It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 73 Shelter for Troubled Children
Zhu Yan was a little surprised, because of course it was best to do this kind of thing secretly.

After all, Bao Longtao is a descendant of the Zhu family. Although his surname is not Zhu, as long as anyone is willing to investigate, they will definitely know what is going on.

But it doesn't hurt to know. As long as he and Zhao Yong don't attend, even if someone knows, they won't expose it.

But if the two of them show up, will they inevitably be ridiculed?

"I figured something out!"

Zhao Yong's voice was a little low.

Zhu Yan was curious: "What happened?"

Zhao Yong took a deep breath: "Why do people need to be so shameless?"

Zhu Yan: "..."

Zhao Yong snorted: "Look at that Zhao Ci, everyone knows he is shameless. After the auction, we arrested all those who spread rumors. Everyone in Linge knows that Zhao Ci is the initiator, but he He already had the alchemy furnace and didn't pay any attention to those who scolded him.

In private, he speaks freely, and his words are as vulgar as a street gangster. What impact does it have on him?
I think the reason why we suffered such big losses before was because losing was too shameful.

Even if we ruin this dinner, it will just create more gossip. Will it affect our achievements?

Besides, our Nine Princes’ Mansion also accepts government officials.

If there really is a chance to enter the Ninth Prince's Palace and make achievements, do you think those people would be willing to mix elixirs in the Tenth Prince's Palace? "

He really couldn't stand it.

Why can Zhao Ci go to work on the third route?

But he has to maintain the so-called princely demeanor.

Grace has its uses!

I want to feel good!
I want to see Zhao Ci’s expression as if he’s dead.

Zhu Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "What His Highness said makes sense! If that's the case, I will be ready to accompany you to the Tenth Prince's Mansion!"

Zhao Yong nodded: "Tell Bao Longtao to perform well. If he performs well, he will be rewarded heavily!"

After Zhu Yan left, Zhao Yong took out a book from the drawer.

There are seven characters written on the cover: Zhao Yong’s life insights.

This is a habit he has developed since childhood, which is to reflect on himself when life is not going well. Every time he reflects, he will gain something new, which will be of infinite use in his future life.

He took a deep breath and flipped through the first ten pages, which were densely packed with records.

Pick up the pen and drop the ink.

There is an extra line on the blank page No. 11.

People!Don't be too shameless!

……

Dusk falls.

The lights are on.

Linge is the most prosperous city in the world, and it is daytime until midnight.

However, this also depends on the location. Those that can always have bright lights are usually in downtown areas.

The area where dignitaries lived, although guests were often entertained, was generally relatively clean.

It’s just that the Ten Princes’ Mansion is particularly lively tonight.

Even before the dinner began, hundreds of guests had already arrived. The concierge and guards in the mansion were all brought out to greet the guests, and they were very busy.

"Hey! There are so many people. The Ten Princes' Palace will rise in the future!"

Feng Kucha was dressed in a smart outfit, with the pattern of the official of the Tenth Prince's Palace embroidered on the front of his clothes. Three days ago, he decided to join the Tenth Prince's Palace as an official, so he immediately urged the palace to compensate the Demon Slayer Division.

The compensation process that originally took three days to complete took only half a day due to his urging.

Then the next day he asked his second uncle to write a letter of recommendation.

Feng Laoer was naturally unwilling, because the Zhu family had made a mistake before, sending Zhu Li, who was recognized as a waste in alchemy, into the Tenth Prince's Palace. As a result, Zhu Li rose to prominence.

However, Feng Kucha stalked the Feng family. There was no civil strife in the Feng family like the Zhu family. Feng Lao Er still respected Boss Feng very much. Boss Feng had always felt guilty for letting Feng Kucha enter Linge for his legitimate son, regardless of whether it was true or not. I feel really guilty, or at least act guilty.

In addition, Feng Kucha's waste is very three-dimensional, unlike Zhu Li who only has fire control talent.

So Feng Laoer thought for a long time and wrote this letter of recommendation.

After getting the letter, Feng Kucha didn't care that the roosters hadn't crowed and it was still dawn, so he kicked open Zhao Ci's door and took him to squat at the door of the Zongren Mansion, waiting for the Zongren Mansion to open.

