Shencheng in late winter and early spring is still shrouded in ice and snow. The unique urban culture makes this big city of millions not have a magic circle like Qingyun City that is like spring. When people walk out of the door, the cold wind is still coming towards them. In the pharmaceutical hall, the best-selling medicine is still cold and fever medicine.

However, in the cold wind, Chen Jinghai, the deputy lord of Shencheng, felt a little restless. Although he was silent on the surface, he sat at his desk, and a brush in his hand was turned around by him, like a dragon flying between his fingers. The ink filled with pen tips flew everywhere, and then was firmly bound by invisible gravity.

The practice of juggling with the cultivation of the immortal family is rare for the deputy city lord who has always shown himself in a calm image. The two office secretaries outside the door caught a glimpse of it with their own light, and felt incredible, and then quietly communicated in sign language.

"What's wrong with the Deputy City Lord?"

"I seem to be very irritable, and the fluctuations in the spiritual sense are almost revealed... It's really rare, what's wrong?"

"Speaking of this, I have seen similar behaviors in Lord Shen Ziqiong."

"Oh? What happened at that time?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Lord Shen Ziyu was about to return from a long journey. This is how Lord Shen Ziqiong was waiting."

"...You mean, is the deputy city lord in love?"

"I didn't say that, it was you who thought so!"

"Then why do you give the examples of those two adults!?"

The two secretaries danced forehand and couldn't get along with each other, and a cold snorted from the house.

"If you have nothing to do, go and clean everything inside and outside Shencheng."

The two secretaries immediately turned pale, remembering that the deputy city lord had the ability to cultivate and have the ability to perceive the whole domain. The two of them communicated with sign language so unscrupulously, and there was no difference between talking in other people's ears.

Fortunately, Shen Jinghai didn't plan to discuss these gossips with his subordinates. After putting down his brush, he asked, "There hasn't been a reply from the Divine Sword Tower?"

Secretary A replied: "The letter of feedback has been accepted one hour ago, but no reply has been received after that."

Chen Jinghai asked, "The contact information should be stated in the letter?"

Secretary B nodded and said, "The registration method for the Dafeng competition is very clear. In fact, they don't need to fill in the specific content. Just sign the registration form."

Chen Jinghai said: "So, why haven't they received their registration yet? For the Li family, they have not made any progress in Shencheng for more than a month. Now there is finally a breakthrough. Is there any reason not to take action? Do we have to wait until we change our minds?"

When the leader asked such a question, of course it was not a test of his subordinate's imagination when he was idle. The two secretary looked at each other, and the younger one stood up and replied, "I'll go and check the situation now."

Soon, the young work secretary ran back with a strange expression.

"Kid Qi Bing, the matter is a bit strange. Chen Qingming and others... are packing their luggage and preparing to check out."

The older secretary A said, "What's so strange about this? Since I have participated in the outer courtyard competition, I will have to live in the outer courtyard these days. No matter how good the guest rooms in the Divine Sword Building are, how can the cultivation environment be compared with the Shen Family's outer courtyard? This kind of outer courtyard competition should adjust the physical and mental state a few days in advance to ensure that everything is foolproof."

Secretary B's expression was even more strange: "With that being said, when they checked out at the front desk of the Divine Sword Tower, Miss Qingming was contacting Feishu, who went directly to Qingyun City."

"Qingyun Feishu?" Secretary Jia said strangely, "Is he going to send a souvenir to his family?"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by his boss Chen Jinghai.

"If you don't use your brain, it's best to shut your mouth."

Secretary B said: "Sir, from the perspective of subordinates, they probably... do not want to participate in this competition and are preparing to go home directly."

Secretary A said in surprise: "It's impossible! They came from Qingyun City from all over the world, just to attend the city lord's birthday party and to keep good friends with the relationship between the two families. Now they finally got a large number of city lords. They were leaving with the opportunity to attend the banquet? You can't have read it wrong, right?"

Secretary B quickly defended: "There is no mistake. When my subordinates listened to their chat in the lobby, they were indeed saying that they would return to Qingyun City as soon as possible. If Li Wanqing's bed companion had not been able to get up last night and could not check out, they might have left Shencheng now."

After a pause, he said, "The so-called bed companion is..."

"Enough, don't explain it so carefully." Chen Jinghai waved his hand, and then his face became serious. "It seems that they are afraid that they have lost trust in us."

