Chapter 322: Arrangements in Qingguang City

"City Lord Zhou, Black Wind, and Light Whisper, please take your seats!"

Inside Xue Yu's cave dwelling.

He had just welcomed Zhou Qingguang, Black Wind, and Light Whisper into the cave dwelling and arranged for them to sit.

Previously in Qingguang City, he had been a commander under Zhou Qingguang.

But now he serves Dongxuan City, and he will have only one City Lord from now on.

Therefore, although Xue Yu was willing to meet Zhou Qingguang, his form of address had become much more distant.

Zhou Qingguang nodded slightly and did not mind too much.

Xue Yu himself now possesses a cultivation base at the Golden Core realm and is also one of the high-ranking officials of Dongxuan City.

In terms of status, Xue Yu's achievements have already surpassed his.

Suppressing the bitterness in his heart and preparing to speak, Zhou Qingguang suddenly sensed extremely pure spiritual energy within the cave dwelling and exclaimed in shock:

"Xue Yu, you... is this a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling?"

You must know that many Nascent Soul realm loose cultivators cannot even obtain a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling for long-term cultivation.

Black Wind and Light Whisper exchanged a glance, and both made a firm decision in their hearts.

In recent years, Black Wind and Light Whisper have become Dao companions.

And Xue Yu has not only broken through to the Golden Core realm but also possesses a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling.

Currently, the two of them are still stuck at the Purple Mansion realm.

They looked at Xue Yu with extremely complex expressions.

Zhou Qingguang was unaware of the thoughts of Black Wind and Light Whisper.

Moreover, Light Whisper is now pregnant.

Even Zhou Qingguang could not help but show a hint of envy in his eyes.

Black Wind and Light Whisper had secretly decided that even if Zhou Qingguang chose to leave Dongxuan City this time.

He knew Xue Yu had changed his cave dwelling, but he did not expect Xue Yu to have switched to a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling.

Who would have thought that a single moment of hesitation back then had created a vast gap between the three of them.

Before coming, Zhou Qingguang had communicated with Xue Yu.

After confirming that Xue Yu's cave dwelling was a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling.

Back in the day, the three of them were all commanders of the guards in Qingguang City.

Xue Yu nodded slightly with a blank expression, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly:

"That is correct. This is a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling bestowed upon me by the City Lord."

For the future of their child.

The two of them would also leave Qingguang City and join Dongxuan City.

Hearing Zhou Qingguang's inquiry.

Black Wind and Light Whisper behind Zhou Qingguang trembled slightly.

After receiving Xue Yu's confirmation.

And Xue Yu, who is merely at the Golden Core realm, has already obtained a Fifth-Rank cave dwelling that permanently belongs to him.

How could Zhou Qingguang not feel envious?

"If I had known, I should have joined Dongxuan City directly back then."

Zhou Qingguang pretended to be calm on the surface, but the regret in his heart grew even stronger.

Xue Yu ignored the expressions and thoughts of the three and spoke lightly:

"This time, are you certain you want to join Dongxuan City?"

More than two hundred years ago, Zhou Qingguang, Black Wind, and Light Whisper had approached him.

Out of their past friendship, he had conveyed to Ye Qingxuan the three's desire to join Dongxuan City.

However, simply because they were not given any special treatment upon joining Dongxuan City.

Zhou Qingguang, Black Wind, and Light Whisper directly left Dongxuan City and gave up the opportunity to join.

Xue Yu from two hundred years ago had some understanding of the three.

But today, two hundred years later.

After Xue Yu had completely submitted to Ye Qingxuan and gained an understanding of Dongxuan City's foundations.

The understanding of the past had long since turned into dissatisfaction.

Given the level of Dongxuan City.

Three cultivators who are not even at the Nascent Soul realm want special treatment just for joining Dongxuan City?

Even though these three have a connection with him.

Xue Yu felt that the three of them were ungrateful.

Feeling Xue Yu's scrutinizing gaze.

Opposite, Zhou Qingguang, Black Wind, and Light Whisper looked extremely awkward.

Black Wind glanced at Light Whisper, then at Zhou Qingguang, gritted his teeth, and spoke first:

"Xue Yu, rest assured! This time we have made a firm decision and will definitely join Dongxuan City."

