"Uncle Lu, hello. My name is Dong Zhixin. My master is Lian Zheng. My master asked me to come and pick you up. He is waiting for you at the city lord's mansion. Please come with me."
With millet and sweet potatoes in his arms, Lu Li had just stepped into Wanyue City when he saw a group of disciples rushing over, followed by a spirit beast carriage.
The moment the other person saw him, their eyes lit up instantly. They hurriedly walked over and began to bow to Lu Li, with the leader introducing himself.
After the introduction, he respectfully showed him his disciple token, which indicated his identity as a member of the Liuyue Sect.
"Alright, Junior Nephew Dong, let's go."
Seeing this, Lu Li glanced at him briefly, then nodded to indicate that he understood and told the other party to lead the way quickly.
Lian Zheng, the city lord of Wanyue City, knew about this matter and also knew that the other party was a disciple of the fourth master uncle of the inner sect's weapon peak, whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and who had been stationed in the Wanyue City Lord's Mansion for many years.
To be honest, he himself received the task of finding the location of the city lord's mansion from the affairs office.
The disciples of the Liuyue Sect are mostly spirit beasts of various races. They are not particularly enthusiastic about being city lords and managing the city, which has led to a situation where no one is willing to take charge.
However, as one of the four major sects, it has many cities under its control, and it cannot afford not to manage them.
So Liu Yu and the elders thought it over and decided to add city management to the sect's tasks, which would give a particularly high number of contribution points.
Only then were some beasts finally willing to take over the management of the city, and Liu Yu and the elders of each peak no longer had to pull their hair out every day, thinking about how to exile them.
Finally, to prevent these disciples from using the methods of managing spirit beasts in managing the city.
The sect members brainstormed and racked their brains to finally come up with a list of rules and regulations: what should be done, what should not be done, and how to deal with problems.
It took nearly half a month just to engrave it into the jade talisman, which shows how much content there was.
As a result, the effect has been very good. With this jade talisman, the disciples who took over the city have not yet caused any major incidents.
However, minor issues are inevitable. Almost every day, all sorts of strange questions are sent to the communication jade tablet of the Affairs Hall, which is why Liu Ying is always very busy.
She's busy cleaning up after her disciples and solving their problems. Of course, minor issues are still the responsibility of the disciples in the Affairs Hall, and only those that they can't handle are brought to Liuying's attention.
Therefore, the jade slip for managing the city has been updated every year, with a lot of content being added to it each year.
It was thanks to the Liuyue Clan's vast resources and its own high-level weapon refiners that they had enough capacity to inscribe jade talismans, allowing them to create as many as they could.
If you switch to another sect, the cost of these jade talismans alone would be enough to make you feel the pinch.
It is precisely because of the unique nature of the Liuyue Sect that they need these jade slips; otherwise, look at the other sects, which one of them is like this?
In fact, one of the reasons why Lian Zhenghui was willing to take on the task of becoming the city lord of Wanyue City was because of this jade slip.
Lian Zheng, as the disciple of the Fourth Martial Uncle, is actually a spirit beast called the Yan An Weasel.
This mythical creature looks similar to a groundhog, but its personality is different from that of a screaming groundhog. It is extremely introverted and, very much so, a super homebody.
If conditions permit, the Dark Flame Weasel can even stay in one place for its entire life, squatting where it hatched, from birth to death.
Lian Zheng is a purebred Dark Flame Weasel, so naturally he fully inherits the personality of this lineage.
If it weren't for Fourth Uncle's encounter, this guy would have almost starved to death in his own den. The reason was very simple: he didn't want to go out and was too lazy to leave the house. It was ridiculous.
According to his fourth uncle, he initially thought the creature was unwilling to go out because the food was too far away, and he even asked it what kind of food it ate.
And guess what? His food actually grew right next to his nest!
The place where Fourth Uncle found Lian Zheng was less than a hundred meters away from the spirit fruit tree. This distance was so close that Fourth Uncle almost doubted Xiong Sheng.
Later, Fourth Uncle was really worried that it might starve to death, so he brought it back to Liuyue Sect to see if it could pass the sect's test.
If possible, he would take it as a disciple; if not, he would find it a place to go or find a caretaker or something. In any case, he would need to find someone or a beast to look after it.
Fortunately, the final result was quite satisfactory; it successfully passed the test and became a disciple of the Fourth Martial Uncle.
Although it was called a disciple in name only, its fourth master uncle's teachings were no less than those of his.
Lian Zheng, in his cave dwelling on the Flowing Moon Sect's Weapon Peak, went from a novice who didn't know how to cultivate to breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
During this period, it not only did not step out of the Liuyue Sect, but it also did not even leave the mountain of Qifeng.
Of course, it has accumulated a great deal of mission points that it owes to the sect.
If it weren't for the Fourth Uncle finally taking it too far and threatening to kick it out if it didn't do the sect's tasks, this guy would have reluctantly gone to the Affairs Hall.
It is said that the day it went to the office caused a great sensation, as everyone went to watch the show after hearing that it had gone out.
Even some who originally planned to go into seclusion came out after hearing the news and became onlookers, causing quite a stir. This story is still circulating within the Liuyue Sect to this day.
The main reason it chose to become the city lord of Wanyue City is not only because it has access to jade slips, but also because Wanyue City is close to the sect and offers extremely high contribution points.
Lian Zheng planned to complete all the sect's missions for the next few hundred years in one go, so he wouldn't have to endure his master's nagging.
Then, after arriving at the City Lord's Mansion in Wanyue City, it became unwilling to move again. It stayed there from the time it had just broken through to the Golden Core stage until it reached the current mid-Golden Core stage.
In this Rainy Continent, when it comes to the ability to stay at home, no one dares to claim to be number one, even if they are officially second.
If it weren't for the fact that although it's a homebody, it has managed Wanyue City quite well over the years, Fourth Uncle would have already attacked it.
As Lu Li followed Dong Zhixin toward the City Lord's Mansion, he explained Lian Zheng's glorious deeds to Shushu.
The reason is quite simple: Shushu didn't know Lian Zheng before, and when she heard Dong Zhixin mention the name, she casually asked about it.
After hearing this, Shushu could only sigh in his heart, "Indeed, when the forest is big, all kinds of birds can be found, and when there are many mythical beasts, all kinds of strange creatures can be found."
To be honest, after learning about this senior brother Lian's bizarre life, she is now very much looking forward to meeting this legendary senior brother, even more so than she is curious about Sect Master Wen of the Heavenly Flame Sect.
