Qin Xiao felt a little more comfortable after sending the female servants away.
Otherwise, with the three hundred beautiful ladies hovering in front of him and many of them peeking at him curiously from time to time, Qin Xiao would feel very uncomfortable.
Now that only General Manager Yuan was left to accompany him, he felt much more at ease.
Qin Xiao preferred this kind of peace and quiet.
The City Governor's Mansion was not big, so he became familiar with it after walking around.
Finally, General Manager Yuan brought Qin Xiao to a side courtyard and said, "City Governor, this is the cultivation place of all the previous City Governors. It is also the cultivation place of the first City Governor. Do you think you can live and cultivate here in the future? "
There was no other place that was better. Qin Xiao was not picky and simply nodded.
General Manager Yuan continued, "This is a forbidden area. Other than me, no one else is allowed to enter. Therefore, you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the servants when you live and cultivate here. I will always guard the outer courtyard.
I will not enter the inner courtyard without any orders from the City Governor. "
Qin Xiao nodded again. This was a good point. Qin Xiao did not like to be disturbed.
Only General Manager Yuan could enter this place. It was obvious that General Manager Yuan's position in the City Governor's Mansion had always been very high.
However, judging from the traces of time on General Manager Yuan's body, he was definitely an ancient existence. Perhaps there was no one in Free City who had lived longer than him.
Therefore, Qin Xiao thought that General Manager Yuan probably followed the first City Governor and was deeply trusted by the first City Governor. He had been holding the position of General Manager in the City Governor's Mansion and was considered the City Governor's right-hand man.
This made Qin Xiao more curious about General Manager Yuan.
Although they had only spent a short time together, Qin Xiao could feel General Manager Yuan's loyalty, wisdom, and a hidden aura.
This General Manager Yuan was definitely not a simple person.
"Oh right, General Manager Yuan, where does the City Governor's Mansion's expenses usually come from? According to my current understanding, the City Governor's Mansion does not have a source of income, right? "Qin Xiao asked.
Firstly, the City Lord's Mansion did not collect taxes.
Secondly, the City Lord's Mansion did not charge any entrance fee.
Thirdly, the City Lord's Mansion did not do business.
Therefore, the City Lord Manor had no source of income at all. However, to maintain the normal operations of the City Lord Manor, they would definitely need Chaos Source Stones. Where would they come from?
General Manager Yuan shook his head and said, "Yes, Governor. The Governor's Mansion does not have any source of income."
"As for maintaining the normal operations of the City Lord's Mansion, it is indeed a little difficult, but it is relatively peaceful. Normally, we just rely on some tributes from the various races. "
"Therefore, the Freedom Corps can't get cultivation resources and can only rely on themselves."
"However, our City Lord's Mansion has always been simple and plain."
"The situation was better in the hands of the first city lord. The first city lord would provide cultivation resources to the Freedom Corps."
"Therefore, the scale of the Freedom Army was formed in the hands of the first city lord. Now, without cultivation resources, if they rely on themselves, it's basically impossible for a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate to be born. "
"However, our City Lord's Mansion has never competed, so we don't care too much about these things."
Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled. It would be difficult to find a second City Lord's Mansion that was so peaceful in the Celestial Territory.
How should he put it? It was not bad. It was the same after getting used to it. This had already become a custom.
However, if he could cultivate the Freedom Corps and make them stronger, it could also be considered a good thing, right?
However, if he wanted to do this, other methods would not work. He could only rely on himself as the City Lord.
Qin Xiao did not have many Chaos Source Stones on him now, nor did he have many other resources. Therefore, he could not do anything for the time being.
For the time being, he suppressed this idea. He would think about it when he had the ability in the future.
"Previously, there were City Lords who did business and collected taxes. City Lord, do you think we need it now?" General Manager Yuan asked again.
Qin Xiao immediately shook his head and firmly denied it. "No, our City Lord's Mansion should maintain its previous appearance."
"Firstly, we don't do business and secondly, we don't collect taxes. I think this is a very good tradition. This is the rule set by the first City Lord. We should carry it forward and not destroy it. "
"Freedom City has already gone against the tide in the hands of the previous City Lords. We can't continue like this. Instead, we have to uproot it and let Freedom City return to the right track as soon as possible. We have to restore Freedom City to its original appearance."
"This is also one of the tasks that I have to complete as the City Lord."
Qin Xiao's words made General Manager Yuan's heart tremble slightly. An undetectable look of approval flashed in the depths of his eyes.
General Manager Yuan's heart was also filled with excitement.
After waiting for so long, the City Lord who could bring hope to Freedom City had finally arrived.
Freedom City had been on the decline for a long time. If it was not salvaged, it would be too late.
Freedom City was the first City Lord's painstaking effort. It was a spiritual force and a place of faith.
Seeing that General Manager Yuan's expression seemed to be a little emotional, Qin Xiao asked, "General Manager Yuan, are you alright?"
General Manager Yuan finally regained his senses and revealed a faint smile. He said, "Oh, I'm alright, City Lord. It's just that I'm old and inexplicably sentimental."
