Seven-star Sword Master

Under the leadership of Zhang San and Li Si, Lu Feipeng entered the city through a special passage amid the strange gazes of the crowd.

The three of them chatted along the way and soon arrived in front of a solemn and ancient gate.

On the plaque above the gate are three large characters carved in a flamboyant style: "Xunchasi"

There were two guards guarding the door on each side.

"Brother Lu, this is our Inspection Department."

The three of them stopped a few feet away from the Inspection Office, and Lu Feipeng looked into the yard through the gate.

The buildings inside were ordinary and unremarkable, and were completely different from the tall, towering and eye-catching scenes that Lu Feipeng had imagined before.

With a building like this, let alone the headquarters of the Inspection Office, I'm afraid some people would believe it even if you said it was a poor family's.

After all, such buildings are like slums in Ningtai Township, which is full of tall buildings and magnificent architecture.

"How about it, Brother Lu, are you surprised now?"

Zhang San seemed to have anticipated this. When Lu Feipeng's expression changed slightly, he had already guessed what Lu Feipeng was thinking.

"Ok?"

After hearing what Zhang San said, Lu Feipeng came back to his senses and nodded silently:

"It's really a surprise."

Li Si laughed heartily and then said:

"Hahaha, Lu Feipeng will know this later. Let's go in first. I wonder if Lord Liu is in the Inspection Office right now."

"Lao Zhang, Lao Li, you are back. Who is this little brother?"

When passing through the gate, several guards on the side greeted Zhang San and Li Si, and asked about Lu Feipeng's background. It can be seen that they seem to be very familiar with each other.

I only heard Zhang Sanchao introduce to a few people:

"Brother Hu, this is Brother Lu Feipeng from Sanjia Village. He is here to look for Master Liu. I wonder if Master Liu is in the Si Mansion today?"

The man named Lao Hu even glanced at Lu Feipeng:

"Hello, Brother Lu. You came at an unfortunate time. Lord Liu went out this morning and I don't know how he will get back."

“Oh, I see!”

Lu Feipeng didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Liu Xiangyang was not in the Inspection Office, but he immediately thought of someone, so he asked the man named Lao Hu:

"Brother Hu, do you know Ma Jinbao? Is he in Si Mansion?"

"Huh? Brother Lu actually knows Brother Ma Jinma. Brother Ma is on duty today and is in the Si Mansion. Let Lao Zhang and the others take you there."

From Old Hu, we can learn that Ma Jinbao seems to be very special in the Inspection Department. After all, it is very extraordinary to be called "Brother Ma" by a middle-aged man.

On the way, Zhang San asked Lu Feipeng how he knew Ma Ge'er, and Lu Feipeng just said that they had done missions together.

Hearing the three words "Ma Ge'er" from Lao Zhang again, he became more certain of the guess in his mind.

So Lu Feipeng calmly asked Zhang San about Ma Jinbao.

"Brother Zhang, do you know what position Ma Jinbao holds in the Si Mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang San and Li Si looked around quickly. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang looked at Lu Feipeng and whispered:

"Brother Lu, this is your first time in Ningtai Township and you may not know that Brother Ma is Lord Liu's confidant. Generally, if there are any small matters, Brother Ma does not need to report to Lord Liu, and he has the power to make the decision directly."

"Captain Lu, why are you here?"

Ma Jinbao was very surprised to see Lu Feipeng in the Inspection Office so soon.

"Brother Ma, it's been a while since we last met. I hope you are doing well."

Lu Feipeng smiled and bowed to Ma Jinbao.

"Hahaha, last time I had something to do, I was unable to say goodbye to Captain Lu when I left. I felt sorry for a long time. I didn't expect Captain Lu to come to Ningtai Township today."

After saying this, Ma Jinbao thanked Zhang San and Li Si:

"Lao Zhang and Lao Li, thank you for sending Captain Lu here this time. Captain Lu is my friend. You guys go and do your work. Leave this to me."

The two were too busy to dare to leave, so they made an excuse that they had other things to take care of, and left in a hurry.

"Captain Lu, please sit inside."

Soon, under the guidance of Ma Jinbao, Lu Feipeng followed him into a study.

After Lu Feipeng sat down, Ma Jinbao asked Lu Feipeng:

"Captain Lu is here to join the Inspection Department, right? Lord Liu told me about this before.

Didn't Captain Lu say that he would not join the Inspection Division until after the autumn harvest? Could it be that the rice harvest in Sanjia Village has been completed so soon? "

"Well, the rice was all harvested yesterday. All that's left is threshing and drying. I came here because I had nothing else to do."

Ma Jinbao just asked politely and then went straight to the point:

"Well, Captain Lu, you came at a bad time. Lord Liu is out of town, but I will help you pay the fees to join the Inspection Department."

After saying this, Ma Jinbao shouted loudly:

"Somebody come!"

The next moment, a minor official came running in, clasped his fists towards Ma Jinbao and said:

"I am here, please give me your orders, sir."

"Have someone go to the backyard and clean up the area next to mine."

After the clerk left, Ma Jinbao said to Lu Feipeng:

"Captain Lu, I'll take you to handle the formalities."

