It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"Is it really... useless?"

Yu Hang kept mumbling these words.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

…

the other side.

After several days of long journey, Zhou An and Qi Shuo finally arrived at Yunlai Mansion.

The carriage was advancing on the wide streets of Yunlai Mansion.

Zhou An lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the wide and neat streets outside, as well as the bustling pedestrians on both sides of the streets, and thought of the situation in Anding County.

He felt that there was a world of difference between the two.

Anding County is a small county, and it is a remote small county with a low population density.

So only when it's busy can there be so many people.

But Yunlai Mansion is different. The location here is not remote, and the territory is vast. Naturally, even at this time, there are still many pedestrians passing by.

"Brother Zhou rarely comes to Yunlai Mansion?" Qi Shuo is a shrewd man. Seeing this scene, he asked with a smile.

Ever since Zhou An chopped the sutures into pieces with a knife at the inn last time, Qi Shuo has always maintained a sense of awe towards Zhou An.

He had always thought that if he had Zhou An's strength, he would never be willing to live in a small county town, but Zhou An did it.

He thought of what an old man in the Chamber of Commerce once said, and it was very appropriate when applied to Zhou An.

——Extremely talented, only seeking five points of fame and fortune to live comfortably.

Qi Shuo feels that Zhou An is a very smart person.

Especially smart and powerful people are worthy of awe.

Zhou An put down his hand and let the curtain cover the carriage.

"Brother Qi, what are your next plans?"

Qi Shuo also knew that Zhou An's friend was kidnapped and he was in no mood to talk to him.

So he no longer had a chatty tone, but said very seriously.

"Brother Zhou, first go to Yunlai Mansion with me to register, and then go to my residence here. You can live there from now on. There is still some time before the casting competition. I can't let Brother Zhou stay in the inn and spread the word. Our Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has a bad reputation.”

Here in Yunlai Mansion, there is a property purchased by Qi Shuo.

The merchants of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce may be a little weak in terms of force, but they really have a lot of money.

Buying a house here doesn't have to be too big, it's still enough for Qi Shuo to live in.

Although Qi Shuo is a businessman, he is extremely insecure, so he always buys good properties wherever he goes.

These days, no matter how rich you are, what does it matter?

No strength, no sense of security.

Zhou An nodded.

The carriage continued to move forward, and soon it arrived at the Yamen of Yunlai Mansion.

The government office was naturally more lively than the county government office, and there were even more policemen on duty at the door.

When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the government office, Zhou An got off the carriage.

The registration for the Dao Casting Competition was held in the government office.

At this time, there was already a long queue at Yunlai Mansion.

These people are all talents in casting, and they are also the younger generation.

Qi Shuo got off the carriage, watched this scene, and was about to ask the guard next to him to line up on his behalf. He and Zhou An went back to their residence first.

Zhou An shook his head and walked towards Yunlai Mansion.

Qi Shuo didn't quite understand, but he still followed.

"stop!"

A policeman stopped in front, and one of them shouted loudly.

"The Yamen is an important place. No one is allowed to enter. If you have signed up, please queue up at the back."

Needless to say, the police officers in a house are more discerning than those in the county.

The catcher knew very well that most of the people who came here were casting geniuses of the younger generation.

If you think about it carefully, if two people come out of this and become a prisoner, they will be the ones who suffer the consequences because of this.

So the policeman was very polite.

Zhou An cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, please inform me of the government order and tell me that Zhou An is here if you have something to do. If the government order is not there, then there is no need to report it."

Several detectives looked at each other, and one of them said "wait a moment" and walked inside.

Qi Shuo touched his chubby forehead: "I thought Brother Zhou wouldn't use these methods."

"If you have these methods, why don't you use them? You don't have to be a fool, you won't remind me." Zhou An said.

Qi Shuo shouted that he was wronged: "I was worried that Brother Zhou was not the person to have these relationships, so I didn't dare to mention it, lest I lose my image in front of Brother Zhou."

The two chatted.

Not long after, a figure appeared at the door and strode towards Zhou An.

"Brother Zhou! If you are here, I knew you would come!"

Wang Meng walked out happily, and before Zhou An could react, he hugged Zhou An.

