Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 293: Job Hunting in Changzhou City

The next day, Yan Ningxue ran into the Golden Palace crying despite being stopped.

"Your Majesty, brother, Lu Chenglong is missing. Please quickly arrange for someone to find her."

In the court, the ministers immediately exploded, with voices buzzing and discussions in commotion.

Yan Bei sighed in his heart.

He had already anticipated that after he successfully took office, Lu Chenglong would probably leave.

It is a pity that such a great talent cannot be utilized by Dong Yan.

But Lu Chenglong wants to leave, can he keep him?

There's no way he could keep it.

He could only comfort Yan Ningxue, "Xiaoxue, go back home first. I'll send someone to look for him. By the way, your father is young and strong, can't he still come out and do something?"

Yan Ningxue wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, if you summon him, he will definitely come."

Yan Bei immediately issued an order: "Pass on my order, Third Prince Uncle will take charge of the Cavalry Battalion again."

He left the throne and personally pulled Yan Ningxue up, whispering, "Your father is the same. I brought Lu Chenglong to your home before, but he didn't make the time to get you two married. What was he delaying?"

Yan Ningxue said, "He's been running around for the country all day long. He's been away on the Western Expedition for almost a year, and now he's finally back, but the late king has passed away. According to royal regulations, no weddings can be held within three months. Let's..."

Yan Bei comforted her, "Alright, alright. Go back and inform your father to prepare to take over the Cavalry Battalion again. I'll send someone to look for Lu Chenglong."

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and there was no news from either Lu Chenglong or Lu Xunhuan.

In an inn in Changzhou City, the capital of Western Chu, a young man got up from his bed.

He sat down at the table, took a sip of tea, and thought about how to sneak into the Western Chu Royal Palace and how to enter the Western Chu national treasury.

He has been here for three days.

But this solution is not easy to come by.

If you are not an important official of the country, how can you have the opportunity to enter the palace, let alone enter the national treasury.

But if he wanted to become an important official of Western Chu, he couldn't just give his name directly.

Whether it is Lu Xunhuan, Lu Suifeng, or Lu Chenglong, they are all outsiders to Xi Chu.

Moreover, why did such a famous foreigner in other countries suddenly run to Western Chu? What was his intention?

People will doubt his motives. Not expelling him would be a mercy. But if he wants to become an important official of Western Chu, forget it.

However, Western Chu did not have the imperial examination system like Eastern Yan, so it seemed unrealistic to want to replicate Lu Chenglong's miracle and pretend to be a great writer.

Besides, he doesn't want to pretend to be a literary giant anymore.

He took a few sips of tea, stood up, and went out for a walk. Perhaps he could find some inspiration by looking around the city more.

Changzhou City, as the capital of Western Chu, was very prosperous.

People come and go, the flow never stops.

After walking for a while, he saw a woman in blue in the crowd. She was very beautiful, tall and outstanding.

The woman had a bag slung over her right shoulder and a sheathed sword in her left hand, and she walked hurriedly.

The woman had a good figure, light steps, and exuded the scent of spring, which attracted many men to turn around.

Since he had nothing to do, he followed the woman to see where she was going.

Is he a disciple of a certain immortal cultivation sect, or a public official of a certain department in Changzhou City?

About half a mile later, the woman walked up the stairs and entered a five-story building.

Above the entrance of the building, there is another plaque that reads: Xialou.

Lu Xunhuan stood in front of the building and wondered, what does Xialou mean?

Could it be that it is some kind of organization like the Shenlong Pavilion or the Immortal Friends Association?

However, the Shenlong Pavilion and the Immortal Friends Association never hang signs, but the Xia Building hangs its sign in front of the building openly.

After standing there for a while, he asked a man who seemed to be doing nothing, "Brother, what does Xialou do?"

The man looked him up and down and said, "You're a country bumpkin, right? You don't even know Xialou?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled with feigned embarrassment, "I'm from another place, so I really don't have much experience."

The man said, "The so-called Xialou is dedicated to doing chivalrous things. No matter if it's the common people, officials, or even the royal family, as long as someone asks them to do something, they will do it."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Do they charge money?"

The man looked at him with disdain: "What a country bumpkin! If you don't charge me, how will I eat? Why should I work for you?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I see. Then what kind of work do they take?"

The man said, "There are many jobs, such as investigating cold cases, arresting serious criminals, eliminating evil for the people, and so on. As long as they can do it, they will do it."

Lu Xun Huan stroked his chin and asked, "What's wrong with the royal family? Can't you handle it yourself? Do you need to find Xia Lou?"

The man sneered and said, "You don't understand, country bumpkin? Our territory of Western Chu is tens of thousands of miles long, with high mountains and long roads. Even the royal family can't reach some places. We have to seek help from others."

The man walked away: "You are ignorant. I won't talk to you anymore."

After that person left, Lu Xunhuan thought, why not find a job in Changzhou City first, slowly inquire and investigate, and then find a chance to contact the royal family later?

Besides, things like divine bones, golden hoops, stick fragments, and defensive magic weapon parts are not necessarily all in the national treasury. Sometimes they may come from the public.

After making up his mind, he took a step forward, climbed a few stone steps, and entered the Xia Tower.