"it is good."

The two of them left the study.

"Captain Lu, is my uncle okay?"

There was nothing to do on the way, and Ma Jinbao wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Feipeng, so he asked Lu Feipeng about the matters of Sanjia Village.

The distance between the two was natural, so Ma Chengyou acted as a bridge between them. Moreover, the two already knew each other, and soon the relationship between them was rapidly shortened.

The two of them stopped in front of a building, and Ma Jinbao introduced Lu Feipeng:

"Brother Lu is here, this is the guard who manages the logistics of the Si Mansion."

While Ma Jinbao was introducing Lu Feipeng, several people were jogging out of the building.

Among them was a middle-aged fat man with a fat head and big ears. His fat flesh trembled as he ran. He shouted breathlessly towards them as he ran:

"Oh, what wind is blowing... Master Ma here?"

In just a short while, the fat man was sweating profusely.

"Brother Zhou, you are too polite. I will help Brother Lu with the entry procedures."

Ma Jinbao said this while pointing to Lu Feipeng beside him.

"Oh, Master Ma, if you need to tell us about this, we can go there. Why would you bother to go there in person?"

Fatty Zhou looked at Lu Feipeng in surprise. It seemed that this guy was not ordinary, and he could make Ma Jinbao come here in person. So he greeted Lu Feipeng:

"Brother Lu."

Soon, the two of them were welcomed into the hall by the fat man.

Perhaps knowing that Ma Jinbao had other things to do, the fat man surnamed Zhou did not exchange pleasantries. Instead, he politely greeted Lu Feipeng and asked about his clothing size.

Not long after, a minor official came with several sets of robes specially made for the Inspection Office.

Then Ma Jinbao personally took Lu Feipeng to the armory and asked Lu Feipeng to choose a second-level magic weapon.

It should be noted that the news of Lu Feipeng's breakthrough to the Spiritual Liquid Realm has been delayed due to the autumn harvest. At this time, Ma Chengyou has not yet informed the Inspection Department of his breakthrough to the Spiritual Liquid Realm.

The reason why he was able to choose a second-level magic weapon was because Ma Jinbao brought him here personally.

In order to please Ma Jinbao, Fatty Zhou specially prepared a special meal for Lu Feipeng.

Lu Feipeng couldn't let go of the knife in his hand. This knife was considered one of the best among the second-level magic weapons.

"The sword technique I practice is called Seven Stars. Let's also name you Seven Stars. From now on, all my swords will be called Seven Stars."

"Brother Lu, everyone who joins the Inspection Department must swear an oath. This is the oath."

After knowing that everything was done, Fatty Zhou shyly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lu Feipeng.

Lu Feipeng glanced at Ma Jinbao and saw Ma Jinbao nod slightly at him, then he reached out and took the note.

After reading it once, Lu Feipeng roughly understood the purpose of this note. After understanding it, Lu Feipeng said nothing, raised his hand to the sky, put three fingers together and swore to the sky:

"I, Lu Feipeng, swear to heaven. Today, I, Lu Feipeng, officially join the Inspection Department. I swear that as long as I am in the Inspection Department, I, Lu Feipeng, will never do anything that will harm the Inspection Department... If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning!"

The oath is very simple and the requirements are very relaxed. As long as you don't betray the Inspection Office or defect to monsters and demons, you will be fine.

Basically, it can be said that there is no binding force.

When leaving, Fatty Zhou was reluctant to leave and kept telling Ma Jinbao to give him a chance to perform and that he would treat Ma Jinbao to a drink.

It is usually difficult to say a few words to this Lord Ma, but now that Ma Jinbao has come to the door, if Fatty Zhou doesn't seize the opportunity, he would be as stupid as a pig.

Seeing that Fatty Zhou was so enthusiastic, and because of his own relationship, Fatty Zhou did open many convenient doors for Lu Feipeng. Ma Jinbao was really embarrassed to refuse Fatty Zhou's invitation.

Ma Jinbao then hesitated for a while before speaking to Fatty Zhou:

"I was originally planning to host a welcoming party for Brother Lu tonight. Now that you said so, Brother Zhou, the task of hosting a welcoming party for Brother Lu tonight will be handed over to you."

Seeing that Ma Jinbao agreed to his invitation, Fatty Zhou was overjoyed. He was afraid that Ma Jinbao would regret it, so he quickly agreed:

"Okay, Master Ma. I will be waiting for you and Brother Lu to come to Zui Xiang Lou tonight."

After doing all this, Ma Jinbao personally took Lu Feipeng to the residence assigned to him.

On the way, Lu Feipeng asked Ma Jinbao about Fatty Zhou's origins.

I learned that Fatty Zhou's family is a prominent family in Ningtai Township. However, since the Zhou family became rich late, Fatty Zhou's generation is only the second generation, so their strength is not that good.

Ma Jinbao thought that the reason why Fatty Zhou treated him like this was that he wanted him to take care of him.

As they chatted, they arrived at the backyard of Si's mansion.

Ma Jinbao pointed to a yard and said:

"Brother Lu, this will be your residence from now on. The one next to it is mine."
