"I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. It's already the end of the morning hour." Luo Xueqing is used to practicing hard. She rarely rests and even meditates at night.

Even if I feel sleepy sometimes, I will get up before dawn to do morning exercises.

But today, when she woke up, it was already late, which made the future female swordsman feel guilty. It seemed like she had wasted a good time of the day.

As for Zhao Mengyao, she didn't have such thoughts. She usually practiced casually. She practiced when she wanted to, and could lie in bed all day when she didn't want to.

Well, in a sense, the two sisters had practiced almost all night last night. It was just that their waists were hurting too much. Even now, they could both feel the pain coming from their waists.

"I've only slept for more than an hour and haven't rested enough. Now I feel like my body is about to fall apart." Zhao Mengyao said, her face turning red unconsciously.

She wasn't the only one who embarrassed herself last night; she also saw her senior sister embarrassed herself. Now, neither of them should say they were good enough; the two of them were completely the same.

Luo Xueqing was also reminded of those shameful memories, and her legs suddenly went weak.

At first she was very resistant to being together like this...

But throughout the whole process, her senses were stimulated like never before, and it seemed more interesting than when she endured it alone.

When she realized that she had such thoughts, she thought for a moment that her brain was broken.

But seeing that Zhao Mengyao was so arrogant on weekdays, but turned out to be just a rookie, and seeing her defense break down time and time again, Luo Xueqing felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in her heart.

Then she felt that such a thing was not unacceptable.

The two of them supported each other and came to the restaurant. Zhao Kangping got up early and started working here.

When they arrived, they saw the loving breakfast Master had prepared for them. There were three breakfast items on the table, all the same: preserved egg and lean meat porridge, fried dough sticks, meat buns, and a fried egg.

Zhao Kangping was already sitting there, scrolling through the communication jade slip.

"Master." The two greeted him in unison.

Zhao Kangping was very relieved that the two of them did not quarrel when they woke up in the morning.

This is probably a good start.

Better keep it up.

Zhao Kangping was very worried about whether this pair of sisters would break up.

In a sense, the two sisters can be said to have fought side by side and shared the joys and sorrows.

Zhao Kangping raised his head and nodded, "Let's eat."

He was like the head of this family, with unshakable majesty in front of his two beautiful disciples.

After hearing this, they all found their seats and sat down.

While eating, the two beauties lowered their heads and savored the food attentively.

"The porridge made by Master is so delicious. Can you teach me how to make it in the future?" After taking a bite, Luo Xueqing felt that all the fatigue in her body disappeared.

The eldest disciple's talent in cultivation was impeccable. If it was a set of sword techniques, she could master it in a very short time.

But cooking is really her weakness.

In mortal families, women usually cook, but she, as the master's wife, had made no progress in cooking. This made her feel that she had failed in her duty.

Whether from the perspective of a wife or a fellow Taoist, they should take care of him. But the reality is the other way around. Master has always taken good care of them both.

So she really wanted to learn some cooking knowledge from her master.

Of course, this is also a good reason to get closer to Master.

"Well, I can teach you when I have time." Zhao Kangping said gently.

Zhao Mengyao, who was standing by, stuffed a large bun into her mouth. Before she even finished chewing, she said, "I want to learn too."

In fact, Zhao Mengyao had learned some cooking skills from her master before, and she had put some effort into this area, so she actually had a certain foundation.

But how could she not understand her senior sister's thoughts, so she wanted to get involved too.

During breakfast, they seemed like a family of three, chatting warmly.

The fact that the two of them could eat at the same table without any quarrels was already a good sign.

As long as the two sisters don't quarrel or make trouble, this family still has hope. Zhao Kangping couldn't help but look forward to a bright future.

He does not like disputes and has no great ambitions.

He didn't yearn for greatness like many other monks. What he wanted most was to live happily with his family.

Perhaps under the influence of their common master and the fact that they both deeply loved men, the gap between the two sisters gradually began to disappear.

Of course, it is impossible for the two girls to become as close as sisters all at once. It requires a gradual process, and Zhao Kangping is happy to promote this trend.

After a while, they finished their meal and then cleaned up the dishes together, chatting and laughing.

