Chapter 1838: Chapter 55: Leaving Fenghuo City (Part 1)
The thoughts of everyone were also known to Yun Xia, who informed Mo Jiuli in the Space. After learning about it, Mo Jiuli pondered and came up with an idea. A month later, Mo Jiuli exited closed-door cultivation once again...
It was night, and thus Feng Xiaoyao, that troublesome issue, was not in his courtyard. Mo Jiuli had intentionally chosen to leave closed-door cultivation at night and directly summoned Li Cheng to gather all the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion in her courtyard...
Originally, there were about fifty guards in the City Lord’s Mansion, but now less than forty remained. After Li Cheng and Han Wen gathered everyone, Li Cheng looked at Mo Jiuli and said, "City Lord, we discussed it earlier. They are willing to stay in the City Lord’s Mansion to help you guard it, so if you wish to return one day, you’ll have a place to stay! The seven of us wish to follow you, and we hope you can agree..."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, everyone knelt before Mo Jiuli. Mo Jiuli was not too surprised as she already knew...
"All of you, stand up. I understand your intentions, but as the saying goes, ’a new Emperor means new officials.’ Since I’ve chosen to leave, I’m no longer the City Lord here! You need not guard this place for me. People naturally seek advancement; arrange your own good opportunities and positions as you see fit! This City Lord position in Fenghuo City, I merely passed through here and stayed for a few days temporarily. As for the spiritual stones Han Wen gave you before, they weren’t mine; that was rent money from Feng Xiaoyao staying here, so you don’t need to worry! We’ve known each other; I hope you all have a bright future! I won’t say much more. After I leave, don’t be too concerned about the City Lord’s Mansion; no one will come to seize the City Lord’s position, so just live peacefully here. The medication I’ve set around should instill enough dread in others towards the City Lord’s Mansion for some time, handle other matters as you see fit! Those who choose to stay here, disperse and go about your work..." Mo Jiuli said, looking at everyone.
"Thank you, City Lord!" Everyone expressed their gratitude towards Mo Jiuli and left.
Only Han Wen, Li Cheng, and the other five people remained, standing in place, looking at Mo Jiuli with anticipation. They were unsure whether Mo Jiuli would allow them to follow...
Mo Jiuli glanced at the seven people roughly. Li Cheng and Han Wen’s strength had reached God Level 1, likely because they had been here for a long time. The others were approximately Spirit God levels 4 and 5, which, like herself, indicated they probably hadn’t been here long...
"Why do you want to follow me?" Mo Jiuli asked the seven people.
"City Lord, Han Wen and I were orphans in the Underworld. After we ascended from the same continent to this place, our cultivation was slow due to our talents. Fortunately, the then City Lord of Fenghuo City was kind and recruited us as guards! Although we don’t worry about food and drink, our strength improved very slowly. We wish to explore Zhushen Continent, and even if we can’t become gods in the end and spend our lifetime here, we want to venture out, at least we won’t regret it!" Li Cheng and Han Wen exchanged a glance, then looked at Mo Jiuli and said.
"City Lord, the five of us are martial brothers from the same continent and sect. We’ve been on Zhushen Continent for twenty years, and we arrived here five years ago for work. We also wish to follow you on adventures!" said the man standing on the left among the remaining five.