Secretary A couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The Li family is really a villain. He thinks everyone is as sinister and shameless as their Li family. We kindly give them the opportunity to participate in the competition, but they suspect that we have bad intentions. Since that's the case, let them go back. Is there a few of them in the city lord's birthday party..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, he was thrown out of the office by a wave of invisible force.

"I said, if you don't speak, just shut your mouth." Chen Jinghai shook his wrist and said to Secretary B, "They have had the ups and downs of the previous month, so it is normal for them to have doubts about this matter, but the city lord has ordered them to participate in the competition, so..."

Although Secretary B is young, his mind is much more enlightened than the senior who flew out of the door. He immediately realized: "I will do it now!"

Chen Jinghai nodded: "Go."

At the same time, the Lobby of the Divine Sword Tower.

Chen Qingming had already drunk more than a dozen cups of free tea on the bench, and he was so anxious that he was dizzy...

Wang Jiu kindly reminded next to him: "Study shows that for humans, excessive drinking of water may cause the risk of brain water."

Chen Qingming waved his hand: "Anyway, I'm stupid in your eyes... But Li Wanqing is too much, right? She has been waiting for an hour! She won't be making another shot while it's hot, right!"

Before he finished speaking, a laugh came from a distance.

"Sister Qingming misunderstood me now." As he spoke, Li Wanqing walked over, and behind him, Shen Ying's face turned slightly red, and her steps seemed a little weak and weak.

Li Wanqing sat next to Chen Qingming, then directly picked up the teacup left on the tea table, drank half a cup of tea, and smiled and said, "If you know me, you should know that those who spend the night with me will definitely not have the strength to send another shot the next day."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ying punched him on his shoulder.

Shen Ying explained: "Don't get me wrong. We were just practicing divine thought techniques last night. Because we met our opponents, we accidentally played too much... I just didn't expect that Wanqing's recovery ability was so good, and I was still a little dizzy now."

Li Wanqing said, "I'm dizzy too, but when I see the beautiful girl, I naturally feel energetic."

Chen Qingming glanced at the teacup that Li Wanqing had used in disgust and said, "Okay, since you have finished packing, let's go."

"Okay."

As he said that, the group each stood up and prepared to check out and leave.

However, at this moment, outside the Divine Sword Tower, a young man with a slightly nervous expression walked in with a serious look on his face.

"May I ask, is it Chen Qingming?"

The girl raised her head: "What?"

"Hello, I am a staff member of the Shencheng City Lord's Mansion. This is my certificate." As he said that, the young man took the initiative to display his waist sign, "Is it convenient for you now? I want to discuss some things with you..."

Hearing the words "Shencheng City Lord's Mansion", Chen Qingming turned cold and hummed, "It's inconvenient, there's no time. We are rushing to go home for dinner, and the shuttle will arrive soon."

The young man was anxious: "Please listen to me finish."

As he said that, the young man simply took his own initiative and spread a talisman seal to create a small space that isolates the fluctuations of sound, light and true energy.

However, before the space was formed, a crisp sound was heard, connecting the talisman seal in the young man's hand, and the entire space collapsed and shattered.

Wang Jiu gently put away the white sword next to him and looked at the young man seriously.

The young man did not care about the backlash suffered by the connection between the spiritual consciousness and the talisman seal. He endured the pain like a needle in his mind and raised his hand: "Don't get me wrong about it. I have no malicious intentions, but some words are inconvenient to say here..."

Chen Qingming snorted: "You can stop talking."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was indeed firm, the young man had no choice but to unfold the waist card again and then shouted: "The city lord's office, the idle people are waiting to retreat!"

The effect of this waist card is extraordinary. Although the young man only holds a lower-level one in the city lord's mansion, after displaying the waist card, the entire Divine Sword Tower lobby was completely gone in less than a few breaths.

Seeing this, Chen Qingming became even more angry.

"What, are you showing off your authority?"

"I dare not, but some things are indeed inconvenient for outsiders to know." The young man said, "I hope you can understand the previous invitation letter. We really invite you to participate in the Outer Court Competition with great sincerity."

Chen Qingming said, "How much sincerity is to play monkeys, what are the benefits for monkeys?"

Wang Jiu commented next to him: "I still think you drank too much water before, so why do you just like yourself to a monkey?"

"Don't interrupt! I'm happy to drink!" Chen Qingming roared, turned around and said to the secretary, "Our patience has been used up in the past month. If you really have sincerity, then..."

The next moment, the girl couldn't speak.

Because right in front of her, there was a golden spirit stone check issued by the Shen family.

The amount is ten thousand.
