Chapter 541 The Past Comes Again

Diyi Jinglun did not comment on Li Fan's pledge of allegiance.

"You go ahead and prepare for the inauguration ceremony. Don't make any mistakes." He said lightly, still concentrating on the information on the documents.

Li Fan then bowed and said goodbye.

Returning to his temporary residence, he called Gao Yuan over.

"Lord City Lord, do you have something to ask me?" Gao Yuan said with a flattering face, nodding and bowing.

"The reward from the Immortal Alliance Headquarters has come down, and I will serve as the [Secret Envoy] of the Governor's Hall. From now on, you must change your words and don't call me by the wrong name anymore." Li Fan said in a calm tone, just like Diyi Jinglun.

Gao Yuan was stunned at first, but before he could say anything, Li Fan continued, "The Immortal City is being rebuilt, and there is a lot of work to be done. Hongxi and Ziyun, the two immortals, are still away due to some matters. I will temporarily take charge of all the government affairs of Cong Yunhai."

At this moment, Gao Yuan finally came back to his senses.

There was ecstasy in his eyes that he could not hide, and he said repeatedly, "Congratulations to the Secret Envoy! Your ability has been witnessed by everyone in the past six months. In the absence of Hongxi Island Master and others, it is also a blessing for all the cultivators in Cong Yunhai to have you take charge of government affairs!"

"Your Excellency may not know that in the past six months, all the cultivators I met have praised your methods and believed in them."

...

Li Fan sneered.

Although he knew that Gao Yuan was flattering him, who doesn't like to hear good words?

Li Fan waved his hand and interrupted Gao Yuan's endless flattery. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and flew over gently.

"This is a list of monks ranked roughly by contribution during the reconstruction of Congyun City."

"For the reconstruction of the new city, I have one-third of the vacant positions in the city. In addition to the monks who surrendered on that day, there are still many vacancies. Take a look at who else is available." Li Fan asked with his hands behind his back.

Gao Yuan took the paper with densely written names on it. Although the paper was as thin as a cicada's wing, it seemed as heavy as a mountain in his hand.

His hands kept shaking, and even his breathing became rapid.

Why did he, Gao Yuan, pledge allegiance to Li Fan? Wasn't it just for this day?

Deciding with a word and changing the fate of others, this is the taste of power.

Knowing that this was Li Fan's final test for him, Gao Yuan took a deep breath and calmed down.

His eyes swept over the list, and soon he had a plan in his mind.

"Among these cultivators, I recommend Fang Weihou first. Although he is only a Jindan cultivator, he works diligently and thoughtfully. In the past six months, all the tasks assigned to him have been completed ahead of schedule. More importantly, he has no background and has been practicing on his own all these years."

"And this cultivator named Jia Jun, his ability is also very outstanding..."

Gao Yuan talked freely.

He has not been idle in the past six months.

Although he seems to be wandering around doing nothing every day, in fact, his eyes have seen almost every move of every cultivator.

Based on Gao Yuan's evaluation of these cultivators, Li Fan's Dao Stone in his mind quickly replayed the scenes monitored and recorded in the past six months.

After comparing them one by one, he nodded slowly.

He is worthy of being a person who has been standing guard at the door of the Buzheng Hall for half his life.

Gao Yuan's ability to identify people is indeed extraordinary.

Even Li Fan feels that he may not be able to do better.

"Very good." So he praised it rarely.

"I know what's going on." Li Fan pointed lightly, and dozens of names were circled on the paper in Gao Yuan's hand.

"You should also greet these people in advance and let them be mentally prepared. There must be no mistakes at the opening ceremony tomorrow." Li Fan ordered.

Gao Yuan looked solemn, bowed and accepted the order, and retreated.

The next day.

Congyun Immortal City hangs high in the sky. From a distance, you can see the light of the protective formation that has been activated flashing around it from time to time.

Almost all the cultivators in the entire Congyun Sea gathered here.

Looking up at the new city below, talking to each other, feeling a lot of emotion.

In this spotlight, Li Fan stepped on the God Transformation Puppet and appeared again.

"Welcome to the Island Master!"

Suddenly, many of the cultivators below shouted in unison.

Li Fan smiled and waved his hand: "Today, the reconstruction of Congyun Immortal City is officially completed, and my position as the acting island master has come to an end."

"Fellow Daoists, please do not call me that anymore in the future."

He looked up at Congyun City in the sky and sighed: "It is not easy for you to work together to rebuild this city within half a year. I am also honored!"

"Fellow Daoists, please accept my greetings!"

After saying that, Li Fan actually bowed to the monks present.

The monks in Congyunhai suddenly made a commotion.

Some monks showed panic and hurriedly returned the greetings.

Some accepted it calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

Of course, more of them were just watching the show. They did not care much about Li Fan's show.

And when Li Fan stood up and was about to speak again.

Suddenly, a ray of light came from the distant sky.

"Ten Thousand Immortals Island Acting Master, Li Fan, listen to your orders!"

A thin monk, wearing the uniform of the Immortal Alliance, holding a yellow edict, said with a serious face.

The voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, clearly reaching the ears of all the monks present.

Instantly, there was silence around the Immortal City.

"Here I come!" Li Fan flew forward slowly and bent slightly.

"Li Fan, the acting island master of Congyun Island, has worked hard day and night and has made great contributions to the construction of Congyun City."

...

It was exactly the same as what I saw at the First Jinglun Office yesterday.

But this time, after the representative of the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance officially announced it, the edict turned into a golden light and flew towards Li Fan.

When it was about to touch him, the golden light turned into a rather slim black Taoist robe and automatically put it on his body.

On the Taoist robe, many mysterious patterns were drawn with golden lines.

A noble aura suddenly came to his face.

"Congratulations to the secret envoy!"

When Li Fan put on this outfit, a group of cultivators in the crowd suddenly seemed to have discussed it long ago.

They shouted in unison.

Many cultivators who reacted quickly had already understood that this matter was probably the same as when Li Fan was the acting island master before, and it had already been decided.

Only this group of people were still kept in the dark.

Those monks who had been indifferent to Li Fan's salute before all showed regret on their faces.

In order to make amends, they also shouted after the crowd was quiet for a while.

"Congratulations to the Secret Envoy!"

After the second shout, it still did not stop.

So, those who were still silent and kept their mouths shut were forced to join the shouting team.

The shouts of "Congratulations to the Secret Envoy" were also endless, spreading all over Cong Yunhai.
