Inside the city lord's palace.

In a room.

The man in cloak is reporting the status of this operation to Xu Zonghe.

After hearing the report from the cloaked man, Xu Zonghe's expression also condensed slightly.

Then, he sneered and said, "This Wu Xuan really takes himself seriously!"

"Don't take a pee and look in the mirror to see who you are."

"If it weren't for a master who is the fourth elder, he would be able to tolerate his clamor."

The cloaked man nodded.

He said, "If the third elder does not withdraw from this power circle in advance, or takes the initiative to fight for it, then the position of the four young masters in this domain city should belong to you, young master."

"Wuxuan's strength is not as good as yours, and his talent is not as good as yours. It's just because the Fourth Elder has more power and is closer to the First Elder and the Second Elder that he was added to the Four Young Masters."

"Really speaking, he is really nothing in front of you, young master."

"However, the situation is stronger than the people now. We still have to rely on their help, so we can only tolerate him for a while."

Xu Zonghe nodded.

He glanced at the cloaked man and said, "I've wronged you."

The cloaked man immediately expressed his loyalty and said, "I won't feel wronged when doing things for the young master! But..."

After a pause, the cloaked man continued, "Master, are they really reliable? In other words, can they really give you the ability to take charge of a city?"

"Of course!"

Xu Zonghe smiled and said, "There is a reason why they can be called the Four Young Masters. At least, it is definitely not as simple as you think."

"Needless to say about the group of elders behind them."

"In addition, they are surrounded by many people and forces."

"If people like them are willing to give me control of a city, that's absolutely fine."

"Besides, I only want to control one city, which is not too high a request in itself."

"The current Kunlun Sword Domain has twenty-eight cities."

Xu Zonghe is now just a deputy city lord in Yuncheng.

You cannot make your own decisions about anything.

Even if you can make the decision yourself, you still need to report to your superiors.

Moreover, the resources here are not something he can allocate.

He can only divide it appropriately.

There is no power to distribute at all.

Even the current acting city lord of Yuncheng has a higher status than him.

This made him very uncomfortable and unwilling.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that the third elder no longer cares about anything.

And although his father also went to Yucheng to be an elder.

However, he is a marginal elder with no power or influence.

Moreover, because he was following the third elder, not many people were willing to get close to his father.

Therefore, his current promotion path can no longer rely on others.

You can only rely on yourself.

And if you want to be promoted quickly, becoming a city lord is undoubtedly one of the best ways.

Therefore, he agreed to the requests of those young masters and was willing to join forces with them to mess up Yuncheng.

"Master, actually, I think you are a little too hasty."

The cloaked man said, "According to my judgment, since City Lord Jian Wushang is willing to give the position of acting City Lord to City Lord Hao, it means that City Lord Hao will definitely not be simple."

"Moreover, you also said that this Sword City Lord has an extraordinary origin and is a person with a heritage."

"Your father also asked you to get close to him."

"Faced with such a person, you can actually be more patient."

"Perhaps, one day in the future, they can really become your nobles."

"And now, by doing this, you will undoubtedly push them directly into the opposite direction."

"Although those young masters can give you some benefits, after all, this is just a small profit in front of you."

"In the future, if they become stronger, they will not remember your kindness. Instead, they will remember that you threatened them with this matter."

Hearing this, Xu Zonghe's face darkened.

He frowned and said, "Have I ever threatened them? They came to me for cooperation!"

"However, they are looking for your cooperation because they want you to help. They are not trying to give you control of the city. You want the control of the city on your own initiative."

The cloaked man continued, "You are threatening them when they come."

"so what?"

Xu Zonghe said coldly, "As long as I become the city lord of a city, my strength can be improved very quickly. In the future, I may not have the opportunity to be promoted to the realm of the Yuanzu."

"As long as I have the strength to step into the Yuanzu realm, do they still dare to touch me?"

"Besides, the third elder and my father are here!"

"If they really want to touch me, they must carefully consider the consequences."

The cloaked man sighed.

He said, "Master, what I mean is that as long as we are willing to wait, maybe we can have a better future."

"On the contrary, after what we did today, I'm afraid no one really wants to see us."

"At that time, neither the Sword City Lord nor those young masters will take us seriously anymore."

"Even your father and the third elder may not care about us anymore."

"I remember you said that the third elder and your father are both jealous of evil."

Xu Zonghe's face became increasingly sad.

However, he still said coldly, "As long as you and I don't tell anything about this matter, and then directly silence the person who did it, who will know about it?"

The cloaked man shook his head and said, "Master, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If you want something else, maybe no one will know."

"But, what you want is control of a city."

"Do you think others won't know?"

"And, can you guarantee that those young masters won't talk nonsense?"

As he said that, the cloaked man sighed again, "In fact, when I went there today, I have been thinking about whether your plan is correct."

"After I met Wu Xuan, I felt that there might be something wrong with our plan."

"Because, judging from Wu Xuan's attitude, they don't take us seriously at all."

"They didn't take us seriously at all."

"We want to have equal dialogue with them. In their eyes, we are threatening them."

"And when I left the restaurant, I was always a little uneasy and felt that something was going to happen."

"Although, this may just be because I think too much."

"but……"

After saying that, he shook his head again and sighed, "Forget it, let's not say those unlucky words. In short, you gave me this life, young master. I will do whatever you say."

"I just hope that young master, you can think twice before doing these things."

"Also, I need to remind the young master something!"

"He Min and Tang Hua are not me, and they will not be as loyal to you as me, so master, you'd better be careful about them."

Hearing this, Xu Zonghe fell silent.

He didn't speak.

He just frowned and remained silent.

The cloaked man didn't say anything, he just waited silently.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Xu Zonghe still didn't respond.

The cloaked man then said, "Master, I'm still a little uneasy about the people guarding over there, so I'll go over first."

Then he said, "If you change your mind, you can inform me at any time."

"change idea?"

Xu Zonghe smiled bitterly and said, "It's difficult, it's too difficult!"

"How can we go back on what we have agreed with those young masters?"

"If I really regret it, then those young masters may really point their fingers at me."

"Besides, Tang Hua and He Min will not agree."
