Chapter 2593 Luo City’s City Lord?(3)
"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble this Captain to help me make a recommendation! If I can succeed, I will definitely not forget your great kindness. " Leng ruoxue put on an expression of gratitude.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, I'll take care of this. Tell me the name and I'll recommend it to you. " The captain of the guards said impatiently.
"I'm Leng Xue. " Leng ruoxue said shyly.
"Leng Xue? It's really a good name, and the person lives up to his name!" The captain of the guards praised her, but the truth was, not to mention that the name of the woman in front of him was really quite nice, even if it wasn't nice, if she was only called Ah Hua, ah Cao, or something, he would still praise her.
After knowing Leng ruoxue's name, the captain of the guards hurriedly took out a registration form and filled it in. Then, he remembered that he had not asked about her age.
Leng ruoxue reported that she was 16 years old. She felt a little embarrassed when she mentioned her age. Sixteen? She was almost sixteen years old. Now, in order to observe the changes, he had to pretend to be young. However, for cultivators, age really didn't mean anything.
When big mountain and his son heard Leng ruoxue's age, they couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes. It was obvious that none of them believed that Leng ruoxue was really only sixteen years old. However, a woman's age was naturally a secret. More importantly, a good man should not ask a woman's age!
As for a certain Guard Captain, when he heard that Leng ruoxue was only 16 years old, he was naturally overjoyed. On top of that, he saw that Leng ruoxue's cultivation wasn't that high, so he didn't doubt her words at all.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked,""You're from the Leng family?"
"Yup! However, I'm only from the Leng family's side branch, and my relationship with them is relatively distant. What, can't the Leng family participate in the election?" After Leng ruoxue finished speaking, she looked at the captain of the guards pitifully as she blinked her beautiful eyes with a bitter expression.
When the guard Captain saw that the beauty was about to cry, it immediately aroused his strong desire to protect her. He quickly said,""Sure, sure, we most welcome the daughters of big families to participate in the election. You and our city Lord are definitely a match made in heaven! And they're quite well-matched in social status!"
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. " Leng ruoxue suppressed her disgust and nodded.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be selected. " The guard Captain promised.
Leng ruoxue smiled to express her gratitude before asking,""My subordinates and Beastie want to be with me. It shouldn't be a problem for them to enter the city with me, right? I think the security at the city gate is quite strict ..."
"No problem!" The guard Captain glanced at the little beasts, then at big mountain and his son. He thought to himself,'what could be wrong with these little things and two weak subordinates?' However, from the looks of it, the beauty in front of him was really not very favored in the family! This subordinate's strength is actually so low, sigh! It was quite pitiful.
Fortunately, she had met him. With his recommendation, this beauty would be able to live a good life in the future. Of course, he would also have endless benefits! The captain of the Imperial Guards secretly imagined Leng ruoxue as a desolated daughter who had been bullied by her family and had traveled all the way to Luo city to participate in the selection. It was really not easy. This was clearly an inspirational drama!
After filling in the blanks in his head, he looked at Leng ruoxue with a look of sympathy. As for Leng ruoxue, she could feel the guard captain's gaze on her. She could only smile in silence.
"Let's go! I'll take you into the city. " After feeling sorry for them, the captain of the guards said this with a face full of enthusiasm. Leng ruoxue, the other two, and the five little beasts did not even have to pay the entrance fee and were directly brought into the city.
At this moment, there were quite a number of people on the streets of Luo city. Leng ruoxue and her group of people followed behind the captain of the royal guards and were constantly surrounded by people. The surrounding people even secretly pointed at them and gossiped about them, causing Leng ruoxue to almost go crazy.
"Don't worry about those people. They are all friends and relatives of their families. They are jealous that you are more beautiful than their daughter. Just ignore them." The captain of the guards could tell that Leng ruoxue was a little frustrated, so he kindly explained to her.
"Alright," he said. Leng ruoxue nodded obediently.
The captain of the guards returned a satisfied smile. An obedient woman would be welcomed wherever she went.
He then led Leng ruoxue and the rest to turn a few streets before the captain of the guards suddenly pointed at an Inn and said,""We're here, you guys can stay here!"
Glancing at the inn, Leng ruoxue was puzzled.""Why do you want to stay in the inn? I can't stay in the city Lord's mansion?"
Although Leng ruoxue's words were a little arrogant, the captain of the guards didn't have any negative feelings towards her. He even thought that this was a display of her self-improvement. However, if these words were heard by the other candidates, it might incur the wrath of the crowd. Hence, he explained patiently,""Not now. Only those who pass the semi-finals can stay in the city Lord's mansion and wait for the final. You can only stay in the inn for now."
"The environment here is not bad. It's the best Inn in Luo city. Believe me, you're the person I recommended. Of course, I'll take care of you." The guard Captain added.
"I understand." Leng ruoxue nodded. She couldn't help but think to herself,"it seems that the city Lord's wife selection is quite complicated. I really don't know what Luo Xian wants to do."
Leng ruoxue, who was full of doubts, stayed in the inn under the arrangement of the captain of the guards. As for Luo Xian and his son, it seemed that she could only meet them in private.
After sending off the captain of the guards, Leng ruoxue had just sat down in the living room when she saw big mountain looking at her hesitantly. His expression seemed to be in a dilemma.
"What do you want to say?" Leng ruoxue could not help but ask kindly when she saw how uncomfortable he was.
"I didn't expect senior to come to Luo city to participate in the wife selection for the city Lord." The mountain said with a look of sudden realization. However, he felt that something was not right. With this senior's strength, it would not be wrong for him to find a piece of land and be a city Lord! Why would he be interested in the position of the city Lord's wife? This didn't make sense.
The mountain had been thinking about this question ever since he entered Luo city, but he could not figure it out no matter what.
"Pfft!" Hearing big mountain's words, Leng ruoxue, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat it out. She could not help but wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.
Leng ruoxue was even more speechless when she saw mountain's perplexed and confused expression.
What did she say or do to cause the mountain to misunderstand?
Leng ruoxue was both worried and depressed.
When baby heard this, he was so angry that he clenched his little claws and scratched at the mountain's body. As he scratched, he roared fiercely,""Choose your big head! Is that lousy city Lord worthy of my lovely master? Do you even have a brain? Do you have a pig's brain?"
The mountain felt so wronged!
However, he did not dare to talk back. He could only hold his head tightly and Dodge the baby's sharp claws. In just a few minutes, his clothes were torn into rags and hanging on his body.
