For example, he considered the people who came to the auction house but did not conduct proper diversion, or he assigned people to serve the elite personnel without conducting any prior inspections before taking office and opening the shop.

The people of Licheng were indeed protected by her, but a city is bound to be a mixed bag. What if someone had a conflict with the people sent by that city and made an unfavorable move, or if a merchant had a precedent of selling fake goods, and then when other cities came, it would have an impact.

With this in mind, Keqing arranged for people to observe and investigate the people who were placed in the floating palace, to check their past experiences and see if they had any bad deeds. Then, she sent some people to act as staff members, deliberately inducing them to communicate and explore the truth behind it.

Is there anything wrong?

As expected, several people who were selling fake goods with bad intentions were caught. Some of them were scammers, while others were sent by other cities specifically to destroy their image.

Some of the arranged staff actually had deep hatreds and were suspected to have hatred or jealousy towards a certain city. When they heard that Li City seemed to have a big move and many noble families would come, they came to act as service staff, seemingly intending to poison and launch a sneak attack.

"As expected, they are getting restless... Why did they have to poison here?"

Keqing sighed, she knew that her deep hatred was her own personal matter.

But it is not okay to cause trouble on your own territory and damage your image.

Besides, how could these people think that the children of noble families would not have any treasures or magical tools to protect themselves, and that there would be no defenders around them.

In the final analysis, these independent cultivators are limited by their own knowledge and think that they can succeed as long as they launch a sneak attack or poison someone without being noticed.

Little do people know that there are all kinds of protective magic weapons. Otherwise, why do aristocratic families and big forces have protectors? Once there is the slightest movement, they can sense it in the blink of an eye, and sometimes it's over before they can take action.

Moreover, those noble families are ruthless and will not consider whether you really take action or not. They will take action as long as they sense something unusual.

"Hmm...it seems that we still need to control this. When the time comes, we should try to warn those people not to act recklessly and be careful of being struck by lightning."

After all, some of them were indeed wronged. If they were misunderstood and attacked those aristocratic families, and then died unjustly, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Licheng?

It seems that the rules of the city, that is, the small heavenly rules, can be adjusted in the recent period.

Strike with lightning as soon as they start, instead of waiting until the fight starts. Facing those protectors of the faith and the aristocratic families, taking action only takes a moment, and one's own people have no power to resist.

Of course, there should also be restrictions on our own people, rather than allowing them to go crazy at will.

Keqing thought for a long time, thought of many situations, dealt with those that needed to be dealt with, wrote down the rest on paper and then called Ye Shang.

"My Lord, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Hearing Keqing's message, Ye Shang hurried over.

"How's the communication with the auction house recently?"

Keqing asked.

"Are there any problems recently? Are there any difficulties with the auction house? Do you have any plans for publicity?"

"It went smoothly, Lord City Lord. I chose an auction house with a strong background and friendly relations with us. They said they would mobilize as many connections as possible to build momentum for us. I also notified the people of Li City to not cause trouble."

"The floating city has also opened... Let's warm up the place first, and start selling some luxury items. Others have also started training in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"I know that those disciples from noble families and powerful people are very picky. We will use the best treatment to ensure that they can't find fault and make a lot of money from them. We will also arrange a guard team to ensure that no one will cause trouble."

"Well, you did a good job."

Keqing nodded. She knew what he had done during this period of time.

"But this is not enough..."

"Not enough? Is, is there something wrong?"

Could it be that he had overlooked something? Ye Shang was stunned for a moment until Keqing handed him a piece of paper, on which was clearly written the shortcomings and loopholes of his paragraph, which were dealt with by Keqing, as well as some problems that might arise in the future, both those that had been dealt with and those that had not been dealt with.

Ye Shang suddenly felt a little ashamed. He didn't expect that he had revealed so much.

"Lord City Lord...I..."

"You don't have to feel guilty. This is your first time. It's enough to be able to do this."

Keqing agreed and also said.

“However, as a city lord, there are many aspects to consider. Although this auction is to increase my fame and recruit alchemists, it is also a show of Licheng’s soft power, so that people outside can clearly know the momentum of Licheng. Therefore, whether it is internal or external, we must be strict and try to be perfect.

"I've helped you with some things, and I've marked out some things for you to handle yourself. This way you can gain a lot of experience and improve your shortcomings."

"I know this is your first time as a city lord, so it's normal to have some shortcomings. Don't put pressure on yourself, okay?"

Hearing Keqing's words and deeds, teaching her, and then comforting herself, Ye Shang suddenly felt a sense of willingness to live and die with you, and if you treat me well, I am willing to protect you with my life. "

The city lord is so considerate...

Although the other party does not need him, Ye Shang swore in his heart that during the time when the other party is away, he must protect Licheng well and make Licheng stronger.

"As for the auction house, relying solely on the auction house's connections is a bit weak. If we want efficiency and maximum income, we still need to have multiple channels."

Keqing paused and continued.

"But you don't have to worry about this. I'll help you promote it."

"City Lord...are you going to leave the city!?"

Ye Shang was stunned.

"How could that be? Not really. If I leave, you won't be too busy." Keqing smiled and reminded, "Have you forgotten our allies?"

Ye Shang's eyes lit up.

"You mean..."

"After all, they are allies. How can we not give them some inside information about such a good longevity elixir? Besides, these cities have always been intermarrying with each other. Word of mouth will spread naturally by then."

"But... although just one longevity pill can definitely attract other people, isn't it a little too thin?"

"Although many powerful forces will come by then, they will all come for the longevity pills and have no interest in the auction house. If they just wait for the last day of the auction, then wouldn't that be..."

"Well, that's a problem. If we stay at home for the first few days of the auction, how can we increase consumption?"

