Dragon City County, Ice State Capital.
Da Heitian Jialuo was recently a bit puzzled.
He found himself suddenly to be quite sought after.
In the short span of three days after the battle of Black Gold Mountain, he received over twenty invitations.
Not only from the Five First-grade Divine Sects except the Formless, the Five First-grade Demon Sects, Daning Royal Family, Divine Blade Sect, Extre East Ice City, and Penglai Eternal City, these most powerful forces of the ti, but also from many super-grade experts like Qin Fengxian and others.
They delivered the letters to him through various secretive ans.
The conditions offered were better and better.
On the fourth day, while having a drink at an inn in Yan’an City at a friend’s invitation, he even received a private letter from his forr master.
The words were surprisingly gentle, asking why he suddenly cut off contact and why he hadn’t visited the forr master for so long?
The forr master still thought highly of him, believing Jialuo still had the hope of stepping into the First Grade.
The forr master hoped Jialuo could return soon and not delay his cultivation.
Jialuo was at first overjoyed.
Has the forr master forgiven ?
The instinct accumulated over more than twenty years of serving the forr master made him want to imdiately leave Ice State to find his forr master.
However, just as Jialuo was about to get up from his chair, he suddenly paused and sat back down.
Jialuo looked thoughtfully at his official robes, pondering what identity he had now?
He is now the Mansion’s Treasury Officer under the Divine Might General!
Yes! In charge of silver, grain, accounts, marriages, land, miscellaneous duties, roads, etc.
This position was personally appointed by Chu Xisheng.
And Divine Might General Chu Xisheng is the North Territory Governor, with Chu Yunyun ruling all the North Territory’s states, all regard Divine Might General as lord.
Although Jialuo was once a great figure in the underworld, he was previously from a local prominent family.
Later he was involved in the sharing of spoils from sitting on stolen goods, had a knack for math, and very sensitive to finances.
Of course, he currently does not manage Northern Territory’s affairs but mainly oversees trade between Northern Territory’s states and the Iron Banner Gang, collecting various spiritual dicines and refining materials to sell to the south.
Yet in terms of official status, in the court he would be the Minister of Revenue!
As for his cultivation body—
Jialuo touched the scroll in his sleeve, given by the Lady Matriarch.
This was the subsequent cultivation technique deduced by Lady Matriarch Chu Yunyun for him, as well as so cultivation essentials of the ’Sky Covering Technique’.
She is the Dominating Martial King, the ’Through the ages, Green-eyed Military Governor’!
Her battle power reached the Near-God level over three years ago! While under the Poison Curse, she even wounded three Eternal Gods.
Her talent for comprehension is imnsely high, unparalleled through the ages.
Moreover, Lady Matriarch has already perfected the Sky Covering Technique to over twenty-three layers!
His old master seems unimpressive in comparison.
Uh~ the gap between them is enormously vast, like heaven and abyss.
Furthermore, Lady Matriarch designed a First Grade Sky Covering Secret Ceremony for him, and provided the conditions for completion—in a certain domain, cover the sky with one hand!
Now he monopolizes the southern spiritual dicine trade.
Other southern rchants who wish to acquire spiritual dicine can only get it through him.
In the future, once he ascends to the First Grade, with self-preservation capability, he will also train the You State Navy for the Lady Matriarch, covering a sea area.
He used to be a deputy commander of the Cangzhou Navy, later offended his superior, and was forced into outlawry.
Jialuo couldn’t help but frown, with a hint of sadness in his gaze looking out the window.
He finally sighed and tore the private letter from his old master into pieces.
"Those who abandon cannot retain the days of yesterday. Those who disturb my heart cause much worry today."
Jialuo scattered the torn paper out of the window, letting it drift away in the wind.
Opposite the inn, the newly opened bookstore by Tianji Pavilion was attracting a large crowd, filling the street.
The scattered paper fell on the heads of the crowd, instantly causing many complaints.
"Who is it? How can you litter like this? So uncivilized."
"Are you looking for death?"
"Which despicable person is this?"
Jialuo’s gaze turned icy cold as he looked down, his eyes revealing killing intent.
Who dares to speak to him like this? Do they wish to die?
But he then shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
He is now the Mansion’s Treasury Officer under the Divine Might General, a different identity from before.
As they say, establish oneself and career and virtue and conduct, he now has an identity and career, so he must uphold his virtues.
Moreover, now in Ice State, laws are strictly enforced, the General of Northern Town, during the campaign in Yan State, imposed high-pressure control over the entire North Territory’s states. He cannot cause trouble and offend the Lady Matriarch.
At this mont, opposite him, Jialuo’s friend, ranked thirty-ninth on the Earthly List, the ’Six-Ard Divine Mantis Blade’ Faxuan City, wore a grave expression.
In current tis, there are two powerful Martial Cultivators who have cultivated the Mantis Saber to the Earthly List level.
One is Xu Tiannan, the leader of the Water Sky Association ’Heavenly Mantis Divine Blade’, but he was killed by Chu Xisheng and his subordinates last year.
The other is ’Six-Ard Divine Mantis Blade’ Faxuan City.
He looked at the still fluttering scattered paper outside the window, astonished: "It seems, Jialuo, that you do not wish to return? So resolute?"
Faxuan City anticipated Jialuo might decline.
Yet didn’t expect the other party would tear the letter to pieces directly, leaving no room.
"What kind of person is Jialuo?"
Jialuo shook his head, looking displeased: "We Jianghu people value loyalty! The master treated well, how could I betray and then return, betray and then return again? This letter he sent is simply an insult to my character!"
