Chapter 968 The Master Arrives
A few days later, Qin Tian received a message that all the owners of the artifact shops in Xuanding City had mysteriously disappeared.
"Killed by the Blood Clothes Building?"
When Qin Tian heard the news, he had such a guess. Most likely, the Blood Clothes Building knew that it could not afford to provoke him, so it killed the employer in order to protect its reputation.
In this regard, Qin Tian did not pity the owners of those artifact shops. They just brought it upon themselves.
As for the Blood Clothes Building, Qin Tian wanted to uproot their power in the second divine domain. Unfortunately, he did not know where the Blood Clothes Building's nest was.
But it was fine this way. As long as they did not come to provoke him, he did not have the energy to care about them now. When there was a chance in the future, he would deal with them properly.
City Lord's Mansion.
Zu Lei also heard the news and said thoughtfully: "This Ying Que is not simple. He made the owners of these artifact shops disappear without a sound. Even our people didn't find any clues."
Speaking of this, he looked at the housekeeper standing in front of him and asked: "Have you found out the route of Master Changning's tour? Will he pass through our Xuanding City?"
Zu Changning, one of the direct descendants of the Zu family, has a violent personality and is moody, but his cultivation and qualifications are both top-notch. It is said that he has already understood a law and can become a god at any time, but he plans to understand another law and become a double god.
Although Zu Changning has a violent personality and is moody, he likes to promote others. Anyone who is more pleasing to him will not hesitate to promote him. Therefore, many people in the side branches want to curry favor with him and follow his path.
This time, he got the news that Zu Changning had been in seclusion for many days and had the idea of touring. As soon as he heard the news, Zu Lei had an idea. If Zu Changning came to Xuanding City, he would definitely try his best to curry favor with him. Maybe after pleasing the other party, his position might be moved.
And Ying Que was one of the gifts he presented to Zu Changning.
He was just a small city lord. Even if he went to recruit him, Ying Que would probably dislike him for not being important enough. But if Master Changning went, it would be different. He was almost the future heir of the Zu family.
I believe that Ying Que would not dare to refuse.
The housekeeper showed an embarrassment and said, "My lord, Master Changning only brought two personal maids on this tour, and the place where he toured was also more casual. We can't control where he would go at all!"
"Where is he now?"
Zu Lei asked.
"Yesterday, Master Changning settled in Fengxia City, and then left early this morning!" said the housekeeper.
Hearing this, Zu Lei couldn't help but look thoughtful. After a while, he said, "You should immediately take the artifacts we bought from Ying Que to meet Master Changning and present them to him, saying that our Xuanding City has produced an amazing weapon refiner!"
"My lord, what do you mean..." The housekeeper showed some understanding.
"Yes!"
Zu Lei nodded: "As long as Master Changning is interested in Ying Que, he will naturally come to Xuanding City, then my chance will come. By the way, how are the things I asked you to arrange before?"
"My lord, don't worry. I have selected twelve upper gods with excellent temperaments, and I will definitely please Master Changning!" The housekeeper said confidently.
Zu Lei smiled with satisfaction: "I trust you to do things. Remember, no matter what, you must let Master Changning come to Xuanding City!"
"Yes, I will definitely not let you down!"
As soon as the voice fell, the housekeeper bowed and left the study.
Zu Lei decided to test Ying Que's attitude, so as to avoid offending Master Changning instead of currying favor with him.
Thinking of this, Zu Lei could no longer sit still, and took two followers to Qin Tian's artifact shop.
Soon, Zu Lei saw Qin Tian lying on a chair in the sun.
"Mr. Ying is really in a good mood!"
Zu Lei smiled and stepped forward and said.
Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes, and without getting up, he asked, "Who are you?"
"How dare you, this is the Lord of the City, and you don't even stand up to greet him!"
One of Zu Lei's followers shouted.
"Shut up!"
Zu Lei turned around and glared at him, then apologized to Qin Tian, "Mr. Ying, I don't know the rules, please don't blame me!"
"No problem!"
Qin Tian smiled and got up from the recliner: "I'm sorry for not welcoming you, Lord of the City, please come in!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
Zu Lei said with a smile.
As he was talking, Qin Tian led Zu Lei into the tea room in the shop and ordered someone to make two cups of tea.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Zu Lei suddenly said: "Mr. Ying's weapon refining ability has already lost to the two famous weapon refining masters Sima Chengde and Feng Xingtian. I wonder what Mr. Ying thinks of his future?"
"I haven't thought about it!" Qin Tian smiled.
Zu Lei said again: "As far as I know, it is extremely difficult for a weapon refiner to improve, especially for a weapon refiner like Mr. Ying. It is even more difficult to go one step further, because all kinds of top-level refining materials are too rare. If Mr. Ying wants to refine a half-step heavenly artifact in the future, I am afraid that we can't even collect all the materials in our Xuanding City!"
"What the city lord said makes sense!"
Qin Tian nodded.
"But now there is an opportunity to make Mr. Ying's weapon refining way go further. I wonder if Mr. Ying is interested in listening?"
"Oh, please tell me, Lord City Lord!"
Qin Tian seemed to be interested.
After a short silence, Zu Lei continued: "I am a branch of the Zu family. I believe Mr. Ying has already known that recently, the next head of my Zu family, Young Master Changning, is about to come to our Xuanding City. With the power of our Zu family, it is very easy to collect precious materials. If Mr. Ying can assist Young Master Changning, when he ascends to the position of head of the family, what kind of refining materials Mr. Ying wants, it will be easy to get!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian understood that Zu Lei was recruiting him for the Zu family.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he didn't take the entire second level of the divine domain seriously, so how could he go to Zu Changning.
So, he smiled and shook his head: "I appreciate the kindness of the city lord, but I am more adapted to my current life!"
Suddenly, Zu Lei's face sank, and he thought to himself, this Ying Que is too disrespectful, and he refused so readily.
But it is not appropriate to offend him for the time being, and wait until Young Master Changning arrives.
So, he forced a smile and said, "Since Mr. Ying doesn't like it, I won't force you. I'll take my leave first!"
"Go, Lord City Lord!"
Qin Tian stood up to see him off.
"Haha, this guy is really ridiculous!"
Seeing Zu Lei going away, Duanmu Rong came to Qin Tian and sneered, because there was no soundproofing in the tea room, and she heard what Qin Tian and Zu Lei said.
Two days later.
At the gate of Xuanding City, Zu Lei led the City Lord's Mansion and the leaders of the major forces in the city to stand at the gate to welcome the upcoming Zu Changning.
Yes, he had received the news from the housekeeper that Zu Changning would come to Xuanding City today.
Waiting for two hours.
A Shenzhou came across the sky, and a handsome young man in white clothes stood through it, his eyes were full of spirit, and there was a hint of arrogance at the corner of his mouth. (To be continued)
