Chapter 23 Naturalization on Liuli Island
Just as Li Fan was thinking, a young man who looked a little fat came over not far from him.
The young man patted Li Fan on the shoulder, and said in a familiar tone: "Brother, you look a little unfamiliar. What position do you hold in Dali? Or which continent are you a wealthy businessman from?"
Li Fan slapped the young man's hand off his shoulder, then stared at him coldly without saying a word.
The fat young man suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and a chill rose on his back.
Although he felt a little embarrassed to be frightened by someone's eyes, the fat young man did have some good eyesight. Li Fan looked ordinary, but the aura of majesty that he exuded was obviously that of a man who had been in a high position for many years.
Not a simple person!
The fat young man came to the conclusion in an instant and then left tactfully.
When the others saw this, they all realized that Li Fan was not very friendly, so no one came to talk to him after that.
As the lights flickered, the voices of the crowd became quieter and quieter, and gradually everyone fell asleep.
No words were spoken that night.
Before dawn the next day, everyone was woken up.
A middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a green robe, walked in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back.
"I will take you to get your household registration later. After getting the household registration, you will officially become a member of Liuli Island." The middle-aged man looked around and said coldly.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone looked excited.
“Remember, don’t say anything you shouldn’t say. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your safety.” The man narrowed his eyes and added.
Everyone knew that what they were doing this time was not something that could be seen in public, so they all nodded.
Afterwards, at the middle-aged man's instruction, Li Fan and the others all changed into tattered clothes.
Then they taught a unified set of words.
"You are all residents of Dayu Island in the west. Because the island was destroyed by a storm, you fled here. If anyone asks, just tell me this."
Everyone agreed.
Afterwards, led by the middle-aged man, and under the surveillance of four or five big men in black, the group left the cave through a secret passage and came to the ground.
After wandering around in the residential area of the city for who knows how long, he finally arrived in front of a mansion.
Li Fan noticed that although their group consisted of dozens of people, most of the residents on the island just glanced at them casually and paid no more attention to them. It was obvious that they were used to it.
They did not enter through the main gate of the mansion. Shortly after the servant at the gate went in to report, he came back and led everyone through a side door on the left and into a lobby.
The lobby was quite spacious. Before Li Fan and others arrived, two or three groups of more than a hundred people had already gathered there.
Even so, it doesn't seem crowded.
The middle-aged man signaled to everyone to wait patiently.
Soon, it was Li Fan and his friends' turn.
"Manager Zhao!" the middle-aged man greeted.
"Are these the disaster victims who are going to register?" Manager Zhao looked to be in his 50s or 60s, a little old. But his eyes were extremely sharp. After scanning the crowd, he said with a smile: "Sun Zhang, these disaster victims are either rich or noble!"
Sun Zhang was not panicked, he just sighed: "Yes. They were all wealthy people on Dayu Island before. Unfortunately, without the blessing of the immortal master, natural disasters came, and all their wealth and glory became a bubble. Now they can only come to our Liuli Island from afar to seek refuge."
After saying that, Sun Zhang took out something from his arms and handed it to Manager Zhao calmly.
Manager Zhao took a glance at it, accepted it, and then sighed: "A few days ago, a storm raged, and even our Liuli Island was affected. The western islands suffered even more severe losses. It is said that more than 200 islands were razed to the ground. I don't know how many mortals died in the sea."
"Fortunately, the Immortal Master has shown mercy and ordered us to help the disaster victims. It's a good thing that you, Tianbao Tower, are so concerned about this! Don't worry, I will report the truth to the island master. When the Immortal Master gives out his rewards, you will definitely get a share."
Sun Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this and continued to compliment him.
Manager Zhao listened while processing the naturalization procedures for everyone.
Not long after, it was Li Fan's turn. Manager Zhao glanced at Li Fan, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
"What's your name?" asked Manager Zhao.
"Li Fan." Li Fan answered truthfully.
"Come, drop a drop of your blood on it." Manager Zhao wrote the word "Li Fan" on a rectangular object that looked like jade but not jade, and like paper but not paper, and then handed it over.
Li Fan bit his finger and blood dripped.
Afterwards, the blood seemed to have spirituality and flowed into the two words "Li Fan".
"Keep this talisman. It will serve as your proof of identity from now on. You need to show this talisman when you receive work, distribute food, deal with inspections, and any other matters on the island. Don't lose it." Unlike other people, Manager Zhao was obviously much more friendly to Li Fan and gave him more instructions.
This attracted the attention of Sun Zhang and others.
I don't know what Manager Zhao saw, Li Fan didn't say much to thank him. After nodding, he put away the talisman and walked to the side.
The distribution of household registration was very efficient, and soon everyone in the group obtained household registration on Liuli Island.
Everyone looked excited.
After leaving this place, he did not return to the previous cave. Instead, he was taken by Sun Zhang to the courtyard of a house.
"Now that we have the household registration, we can sign the deed." Sun Zhang said to Su Changyu who was among the crowd.
Su Changyu carefully took out a piece of thin paper from his arms, then bit his finger and solemnly wrote his name with blood.
As soon as the signature was completed, the thin paper spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into a wisp of green smoke, which floated away to an unknown place.
After the burning, only a small piece of the deed remained.
"The so-called three deeds will lead to the final conclusion. In the future, as long as we are completely settled, I will sign the final contract as agreed." Su Changyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hmph, dealing with you guys outside the boundary is troublesome. If it weren't for... the Immortal Master, we at Tianbao Tower wouldn't do this loss-making business." Sun Zhang snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied.
However, he didn't say anything more after that, but instead explained to everyone what they needed to pay attention to on the island.
"All residents of Liuli Island can obtain a residence by presenting their household registration talisman. Although it is only in a remote area on the northernmost part of the island, it is at least a place to shelter from the wind and rain. In addition, in the first year of citizenship, you can receive a certain amount of food every month for free. Of course, if you are used to delicacies from land and sea and can't get used to this free relief food, you can also go to the island to eat and drink at your own expense."
…
After Sun Zhang said a lot of things, his mouth was dry and he stopped to rest, but suddenly he heard Su Changyu asking.
"I wonder how we can practice cultivation?"
This was exactly what Li Fan was concerned about, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
