Volume 1 Chapter 567 See City Lord
"Big Brother Kong, when can you take me to the city again? Master is very strict with me. Only by following you will Master agree."
Kong Yun saw Hai Zi"s embarra.s.sed expression as he looked at himself. His two fingers were constantly spinning. How could he not know what this kid was thinking?
When he first came to Cosmos City, he had Hai Zi as his guide. Relying on the divine pearls he had just earned, the two of them had been very generous. Most importantly, they had come to Spring Pavilion. Hai Zi was obviously reluctant to part with him when he left. When he was young, he would naturally be tempted to go to such a wine-colored place.
Uncle Cai was not used to seeing Shi Wu Chengdu, so he definitely wouldn"t let his disciples go. Therefore, Hai Zi said that Uncle Cai"s discipline was very strict, and Kong Yun believed it.
This time, after he went to the City Lord"s Mansion, he would leave Cosmos City. Before he left, he would definitely pay a visit to Seventh Mother. When he went to the Spring Pavilion, he would bring this little brat along with him.
Kong Yun could feel that Hai Zi was a good seedling, so it was naturally impossible for him to come into contact with the bad things in the Spring Pavilion. At that time, he could explain to Seventh Mother and tell the girls not to provoke him.
"Wait, I"ll take you there tomorrow."
Hearing Kong Yun agree to his request, Hai Zi"s face was filled with joy. In the past two days, Uncle Cai had thrown all the matters of the auction to him. Although he had the help of Xiao Xing and the new auction system, because everything was new and he needed to be familiar with it, he was still very busy.
Uncle Cai had always been strict with his discipline and wouldn"t let him go out to play easily. It was all because Shi Wu Cheng was at the front. Uncle Cai was also afraid that Hai Zi would lose his will to play and not be able to inherit his mantle, so he strictly disciplined him. This was also the reason why Hai Zi hated Shi Wu Cheng .
Hai Zi took Kong Yun to Uncle Cai"s office and left. He didn"t want his master to nag him again. He found that his master had nagged him more and more frequently recently. He didn"t know why, but it was better to hide.
Kong Yun could only smile helplessly when he saw Hai Zi run away.
After entering the room, Uncle Cai was making tea with the tea set. He was not surprised to see Kong Yun enter.
"Sit down. Are you planning to ask me about the City Lord"s Mansion?"
Kong Yun was stunned by Uncle Cai"s direct explanation. However, he thought for a moment. Uncle Cai was the shopkeeper of such a large business, so how could he not be well-informed? The City Lord"s Manor"s butler invited him in front of so many people. If Uncle Cai did not know, it would be abnormal.
However, since Uncle Cai had said it out loud, he must know something. At that time, when he went to the City Lord"s Mansion, he would have a good idea.
Kong Yun still wanted to see the number one person in Cosmos City and see how powerful the Grand Perfection of Cosmos City Lord"s Laws was.
"Uncle Cai, since you already know, don"t make a fuss."
Ever since he arrived at Cosmos City, he had had frequent exchanges with Shunjin Trading Firm. Especially during the auction, the Shunjin Trading Firm that had been modified by Xiaoxing Science and Technology had attracted a lot of customers.
The transaction amount of this auction was more than double that of the previous auctions.
Originally, the Shunjin Trading Firm had grown to this point, and it was very difficult to make any progress. As a result, after the technological transformation, the Shunjin Trading Firm took a big step forward. Normally, it would not even think about it, because it was unrealistic, but the transaction volume was actually placed in front of Uncle Cai.
This made Uncle Cai feel like he was close to Kong Yun. After guarding the business for half a lifetime, with Kong Yun"s help, he had made a big breakthrough. How could he not like Kong Yun?
Therefore, the relationship between the two of them was very close now. Uncle Cai completely regarded Kong Yun as his junior nephew. Even if the Shi Clan did not invest in Kong Yun, he would still give Kong Yun convenience.
Uncle Cai gestured for Kong Yun not to be anxious. He let Kong Yun sit down and poured a cup of tea for Kong Yun.
"Why are you so impatient at such a young age? Try the tea leaves from the Divine Dao. This is the old man"s personal possession. Ordinary people can"t drink it."
Seeing Uncle Cai handing him the tea leaves, Kong Yun couldn"t help but take it. In any case, he wasn"t in a hurry to go to the City Lord"s Mansion for a while, so he calmed down and listened to Uncle Cai"s words.
After drinking a cup of tea, the refreshing energy entered his abdomen from his throat and spread into his limbs. His entire body felt much more refreshed, and the originally anxious fire in his heart was also extinguished by this cup of tea.
Uncle Cai watched Kong Yun drink the Heart Cleansing Tea, and then he said calmly, "City Lord Xuan Yu is from the same period as us. The Patriarch and Lord Xuan Yu can also be called brothers, so don"t worry, Lord Xuan Yu must know your ident.i.ty as a Grand Perfection of the Universe, so he will be fine if he wants to meet you."
"Lord Xuan Yu and Uncle Shi are brothers? Why haven"t I heard Xue Ren mention him before?"
When Kong Yun chatted with Shi Xueren, he had never heard her mention the City Lord"s Uncle. If the City Lord and Uncle Shi were brothers, then Xue Ren would have brought up two rounds. However, he had never heard Xue Ren mention that his father had the City Lord"s brother.
