“This…”
Xiang Tiannan furrowed his brows, suddenly thinking of another matter.
“I see now. Those Divine Immortals were killed by Su Yanjin.”
In an instant, Xiang Tiannan understood everything.
However, he soon noticed another detail: Su Yanjin had been imprisoned due to the previous patrol incident.
Jiang Cheng had reported this to him.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.
“Would Su Yanjin hold a grudge?”
Xiang Tiannan was filled with apprehension.
Watching the dozen or so Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts being dealt with, Su Yanjin remained expressionless, as if he had just pinched a circle.
Then, he returned to his post and continued his guard duty.
“Uh, Brother Su, Big Brother Su, the incident of locking you up in the jail had nothing to do with me. It was all Vice State Lord Jiang Cheng’s doing.”
Xiang Tiannan quickly flew over and immediately shifted the blame to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng: ???
Jiang Cheng looked at Xiang Tiannan in disbelief.
Was this still his State Lord?
Was this still his long-time friend?
Jiang Cheng glared at Xiang Tiannan with his eyes.
Xiang Tiannan, however, lifted his head and looked elsewhere, avoiding Jiang Cheng’s gaze.
His wandering eyes seemed to say, isn’t a friend meant to be betrayed?
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng quickly rushed over and tried to shift the blame again.
“Brother Su, Senior Su, let me explain. It was all Zhang Cheng’s doing; it had nothing to do with me.”
“Isn’t that right, Zhang Cheng?”
Jiang Cheng directly looked at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng’s legs went soft, and he fell to the ground.
However, Su Yanjin showed no reaction to all of this.
He remained standing guard, expressionless.
Seeing that Su Yanjin didn’t hold a grudge, the State Lord, Vice State Lord, and Squad Leader Zhang Cheng all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Tiannan seized the opportunity and looked at Su Yanjin with a fawning smile. “Brother Su, with your abilities, guarding the city gate is too much of a waste. How about this? You become the Vice State Lord of our Star Immortal State.”
“You won’t have to handle any affairs as the Vice State Lord, and you won’t have to listen to me.”
“You can play with any of the state’s immortal artifacts.”
“…”
Xiang Tiannan offered various conditions, speaking sincerely to Su Yanjin, his face filled with anticipation as he waited for Su Yanjin’s response.
Because he saw Su Yanjin lift his head, his gaze deep, as if lost in thought.
So, he obediently stood by Su Yanjin’s side, quietly waiting for the outcome.
“Mm.”
After a full quarter of an hour.
Su Yanjin finally spoke.
“Great, Brother Su agreed?” Xiang Tiannan’s face lit up with joy, but Su Yanjin’s next words instantly brought him back to earth.
“Mm, it’s time.”
“I’m off work.”
Su Yanjin said indifferently, taking off his armor and hat before leaving.
“Ugh…”
Xiang Tiannan stood frozen in place.
…
The battle from the previous night.
Had spread throughout the entire Star Immortal State capital before dawn.
This battle resulted in the loss of over a dozen Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts and several Star Immortal Realm experts from the Great Sun Immortal Continent, a feat they dared not even imagine.
With this victory, the morale of the Star Immortal State soared, and they no longer feared the Great Sun Immortal Continent in terms of mid to high-level combat power.
Xiang Tiannan and Jiang Cheng also understood clearly.
As long as Su Yanjin remained in the Star Immortal State, their state would remain safe.
So, before dawn, State Lord Xiang Tiannan and Vice State Lord Jiang Cheng were already waiting here.
“State Lord and Vice State Lord?”
“Both of them have come out and arrived at our little alley. What are they doing?”
“This is truly unprecedented.”
For some merchants and common folk, even though they knew about the previous night’s battle, most didn’t know the specifics. So they watched from a distance, filled with confusion and shock.
However, there were also those in the know, and they quickly explained.
“A powerful expert appeared at the city gate yesterday, single-handedly killing over a dozen Sun and Moon Immortal Realm experts. It’s said that the State Lord has come to recruit this expert.”
One knowledgeable person explained the situation.
In an instant, the crowd surged forward, all wanting to hear the details from this informant.
State Lord Xiang Tiannan and Vice State Lord Jiang Cheng naturally heard this.
But they didn’t intervene.
The war with the Great Sun Immortal Continent hadn’t ended, and with last night’s incident, the capital was already in a state of panic.
Having more people know about the presence of such a powerful expert could stabilize the public’s morale.
“This time, Su Yanjin should be coming out for his walk soon.”
Jiang Cheng looked at Xiang Tiannan and said calmly.
The two of them had already investigated and knew that Su Yanjin would go for a walk at this time.
Sure enough.
As soon as he finished speaking, they saw Su Yanjin.
Instantly, they smiled obsequiously and walked over to Su Yanjin.
“Brother Su, how did you consider yesterday’s offer?”
“Top-tier immortal artifacts, endless resources, and even the position of State Lord, if you want it, I can give it to you directly.”
Xiang Tiannan bowed before Su Yanjin and asked again. As long as Su Yanjin agreed, he would fulfill any condition.
Because with Su Yanjin in the Star Immortal State, the state would be as stable as a mountain.
“Top-tier immortal artifacts, endless resources, and even the position of State Lord. I’m tempted.”
“Heh, do you even deserve it?”
“My goodness, is this the powerful expert? How come he looks like he’s only at the Earth Immortal Realm?”
“You don’t understand. Nowadays, powerful experts like to hide in the mortal world, playing among the common folk.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
“…”
The crowd saw Xiang Tiannan speaking so respectfully to Su Yanjin and began to murmur among themselves.
At this moment.
Master Mu, who had been at home listening to Mu Qianqian’s incessant whining, felt irritable. He had done it all for his daughter’s sake, but she just didn’t understand the reasoning.
Therefore, Master Mu decided to go out for a walk.
Just as he saw the crowded street, he walked over.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
