Chapter 1909 - Scheming
Xu Xiaotian asked, “How long will it take to repair this formation?”
“Don’t worry, young master. I’ll definitely be able to repair the teleportation formation within half a year,”
Guard Cui swore.
“That long?”
Xu Xiaotian frowned.
He knew nothing about formations and could not help much.
Su Zimo looked at the green stone for a while before turning around. He looked at Guard Cui and said indifferently, “20 days is enough to repair this green stone.”
Actually, the number that Su Zimo mentioned was even a little conservative.
He did not understand the formation patterns of teleportation formations.
If he knew the formation patterns of the teleportation formation like the back of his hands, he would be able to repair the green stone in ten days!
“You…”
Guard Cui blushed and straightened his neck, wanting to argue. However, he felt guilty when Su Zimo looked at him and said weakly, “Do you know about formations?”
“A little,”
Su Zimo’s gaze was burning as he said resolutely, “Give me 20 days and I can repair the formation patterns of this teleportation formation!”
Xu Xiaotian glared at Guard Cui angrily and shouted, “How dare you lie to me!”
Guard Cui was sweating profusely with a flustered expression as he explained hurriedly, “Young master, please calm down. The half a year I mentioned was just in case. Under normal circumstances, it won’t take half a year.”
“Don’t worry, young master. I’ll definitely do my best to repair the teleportation formation within 20 days.”
Xu Xiaotian said in a deep voice, “If the teleportation formation can’t be activated after 20 days, you’ll be guilty of dereliction of duty!”
“Y-Yes!”
Guard Cui arched his body and nodded repeatedly.
“Brother Su, let’s go,”
Xu Xiaotian called out.
Su Zimo stood motionlessly in deep thought.
Thinking that Su Zimo was a little disappointed, Xu Xiaotian consoled him, “Brother Su, don’t worry. I’ll prepare a room for you and you can settle down first. It’ll only be 20 days and it’ll be over in the blink of an eye.”
“There’s no need,”
Suddenly, Su Zimo waved it off. “I’ll guard here.”
Stunned for a moment, Xu Xiaotian quickly understood and asked, “Brother Su, are you worried that Liu Tong will return and destroy the teleportation formation again?”
Su Zimo shook his head and did not explain.
What Xu Xiaotian said was only one of the reasons.
Su Zimo was thinking about something else.
Liu Tong’s method of destroying the teleportation formation was not brilliant. In fact, it could not even be considered as a scheme. At most, it would only delay him for 20 days.
What was Liu Tong’s intention?
Was it just to vent his frustrations?
Su Zimo was worried that something else might happen within the next 20 days.
Of course, it would be best if there was nothing.
If he stayed here, he could also make use of this opportunity to learn how to master the formation patterns of teleportation formations.
From now on, even without help, he could activate the teleportation formations in the major cities himself.
“Brother Su, I’ll accompany you,”
Xu Xiaotian patted his chest and declared loyally.
At the side, Guard Cui lamented internally.
He did not dare to slack off under Xu Xiaotian’s watch and could only repair the teleportation formation with all his might.
Su Zimo began to learn the formation patterns of the teleportation formation as well.
Teleportation formations were relatively common in the upper world.
Given his attainments in formations, it was not difficult for him to comprehend and master those formation patterns.
Time passed bit by bit. For the next few days, the City Lord’s residence and Dragon Abyss City were the same as usual.
Liu Tong did not appear again.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed and the teleportation formation was about to be repaired.
This day.
The City Lord, Xu Shi, appeared and called Su Zimo and Xu Xiaotian over. “Liu Tong has sent an invitation. He’s holding a banquet at his residence today to invite the commanders and us.”
“Alright, I’ll ask him why he destroyed the teleportation formation!”
Xu Xiaotian was still indignant at the thought of that.
“Xiaotian!”
Xu Shi frowned slightly. “There’s no need to mention this again.”
Xu Xiaotian pouted and remained silent.
Pondering for a moment, Su Zimo declined, “City Lord, I have some grudges with Liu Tong and I’m not familiar with the other commanders, so I won’t be going.”
“That’s precisely the reason why you should attend the banquet,”
Xu Shi said, “Liu Tong has set up the banquet today with the intention of easing the tension. It’s best if there’s no feud between you and him.”
Su Zimo had a calm expression and thought nothing of it.
Once the teleportation formation was repaired, he would leave the Dragon Abyss Star and roam freely—so what if he had a feud with Liu Tong?!
To be fair, Su Zimo truly did not take Liu Tong seriously.
As though he could read Su Zimo’s mind, Xu Shi shook his head gently. “One of Liu Tong’s senior brothers is in Green Cloud County. I heard that he’s an Earth Immortal expert.”
Su Zimo raised his brow slightly.
Xu Shi said, “That’s all I can remind you.”
Su Zimo gradually understood.
Prior to this, Xu Shi had always been tolerant towards Liu Tong. The one he was wary of should be Liu Tong’s senior brother!
Xu Shi was also reminding Su Zimo out of goodwill that there was no need to offend an Earth Immortal expert because of Liu Tong.
Su Zimo was silent for a moment. “City Lord, pardon me for being presumptuous. Liu Tong is already a Grade 9 Black Immortal. Aren’t you worried that he will join forces with that Earth Immortal expert to replace you?”
That statement was a little overboard.
If Xu Shi were to fall out with Su Zimo on the spot, it would not be impossible for him to accuse Su Zimo of sowing discord.
However, in Su Zimo’s opinion, the timing of Liu Tong’s banquet today was a little coincidental—it was probably not with good intentions!
“Hahahaha!”
Xu Shi reared his head in laughter. “You’re thinking too much. I’m the City Lord appointed by the County Governor of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom’s Green Cloud County. If Liu Tong dares to attack me along with outsiders, he’ll be surrounded and killed by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom!”
“Even Heaven Immortals, sects and factions must not go against the authority of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, let alone Earth Immortals!”
Xu Xiaotian asked worriedly, “Will Liu Tong attack Brother Su at the banquet?”
“Don’t worry,”
Xu Shi said, “With me around, Su Zimo will be safe!”
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and did not decline.
The three of them left the City Lord’s residence and arrived at Liu Tong’s residence before long.
Xu Shi was rather familiar with this commander’s residence. He walked along the stone path and before long, he arrived before a grand hall.
The hall was a little empty.
There was only one person sitting in the middle—Liu Tong.
Xu Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Something was amiss!
The surroundings of the hall were way too quiet and there were no servants or maidservants.
Furthermore, under normal circumstances, all the commanders of Dragon Abyss City would be invited to this banquet. But now, there were only the three of them.
“Could Liu Tong truly be harboring evil intentions?”
Xu Shi frowned.
Ever since Liu Tong advanced to a Grade 9 Black Immortal, the relationship between the two of them had changed subtly.
However, the two of them maintained their restraint and did not fall out.
He was the City Lord selected by the Green Cloud County Governor. Under normal circumstances, Liu Tong could not replace him.
Furthermore, he did not wish to get rid of Liu Tong either. There was no reason for him to offend the Earth Immortal expert backing Liu Tong because of that.
“Don’t worry, young master. I’ll definitely be able to repair the teleportation formation within half a year,”
Guard Cui swore.
“That long?”
Xu Xiaotian frowned.
