Chapter 89 Su Yuntao’s unwillingness!
"Should we take another mission now? The guarding mission seems to be in three days, right?" Tang San asked.
"right."
Xiao Wu realized it belatedly, and finally tore off the paper of the task of being Xiao Chenyu's sparring partner, and said with a smile: "My hands are itching, so I should go and beat Xiao Chenyu up. There are 20 gold soul coins. When the time comes, you can hold me back, otherwise I will have to pay for his medicine if I beat him to a cripple."
Zhou Qing and Tang San looked at each other and could only agree to the task.
After saying goodbye to Miss Alice, Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu left the Notting Guild. After asking passers-by for the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, they headed towards it.
But halfway through the journey, the three of them met Su Yuntao, a man with extremely dark circles under his eyes.
"Brother Tao, you haven't slept for how many days?" If Su Yuntao wasn't a little more handsome than the average person, Zhou Qing would have almost failed to recognize him with his unkempt and sloppy appearance.
what's wrong?
Sisi finally chose to throw herself into the arms of the city lord, so that Su Yuntao lost his appetite, didn't want to eat, and suffered from insomnia and nightmares?
however.
The truth is even more outrageous than Zhou Qing imagined—
That night, Su Yuntao followed Zhou Qing's advice and prepared to visit the city lord to explain everything and let Sisi make a choice.
But the closer he got to the City Lord's Mansion, the more nervous he became, so much so that in the end, he did not choose to find an excuse to visit, but instead sneaked in, found the room where the City Lord was, lifted the tiles, and looked down at the good thing going on between the City Lord and Sisi.
But who knew that the scene was unacceptable to Su Yuntao!
I thought it was just the city lord.
But who would have thought that in the bedroom, there were not only Sisi and City Lord Xiao, but also another big and fat man named Darles.
Su Yuntao would not tell Zhou Qing and other children the specific process of the "sandwich" incident, but through the "gossip" of Zhou Qing and others, he still found out that Sisi was having an affair with the mayor of Notting City... No, the mayor of Luoxing City.
"Eh~ The nobles are so disgusting!" Xiao Wu was full of disgust.
But Zhou Qing had a calm expression. After all, there were more chaotic situations in Europe during the Middle Ages... and during the First Dou Period, the overall background of the Tiandou Empire was not much different from this.
Moreover, Zhou Qing seriously suspected that it was precisely because of the existence of soul masters with extraordinary powers, including female soul masters, that the status of women in this world was elevated and they no longer needed to be completely dependent on men.
However, because the path of soul master training is difficult, there are still some female soul masters who feel that they have no hope of breaking through and choose to rely on stronger male soul masters by relying on their physical advantages.
Sisi is a typical example, and she is the type who "plays two games at the same time".
Although this behavior is really against the will of heaven...
"Where are you going?" Su Yuntao sighed, but still asked Zhou Qing and others politely.
"I have accepted the guild's mission and am going to the City Lord's Mansion to serve as a sparring partner for Xiao Chenyu."
Xiao Chenyu can be described as a typical dandy boy.
In college, he basically doesn't attend classes. According to Zhou Qing's observation, he goes to college most likely because he is forced by his father.
reason?
Naturally, he wanted to build good relationships with talented civilian spirit masters. Unfortunately, Xiao Chenyu himself could not fully understand his father's intentions. He only knew that he could not offend children who were suspected to be from big families. In most cases, he still mixed with other noble children in Notting City and often had fun with civilian students and part-time students. It was only recently because he lost to Wang Sheng and Xiao Wu that he calmed down a little.
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Su Yuntao's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear. He grabbed Zhou Qing's shoulders and said anxiously, "Can you take me with you? Please! I can give you a month's salary!"
"It's not impossible, it's just——"
Zhou Qing had no good solution for Su Yuntao who was deeply involved in this, so he could only fulfill his wish, "Brother Tao, you are not too excited, are you?"
"No! I promise, I absolutely won't!" Su Yuntao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and even wanted to swear.
But he was stopped by Zhou Qing.
This kind of thing is just a side issue, there is no need for Su Yuntao to be so serious.
But Tang San asked: "Master Su Yuntao, don't you need to deal with other matters? Also, Sisi didn't return to the Spirit Hall yesterday or the day before yesterday?"
"My main responsibility is to awaken the spirits of children of appropriate age in each village. The rest of the time, except for going to the Spirit Hall every day to process the corresponding documents, I am quite free. Most of the spirit masters in Notting City basically don't go to the Spirit Hall unless they receive subsidies. I have also registered as an adventurer in the Notting Guild..."
Su Yuntao sighed as he explained his duties in the Spirit Hall. "With my status as a Great Spirit Master, I choose to awaken the spirits of children of appropriate age in each village every year. This is to accumulate experience and strive to become the master of a Spirit Hall before I turn thirty."
In a small city like Notting City, the Spirit Hall is a branch hall. There is no need to apply to the more advanced Spirit Hall to select a hall master. As long as one's cultivation reaches the level of a great soul master and has made sufficient contributions, one can take the position.
Just report the name of the new branch temple master afterwards.
After all, there is a Spirit Hall in every town on the continent, but the actual managers of the city are officials and nobles from the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire. In addition, transportation is inconvenient in this era. If a new hall master of a branch hall is selected, he needs to report to the next level of the sub-hall. It will take at least half a month, or even longer, for a letter to go back and forth.
Therefore, of the eight levels of the Spirit Hall: the Worship Hall, the Pope's Hall, the Elders' Hall, the Holy Hall, the Main Hall, the Sub-Hall, the Branch Hall, and the Office, except for the Worship Hall, the Pope's Hall, and the Elders' Hall which are all in Spirit City, the other six, the Holy Halls in the capitals of the two empires, the Main Halls in the major provincial capitals, and the Sub-Halls in various large cities, need to apply to their superiors to select new hall masters.
Because the Wuhun Sub-Hall is located in a larger city, which is much more prosperous than a small city like Notting City, it naturally has to be given more attention.
As for the remaining branch halls in small towns such as Notting City, and the Spirit Hall offices directly managed by the village chief like the Holy Spirit Village, they are all decided by the relevant persons in charge in the towns and villages, and they only need to report their identities and names afterwards.
If something goes wrong, the higher-level Spirit Hall will intervene and arrange for a new Hall Master to come.
The selection criteria for the Hall Master of the Notting City Martial Soul Hall is that the soul power level must be above level 20 and a certain amount of experience must be accumulated.
Among them, traveling through mountains and rivers to awaken the martial spirits for children of appropriate age in each village is the fastest way to accumulate corresponding merits.
Su Yuntao estimated that if he spent another three years, he would be able to become a candidate for the Notting City Wuhun Branch.
At that time, he was considered a well-known figure in Nottingham City and could marry Sisi in a grand ceremony.
He didn't have such big ambitions, and he knew that he didn't have a good talent for martial arts. He just wanted to live a stable life and have a happy family...
But who knows——
Just as Master Matthewnuo expected, Sisi was too carefree!
But he really can't let it go!
