In addition to accommodating the family of the City Lord, the Guard Army also resides in the City Lord’s Mansion on regular days.
Therefore, this City Lord’s Mansion is quite large, and the school ground for the training of the Guard Army is naturally very large as well, accommodating many people.
The forr City Lord of Yan City was called Xie Hong, who was also the forr Patriarch of the Xie family. The current Patriarch of the Xie family and the current City Lord of Yan City is Xie Hong’s wife, Liao Qingyuan.
In Xia Country, each city has a Guard Army, which is managed by the City Lord of each city.
The City Lord is traditionally selected by the leaders of the Ever Winning Army from the patriarchs of prominent families in each city.
Once selected, that family gains the right to manage the city but also bears the responsibility of safeguarding it.
Once the candidate for City Lord is decided, the next City Lord will also be chosen from within that family, and the new Patriarch of that family becos the new City Lord.
Therefore, the candidate for the family patriarch not only needs the support of the family but also requires the approval of at least three of the four leaders of the Ever Winning Army to take office.
If the family insists on choosing soone as patriarch who does not et the leaders’ approval, the Ever Winning Army will select a new City Lord from another family.
Additionally, if the City Lord errs, the leaders of the Ever Winning Army have the authority to depose the patriarch and City Lord, but such a decree also requires the agreent of at least three leaders.
Three years ago, during a battle with the Tongtian Sect, the forr Patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Hong, passed away.
After Xie Hong’s death, for a ti, the Yan City Guard Army lacked a leader. After discussions among the four leaders, they decided to appoint his wife, Liao Qingyuan, as the temporary City Lord.
Unexpectedly, Liao Qingyuan’s managent capabilities were in no way inferior to Xie Hong’s, resulting in her serving as City Lord for three years.
Currently, aside from so mbers of the Xie family who are not very agreeable to having an outsider woman as the head, Su Yunling and the others are quite satisfied with this City Lord.
Although Liao Qingyuan is an outsider, she is Xie Hong’s wife and thus part of the Xie family, so the City Lord’s Mansion of Yan City is still the Xie family’s residence.
And the recruitnt competition is held at the Xie family as well.
Su Yunling had so matters to attend to and would arrive later, so it was Tang Yichen who brought Gu Zhiqi to the City Lord’s Mansion.
When the two arrived at the Xie family, it was already close to nine o’clock. Since it was the first day of the competition and there was an opening ceremony, the main competition would not begin until ten, so it had not officially started yet.
As soon as the two entered the City Lord’s Mansion, soone ca up to engage Tang Yichen in conversation.
Seeing a group of people crowd around, Gu Zhiqi imdiately sidestepped to stand aside.
Tang Yichen noticed this and glanced at her, seeing Gu Zhiqi leaning against a nearby pillar with an expression of "You go ahead, I’ll wait here for you".
Thus, Tang Yichen planned to chat a bit with these people before finding a chance to escape, otherwise, if he left, this group would surely follow him.
The spot where Tang Yichen was surrounded was right not far from the entrance, so anyone entering could imdiately see him.
The Patriarch Yuk had just stepped through the gate when he saw Tang Yichen.
The Patriarch Yuk paused for a mont, then promptly composed himself, glancing at Yuk Hanxing, "That’s Tang Yichen, co, I’ll introduce you."
Upon hearing this, Yuk Hanxing’s eyes subtly shifted, and then he stepped forward to follow the Patriarch Yuk.
Yuk Weiyin, standing nearby, also imdiately followed along.
Tang Yichen, surrounded by people and unsure whose question to answer, suddenly saw soone push through the crowd to approach him.
"Fourth Master, long ti no see."
As the voice fell, there was a brief silence around them, after which people turned to look at the Patriarch Yuk.
Upon seeing the Patriarch Yuk, the crowd instinctively stepped back a few paces, then greeted him.
Tang Yichen, of course, recognized the Patriarch Yuk and gave a slight nod, politely replying, "Patriarch Yuk, long ti no see."
The Patriarch Yuk gestured at Yuk Hanxing, hinting for him to greet Tang Yichen.
However, Yuk Hanxing did not move. The Patriarch Yuk looked at him and discovered he was staring unwaveringly in a certain direction. Following his line of sight, the Patriarch Yuk saw an exceptionally beautiful girl.
The Patriarch Yuk’s brows furrowed slightly.