Qin Xiao could sense that General Manager Yuan's feelings for Freedom City were extremely deep. His feelings for the first City Lord were probably irreplaceable.
Although he had served many other City Lords later on, he obviously felt different when he mentioned the first City Lord.
However, this was human nature. It could be seen that General Manager Yuan was also a person who valued friendship and righteousness.
It could be seen that he was able to gain the trust of the first City Lord.
"General Manager Yuan, I've been wanting to ask you a question. It may be a little presumptuous, but I don't know if it's appropriate to ask. I think you can guess it," Qin Xiao suddenly said.
General Manager Yuan looked at Qin Xiao and hesitated for a moment before saying, "City Lord, do you want to ask me if I'm a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, General Manager Yuan. Although you're showing the aura of a third-step Heavenly Venerate, I can vaguely sense that you're concealing your aura. Therefore, I'm guessing that you're most likely a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate.
Realm, right? "
A look of surprise flashed across General Manager Yuan's eyes. He said, "I didn't expect the City Lord to be able to see that I'm concealing my aura. Other than the first City Lord, no one else could see this."
"Today, the City Lord was able to directly see through it. You're really experienced."
"The method of concealing my aura was taught to me by the first City Lord. It should be very brilliant."
"I'm indeed a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate. However, I feel that it's better to keep a low profile when I'm with the first City Lord. Therefore, I've concealed my aura from the beginning and appeared as a third-step Heavenly Venerate. In this way, I won't become someone else's
Target. "
"My duty is to do my best to manage the trivial affairs of the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, I've always been an inconspicuous character."
"Since I'm an inconspicuous character, I naturally have to keep a low profile."
He was indeed a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate.
He had lived for so long and was a fourth-step Heavenly Venerate. Moreover, he had always been by the side of the first City Lord. Even if he had been influenced by an Ancient Saint, his strength would definitely not be simple.
Moreover, General Manager Yuan had always been deeply trusted by the first City Lord. Therefore, he would definitely be given certain benefits.
Therefore, Qin Xiao felt that General Manager Yuan's strength was probably unfathomable. It was just that he was concealing it.
There was obviously such an experienced character in the City Lord's Mansion, but no one knew about it.
"City Lord, let's not talk about this anymore. No matter how capable I am, I'm loyal to the City Lord. I'm dedicated to managing the City Lord's Mansion. I'm dedicated to doing my job diligently, "General Manager Yuan said.
Qin Xiao smiled and did not ask any more questions.
Regardless of whether it was the people in the City Lord's Mansion or the Freedom Corps, they were loyal to the City Lord. In fact, no matter who became the City Lord of Freedom City, they would be loyal to that person.
To be precise, they were loyal to the person sitting on the City Lord's throne, not to any specific person.
The advantage of this was that it could ensure that the City Lord's Mansion would continue to operate for a long time.
Even if the City Lord was no longer around and fell, the City Lord's mechanism would not collapse.
From this point of view, Qin Xiao could not help but admire the vision of the first City Lord. It was indeed brilliant and far-sighted to be able to think of such a method to ensure the operation of the City Lord's Mansion.
If that was not the case, the City Lord's Mansion would have collapsed with the departure of the first City Lord.
Although the City Lord's Mansion was slowly declining over the years and became a little chaotic, it was still maintained relatively well overall.
General Manager Yuan and the Freedom Corps must have contributed greatly to this.
"City Lord, let me take you to a place. Every free city lord could go to that place once, and only once, after they took up the post. Of course, the City Lord can choose not to go, but this old servant wants the City Lord to go, "General Manager Yuan said.
He suddenly said.
Qin Xiao pursed her lips and said, "General Manager Yuan, your words are always confusing."
"You already said that you want me to go, but you should at least let me know where it is, right?"
"Although it sounds like it must be related to the first City Lord, if you tell me, I'll have some idea, won't I?"
"It seems that there are still many secrets hidden in the City Lord's Mansion."
General Manager Yuan said, "The City Lord is a smart person. There is no need for this old servant to say anything. You can guess that it is indeed a place left behind by the first City Lord. It was also the order of the first City Lord that every subsequent City Lord could enter once.
。”
"Only once? Can't we force our way in? "Qin Xiao asked.
General Manager Yuan shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, it is a place left behind by the first City Lord. Naturally, many Formations and Prohibitions have been set up, and this old servant is needed to lead the way in. After entering, the City Lord will be recognized. If you enter again,
You will be recognized and will not be allowed to enter. "
"If you must force your way in, there is only one possibility, unless a powerful Ancient Saint has descended."
"… Alright." Qin Xiao pursed his lips. He was just asking out of curiosity.
He still respected the first City Lord of Freedom City very much. Naturally, Qin Xiao would not break the rules set by him.
Once, there was naturally a reason for it.
Since it was left behind by the first City Lord of Freedom City, Qin Xiao naturally wanted to take a look, "General Manager Yuan, please lead the way."
General Manager Yuan nodded, but he led the way in front.