After thinking about it, Keqing suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have any good things. Apart from the elixir, there seemed to be nothing else. This was a bit troublesome.

The auction house would indeed prepare items comparable to the Longevity Pill for bidding, but they would certainly not be very attractive to those big cities.

But the people coming from these big cities are the richest group.

After thinking about it, Keqing's expression became complicated. It seemed that she could only set her sights on Sister Yuehu and Senior Yunxin.

"I'll ask the two seniors about this matter. They should have some good stuff. You don't have to worry about that."

After hearing what Keqing said, Ye Shang knew it was safe.

In those future memories that have not yet faded, she remembered that these two really had a lot of good things!

There are plenty of natural treasures.

After getting a definite answer, Ye Shang left.

But Keqing was a little conflicted.

With the storage of the two True Lords over the years plus so many spoils of war, I believe there will be a lot of things that will be enviable.

After all, the beastmen and humans are different. The spoils of war of the human true lords are useless to the beastmen but very attractive to the human race.

For example, doesn’t Sister Yuehu have the longevity water?

I'm afraid there aren't many of these good things in the big cities.

But, if I ask them for it myself, I will have to trouble them again.

Well……

There is no way, who made her poor?

Thinking of this, Keqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Did she treat Sister Yuehu as a treasure chest...

But, who made me have nothing? Many things I can't take out. I can't sell the spiritual veins, small worlds and other things in the space!

Thinking of this, Keqing sent a voice message to Yun Xin for help.

Soon, Senior Yun Xin came back and said that he would select some of the stock and give it to her for auction.

Keqing's face lit up with joy, as for Sister Yuehu.

Keqing was a little hesitant, mostly because she felt embarrassed.

As she was looking at the sound transmission talisman in her hand and considering whether to transmit the message, suddenly a ball of light flew in from outside at the right time.

The ball of light came suddenly, and there was no sound transmission, but Keqing found that there was a storage pendant inside. She scanned it with her spiritual sense and was surprised.

Inside is a plethora of natural treasures, just like the treasure house of a large sect, which is dazzling to the eyes.

Randomly she felt a familiar scent from the pendant.

Keqing felt helpless and amused at the same time, she muttered to herself.

"Stupid... doesn't this reveal that you're peeping?!"

What a stupid fox.

A fox:!!!

Thank you for the reward, I will update more!

Thanks to @从天而降小小慕大佬 for 76 spicy strips, four soaps totaling 1 tips and 4 blades, ο(=·ω<=)ρ⌒☆[撩眼]

It's been a while since anyone gave the author a tip, I forgot about it, but tips can lead to more chapters, so today I'll add 2 words! φ(>ω<*)

I specially posted a chapter to express my gratitude~

In the following week, we will continue to update no less than 12,000 words every day~(><)☆

I also want to thank the other cute little blades~ I love you~, I can only add more chapters silently to show my gratitude

It is also possible that I am on vacation and the chapter modifications are blocked and no one will review them. You can join the group and ask me for them. The Hedgehog Cat review is too strict... The group number is pinned at the top of the book review area.

Chapter 849 This little girl is really calculating (1.1w)

Hearing Keqing's low murmurs, a certain fox felt angry and ashamed.

You didn't set up a soundproof barrier yourself, so why do you blame me for peeping?

I'm so angry! You just took advantage of the fact that I like you! How dare you call me stupid! !

I am so angry! There is no courtesy to respect the old and love the young at all!

The fox was jumping up and down in the yard, feeling that her hard work had been wasted. She had clearly heard the little fellow's request and immediately prepared her own property to send over, but she was still scolded.

╥﹏╥...

The angry Yue Hu cursed the little bastard, feeling very aggrieved.

However, a ball of light with a familiar aura flew over, and a few words of voice were transmitted along with it.

"Thank you gift from my sister"

Then a lifelike puppet carved from an unknown wood appeared before his eyes.

It is lifelike, as if it were alive, and is palm-sized, just the right size to be held in one hand.

And the person carved on it is exactly himself.

Yue Hu was stunned for a moment, then the grievance in her heart disappeared and her face was full of surprise.

“It’s actually a gift!”

I like it so much~

But it would be better if the sculpture was of her.

I completely forgot who said that someone was a bastard because he didn't know how to appreciate a good person.

Keqing is not such an ignorant person. Since the other party is trying to help her, she will naturally express her gratitude and give gifts in return.

Senior Yun Xin gave me some advice.

Helpful elixirs and supplements for unicorns.

She could see that compared to spirit stones, the other party cared more about his younger generations, so he sent them a lot of special elixirs, such as Illusion Pills, Forget Eye Pills, and so on.

As for sister Yuehu, Keqing originally wanted to give her some good things. She thought carefully about what the other party liked, but she suddenly discovered that it seemed to be herself.

I was at a loss for a moment. Finally, I could only think of carving a picture of myself for my senior to express my feelings. But then I suddenly felt that it was not right to send myself away. It felt like I was giving myself as a gift to someone else. So I changed my mind and carved the other person's appearance.

Of course, Keqing didn't give an ordinary sculpture as a gift. The wood used for this sculpture was special, coming from the Jianmu in her own space.

Speaking of Jianmu, the Jianmu in her own space is essentially illusory with spirit but no form. However, Keqing recently discovered that as the space expanded, some of the tip branches of the illusory Jianmu actually condensed into shape and became solid. Although they are only about the size of an arm, they are indeed real entities.

So she took a small piece to use as a carving log as a gift.

She wanted to take more, but unfortunately there was only so much, and after being cut, the missing section turned into a phantom. Keqing also felt that the spiritual energy in her space had dropped by at least one tenth, but even so she did not regret it.
