Chapter 82 Courage to face all challenges
May 6, 2018
"So, you agreed to this condition and put yourself as a bargaining chip on the gambling table between them?"
Lu Xin couldn't help feeling distressed when he looked at his stubborn daughter.
"Why are you doing this?"
Chen Qingming said, "I was a little unhappy at first, but I didn't feel sad when I thought about it. What else can I not be satisfied with being able to stand on the gambling table of the God Sword of Heaven and the Lord of Jinyu? Although I was treated as a bargaining chip, Ajiu never regarded himself as a human being. Perhaps he was not treated as a human being, but rather he was over-looking."
Lu Xin said: "You are the daughter of the Li family. You are definitely not a trivial little guy. You are qualified to be comparable to anyone."
Chen Qingming immediately showed a very uncomfortable expression after hearing this. She looked at Lu Xin: "Do you believe this... do you believe it yourself?"
Lu Xin said seriously: "Of course, I have always believed in your potential."
"Then you kicked me out of the inner door and sent me to Shenyuan!"
"When, after all, it was just..." Lu Xin blushed, "That's for your own good! It's because of my deep belief in your potential that I think you can rebound strongly under heavy pressure! And if you didn't go to Chenyuan, would you know Mr. Wang Jiu!"
"Is that your credit? And the IQ that guy Wang Jiu tested for me was 3.3!"
"You are still young, your body is still developing, and your intelligence index will also increase!"
Chen Qingming's expression was even more sad: "To be honest, it feels sadder to be comforted by someone with such obvious lies than being insulted."
Lu Xin was stunned when he heard this: "You are the same?"
At this moment, the daughter of the Qingyun Lu family couldn't help but think of her girlish generation.
At that time, because of her limited qualifications for cultivation, her progress had not reached the standard value of the Lu family, and her mental state was very depressed. Especially when everyone around her was encouraging her with lies that she didn't believe in mental retardation, the depression became even worse.
for example……
"Xin'er, you are not poor in qualifications, but your cultivation qualification is late, and you are just slow to make efforts in the early stage!"
"How late will it take for a big shot?"
"In ten years, you will be able to become the realm of the Wind Clouds!"
"I'm almost 30 years old in ten years! What's the difference between a 30-year-old Fengyun Realm and a disabled person!"
"Don't look down on the 30-year-old Fengyun Realm! Do you know the average age of the broken mirror of the monks in Xiangzhou's Fengyun Realm?"
"As compared with the average value of my Lu family and Xiangzhou, you look down on me! And what is the average value of Xiangzhou, do you say?"
“3…No, 75 years old!”
"Nonsense! I just read the Xiangzhou Immortal Cultivation Guide published by the Holy Sect, and the average value is only 36 years old! This still includes the data of many casual cultivators who have no guidance from famous teachers and lack of medical treatment!"
"That kind of guide was published by the Holy Sect to whitewash the peace. Can you believe the official data? The data of the Holy Sect is the most unreliable. Those who ruled Xiangzhou for two thousand years, can't they do anything?"
"You even want to blackmail the Holy Sect to comfort me?!"
"In short, you are just late to achieve great things. The more you have the qualifications, the faster you practice, the faster you practice. As long as you become patient, you will definitely become a great immortal cultivator who is worthy of the Lu family."
"…Do you think I'll believe this kind of nonsense?"
“Sometimes, believing in lies can make your life easier.”
Thinking of his girlhood, Lu Xin couldn't help but feel at ease, and then looked at Chen Qingming with a stubborn look, and it was really hard to persuade him.
"Since you have chosen your own path, let's move on."
"Hmph, of course." Chen Qingming snorted and said softly, "When I think of your story, I have no reason to give up halfway."
"What?"
"It's nothing! And when will you go back to Qingyun City? The complaint letters that Li Jinglun urged you to go back have piled up here!"
"That guy doesn't work honestly, but he dares to write a complaint letter to you?" Lu Xin was furious. "It seems that he is not brave enough on his shoulders. Since that's the case, he will also write the speech of Fengyun's executive meeting next week!"
On the other hand, in the Lord of Jinyu City’s Mansion, Zhao Chenlu finally completely cleared the finishing work in Jinyu City.
The woman handed over thirty richly recorded talisman seals and a jade seal to Zhao Jincheng, who looked trembling with fear.
As the new city lord who took office in a hurry, Zhao Jincheng still feels like a dream and unbelievable about the changes in the situation.
Zhao Jincheng never expected to be able to take the throne of the city lord. Although during the reign of Zhao Chenlu, everyone called him the eldest son and regarded him as the successor, objectively speaking, with Zhao Chenlu's undisputed nature, as long as she is still alive, it is impossible for her to hand over power to others. Of course, Zhao Jincheng could not live longer than Zhao Chenlu. He and Zhao Chenlu were just siblings, not mother-daughter relationships, and the age difference was less than ten years old. Judging from the qualifications of both parties to cultivate immortals. Zhao Chenlu is the top leader in Xiangzhou. In another ten or twenty years, he is likely to surpass the leader of the Holy Sect and become the first person outside the Holy Sect that has never been seen before. Not to mention 500 years, he should have more than 400 years. However, Zhao Jincheng reached the peak of Paishan Realm at most, and it is unlikely that he would cross the threshold of the Overlord Realm. His life span is difficult to exceed 250 years. With this life span gap, Zhao Chenlu is ultimately "a white-haired man who gives away a black-haired man". It is impossible for Zhao Jincheng to inherit his mantle.
