Chapter 270: Life 75, Age 22, Martial Grandmaster Peak
During my last life in the Nine Rivers Sect, I had chosen to become the steward of NanLu City, a poor border town that had been ravaged by a series of wars. The reason for this choice was that I had wanted a place in dire need of help so that I could quickly generate karmic energy and contribution points.
For this life, my goals were a bit different. I didn’t care too much about contribution points. Instead, I wanted a stable base of operations that I could use to further grow and strengthen my clan, and with Yan’s help, I was able to create a list of cities that were ideal for this.
When I arrived in Yellow City, I headed straight to the temple at its center to see which ones were available.
Once there, I was greeted by an elder in an orange hanfu.
“Hello, disciple. How may I assist you today?”
I saluted and gave him a short bow. “Greetings, elder. I wish to purchase a position as a city steward.”
The elder dipped his head toward me, but his face remained impassive. “I see. Please allow me to review your status.”
I pulled my jade token from my waist and handed it to him.
After accepting it, the elder disappeared into a side room.
