Zhao Xing also laughed:
"Of course, judging by Mr. Zong’s abilities, becoming a Sixth-Rank Official is entirely feasible."
"With so training, even a fifth-rank position wouldn’t be out of reach."
"However, there’s no opportunity in Nanyang County, would you be willing to leave your ho to serve in a foreign land?"
"If you wish, I can recomnd you elsewhere, starting as a temporary Sixth-Rank Official, whether you can be promoted and how long it takes depends on your ability."
Zong Shichang was taken aback: "You, you an it?"
Upon receiving Zhao Xing’s affirmative response, Zong Shichang found himself a bit conflicted.
He pondered for a while and eventually declined.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your kindness."
Zong Shichang rubbed his face and said, "How should I put it, I don’t have such ambitions, I just want to have a peaceful life with Qing’er. If I can bring so welfare to the people on top of that, I’d be satisfied."
"You understand what I an, right?"
Zhao Xing patted Zong Shichang’s shoulder: "I understand, not everyone wants to be a high official. So people just want to live their lives happily. Eagles have the aspirations of eagles, and others have their ways of living. Everyone has different pursuits, there’s no need to force it."
"Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I an." Zong Shichang nodded vigorously, then suddenly paused, "Wait, I suspect you’re saying I’m unambitious, a pig content with living lazily and idly."
"Have no doubt."
"Damn, you scoundrel, take this punch of mine!"
"Hahaha, rember to give ten taels of money!"
"Hahaha, put it on the tab first, let punch eighteen tis!"
...
Yunbei Lake, this is the largest lake in East Chang Prefecture and also the largest inland lake in Pinghai State.
It is located in the eastern part of Pinghai State, and after the chaos in Pinghai State, this lake beca even larger than before.
"Splash~"
In a certain part of the lake, the water suddenly bulged as if sothing massive lurked beneath.
"Gurgle~"
A giant bubble surfaced.
When it expanded to a twenty-ter radius, it suddenly burst.
"Cough cough~ cough cough~"
A figure appeared above the lake water, it was none other than Ji Chen, who had fled from the East Sea.
When the rebel forces of the East Sea were in disarray, Ji Chen didn’t flee deeper into the East Sea with Hong Yuanshou, but instead went ashore, utilizing the Bishui Daoist Academy’s authority, arriving at Yunbei Lake in East Chang Prefecture.
He managed to escape in ti, at this point the transmission path under the control of Prince Liang was still effective.
Ji Chen wanted to take the path to Southern Desolate, because when his father was besieged, he instructed him to flee that way, saying it was the only way to survive.
"Cough cough~ cough cough~" Ji Chen coughed violently, now in the Third Grade Realm, he truly felt unwell.
He was severely injured, with a Golden Sword embedded in his shoulder, it was this sword that made recovery impossible for him.
"Ah ah ah——" Ji Chen attempted to pull out the Golden Sword, but just when he managed to draw it out half a foot, the sword emitted a strong Sword Intent, wantonly wreaking havoc on his body.
At the sa ti, this Divine Sword continued to grow.
As long as he used any Primordial Energy, the sword would keep growing!
Hiss hiss hiss~
The hand gripping the sword hilt started to smoke, leaving him no choice but to give up on pulling it out.
"Damn you Long Xiao, damn it!!"
Ji Chen growled lowly.
Originally, his escape was exceedingly smooth, everything remained unbeknownst to others.
But he never expected, a Sword Cultivator nad Long Xiao actually found him!
More than that, it’s as if Long Xiao was specifically waiting for him, just when he was about to complete the teleportation, the opponent ambushed him!
Ji Chen managed to dodge six swords, but a single sword pierced through his body.
"How did he know where I was escaping to, not even Hong Yuanshou knew my escape route, I still had absolute Heavenly Secret Concealnt on ..."
Ji Chen couldn’t comprehend how he got targeted.
Could it be what Father said about absolute concealing was false?
He had no choice but to stop and heal while contemplating his escape route.
But just fifteen minutes later.
A bubble appeared three kiloters behind him on the lake surface, a man carrying a large sword erged above the lake.
Sword Qi swirled around the figure, like a Heavenly God.
At the sa ti, the Golden Sword embedded in Ji Chen trembled violently.
"What?!"
"It’s Long Xiao, he’s caught up again!"
Ji Chen imdiately understood the identity of the newcor.
At this mont, through the sensing of the Seven Stars Divine Sword, Long Xiao also located the position of the Heavenly Authority Sword.
The Seven Stars Divine Sword was originally a precious sword granted to Bai Mingchuan by Emperor Jing.
Admittedly, Emperor Jing had a taste for mischief, part of the materials of the Divine Sword was the sa as the Heaven and Earth Fish Hook.
It equally had the [Seven Stars Positioning] function.
The Bai Family belonged to the Water Clan, receiving this Eighth Rank Top Quality set of Seven Stars Divine Sword from the emperor, Bai Mingchuan was still extrely grateful.
But he wasn’t a Sword Cultivator, so he gave it to Long Xiao to use.
"Found you!"
Upon seeing Ji Chen, Long Xiao’s eyes blazed with fury.
"You beast, return the Marquis’ life!"
Ji Chen stopped running as well, he knew unless he dealt with Long Xiao, no matter how he ran, he would keep being discovered.
He imdiately pasted Divine Talismans to his chest and back, suppressing the effect of the Seven Stars Divine Sword.
"Long Xiao, don’t you want to know Yang An’s last words?"
Ji Chen patched symbols while eyeing Long Xiao rapidly approaching, seeking to buy ti for recovery: "I was also present on the battlefield and witnessed his death with my own eyes."
Long Xiao indeed paused.
But the next mont.
The six Divine Swords behind him swiftly unsheathed, like swimming dragons flying toward Ji Chen.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
A myriad of sword shadows ford a Sword Array, encircling Ji Chen completely.
At this mont, Long Xiao, having undergone over ten years of tempering, was no longer a Valiant Captain easily incited to anger.