But now, the throne of the city lord has waved to him.
Zhao Chenlu didn't care about Zhao Jincheng's changes in his heart at all, and said with a smile.
"Okay, Jincheng, and this city will be handed over to you from now on."
Zhao Jincheng felt that the jade seal in his hand was as heavy as a mountain, and asked, "What is this?"
"The city lord seal passed down from generation to generation by the Zhao family." Zhao Chenlu said, "The documents issued by the city lord need to be stamped."
"But, I've never seen you use it."
Zhao Chenlu said: "Because I have never used it and it is too ugly, I always use private seals designed by myself. Sometimes I think it's troublesome or forget to carry it with me, so I just don't cover it."
"This is OK too!?"
Zhao Chenluqi said: "Why not?"
"Okay, that's right, after all, it's sister, you..." Thinking of the great achievements Zhao Chenlu has made over the years, it's really not worth mentioning to replace the seal.
"What are these talisman seals?" Zhao Jincheng asked again.
"The documents sent by the Holy Sect to ask for study in recent years."
"...what!?" Zhao Jincheng was shocked and quickly opened the talisman seal. He saw that the letters sent by the Holy Sect were piled up like a mountain, which was dazzling.
"Why are there so many!?"
Zhao Chenlu shrugged: "Those people who are idle like to be content with their own affairs, what can I make a fuss about?"
"But..." Zhao Jincheng opened several letters and looked carefully, and his eyes suddenly became dark.
"Zhao Chengzhu, the self-examination report on your illegal picking of rare medicinal materials in nature reserves has been postponed for one week. Please submit it as soon as possible."
"Zhao Chengzhu, the self-examination report has been postponed for one month, please submit it as soon as possible!"
"Zhao Chengzhu, the self-examination report has been asked to draft for you, please sign it"
"Zhao Chengzhu, the calligraphy has been signed for you, so please do not repeat it next time."
"Zhao Chengzhu, the self-examination report on your illegal picking of rare medicinal materials has been postponed for one month, please submit it as soon as possible"
"Zhao City Lord Zhao, according to the Immortal Cultivator Convention signed by the Holy Sect and the Seventh Family of the Three Academys, the Great Immortal Cultivator of Ren City Lord should regularly cooperate with the Holy Sect's plan and lead the team to explore the ruins of the prehistoric lands. The date of the Jinyu City Exploration Team is initially scheduled for next month, please arrive on time"
"Lord Zhao, because of your late arrival, the exploration team has been stranded in Tiancheng for a week, please arrive as soon as possible!"
"Zhao Chengzhu, the sick leave note has been drafted for you, please sign it as soon as possible!"
"Zhao City Lord Zhao, according to regulations, the exploration team absent from work once, and it needs to be made up within 3 years. Please give action time as soon as possible..."
Looking at the mountain of official letters, Zhao Jincheng only felt as if he had seen the blood and tears of the docking people from the Holy Sect.
Seeing that Zhao Jincheng had a strange expression, Zhao Chenlu asked, "How is it? Do you think they are looking for trouble and are so annoying?"
"Yes, right..." Zhao Jincheng said, but thought that the bloody debt accumulated by this sister over the past twenty years would probably be repaid twice as soon as she arrived at her post...
But even so, Zhao Jincheng has no regrets.
Because, only by sitting on this throne can he truly be reborn.
From the eldest son who was protected by others with his wings, he transformed into the lord of Jinyu City, and from then on, he talked about friendship with all the heroes in the world.
And the first thing he wants to get along with is the Qingyun Li family!
Of course, the reason is not personal reasons, but for public interest.
As one of the seven major families, the Li family gradually declined a few years ago and was called the last of the seven major families by many people, but in fact this is obviously an underestimation. Not to mention the long-standing heritage of the aristocratic family, it should not be underestimated. The talents and potential displayed by Li Fengyun, Li Wanqing, and Shen Qingming in recent years are destined to usher in a wave of takeoff soon. Now they have the help of Mr. Wang Jiu and have eased their relationship with Shencheng. The future is really unlimited.
Taking advantage of the fact that he has established a good relationship with the Li family in advance, it will be of great benefit to him in charge of Jinyu City in the future. He is far from Zhao Chenlu's means and courage to dominate the world. If he wants to firmly sit in the throne of the city lord, it is not enough to rely solely on himself. He must get external support, and the Li family is an excellent choice.
Therefore, it is natural and reasonable to take advantage of the fact that the Li family’s real talk happened to visit Jinyu City and invite her to the city lord’s mansion to have dinner together as the city lord!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jincheng felt that the jade seal and talisman seal in his hand were no longer heavy, but instead turned into a motivation to inspire himself to keep moving forward.
As Zhao Chenlu's younger brother, the current city lord of Jinyu City, he must not be afraid of difficulties. There is nothing in this world that he cannot do!
