The Trial Competition was hosted by Sha Chu and Chu Jun, and with Li Qingyi and Wan Chaochun looking after it, Li Xiu felt relatively relieved.

He was not in the mood to stay here and watch the game, so he returned to Changshengtian with the jade token. He had to find out what the relationship between Space City and the president was before he could go to Space City.

After Li Xiu returned to Changshengtian, he found that the people in Changshengtian looked at him differently today.

Li Xiu did not return to Courtyard No. 7, but went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

"General Li." The guard of the City Lord's Mansion saluted respectfully when he saw Li Xiu.

"Li Xiu wants to see the president. Please help pass the message on." Li Xiu returned the greeting.

"Director Li, the president will not see any guests today." said one of the older guards.

"I wonder when the president will meet guests?" Li Xiu asked.

The guard pondered for a moment, walked closer, and whispered to Li Xiu: "Chief Li, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't say anything more. I also heard what you said at the Trial Contest, and I admire you very much. If you don't mind my talking too much, I will say a few more words."

"Please speak." Li Xiu said quickly.

The old guard whispered, "If you are here to see the president about the Space City, I advise you not to come."

"Why?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

"I have been guarding the gate here for sixty-three years. I have seen many people come to the president about the Space City before, including the president and vice president, and even the heads of various families, but the results were not satisfactory." The old guard's voice was very low, so that only Li Xiu could hear it.

What he said was a little obscure, but Li Xiu was not a fool, so he naturally understood it. He was afraid that the result would not be as simple as being unsatisfactory.

"Thank you." Li Xiu bowed to the old guard, then took out the jade token and handed it to the old guard: "Since the president is not seeing guests, please pass this jade token to the president on my behalf."

Seeing the old guard took the jade token, Li Xiu turned and left.

After Li Xiu left, the old guard took the jade token into the city lord's mansion and soon arrived outside a hall.

"Li Xiu is gone?" The president's voice came from the hall.

The old guard walked into the hall, handed the jade token to the president with both hands, lowered his head and smiled, "Let's go."

"What did he say?" the president asked after taking the jade token.

"General Li didn't say anything, he just handed over the jade token." said the old guard.

"Old Jia, what do you think of Li Xiu?" the president said while playing with the jade token.

"General Li is successful at a young age and has the sharpness of a young man, but he also knows when to advance and when to retreat, and has his own vision, which is rare." Guard Lao Jia replied respectfully.

"It seems that you like him very much. You have been guarding the door for me for sixty-three years. No matter what happened before, you never said a word. Today you said a few words to him." The president said lightly.

Old Jia immediately fell to the ground in fear and trepidation and said, "I am the old servant who spoke too much. Please punish me, Lord City Lord."

"Get up. No one is saintly. You have been careful with your words and deeds for sixty-three years, which is rare. Of all the old brothers who used to guard the gate with you, you are the only one left now. There are not many people around me who can talk to me about the past, and you are the only one left." The president said lightly: "Old Jia, what do you think if I give this jade token to Li Xiu?"

When Old Jia heard what the president said, he quickly said, "Although Director Li is extremely talented and has an unparalleled mind, he is still too young and has only been practicing for a short time. Isn't it too early to give him the jade token?"

"It's a little early, but now that the jade token is back, we naturally can't give it back. We have to find a new owner for it." The president said lightly.

"The president is right." Lao Jia didn't dare to say anything more.

The president threw the jade token to Lao Jia and said calmly, "Take the jade token to him and follow him from now on."

"President...I..." Lao Jia knelt down with a look of panic on his face.

"You don't have to think too much. Now that the jade token is in his hands, the responsibility naturally falls on him. Someone has to tell him what to do. You should take the time to stay by his side and give him some pointers so that he won't waste his precious time." The president said with a smile.

"I obey your orders. Please take care of yourself, President. I can no longer guard the door for you." Old Jia bowed deeply with tears in his eyes.

"Go ahead." The president waved his hand.

