17: Feiyun City
The Heavenly Martial Continent has a total of three thousand domains, among which the five major upper domains are the most abundant in resources and have vast territories.
As one of the five top forces, Tai Xuan Sect controls an upper domain, with countless cities under its command, including more than three hundred large cities and thousands of medium and small cities.
Chu Xuan, as a True Disciple, with King Realm cultivation, governs a large city.
"Little Junior Brother, that's Feiyun City ahead. You haven't been here before, have you?"
Chu Xuan said with a smile.
The two sat on the spirit boat, looking down. Not far ahead, a huge city rose from the ground.
The city was several tens of feet high, extremely vast, and countless Cultivators guarded the city walls, all of whom were city guards.
As a behemoth of the Heavenly Martial Continent, Tai Xuan Sect governs an upper domain. Besides the Sect's strength, the power that can be mobilized by the large and small cities within the domain is not small.
They could easily raise an army of Cultivators.
Su Changqing nodded.
The Feiyun City before his eyes was much larger than the ancient cities of his previous life's Blue Star, not even on the same level.
"I really haven't been here."
Chu Xuan smiled slightly and said:
"That's good. Since you're here in Feiyun City this time, I'll take you on a good tour. Don't worry inside the city; this is your Senior Sister's territory. Feel free to do whatever you want; your Senior Sister will handle everything."
Chu Xuan directly guaranteed it.
She had governed Feiyun City for many years, and the various Family forces within the city feared her immensely, with no one daring to provoke her.
After all, if anyone dared to disobey, Chu Xuan would directly eliminate them with a single slap.
Su Changqing smiled and nodded.
Do whatever you want?
Really?
Hehe, what about my dear Senior Sister?
Of course, he didn't dare to voice these thoughts, fearing he'd be beaten to death.
Soon, the spirit boat entered the airspace above Feiyun City.
Countless Martial Artists looked up, their eyes filled with deep envy.
Everyone knew this was the City Lord's spirit boat.
"We've arrived."
The two disembarked from the spirit boat upon reaching the City Lord's Mansion.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
As soon as they stepped down, countless Martial Artists respectfully saluted Chu Xuan and Su Changqing.
Leading them was a woman in a red, capable martial uniform.
"Bingmeng, no need to be polite, everyone rise."
Chu Xuan waved her hand calmly.
The leading woman, named Zhou Bingmeng, was Chu Xuan's personal guard captain, with Tiangang Realm cultivation. She was personally trained by Chu Xuan and was not weak in strength.
"Yes!"
Zhou Bingmeng stood up, then her gaze fell upon Su Changqing, who was behind Chu Xuan.
The man before her was incredibly handsome.
And his temperament was too charming.
With an elegant demeanor, standing behind Chu Xuan, he was as serene and calm as a banished immortal.
Moreover, Zhou Bingmeng remembered that this was the first time the City Lord had brought a man into the City Lord's Mansion.
"This is my Little Junior Brother, Su Changqing. From now on, you must show him the same respect as you show me."
Chu Xuan said coldly.
In front of outsiders, she was noble and cold, unapproachable.
Only in front of Su Changqing, Gu Xiran, and the Great Senior Sister could she sometimes act like a young girl.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed deep shock, and they quickly affirmed.
This handsome man was Chu Xuan's Junior Brother?
Not only was he also a Tai Xuan Sect Disciple, but he was also a True Disciple.
Hiss!
His status and position were not simple!
After introducing Su Changqing to everyone, Chu Xuan turned to look at Su Changqing, a gentle smile appearing on her face:
"Little Junior Brother, come with me. I'll show you around the City Lord's Mansion and arrange your lodging."
"Alright."
Su Changqing followed with a chuckle.
Zhou Bingmeng and the others watched this scene, their faces filled with shock.
Hiss.
Was this still the decisive, extremely cold City Lord?
The smile Chu Xuan displayed was more than she had shown in the past year combined.
Everyone's awe of Su Changqing deepened even further.
Chu Xuan's City Lord's Mansion was very large, but somewhat empty, as she had no Family and was alone.
However, now that Su Changqing had arrived, the City Lord's Mansion would be a bit livelier.
Chu Xuan arranged his room right next to hers.
Firstly, it would be convenient to avoid any danger to Su Changqing, allowing her to protect him at any time.
Secondly, Chu Xuan had a good impression of this Little Junior Brother.
After all, the affection between the Little Junior Brother and Revered Master was obvious to all. Which Senior Sister wouldn't love such a pure and filial Little Junior Brother?
Therefore, living closer would also facilitate communication between them.
Su Changqing was very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Reporting to the City Lord, today is Feiyun City's triennial Prodigy Grand Competition. The three major Families have sent invitations inviting you to attend as a spectator. This is the invitation."
After Chu Xuan had arranged Su Changqing's lodging, Zhou Bingmeng walked over, respectfully handing an invitation and speaking.
Chu Xuan took the invitation, a faint smile appearing on her face.
This Prodigy Grand Competition was Feiyun City's triennial grand event. Besides the three major Families within the city, there were also various other large and small Families, forces, and many Loose Cultivators.
If one could squeeze into the top ten, they would not only become famous in Feiyun City but also receive considerable rewards.
This attracted many Martial Artists.
For young Martial Artists, who has no desire for fame and fortune?
Absolutely impossible.
Therefore, this Prodigy event was extremely grand.
Chu Xuan had not participated before; with her cultivation, she naturally looked down on the so-called Prodigy Martial Artists of Feiyun City, considering them mere trifles.
However, today, with Su Changqing's arrival, she wanted to take him to see it.
"Junior Brother, are you interested? If you are, your Senior Sister will take you to have some fun."
Chu Xuan said with a smile.
Zhou Bingmeng, standing nearby, though her face was calm, was inwardly extremely shocked.
She hadn't expected Su Changqing's status to be so important in Chu Xuan's heart.
Even for such matters, she cared about Su Changqing's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Su Changqing also showed some interest.
"Alright, I'll just watch the excitement."
"Good, then let's go together to see it."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, then led Su Changqing towards the direction of the Grand Competition in the city.
...
"Clan Chief Zhao, I heard that your Zhao Family has produced an extraordinary Genius this year."
"Yes, yes, breaking through to the Wheel Sea Realm at such a young age is not simple."
"Not at all..."
...
At the Grand Competition site, the Clan Chiefs of several major Families were exchanging words with smiles.
Each of them, though smiling, was secretly calculating in their hearts.
After all, this Prodigy Grand Competition also concerned the face of each Family.
Below the stage, the young Martial Artists of Feiyun City were all eagerly preparing, their faces filled with excitement.
For them, today was a great opportunity to make a name for themselves.
"Young Revered Master Zhao, I've inquired. This Prodigy Grand Competition, besides Bai Ruochu of the Bai Family and Wu Sanlei of the Wu Family, who are both at Peak of the Mortal Shedding Realm strength, there are also seven others at Mortal Shedding Realm Late Stage..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai showed a satisfied smile.
Not long ago, he took a Medicinal Pill and successfully broke through to the Wheel Sea Realm, greatly increasing his strength.
"It seems this Prodigy Grand Competition is destined to be my chance to make a name for myself."
"At that time, Ruochu will definitely be shocked by my performance."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it would be even better if the City Lord could come to observe. If I could gain her favor, wouldn't I take off?!"
