Chapter 24 The Eldest Miss of the City Lord's Family
This night, Cheng Cheng did not snore because he was not asleep at all.
When he thought of Sister Gui Ji sleeping beside him, his whole body felt uncomfortable as if he was pricked. Even his face was very entangled. If he was facing Gui Ji, he would of course feel embarrassed. If he turned his back, there was a man with a horse face, with his mouth wide open and he was whispering bubbles, which was simply a strange thing in the world.
Finally, he had to lie flat and count the moths on the roof.
I just stayed until midnight, and suddenly a sound like a ghost mosquito came from my ears: "Can't you sleep?"
Cheng Cheng suddenly felt a sudden thrill, thinking that why Sister Gui Ji didn't sleep, was she clamored by the thunderous snoring in the room? After a while, he nodded softly.
Gui Ji chuckled, paused for a while, and said, "How is the popularity here?"
The popularity she mentioned is of course the breath of life. Now more than 20 people have slept in this barracks. Except for Gui Ji, the strongest aura source, is next to him, everyone has passed the second-level test, with a physique above the copper pattern. In addition to the hundreds of people in the nearby barracks, it has indeed formed a very good aura.
"It's okay, it's several times better than the one in the dungeon."
"Then practice the qigong. It's better than if you can't sleep and count moths, right?" Gui Ji's voice was filled with some anger, and it turned out to be a female voice.
Cheng Cheng was frightened and quickly turned his face. Sure enough, he saw that the ghost Ji had regained his original appearance.
"You, what are you?"
Gui Ji shook her head indifferently: "It's been a long time, it's a little uncomfortable, so let's get some breathing back."
"But what if..." Cheng Cheng was stunned.
"It's okay, I'm all asleep." Gui Ji was very sure, and then pointed his forehead with his finger: "Don't think about other things, practice the exercises quickly. I'll work so hard to accompany you, and I'm not asking you to count moths here."
Cheng Cheng had a bitter face and thought to himself that you are like this, how can I practice the exercises with confidence?
Gui Ji seemed to see what he was thinking at a glance, sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll change back immediately, okay?"
Cheng Cheng continued to be delayed until Gui Ji turned into a male body, and finally felt relieved, began to absorb the breath of life around him, temper his vitality until the sky was bright and someone around him turned over and got up to go to the toilet.
This kind of days lasted for three days. Gui Ji would recover his true appearance in the middle of the night every day, which made Cheng Cheng feel worried. Fortunately, all the men in this room were of excellent sleep quality and they didn't notice it.
On the fourth day, the number of people in this camp finally reached 30. According to the rules of Chijin City, it was time to start formal training. At this time, Chijin City sent a leader who led the team. Cheng Cheng was very surprised that he knew this person.
"Old bag?"
Not only Cheng Cheng, many people recognized him. After all, he was smashed into a wooden wall, which is not a spectacle that can be seen every day. His fame has long been very famous.
"That's right, it's me, Bao Longxin." This strong man like an iron tower stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back: "From today, it will take a month, and you will be under my command."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone muttered and whispered. Bao Longxin immediately pointed and shouted, "What are you two saying? Hehe, don't you dare to say it? Don't you know if you don't say it? I just want to say that my cultivation is not enough, and that a boy among you hit the whole family hard. Isn't it worthy of being your head?"
As he said that, he looked at Cheng Cheng with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised and thought to themselves that this person is really honest and dares to expose his own shortcomings.
And Bao Longxin Geng has not finished yet. He continued, "Yes, Lao Bao, I am indeed limited in strength. You all passed the second-level test, and at least half of them are better than me. However, the rules of Chijin City are here. If you are not convinced, you should leave as soon as possible. If you don't leave, you must honestly listen to my orders this month. How about it? Whoever wants to leave? Follow my orders and take a step forward!"
After the words came to the ground, the audience was silent. After a long time, no one stood up. After all, everyone came to Chijin City to make a living. How could they make a decision to make a fortune for such a small matter?
"Okay, since we haven't stood up, then from today on, our team will immediately set off and go to the Xiling Mine to work."
"What?"
At this moment, some people in the team finally couldn't bear it: "Xiling Mining Vein? Isn't that gold mining? Do you want us to be miners?"
There are two red gold veins in Taiqing Mountain, one is below Chijin City, and the other is the Xiling vein. The Xiling vein is extremely large and has not been completely mined over the years, and a lot of new goods can still be produced every year.
Bao Longxin nodded and said, "That's right, I'm just going to be a miner."
"Are you kidding?" someone immediately said, "When we came, we didn't say that."
Bao Longxin shrugged: "This is an emergency, there is nothing we can do."
"What emergencies?" Gui Ji asked at this time.
