Chapter 281: Will I, Ding, take on the position of Palace Master?
Ding Xuan opened his eyes wide and swallowed.
Although his cultivation was shallow, he was unable to discern the other party's specific realm.
But based on the power displayed just now, he could conclude that the other party was at least a strong man above the Sun Wheel Realm!
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about his own loss of composure.
He quickly stood up from the wooden chair, faced Zhang Long, bowed and said:
"I've met senior."
"I am deeply honored to have your presence here. I cannot go out to greet you. Please forgive me..."
Hearing this, Zhang Long's eyes moved slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He did not act like a bully or lose his manners just because he had the support of the Cangwu Jiang family. He still had a sense of awe for the strong.
With such tact, it is no wonder that he could establish a relationship with the Cangwu Jiang family with his mere Purple Mansion Realm cultivation.
Zhang Long shook his head. "Are you the Lord of Wudan City, Ding Xuan?"
When I heard that the other party came to see me specifically.
Ding Xuan was startled and asked cautiously, "It's me."
"I wonder who the senior is?"
Seeing that he had found the right target, Zhang Long nodded slightly: "Daqin, Zhang Long."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Xuan's pupils shrank and he instantly thought of something.
It would be fine if outsiders didn’t know.
But he was a member of the imperial court.
How could I not have heard of the name of the Demon Dragon General?
The thought that the person in front of me is actually the True Lord of All Things.
Ding Xuan instinctively felt nervous.
After all, this is a terrifying existence that can kill you with just a breath.
It's like an ant facing a lion.
How could you not be afraid?
But after all, he is a man who has experienced many ups and downs and has been shocked by Chief Jiang.
After the shock, he quickly came to his senses.
He raised his head slightly, stole a glance at Zhang Long from the corner of his eye, and said anxiously, "I wonder why General Zhang came here today? Could it be... the Cangwu Jiang family?"
The moment he learned the other party's identity, he already had a guess in his mind.
After all, with my meager strength, I definitely can't attract the other party to come.
The only family worthy of the other party's visit is probably the Cangwu Jiang family.
next moment.
Zhang Long's answer also confirmed what he was thinking.
"Yes, I originally came here for the Cangwu Jiang family."
"Originally, according to the king's order, I specially invited him to take the position of palace master, but when I visited Cangwu Mountain, the Jiang clan leader did not agree."
"Even if we had to compromise and invite a member of the Jiang family to be the palace master, we were rejected..."
Hearing this, Ding Xuan was not surprised at all.
After all, after spending some time together, I have been constantly dealing with the Cangwu Jiang family.
He was already familiar with the temperament of this mysterious patriarch.
I have absolutely no desire to dominate the world.
It can be said that he is not competitive.
If there is no external interference to disturb his meditation.
I'm afraid that this Chief of the Jiang clan can practice in seclusion in Cangwu Mountain forever!
Looking back at the unlucky people whose clans were exterminated by Chief Jiang in the past.
Which one of them didn't provoke the members of the Cangwu Jiang family first, which led to such a disaster?
Ding Xuan then sighed, "Hey, General Zhang, even Clan Leader Jiang has already disapproved. Why are you still looking for a mere Purple Mansion like me?"
"Do you want me to persuade Chief Jiang?"
"Although I have a close relationship with Chief Jiang, no one can disobey what he says."
"Even if I were to do that, it wouldn't affect me in the slightest. I might even end up getting killed!"
"You are the True Lord of All Things, and you hold a highly respected position throughout the entire Qin Dynasty."
"You are so magnanimous. Please don't embarrass me, a mere Purple Mansion Realm cultivator. This is an insult to your status..."
Worried that Zhang Long would say something outrageous.
Ding Xuan didn't even take a breath and started talking quickly, blocking all possibilities in an instant!
Seeing this, Zhang Long smiled.
I feel more and more that City Lord Ding Xuanding is truly a rare talent.
With his ability, being the lord of a city in a remote place is really a waste of talent and a waste of the court's talents.
If his cultivation level were higher, it would not be impossible for him to become the lord of a prefecture with his own abilities.
Sima Nan is really blind.
Such talents are not used properly.
No wonder he was so blind as to not recognize his own strength and provoke the unfathomable Chief Jiang.
After all, our horizons are only so narrow.
Then, wait for Ding Xuan to finish speaking.
Under his intense gaze, Zhang Long said in a deep voice, "Chief Jiang is incredibly powerful. I wouldn't dare challenge him, so why would I embarrass you?"
Hearing this, Ding Xuan felt relieved and couldn't help but let out a breath.
But soon, his heart was filled with doubts again.
If it’s not for Patriarch Jiang, then what is it for?
It can't be that this is just for me, right?
This is simply ridiculous!
Just when Ding Xuan was shocked and extremely curious.
Zhang Long's voice sounded again, causing his body to tremble!
"The king has ordered that if the Cangwu Jiang family is unwilling to take on the position of lord of Tiandu Prefecture, then the position will be taken by you. What do you think?"
I will be the master of the mansion?
Ding Xuan's eyes opened wide, full of disbelief!
He never imagined that this immense wealth that countless people dreamed of would suddenly fall on his head one day!
You should know that Tiandu Prefecture, although among the thirty-six prefectures, is only of the lower class.
However, the position of Palace Master requires a cultivator at least at the Moon Wheel Realm to be qualified!
But now, something outrageous has happened.
My cultivation level is only at the Purple Mansion Realm. How could I jump several levels and step on many cultivators at the Yuanhai Realm, Xinglun Realm, and Yuelun Realm to reach the top?
If he didn't have the support of the Cangwu Jiang family, he would probably be skinned alive by these jealous people or die in an accident as soon as he came to power?
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept appearing on Ding Xuan's forehead.
He clenched his fists and his eyes were wandering.
Since Patriarch Jiang looked down on it, he chose to refuse.
So, should I take the position of the Palace Master that is offered to me?
At this moment, Ding Xuan couldn't help but fall into a struggle between his conscience and his desires.
He had never been so conflicted as he was now.
Seeing that Ding Xuan was unable to make up his mind, Zhang Long was not in a hurry.
There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, and he felt a little surprised by this.
He never thought that Ding Xuan, a marginal figure, could withstand the temptation of the position of the Lord of the Mansion and remain sober.
After more than ten breaths.
Ding Xuan's eyes gradually became firm, and he had a plan in mind.
Although in the eyes of many forces, he has been completely linked to the Cangwu Jiang family.
But he still remembered that his current apparent identity was the mayor of Wudan City and a member of the imperial court!
Therefore, instead of letting those outsiders to serve as the Lord of Tiandu Prefecture and occasionally cause trouble for Chief Jiang, it is better to let myself do it!
At least Ding Xuan is devoted to Patriarch Jiang and has no second thoughts!
