Chapter 80 Xu Gu Becomes an Official (Seeking Follow-up Reading) After listening to Xu Gu's speculation, Li Shaobai was silent for a moment and said, "The premise is that the speculation is true." Xu Gu nodded, not dwelling on it any more, and said, "If Miss Qian is really not dead, she will probably look for you again. After all, she is your girlfriend. The outcome should be clear after a while. "Besides, that mysterious force can't remain mysterious forever. It must continue to be active, and there will always be clues revealed." "I hope so." Li Shaobai sighed. He also didn't want his first girlfriend to die like this. Mi Suhui also looked serious. The other party handled the matter so beautifully, which fully proved the terrifying power behind them. The enemy this time is different from the past. "In short, don't be in a hurry. Wait a little longer. Maybe there will be other clues." Xu Gu said with a smile. Speaking of this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Xu Gu's eyes, mixed with a hint of fanaticism.
He had thought that all the magicians were useless. During this period of time, he had been living with all the demons in the magic cave, which had dampened his enthusiasm for practicing magic. Now, there is finally a challenge. "No matter what monsters are behind you, I will definitely be the future Demon Lord." Xu Gu said with a firm and pure expression. …… "Don't worry, we have used instruments to record the entire enforcement process, and we will review it later. This matter is indeed a bit strange, and we will ask the adults in the state capital to help analyze it. We will not close the case so hastily." Captain Wang Qintian saw that Xu, Gu and the other two were silent for a while, and thought that they were dissatisfied with the result, so he made a guarantee. Xu Gu smiled and said, "We trust the government." Mi Suhui and Li Shaobai also nodded in agreement. After saying this, Xu, Gu and the other two were about to leave, but they were stopped by Captain Wang Qintian. "Master Xu, wait a moment." Xu Gu paused and asked hesitantly, "What did you call me?" Captain Wang said with a smile, "Master Xu." As he spoke, he took out a silver order from his bosom, on which were written five large characters - Hiring a swordsman from outside. Xu Gu's name is engraved on the back. "This is the order for hiring you as the Sword Bearer issued by the current emperor to commend your contribution in defeating the ancient conspiracy of the body cultivators who wanted to survive the tribulation. Please accept it. From today on, you are the honorable Sword Bearer." Captain Wang said with a solemn expression and a gentle smile. He knew Xu Gu's identity long before he came. On the way, I kept wondering what kind of a powerful person could come up with such a brilliant plan. Just a few words can directly tell the previously prosperous martial arts world that it is basically in name only. However, the low-level demon cultivators who replaced these warriors were all under control and were extremely easy to manage.
If you encounter someone who is disobedient and uncooperative, you don't need any evidence, just arrest him directly. After coming back and verifying, nine out of ten demon cultivators are wanted criminals, and the remaining one can be directly sentenced as a wanted criminal and can be taken into custody directly. Now that I see him, although he is slightly different from the image of a tough guy that I imagined, I didn't expect him to be actually a handsome young man. But with such temperament and appearance, he is truly a rare talent among men. "Hiring a sword-bearer from outside?" Xu Gu was stunned. He guessed that the court might reward him, but he didn't expect that they would directly appoint him as an official. It was somewhat beyond his expectations. I am a very good demon cultivator and have even become an official. With an official identity, practicing magic becomes more convenient. Xu Gu took the token and expressed his admiration for the emperor. Then, he asked Mi Suhui and Li Shaobai what rank this was. "It's just a small thing," Mi Suhui said disdainfully. "Sesame seeds and mung beans can't be that small, right?" Li Shaobai hesitated. “…” Xu Gu’s mouth twitched. Damn, you asked the wrong person. The identities of these two people have long been at the top of the world. No matter how high the identity of the swordsman is, he is not worthy of attention in the eyes of these two people. "Brother Xu, don't worry about this position. Come back to the sect with me some other day. I will ask the sect master to hire you as a true disciple. Your status will be equivalent to that of the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty." Li Shaobai continued. Mi Suhui also rushed to say: "Come to my Upside-Down Buddhist Temple, I will ask my senior brother to give you the position of the chief disciple." They are not joking, but are very serious about this. In their opinion, with Senior Brother Xu's great talent, it would be a waste of talent to be the True Disciple of the Immortal Sect. He should just be the Sect Master! However, they both felt a little disappointed and felt bad for Xu Gu. This was because Xu Gu only had three spiritual roots, which was too poor. Even if he was extremely intelligent, in this world where the strong were respected, he could only be a military strategist and leader at best. "It's okay, Brother Xu. Having three spiritual roots is pretty good. Not to mention, there are us. When we grow up, no one will dare to say no to you." Mi Suhui assured. "Yes." Li Shaobai held the sword in his hand and said, "Even if you are a third-level spiritual root, so what? I am here, whoever dares to mess with you, I will chop him down with my sword." The sudden comfort caught Xu Gucuo off guard. You two are teasing me behind my back again? What's wrong with having three spiritual roots? Can't you see that I'm already working hard to cultivate magic? I have three spiritual roots, but I don't look weak! Haven't you heard the famous saying? There are no useless spiritual roots, only useless monks. "Thank you." Xu Gu's face was dark as he spoke word by word. Although I know that Li Shaobai and Mi Suhui have good intentions, it is still hard to be happy. Captain Wang saw through Xu Gu's confusion and explained, "The Sword Bearer has no rank and is a special position. He is a trusted confidant of His Majesty. When facing city-level officials, they will look at your attitude. When facing state-level officials, you don't need to look at their attitude." Xu Gu suddenly realized the value of the swordsman. Equivalent to an imperial envoy.
It’s quite powerful. As for the fact that the other party knew his identity and location accurately, and sent the token all the way from the capital, Xu Gu was not surprised. Even righteous undercover agents like Li Shaobai are on the verge of becoming the next generation successors of the devil's den. The entire devil's den is as leaky as a sieve. The court wants to know his general whereabouts, isn't that simple? After he reported the matter to the authorities, they were able to further confirm his identity and send him the token that had been prepared long ago. Just as Xu Gu guessed, Captain Wang Qintian had indeed known his identity for a long time, so he just agreed to let Xu Gu and the other two go to capture the ape demon's helper. "Congratulations, Lord Xu, on becoming the Sword Bearer! We should have held a welcoming ceremony for Lord Xu, but we have official duties to attend to, so we won't greet you." Captain Wang congratulated them a few words and then returned with his men. Although he really wanted to make friends with a tough guy like Xu Gu, he knew in his heart that he was not qualified. You can't force your way into a circle, otherwise you'll easily get into trouble. "We?" Mi Suhui looked at Xu Gu, then at Li Shaobai. "Let's go back to Xiaoliu Town." Xu Gu said solemnly, "Let's stay here for a while and see what changes will happen to Xiaoliu Town after 'Black Wood Granny' is eliminated. Since the other party has set up 'Black Wood Granny' to attract attention, then they must have some plans here." Then Xu Gu added: "Of course, the most important thing is to see whether the performance of the mobile academy will recover." This is their mission on this trip. (End of this chapter)
