Yun Zhan nodded repeatedly.
All eyes were on Yun Zhan, filled with envy.
Of course, there are others as well.
For example, the Bai brothers were full of vigilance.
Yun Zhan cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "In the future, I will strive to become an outstanding alchemist and do my best for the Star Moon Sect."
His alchemy skills, while not the best, were certainly better than the worst.
Apart from Miss Bai and the spirit pets in her little courtyard, all the alchemists in the entire five continents combined are no match for him.
He still has that much confidence.
Bai Wenyuan stroked his beard and smiled, "Young Master Yun is exceptionally talented. I believe that given time, he will surely shine."
Yun Yue smiled broadly, his eyes disappearing as he said, "Sect Leader Bai, you flatter me."
It still has to be the sons of the Yun family.
After lunch, everyone except Yun Zhan went to do their work.
Especially Zheng Wuhui.
He felt he bore the heaviest responsibility.
First, a site must be selected for Tianyuan Academy, then the academy's structure must be designed, and finally, high-quality materials must be collected for construction.
These are the very foundation upon which Miss Bai founded the academy.
There is no room for carelessness.
In his eyes, everyone else was merely an assistant.
But this first step proved difficult for him.
Tianyuan City is neither particularly large nor small; it has bustling areas as well as more ordinary places.
The question of where to build it presented a dilemma for Zheng Wuhui.
He practically tore apart a map of Tianyuan City, but still couldn't choose a location.
He was so worried that he kept pulling his hair out.
Finally, Zheng Wanning came up with an idea: "Father, I think the location of our City Lord's Mansion is excellent."
Zheng Wu Hui's eyes immediately lit up.
yes.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the very center of Tianyuan City, and the surrounding environment is also the best.
"Wanning, you're amazing!" Zheng Wuhui patted Zheng Wanning's shoulder excitedly, his eyes practically disappearing with laughter.
"It's a daughter's blessing to be able to share her father's burdens," Zheng Wanning said, tilting her shoulder.
Although she has a drop of Tiger Girl's Origin Crystal in her body, how much more can she absorb? And her cultivation level is several levels lower than Zheng Wu Hui's.
In his excitement, Zheng Wu Hui hadn't been able to control his strength.
Zheng Wanning felt like his shoulder was about to fall off.
"Having a daughter like you is my greatest blessing." Zheng Wu Hui rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Wan Ning, now take people to pack up everything in the inner quarters."
“Yes, Father.” Zheng Wanning nodded. “I’ll go now.”
Then he turned and left.
Zheng Wu Hui took a deep breath, then solemnly transmitted his voice using his spiritual power: "Qin Qi, listen to my command!"
Qin Qi was leading a group to inspect the city lord's mansion when he received the message and immediately dispatched people to rush over.
Although we made a blunder last time, we still dare not be careless.
When Qin Qi arrived, he saw Zheng Wu Hui sitting at his desk, writing and drawing.
He immediately frowned.
Family members know their own affairs best.
No one knows Zheng Wu Hui's character better than him.
Their city lord was the kind of person who got a headache just looking at paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones.
In normal times, when issuing imperial edicts, if he could write one character, he would never write two.
And they are all crooked and twisted.
It's barely recognizable.
Is this some kind of evil spirit possessing him? He's actually writing and drawing so earnestly at his desk.
Thinking of this, Qin Qi drew his longsword and slashed straight at Zheng Wu Hui.
He thought it through very thoroughly.
If the city lord is not possessed by evil spirits, with his current cultivation level, my sword light cannot harm him in the slightest.
If the city lord is truly possessed by evil spirits, this strike will surely expose his true form, leading to a fierce battle. At that time, I will summon the Twelve Golden Generals to form an array to meet the enemy.
"Qin Qi, have you gone mad?" Zheng Wu Hui raised his hand and dispersed the blade's light, his booming voice resounding throughout the entire city lord's mansion.
"What are the names of the four people who were sent up the mountain today?" Qin Qi asked, his eyes gleaming, ready for anything.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wu Hui knew that Qin Qi was overthinking things again, and he angrily glared at him, saying, "Qin Qi, this is the second time."
"Please answer quickly, City Lord," Qin Qi gripped his long sword and shouted sharply.
"Zheng Siwen, Qian Jia, Jin Hao, Zheng Han." Zheng Wu Hui had no choice but to recite them one by one.
Qin Qi then sheathed his long sword and knelt on one knee: "This humble general has offended you, please forgive me, City Lord."
"Tell me, why do you suspect me?" Zheng Wu Hui asked.
“Because…” Qin Qi pursed his lips, then scratched his head and said, “Because… can the city lord guarantee that he won’t be angry after hearing this?”
"You're still trying to negotiate with me?" Zheng Wuhui glared at Qin Qi and said, "Stop beating around the bush and just say it."
"Because the city lord never reads or writes, I suspect that an evil spirit has possessed him and wants to harm him," Qin Qi said quickly with his eyes closed.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wu Hui nearly vomited blood from anger.
I silently repeated to myself many times, "This is the general I chose, this is the general I chose."
Then he swallowed the blood back down.
"Qin Qi, don't be so reckless in the future," Zheng Wu Hui said weakly.
"The city lord is right, this subordinate obeys." Qin Qi straightened up and replied in a loud voice.
"Right now, immediately, take some men and put all the items in the front yard into the storage artifacts," Zheng Wu Hui ordered, taking a deep breath.
"All the items?" Qin Qi asked, taken aback.
“Yes.” Zheng Wu Hui nodded.
"You..." Qin Qi pursed his lips, paused for a long while, and then asked, "You're no longer the city lord?"
“Yes.” Zheng Wu Hui was puzzled by the question.
"So you are..." Qin Qi thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Did you lose a bet with someone?"
Before Zheng Wu Hui could answer, Qin Qi earnestly said, "City Lord, I must advise you, gambling is bad."
"Who told you I gambled?" Zheng Wu Hui suddenly felt that having such a general was really exhausting.
After a long while, Zheng Wu Hui said weakly, "I want to move."
"Moving?" Qin Qi asked, "Where to?"
“To be determined.” Zheng Wu Hui explained simply, “Miss Bai wants to set up an academy and has entrusted me with full responsibility. I think the location of the City Lord’s Mansion is excellent, so I’m making room for it.”
"Understood, Your Majesty." Qin Qi immediately stood up straight and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, I will take men to pack our bags right away."
"Go ahead," Zheng Wu Hui waved his hand. "Hurry up."
"Yes," Qin Qi replied again, and then quickly left.
Zheng Wu Hui then continued to bury himself in writing and drawing.
In no time at all, he had written two full pages of "scribbles".
Aside from himself, probably no one would recognize him.
Zheng Wu Hui looked the two pages of "words" over and over, and was very satisfied with them.
Then he took out a red pen and started drawing on it.
The circled areas are those that the City Lord's Mansion doesn't have.
Hmm, looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Cloud Auction House.
