dejectedly.
Red Mountain House Red Mountain House....
Zi Yin was still drinking his wine, and there wasn't a trace of displeasure on his face.
Yan Niang, who was sitting opposite him, was not so calm. She frowned slightly and said with a strange expression, "Zi Yin, you don't seem to be surprised by this result at all?"
Zi Yin smiled and said, "That's right. Didn't I say it before? Even if Qin Xiao chooses the City Lord's Mansion in the end, I won't feel any surprise."
"You don't understand because you don't know Qi Dong. I've interacted with Qi Dong a few times, and he's a very charismatic person. He has lofty sentiments, lofty aspirations, and ambition. He is a person worthy of respect. "
"His strength is not below mine. His talent and potential may not be below mine. I don't dare to say where he will go in the future. In short, he is absolutely extraordinary. "
Yan Yan Yan Yan shook her head and said, "Even so, I still don't think his City Lord Mansion is better than our Red Mountain House."
"I thought we would win this time, but I didn't expect that we would be defeated by the City Lord of Qi Dong City. I really don't understand."
Zi Yin shook his head and said with a smile, "There is nothing to be puzzled about. Some things can't be explained clearly. Some things, I can't explain. In short, it's just a feeling. "
"Qin Xiao is not an ordinary person. If he really agreed to our proposal, he would have agreed before and not wait to see the City Lord of Qi Dong City. The reason why he didn't agree at that time was that he still had hesitation in his heart. He couldn't make up his mind. "
"Once the heart hesitates, there will naturally be changes. This is also my bad premonition before. Now it turns out that this premonition is right. "
"What's done is done. What's done is done. There is no point in saying anything. This is Qin Xiao's choice. We should respect him. If we can't get a genius, we shouldn't provoke him. In any case, not being an enemy is a very good result for us. "
Yan Niang nodded. At this point, this was the only way.
Zi Yin stood up and looked out of the window. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Qin Xiao, oh Qin Xiao, I am looking forward to your growth. I am looking forward to the day when I can fight side by side with you. I even want to compete with you. "
… …
The City Lord's Mansion, a mansion.
Two majestic men sat there, their powerful auras causing the space around them to distort.
From the way they dressed, it could be seen that the two people had a very high status in the City Lord's Mansion.
If there were outsiders here, they would definitely recognize that these two people were Deputy City Lord An Xian and Deputy City Lord Mosen.
And from the mark between their eyebrows, it could also be seen that these two Deputy City Lords were two-star All Things Possessors.
There were only a few two-star All Things Possessors in the entire Bayi City.
The three forces like Hundred Treasures Hub, Red Mountain House, and Myriad Kingdom Mansion would generally only send one two-star All Things Possessor.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion usually had the most two-star All Things Possessors.
The City Lord of Qidong City was an extremely experienced person. Although he had only been the City Lord for a few hundred thousand years, his business was much better than many old antiques who had been in business for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years.
It could be seen from the fact that he recruited two two-star All Things Possessors as Deputy City Lords to work for him.
Many two-star All Things Possessors failed to become a City Lord and could not become a City Lord. These two-star All Things Possessors either joined a force, set up their own mountain, or joined the City Lord's Mansion. Most of them could become a Deputy City Lord.
The position of Deputy City Lord was also an identity recognized by the All Things Palace.
Although it was not as good as the City Lord's Mansion, it could still get some benefits. Furthermore, this identity was considered a pretty good choice over there.
Of course, many two-star All Things Possessors were not willing to stay in a small city. Most of them went to a place of a higher level.
For example, an Abyssal Prefect's territory or a famous city would do.
Bayi City was just a small place.
"Mosen, what do you think about this matter?" An Xian's face was gloomy, and her face was filled with displeasure.
Mosen's face was also cold, and his cold voice rang out, "What else can I think? This is an order from the City Lord himself. The City Lord made him Deputy City Lord. What else can we say? "
An Xian shook her head and said, "Although that is the case, can you swallow your anger? Hmph, I really don't know what the City Lord is thinking. He's just a brat who is still wet behind the ears. Didn't he just have a monstrous result in the Pool of All Things? A monstrous result in the Pool of All Things does not necessarily represent one's talent and potential, right? "
"Even if he has monstrous talent and potential, he is only a one-star All Things Possessor. I really did not expect that the City Lord would bestow him the position of Deputy City Lord in order to rope him in. Now, he is on equal footing with us. Moreover, he is staying in the Eastern Palace. "
"That place represents the highest position. In terms of aura, he is vaguely above us. "
"You and I have been loyal and devoted for the City Lord for hundreds of thousands of years. We have worked hard for the City Lord. But now, the City Lord actually allowed a brat to ride on our heads. How can we tolerate this? "
Mosen's expression was even gloomier as he said, "An Xian, I can completely understand your feelings. Previously, we were worried that the City Lord would make his adopted son, Ye Xian, Deputy City Lord to keep us in check. If the City Lord made Ye Xian Deputy City Lord, we really have nothing to say. After all, he is the City Lord's adopted son. "
"Moreover, Ye Xian is in the City Lord's residence and can be considered to be very popular. He is good in all aspects. In Bayi City, he can be considered to be extremely radiant. It is indeed difficult for us to say anything. This is something we have been worried about. However, the City Lord is not in a hurry to make Ye Xian Deputy City Lord. "
"We originally thought that the City Lord was taking our feelings into consideration. But we did not expect that he would catch us off guard. He did not make Ye Xian Deputy City Lord, but actually made a brat Deputy City Lord. What is the meaning of this? Is this a show of force to us? Is he starting to keep us in check? "
"Mosen-" An Xian's voice was a little harsh as she said, "This can't be said carelessly. We should still believe in the City Lord's character. Even if he wants to keep us in check, it should not be like this. "
"In short, I really can't figure out the City Lord's move. It feels too profound. It's just that I really can't swallow this anger. "
"An Xian, you and I have been wearing the same pair of pants for a long time. If the City Lord really wants to keep us in check, then none of us can escape. So now, we are on the same side. I asked you to discuss this matter because I also want to hear your opinion and see if there is any good way to deal with it. "
"We can't just acquiesce to this matter without a word, right? If that's the case, then I'm afraid we won't have any dignity to stay in the City Lord's residence in the future. "
"Yes, Mosen, you are right. I also have the same intention. We definitely can't swallow this humiliation. Otherwise, we will have no dignity to speak of. " An Xian nodded with a ruthless face and said, "Since the City Lord has already decided on this matter and has already informed, there will be a banquet in three days."
"So at this juncture, we can't go to the City Lord to talk about this matter. Even if we do, the City Lord will not take back the order."
"It can be said that what's done can't be undone. So, what we have to do now is to start with Qin Xiao. "
"Wasn't he appointed as the vice city lord? Then let's see what kind of ability he has to be able to sit in this position. If he wants to sit in this position, he can't do it without strength. "
"Hmph!" Mosen sneered and said, "Anxian, you're thinking the same thing as me. I have the same idea too. If we can't start with the City Lord, then we can only start with him. Moreover, he is just a young boy. We can definitely do anything to him. "
"If he wants to sit in the position of deputy City Lord, then we have to see if he has the strength and courage to sit in it."
"An Xian, you are the best in this aspect. Why don't you make a trip?"