Now... he is already a legitimate official.

"Humph……"

There was Zhao Ci between Zhu Li and him, and he snorted angrily.

What grade!

Want to be the official of the same government as me?
She remembered clearly that when she first became a government official, Feng Kucha looked like he had seen a ghost, clearly feeling that he was useless.

But he is obviously worse than himself.

wrong!

He was not a waste at all, but the number one alchemist of Xingyu Dan Society. When Zhao Ci saw him, he had to give him a warm greeting.

I was supposed to be happy today.

Zhao Ci sat at the head seat of the banquet, and he, the first official, sat at the deputy seat. Everyone was relatively well-ranked. However, Feng Kucha did not contribute any credit and took the other deputy seat.

She felt that her gold content had been lowered.

She wanted to sit at the same table as Zhao Ci, but she was afraid that others would think she relied on her beauty to get to the top.

If she hadn't been afraid that Zhao Ci would lose face, she would have started a riot long ago.

unhappy!
Looking at her sulking look, Zhao Ci could guess what she was thinking. It was reasonable for the assembly line queen to look down on those with connections.

But the little girl is very sensible.

It will be fine in the future.

He glanced below. Because there were many hardships in the country, the nobles had the luxury of nobles, but most of them did not understand the luxury of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Even the emperor took the lead in frugality, so the Tenth Prince's Palace could not be said to be luxurious.

However, in a country where everyone is martial, it is common to compete in private for fun, and a martial arts arena in Fujun is almost standard.

Setting up a few tables around the martial arts arena would be enough to entertain a hundred people.

These civil and military talents are really powerful. They can make a living, hope to sign lucrative offers, and invite all their friends to come.

More than 100 people.

Accounting for almost one-third of the government candidates.

The scholars who had arrived at the scene were all wearing warrior blouses, but they were sitting in front of the dining table in a formal manner. They greeted each other in a formal manner, which seemed quite inconsistent.

Zhao Ci did not greet them in advance, but just sat in the main seat and quietly watched the people coming and going.

But he never thought that he would see a familiar figure.

He was a little surprised and waved his hand in the distance.

"Yang Mo!"

This person was none other than his good-for-nothing friend from the Yang family in southern Yunnan.

The one who sold him the fungi.

He's a dull gourd egg and can't do anything for a long time, but he's a nice person and will help him in any way he can.

In the former Linge trash group, he was just a little transparent, and his presence was much lower than that of Feng Kucha.

Of course, what impressed Zhao Ci the most was the subtitles that often hung on his head.

[Yang Mo’s current wish]: Don’t be tortured by your parents when you go home today.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Torture Talisman X1.

Because it was difficult to get involved in the affairs of the Yang family and the comprehension value of the reward was not high, Zhao Ci never had the chance to fulfill this wish.

To this day, this wish still hangs on his forehead.

As soon as Yang Mo entered the courtyard, he heard Zhao Ci's voice. An unskilled smile suddenly appeared on his dull face. He walked over quickly and saluted solemnly: "Your Highness!"

He is quite polite in public places and usually calls him Zhao Ci.

But it has something to do with his origin. After all, his father is a concubine of the Yang family, and his status in the family is not high to begin with. In addition, since he has no talent for cultivation, his status is even lower.

Feng Kucha was quite enthusiastic: "Old Mo, why are you here too? Without saying anything in advance, come here quickly and share a table with me!"

Yang Mo was a little moved, but still looked at Zhao Ci cautiously.

Zhao Ci looked at Cuiyun who was waiting on the side: "Go and prepare a meal table for Young Master Yang. Place it next to Young Master Feng."

"no, I'm fine!"

Yang Mo hurriedly squeezed in next to Feng Kucha: "It's my fault to come here, just squeeze in with Lao Feng."

Feng Kucha didn't pay attention to this, and even moved his butt to make way for Yang Mo.Those young heroes who are in charge of things are scheming and fighting each other. The Linge Waste Group focuses on harmony. Everyone eats, drinks and has fun together, and there are few conflicts.

He suddenly thought of something and looked at Yang Mo doubtfully: "Today is the day when His Highness Zhao... is recruiting government officials. If you come here today, don't you want to be a government official?"

