Chapter 33 Forced into Marriage_1
Dugu Qianye thought for a moment and said, "My plan is to go to the Imperial Capital to attend the Empire College’s enrollment. I can stay in Feier City for a few days, but if nothing comes up by mid-August, I will have to leave."
She also wanted to see if the monster uprising at Mengjiao Ridge was caused by Xiaohuo.
Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, the City Lord visibly relaxed. Having a Divine Beast was quite a significant help.
Afterward, the City Lord arranged for Dugu Qianye to rest in a guest room, suggesting she stay at the City Lord’s Mansion for the next few days for the convenience of being summoned if needed.
When Dugu Qianye arrived at her room, she saw that all the other rooms were occupied. It appeared that the City Lord had already recruited quite a few people. It had to be said that such a City Lord was indeed a good one.
Seeing the butler leading Dugu Qianye, everyone else was full of surprise.
"How come the City Lord even recruited such a young person? And she doesn’t seem to show any Phantom Power fluctuations; could she be someone incapable of cultivation, a mere waste? Won’t such a person hold us back when the time comes?" a man with slicked-back hair said, his eyes full of disdain. He was a level 9 Great Phantom Master, and sharing accommodations with someone who couldn’t cultivate felt demeaning to him.
"Don’t talk nonsense; the City Lord has his reasons for inviting her. Let’s just go out for a drink," another Phantom Master said, pulling the slick-haired man away.
Ignoring the slick-haired man’s comments, Dugu Qianye thanked the butler and entered her room. The room was comfortably furnished, indicating that the City Lord took good care of the people he recruited.
Finally alone, Dugu Qianye instructed Xiaoyin to keep watch outside the room while she entered the Refining Demon Pot. As soon as she entered, she felt a doll pouncing into her arms.