They are all in the art of casting. To be honest, what everyone sees is who has good craftsmanship, and whoever has good craftsmanship can impress the other person.

Wang Meng had seen Zhou An's craftsmanship and thought he was not up to par.

Wang Meng is very much looking forward to it. He wants Zhou An to participate in the Dao Casting Competition. When the time comes, they can learn from each other and gain some insights.

"Brother Wang, time is urgent. I won't talk about the situation. Please lead the way, Brother Wang. I want to see the governor. I will invite Brother Wang to dinner when I have the opportunity in the future." Zhou An also clasped his fists.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

Wang Meng was an open-minded person, and he also knew that Zhou An must be in trouble, so he was no longer polite and led the way, leading Zhou An inside.

Zhou An walked into the government office under the leadership of Wang Meng, and was quickly taken into the inner courtyard by Wang Meng.

Wang Meng pointed to the room inside and said: "Brother Zhou, the Lord is inside. You can just go in. I have to take charge of the registration."

He signed up and worked in Yunlai Mansion, so he also took charge of the affairs.

"Business about your business first."

After Wang Meng left, Zhou An went up and knocked on the door.

Qi Shuo knew things very well and did not follow behind. Instead, he looked around from a corner in the inner courtyard.

"Please come in."

Soon, Sun Fuling's voice came from the room.

Zhou An opened the door and walked in.

At this moment, Sun Fuling was buried in a pile of public belongings. After hearing the footsteps, he looked up and found that it was Zhou An. He stood up and poured a cup of tea.

"I knew you would still attend."

Zhou An took a sip of tea: "Master Sun, what I said is that if I didn't know that Master Sun is an upright official, I might have thought that my friend's matter was related to you."

Sun Fuling was slightly stunned, not understanding what Zhou An said, and asked strangely: "Brother Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou An told what happened, including the reason why he came to participate.

After hearing this, Sun Fuling frowned tightly: "Things seem to have become complicated."

This Dao Casting Competition was already very complicated, and now it has become even more complicated after hearing what Zhou An said.

The mysterious figure behind this seems to have bad intentions.

No one would be crazy enough to kidnap someone indiscriminately. Others must have a purpose, and it was not just as simple as letting Zhou An join the Casting Competition.

"Obviously, the other party wants to cause trouble, so I'll take the next step." Zhou An put down the teacup in his hand.

"If we don't get rid of this person, it won't be as simple as kidnapping my friend next time. I'm a very direct person and don't like to be faced with conspiracy and tricks."

"So let's talk to Mr. Sun in advance. After all, the safety of Yunlai Mansion also needs to be ensured, otherwise it will have a bad impact on Mr. Sun."

Hearing this, Sun Fuling nodded and stroked the long beard on his chin: "You are right. I will investigate and tell you as soon as possible if I find anything."

"Then Master Laosun, please help me by joining the team and signing up." Zhou An said with a smile.

Of course, Sun Fuling did not refuse. He was eager for Zhou An to come and participate.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhou An did not stay and left Yunlai Mansion with Qi Shuo.

After leaving Yunlai Mansion, Zhou An first found Qi Shuo's residence and asked Qi Shuo to put his cumbersome things here.

He went out again and went to Zhenguisi in Yunlai Mansion.

Qi Shuo also followed. After all, he still had to explain the situation of the inn to the Zhengui Si.

What Zhou An and Sun Fuling said just now was also a reminder to Sun Fuling.

Now, he's looking for someone truly professional.

A prefecture's town hall is of course different from a county's and is more professional.

Whether it is manpower, strength, or even the density of intelligence, it is much stronger than Anding County.

After Zhou An arrived, he saw many members of the Suppression Division on duty.

His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"What's the matter with you?" asked a member of the town.

Zhou An explained his purpose, which was basically to explain the affairs of the inn.

Unexpectedly, after Zhou An finished speaking, the members of the Zhenshisi shook their heads and said.

"No need to explain, this matter has nothing to do with you. We have investigated it clearly. You can go back."

This answer was unexpected, and Zhou An frowned.

He knew that since the other party said this, it proved that the news had been conveyed.

No need to ask, there must be some clues, or something similar has happened.

Zhou An thought about this, turned to look at Qi Shuo, and said, "Brother Qi, just go back to your residence and wait for me."

