Chapter 396 Performance of Duties

An hour later, the ancestor Qin Kaibang returned to Qingxuan Sect with his younger sister Qin Xiaoluo and Grandmaster Lan Kui.

Before leaving, the ancestor specifically told Qin Shaochen to come to Qingxuan Sect every year in the future.

First, to observe Qin Shaochen's progress in cultivation.

Second, to teach Qin Shaochen some magic skills.

Although the Qingxuan Sect's skills cannot be passed on to Qin Shaochen, some of the ancestor's experience and some magic can be passed on to Qin Shaochen.

In addition, the ancestor also secretly told Qin Shaochen that after years of preparation, he had collected two foundation-building pills.

Because no one in the clan could use them for many years, they have been kept.

In the last few years, he plans to sell some of his wealth and get two more.

At that time, he will give Qin Shaochen and Qin Xiaoluo two each to help them become great spiritual masters of foundation building.

The ancestor said earnestly that before he turned into a material being, his only hope was to cultivate a great spiritual master of foundation building for the family.

After his death, they can continue to protect the Qin family.

Qin Xiaoluo is one of the hopes.

But there is no doubt that Qin Shaochen, a four-orifice spiritualist who has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, has more hope.

As the ancestor of the Qin family, of course, some preparations must be made for him.

Facing the ancestor's earnest hope and deliberate care, Qin Shaochen is of course full of gratitude.

The foundation-building pill can be regarded as the most rare pill in the world of cultivation.

Even if he is now rich, he has not yet got one.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor who just met would value himself so much. Not only did he tell him a lot of spiritual knowledge, but he also prepared the foundation-building pill for him to advance in advance.

This also made Qin Shaochen feel a little bit of belonging to the ancestor of the Qin family.

However, he still hopes to practice in his own way.

Did not step on the ancestor's flying spiritual weapon.

***

After the ancestor left, Fairy Yueyu and others were not idle.

Immediately began to pack up and prepare to rush to Zhangjiajie.

From the known information, the two great spiritualists of the Puppet Sect will not let the Qin family go.

They certainly cannot fight against the person who even the ancestors have to retreat, and can only hide for a while.

And several leading figures of the Qin family are persuading Qin Shaochen to act together and go to Zhangjiajie to avoid it.

But Qin Shaochen still shook his head.

He insisted on staying on the pretext that he was in office and could not neglect his duties.

He wanted to stay for no other reason than that he was dissatisfied.

So what if he was a great spiritualist? He might not be able to deal with him.

Running away when he can't win is certainly his usual trick.

That is to avoid losses in front of him.

But when encountering things, he dare not face them and only think about escaping, which is not his style.

Just because he is not an opponent in public does not mean that he cannot compete secretly.

Therefore, he chose to stay.

He handed the green ghost and half of the puppets to his grandfather and others.

The red ghost and the other half of the puppets were left with him.

After the clan leader, grandfather and others drove a large team of carriages on the road, Qin Shaochen also left this suburban manor.

He did not return to Huaitian City directly, but visited Xiong Bihui first.

When he met City Lord Xiong, Xiong Bihui and Huo Zhengtong were sitting together drinking.

Qin Shaochen had to accompany the two of them and drink three cups before talking about business.

He told Xiong Bihui that he was going to return to the City Lord's Mansion to take up his duties.

Xiong Bihui was surprised.

"You are going back now?"

"Aren't you afraid that those two vicious bastards will harm you."

"No."

Qin Shaochen's tone was quite confident.

"Those two great spiritualists want to deal with the old Qin family and the old Wang family."

"As long as I don't reveal my identity, I will just say that I am the inner lieutenant sent by the court. Those two bastards probably don't dare to do anything to me."

Seeing that the two were a little skeptical, Qin Shaochen said something else.

According to the information he had heard, after the two great spiritualists occupied the City Lord's Mansion, they only attacked the Qin family and the Wang family once, but did not attack other families in Huaitian City.

It can be seen that all his actions were aimed at the Qin and Wang families.

After capturing the great spiritualist of the Wang family, the two did not kill him directly.

After reaching an agreement, the great spiritualist of the Wang family was released.

Obviously, they did not intend to make things too awkward.

Therefore, Qin Shaochen estimated that when he returned to the City Lord's Mansion to perform his duties, the two great spiritualists would not do anything to him.

After all, he was also an elected official of the Great Chu State.

To deal with him was to go directly against the Great Chu State.

I think the two great spiritualists, although arrogant, were not so arrogant.

Xiong Bihui's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Shaochen say this.

During this period of time, he was hiding in this remote place, and his heart was also very depressed.

After listening to Qin Shaochen's analysis, he felt that it made some sense.

At that moment, let Huo Zhengtong go back to Huaitian City with Qin Shaochen.

If there were no unexpected events within three days after the two of them returned, he would also return to the City Lord's Mansion.

Continue to be his City Lord!

Huo Zhengtong smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

Qin Shaochen naturally had no objection. He first returned to the suburban manor of the old Qin family and told the puppets to return to the little Qin family on their own.

He and Huo Zhengtong rode fast horses and went straight back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Although he was chased by a great spiritualist once, he was always in the back view, and at the same time, his cultivation level was the middle stage of the martial artist.

And this time, he returned to the great martial artist again.

Thinking that the great spiritualists would not care about warriors like them, they would definitely not find any flaws.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, although two spiritual consciousnesses swept over them, no one came to question them.

And Huo Zhengtong was also refreshed when he saw that there were still many old subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion.

He immediately summoned some people to come and find out what was going on.

Only then did he know that after the two great spiritualists occupied the City Lord's Mansion, they were mainly busy in the backyard and rarely came out to move.

Basically, they did not interfere with the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, some cultivation materials in the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion were still taken away by the two.

Huo Zhengtong nodded, and naturally did not dare to say much.

First, take Qin Shaochen to a side yard.

That is where the inner guard works.

The inner guard is mainly in charge of city defense, responsible for arresting criminals and thieves, and is also the real power office of Huaitian City.

What surprised both of them was that there were actually several palace guards working in the office at this time.

Huo Zhengtong called people over, told several palace guards about Qin Shaochen's identity, and then went to do other things.

Qin Shaochen talked to several men for a few words, and asked the palace guards to take him around the city lord's mansion to understand the situation.

The palace guards did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took their immediate superiors to patrol around.

Qin Shaochen walked here and there, and seemed quite patient.

His purpose was certainly not to get familiar with the city lord's mansion, but to understand the arrangements of the two great spiritualists of the Puppet Sect in the city lord's mansion.

Soon, he found that the great spiritualist named Xiang Zhongting had arranged some people to guard in various places in the city lord's mansion.

But in fact, they were just pretending.

Because those guards, although they were highly skilled in martial arts, were actually blood puppets.

Qin Shaochen had more than twenty puppets under his command, and he knew those characters well.

Those puppets were good for fighting and killing.

But if they were asked to handle other things, they would be very slow.

They did not pose any threat at all.

Qin Shaochen was secretly delighted and asked the guards to take him to the backyard.

An old guard was a little embarrassed.

"Sir, the backyard is now occupied by two big shots. If we go there, we will probably be driven away."

"What are you afraid of? We are just going to take a look. What can happen?"

The guards had no choice but to take Qin Shaochen to the backyard.
