Three days later.
Evening.
Carefree City County Office was brightly lit, with guests entering one after another.
These people were all well-known wealthy gentry and celebrities in Carefree City, as well as so leaders of the Jianghu forces.
Among them were Hall Masters Xiong Chumo, Chen Xi, and others from the Red Flower Society.
Afterwards.
The Clan Leaders of the Three Great Families also made their appearances in succession.
They were Shen Family’s Shen Congwen.
Pei Family’s Pei Yuanlang.
Du Family’s Du Nanqiu.
All three of them had Cultivation Levels at the Great Ascension Latter Stage, making their strength formidable.
Even the servants beside them had Cultivation Levels at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, illustrating the profound and terrifying heritage of these Three Great Families.
However.
All the invited guests had appeared, but there was no sign of Xu Wendong.
This naturally made people feel dissatisfied.
Pei Yuanlang sat in the Taishi Chair, his voice tinged with dissatisfaction: "Prefecture Chief Liu, Lord Xu invited us for dinner, so why is there still no sign of Lord Xu?"
Liu Zhengtong wore a flattering smile: "Chief Pei, please be patient, Lord Xu will be here soon."
Though he was the Prefecture Chief of Carefree City, second to one and above ten thousand others, on regular days he was very humble and modest.
Undeniably, he was very clever.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived till today.
Ti slowly passed.
Although Liu Zhengtong said Xu Wendong would soon arrive, an entire two hours passed without Xu Wendong showing up.
This made many people irritable and unable to bear it any longer.
Even the Clan Leaders of the Three Great Clans were the sa.
Their attendance was undoubtedly a gesture of respect towards Xu Wendong.
But who could have imagined.
This person would be so high-handed, clearly not regarding them!
"It seems Lord Xu is busy with official duties, in that case, I will take my leave." Pei Yuanlang snorted heavily, standing up in anger intending to leave.
"Chief Pei, please wait!"
Without any warning.
A loud voice echoed.
Everyone looked towards the direction where the voice ca from.
In the distance, a figure gradually approached.
He wore a white brocade robe, the hem fluttering, appearing like an Immortal walking on moonlight.
He appeared handso and dashing, with a majestic deanor.
His face was righteous, with delicate facial features, and his eyes reflected determination and depth.
The corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a touch of roguishness.
The white brocade robe accentuated his robust physique, the jade belt around his waist tightened, making him appear slender and valiant.
His long hair swayed with the wind, like the brightest star in the night sky, catching everyone’s attention.
His steps were light, yet each one appeared especially firm and forceful, and his silhouette extended a long shadow under the moonlight, seemingly blending with the night.
The first impression everyone had of him was extraordinarily handso.
Steady as a mountain.
Giving an unfathomable feeling.
"My apologies for being late, I ask for your great forgiveness!" Xu Wendong expressed in a loud and magnetic voice.
Pei Yuanlang snorted coldly: "Lord Xu spoke about hosting a banquet for the powerful clans and esteed gentry of Carefree City, but why such a delay?"
"Isn’t it unfair to not regard everyone here?"
Pei Yuanlang, as the Clan Leader of one of the Three Great Clans, instantly incited the agreent of many with his words.
Many eyes looked at Xu Wendong with cold and disdainful expressions.
"Lord Xu, I am curious what occupied you for over two hours earlier?" Du Nanqiu’s voice also echoed.
He questioned Xu Wendong’s earlier activities openly, clearly intending to embarrass Xu Wendong publicly, while asserting his own status.
After all, he was rely a commoner.
Shen Congwen also voiced: "Lord Xu beca Carefree City Magistrate at such a young age, truly an impressive future."
"However, one should not be arrogant!"
"Isn’t it the nature of youth to be spirited?" Xu Wendong wore a faint smile, quietly observing their arrogant yet indifferent expressions.
In the next mont.
With a thought.
The Carefree City Prefecture Seal astonishingly floated above his head, radiating an earthen yellow light.
At the sa ti.
An overwhelming, powerful aura spread from him.
Like the majesty of the heavens, making everyone’s scalp go numb and feel a chill down their spine.
Every face turned pale, with a great wave rising in their hearts.
Even Liu Zhengtong, Chu Ye, and other Yan Runners were all trembling from the cold.
They never dread.
That Xu Wendong, in just three days, had managed to refine the County Seal.
One must know, past Carefree City Magistrates all attempted to refine this artifact, yet none succeeded.
They all gave up right after the initial attempt to bond with it.
Xiong Chumo and Chen Xi’s beautiful eyes were also filled with intense shock, never expecting that Xu Wendong had refined the Carefree City Prefecture Seal.
After their initial shock, both felt imnse joy in their hearts.
The stronger Xu Wendong beca, the more they favored him.
"Chief Pei, as a re commoner, you publicly questioned why I was late for so long, are you trying to defy the Imperial Court’s authority?"
Xu Wendong’s voice echoed once more, but this ti filled with a chilling tone.
"The commoner does not dare!" Pei Yuanlang was so frightened that cold sweat began to flow, his eyes filled with utter terror.
Initially, they indeed did not regard Xu Wendong.
But now they realized.
Why after Xu Wendong’s stunning performance at the Monarch’s birthday banquet, the Monarch arranged for him to Carefree City.
This man’s ability exceeded all their imaginations.
They understood.
Carefree City was perhaps about to change!
No need to ntion others, Xu Wendong alone refining the Carefree City Prefecture Seal made him an invincible presence in this city.
"Does anyone else have an opinion of ?" Xu Wendong scanned around.
Wherever his gaze landed.
Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to et his eyes.
"Please be seated!" Xu Wendong said softly, then sat down in front of the foremost table.
This was a separate table, with exquisite dishes and drinks laid out on top.
Xu Wendong: "Let speak about the purpose of my coming to Carefree City!"
Everyone couldn’t help but perk up their ears.
Filled with curiosity.
Xu Wendong: "Three matters!"
"To create wealth!"
"To create wealth!"
"It is still about creating wealth!"
His voice was loud and forceful, leaving no doubt about his abilities.
However.
Carefree City’s geographical location was unique, to lead the people to prosperity would not be easy.
At least, they couldn’t conceive exactly how.
Xu Wendong continued: "It is unrealistic to expect that Xu alone could lead the people of Carefree City to prosperity."
"Therefore, I need everyone’s strong support."
At this point, he looked at the leaders of the Jianghu forces, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "I heard Carefree City has more than thirty big and small factions, are you willing to contribute to the rise of Carefree City?"
