Small business

For the two of them, this scene was extremely dreamlike.

Although City Lord Gu Yan was a City Lord, that city was just an insignificant one among the countless in the Chaotic Land.

Don't look at him as someone important in Wanbian City; once he left Wanbian City, who in the world would recognize him?

It could be said that any Inner Sect Disciple of the Phoenix Feather Sect, when venturing out, would have a much nobler status than him, and their words would carry more weight than his.

His greatest wish in this life was to advance further and become the Lord of a Mid-sized City.

Yet now, the Phoenix Feather Sect Sect Leader, the person in charge of the strongest Sect in the Chaotic Land, had offered him a position, allowing him to choose it himself.

This scene was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of.

This Opportunity was so great that it made his mouth go dry.

On the other side, Xiang Fei was even more distraught than him.

If City Lord Gu Yan was still a City Lord, then Xiang Fei was a 'three-no' person with nothing.

He even came to Central Province by smuggling himself in.

In his view, after arriving in Central Province, he would have to lie low for a few hundred years, and if he was lucky enough to join a small Sect, starting from the bottom, if he could become a high-level executive in a small Sect in this life, it would be considered a blessing from heaven.

But now, an immense fortune was placed before him without any reservation.

For a moment, his breathing quickened.

He swallowed his saliva and asked incredulously, "Sect Leader Feng, can it really be any position? If I want to become the Lord of a small Sect, is that also possible?"

He originally asked that as a joke, wanting to ease the tension in his heart because he was too shaken.

Unexpectedly, Feng Buqun immediately nodded: "Of course!"

"In the southern part of my Phoenix Feather Sect, there is a Sect named Fei Yu Sect, which is a vassal of my Sect."

"It has dozens of Three Yang experts, and even a Half-step Myriad Laws Realm expert. If you are interested, I can write a letter, and you can directly go to Fei Yu Sect to be the Sect Master."

"I believe with my handwritten letter, they wouldn't dare to disobey you."

"Of course, there are also stronger Sects than Fei Yu Sect. If you are willing to wait for a period of time, I can arrange something else for you."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Fei's heart rate suddenly increased by three beats.

Purely out of excitement.

"No need, I think this Fei Yu Sect is quite good!"

The Lord of a Sect.

And the Lord of a Sect in the Chaotic Land, such a figure, for Xiang Fei, was undoubtedly an existence he could only look up to.

He never dreamed that one day he would hold such a high position.

This could truly be described as a meteoric rise!

Thinking of this, his gaze towards Zhong Qing was filled with deep gratitude.

If not for Zhong Qing, how could the esteemed Phoenix Feather Sect Sect Leader know who Xiang Fei was?

Now, not only did he lower himself to chat and laugh with him, but he also directly placed him in the position of a Sect Lord.

He felt that he must have used up all the luck of his life to befriend Zhong Qing.

Only then did he get this Opportunity.

On the other side!

City Lord Gu Yan also had an idea.

He looked at Feng Buqun and said, "Sect Leader Feng, I was originally the City Lord of Wanbian City, and I have spent most of my life in that area."

"I've grown attached to it."

"Now, I have no other thoughts, I just hope that Wanbian City can become more prosperous and powerful."

"I wonder, Sect Leader Feng, can you assign the three surrounding cities, with Wanbian City as the center, all to the sphere of influence of my Wanbian City?"

Feng Buqun knew about City Lord Gu Yan.

He also knew that City Lord Gu Yan's daughter, Gu Man, was Zhong Qing's first Named Disciple.

Zhong Qing finally spoke up; how could he just make a casual arrangement and hastily conclude the matter?

Feng Buqun pondered for a moment and then said, "How about this?"

"With Wanbian City as the center, all ten surrounding cities will be merged into it."

"Of course, leading ten cities at once, it's hard to guarantee that no one will harbor resentment."

"You can also take on the position of a Great Commander in my Phoenix Feather Sect."

"This way, no petty individuals will dare to act presumptuously in your territory. What do you think?"

If City Lord Gu Yan's strength wasn't only at the Three Yang Realm, Feng Buqun would even consider giving him the position of a Consecrated Elder.

But even as a Great Commander, he would be considered an absolute high-ranking official within the Phoenix Feather Sect.

His status would be several times more noble than that of a Core Disciple.

This was, of course, a great thing for City Lord Gu Yan.

He hadn't expected that what he asked for would not only be granted exceptionally but also multiplied several times over.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Feng!"

He sincerely thanked him, and at the same time, his gaze towards Zhong Qing was filled with immense gratitude.

Zhong Qing had saved his life earlier, and now he had elevated his career by several levels.

And the premise of all this was simply because he had invited the other party to drink two pots of wine.

He never imagined that a spur-of-the-moment act of his would bring about such earth-shattering changes to his life.

At the same time!

At another table.

Wang Liang looked at City Lord Gu Yan chatting and laughing with his Sect Master, and he felt extremely sour.

He had originally intended to make City Lord Gu Yan his confidant.

Who would have thought?

In the blink of an eye, the other party's status had surpassed his.

What a waste to try and recruit him now.

At the same time, he also figured it out.

This City Lord Gu Yan and Zhong Qing clearly knew each other long ago!

It's even possible that when he was searching for Zhong Qing's whereabouts, the other party was hiding in City Lord Gu Yan's house.

But City Lord Gu Yan had pretended to be serious back then, taking him around to search for Zhong Qing. His diligent and responsible demeanor had even made him feel a fondness for his talent.

Recalling it now, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He felt like a clown.

Blind and poor at judging people.

Yet, even though he knew the truth, not only could he not seek revenge on the other party, but if they met again, he would have to put on a smiling face.

Just thinking about this situation made him feel as if he had eaten excrement; the frustration in his heart was beyond words.

This was just a small interlude.

At the banquet, there were quite a few similar small interludes.

For example, Lu Feng, the former Great Commander of the Mystic Realm Mine, was very low-key at this time, wishing he could shrink into a corner and not attract so much attention.

Although Zhong Qing had said that the previous grievances with the Phoenix Feather Sect were cleared.

His past misdeeds would not be pursued either.

But he was, after all, the only one in the Sect who had slapped the totem Divine Bird. If the Sect Master and others knew about this, even if he didn't die, he would probably be peeled of a layer of skin.

He occasionally glanced at Little Ga nervously, afraid that the other party would recognize him.

This process was incredibly nerve-wracking.

However, Little Ga's eyes were filled only with his Big Brother Qilin.

As for Lu Feng, he had long forgotten who he was.

In other words, Lu Feng was just scaring himself.

This grand banquet lasted for three days.

Compared to the few who remained sober, most of the others were completely drunk.

The end of this grand banquet also meant that the Phoenix Feather Sect would usher in a brand new chapter.

And Zhong Qing, who came from the distant Eastern Region, passed through the Northern Region, crossed the Chaotic Demon Sea, traversed the Heavenly Abyss, and now had a small foundation in this Central Province.