"I……"

Yang Mo hesitated a little, holding the fabric in front of his knees tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning a little blue.

Feng Kucha was obviously right.

a time.

Feng Kucha was also a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Zhao Ci. He couldn't take charge of the matter of recruiting officials. It was normal for the useless groups to help each other, but this involved government strife. He was already a burden on his own. But I dare not sell this favor on behalf of Zhao Ci.

Zhao Ci also had some headaches. Yang Mo's parents were extremely chickens. One sentence summed it up by saying, "My parents have been like this all their lives. You are our only hope. We have given you everything we can, but you can't." Disappointing".

Quite suffocating.

Yang Mo is autistic, mostly because of these. He is quite enterprising, but has achieved nothing for so many years.

Zhao Ci wanted to help him, but it was just a matter of government struggle... You must know that although Yang Mo was a commoner, he was actually a child of the seven major clans, and he occupied the quota of a meritorious family.Ask.

How can you reject someone tactfully without hurting your feelings?
"Your Highness!"

Yang Mo squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I did come here for this matter. I didn't tell you in private before because I thought I might drag you down, but after returning home, my parents You cry, make trouble, and hang yourself. You have to let me come and beg you.

When I heard that you wanted to select government officials, I also wanted to give it a try.

If I can win tonight, I hope you can consider me.

of course!

You don’t have to choose me. After all, it’s not honorable to bully people from a wealthy family. "

Zhao Ci: "..."

This sincere statement is really hard to refuse.

But right now.

The subtitles on Yang Mo's head slowly changed.

[Yang Mo’s current wish]: To be able to overcome fear and emerge from the cocoon into a butterfly.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10000, talent can be stolen: Divine Chrysalis.

Zhao Ci: "..."

Take, how much?

He's numb!
Ten thousand comprehension value?
Golden wish?

What the hell!

He was stunned. This was the first time he saw the golden wish.

But... why?

He encountered many purple wishes, but all of them were extremely costly or extremely difficult to complete.

But even so, it's just purple.

Golden Wish... is outrageous!

And this talent called "Godly Chrysalis" may be exaggerated. After all, the rewards of purple wishes are already the best among the best. As for gold...

But if Yang Mo had such talent, why did he become the same trash as himself and Feng Kucha?

I don't understand.

But was shocked.

Using the Insight Talisman directly, two new lines of subtitles immediately appeared on Yang Mo's head.

[Current cultivation level]: The physical divine treasure has not been opened - body refining period (seventh body refining, fifth-grade flesh and soul)

[Estimated upper limit]: Seventh Divine Treasure +
Zhao Ci: "..."

There is a saying that normal people will perform body refining ten times, and the first refining will have the best effect. Unless a miracle occurs, the body can be upgraded by one level at most.After training for the seventh time, he was only at the fifth level of physical fitness. It wasn't particularly bad, but it was frighteningly mediocre.

But the estimated upper limit can actually open up all the seven sacred treasures of the human body, and there is even an extra "+" at the end?
This……

"Your Highness?"

When Yang Mo saw that Zhao Ci didn't reply for a long time, he thought he was organizing to reject his words, and his face turned pale.

Zhao Ci smiled and said: "I have always thought you are a talent. If you want to be a government official, just come directly. Why bully these civilian-born scholars? Your Yang family uses poison. It is not good to poison them. !”

This Yang Mo definitely has potential.

Don't even worry about his potential. Just these [-] comprehension points and the talent of God Chrysalis are enough for him to take a gamble.

Feng Kucha was shocked: "!!!"

Zhu Li was also shocked: "!!!"

Why does the boss accept all weird people?

My aunt and grandma are so angry that it hurts!

But after all, it was in public. She rubbed her chest and closed herself off again.

There is nothing I can do except persuade myself not to be angry.

After all, Zhao Ci promised that she was the mainstay of the Xingyu Dan Society, and she would not lose any of the benefits she deserved.

But...she still hopes that Zhao Ci can lead her to make great achievements!
This Yang Mo...

Yang Mo was also confused: "No, no! Your Highness, do you agree now?"

