Unsurpassed Martial Saint

Chapter 655 Acting City Lord
"So urgent?"

Qin Yi couldn't help but startled when he heard that, Zhou Kun and others were about to leave as soon as he came back.

"No hurry."

Zhou Kun smiled and said, "I planned to leave two days ago, but I still want to wait for you to come back."

He was worried, only seeing Qin Yi could confirm the safety of this nephew, if anything happened to Qin Yi, he really didn't know how to explain to Qin Yi's mother.

When Qin Yi heard the words, he could hear the worry in Zhou Kun's words, and felt a little moved in his heart.

"And the journey is far away, so go early and return early."

Zhou Kun continued to explain.

"Alright."

Qin Yi smiled knowingly, then thought of something, and said, "Do my mother and aunt know?"

"No."

Zhou Kun smiled triumphantly and said, "Give them a surprise then."

"Ok."

Qin Yi smiled helplessly, then changed the topic again, and said, "The ancient tomb in Huanghe Town is about to be opened, can you come back?"

"Probably not." Zhou Kun said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, taking Yuliu back now is the most important thing."

"Too."

Qin Yi nodded, then glanced at Zishan Yuliu, and saw the happiness on the face of this future aunt.

"By the way, since you're back, this guy has something he wants to discuss with you."

With that said, Zhou Kun looked at City Lord Zihong.

"Ok?"

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that the Lord Zihong would have anything to discuss with him.

"I also went back this time. I haven't seen my father for many years and worried about them."

The owner of Zihong City didn't hide anything, and said solemnly: "However, after I leave, I don't worry about Zihong City." After a pause, "So... I want you to temporarily manage Zihong City on my behalf."

"This……"

When Qin Yi heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a moment, but he could hear the sincerity in the tone of Zihong City Lord.

"No confidence?"

The Zihong City Lord made no secret of his praise for Qin Yi.

"Not at all."

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm not used to it."

"Then it's decided like this. From now on, you will be the acting city lord of Zihong City."

City Lord Zihong said without a doubt.

"OK then."

Qin Yi is by no means a hypocritical person.

"Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person."

City Lord Zihong laughed, and said: "I have some time now, let me go to the City Lord's Mansion with me first, so that I can introduce some people to you."

"no problem."

Thus, Zihong City Lord and Qin Yi left Zhou Wangfu.

"Will it be a problem?"

Yan Yanjun was obviously a little worried, not because he was worried about Qin Yi's ability, but because Zihong City was too complicated, and without the identity and background of Zihong Sect disciples, it was difficult to manage.

"It should be fine."

Zhou Kun wasn't sure either. He had lived in Scarlet Cloud City for a long time and knew the Lord of Scarlet Cloud. He knew that being the Lord of the City was not easy.

not to mention……

Qin Yi has no management experience in this area. Compared with those powerful people in Zihong City, he seems too young to convince the public, and this is the most terrible thing.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

In the large study room.

The others had dispersed long ago, leaving only City Lord Zihong, Qin Yi and Butler Zishan.

The Zihong City Lord was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, and the Zishan Butler was standing behind him. The eyes of the two fell on Qin Yi who was not far away.

"Is there any problem?"

The Lord Zihong asked casually.

"Not yet."

Qin Yi put down a book in his hand, which recorded the main personnel of the major families in Zihong City.

"That's good."

The Zihong City Lord smiled with satisfaction, and Qin Yi's self-confidence could be seen.

"By the way, there is one more thing to remind you."

City Lord Zihong thought of something, and said solemnly: "Be careful with the Deputy City Lord."

"Vice City Lord?"

When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately thought of an ambitious middle-aged man. Even if the Lord Zihong didn't say anything, he would be more careful.

There is no other reason.

Not only the appearance of the deputy city lord, but more importantly, the deputy city lord is a member of the Ziyi clan.

Although the Ziyi Clan, Zipao Clan and Zishan Clan are the three major clans in Zihong City, Qin Yi heard from Zishan Mengying that the conflict between the Ziyi Clan and the Zishan Clan is the deepest.

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't talk to him."

Qin Yi suddenly said something confidently.

"Oh?"

The Lord Zihong was a little surprised, even the housekeeper Zishan was no exception.

"Then I'll wait and see."

As he said that, City Lord Zihong glanced at Butler Zishan and said, "Help him well."

"clear."

The butler Zishan said respectfully, although he didn't know why the Zihong City Lord would entrust such a heavy responsibility to a little guy like Qin Yi who hadn't even grown his hair yet.

It is undeniable that Qin Yi is very powerful, and now he is at the peak of the eighth level of Yuan Dao, but with this level of strength, he is not enough to walk sideways in Zihong City, let alone invincible.

More importantly...

Qin Yi's experience in this area is blank.

Completely blank!
This is a very fatal flaw, which may kill Qin Yi at any time.

Zihong City is not an ordinary city, and the internal struggle is very fierce and cruel. Butler Zishan is really worried that Qin Yi will not be able to handle it.

