Chapter 911: Acting on his own (1)
Immortal devil City, City Lord’s mansion.
The cool realm and the middle cloud realm both had city Lords here, and both sides managed the immortal demon city together.
Xia qingchen stood before the city Lord Manor.
There was a sign at the gate of the mansion, which stated that the left side of the mansion was the office in the cool territory, and the right side was the office in the zhongyun territory.
Xia qingchen was about to enter when a group of people in casual clothes walked out from the right side of the residence.
One of the hoarse voices sounded familiar.
Xia qingchen pressed down on his bamboo hat and peeked through the gap. He discovered that it was actually that old secret agent at the little moon realm from the snow Mountain.
The burn marks on his face from the exploding arrows were clearly visible.
“Lord Mao, please rest assured. We will do a good job and will not disappoint you.” Several servants bowed and cupped their fists at the old man.
“En!” The old secret agent put on his bamboo hat and left the city Lord’s mansion.
It was only when he left the door that he noticed a man in a bamboo hat standing outside. He only took a casual glance and didn’t pay much attention to him.
He would never have expected that the young man wearing the bamboo hat before him was none other than Xia qingchen, who had almost killed him.
The casually dressed people watched the moon tier elder leave, and then returned to the manor together. As they walked, they chatted in low voices.
“Elder Hua, are you preparing to return to the capital?” The Royal capital was the capital city of the middle cloud territory, similar to Liangzhou city of the cool territory.
I heard that when elder Hua was pouring tea on the snow Mountain, he suffered a great loss in the cool territory and almost died there. The successor he had painstakingly cultivated died a tragic death on the mountain.
“Did you meet the people of the six fan Palace? With Hua Lao’s experience as a first-class secret agent, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see through him, let alone hurt him.”
I don’t know the details, but I’m sure he’s a powerful character.
..
When Xia qingchen heard this, he entered the city Lord Manor expressionlessly and went to the office on the left.
In several empty living rooms, there were people on duty who were specially in charge of handling all kinds of certificates for the participants.
“Show me your identity token.” Xia qingchen casually walked into a living room. The receptionist had no expression on his face, and his tone was extremely cold.
Xia qingchen took out the WAN Xiaoqi token and placed it on the table.
The latter’s gaze swept over the area, and his expression suddenly changed. He exclaimed in a low voice, ” Xia qingchen? ”
Xia qingchen’s reputation was indeed resounding, but it wasn’t to the extent that it would cause people to lose their composure.
“Is there a problem?” Xia qingchen spoke.
The latter quickly stood up, and his attitude became very polite. the city Lord has instructed that if Lord Xia comes, he will personally handle it for you. Please follow me.
So troublesome?
It was just handling all kinds of documents, and there was no need for the city Lord to personally handle it.
However, since it was the other party’s request, Xia qingchen still agreed and followed the other party to a high-class reception room.
Only extremely distinguished guests could be invited in.
“Lord Xia, please wait a moment. I will immediately inform the city Lord.” The officer said with a smile.
As Xia qingchen waited patiently, he sized up the furnishings in the room. From the vases, the scripts, and the paintings on the wall, the city Lord Manor should be someone from the southern border.
Sure enough, not long after, a hearty voice came from outside the living room, “”Aiya, Lord Xia is finally here!”
A tall middle-aged man in soft armor and drenched in sweat walked in.
It was obvious that he had been practicing martial arts.
Xia qingchen stood up and cupped his fists. “Greetings, city Lord.”
“Sit down and talk.” The city Lord was very enthusiastic. He had a warm smile on his face as he came to the table and sat down. He waved his hand and ordered people to serve tea while sizing Xia qingchen up.
as the ancient saying goes, heroes come from the young. I didn’t believe it at first, but I finally believe it after seeing young master Xia today! “When I was your age, I was just a small cavalry of a hundred people. How could I be as famous as you?” the city Lord said straightforwardly.
Xia qingchen wasn’t moved by the praise. He said humbly, “”City Lord, you flatter me.”
Oh, right. Let me introduce myself. I’m long xingchen from the southern border Army. Long xingchen was a talkative person. your heroic deeds have long spread throughout the southern region. I’ve admired young master Xia for a long time. Now, I’ve finally met him in person.
master Xia, can you explain in detail the situation of the battle at that time and what kind of advanced tactics did your yunlan battle group use to defeat the Army of zhongyun territory? ”
Xia qingchen frowned slightly.
He was a quiet person who didn’t like to cause trouble, and he never liked chatterboxes.
“If city Lord wishes to hear it, I can order someone to send over the summary of that day’s battle for city Lord to have a look.” Xia qingchen spoke. He only wanted to finish the process as soon as possible.
It was as if long xingchen didn’t sense Xia qingchen’s intentions. After changing the topic, they chatted about random things for close to two hours.
In the end, Xia qingchen couldn’t bear it any longer and directly said, “”Please complete the procedures as soon as possible, city Lord. I still have to make preparations for tomorrow’s immortal demon chess game.”
Long xingchen laughed and was about to continue speaking when a guard walked in and whispered something into his ear. Only then did long xingchen hold back his words and say,”Alright, I’ve already ordered people to prepare the items. However, there’s one person that I hope young master Xia can spare some time to meet.”
He didn’t wait for Xia qingchen to agree or not. He clapped his hands, and two people walked into the living room.
One of them was a young girl dressed in simple clothes, shy and bashful, while the other was a graceful and elegant woman.
The woman was already middle-aged, and her face was covered with a thick layer of Rouge. Her cheekbones were wide, and her frontal bone protruded out, giving her a shrewdness and mean appearance.
After she entered, long xingchen smiled, “”Then I won’t disturb you anymore. You guys talk.”
Xia qingchen finally understood that long xingchen was actually stalling for time by rambling on and on, waiting for this woman to arrive.
However, she didn’t know the woman.
you are Xia qingchen? ” The woman sat opposite Xia qingchen and sized him up with a critical gaze. let me introduce myself. I’m Wu Huan’s birth mother, Mrs Liu.
Xia qingchen was astonished when he heard this.
Shouldn’t lady Liu be in Liangzhou, in Wu Xiong’s mansion?
Why did he come all the way here to the immortal devil city?
“What’s the matter?” Xia qingchen was unhappy that long xingchen had acted on his own initiative.
Without his permission, she arranged for him to meet with someone else. Did she even have any respect for his dignity?
On the surface, long xingchen was a straightforward person, but in reality, he was full of schemes. He was a sinister and shrewd person.
The woman surveyed Xia qingchen. you and my Huan ‘er’s team has already ended. she spoke.
Her second sentence was a decisive one.
Xia qingchen didn’t feel surprised. Ever since she had revealed her identity, he had already guessed it.
“Is this Wu Xiong’s intention?” Xia qingchen asked.
It was hard to imagine that without Wu Xiong’s permission, the woman would come all the way here to destroy the team.
“Yes!” The woman feigned Wu Xiong’s meaning and said, ” my husband has thought about it again and again. He feels that he can’t drag Huan ‘er down. So, he sent me to inform you that your team is dismissed.
In reality, she had taken advantage of the fact that Wu Xiong was out on a mission to secretly leave Liangzhou city and rush to the immortal demon chess game.
Xia qingchen didn’t say anything, but he couldn’t quite understand why Wu Xiong had insisted on sending his daughter over to form a team with him back then.
Why did he go back on his word now? (Two more chapters to go, update at 3 p.m.)
