"What? He Yao was defeated by someone called Mubai before he could even see Mu Ningxue?" Li Kuang sprang to his feet in the Li Clan's residence after receiving the news.
Even though Li Kuang was not present at the match, he was very concerned about it. He was hoping to see Mu Ningxue lose the match. Mu Ningxue was the winner of the World College Tournament. She was also considered a phoenix among the young Mages in recent years. On top of that, she now had Fanxue Mountain, which had a lot of potential. Many young and talented Mages were attracted to join Fanxue Mountain because of her reputation.
The strength of the younger generation was very, very important. Most people who were over 40 years old would find it very, very difficult to increase their cultivation. Once a person reached 40 years old, their energy and physical strength would begin to deteriorate. The path of cultivation itself was to break through one's own limits. If a person was already aging, how could they break through their body's limits?
Therefore, every faction was looking for young Mages to recruit. As for the older Mages, they either already had their own factions, or they were asking for exorbitant prices!
Mu Ningxue's reputation meant that many young Mages would be attracted to her. Wasn't that the Huntress called Shao Yu one of them?
Besides, if He Yao had not offended Fanxue Mountain in the first place because of his pride, would he have joined Fanxue Mountain after losing the match?
The Dali Clan desperately wanted someone to end Mu Ningxue's reputation so that Fanxue Mountain's luck would drop a little. However, not only did He Yao fail to accomplish his mission, he even praised someone called Mubai so much that the whole city knew about him!
"I know about this Mubai … but I didn't expect him to improve so quickly. Even He Yao is no match for him," a woman in a rose-red cheongsam behind Li Kuang said.
"Mu Xumian, why didn't you take part in the match? Wouldn't it be easier if you took part in the match? That He Yao even said he wanted to live in seclusion in the woods," Li Kuang sighed.
"Right now, I'm someone who can't appear in public. The higher-ups paid such a huge price to redeem me from the Dongfang Family. For the next two years, I can only be a behind-the-scenes person. Mubai, this Mubai, he actually ruined my good thing. If I knew this kid was so capable now, I should have drugged him or something when he was still full of vigor and taken him down in bed! "Mu Xumian's voice was like a coquettish fox.
Li Kuang, who was standing at the side, was a slightly older man. However, when he heard Mu Xumian's gentle voice and her words, he couldn't help but feel his crotch erect.
Unfortunately, even though Li Kuang was the second-in-command of the Dali Clan, he did not dare to touch Mu Xumian. She was a core member of the Mu Xumian Clan. She was like a secretary sent by the central government to the local government!
"We'll give half of South Wing Street to Fanxue Mountain. It's not a big deal. We can do a lot of things with the street around. As for the South Wing Platoon, if He Yao decides to live in seclusion, it's hard to tell who will be the leader of the South Wing Platoon, "Mu Xumian said.
The South Wing Platoon was a powerful platoon of Mages in every region. It was under the Magic Association, but it was not under their control. It was a group of heroic Mages in a city or region that was in danger. It was similar to the Purple Forbidden Mages of the Ancient Capital, the Royal Mages of the Imperial Capital, the Brown Rock Mages of the Dingcheng City … it was an honorable title that was highly respected by the local residents. It had a great influence on the military, the Magic Association, the government, the renowned clans, and the people.
Feiniao Headquarters City was a city in the southeast that was still under construction. It was necessary to have an honorable platoon of Mages. Feiniao Headquarters City was recruiting South Wing Mages through the Young Adults Tournament. Even though it was a new faction, it had a lot to do with the entire Feiniao Headquarters City.
The Dali Clan was trying to recruit their people into the South Wing Platoon as soon as possible. That way, they would have a greater say in Feiniao Headquarters City and slowly become the leader among the renowned clans in Feiniao Headquarters City.
"There's a message from the city council," Li Kuang suddenly frowned.
"What do you mean?" Mu Xumian asked.
"That goddamned He Yao, not only did he choose to live in seclusion, he even recommended Mubai, who defeated him, to be the leader of the South Wing Platoon!" Li Kuang snarled.
The South Wing Platoon was a place that only valued strength. There was no room for deception.
He Yao, who had won the tournament, was supposed to be appointed as the leader of the South Wing Platoon, but he had decided to give up on the position due to his temperament.
He Yao was someone who cared about his reputation, too. Otherwise, he would not have challenged Mu Ningxue in public. He knew the whole southeast would soon know that he had lost to Mubai. He would feel extremely wronged as the leader of the South Wing Platoon, so he decided to give up on the position.
Feiniao City would naturally respect He Yao's decision and hope that he could recommend someone else since the position was rejected.
He Yao was not a snobbish person. He would only recommend the strongest person to take up the position. As such, he recommended Mubai, who had defeated him. He believed Mubai was the strongest young man. As a matter of fact, He Yao would not have recommended anyone if Mubai was only slightly stronger than him. Who would be the leader of the South Wing Platoon if someone like him was not appointed?
"It's fine, it's his recommendation. The city council can't just appoint someone for no reason," Mu Xumian said.
"They've already appointed him!" Li Kuang said with a dark face.
"What?" Mu Xumian went closer to read the message. She cursed when she saw the city council had actually made the announcement, "Is there something wrong with the people at the city council? How could they give such an important position to a kid?"
…
…
Fanxue Mountain, at night, the main building of Fanxue Villa was having a celebration.
The main members of Fanxue Mountain were sitting around a round table. They raised their glasses of red wine and cheered loudly.
Mubai sat in the main seat with an awkward smile as he responded to the people who were celebrating for him.
"Congratulations, Mubai, you have become the leader of the South Wing Platoon of Feiniao City. It's equivalent to being the captain of the platoon. Fanxue Mountain will have a say in Feiniao City from now on!" Mu Linsheng emptied his glass after finishing the speech.
"Well … I actually have no idea what's going on," Mubai was still wearing a blank face.