The day of the city lord's succession ceremony is getting closer, and Zhao Kangping has to pay more attention to this important matter.

On this day, he also wanted to listen to Dongfang Jingrou's report on this matter.

It was not long before the agreed time, so Zhao Kangping prepared to go over.

The two beloved disciples also followed along, but they each held one of Zhao Kangping's arms on the left and right, like two clingy people.

They always exude two different styles of female body fragrance, one is fresh and elegant, the other is charming and seductive.

The two women's exquisite curves are also the best among female cultivators of the same age. The soft touch makes Zhao stay alert all the time, and he feels that it is difficult to bear.

It would have been fine if no one had seen them walking together so intimately, but unfortunately, they met the fourth person not long after they walked.

Dongfang Jingrou came over from another courtyard and saw the three masters and apprentices clinging together like conjoined twins, their behavior seemingly quite intimate. Her face immediately hardened, and she looked serious and solemn.

"Ahem, Lord City Lord, why did you come here just now? I was just about to look for you." She spoke in a businesslike tone, obviously in working mode.

When she is serious, she looks a little fierce. Many people who are not familiar with her would probably be scared by her appearance and dare not approach her.

However, after Zhao Kangping experienced the other party's tenderness, he realized that this was just her protective color.

Dongfang Jingrou's beautiful eyes reflected Zhao Kangping holding his two disciples' slender waists. This was not something a proper male master should do to his female disciples.

She had long known that the three masters and apprentices had a close relationship, but how could they be so blatant?

Luo Xueqing also noticed that Dongfang Jingrou seemed to be sizing them up. She also noticed the complex emotions hidden in the eyes of the newly appointed City Lord's Mansion steward.

She seemed to be very concerned about their behavior with the Master.

Luo Xueqing felt a little embarrassed being stared at, and she tried to push her master's hand away, but not only did he not let go, he deliberately held her tighter.

Zhao Mengyao on the other side was just the opposite. She took the initiative to lean her head on her master's shoulder and rubbed it with her cheek, as if she was deliberately showing off her relationship with her master.

Zhao Kangping didn't care at all. He didn't show any familiarity with Dongfang Jingrou. Instead, he pretended to be unfamiliar and said, "Oh, that's perfect. Steward Dongfang, please lead the way. Let's go to the meeting place together."

In fact, he shouldn't call the other party the steward anymore.

This title originated from her former identity as the chief steward of the Holy Lord's Palace, but she is no longer the chief steward of the Holy Lord's Palace.

However, it is normal that this name cannot be changed in a short time.

Although there were few people in the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Kangping was still very close to his female disciples. Dongfang Jingrou frowned slightly at this and kindly reminded them, "City Lord, this is not appropriate. If others see it, it will have a very bad impact."

Zhao Kangping listened to it a little, but he just changed it to holding his disciples' hands, which was probably not as ambiguous as hugging their waists.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Jingrou opened her mouth. She obviously wanted to say something else, but she held it back.

How could there be a wicked master who would attack his own female disciple and do it openly?

I am such a despicable person. Why should I remind him? I wish he would be discovered by others and let the whole world despise him.

Even though she was thinking this, she reminded him, "My two junior sisters will also be participating in the meeting later. How are you going to introduce them?"

Her words naturally had a specific meaning.

Previously, the two junior sisters affectionately called him brother-in-law, but after returning here, Dongfang Jingrou told them the truth.

It turned out that they had not yet become Dao companions, but had merely expressed such an intention.

At that time, Mei Ruoxue even muttered in a classic way: "Ah? Why does it sound like a lover?"

Hearing Junior Sister Mei mumbling to herself, Dongfang Jingrou really wanted to give her a smack on the head.

But there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what she said.

Is my situation that much different from that of a secret lover?

"Okay, I got it." Zhao Kangping reluctantly let go of his disciples' hands, took a big step forward, and put some distance between himself and his disciples.

Luo Xueqing was fine; she didn't react, but simply cooperated and distanced herself from Zhao Kangping. She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for her master, so she could understand why she was asked to maintain a normal distance from her master when others were around.

Zhao Mengyao, on the other hand, was a little unhappy, and her displeasure was written all over her face. She even glanced at Dongfang Jingrou with a particularly unhappy look, and then looked away.