Only then did Lao Jia get up and leave, he knew he would never be able to come back.

Before Li Xiu returned to Courtyard No. 7, he saw the old guard who was talking to him at the gate of Chengmen Mansion chasing after him.

"Please stay, Mr. Li." Old Jia caught up with Li Xiu and said.

"Old sir, has the president changed his mind and wants to see me?" Li Xiu thought that Lao Jia was here to take him back.

Old Jia shook his head and handed the jade token to Li Xiu with both hands: "Director, the president asked me to give the jade token to you. From now on, this jade token belongs to you."

"President, give me the jade token?" Li Xiu looked at Lao Jia in surprise.

"Yes, this jade token is yours from now on. The president asked me to follow you, the general, from now on." Lao Jia saluted.

Li Xiu immediately guessed something and quickly supported Lao Jia and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for the old gentleman. From now on, you will join my technician team and just enjoy your life. I don't even know what to call the old gentleman?"

"Just call me Lao Jia, Chief." Lao Jia said quickly.

"Old Jia, let's go back together. Do you have a place to live? If not, just live in my Courtyard No. 7. I will prepare a room for you." Li Xiu felt a little guilty. If Old Jia hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have been brought to his place by the president.

"General, there is no need to be polite to me. I have been guarding the door for the president all my life. I don't know how to do anything else but guard the door. If you don't mind, let me guard the door for you. I have no children or family, so I don't need a wing room. I can just live in the gatehouse." said Lao Jia.

"As long as you like it." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Li Xiu took Lao Jia back to Courtyard No. 7, asked someone to help Lao Jia clean up the gatehouse, and let Lao Jia move in.

When Li Zheng was about to get something to eat, Lao Jia stopped him.

"Chief, do you know why the president gave you the jade token?" Lao Jia said.

"You know?" Li Xiu looked at Lao Jia in surprise and asked.

"I know a little. If the commander-in-chief is free, I will tell you in detail." Lao Jia said with a smile.

"I'll make some food and we'll eat and talk." Li Xiu said as he was about to go to the kitchen.

"How can we let the chief go to the kitchen himself? Let me do it. I'm good at this." Old Jia said and ran to the kitchen without giving Li Xiu a chance to refuse.

After a while, Lao Jia brought out several delicious side dishes.

"We haven't prepared much today, so just make do with what you have." Lao Jia put the dishes on the table.

"Old Jia, let's sit down and drink and chat." Li Xiu took out a bottle of wine and poured it for Old Jia and himself.

Old Jia didn't hesitate. He sat down without picking up any food. He drank a sip of wine, took a sip and said with a smile, "Director, do you know what this jade token represents?"

"I heard that he represents the president. Seeing the sign is like seeing the person, just like the ancient saying 'I am here in person'." Li Xiu said while eating. He likes to eat first and then drink.

"It's true. With this jade token, everyone in Changshengtian will give you some face. Even if you kill someone in the city, the law enforcement team won't dare to arrest you when they see the token. They can only ask the president for instructions first. No one dares to touch you without the president's personal nod." Lao Jia liked to drink without eating food, so he took a sip after a while.

"This jade token actually has such great benefits and powers, why did the president give it to me?" Li Xiu asked while playing with the jade token.

"With rights come responsibilities, and there is no free lunch in the world," said Lao Jia.

"Oh, what responsibility?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.

"With this jade token, you can be said to be second to none in Changshengtian. You can have whatever you want, and no one dares to compete with you. However, if you take the benefits, you will have to pay something."

"Pay for what?"

"You have to fight for this jade token."

"Desperately? How?"

Old Jia looked at the jade token in Li Xiu's hand and said, "Did you see the magic words engraved on the jade token?"

"Are these the times engraved on it?" Li Xiu had already seen it.

"Yes, it's time. The general manager is really knowledgeable and can even recognize magic words." Lao Jia said seriously: "Take this jade token, when the time on the jade token comes, you have to fight hard. If you win, the jade token will still be yours, and you can have whatever you want in the future. As long as you don't go too far, even if you are a little greedy, the president will not do anything to you."