It's not that Zishan Butler doesn't believe in Qin Yi's ability, but that he doesn't believe in Qin Yi's blank experience.

only……

Since the Zihong city lord attached so much importance to Qin Yi, he had already explained it, and there was no time to change to other people, so Zishan butler could only accept it silently.

"Ah."

The Zihong City Lord understood the doubts of the Zishan housekeeper, but he didn't intend to explain too much. Facts speak louder than words, and I believe Qin Yi will not let him down.

In fact, Qin Yi didn't understand either, but he had no reason to refuse.

At least, since he became the acting city lord, it would be safer for Xiao Qingwu and others to stay here.

Qin Yi probably wanted to break his head, but he couldn't even imagine it. The reason why Zihong City Lord did this was purely to match Qin Yi and Zishan Mengying, especially when he learned that Qin Yi and Zishan Mengying had already known each other. Be firm with this thought.

The Lord Zihong knew that Zishan Mengying was not young, especially when he broke through to the realm of the holy way. I have also seen Qin Yi's ability. It should be a good thing if Qin Yi and Zishan Mengying can become Taoist couples.

The Lord Zihong also knows that it is not an easy task to bring Qin Yi and Zishan Mengying together, especially the resistance from the Zishan clan.

The Lord Zihong knew better than anyone else the resistance from the Zishan clan.

Because of this, he wants to help Qin Yi prepare more capital.

If Qin Yi can manage Zihong City well, it can be regarded as a kind of capital, especially when the four deserts are in a mess.

In special times, if you show special abilities, you will naturally get higher scores.

the most important……

If Qin Yi became a disciple of Zihong City because of his meritorious service in managing Zihong City, then it would be more likely that he and Zishan Mengying would become Taoist couples.

Qin Yi wanted to fly to a higher place, so joining Zihongmen was a good choice.

At least, City Lord Zihong thinks so.

The four wastelands have long been unsuitable for Qianlong like Qin Yi.

Only worlds like Beiyun Tianyu and Jiucai Tianyu are suitable for Qin Yi to play.

"Okay, I'll go back first."

Qin Yi stood up suddenly, apologetic, and smiled slightly: "You know, if the two daughters wake up and don't see me, they will definitely come out to look for me."

"You go back first."

The Lord Zihong smiled indifferently.

"Farewell."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yi turned and left the study.

……

Zhou Wangfu.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

Xiao Qingwu woke up suddenly from sleep, and did not see Qin Yi, so she called out softly.

"Daddy has something to do, go out."

Outside the room, there was a helpless voice from the Green Mist Winged Snake.

Xiao Qingwu and Xiao Ziyan are fine with everything, even if they miss Qin Yi's father too much, it seems that if they don't see Qin Yi every day, they will feel uncomfortable.

"Going out again?"

Xiao Qingwu asked a little disappointed.

"I'll be back soon this time."

The Qingwu Winged Snake knew what Xiao Qingwu was worried about, and thought it would take a long time to come back.

"Really?"

Xiao Qingwu asked happily.

"of course."

"Then I'll wait outside for Daddy."

After saying that, Xiao Qingwu rushed out of the room.

"Sister, wait for me."

Little Ziyan immediately chased after her.

"These two little guys..."

The Qingwu Winged Snake flew into the room, but didn't see Xiao Qingwu and Xiao Ziyan, a helpless smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn't worry too much when he heard that the two little guys were just waiting outside the door.

……

Outside the Zhou Palace.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Xiao Ziyan followed Xiao Qingwu, seeing her sister walking out the door, but she didn't intend to stop, so she asked suspiciously.

"Of course I went to find my father."

Xiao Qingwu said it as a matter of course.

"That's not good?"

Xiao Ziyan looked timid, and said: "If mother finds out, I will be scolded again."

"She won't know."

Xiao Qingwu said proudly: "As long as you don't tell, I won't tell, and when I find daddy, daddy will definitely not say anything."

"This……"

Xiao Ziyan didn't know what to say, she was also very conflicted, worried that her mother would be unhappy, and wanted to see her father very much.

"Let's go, don't be a mother-in-law."

Xiao Qingwu took Xiao Ziyan's small hand, and said seriously: "There is still a trace of father's smell, if it takes a while, it may disappear."

Qin Yi's smell is exactly the fragrance of dragon soul.

Little Qingwu and Little Ziyan were sanctified as elixir, and they were still very sensitive to the fragrance of the dragon soul that radiated from the Nether Dragon Fruit.

"OK then."

Xiao Ziyan finally compromised.

"hey-hey……"

Xiao Qingwu smiled triumphantly, then pulled Xiao Ziyan and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

only……

Before they left the street where King Zhou's Mansion was located, Xiao Qingwu and Xiao Ziyan heard a familiar shouting sound coming from ahead.

At some point, ten tall figures stood together and blocked the entrance of the street, blocking their way.

"It's you again!"
