C58 Paying a Visit to the City Lord



C58 Paying a Visit to the City Lord

He still had a warm smile on his face and his eyes were slightly narrowed. He did not show it. He turned to look at the four guards and said, "Mr Yang is an important guest of City Lord's Mansion. From now on, whenever he visits, no one is allowed to stop him."    

    

"Yes!"    

    

The guards quickly agreed. After exchanging glances, they saw the shock in each other's eyes.    

    

Zhou Sheng was the supervisor of Qingzhou City, and in City Lord's Mansion, he was the second person with the most power. A big figure of this level actually had a connection with a junior of Yang family. If this matter was spread out, it might cause a lot of people to be shocked.    

    

Judging from the way they addressed him just now, their relationship was probably better than what they had imagined.    

    

"Fortunately, I didn't do anything stupid just now. I just followed the procedure. Otherwise, I would have been finished."    

    

The tall and thin man in the lead couldn't help but sigh in relief. If he had chased Yang Xuan away without asking the people around him, he would have been punished by now.    

    

When he thought of this, he felt somewhat indignant in his heart. Looking at the backs of the two slowly leaving, he murmured, "He has such a high status and even such a strong backer. He actually came to the City Lord's Mansion and dressed so plainly. Fortunately, I'm smart enough. Otherwise, I would have been in trouble a long time ago. "    

    

"That's right."    

    

A guard at the side carefully looked at their disappearing figures in the residence and said, "If it were me, I would have to sit in a palanquin and go out in glory. I have gold ornaments all over my body. I wouldn't be as ordinary as him. "    

    

"You'd better shut up. Lord Zhou also wore plain clothes, and so did City Lord. If you are heard by others, you might be fired. "    

    

The moment these words were spoken, the few of them immediately quieted down. However, the intoxicated expression on their faces betrayed them completely.    

    

At this moment, Yang Xuan and Zhou Sheng, who were being discussed by them, were still walking slowly.    

    

The City Lord's Mansion was very big.    

    

This was the first feeling Yang Xuan had when he came in.    

    

He had been here before, but either it was to deal with urgent matters. Or he had been in a carriage when he came here, so he hadn't taken a close look at the environment. Now that he had the leisure to watch, he was attracted by the various halls around him.    

    

Although Qingzhou City was a small city, as the place where the power and influence of this region gathered, the City Lord's Mansion did not feel cold at all.    

    

Dozens of different palaces were separated on both sides of the road. This was different from the buildings in the family, and it looked even grander.    

    

There were red walls, green tiles, and red mahogany buildings.    

    

The surroundings were filled with lush greenery and emitted waves of refreshing aura. Even though they were between the tall buildings, the environment did not seem to be dull at all.    

    

Yang Xuan kept looking at his surroundings, his eyes full of admiration.    

    

Zhou Sheng naturally noticed his change, but he only smiled and didn't say anything. The two of them continued forward until they finally stopped in front of a large hall.    

    

This large hall was slightly different from the rest. Regardless of whether it was the decoration or the carvings, they were much more exquisite. The outside of the hall was filled with guards. Each of them had a solemn expression and a grave aura.    

    

"Recently, there have been a lot of matters. City Lord has been handling them in this hall."    

    

Zhou Sheng said softly. Without waiting for Yang Xuan to speak, he walked in slowly.    

    

Yang Xuan stood still for a moment. He was hesitating whether he should follow Yang Xuan into the palace or not. Suddenly, a voice rang in his ears.    

    

"Come in."    

    

"This is City Lord's voice!"    

    

His heart skipped a beat. It was as if these words had been heard right next to his ears, without any warning. It was extremely mystical.    

    

With a sigh of admiration in his heart, he immediately followed behind Zhou Sheng and walked in.    

    

The outer appearance of the hall looked very dignified, but the interior of the hall was much calmer. There wasn't even any decorative items inside. Apart from a few pots of flowers and plants, there were only the necessary tables and chairs left, which seemed somewhat empty.    

    

At the very front of the hall, a dark red long table was placed there. Old City Lord was sitting at the back, looking at the pile of papers on the table.    

    

"Hello, City Lord!"    

    

Yang Xuan cupped his fist and bowed slightly.    

    

Old City Lord raised his head and the paper on the table floated to the side.    

    

"I was just about to call you over to discuss calligraphy, but I didn't expect you to be here already. What do you want?"    

    

"I am practicing the cultivation technique you taught me at home today. I have achieved some success, so I am here to thank you."    

    

"Cultivation technique?"    

    

City Lord slowly stood up and stroked his white beard. He looked confused and asked, "When did I teach you cultivation method?"    

    

"It's the cultivation technique that infuses Qi. I have bitterly studied it for many days and have benefited a lot. Thank you so much."    

    

Yang Xuan said earnestly and bowed again with a sincere expression.    

    

City Lord's brows were tightly knitted, and the speed at which he stroked his beard with his right hand was getting faster and faster. Suddenly, he screamed and a white beard slowly floated down.    

    

However, he did not care. He and Zhou Sheng looked at each other, and both of them were stunned. Their eyes kept flashing, and no one knew what they were thinking.    

    

"City Lord? Mr. Zhou?"    

    

Yang Xuan asked tentatively. When he saw that neither of them had any reaction, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.    

    

Just as he was about to give them a further reminder, he noticed that both of them were looking at him.    

    

"I don't know what cultivation method you're talking about. All in all, what I taught you at that time was just simple calligraphy, so there's no need for you to thank me."    

    

"But I really comprehended it, and it was derived from that calligraphy."    

    

Yang Xuan was somewhat anxious. He was afraid that City Lord would not believe him. Immediately, he gathered the Spirit Aura in his body and wanted to demonstrate it on the spot. However, just as he raised his hand, his hand was pushed back by an invisible force.    

    

"Alright. Since I've said so, then this matter has been decided. You don't need to argue anymore. Even if you have truly comprehended something from it, it is also due to your own luck. "    

    

Old City Lord said with a smile, as if he did not want to discuss this matter at all.    

    

Yang Xuan was silent for a moment, then nodded as if he didn't understand. Then he tactfully shut his mouth.    

    

It was obvious that Old City Lord was much more interested in calligraphy. Immediately, he put aside everything else and brought Yang Xuan into the study.    

    

In the morning, Yang Xuan had only copied a copy of prime minister Xu's handwriting and the calligraphy he wrote last time.    

    

This time, Old City Lord was rather satisfied, but he still pointed out many shortcomings in one go, making Yang Xuan feel ashamed.    

    

During the entire morning's exchange, Yang Xuan felt that his calligraphy had improved a lot. If this was in the past, it would definitely make him happy for a long time.