The second disciple does not hide his emotions. Whether he is happy or unhappy, you can tell at a glance.

Being disturbed, she immediately felt that Dongfang Jingrou was annoying.

However, Dongfang Jingrou didn't care about his dislike. She was much older than his two disciples, and she just treated them as juniors.

As an elder, she would not argue with the younger ones.

Next, the four of them walked to the conference hall in silence.

In the conference room, Mei Ruoxue and Tian Dieer were chatting. They stopped talking when someone came in from outside.

Seeing that it was Zhao Kangping who came, they both stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Sister...ah, no, it's Master. Is the meeting about to start?" Mei Ruoxue said a little rashly.

As a result, Dongfang Jingrou immediately glared at her, and the latter quickly covered her mouth.

Fortunately, this small detail did not attract the attention of the two disciples.

"They are my two junior sisters in Wanghe Sect. I plan to let them be my assistants in the future. Lord City Lord, what do you think?" Dongfang Jingrou first introduced them to Zhao Kangping's two disciples, and then said to Zhao Kangping.

In fact, this is a backdoor, allowing such an inexperienced person to take up a position in the government without an interview.

But Zhao Kangping had no objection to this. He just waved his hand and said, "You don't need to ask me about this. Just make your own decision."

He then continued, "There are fewer people in the City Lord's Mansion right now, and things are simple. When Steward Dongfang is handling some matters, you don't have to report to me. Just handle them directly. I know your abilities."

As a subordinate, you must be very happy to have such trust from your boss.

But Dongfang Jingrou always felt that he wanted to be a hands-off boss and push all the things to her.

She did hear that when the Holy Lord arranged for her to come here, he wanted her to take on more responsibilities, but she didn't want to spoil this man, lest someone say she was abusing her power.

Dongfang Jingrou didn't dwell on this issue too much, as she would have plenty of opportunities to talk to him about it in the future.

The meeting started soon.

Zhao Kangping is the new mayor of Chuanliu City. He must be sitting in the main seat, but why are his two apprentices sitting on his left and right sides?

Dongfang Jingrou originally had a seat, but she insisted on taking out some documents and standing to the side of the conference table.

"The succession ceremony will be held at noon on the 12th of next month, which is about twenty days away."

"I've already sent out the invitations. Every prominent family and individual in River City has one. This includes the five major families."

"But the people from the five major families are likely to interfere. I suspect they might not send anyone to show their support, or they might send some unimportant people. The people from other smaller families might be afraid to come due to their tyranny."

Having said this, the woman paused and looked at Zhao Kangping.

Someone from one of the five major families happened to be in charge of the Holy Land's financial allocations, organizing various events, ceremonies, and other publicity work. As long as they refused to cooperate, Zhao Kangping's succession ceremony might not be able to be held in a grand manner.

But all this is not the worst. Without their assistance, the ceremony can at most be more frugal.

However, if the five major families mobilized their power to obstruct this ceremony, even if they just did not send anyone to support it and told people from other small families or small forces not to come, it would shake the authority of the new city lord.

Just imagine, not many people came to support him, which in a sense means that not many people recognize his identity as the city lord.

If this situation is allowed, most people in the city will look down on him as the new city lord.

Zhao Kangping thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, I'm not afraid of that. Inviting these people is nothing more than building momentum for me to become the city lord."

"We shouldn't just focus on these people in River City."

"I still have some connections in the Holy Land. Although they are not many, I can still gather some important people."

"In addition, I have also invited some business leaders from the Thousand Merchants Alliance to attend my succession ceremony. They are not from Chuanliu City, nor will they be restricted by the five major families."

Zhao Kangping had thought of this when he first fled to Fuxian City. Qin Lingxuan owed him a favor, and she would definitely repay it.

Perhaps his succession ceremony will not be as lively as those of previous city lords, but it will certainly not be dull.

However, Zhao Kangping still felt uneasy. If possible, he would have to find an opportunity to discipline those large families and further weaken their influence.

"Okay, since you have made arrangements, that would be great." In fact, when Zhao Kangping went to Fuxian City, she was still worried that the other party wanted to go on a public-funded tour. If he could really invite those people, it would mean that he had some ability.
