Chapter 417.1
Xin Ruxiong Visits (1)
While Lu Qingyuan was concentrating on the construction of the new city, the expansion of Wuling City was also in full swing.
The original Wuling City covers an area of about a hundred square kilometers.
After the expansion, the Wuling City will cover an area of four hundred square kilometers, four times the original area.
The scope of expansion extends southward with the northern moat as the baseline, and it expands in both east and west directions.
After deducting the area of the city wall and some auxiliary facilities, a total of seventy-two squares have been expanded, and the living area has tripled.
The expansion of Wuling City is not at all easier than the construction of a new city.
The city hall discussed this matter for three consecutive days before finally confirming the general expansion work.
During the subsequent expansion project, some plenary meetings and multi-department joint meetings were held from time to time to continuously revise the details of the expansion work, and at the same time add some new facilities that others didn’t expect.
The simultaneous development of the two major projects immediately attracted the attention of all sects and forces in the entire Dongzhou.After being at the center of events during Chu Qing’s attack, Wuling City has become a famous city in Dongzhou.
Although this city has not been established for a long time, its rapid development is unimaginable, to the point that some consider it miraculous.
Of course, there are certain reasons like Yunjian Pavilion’s support, but more of it comes from Feng Shao’s own efforts.
Therefore, the strength of Wuling City actually reflects Feng Shao’s ability to a certain extent.
Looking at the expansion scale of Wuling City, it is obvious that it is rushing to claim the title of the largest city in the Upper Domain.
This caused many sects and forces to cast curious eyes on Wuling City.
While curious, many people began to wonder whether there would be any opportunities hidden in it.
Some are still on the move, while others are already on the way.
More than a month later, Xin Ruxiong, the Holy Lord of Jiuyou Sacred Land, came to Wuling City with his entourage.
Ever since Wuling City fought the Jiuyou Sacred Land five years ago, the relationship between the two sides has become very tense.
In the past five years, Wuling City’s business has spread all over Dongzhou, but it has never touched nor got close to the thousand miles of radius of Jiuyou Mountain.
While Xin Ruxiong has established good relations with other sects, he has never returned to Wuling City, and he has never even sent anyone.
It wasn’t until Xin Ruxiong had a whim a few months ago that he wanted to marry his junior sister to Wuling City that the envoys visited with gifts while Su Ling’er sneaked into the city.
However, because Feng Shao was not in Wuling City at that time, and because Chu Qing’s incident happened later, this matter has been put on hold.
Later, it was even directly forgotten by everyone in the City Lord Mansion.
After waiting for a long time, Xin Ruxiong couldn’t hear any news, and then he learned about the expansion of Wuling City and the construction of a new city, so he decided to come to Wuling City himself.
After Feng Shao received Xin Ruxiong’s greeting letter, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.
This Xin Ruxiong is really a guy who can bend and stretch.
The battle between the two sides five years ago turned people’s brains into dog brains.
It stands to reason that both sides should die of old age with no contact with each other, but he can still bring people to Wuling City in person, and he even talks about marriage as soon as he comes up.
Should Feng Shao consider Xin Ruxiong broad-minded, or should it be him who is small-minded?
But since everyone has already come to visit, and the etiquette is quite sufficient, Feng Shao, as the host, naturally can’t lose face as well. So he directly met Xin Ruxiong and his group in the reception room of the City Lord Mansion.
Anyway, the relationship between the two parties is average, so it was a formal meeting with no other pleasantries.
Attendees from Wuling City included Feng Shao, Lin Xiaoran, Dai Zhixin, Bai Shuanghua, and Zuo Linglan, while the attendees from Jiuyou Sacred Land included Xin Ruxiong, Su Ling’er, and three Taiqing realm Elders.
There were not many participants, but apart from Su Ling’er, they were all powerful factions from both sides.
Feng Shao said to Xin Ruxiong with a smile, “To actually visit from afar, I don’t know if brother Xin has any business with us?”
Xin Ruxiong also smiled and said, “Of course I came here for the friendship between Jiuyou Sacred Land and Wuling City.”
Upon hearing the word “friendship,” Lin Xiaoran and the others couldn’t help but curl their lips. The last battle was the largest conflict between Transcend Tribulation realm powerhouses in hundreds of years. Looking back at it, they still don’t know when it will be surpassed. It’s all like this, so how can there be a so-called “friendship?”
However, Feng Shao didn’t expose it, but instead asked, “I don’t know what brother Xin’s so-called ‘friendship’ includes?”
Xin Ruxiong already has a plan in mind. He patted the shoulder of the little junior sister Su Ling’er who was sitting next to him, and smiled at Feng Shao while saying, “This is my little junior sister Su Ling’er, whom I watched grow up. She is now twenty-eight years old, but she has yet to marry. She often said that in this life, she would either marry a true hero or not marry at all. But in her mind, brother Feng is a veritable hero!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Lin Xiaoran said, “If brother Xin has any plans, you might as well speak frankly.”
Although she has known Xin Ruxiong’s thoughts for a long time, Xin Ruxiong still has to say it himself for it to count.
