An Xian's Visit
The East Palace was now renamed to Qin Mansion.
The news that Qin Xiao had joined the City Lord Mansion and was appointed as the Deputy City Lord had already spread like wildfire. Everyone in the city knew about it.
There were voices of doubt, astonishment, and some cheers.
In this storm, Qin Xiao paid no attention to the outside world and was immersed in cultivation.
Ye Xian quickly found Babatu and recruited him into the City Lord Mansion. He gave Babatu an identity so that he could follow Qin Xiao and serve Qin Xiao.
This was tantamount to turning Babatu from a pheasant into a phoenix. He immediately leaped over the dragon gate and became a top figure.
In the past, Babatu had always lived at the bottom of Bayi City, the most humble kind.
But now, Babatu had also turned over a new leaf. Ye Xian directly helped Babatu to obtain the identity of a one-star All Knowing Expert. He was also arranged to hold an important position in Qin Xiao's Deputy City Lord Mansion.
On Qin Xiao's side, he also directly gave Babatu the position of Chief of Internal Affairs.
To put it bluntly, in the Qin Mansion, besides Qin Xiao, Babatu had the highest position.
Everyone in the Qin Mansion had to listen to Babatu's orders.
This position could be said to be very high.
Even in the entire City Lord Mansion, Babatu was now considered a top figure.
Such a huge change made Babatu follow Qin Xiao even more wholeheartedly, even if he had to die. He could finally see some light in his gloomy life.
Babatu's life had also become a story passed down by mouth in Bayi City.
In the cultivation room, Qin Xiao had been comprehending and cultivating here.
After receiving six cultivation methods from Qi Dong, Qin Xiao also devoted himself to the cultivation of these six cultivation methods.
The three low-grade cultivation methods were very easy. For Qin Xiao, there was no trace of difficulty. He easily got started and soon completely mastered them.
The three middle-grade cultivation methods were still a little difficult. In theory, only a two-star All Knowing Expert could cultivate middle-grade cultivation methods. A one-star All Knowing Expert had a huge threshold just to get started. Moreover, even if one could learn the basics, it would be very difficult to cultivate to a high level.
The difference in cultivation level still had a great influence.
However, to Qin Xiao, these techniques were merely external aids that could aid in the cultivation of the Dao of All Things.
Cultivation arts were originally a bridge, a connecting hub.
Once he truly saw through it, he would know that cultivation techniques were nothing more than that. The greatest use of a cultivation method was to guide a cultivator's cultivation.
Using cultivation techniques to improve one's fighting skills was superficial.
At this moment, Qin Xiao had reached the bottleneck of his breakthrough. He was only a step away from breaking through the intermediate usage of the Dao of All Things.
However, this step was like a natural moat, which troubled Qin Xiao for a long time. Qin Xiao had no way to cross it.
"It seems that relying on these cultivation methods is still far from enough. This step had trapped me. It was too difficult to take this step. In terms of time, it was indeed a little too rushed. If you don't have enough accumulation, you won't be able to achieve success when the conditions are right. "
"Cultivation matters can't be rushed."
Qin Xiao shook his head helplessly.
Although he really wanted to break through earlier, cultivation wasn't something that could be achieved just because you wanted it.
Cultivation was something that defied the heavens.
Cultivation breakthroughs were harder than ascending to the heavens.
Every step was like a natural chasm.
Now, relying on this kind of simple cultivation method was no longer effective.
Therefore, Qin Xiao was now thinking about what his next step should be. How should he cultivate? How should he raise his strength as much as possible.
If he completely relied on time to accumulate, it would seem a little too long.
In terms of time, Qin Xiao couldn't afford to waste it. He also didn't want to wait that long.
Babatu hurriedly walked over and said to Qin Xiao, "Lord, Deputy City Lord An Xian has come to visit. She's drinking tea in the guest hall."
"An Xian?" Hearing the person who came, Qin Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly, "I haven't been officially conferred yet. The conferring ceremony hasn't been held yet. This An Xian came to visit in such a hurry. I'm afraid she doesn't have any good intentions."
Qin Xiao was naturally very clear about matters of human nature.
Qin Xiao also knew a little about the two Deputy City Lords, An Xian and Mosen. He knew that these two people were not to be trifled with.
Both of them had followed Qi Dong since he became the City Lord of Bayi City. Over the years, they had made great contributions to the construction of Bayi City and Qi Dong's firm control over the power of Bayi City. They were absolutely great contributors.
These two Deputy City Lords could be described as having unparalleled power.
Therefore, An Xian's visit made Qin Xiao understand that she was obviously looking for trouble. She didn't come with good intentions.
It seemed that she wanted to give him a show of strength.
From the perspective of An Xian and Mosen, Qin Xiao could quite understand their feelings.
No matter who this kind of thing happened to, he was afraid that it would be more or less the same, right?
It was human nature. Qin Xiao was too lazy to say anything more.
Since she had already come, Qin Xiao naturally had no reason to refuse her. At least logically, he couldn't lose.
So Qin Xiao got up and said to Babatu, "Let's go. Take me to meet this Deputy City Lord."
