Chapter 2456 Supervision

A shadow suddenly appeared, almost overlapping with Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu took a few steps back and said calmly, "City Lord, I've taken care of everything here, no killing."

"I know, Mu Wei has been here, you did a good job."

The city lord looked indifferent and said with a half-smile, "Zhou Shu, I'm here to ask you what your plans are."

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "What plans can this junior have? Only the city lord can tell you."

The city lord nodded slightly, approvingly, "You understand the situation very well. So, deputy city lord or supervisor, which one do you want to choose?"

Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "What does the city lord think?"

This was what he had expected.

After resolving the dispute between Linglong Pavilion and Bai Yujing, he must also make it clear that the two will not help each other. If he still sides with Bai Yujing, Linglong Pavilion will never give up. Then the two families cannot be balanced, but how to express their stance? Can it make both parties feel okay?

Obviously, working as an errand for the city lord is the simplest and clearest.

Standing on the side of the city lord is basically equivalent to absolute neutrality. No matter Linglong Pavilion or White Jade Kyoto has nothing to say.

The city lord looked at Zhou Shu, "Of course I am the deputy city lord. Under one person, above ten thousand people, I can command tens of thousands of golden immortals at will, help me manage Crescent City, and control the life and death of countless merchants. I want them to do what I want them to do." Anything is fine, and the benefits are too numerous to mention. As for supervision, there is no real power. Basically, there is nothing to do, and there is no salary to receive. By the way, it is simply useless."

"City Lord, please stop bragging."

Zhou Shu said unconsciously, "If the deputy city lord could command the Golden Immortal, not tens of thousands, but only a thousand, there would be no situation like today. As for controlling merchants, there is no way to talk about it. Bai Yujing Linglong Pavilion will listen to the deputy city lord. That’s just a thankless coolie, right? City Lord, I’ll choose supervision. I don’t want any salary at all, as long as the City Lord can give me some advice occasionally.”

The city lord sighed leisurely, "Oh, talents are so rare. It's hard to find one but still refuse to do it."

Zhou Shu only said, "Senior can definitely find it if he wants to, but junior can't."

The city lord had a stern look on his face, "Okay, you have to remember that since you have chosen to be a supervisor, the affairs between the various forces in the city will have nothing to do with you in the future. If you still violate the rules deliberately, you will definitely be punished. I will never be lenient."

Zhou Shu looked at Crescent City calmly, "What this junior wants most now is to practice quietly."

He has too much understanding that needs to be transformed into strength and cultivation. Whether it is Fu Dao, Ken Dao or others, Shu Zhidao is impatient. Over the years in Crescent City, he has swallowed up a lot like a sponge, but if he cannot transform and store , if it becomes your own thing, you may be squeezed out, which is equivalent to nothing.

"hope so."

The city lord looked at Zhou Shu meaningfully and threw a black sign over.

The words "Crescent City Supervision" were written on the sign. The material was very strange, and it felt extremely cold to the touch, but it had no magical power at all. Even after changing several kinds of law power, there was no movement. It was not like a magic weapon at all.

Zhou Shu's eyes flashed with confusion, "City Lord, what's the use of this? Apart from showing your identity?"

The city lord showed slight disdain, "It's just to protect your life."

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you City Lord."

Although he didn't understand it, the city lord was probably right when he said that. He looked left and right at the sign, trying to figure it out very intently.

The city lord frowned, "You don't need to think too much. You still can't understand it. I'm just telling you that at the critical moment, it's more useful than your big light-escape talisman. No matter in New Moon City, the void or other realms, I, New Moon, The city's supervisor can't just die casually, huh."

"knew."

Zhou Shu put away the sign and bowed sincerely, as if thinking, "Senior, do you also know about the Great Escape Talisman?"

"nonsense."

The city lord looked solemn, "Zhou Shu, use that thing less in the future. I can suppress it in Crescent City, but that may not be the case in other places. Don't always cause trouble... And Bei Cheng, you know that I don't like talismans." The Tao, especially the talisman Tao of those bald men, still needs to be studied, if not... forget it."

Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, "Junior, remember."

"Don't come to see me anymore. I'll get annoyed when I see you."

The city lord glared at him, and the shadow gradually scattered and disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Shu stood for a while, and there were roaring sounds behind him. He thought the Linglong treasure ship had returned, but he didn't know which one it belonged to? Zhou Shu did not look back. Now these things had nothing to do with him. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he quickly returned to the cave.

The first thing I did was to set up a formation to block the entrance of the cave. The words "retreat" were hung outside so that no one could see them.

Hanruo was a little surprised, "You want to retreat?"

Zhou Shu smiled faintly, "Yes, but it won't last long, maybe ten years, and then I will return to Wufang City."

Retreating in seclusion is a gesture to show that he and Bai Yujing are separated from each other. From now on, Zhou Shu will not be involved in any ups and downs between the two families in Crescent City, even if Bai Yujing suddenly disappears. care.

Practitioners must know how to let go. In addition, You Chongzhi is still a good friend, and this will not change.

"Ah, ah, really? Are you going back?"

Hanruo was very surprised. He looked at Zhou Shu with his eyes wide open and his lips moved slightly, as if he was begging for something.

Zhou Shu waved his hand without hesitation, "You can practice here. Don't leave until you reach the Golden Immortal. If you must leave, you can. I won't compete with you, but I won't take you there no matter what. I want to go go by yourself."

"I know, I didn't say I had to go."

Hanruo nodded, feeling aggrieved and pretending to be strong.

Zhou Shu said warmly, "I won't come out when I'm in seclusion, but Jian Lao and Xiao Zhao will stay with you. You are all familiar with each other. If you have nothing to do, I won't object to opening a small shop or something, Han Ruo, You can treat this place as your home now, don’t be too rigid, if nothing else happens, we will stay in Crescent City for a long time in the future.”

"Home...I know."

Hanruo nodded again, with a flash of light in his eyes. Suddenly he no longer felt aggrieved, but felt a little happy.

Zhou Shu smiled and released Jian Lao and Xiao Zhao.

The resources of the cave are enough for them to practice, and it is not a problem to always practice in the demon refining world. The demon refining pot itself requires a lot of immortal energy. It has already raised Xianru Xiaoshitou and others, and with a few more, the speed is really fast. It's a bit slow. Although I'm still a little wary of the Demon Refining Pot, I don't need to check and balance to this extent.

Hanruo hugged Xiaozhao and talked affectionately. Xiaozhao was also very excited. He was very affectionate to everyone he saw after being bored for a long time.

Jian Lao has a calm old man's demeanor, but he is also a bit happy.

After leaving Wufang City, there have been constant disputes. There have been few peaceful moments like Zhibaoxuan. Now it has recovered somewhat.

"I'm in seclusion."

Zhou Shu glanced at a few people and slowly walked into the quiet room.

He is ready. These ten years will be an important stage in Shu Zhidao's growth.
