Chapter 134 Don't Tell Me You Want to Steal My Disciple?
"How about it? The position of Deputy City Lord is the most significant one I can offer... If it weren't for the fact that the position of City Lord requires an appointment from the Hall of Heroes, I would want to give you the position of City Lord directly," Fang Chang said with eager anticipation on his face.
Hearing Fang Chang's words, not to mention Mo Xiao, even Jiang Shan and Su Jin'er beside him looked bewildered.
"Fang Chang, what are you up to? There are only two Deputy City Lord positions in total, how can you easily give it to Mo Xiao?" Jiang Shan asked in suspicion. "Are you joking?"
"I would never joke about something like this; I'm serious," Fang Chang said very seriously. "So, Mo Xiao, what do you say? If you agree, the position of Deputy City Lord is yours!"
Mo Xiao frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "What are the benefits of being Deputy City Lord?"
"There aren't many benefits, it's just more convenient in this city, and it will force you to stay in this city. In the future, if there are any issues in the Yicheng Base City, you'll have to come back and help."
Upon hearing this, Su Jin'er said directly, "If you want this position, you can have it. It won't have a significant impact on your future, but the benefits won't be too great either. If I have to be honest, the troubles might outweigh the benefits a bit."
Hearing this, Fang Chang quickly added, "You shouldn't put it that way... Well, Miss Su is right; it's more trouble than benefit, but as long as you become the Deputy City Lord, I won't trouble you with anything in the future. You can still enjoy the benefits, right?"
Hearing Fang Chang's words, Mo Xiao fell silent for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If I become the Deputy City Lord, will I be a member of the City Lord's Residence?"
"If I join, does that mean I can't join other forces?"
"You don't have to worry about that. The position of City Lord is rather special, especially the position of Deputy City Lord. It won't affect your joining other forces later on. If you're just in name, it won't matter all the more," Su Jin'er replied directly.
"It's fine if it's in name! As long as you want the position of Deputy City Lord, even if it's in name, you will still enjoy the benefits that a Deputy City Lord should have!" Fang Chang quickly said.
Listening to Fang Chang's words, Mo Xiao understood his intentions in an instant.
With his current strength and the way Yan Zhantian treated him, Mo Xiao was likely to become a disciple of a War God.
Whether it was becoming Yan Zhantian's disciple or the Archmage's disciple, both were big deals!
In a small place like Yicheng Base City, having such big figures supporting him would ensure that no one would dare to mess with him in the future.
Seeing Fang Chang's eager attitude, Mo Xiao didn't immediately agree. After some thought, he said, "I'll consider it for a while and give you an answer in a few days."
"Alright, take your time to think about it," Fang Chang said, not pressing further.
Mo Xiao said, looking around, "I suppose there's nothing else for me here? If there's nothing else, I'll head home."
"You can go back first. There's nothing for you to do for the time being." Fang Chang thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Mo Xiao didn't say anything more and turned to leave the city gate, heading towards the city. Su Jin'er quickly followed him, leaving the East City Gate together. n/-o-.V))E/(L)/B/-1(-n
Watching the two depart, Jiang Shan looked at Fang Chang with some confusion and asked, "Old Fang, you don't really want Mo Xiao to become Deputy City Lord, do you?"
"Why not?" Fang Chang glanced at Jiang Shan. "He will be a disciple of a War God in the future. With that title, how many troubles can he save us from?"
"Although that's true, but..." Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment, ultimately not expressing his thoughts.
"Alright, there's no need for 'buts.' Besides, it's not something I can decide. Whether he wants to be Deputy City Lord or not is his choice," Fang Chang shrugged. "Let's go back and minimize the losses from this situation."
"Yes."
...
Meanwhile, on a street inside the city.
"Junior brother, you seemed quite eager to become City Lord just now. Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Su Jin'er asked curiously. "I even told you about the method of becoming a nominal City Lord."
Mo Xiao glanced at Su Jin'er, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, I didn't think much about it. I just find it troublesome, and I'm not too fond of these kinds of things."
"Being Deputy City Lord means power and benefits Aren't you interested in this?" Su Jin'er teased when she heard this.
"I'm a lone wolf by nature. I prefer to be on my own. Sometimes, affiliations and such are burdensome for me," Mo Xiao replied honestly. "Instead of thinking about these things, I'd rather focus on leveling up and hunting monsters."
Su Jin'er heard Mo Xiao's words and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Your thoughts seem quite similar to mine. I also feel that way—just focus on leveling up and becoming strong. Affiliations and factions don't matter to me at all."
"I'll head home for now. I'm curious about what might be in these boxes," Mo Xiao said.
...
At the same time, on a small hill outside Yicheng Base City.
Yan Zhantian sat quietly on the peak, looking at the illusionary screen in front of him, seemingly waiting for something.
After a while, the illusionary panel in front of him suddenly projected a light.
The next moment, a graceful and charming woman slowly appeared in front of Yan Zhantian.
"Yan Zhantian?" After seeing Yan Zhantian, the woman's expression was clearly a little surprised."You, of all people, thought of reaching out to me suddenly? Are you trying to end your vacation early and cover my shift?"
Hearing this, Yan Zhantian raised his eyebrows slightly. "Well, that's not out of the question."
"Huh? Did you say that? That doesn't sound like something a lazy person like you would say." The woman's face was filled with disbelief. "Do you have something to ask of me?"
"Ah, hahaha, you saw right through me." Yan Zhantian scratched his head awkwardly.
"Don't even think about it! I'm telling you, I'll never give you my Fire Dragon Crystal!" The woman refused without hesitation.
Yan Zhantian was slightly stunned and quickly said, "No, I don't want your Fire Dragon Crystal."
"Then what do you want? What could make you call me personally?" The woman looked at Yan Zhantian in confusion, unable to think of anything that could make Yan Zhantian so concerned.
Yan Zhantian thought for a moment and said, "Did that girl named Su not tell you anything?"
"Jin'er? Oh... you mean the disciple she introduced to me?" The woman recalled. "Yes, you seem to be in the vicinity of Yicheng Base City..."
Thinking about it, the woman suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "You wouldn't want to steal my disciple, would you?"