"When the time comes, who should I fight with?" Li Xiu stared at Lao Jia and asked. He knew that he was approaching the center of the secret.

"I don't know." Old Jia shook his head and said, "Don't look at me like that, Chief. I really don't know. Sixty years ago, I saw someone take the jade token and follow the president. He never came back. The president said he lost the fight and his life was gone."

"Who was that person sixty years ago?" Li Xiu asked.

"That man used to be very famous in Changshengtian. His name was Guan Qingzhai." Old Jia said slowly.

"Guan Qingzhai? What's his relationship with Guan Jinghao from Space City?" Li Xiu probably had guessed who that person was.

"No one knows. I guess Guan Jinghao should be the descendant of Guan Qingzhai, otherwise the jade token would not be in the hands of Space City, but this is just my guess." Old Jia smiled bitterly and said, "If you hadn't taken the jade token back, then the one who would fight with the jade token would have been someone from the Guan family. But now that you have taken the jade token back and the president has given it to you, then the one who should fight has become you."

"Can I return the jade token to Guan Jinghao?" Li Xiu said with a wry smile.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Lao Jia shook his head.

"There's only a date but no year on this date. I wonder which year it is?" Li Xiu pondered as he looked at the jade token.

"This year marks the sixtieth anniversary," said Lao Jia.

"This year? If you calculate it this way, there are only a few months left. Am I not taking the blame for someone else's misfortune and taking it on myself?" Li Xiu felt that he was really being cheated this time.

"Who said it wasn't? But there is still some time. You still have time to do something with this brand." Lao Jia sighed.

"For example?" Li Xiu asked.

“For example, you can call upon the resources in the city treasury and borrow some to use first.” Lao Jia said with a smile.

"I like this." Li Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he asked while holding the sign, "Do I need to return it after I borrow it?"

"After a few months, if you don't win and you're dead, what's the point of returning the money? If you win, you'll be a huge hero and the brand will still be yours. Who would dare to ask you to return it?" Lao Jia said.

"That makes sense. I'll go to the city warehouse now." Li Xiu said as he prepared to get up.

"General, don't rush to go. At your level, although there are many resources in the city treasury, they may not be of much use to you." Lao Jia said hurriedly.

"Then can I borrow something from the president's small treasury?" Li Xiu asked with a blink.

"You want to snatch the treasure from the person who gave you the power. Do you think this is possible?" Lao Jia said with a wry smile.

"The money in the city treasury is too low-level, and the president's small treasury cannot be borrowed, so isn't my jade token useless?" Li Xiu frowned.

"Of course we can't borrow the president's private treasury, but it's not just the president who has a private treasury in the city. Some of the wealthy and powerful families have accumulated funds for thousands of years, and they also have a lot of good things." Lao Jia said with narrowed eyes.

"The Four Great Families!" Li Xiu's eyes lit up. He finally knew how to use this thing.

But on second thought, no matter what good things the four great families had, they would not just take them out for him to choose. Even if he went to the four great families, they would at most show him some junk for the sake of the jade token.

Just like in the myth, when Monkey King went to borrow treasures from the Dragon King, the Dragon King just gave him some junk to fool him.

If Monkey King hadn't been so shameless and refused to leave the Dragon King's crystal palace, he would not have been able to get the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the armor, boots and so on.

That's all. The Dragon King only gave Sun Wukong some useless things, which can't be considered a real treasure.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang is completely useless except for its ability to grow bigger or smaller. It is far inferior to a truly powerful treasure.

If Li Xiu went to borrow things from the four great families, would they give him the good stuff to choose from? He knew it was impossible.

After all, the jade token in his hand was not an imperial edict for confiscating property. It was impossible for him to take out all the treasures like Wei Xiaobao did when he confiscated Aobai's house.

"Old Jia, what do you think I can borrow from the four big families?" Li Xiu had no choice but to throw the question back to Old Jia.