Qi Shuo felt uncomfortable all over since he entered the Zhengui Division.

After all, anyone in the industry would feel uncomfortable coming here.

Hearing Zhou An's words, he was very decisive and left quickly.

After Qi Shuo left, Zhou An turned to look at the members of the Zhensi Division and explained that he was recommended by Zhang Si County and came to meet Mr. Si Fu.

He thought that after he explained this, the other party would report it, but he never expected that when he mentioned the name Zhangsi County, the member of the town on the opposite side frowned.

"Ha...Zhang Si County...what a loud tone."

The members of the Zhengui Division sneered.

After hearing this, Zhou An had already guessed the reason. The person in front of him might have had some trouble with Zhang Si County.

"Your Excellency has had issues with Mr. Zhang. These are the past. I don't want to know about them. I just want to meet Mr. Si Fu. There is indeed something important."

Zhou An didn't want to cause trouble, so he said again very sincerely.

Since you are here to do something, there is no need to be too arrogant.

But there is a saying that goes well, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

"I will inform you later when I have time. You can leave now." The members of the Zhenshisi waved their hands, looking nonchalant.

Zhou An frowned slightly and said nothing more, but walked towards another member of the Zhenguisi.

He made his purpose clear again.

What he thought was that since this one didn't work, he would change it. He just wanted to report it.

But he never thought that he would change several people one after another, with the same result.

"Zhangsi County has a bad reputation here?" Zhou An frowned.

He always felt that people here rejected Zhangsi County.

But when asked why, they didn't answer.

The most important thing is that I seem to be stuck.

Of course, Zhou An didn't think he was really stuck.

He didn't ask any more questions and walked directly inside.

This approach is actually considered.

The little devils probably all have their reasons for this, but it is absolutely impossible for the Si Mansion here.

Because since Zhangsi County can ask him to come here, he will definitely not let himself come in vain.

Following his movement, several members of the Town Spies stopped in the middle and looked at him with funny expressions, as if they were looking at a clown.

"Do you know the consequences of breaking in here?"

The faces of the first members of the Zhensi Division were full of jest.

Zhou An said calmly: "I don't know, you will know soon."

He came with courtesy, but he was teased.

Zhou An is not a good-tempered person.

The Qi in his body circulated rapidly, and the next moment, he performed the Wandering Dragon Step, and the person had disappeared from the spot.

"Bah bang bang!"

A clear slap sounded, and the members who came to stop them only felt their eyes blur, and then pain spread across their faces.

They really didn't expect Zhou An to make a move, and they were hit in the face instantly and swollen immediately.

"Get him!"

The members of the Town Spies sounded angry.

They drew their weapons and prepared to take action.

"They are all good players, don't stop here." Zhou An pulled out the long knife from the pink money bag, full of murderous aura.

These people are all third-rate masters who have reached the threshold.

As expected of Yunlai Mansion, in a large place with a large population base, the probability of making good moves is high.

Of course, to Zhou An, these people can only be considered good players, not masters.

Xie Baotou and Zhang Sixian are considered masters in the field.

While thinking this way, more and more members of Zhengui appeared and stopped Zhou An.

But they didn't take action.

They could feel Zhou An's murderous intent.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows.

He felt that he would probably see blood today, and he would see other people's blood.

Just when the scene was getting more serious and about to break out, a voice rang out.

"You are getting better and better as you live. You rely on your own status to demand others. Be careful, I will kill you all!"

A middle-aged man wearing official clothes walked down the stairs, with a sloppy tone in his tone.

When this man walked down, everyone present stopped.

Zhou An looked along where the sound came from.

The middle-aged man in front of him was standing upstairs. He had a beard, a face full of flesh, and bulging muscles on his body. He looked like he would be difficult to deal with.

"He's a master."

Zhou An's eyes froze.

The man in front of him was stronger than anyone he had ever seen.

Even I felt a sense of oppression.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou An and let out a heroic laugh: "As expected, Zhang Suiniu introduced me. He showed off his skills as soon as he arrived. He is really extraordinary. Come up. In addition, the people who participated just now use their power to suppress others. One month’s salary will be deducted.”

The scene was quiet, and no members of the Suppression Squadron made a sound.