"Uh..." Bao Longxin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because something happened there."
"What's the matter?" Gui Ji asked.
"The miners there are dead."
"Dead?" Everyone was in an uproar.
After a chaotic period, people began to ask about the cause of death of the miners. Because if one or two died, it was not a problem. Any mining of mines would almost cause death accidents. But if all of them were dead, that would be a big problem.
This time, Bao Longxin's answer was obviously much slower. He thought for a while before he said hesitantly: "They were eaten by something that emerged from the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was even more intrigued.
Such sensational news brings people too much shock. All the miners in a mine have been eaten by unknown creatures, but now, these people are going to replace the miners and risk their entirely unknown lives to work hard labor. Who would like to do this kind of thing?
Even Gui Ji frowned in surprise.
Seeing that, everyone's emotions were a little out of control, and people kept shouting to retreat and go home to farm. But at this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind them: "If you want to leave now, you can't help it."
Everyone turned around in surprise, but saw three people turning out from the camp gate in the rear. The two people behind were obviously dressed as elders of Chijin City. The one who took the lead was a young girl.
However, the girl's appearance was a bit special. She was wearing men's clothing, with her hair tied with her forehead, and a long blue robe. However, her gender was betrayed by the bulging slope on her chest and the fair and greasy skin beside her ears.
"Fuck men?"
Someone quickly guessed her identity.
The main man in Chijin City, Taiheng, has a daughter who is famous for wearing men's clothes. Because Taiheng has no children, she has raised this daughter as a son since she was born, so she gave her a name with such a personality.
However, Gan Shengnan completely inherited his father's cultivation talent, with the nine-level gold pattern, which is the strongest physique in the Gan family in nearly a thousand years. At the age of fifteen and when others were still struggling for Ningbing, she was in the middle stage of the spiritual gathering. Many people couldn't envy her.
"Since you have entered the training camp, you are from Chijin City. Chijin City is a place with strict rules. If you don't follow the rules and do not obey orders, what will happen? You can go to the mass grave of Wulong Gorge and find out the lonely ghosts there."
Her tone was very relaxed, but it couldn't help but feel secretly furious when everyone heard it.
Chijin City has always been known for its severe punishments and harsh laws, and everyone has heard of it. But I didn’t expect that when I came, I would encounter such a bad thing. Some people are already regretting that they did not stand up when Bao Longxin gave him the opportunity.
Gan Shengnan said as he stepped closer, walked around everyone, and finally stood in front of Gui Ji, looking at her deeply.
"Are you Zhao Ying?"
Gui Ji was stunned. She didn't know that she was so famous that she even heard of the girl from the city lord's family.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t Cheng Cheng, who demolished the wall and smashed the chair during the test, almost crippled the tester, attract more attention?
But what the others thought was that being good-looking was just taking advantage of it. Is this little face probably attracted by the city lord's daughter? Even Cheng Cheng couldn't help but think about it in this regard and couldn't help but secretly make a face at Gui Ji.
"The villain is Zhao Ying. I wonder what the eldest lady has to give?" Gui Ji bowed and replied without seeing him.
"It's nothing, just ask." Gan Shengnan smiled slightly, then stepped over in front of her.
"I know that if something happened to the mine, you are reluctant to go there. But don't worry, there is something wrong with my Chijin City, and we will never sit idly by."
She walked to the front of the team, suddenly turned around, and said in a deep voice: "My father has asked me to take the two elders of Tianji Camp to solve the problem of underground monsters. As long as you obey the order and do not act without authorization, nothing will happen."
When Gui Ji heard this, he couldn't help but look at the two elders following behind him.
Both of them looked fifty years old, covered with green robe, with indifferent expressions. The aura was calm and the divine light was restrained. It was probably all around the spiritual gathering stage. It should be enough to send a few underground monsters.
At this time, Gan Shengnan continued, "Actually, letting you team go to Xiling Mine is also interested in your ability. If you encounter a situation, you can still have the power to protect yourself and escape. It is best not to have any trouble. Okay, go back and pack up now, and we will set off right away!"
When everyone heard this, although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only act according to the order.
Gui Ji was about to say something to Cheng Cheng to pay attention to, but suddenly, he appeared in front of her again.
"Miss, is there anything else?" Gui Ji vaguely felt something was wrong, but he still asked with a tough bullet.
"I heard that you have silver pattern?"
"Hmm?" Gui Ji didn't expect that the other party would ask this question. After a moment of stunned silence, he said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Spirit Gathering Realm?"
"That's right."
Gan Shengnan smiled and said, "It's been a long time since such an excellent young man appeared in Akajin City. I'm very interested in you. If you want to talk to you one day, you'd better prepare."
"Well……"