Since this idea was proposed by Lao Jia, I think he must have a way to solve it. We can't let him make a wasted trip.

"Chief, please take a look at this." Lao Jia took out an old notebook from his arms and handed it to Li Xiu.

After Li Xiu took the notebook and flipped through a few pages, the smile on his face never stopped.

This notebook records what a certain family received on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. Everything recorded in it is priceless.

"Old Jia, you really helped me a lot." Li Xiu looked happy.

"Chief, the things recorded here are very old after all. It's hard to say whether they are still in other people's hands. Whether you can borrow them depends on your luck." Lao Jia said.

Li Xiu understood what Lao Jia meant. It was true that the things were in the other person's hands, but if the other person didn't acknowledge it, then Li Xiu would have no choice. Therefore, when borrowing things, one must be particular about the method and manner.

"Don't worry, I will have a good chat with them." Li Xiu said with a smile.

After chatting with Lao Jia for half the night, Li Xiu asked everything he could think of, but Lao Jia didn't reveal much.

Li Xiu also knew that Lao Jia must know more than just this, but there were some things he definitely could not say.

Lao Jia didn't know much about the Space City, and he didn't dare to say who he was going to fight with. Li Xiu had to ask about Guan Qingzhai.

According to Lao Jia, this Guan Qingzhai was recruited from outside by the president himself. At that time, Guan Qingzhai was just like Li Xiu is now, and was the most popular person in Changshengtian.

Of course, the reason why he is in the limelight is somewhat different from Li Xiu. After Li Xiu entered Changshengtian, he defeated all the enemies along the way and fought hard for every battle.

Guan Qingzhai was different. After he came to Changshengtian, the president directly gave him a jade token. He could get whatever he wanted, and he made those wealthy families at that time suffer a lot.

Li Xiu didn't care much about these things. He just wanted to know what level Guan Qingzhai was at when he followed the president to fight.

What if Guan Qingzhai had already become a god-level boss by then, but still couldn't come back alive? Then Li Xiu would have to consider whether he should run away now.

Anyway, he still had to go out and host the Trialist Competition, so he could just use this as an excuse to run away and hide in the deep mountains and forests. Not to mention that the president would never be able to find him for the rest of his life, it should be no problem for him to hide for a few months and wait for this matter to pass.

He had just been promoted to the Soul Casting level, and there were only a few months left before the time on the jade token expired. It was still quite difficult to be promoted to the status of a god. He just liked taking risks, not giving away his life, so he had to run away when he had to.

The answer Lao Jia gave him was the peak of Soul Forging. Li Xiu didn’t quite believe it and planned to wait for a chance to go to the president to confirm it again, or ask other people. Mr. Ba and Wan Chaochun should know something about Guan Qingzhai.

Li Xiu still felt that this matter was full of doubts. If Guan Jinghao was the descendant of Guan Qingzhai, and he would have to fight as hard as Guan Qingzhai in the future, that was why the president tolerated the existence of the Space City. Then, what on earth made Guan Jinghao fight so hard?

To put it mildly, Guan Qingzhai's strength is at the third form of soul forging. Even if Guan Jinghao is also a trial-taker, the gem resources and trial gate resources in the Space City are pitifully scarce. How can Guan Jinghao, who has hardly left the Space City, be promoted to the level of a trial-taker?

Anyway, during the three years that Li Xiu was in the Space City, he had never seen Guan Jinghao control the magic armor, nor had he seen him display the methods of a trial-taker. Unless there was something special, he had never even left the City Lord's Mansion.

If Li Xiu hadn't snatched the jade token, why would Guan Jinghao follow the president and fight to the death?

"Shura so readily exchanged the jade token for Rakshasa's life. Could it be Guan Jinghao's instruction?" Li Xiu felt that he still had to go to the Space City.

Even if the fact that he took the jade token had nothing to do with the change, Guan Jinghao would have to pay the price. He remembered that Cullinan II should be in the space city.