"Sigh, this is the secret of Cosmos City. Ever since Xuan Yu became the City Lord, no one has mentioned this. Back then, Xuan Yu also liked Xue Ren"s mother, but Xue Ren"s mother chose Big Brother in the end. After Xue Ren"s mother entered the fifth level of the Divine Dao, she never returned. Xuan Yu and Big Brother have no contact."
When Uncle Cai talked about this, he still had a look of recollection. The older one was, the more he would miss those old green onion days, and the more he would miss the pure friendship he had when he was young and ignorant.
As time went by, the feeling slowly changed.
"We are afraid that Xue Ren will miss his mother too much, so we have never told Xue Ren more about her mother. I hope you don"t mention this in front of Xue Ren. This child was born without her mother"s care. It"s already bitter enough. None of us seniors want her to be hurt again."
What Uncle Cai told him today could be considered the secret of Cosmos City. However, if it wasn"t for Uncle Cai and the rest of their generation, they wouldn"t have known about this. Otherwise, Shi Xueren, the eldest young miss of the Shi Clan, wouldn"t have always known about this secret.
However, this Mysterious Universe City Lord and Uncle Shi were considered rivals. Uncle Shi chose to invest in him. I wonder what kind of att.i.tude this legendary City Lord Xuan Yu would have towards him.
Uncle Cai had already said that nothing would happen, so he had nothing to worry about.
Kong Yun seemed to have realized something. Uncle Cai said that Xue Ren"s mother hadn"t returned after entering the fifth level of the Divine Dao. This proved that Xue Ren"s mother had already reached the Undying Immortal Realm. Furthermore, she had already reached this realm 19 years ago.
Not to mention what happened back then, according to her cultivation speed, she might have already reached the sixth or seventh level of the Divine Dao.
However, no one knew what the scenery was like after the fourth level of the Divine Way. None of the people who went to the fifth level had returned, nor had Xue Ren"s mother.
At this moment, he thought of Uncle Shi investing in him. If he wanted to ask him to promise him something after breaking through to the Undying Realm, it must be related to Xue Ren"s mother.
After all, this was an agreement between him and the head of the Shi Clan. It was not good for him to directly ask Uncle Cai and Shi Housheng what he wanted him to do, but he already had a rough idea in his heart.
After thanking Uncle Cai, Kong Yun left the Shunjin Trading Firm. The City Lord invited him. It wasn"t good for him to delay for too long. After withdrawing the Trading Firm, he headed straight for the City Lord"s Mansion.
When they arrived at the City Lord"s Mansion, they discovered that someone was already waiting outside the mansion. As soon as they saw Kong Yun"s figure appear outside the mansion, they quickly came forward to welcome Kong Yun.
"Young Master Kong, the City Lord has already instructed you to bring you to the main hall as soon as you arrive."
The City Lord had already sent people to wait at the entrance. He seemed to attach great importance to himself. It seemed that the City Lord had invited him to see him today, and it wasn"t just that he wanted to see him.
After entering the main hall of the City Lord"s Mansion, it was slightly different from the City Lord"s Mansion they saw when they partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion. This place was filled with solemnity and majesty. A main seat was placed high above it. It could be imagined that the City Lord usually commanded everything in Cosmos City here. This could be considered the power center of the entire Cosmos City.
"Little friend Kong, it"s really difficult to meet you."
Kong Yun saw a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He walked over from the side door and looked carefully. However, Kong Yun did not notice his aura. It was as if there was a strong aura of Laws on Ten Thousand Light "s body. The person in front of him seemed to be an ordinary person, but his aura was admirable.
The only person who could say this to him was the City Lord who had invited him.
"Senior, what are you talking about? This brat just feels that you have to tidy up when you come to see Senior. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Senior."
These words were true. Kong Yun admired the number one person in Cosmos City. The experts were worthy of admiration. Moreover, Cosmos City was so prosperous now. There were no dirty things like fighting with weapons, killing and setting fire in the city. All of them depended on a city lord who had both intelligence and martial power to govern it.
Kong Yun wasn"t the only one sizing up Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu was also examining the person in front of him. He had roughly guessed that the person at the Great Perfection of the Universe was Kong Yun, so he didn"t treat Kong Yun as his junior at all.
A Grand Perfection of Laws and a Grand Perfection of the Universe. Although there was a difference in strength between heaven and earth, there was no difference in cultivation realms.
Originally, he thought Kong Yun would be a proud young man, but he didn"t expect Kong Yun to be so humble.
Originally, he had heard that this brat was mixed up with Xue Ren, so he wanted to test it out, but Kong Yun"s humble att.i.tude made him lose even the mood to test it.
"I wonder why the City Lord is looking for me?"
Kong Yun still asked the question he was puzzled about. It was impossible for such a formal meeting to be just to chat with Kong Yun and talk about the world.
"I wonder, how did you break through to the great circle of the The universe ?"
Kong Yun"s brows tightened. He was a little worried. He had reached the Great Perfection of the Universe for no reason at all. There was nothing that could help him break through. If the City Lord didn"t believe him and coveted such a thing, it would be troublesome.
