People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 1034: Chapter 132 Nascent Soul Stage_7

“Deputy City Lord?!”

Zhao Yu was somewhat astonished; he hadn’t expected Yin Zhengyi to return so soon, and to offer him the position of Deputy City Lord the moment he walked in.

Yin Zhengyi spoke earnestly, “I can assure you, as long as you become the Deputy City Lord, there will no longer be a possibility for Shushan to move against you!”

Zhao Yu stroked his chin and then asked, “Then what do I need to give in return?”

Yin Zhengyi continued to explain the responsibilities that the Deputy City Lord must fulfill, and Zhao Yu noticed that taking on an official role would somewhat subject him to others’ control.

“Is there an option with fewer restrictions? I’m accustomed to being free and easy, and I might not adapt well to this sort of thing…”

Hearing this, Yin Zhengyi also realized he had been too optimistic; after all, this was a reincarnated Immortal. How could he possibly stay here long-term?

Jin could not retain him either.

After deep reflection, Yin Zhengyi continued, “I can recruit you in my name as a guest elder for the city lord’s mansion…”

“In this role, if Shushan attempts to trouble you, I can fully shield you, and you won’t need to bear responsibilities from Jin…”

“Then as your guest elder, are there any conditions?” Zhao Yu casually asked.

Yin Zhengyi initially wanted to mention a trivial one but suddenly recalled what Fu Qingyi had said about whether vengeance was possible.

He hesitated for a moment, realizing that missing this opportunity could mean losing it forever.

“To be frank, I have investigated your identity and am aware that you reached Nascent Soul by the age of thirty-five…”

Yin Zhengyi pursed his lips and sighed, “I can confirm that now, Shushan will definitely not continue to pursue you. They might even have already sent someone to bring you back…”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu was momentarily stunned but then quickly understood that the other party’s change in attitude was clearly due to having investigated his situation.

He nodded slightly and then said, “Continue with the conditions for being a guest elder. As for returning to Shushan, I don’t have any thoughts about that…”

After hearing this, Yin Zhengyi was overjoyed, having not expected things to turn out this way; Zhao Yu truly had no desire to return to Shushan.

“Here’s the thing, my teacher was the former Minister of Rites…”

“He was framed by a treacherous man and has died…”

“I want to avenge him!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu asked, “The treacherous man you mentioned, is that the State Preceptor?”

“Yes!!”

Zhao Yu couldn’t help but shake his head. He had previously analyzed the State Preceptor’s situation: if not in the late Nascent Soul Stage, then in the Divinity Transformation Stage, not someone he could confront.

Of course, if he were willing to continue improving his level progress, he could still face him.

But now, with Sun Lele’s warning, he couldn’t rashly continue to enhance his level progress, lest he attract unwanted attention.

“Forgive me, I am powerless…”

“Fellow daoist, I am not asking you to seek revenge now…” Yin Zhengyi hastily said, “I hope that in the future, if your strength is sufficient and circumstances permit, you could help me take revenge and eliminate the calamitous State Preceptor…”

“Hmm?”

Zhao Yu was taken aback, “The State Preceptor is a woman?”

“You didn’t know?!” Yin Zhengyi was astounded, then explained, “It is said that the State Preceptor is stunningly beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world, which led the king to become infatuated and foolish beyond measure…”

“…”

“Alright then!”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, “Then it’s a deal. If in the future my strength is sufficient, I can act on your behalf for revenge, correct?”

“Many thanks!”

Yin Zhengyi performed a formal bow, then handed Zhao Yu a token, “This is the token for the guest elder of the city lord’s mansion. With it, you can come and go as you please, and you can also show it to other people from Jin…”

“Of course, if people from Shushan want you to return and you do not wish to, you can also show this token to fend them off!”

“Good, thank you!”

Zhao Yu accepted the token and tucked it away.

The two chatted idly for a while longer, and Yin Zhengyi then left, thoroughly satisfied.@@novelbin@@
