Reborn as a fiend statue

"Yan'er, how is the progress in wooing various families in Xingyue City?"

"Let me tell you, brother, the situation is not ideal. As of today, we have not won over a single family."

"Well...it seems the situation is not optimistic."

"How are the various teams formed by the villagers doing?"

"They are still very unskilled in their business, and there were flaws several times. It was Sister Yuyao who took the initiative to straighten things out."

Yu Yi sighed softly, "Alas... although the villagers of the Xingyue Tribe have all kinds of knowledge from my professor, in the end they still lack experience.

Lao Jiang, please work hard and lead a group of newbies to help them adapt to their respective tasks as soon as possible.

Several groups of villagers will arrive later, and they will all be guided by you and your men.

Be careful, neither you nor the villagers are exposed.

You are all my trump cards, and you cannot let others know about our relationship before we capture Xingyue City."

"Yes, Master Yu."

"Well, that's the arrangement for the time being, please step aside."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Only Yu Yi, Jiang Yuyao and Qu Hanyan were left in the room again.

"Brother Yu, because of the birth of the godhead, the original trade of Xingyue Island will be completely disrupted.

There is no business group that is interested in conducting trade now.

On the surface, the major business groups stayed within their bases and kept their peace, but secretly they were constantly sending experts to investigate the whereabouts of the godhead.

All forces on Xingyue Island are also closely monitoring the actions of the merchant group, trying to find out the godhead.

The situation is already turbulent, can we conquer Xingyue Island within a month?"

Jiang Yuyao couldn't help but ask.

Yu Yi shook his head and said: "A month? Are you dreaming? It will take at least half a year to conquer Xingyue Island.

Now we need to stand still and let the major business groups compete with Xingyue Island.

After waiting for the Xingyue Island formation to restart and the business group to leave, it is time for us to take action."

"But, after this, don't we have to stay on the island for three years? How boring that would be."

"Haha... of course not. As long as I conquer the forces on Xingyue Island, I can find out how to control the Xingyue Formation from the classics of the major city-states. Then I can leave at any time."

"Oh...that's good. But will Xingyue Island let the major business groups leave safely? After all, they are all suspected of hiding their godhead."

"Although the three major city-states are local snakes, the major business groups combined are not weak. It is unrealistic to want to keep each other.

If the two sides really fight, they will lose everything, both sides will suffer losses, and the gains will not be worth the losses.

It is estimated that some small business associations will suffer and will be used as an excuse to get rid of them."

"Sigh... Brother Yu is really becoming more and more like a villain. In the end, it was you who started everything."

"boom!"

Jiang Yuyao suffered a brain collapse on her head.

"Be careful if I beat you, it's not all for you."

Qu Hanyan covered her mouth and snickered.

Knock knock knock…

There was a knock on the door.

Yu Yi wondered, who would look for him at this time?

Qu Hanyan took the initiative to get up and open the door.

"Hahahaha...Brother Yu, you made it easy for me to find you. I sent a large number of subordinates to find you."

Xingmou, this guy has no life at all, he walked into the room minding his own business.

Yu Yi rolled his eyes and said: "Young Master Mou, why did you come to me in your spare time? Shouldn't you be dealing with the mess of the Godhead incident in Xingyue City?"

"Sigh... don't mention this. I am angry when I mention it. The reason why I left early was because I received the news that a godhead was born.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

However, before Xingyue City could lay out its plans, the war broke out, and the city was turned into a mess.

If you let me know which bastard is using his godhead to cause trouble, I have to kill him."

"..."

Yu Yi was speechless.

It seems like he was scolded?

And I can’t refute it, which is so uncomfortable.

The corners of Jiang Yuyao and Qu Hanyan's mouths twitched, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

"Huh? We haven't seen each other for just a few days. Where did Brother Yu recruit a beautiful girl from? She really knows how to enjoy life."

"Don't talk nonsense, this is Jiang Yuyao, she is my sister."

"Hey, hey, hey... I know that Miss Hanyan is your sister, and Miss Yuyao is also your sister.

As the saying goes, ‘If you have a sister and a house, both parents are dead,’ and Brother Yu has them all.”

"Go away, are you just trying to bullshit me?"

"Of course not." Xingmu put away his joking expression and said seriously: "I want to ask Brother Yu for help."