Seeing Black Wind bypass him and speak first, Zhou Qingguang's face immediately darkened.

However, only a brief moment passed.

Zhou Qingguang's face slowly relaxed and returned to normal; he remained silent, implicitly agreeing with Black Wind's words.

Seeing this, Xue Yu nodded slightly and said:

"In that case, then you may wait here for my news!"

Having spoken, Xue Yu rose and left the cave dwelling, fleeing toward the direction of Mount Wanling.

On Mount Wanling.

Xue Yu arrived before Ye Qingxuan and respectfully bowed, saying:

"City Lord, Zhou Qingguang, Heifeng, and Qingyu wish to join Dongxuan City. Please, City Lord, make the decision."

"Zhou Qingguang, Heifeng, Qingyu?"

Hearing the three names, Ye Qingxuan's eyes showed a look of contemplation.

Although more than two hundred years had passed, Ye Qingxuan still retained some impression of the three.

He did not mind that Zhou Qingguang had twice refused to join Dongxuan City.

Similarly, regarding the three's renewed desire to join Dongxuan City, Ye Qingxuan would not deliberately obstruct them.

Whether Dongxuan City gained or lost a few Purple Mansion or Golden Core cultivators.

It would have no impact on Dongxuan City.

What he considered was the arrangement for Qingguang City should Zhou Qingguang join Dongxuan City.

Just as Ye Qingxuan was thinking.

Another person arrived atop Mount Wanling.

This person was none other than Jiang Wen, one of Dongxuan City's Golden Core Commandants.

Arriving before Ye Qingxuan, Jiang Wen respectfully said:

"City Lord, many cultivators from Qingguang City wish to relocate and settle in our Dongxuan City. Please, City Lord, make the decision."

In these days, the cultivators from Qingguang City who came to plead with him were not limited to Zhang Wenhao and Wang Hu.

As far as Jiang Wen knew.

Even on Li Mu and Liu Feifeng's side, many cultivators from Qingguang City had pleaded, wishing to relocate and settle in Dongxuan City.

This matter could be either major or minor.

Because the number of people wishing to relocate to Dongxuan City was too great.

Jiang Wen simply decided to report it, letting his City Lord make the final judgment.

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, and recalling that Zhou Qingguang, Heifeng, and Qingyu wished to join Dongxuan City.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Qingxuan spoke:

"In that case, let Qingguang City relocate!"

"Relocate?"

"Exactly. Let all the mortal residents and cultivators of Qingguang City relocate and merge into Dongxuan City."

"As for the Fourth-Rank spiritual vein within Qingguang City, treat it as a Fourth-Rank spiritual site under management, and arrange for cultivators to guard it in shifts!"

The scale of Qingguang City, specifically its mortal population, was only a few million.

Given Dongxuan City's current space, accommodating the residents and cultivators of Qingguang City was more than sufficient.

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan looked at Xue Yu again:

"As for Zhou Qingguang, Heifeng, and Qingyu.

Since Qingguang City is to relocate into Dongxuan City.

Let Zhou Qingguang serve as a District Governor of Dongxuan City, and let Heifeng and Qingyu serve as Deputy District Governors, continuing to manage the mortal residents of Dongxuan City!"

After its expansion, Dongxuan City was divided by Ye Qingxuan into one hundred and eight major districts.

Beneath each major district, numerous city districts were further subdivided.

For each major district, Ye Qingxuan established one District Governor, two Deputy District Governors, and various other auxiliary management positions of different sizes.

Among these, only cultivators above the Foundation Establishment realm could serve as District Governors or Deputy District Governors.

As the management layer of a major district, as long as the population growth rate of the district met the standard, or a cultivation genius was born.

The City Lord's Mansion of Dongxuan City would, according to regulations, bestow a large amount of contribution points and cultivation resources.

Ye Qingxuan established these positions.

First, to provide sufficient posts for cultivators joining Dongxuan City later, ensuring they were not idle.

Second, to further promote the development of Dongxuan City.

With the incentive of rewards, the District Governors of the major districts would inevitably vigorously develop the districts under their jurisdiction.

Relocating the mortal residents of Qingguang City into the same major district, with Zhou Qingguang becoming the District Governor, was perfectly appropriate.

"Very well, you may go and make the arrangements!"

"Yes, City Lord!"
