Peerless Taoist

After everyone who entered the Yellow Millet Dream got used to their identities, they began to plan.    

After all, those who could enter the court examinations were not fools. Everyone knew that there were many examiners outside who wanted to display their talent with all their might.    

However, Lu Yu's performance was too strange!    

"Let's see his performance. I think the evil cultivator is just an excuse for him to withdraw his military power. I don't know what he is going to do with his military power."    

"Yes, this person is after all the number one in both the civil and military rankings. He should be extraordinary."    

The examiners exchanged words with each other. Apart from some ill-tempered imperial censors, the others chose to silently watch from the sidelines.    

After all, the Golden Millet Dream had a year's time. Now was only the beginning, and it was not the time to truly determine the victor.    

...    

Noon.    

Spiritual State, Xiangshui Building.    

Lu Yu left the government office and arrived at the restaurant in casual clothes.    

The registrar had already made arrangements. The entire Xiangshui Building had already been booked, and the registrar was already waiting outside.    

"Sir, Sword Master Qing Mu and Daoist Tongtian are here, but the manager of Tian Yuan Chamber of Commerce said he is sick and bedridden. He really can't attend the banquet." The registrar said helplessly.    

Lu Yu frowned, but he still maintained his composure and said faintly, "Alright, I understand."    

On the top floor of Xiangshui Building, in a luxuriously decorated private room, the two sect leaders had been waiting there for a long time.    

"Greetings, Prefecture Overseer!"    

Seeing Lu Yu enter, the two Master cupped their hands together and smiled.    

One of the old men had white hair and a thin body. However, his eyes contained a bright sword intent that made people not dare to look at him directly. The other person was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a Daoist robe and had a faint smile on his face. He had an unfathomable look on his face.    

These two people were Master, one of the two great sects in the Spirit Province Prefecture City!    

Not all sects would choose to build their mountain gates in high and remote places. Some sects mainly relied on their inheritances, and by sitting in the city, they would be able to better recruit disciples to strengthen their own strength.    

"Today is New Year's Eve, and I feel bad for calling all of you here." Lu Yu said with a faint smile.    

After some small talk, the Greenwood Sword Master still voiced his confusion. "Prefecture Overseer, what did you call us here for?"    

It wasn't just him, Daoist Tongtian's eyes were also flickering with caution. He didn't know what Lu Yu was up to.    

"Oh, about this."    

A kind smile appeared on Lu Yu's face. "Both of you should know. I have been in the position of Prefecture Overseer for too long. I don't know how hard it will be for me to climb up."    

Lu Yu personally poured wine for the two Master as he spoke.    

"In a few days, the people from the Merit Department of the Ministry of Personnel will be patrolling the area. At this time, I would like to ask the two of you to restrain the disciples in the sect and not cause too big of a conflict. I would like to thank the two of you."    

As soon as these words left his mouth, the originally grim atmosphere instantly dissipated. A look of relief flashed across the eyes of Sword Master Qing Mu and Daoist Tong Tian.    

"So that's how it is. The Lord has always taken care of us, so of course we will help you."    

"That's right. Don't worry, I will naturally restrict the disciples of the sect. During this period of time, they will all go into seclusion to cultivate, and no one is allowed to run out!"    

Both of them patted their chests and promised Lu Yu.
