“I see…”
Qian Er squatted down and gently rubbed the shadow monster's head with his finger. The little guy still remembered Qian Er. Upon seeing him, it immediately let out a joyful cry and rushed up to hug Qian Er's finger.
“I’ll have to trouble Ms. Qiu to put in extra effort during this time.”
After picking up the shadow monster and teasing it for a moment, Qian Er looked at Ms. Qiu and said.
“Of course, this is my duty.”
Ms. Qiu nodded calmly.
After playing with the shadow monster for a while to foster their relationship, Qian Er left the cultivation room and went to see the cat-maid before returning to his room and falling asleep on the bed.
He slept until noon the next day before waking up.
“Young Master.”
After getting up and washing with the maid's help, and hanging a rare whale-like beast-extracted fragrance on his body, Qian Er pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
“Young Master.”
Outside the door, the butler had been waiting for a long time, respectfully saluting Qian Er while preparing to help him into the car.
“I say, my physical fitness is better than yours. You're making it seem like I'm about to die.”
Qian Er said helplessly, as soon as he returned, they started this.
“Young Master, this is etiquette! Etiquette cannot be abandoned!”
But the old butler had other ideas about this, and he said plausibly.
In his opinion, royalty has the etiquette of royalty. Only by distinguishing themselves from ordinary people can they arouse others' desire for power. Ambition is never a reason to hinder progress; contentment is.
If it were a few hundred years ago, he would have laid down to let Qian Er step on his back to get into the car, but this had long been abolished.
“Alright, alright, etiquette cannot be abandoned, etiquette cannot be abandoned.”
Qian Er was too lazy to argue with him and walked into the car with the old butler's help.
The car started and headed towards the City Lord's mansion.
He had returned too late yesterday, so he pushed everything to City Lord Zhang and went back to rest. He had to go and ask this morning.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the City Lord's mansion. The guards at the door saluted Qian Er upon seeing him and let him pass without reporting.
The butler waited outside and did not go in.
After entering the City Lord's mansion, Qian Er went straight to the conference room. City Lord Zhang should be there at this time.
The guards at the door immediately lowered their heads after seeing Qian Er and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty!" partly to salute Qian Er and partly to remind the people in the conference room that Qian Er had arrived.
“Okay, step aside.”
The two guards immediately turned around and opened the door for Qian Er.
At this time, the team of Beishi City Lord's mansion were all sitting inside. City Lord Zhang was sitting in the main seat, looking at him with a smile.
How could City Lord Zhang not be excited? After all, there was no one above him, and he felt empty no matter what he did. Now that there was someone above him, he could directly ask Qian Er to make decisions if he encountered something difficult to solve.
“Your Majesty, you've finally come. Please take a seat.”
As he spoke, City Lord Zhang quickly stood up and gave up the main seat.
“How is everything going?”
Qian Er was not polite and sat directly on the main seat while asking below.
“There are no major problems, but there is one thing that we don't know how to deal with, so we are waiting for you to come and make a decision.”
City Lord Zhang deftly pulled a document from the table.
“Oh? What is it?”
Qian Er became interested, sat up straight, and asked. This was the first time he had officially started handling Beishi's government affairs.
“The egg of the Void Sky Crane clan elder that you brought back is priced too high, causing no one in the city to be able to afford it.”
Qian Er nodded, which was expected.
“But a child from a Beast Master family who settled in our Beishi in the first batch happened to awaken a top-tier flying-type amplification talent. We are considering whether to invest that egg in that kid.”
City Lord Zhang said. Logically speaking, a top-tier flying-type amplification talent would not be enough for them to win over with a True King peak Void Sky Crane direct descendant, but the problem lay in the kid's identity. His parents were the pioneer group of Beast Masters who settled in Beishi in the first batch. Investing in him would have the effect of buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold.
After all, the population has always been Beishi's weakness. If they could take this opportunity to promote it and attract more people to settle down, it would be a good choice.
“Oh? I brought back this egg, so he came with a top-tier flying-type amplification?”
After looking at the young man's file in his hand, Qian Er raised his head and looked at City Lord Zhang.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have also considered this, so we thoroughly investigated through the empire's channels yesterday. He is indeed a human and can rule out the possibility of a foreign race spy. At the same time, we also ruled out the possibility of the remaining four families. He is an untapped genius who can be invested in.”
“In addition, their family settled in Beishi first, and Your Majesty only took action against the Void Sky Crane later, so there is no problem with cause and effect.”
As he spoke, City Lord Zhang placed the files in front of Qian Er, peeling back the young man's eighteen generations of ancestors.
Qian Er heard this, lowered his head, looked at the file in his hand. The young man's name was Zhang Fengye, and his parents were both flying-type Beast Masters, but their qualifications were only intermediate, one with intermediate flying-type range expansion and the other with intermediate group acceleration aura.
There was no problem with the previous generations. After carefully reading it, Qian Er put down the file in his hand.
“You can invest in him, but you can't invest in him for nothing. You let someone go and call him over now.”
City Lord Zhang had been prepared for this and immediately asked someone to notify Zhang Fengye to come over.
“Your Majesty, are we meeting him here?”
After finishing, City Lord Zhang asked cautiously.
“No, go to the main hall of your City Lord's mansion.”
After speaking, Qian Er stood up and turned to leave.
At this time, outside the City Lord's mansion, a young man wearing black pants and a red shirt was walking into the City Lord's mansion under the guidance of the guards.
“Big brother, is it really the King who wants to invest in me?”
The young man looked at the words "City Lord's Mansion" above and swallowed hard, his face a little uneasy.
Although his parents were both Beast Masters, and they were both Elite-level Beast Masters, finding a small city was considered a remarkable second-generation rich, but what he was facing now was the strongest Beast Master in mankind, the youngest King of Yan, and two of the twelve Victorious Races were indirectly defeated in his hands, a ruthless man who destroyed the four major families with his own strength.
According to rumors, the Town Heavenly King is over three meters tall, with a waist circumference of eight feet, and a blood basin mouth that can eat three children in one bite.
Of course, this was purely used by those adults to scare disobedient children, and he didn't believe it at all. After all, there was information about the Town Heavenly King on the Internet, but he had only seen Qian Er's information on the Internet, so he naturally felt flustered at this time.
After all, according to the Internet, that person's temper is not good.
“Of course, relax, don't be nervous, the King is very kind to his own people.”
The guard comforted him with a smile on his face. After all, this person was favored by the King, and he might soar into the sky in the future. It's always right to build a good relationship now.
