All things considered, it’s been a year and a half since Ji Yuan established his island at the Foundation Establishment Stage.Basically, Master Xuan Shui gave him an extra half-year of vacation, which is quite generous.

"Here’s the situation: the sect is short on Foundation Establishment personnel, so some things might require your help,"

"Uncle Master, feel free to speak,"

"Hehe, I heard from Han Feiyu that you’re stable-hearted and prefer staying in. After much thought, I’ve decided to station you at Lishui City for a while."

Master Xuan Shui considered, "I’m sure you’ve heard about the situation in Lishui City. It recently erected a Clear Barrier Wild, and now is a peaceful time. Plus, it’s not far from the sect, making it convenient for you to return whenever you want. What do you think?"

Lishui City... Ji Yuan is naturally familiar with the place.

He heard quite a bit about it recently. Since Lishui City’s situation was investigated thoroughly, the Law Enforcement Hall took over and conducted a thorough examination from top to bottom.

So, the current Lishui City is indeed spotless.

There’s simply nothing going on.

Master Xuan Shui asking him to go there is undoubtedly due to respect for his master, knowing that if he were stationed at one of those sect chambers, he’d be burdened with many chores and far from free.

Cultivators on duty at the Thousand Mechanism Hall, for example, have little time for cultivation.

But being outside is different.

So, after some consideration, Ji Yuan chose to agree.

"Would you like to assume the position of City Lord? If so, I’ll appoint you. If not, I’ll find someone else,"

Master Xuan Shui still first sought Ji Yuan’s thoughts.

Other Foundation Establishment Cultivators wouldn’t get such treatment.

"Spare me the position of City Lord. My cultivation is still shallow; let other senior brothers and sisters assume it,"

Ji Yuan quickly declined the offer.

Not to mention the abundance of responsibilities the City Lord position entails, the cultivators stationed at Lishui City are certainly not just him. Surely, there would be mid-stage or even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. In the end, being a rookie Foundation Establishment Stage City Lord... wouldn’t it be obvious that he got the role through connections?

Ji Yuan just wanted to spend some time, complete the mission, and then return to the sect for cultivation.

"Alright, alright."

Seeing Ji Yuan behaving as if avoiding a dire threat, Master Xuan Shui couldn’t help but laugh.

"Then just wait at home. Once everything is finalized in a few days, I’ll send you a message."

"Understood, disciple takes his leave."

After Ji Yuan left Water Dragon Island, he thought for a moment and turned to Wan You Island instead.

No matter what, he must inform his master.

After Hua Yaoyue listened, she advised, "Lishui City indeed suits your temperament, no need to worry."

"Yes."

With Hua Yaoyue’s assurance, Ji Yuan’s heart was completely at ease.

Just as he was about to leave, Hua Yaoyue remarked, "Regarding the disciple with the abnormal Spirit Root you mentioned, I haven’t found them in the sect; that leaves only two possibilities."

Ji Yuan stood with clasped hands.

"Either there isn’t any, or..."

Hua Yaoyue turned northward, "They’re with that person."

The only person in the Water Dragon Sect who warrants such seriousness from Hua Yaoyue could only be the Supreme Elder... Abnormal Spirit Root’s Wen Linger, noticed by the Nascent Soul Monster?

Ji Yuan couldn’t be certain, but he acquired some information nonetheless.

After bidding Hua Yaoyue farewell, he returned to Mist Island.

Regarding being stationed at Lishui City, he wasn’t concerned because it was so close... it didn’t even feel like he was going on a trip.

When he previously sought Spirit Fish akin to koi, he traveled to Lishui City.

Moreover, Lishui City is stable, leaving nothing to worry about.

Thus, Ji Yuan continued cultivating at Mist Island for half a month before receiving a message from Master Xuan Shui, leading him to Water Dragon Island.

But Ji Yuan wasn’t alone in coming this time.

Two other Foundation Establishment Cultivators accompanied him.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator and a mid-stage Foundation Establishment male cultivator, along with Ji Yuan.

After entering, he first exchanged greetings with Master Xuan Shui, then looked at the pair before him, addressing them as senior brother and sister.

Master Xuan Shui introduced them to each other.

The late-stage female cultivator is named Wu Nanchun, titled Nanchun Island Master.

The male cultivator is called Liu Yuan, titled Isle Master Liu Yuan.

Initially, Ji Yuan found the name familiar, realizing soon after... Isn’t this the cousin of Fang Jie?!

When Du Wanyi joined the Water Hall, she leveraged his connections.

Apparently, he’s somewhat of an acquaintance now.

Then, Master Xuan Shui naturally spoke some formal words, such as entrusting Lishui City to them, hoping they’d support each other, before allowing them to embark.

The position of City Lord naturally fell to the late-stage Wu Nanchun.

Upon leaving Water Dragon Island, she inquired if Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan were ready, to set off immediately if they were.

Ji Yuan had nothing to bring as all his items were stored in his Storage Bag, so he agreed promptly.

Liu Yuan appeared rather composed, responding affirmatively regardless of the question; thus, the trio summoned their flying boat and departed.

Wu Nanchun’s flying boat seemed like a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, incredibly fast, Liu Yuan’s was a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, also quick, whereas Ji Yuan’s remained a supreme Magical Artifact...

"Junior Brother Ji, why not come aboard my flying boat?"

Wu Nanchun appeared decisive, suggesting Ji Yuan join her upon noticing his slower speed.
