Chapter 117: Personal Understanding is Not as Good as Guidance from a Master
This reward is indeed huge. The status of Shu citizen is not something that anyone can get if they want it. The most important thing is not just the four of them, but even the Pang family can become citizens because of their relationship.
The mansions within the second ring of the inner city of ancient Shu could not be bought with money, but could only be obtained through the reward from the chief judge. It was also a symbol of status.
One hundred thousand gold coins are not a lot, but it is also impossible to buy each person a top-grade spiritual treasure. It is better to choose the appropriate spiritual treasure yourself.
It was quite puzzling that the great wizard took Pei'er as his apprentice. Ian couldn't help but ask Makino for advice:
"Master, do you think there is anything wrong with Gu Shu's trip?"
"Silly child, do you still have any doubts based on the characteristics of the Shu King's true qi? This is the qi of the human king, also called the king's true qi. Only those recognized by Mother Earth can obtain it. Everyone has a selfish heart, but as the human king, he does not. If he does, it is for the sake of the Divine Grace Continent."
Ian could indeed feel the great love of the King of Shu. "Yes, I admire his broad mind. As the King of Shu, or even the King of Man, can't he solve the current problems within the ancient Shu Kingdom?"
Muye shook his head. "It's not that it can't be solved. He doesn't want to see the chaos in Ancient Shu and the people living in misery. This will also give foreign races an opportunity to take advantage of it. Don't be fooled by his laissez-faire attitude. In fact, any person in power will have an unknown force in the dark."
Ian agreed with this statement, otherwise the King of Shu would not have pretended to be poisoned for so many years.
"Master, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did the great wizard accept Pei'er as his apprentice?"
Muye smiled and said, "You are the one who is in control of the situation. There are already people with bad intentions in Ancient Shu. They are planning to overthrow the King of Shu, but you have come out halfway and disrupted their plans. Moreover, the King of Shu attaches so much importance to you that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Great Wizard wants to protect you. Tell these people not to plot against you!
Also, witchcraft and prophecy are fundamentally of the same lineage, and it is possible that the great wizard really saw Pearl's talent."
Ian suddenly understood, "It turns out that Gu Shu is our backer. I understand. Master, you can rest assured and cultivate yourself!"
It was the steward who brought them to a familiar place. The difference was that there were ten beautiful 16-year-old girls standing bent at the door, and the plaque above the door was still empty, probably because they did not have the ancient Shu title yet.
The fat man said: "Master General, it turns out that this mansion was given to us!"
The steward nodded and said, "My lord, I don't deserve this. My name is Fei Changsheng. From now on, this mansion belongs to you. These ten maids will be responsible for your food, daily life and courtyard management.
I have to go back to report, so I will leave now. Please do as you please."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Fei!"
Ten girls came forward and said in unison: "Welcome back, sir!"
The red-dressed girl in the middle stepped forward and said, "My lord, I am Xiaohong, the housekeeper of the mansion. If you have any needs, you can always ask Xiaohong!"
The active member Fatty suggested: "Okay, Xiaohong, take us to visit this mansion. We took a break last night and haven't seen the whole thing yet!"
The other maids were busy with their own things, and Xiaohong was in charge of guiding. This mansion was divided into many areas, such as the conference hall, reception room, main room, guest room, servants' room, rockery garden, etc. The training hall was arranged in the basement. There were independent rooms for personal use, and there was also an arena that could accommodate about twenty people at the same time. The guest rooms had five floors and could accommodate more than two hundred people.
"It's great. From now on, we will have a base too, haha."
Ian had never lived in such a big mansion, nor had anyone serve him. He almost lost himself in the cushy and easy life for two days.
Fortunately, on the third day, Xinghun came to them and said that the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to see them, which ended this kind of life.
On the third day, Pei'er came back, emitting an ethereal aura. Just as the saying goes, personal understanding is not as good as the guidance of a famous teacher. As the third person in the team, she also broke through to the fifth level!
The Duke of Zhenguo has recovered a lot, and he looks radiant and energetic.
Now that he knew Gu Shu's intention, there was no need for Ian to hide it and he cured his blood poison completely immediately.
The Duke of Zhenguo specially arranged a family dinner. Fortunately, there were no outsiders, so everyone was not embarrassed.
After three rounds of drinking, the Duke of Zhenguo put down his glass and said slowly: "I have already met the chief judge and the high priest, and I know everything. I will not say more, Xinghun..."
Xinghun stood up and said, "The child is here!"
"Tomorrow you and your four brothers will go to the demon fortress to join the army. Is that okay?"
Xinghun's eyes were excited, "No problem, I have been waiting for the day to go to the battlefield for a long time."
"Well, you have to remember that I will put you in the same military camp, starting as soldiers. Everything will be subject to Ian. Is there a problem?"
"Everything else is fine, but why should we base it on him?"
At this time, Ian said: "Master Nongquan, I'm interrupting you. It's like this. Xinghun is our friend, not a member of our team, so he doesn't need to listen to the arrangements of me as the captain. It is still unknown whether we will be able to meet in the future. No matter what, we will support each other, brother Xinghun, don't you agree?"
It's a good thing to have personality. As the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the number one among his peers, how can it be so easy for him to obey someone?
"Yeah, that's good! It was really fun to spar with Brother Pang a few days ago. Brother Ian is the captain, so I'm sure he's very capable. Why don't we take this opportunity to spar with him?"
Xinghun's eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight. The Duke of Zhenguo wanted to help his son become a member of the team, so he wanted to let Ian dampen his son's enthusiasm and prevent him from being too ambitious.
Although he didn't know Ian's fighting ability, he felt that his internal strength foundation was very solid, no less than his son's.
"Brother Ian, why don't you two learn from each other? It would be good to get to know each other better!"
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Several people came to the martial arts training ground. Since the Duke of Zhenguo had not yet recovered, the captain of the guard was specially arranged to be the referee.
In order to respect his opponent, Ian took out the Eternal Night Staff Gun that had not been used for a long time.
Ian and Xinghun were both full of fighting spirit and burst out with a strong momentum. They rushed towards each other at the same time, and their guns and swords collided with each other. "Bang", the two men separated instantly. Both of them used almost 50% of their strength, and on the surface they seemed to be evenly matched.
In this case, the two of them can fight boldly without worry, and the fighting between swords and guns is even more intense than the one with the fat man.