"Sir, I see that Deputy City Lord An Xian is coming with great momentum. I'm afraid she doesn't come with good intentions. So, sir, you still have to be careful. I'm afraid that many people are envious and jealous of you for being in this position. "Babatu reminded.
Qin Xiao smiled indifferently and said, "The visitor is definitely not good, but it doesn't matter. Since she is here, no matter what moves she uses, our Qin's Mansion can handle it. "
"We don't cause trouble, and we're not afraid of trouble. This is our Qin's Mansion's code of conduct in the future. We just need to stay in our own land and cultivate in a low-key way. "
"No matter who it is, if they dare to invade our land, it's absolutely impossible. This is our bottom line. "
Babatu looked at Qin Xiao in a daze and couldn't help but nod his head. The admiration in his heart was also indescribable.
It was very easy to say a sentence, but it was very difficult to do it.
Babatu knew that Qin Xiao was the kind of person who would do what he said. The words from his mouth were absolutely not empty talk.
Qin Xiao and Babatu quickly came to the reception hall. An Xian was there alone, tasting tea. He was also very leisurely, without a trace of impatience.
Seeing Qin Xiao come, his eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't have the intention of getting up.
Instead, he sat there and tasted tea unhurriedly. As if he was the host, and Qin Xiao was the guest. This relationship between host and guest seemed to have been reversed.
A small action could also see many problems.
Sure enough, as expected, the visitor was indeed very unfriendly.
Qin Xiao saw it in his heart and remembered it in his heart. He didn't change his expression and walked over.
He curled his lips and took the initiative to say, "Deputy City Lord An Xian, we're honored by your presence. I'm really sorry for not going out to meet you. I wonder if my tea suits Deputy City Lord An Xian's taste? I'm cultivating in seclusion. If my subordinates treat you differently, Deputy City Lord An Xian, please forgive me. "
While speaking, Qin Xiao also sat on his seat of honor, looking down at An Xian with a somewhat condescending aura.
Originally, when receiving such an important guest like Deputy City Lord An Xian, Qin Xiao shouldn't sit on the seat of honor. He should sit on the same level as Deputy City Lord An Xian. This way, he could show respect to the guest.
However, Qin Xiao did not do so. This was clearly intentional on his part.
Deputy City Lord An Xian, didn't you want to take me down a notch?
Then I'll return one to you.
It was obvious that the two of them were secretly competing with each other.
"Deputy City Lord Qin Xiao is a busy person. I'm the one who disturbed you. How dare I let you welcome me from afar? I came to pay a visit. It should be the guest following the host's wishes. "An Xian's words obviously had a bit of tit-for-tat taste.
Qin Xiao didn't give him enough respect, which obviously made An Xian very unhappy.
Qin Xiao curled his lips and said, "I don't dare to be the Deputy City Lord. I haven't been officially conferred the title yet, so strictly speaking, I'm not the Deputy City Lord of Bayi City."
"As the saying goes, if the name isn't right, then the words won't follow. Vice City Lord An Xian calling me that is a bit inappropriate."
"Oh, is it inappropriate?" An Xian sneered. "Why do I feel that you have already sat in this position? With your current posture, who dares to say that you are not the Deputy City Lord? Not to mention the Deputy City Lord, even if you say that you are the first Deputy City Lord, I'm afraid no one dares to say anything. "
"I think, in a few days, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter your house."
In the face of the aggressive Deputy City Lord An Xian, Qin Xiao's face was calm. He didn't pay much attention to this pressure, but curled his lips and said indifferently, "If you can't enter my house, then you must have done something that offends the heavens and the gods. Otherwise, my house will always be open to anyone. "
"I, Qin Xiao, like to make friends with the world. I welcome friends no matter when. But for enemies, no matter when, I will be angry. "
"I have this kind of character, and I can't change it. So, I have always felt that it is better to be my friend than my enemy. At least this way — — you don't have to make a bloody scene with me. "
"In addition to cultivation, I don't care about anything else. I won't fight for anything external. It has no practical meaning to me. "
"But if you insist on dragging me in, then I can only say that you may not be able to bear the consequences."
Without batting an eyelid, Qin Xiao had already struck back at the Deputy City Lord An Xian, and even gave a heavy warning.
Qin Xiao's words could be said to be incomparably domineering. When An Xian heard this, his face was filled with shame and anger, and his expression became very ugly.
Damn it!
This was simply a slap to his face.
He originally came over to give Qin Xiao a show of strength, but he didn't expect to be warned by Qin Xiao.
Such a situation really made An Xian want to kill someone.
He had seen arrogant people, but he had never seen such an arrogant person. He was just a young and inexperienced brat. How dare he be so arrogant?
He actually dared to give him a warning!
"Young man, it's better not to be too arrogant. Otherwise, there won't be any good consequences. "An Xian's face was gloomy, and he shouted in a very ugly manner.
But Qin Xiao's face was indifferent. He smiled coldly and said, "You're right, young people really shouldn't be too arrogant. I'll give you the same words. "
"Alright, Deputy City Lord An Xian, I didn't prepare a banquet here, so there's nothing to entertain you. I also want to continue my cultivation, so I won't keep you any longer. Please leave. "
This was a direct order for him to leave.