Zhao Ci nodded: "Nonsense, I have long thought you are a talent!"

"I……"

Yang Mo was a little dizzy, am I a talent?I do not know how?
Zhu Li's face turned pale and she rubbed her chest again.

Zhao Cisheng was afraid that she would become angry, so he added with a smile: "Look at Zhu Zongfang, I am the one who picked out the pigs from the vast crowd!

Before the Gongdan Conference, there were quite a few people with cerebral palsy who bullied Zhu Zongfang, but now they all shrink their heads when they see Zhu Zongfang.

There is never mediocrity in this world, it’s just genius in the wrong place! "

"Ok?"

Zhu Li frowned, and a light of wisdom suddenly flashed in his eyes. Is this really the case?

It must be so!
His Highness, the Tenth Highness, is not very good at other things, but he has a good vision.

Otherwise, how can you pick yourself out with your discerning eyes?
She immediately felt that her chest was no longer so tight, and she raised her white neck: "Yes! I've noticed it a long time ago. You see, when Feng Kucha entered the house, I didn't raise any objections. Yang Mo, please stop inking. Just enter the palace with peace of mind. If anything happens in the future, as the chief official of the Tenth Prince's Palace, I will definitely protect you!"

The tone is sonorous.

Speaking of excitement, he even waved his arms like lotus joints.

Quite the temperament of doing MLM.

Zhao Ci: "..."

Yang Mo was so excited that he didn't know what to do and thanked him repeatedly.

However, Zhao Ci did not restrain himself just now, and the phrase "Mediocrity is a misplaced genius" also reached the ears of others present.

They were all very excited for a moment, and they all looked towards Zhao Ci. The martial arts arena was surprisingly quiet.

Zhao Ci also stood up and said: "It has been more than half a month since I opened my palace, but the people in the palace are still indifferent. Thank you all for coming. Of course, today's dinner is not just for recruiting officials. You will make friends with martial arts. Regardless of whether we can work together in the future, we will all Be the pillars of the great Yu. I respect you all for this glass of wine!"

"We respect your highness!"

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses together, feeling faintly excited in their hearts.

However, before the wine was in his mouth, he heard a voice coming from outside.

"Old Shi! I'm late for my brother. You said such a big thing, but you actually hid it."

Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhao Yong walking in with Zhu Yan.

All they could do was salute.

"I have seen His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"I have seen His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"I have seen His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

Zhao Ci looked at Zhao Yong with a smile on his face and felt a little nervous. This man came to stir up trouble again.

Zhao Yong smiled slightly and said: "Old Shi, I'm here, why don't you prepare a seat?"

Zhao Ci glanced at the person below and knew what he was thinking.

He also wanted Zhao Yong to sit on the ground.

But doing this in public is a loss of royal etiquette. Now Zhao Huan, the old man, is just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. If he makes a fuss about this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

So he looked at Cuiyun: "Cuiyun, go and prepare a meal table!"

"Yes!"

Cuiyun took the order and left quickly.

Zhao Yong frowned and said, "Old Shi, there are two of us. Isn't it appropriate for you to prepare only one sheet?"

"What's inappropriate?"

Zhao Ci pointed at Feng Kucha and Yang Mo: "In our place, if you are in a good relationship, you will sit at the table. Ahem..."

He coughed a few times, attracting everyone's attention.

Then he continued: "Let me introduce to you. After a while, I will go to Beisan County to bestow elixirs on behalf of the emperor as the envoy of elixirs. Brother Jiuhuang will be my deputy envoy of elixirs. Everyone applauds to welcome me, brother Jiuhuang." Take a seat!”

Done.

He patted the position next to him.

This bench can barely accommodate two people.

But Zhao Ci was sitting in the middle with no intention of moving to one side.

Clap clap clap clap!
The people who didn't know why burst into applause.

Zhao Yong did not move at all.

Zhao Ci asked back: "Brother Huang, why don't you sit down? Do you feel that your relationship with me, a younger brother, is not good enough?"

Zhao Yong: "???"

Is the deputy envoy inferior to others?

He looked at the edge of the stool where he could only put his buttocks down half way.

His cheeks twitched slightly.
