The Extreme Princess

In the hall, many diners were chatting and bragging, but few mentioned the fight for the position of city lord.

After eating and drinking, Gu Yue and the others were too lazy to listen to their dirty talk and called the waiter.

"My dear guests, are you satisfied with the food?"

There was a hint of surprise in the waiter's eyes. The food he served to the two of them was more than enough for a table of ten people, but it was eaten up by Gu Yue and the other two women without leaving anything.

Although he was a waiter in a restaurant, his professionalism was among the best in the whole Donghua City, and he quickly put away the disrespectful look in his eyes.

Gu Yue put away her lazy attitude and asked, "I heard that Donghua City suffered a disaster not long ago, and even the city lord lost his life?"

"You are talking about City Lord Qin!"

Hearing Gu Yue's question, the waiter's eyes dimmed a little, "City Lord Qin is a character. In order to protect Donghua City, under the infiltration of evil cultivators, he chose to endure humiliation and spent all his savings to ask the Blood Blade Tavern to take action. He himself ended up dying. Alas..."

Yuan Lu murmured: "This City Lord Qin is really righteous..."

"Who says it isn't?"

The guy sighed.

"City Lord Qin has passed away. Donghua City should need a new city lord now, right? Why haven't I heard anyone mention it?"

Gu Yue asked doubtfully.

Such a big thing should have attracted the attention and discussion of the whole city.

She and Yuan Lu had not heard a single word of discussion about the matter since they had entered the city.

The guy looked outside the door cautiously, looking embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Yue took out a silver note with a face value of 100 taels from her bosom and said, "After you pay the bill, the rest is yours."

When the banknotes were placed on the table, there was an obvious flash of desire in the waiter's eyes.

The clerk struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know much either. The various forces on the mountain are still discussing the succession of the city lord. Very little news has been heard. Even many people in Donghua City don't know that Master Qin has passed away, so there are naturally fewer discussions..."

Gu Yue nodded slightly, "Do you know that besides the people from the City Lord's Mansion, there are also outsiders participating in the fight for the position of City Lord?"

The guy was embarrassed and said, "I don't know. This kind of information is not something we can just find out casually."

"Then tell us about the overall power distribution in Donghua City. You are familiar with this, right?"

Yuan Lu asked.

The waiter nodded quickly, looked at the banknote on the table, and hope appeared in his eyes again.

"The first ones that are connected to Donghua City are the sects on the five mountains. They are the real residences of immortals..."

Expected.

Gu Yue nodded.

A big city has a large population, and the city lord's mansion alone cannot provide protection. The participation of the sect is needed.

The fresh blood of the sect usually comes from the big city to which it belongs.

The two parties are in a cooperative relationship.

The waiter continued, "There are ten sects and thirty families in Donghua City, but many of these sects and families were previously controlled by... those people. Now there are only three sects and six families left, which leaves a large space..."

"According to what I heard, if you want to secure your position as city lord, you must gain the support of the sects on the five mountains!"

Gu Yue sneered, "When Donghua City was in great trouble, they didn't come to its rescue immediately. Whoever sits on the position of city lord now needs their approval?"

As soon as these words came out, the waiter was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said with a sad face: "Sir, please...be careful with your words!"

Gu Yue curled her lips, "Is their explanation that the incident happened too suddenly? By the time the sect reacted and arrived, the battle was already over?"

The waiter's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he replied with a sad face: "Sir, even if you give me ten thousand taels of silver, I dare not say anything bad about the Immortal Master..."

Yuan Lu shook her head helplessly, and suddenly her eyes swept across the street outside the window, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Gu Yue noticed something and reached out to gently pat the kitten in her arms.

Taixu Lingdiao immediately understood, moved slightly, and quietly got out of the restaurant's private room.

After Taixu Lingdiao left, Gu Yue stopped arguing with the waiter about the previous matter and asked, "So, the remaining three sects and six families in Donghua City have basically lost their voice?"

The waiter whispered, "That's not the case, because these three sects and six families did not participate in the previous tragedy, and now their status in Donghua City is slightly rising!"

"And I also heard that the Divine Will Sect, the Blood Sword Sect, and three other large families almost emptied out their savings over the years and gave them all to City Lord Qin, hoping that the Blood Blade Tavern would send more people to help..."

Gu Yue was thoughtful.

The actions of the Tiansha Sect have screened the forces within Donghua City.

Regardless of whether the situation the guy said at the end is true or not, the remaining three sects and six major families should not have any problems...

After a brief thought, Gu Yue pointed to the banknotes on the table and said, "I want one of your rooms. I'll pay you separately when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

The clerk took the banknote with surprise.

With this money, plus the savings he has accumulated over the years, he can start his own business in Donghua City and no longer have to beg for a living from others!

This was also the reason why he gritted his teeth and did not leave even when Gu Yue said disrespectful words about the five major sects.

...

"How credible are your words?"

In Room No. 1 of the restaurant, after the waiter left, a barrier slowly emerged.

Gu Yue pondered and said, "People who make a living in restaurants and inns are the best at observing people's expressions. They dare not say anything nonsense when facing people they can't afford to offend!"

Although people die for money.

But if people know that it is money that they have to take but will not spend, most people would not dare to touch it.

Yuan Lu nodded.

Then Gu Yue and the other person quickly changed into dark clothes and rushed out of the restaurant through the window.

Following the scent left by Taixu Lingdiao, the two quickly locked onto an ancient mansion not far from the restaurant.

"Meow..."

The two of them hid themselves on a roof not far from the mansion, and at this time Taixu Lingdiao, who had transformed into a kitten, also came out from the side.

"Is there a magic circle in the mansion?"

Gu Yue asked softly.

"Meow!"

Taixu Lingdiao nodded.

"Junior sister, it is better to be careful in the city."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister!"

Gu Yue kept looking at the layout of the mansion. "If things can't be done, wait until the matter of Donghua City is resolved, and then go and trouble them."

Yuan Lu nodded and then stopped talking.

"Daji, set up a concealment formation for Senior Sister, and then take me in!"

Gu Yue patted Taixu Lingdiao's head.

"Meow..."

Taixu Lingdiao responded, and soon Yuan Lu's figure completely disappeared from Gu Yue's sight.

Then Taixu Lingdiao turned around to look at Gu Yue and ran to a corner of the mansion.
