This immortal has a lot of rebelliousness

Chapter 72: Battle of Words (Part )

There are beautiful buildings and jade palaces, and people are singing and dancing in peace and prosperity.

As soon as I walked into the magnificent hall, I was greeted by a group of thinly dressed maids singing and dancing to the melodious music.

I go......

Such a waste of time?!

I took a look at the enchanting figures of the maids, and their perfect bodies were faintly visible.

obviously.

The looks of these women are hundreds of times better than those dancers in the post station.

Unfortunately.

Now she still has to show up in public and use her beauty to please the big guys present.

After all, in these three realms and four continents, no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it is just a plaything.

"A beautiful lady with heroic features, can be reborn with just a thought or a chant."

Without waiting for the people in the hall to react.

Zhang Xianling directly jumped over the Tiger Guards in front of him, clasped his hands together, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhang Xianling, the commander of the Lingyun Peak garrison, and I pay my respects to the eldest young master!"

In an instant.

Everyone present was stunned.

According to etiquette, the Tiger Guards should have come forward to report, and then the visitor could introduce himself.

But now.

Zhang Xianling skipped this step directly. To put it mildly, he was too familiar with others. To put it more seriously, he was a little ignorant of the world.

"interesting......"

Above the main seat.

Nangong Wu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, grinned, waved his hand, and immediately drove away the dancing maids in the field.

"Are you Zhang Xianling?" Nangong Wu asked.

"Replacement guaranteed."

Spread your hands.

Zhang Xianling looked up at the man standing tall above him and said in a resounding voice, "I wonder why the eldest master invited me here?"

He performed with ease throughout the whole process and did not show any sign of stage fright at all.

Zhang Xianling was neither humble nor arrogant, and his attitude was not tough, but he did not show any flattery either.

"Insanity!"

Nangong Wu on the platform has not spoken yet.

A monk sitting off to the side was the first to slam the table and stand up, puffing his beard and glaring, "He's just a small mining guard, yet he dares to be so rude? He's truly a country bumpkin from a small town who hasn't seen much of the world!"

As soon as these words came out.

This immediately caused everyone around to burst into laughter, and their eyes towards Zhang Xianling were full of contempt.

See this situation.

Nangong Wu, who was sitting in the main seat, remained calm and looked as if he was not involved, but he secretly exchanged glances with Zheng Daoren in the audience.

The latter stroked his beard, closed his eyes, and just shook his head silently.

See what that means.

It seemed that he wanted to watch the show and take the opportunity to test Zhang Xianling's character and ability.

He raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xianling remained unmoved and glanced coldly at the male monk who was looking for trouble.

The man was of medium build, but had a pointed face and monkey-like appearance. He looked like a scheming and successful villain.

"Who is this?" Zhang Xianling asked deliberately.

"Easy to say..."

The man puffed out his chest and said arrogantly, "I am the counselor of the Ministry of Revenue of Haoqi City, in charge of the allocation of cultivation resources within the city. I am known as the Golden Abacus - Wang Mian!"

The Nangong family of Haoqi City is one of the cultivation forces under the command of the God King of the Eastern Region.

therefore.

For many years, the ancient system has been followed, with the official positions of four ministries and nine ministers.

Wang Mian, the Golden Abacus, is the counselor of the Ministry of Revenue who is in charge of the allocation of spirit stones and resources.

Although his status was not high, he played a vital role in the city.

That's why I'm qualified to sit here and attend the banquet hosted by Nangong Wu.

"Oh I got it."

Zhang Xianling nodded in sudden realization, then shook his head and sneered, "I thought he was some big shot, but after all this fuss, he turns out to be just a bookkeeper doing the accounting!"

Hit the mark——

Wang Mian almost vomited blood on the spot, but for a moment he was unable to refute.

This is true.

Although he held an official position, his own cultivation was mediocre. He was able to get this decent job thanks to the support of his ancestors.

After all, his business is to manage the accounts for the Nangong family.

"you......"

He shook his long sleeves.

Wang Mian was a little furious and cursed, "It's simply vulgar!"

"no way."

Shrug his shoulders.

Zhang Xianling drooped his eyelids and said helplessly, "After all, I came from a small town. I was born and raised in nature, and I'm used to being free and undisciplined. I just don't know how to beat around the bush when I speak."

There was a pause.

Zhang Xianling shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you look like a born lowly person. I'm afraid that no matter how decent you pretend to be, you can't hide it!"

"You, what did you say?!" Wang Mian gritted his teeth.

"I said, you are a bitch..."

His hands were behind his back.

Zhang Xianling's tone was calm, but the killing was still shocking.

"I was just meeting the eldest master, and before he could even say anything, you were so impatient that you suddenly jumped out and started yelling."

"Why, are you afraid that no one knows you have a shifty look, like a rat in a gutter, and you're trying to show off your presence here?"

His witty remarks nearly caused Wang Mian to suffer a myocardial infarction.

"You, you are so rude..."

He was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Wang Mian turned to look at Nangong Wu, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "With the eldest young master here, how can we tolerate a country bumpkin like you being so presumptuous?!"

"Strange."

He smiled coldly.

Zhang Xianling retorted, "I was scolding you, what does it have to do with the eldest master? You are not his son!"

As soon as these words came out.

The whole room was silent for a long time, and many people couldn't help laughing and even laughed like pigs.

Even Taoist Zheng, who had been observing silently, raised the corner of his mouth, quickly picked up the wine glass and smiled secretly, covering half of his face with his sleeves.

"okay!"

The situation is out of control.

Nangong Wu, who was sitting in the main seat, quickly spoke and pondered.

"Everyone here is a guest. You are all guests of the Nangong family in Haoqi City. If you are arguing with others here, it will be disgraceful if outsiders know about it."

He glared at Zhang Xianling fiercely.

Wang Mian originally wanted to continue to denounce, but after catching a glimpse of Nangong Wu's stern eyes on the podium, he immediately swallowed the words back.

"Zhang Xianling, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Master, for the seat."

Bow with your hands clasped together.

Zhang Xianling deliberately stepped past Wang Mian, picked an empty seat, and sat down cross-legged.

It doesn't take a while.

Maids immediately brought in fine wine, delicious food, and a wide variety of delicacies and fruits.

"Zhang Xianling, I heard that you took drastic measures at Lingyun Peak and issued many unexpected orders, which caused public outrage and resentment in the mining area, leading to a sharp drop in the output of spirit stones..."

Pick up the exquisite jade cup.

Nangong Wu's eyes were deep. He raised his head and drank the wine in his glass. He asked with interest, "Is this true?"

He returned a toast to Nangong Wu.

Zhang Xianling remained calm and composed, responding bluntly, "To answer your eldest son's question, I have no other choice but to do this. Lingyun Peak appears peaceful on the surface, but in reality, it has been plagued by long-standing problems. If severe punishment is not taken, serious problems will surely arise in a few years!"

There was a pause.

Zhang Xianling said in a resounding voice: "So, reforms must be carried out immediately, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"
