Bai Xifeng had a cold face and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Wang Suyan is young and full of energy, so she naturally behaves this way. After a few years, she will understand the goodness of Master Bai."
"After a few years?" Bai Xifeng frowned, "After a few years, this young master will not be interested in her anymore."
Bai Xifeng likes women, and many women in the city want to marry into his family because of his status and position.
But he was already tired of this kind of woman.
But Wang Suyan is different. This woman is high and mighty, and she is also a cultivator of the Huashen Sect. If she can take down the other person and make him lie under her, the sense of accomplishment and desire to conquer will be unmatched by others.
However, the ancestor strictly ordered him to take action against the other party, because as long as she holds the position of captain of the patrol team, she will be a member of the Huashen Sect.
If the ancestor does not take action, even ten of him would not be a match for the opponent.
As the few of them chatted, the representative of the independent cultivators, Chen Wei, frowned and said, "How should we deal with the new city lord? What does Patriarch Bai say?"
"My ancestor said, leave him alone. If he behaves himself, we will provide him with good food and drink."
Bai Xifeng sneered: "But if he wants to do something unnecessary, don't blame us for being rude."
"Haha, what Old Ancestor Bai said is absolutely true."
"As long as Old Ancestor Bai is here, this city will be safe and secure, and nothing can happen."
"It is a blessing for Faceless City to have Old Ancestor Bai here."
The rest of the people flattered him.
In their eyes, the eldest son of the Bai family is not worth mentioning and is far inferior to Wang Suyan.
But the ancestor of the Bai family was still there, so the few of them tried to coax each other a little.
They are just some flattering words. After being in the underworld for so many years, there is nothing you can't do about it.
"Come on, let the girls come up. Mr. Bai must have worked hard after the long journey."
All of a sudden, a group of beautiful girls gathered around, looking very happy.
…………
"Is this the Faceless City?"
Tang Ansheng, dressed in a black Taoist robe, looked at the city in front of him that exuded an ancient atmosphere, with satisfaction in his eyes.
"It's like a pool of stagnant water. The people here must be in dire straits and urgently need my help!"
Tang Ansheng strode forward and was stopped by someone when he reached the city gate.
It turned out that he was asked to pay the city entrance fee.
Tang Ansheng had no intention of arguing with the other party. His mind had already drifted to the city and to the innocent people who urgently needed his rescue.
"I am the new lord of Faceless City." Tang Ansheng said as he took out the token.
The guards were horrified. They had been notified long ago and thought that the new city lord, if not coming in a sedan chair, would at least have an entourage of guards.
Why did you come alone?
This made them all think that he was a casual cultivator from outside the area.
The guard checked the token, put it back respectfully, and then said:
"Please wait a moment, sir. Our captain will be here soon."
Chapter 33 Where is my money?
There was no need to look down on others. The guard knew what was happening. After checking Tang Ansheng's city lord token, he immediately notified Wang Suyan, the captain of the Wumian City patrol team.
After a while, a blue figure appeared not far away and rushed towards the city gate.
Tang Ansheng looked over and found that the person was wearing a blue robe with a black ribbon tied around his waist. His hair was tied up in a high bun and the end of his ponytail reached his waist and hips.
She looks like a very capable woman.
"Are you... the... Lord... of Xia City?" Wang Suyan, the captain of the patrol team of Faceless City, arrived shortly after receiving the news.
She had been notified in advance that the city lord would be arriving today, so she had been waiting there.
But this person was a little unexpected to her.
Because from her perspective, Tang Ansheng is only in the Qi training stage. Can a Qi training stage also come to Wumian City to be the city lord?
Aren’t they usually in the foundation-building stage?
Tang Ansheng looked over and asked, "Do you know me?"
"..."
You dare to call yourself "this master" when you are in the Qi training stage?
Wang Suyan was choked by the words "this seat", but fortunately she was a foundation-building cultivator, so she reacted quickly and said, "There is an image of the city lord on the sect's communication stone, so of course I have seen it."
After saying this, she continued, "I wonder if the city lord has brought the token. The rules cannot be abolished. I hope the city lord understands."
"Ah."
Tang Ansheng handed the token over casually, and Wang Suyan took it and examined it.
In fact, ordinary guards cannot tell whether this thing is real or fake because they have never seen it before.
The reason for checking is just to follow the rules, so that it is convenient to notify the superior and there will be an explanation if there is any problem.
As the captain of the patrol team, Wang Suyan had naturally seen the token and had her own way of distinguishing it.
Of course, if this token is lost, it does not mean that anyone who picks it up can become the city lord. This time, it was an emergency notice from the Huashen Sect, and there was also an image from the communication stone. By combining these, the candidate can be quickly determined.
After Wang Suyan checked the token, she bowed and said, "Well, I'm meeting City Lord Xia."
The guard beside him saw that the person was real and shouted, "Greetings, Lord City Lord."
"Yeah, not bad." Tang Ansheng nodded.
Wang Suyan moved aside and gestured, "The city lord has been traveling a long way, the banquet is ready..."
"No need, let's go to the office first." Tang Ansheng said.
"Work?" Wang Suyan was a little confused for a moment.
"Isn't there a place to handle official business?"
"Yes, of course there is." Wang Suyan nodded in response.
