Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

When Wang Luo returned to Shifu, he was filled with emotion about the changes in the world.

It is still the small courtyard with gray bricks and brown tiles and a maroon door. The butler tree in the courtyard is as diligent and hospitable as ever, sending a fragrant breeze from a distance.

The little girl standing guard at the door looked as restless as a wife whose husband had been away in the army for three years and had yet to pay back his one-year-old child.

Seeing Wang Luo, the little girl trotted over and asked: "Master Mountain Master, are you okay? Did the Master of Lili Hall give you any trouble? And what happened to Yu Xiaobo? The head of the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Golden Deer Hall She has come to Rongcheng! The Governor has gone to greet her. Is she here because of you? Another person from the Governor's Office sent a form, saying it is for the registration of the Lord of Lingshan..."

After this series of questions, Shi Yue took a deep breath, and then said with a little resentment: "Master Mountain Master, you clearly said that you would release me from the small dark room when the matter is over!"

So Wang Luo did feel a bit remorseful - he had really forgotten about this matter. He didn't even remember that he had blocked the chief of the Outer Mountain Sect in the Ascension Record in the past two days.

But come to think of it, this actually has tradition. When Lu Zhiyao and Wang Luo were being chased by Song Yijing, she also said to him: "You hide here first and don't move around. I'll buy some oranges..."

After that, Wang Luo starved alone on Gushan for several days before he was discovered by senior brother Xing Chong who was passing by and cutting down trees. As a result, Lu Zhiyao's solitary sentence was doubled.

At this time, recalling the glorious past made Wang Luo feel sad, so he followed the example of his senior sister and handed the breakfast bag to Shi Yue.

"Then I'll give you this bowl of fried liver as an apology."

The little girl suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "It's so insincere!"

But she still took it honestly and swallowed her saliva. She stayed in front of the door all day and night without even bothering to eat. She was really hungry at this time.

"Then I'll give you another fortune, okay?"

When Shi Yue heard this, he said seriously: "I don't care about glory and wealth."

Wang Luo thought for a while: "Then I will give you another glorious and arduous mission, okay?"

Shi Yue said: "...I'd better choose wealth."

The so-called wealth naturally refers to the big cake painted by Zhang Fuhong.

In the context of Rongcheng's development, the richest man in Shijie funded the construction of Lingshan. The vast land outside the restricted area is where future wealth lies.

Although Zhang Fuhong approached Wang Luo directly and his only trusted partner was Wang Luo, the master of Lingshan Mountain himself did not want to come forward to manage the general affairs outside Baidian - that was the responsibility of the outer mountain sect.

What's more, no matter how the name of the mountain owner is registered, the management rights of Lingshan still belong to Shi Yue.

Afterwards, the two pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, set up a small table under the tree, planted a lotus pedestal, and while simply eating local delicacies from Xiangshan Road, they discussed cooperation matters with Zhang Fuhong.

Shi Yue's attitude was a little lukewarm: "If the mountain master thinks it is feasible, of course the subordinates will have no objection. After all, this is also the responsibility of the Shi family."

Wang Luo asked: "What do you mean by the truth?"

Shi Yue said: "Do you really think Fatty Zhang can do it? Of course I know he is not as simple as he seems. The return of the jade talisman on Shijie is thanks to his help, but what he says now is just empty talk. Whether it can happen or not, I’m afraid it all depends on you, the mountain owner.”

Wang Luo said: "As the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty..."

Shi Yue said angrily: "Yes! When he was showing off his power on Stone Street with his weird look of blond hair and blue eyes and was punished by the neighbors, he always said this sentence! I just watched He grew up being chased and beaten!”

After a pause, Shi Yue himself was discouraged: "It's still hard to imagine that the fat man who makes a joke is all pretending. It's even harder to imagine him replacing Zhang Yu as the richest man in Stone Street... It feels like a nightmare. It’s as if it came true, Lord Mountain Lord, do you know? When he was beaten up by the children on the street, he often said: When I inherit the family property, I will buy your store and let your parents pay for it. I work!"

Wang Luo pondered for a while and couldn't help but smile: "If you know the basics so well, wouldn't it be more reliable to cooperate?"

Shi Yue explained: "It's because I know the basics so well that I don't feel at ease. If a person can overturn the existing impression he has formed for more than 20 years overnight, then what else can he trust? ?”

Wang Luo smiled: "When you admit that I am the master of Lingshan Mountain, you are giving up your common sense of the past ten years."

"..." Shi Yue was finally speechless, "I understand, I will cooperate with him from now on, and then I will do my best."

"Let's come together for the dinner in two days. Zhang Fuhong said that Xueshuanglou's frozen pot is a specialty of Rongcheng. I'm quite curious."

Shi Yue sighed: "If you had signed up for my group with those uncles and aunties, you would have had the opportunity to try the frozen pot as planned."

After a pause, Shi Yue suddenly smiled: "If this continues, if Lingshan really becomes a scenic spot with constant tourists every day... it feels like a dream just thinking about it."

——

Unfortunately, the dinner planned by Wang Luo and Zhang Fuhong two days later had to be postponed.

Because two days later, the Governor's Mansion will hold a grand ceremony witnessed by the whole city. At the ceremony, the head of the Internal Affairs Office of the Golden Deer Hall will present the Jade Branch Medal, which symbolizes the country's highest honor, to Han Guming, the governor of Rongcheng, on behalf of the country's leader Lu Youyou.

The Jade Branch Medal was designed by the founding leader, Lord Lu Zhiyao, and was condensed from the top branches of Jianmu. The materials and craftsmanship used for each Jade Branch Medal are no different from the Jade Throne that symbolizes the kingship of Zhuwang.

In other words, the Jade Branch Medal is almost an extension of the Jade Throne, and the awarding of such a medal is equivalent to enfeoffment.

Even for the governor's family, the Han family, which has the actual enfeoffment, the Jade Branch Medal is an extremely rare honor. Five hundred years ago, when Lu Zhiyao moved the capital to Youcheng and handed over the old capital to the Han family, he personally awarded a Jade Branch Medal to the ancestor of the Han family.

But after the death of the first governor, the medal naturally returned to the Jade Throne. In the next five hundred years, the Han family has not been able to obtain a second Jade Branch Medal.

Until today.

The awarding ceremony of the Governor's Office is obviously not just a reward for Han Guming's decades of hard work by the Golden Deer Hall - most of the previous governors have been hardworking, but the Golden Deer Hall has never given such an honor.

Something big must be happening, whether it's the Jade Branch Medal or the sudden witness of the whole city...

According to the rumors spread by a few well-informed people during this period.

Perhaps, this ancient capital with a thousand-year history is about to officially usher in its own relocation journey.
