Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The surrounding was silent, so quiet that even a pin falling to the ground could be heard. After a long time, Duan Yunhe coughed lightly and looked at the surrounding crowd and said, “The City Lord Selection happens once every five years. I declare that the City Lord of the East District from this moment onwards, is Qi Kang, and the other three City Lords of the other districts will remain unchanged.”
The voice that contained the aura of spirit energy clearly entered the ears of the crowd, and also made the crowd come back to their senses. There were people under the stage who looked at Qi Kang on the stage in a complicated manner, there were also people who were filled with anticipation and joy in their eyes, and there were also people with a look of waiting to see a good show.
Although it was said that City Lords ran for election once every five years, but, the connections that the incumbent City Lord had accumulated during those five years, would it be possible for just anyone to push them over? What’s more, where did this Qi Kang come from? Without a strong general under his hand, it would be difficult to stabilize the position of Eastern District City Lord.
At this time, the other few people from the Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect also came to their senses as they looked at Qi Kang with complex emotions in their eyes. After a while, an Elder stroked his beard and walked forward, saying, “Qi
Kang, later on, I will have someone accompany you to the Eastern District City
Lord’s Mansion for a handover!”
His voice lulled, he sighed as he looked at the dying Eastern District City Lord underneath that stage, and commanded in a deep voice, “Carry him back first, and have his family move out of the Eastern District City Lord’s Mansion within today.”
“Yes.” The city guards responded respectfully and quickly went forward to carry that Eastern District City Lord away.
And at this moment, over at the Eastern District City Lord’s Mansion, the people in the mansion who had learned of the news exclaimed in disbelief, “This is impossible! How is this possible! We’ve lived here for ten years, it’s always been our Old Master as the City Lord, how could …”
The person who came to report the news gasped, “It’s true, the selection is over, and later on, the people from the Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect will accompany the new City Lord over to hand over the reins.”
Hearing these words, the people in the mansion’s legs went limp and fell down incredulously. If there was a change in the City Lord, the wealth they have amassed over the years due to the City Lord one will only have to be untenable
Along with the end of the competition, the crowd gradually dispersed. Nothing much had changed for many years, yet suddenly, a new City Lord has taken over reign. With this, the East District would definitely garner in a new wave of change.
Thinking of this point, there are already people who were wrecking their brains, finding a time to bring gifts to the East District City Lord’s manor to visit the newly appointed Eastern District City Lord.
At the teahouse, after Feng Jiu and the others finished watching the selection, they were not in a hurry to leave. She lay down on the soft couch and said to the few people beside her drowsily, “I’ll sleep for a while and go back later.”
Upon hearing this, the others quietly retreated, while Leng Shuang fetched a blanket to cover her, and then stood guard at her side.
As for the side of the Medicine Pavilion, the Yu Clansmen all guarded in the backyard of the Medicine Pavilion. They listened to the mysterious voice who had asked them to send their injured clansman to the Medicine Pavilion. They had initially thought that they would be driven out, but a man came out and asked about the situation, before accepting the injured for treatment.
By now, a long time has passed, no one knew what the situation was? This made the clansmen guarding the outside all worried.
“Uncle, my Father will be fine, right?” The man’s face had an unconcealable worry, he looked at the tightly closed door of the room, which hadn’t moved and he felt as if his heart was in seven places at one time. He could not help but keep fidgeting.
“Don’t worry, just wait!” Patriarch Yu patted his shoulder, and sighed softly in his heart. Although that person had accepted his brother, but, for a fatal injury like that, he didn’t hold much hope in his heart..