Inside the Xia Building, the first thing that caught his eye was a row of counters.

There were several people sitting behind the counter.

The counters are numbered: Counter One, Counter Two, Counter Three...

It is a place to receive customers.

Suddenly, in a trance, he thought he had traveled through time and entered the bank.

……

There was a woman next to him, who seemed to be a receptionist. When she saw him, she immediately came forward and said, "Sir, please come to counter number one."

Lu Xun Huan turned around and looked at the woman: "I'm not here to do business, I'm just here to see if you're still hiring?"

The woman looked him over and asked, "What can you do?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I am an immortal cultivator, so I have the strength."

The woman asked, "Which sect are you from?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "Feixianmen."

The woman thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I've ever heard of this sect."

Lu Xunhuan said, "My hometown is Liangzhou City. I used to cultivate immortality in Feixian Sect in Zhou Kingdom. Since Liangzhou City now belongs to the territory of Western Chu, I should be a Western Chu person, right?"

The woman suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is. Of course it is. I wonder what realm you have reached in your cultivation?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "If you're recruiting new people, you should have some standards, right? I don't want to expose my abilities, but I'm also afraid of underestimating them. If I can't even meet your standards, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Just assess me according to your standards."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, I'll go inform Captain Ma and give you a chance."

She was convinced in her heart that Lu Xunhuan must not have much strength, so she didn't dare to say what level he was at, but she wanted to join the Xialou, so she was deliberately vague.

However, this guy is very handsome and gives people a good impression.

If I could take it in and have it as a colleague, it would be pleasing to the eye.

So, she gave Lu Xunhuan a chance and took him to the backyard of Xialou through a side door.

In the backyard, several people were sitting in the pavilion, seemingly discussing a case.

The woman walked forward with Lu Xunhuan and said, "Team Ma, this young man wants to join the Xialou. Give him a chance. Can you test him?"

A man in his thirties looked Lu Xunhuan over and asked, "What's your specialty?"

Lu Xun Huan replied: "Cultivating immortals, having strength."

Captain Ma smiled and said, "Oh, it's good to have strength. We are in need of strong people. Qingxia, go and test his strength."

A woman with her back to Lu Xunhuan stood up.

When Lu Xunhuan entered the backyard, he recognized her. She was the woman in green who had hurriedly walked on the street before.

So her name is Qingxia?

Hmm, sounds good.

Qingxia walked out of the pavilion and stood in front of Lu Xunhuan: "A fist fight or a sword fight?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "Either is fine."

Qingxia saluted and said, "Okay, take my palm."

After saying that, she took two steps back, activated her magical power, and slapped Lu Xunhuan.

Lu Xunhuan stretched out his hand and gently blocked it, but it didn't move at all.

Captain Ma shouted from the pavilion, "Put on some more strength! What's wrong? Are you looking down on me?"

Qingxia nodded: "Okay."

She mobilized her immortal power and slapped Lu Xunhuan again. This time, she used 50% of her strength.

Lu Xunhuan gently blocked it with his hand again, but it still didn't move.

Captain Ma shouted from behind, "You have to use all your strength. Only those who can withstand your full strength are qualified to join the Xialou."

Qingxia turned around and said, "What do you mean? You mean I'm weak, right?"

She turned around again, said "I'm sorry", and then mobilized all her spiritual power to slap Lu Xunhuan.

Lu Xunhuan grabbed her hand and made her strength invisible.

"The fifth level of the Tengyun Realm is pretty good. It's not easy to break through the Tengyun Realm."

Captain Ma had already stood up and walked up to Lu Xunhuan. "Young man, that's not bad. Want to try to take my palm?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Please teach me."

After Qingxia moved aside, Captain Ma used all his strength to slap Lu Xunhuan in the abdomen.

But his hand was also caught by Lu Xunhuan, and the force he exerted had been turned into invisible.

Lu Xun Huan nodded again and said, "It's not easy to reach the second level of Huiyang Realm."

Captain Ma laughed out loud: "Haha, okay."

He said to the woman, "Xiao Li, register, start work, and arrange accommodation. It just so happens that Qingxia needs a strong partner, so he is the one."

An hour later, Lu Xunhuan's information was delivered to Captain Ma.

Name: Supreme Jade

He raised his eyes and looked at Xiaoli: "How can there be a person named Zhi in Xichu?"

Xiaoli replied, "He's from Liangzhou City in the former Zhou Dynasty. Maybe there's someone with this surname there..."

"It's also possible that his surname isn't Zhi, but the compound surname Zhizun..."

Captain Ma continued to look down at the information: "Okay, maybe it's true."

Native place: Liangzhou.

Age: 24.

Height: 1.85 meters.

He raised his head again: "What is this? What rice? Rice or millet?"

He said, "Hey, ruler. If you don't know how many feet and inches he is, measure him. Don't write nonsense."

Xiaoli said, "He wrote it himself. Height isn't an important factor. You're a head shorter than him. You can be the captain because you're smart, right?"

Captain Ma smiled and said, "That's right, that's right, okay."

He returned the information to Xiaoli and said, "I won't read it anymore. I'll arrange accommodation for him. He will follow Qingxia on missions from now on. Wherever Qingxia goes on a mission, he will go with her."

Xiaoli nodded: "Okay."