Tang Ansheng smiled and said, "That couldn't be better."
The people in this city are in dire straits. How can he, as the city lord and the most powerful official, think about himself first?
How can we eat right away?
That won't work!
Absolutely not.
He was walking in front, and Wang Suyan was leading the way, about half a body length faster than him.
It must be said that Tang Ansheng had a good initial impression of her. Just from the fact that he had taken office, after the other party confirmed his identity, she treated him as the city lord and did not rely on her deep-rooted power here to make things difficult for him.
Of course, it is also possible that it has not yet been expressed.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as Master Ansheng is here, all problems are not problems.
Wang Suyan, who was leading the way, was thinking in her heart: "The new city lord seems to be an upright person."
She knew clearly that her figure and appearance were extremely attractive to some people, and even those with strong wills could not help but take a second look.
There is nothing else to it, it’s just great.
But the new city lord looked at her no differently than he looked at the guard next to him. This look without desire made Wang Suyan feel comfortable.
Moreover, the new city lord did not choose to attend the banquet first, but chose to handle official business. It can be seen at first glance that he is a person who cares about the people.
Thinking of this, Wang Suyan frowned a little, thinking to herself: "The previous city lord was such a person, but unfortunately he became obsessed and mentally confused within a few months."
She secretly clenched her fists and said, "Last time, I was not the captain of the patrol team. This time, no matter what, I cannot let anything happen to the city lord."
When something happened to the city lord, the first person to suffer was her, the captain of the patrol team.
Wang Suyan led the way while thinking, and Tang Ansheng followed silently.
The information given by the clan leader only contained a few short sentences describing the Faceless City, saying that this place was crowded with people and that it was best to be careful.
But Tang Ansheng hardly saw anyone along the way following Wang Suyan.
"By the way, what's your name?" Tang Ansheng asked.
"City Lord, my name is Wang Suyan, and I'm the captain of the patrol team of Faceless City. We will be colleagues in the future." Wang Suyan answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Although the city lord is nominally in charge of the entire city and should have the highest status, the patrol team under the charge of Wang Suyan is considered a military department, so naturally she does not need to be servile.
What's more, she is a foundation-building cultivator, while the city lord is only in the Qi training stage. If the other party was not her immediate superior, according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, the other party would have to call her senior.
"Before I came here, I heard that the population of Faceless City was prosperous. Why do I only see a few people on the road now?" Tang Ansheng asked his question.
Wang Suyan paused, not expecting the other party to ask such a question, so she explained: "City Lord, first of all, the place we are going to is quite remote."
"The previous city lord didn't like noise, so he built the city lord's mansion in a remote place."
Sometimes Wang Suyan also thought that perhaps this happened because the previous city lord built the City Lord’s Mansion in a remote location, which resulted in her master not having time to rescue and care for her.
If she has the chance this time, she will definitely make a suggestion and hope to build the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city.
"What's the second thing?" Tang Ansheng asked.
As we all know, the key to the problem lies behind the "but", and the same is true for the "secondly".
"Secondly..." Wang Suyan paused and said, "The annual gathering in the Lawless Land is about to begin. This period of time is extremely chaotic, so many people are reluctant to go out."
Speaking of the lawless place, even the strong woman like Wang Suyan had a hint of gloom on her face.
The reason why Faceless City is in chaos is all because of this lawless land, or rather, all the surrounding cities are affected by this lawless land.
The lawless land is a cancer to the people living nearby, but even the golden elixir is unable to eliminate this cancer.
Only the sect can send out a Yuanying Zhenjun to sweep across the area with boundless power.
But how could Yuanying Zhenjun look down on such a place?
"assembly?"
"Well, the Lawless Land is held once a year. Various magic weapons and formations suitable for cultivators, as well as rare treasures and exotic beasts will appear. It is considered a major event for us practitioners." Wang Suyan said.
Magical weapons and formations? Rare and exotic animals?
Tang Ansheng suddenly had some ideas in his mind, but there was no rush. Now the priority was to deal with the Faceless City.
Both of them were practitioners and walked very fast. After a while, Tang Ansheng saw an ancient courtyard appear in front of him.
The plaque above the gate was engraved with the words "City Lord's Mansion", and two guards stood in front of the gate.
The two guards were both cultivators, but their realm was very low, and they looked to be only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training.
They were all listless and stood in a sloppy manner. When they saw Wang Suyan coming, the two guards immediately woke up, stood straight, and said:
"Meet Captain Wang."
"Hmph." Wang Suyan snorted coldly. Even though she didn't use any spiritual energy, her identity as a foundation-building cultivator and the dignity of being in a high position still made the two guards sweat profusely.
"This is the new City Lord Xia, why don't you go and prepare."
"Ah, Lord City Lord?"
The two guards looked at Tang Ansheng in shock. They had thought that after the previous city lord left, it would take a long time for the new city lord to come, but they didn't expect him to arrive so soon.
"Greetings, Lord Mayor. Please come in," said the guard.
Of the two guards, one stayed behind with an apologetic smile, while the other quickly ran into the courtyard and greeted others.
After a while, several people came out. Tang Ansheng counted them and found that there were seven people in total including the guards.
"Greetings, Captain Wang, and greetings, the City Lord." The seven people's voices sounded weakly, and they were not even in unison.