"Oh? What's the matter? Let's talk about it first. I won't refuse if I can help. If it's beyond my ability, then I can't help you."

"I want you to help me win the position of Lord of Star-Moon City."

Yu Yi: "???"

Jiang Yuyao: "???"

Qu Hanyan: "???"

"Young Master Mou, are you kidding me? I only have two girls under my command, plus a few villagers from the Xingyue Tribe.

How can I help you win the position of Lord of Star-Moon City?"

Xingmu smiled and said: "Brother Yu, there is no need to be humble. Although I am not very talented in cultivation, I am very accurate in judging people. I believe in your ability."

"Thank you for the compliment. The Lord of Xingyue City is now in his prime, and there are at least a few hundred years until he retires. Why is Young Master Mou so impatient?"

"Brother Yu doesn't know that the opening of this grand formation is not only the trade exchange between Xingyue Island and Tianyuan Continent, but also coincides with the time when the three major city-states are selecting their respective successors.

If there is no divine event, another purpose of those business groups is to participate in the Three Cities Alliance."

Yu Yi said in surprise: "Huh? The divine head incident has caused panic among people. Will your successor election still go on as scheduled?

As far as I know, the city lord is a powerful man of the holy level. Why do you want to determine the successor so early?

The situation of the other two major city-states is similar, right?"

"Indeed, as Brother Yu said, my father is still young and there is no need to choose an heir prematurely.

However, the selection of the city lord's successor is not determined by personal preferences, but is a rule set by the three major city-states throughout the ages.

After a certain city lord has been in office for a hundred years, a successor must be determined.

Even if this city lord continues to reign for a thousand years, it will still be the same."

"Hey, are there such humane rules?" Jiang Yuyao asked curiously.

Xingmu nodded and said: "This is the rule, and it has three purposes: first, to stabilize the people of the city-state. Having an heir also represents the prosperity and stability of the city-state.

Second, reduce internal friction and prevent major factions from getting too involved in lining up the city lord’s successor.

Third, make your respective city-states famous, and if you stand out in the competition for the heirs of the three major city-states, you will enjoy special honors."

Yu Yi couldn't help but ask: "Huh? What is the content of your participation in the succession competition?"

"The three major city-states are assessed together and compete with each other. The children of the city lord who participate in the assessment need to go through three rounds of selection.

The first round is a literary test, which mainly tests the ability to handle government affairs and handle emergencies.

The second round is the military strategy battle formation. The successor of a city-state may not be strong, but he must be able to be civilized and military.

The third round is a competition of personal strength. In the world of monks, strength speaks for itself after all.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The most outstanding heir of each city-state will be determined as the heir of the city-state.

The three heirs will also have a final showdown, and the final winner will receive a joint reward from the three major city-states."

"How can I help you?"

Xingmu said awkwardly: "Ahem... In the three rounds of selection, I have mastered all seven skills and six skills, but I know nothing.

In the first two rounds of trials, I could barely compete.

Participating in the cultural and martial arts of the descendants is obviously not possible on their own, as they all have their own staff.

I would like to ask Brother Yu to join the staff and help make plans.

The rules stipulate that the staff must be of the same age, and the older generation cannot intervene.

In the third round of fighting, given my strength, it was just a showdown, so I chose to give up."

"Then you said a hammer?"

"..."

Yu Yi shook his head and said: "In the case of Mou Shao, the disadvantage is too obvious. Even if you perform well in the first two rounds, if you give up the third round, the hope of fighting for the inheritance is still slim."

"Alas...who says it's not the case? But having hope is better than having no hope, right?

With Brother Yu's amazing luck, it might be able to affect my third round of competition.

What if my opponent has diarrhea or breaks his leg on the day of the competition?"

"..."

"Young Master Mou, it's not that I can't help you, but what benefits can I get?

As the saying goes, 'Every bustle in the world is for profit; the bustle in the world is for profit.'

I don't care about accidents myself, but there is no benefit in letting Yuyao and Yan'er take risks, so I won't do it."

Xing Miao spread his hands helplessly: "At this stage, I have nothing, and I can only wait until the heir is determined before I can give it to you. I swear in the name of God that I will definitely satisfy you."

"..."

This guy is completely useless.

But you can't blame him.

Although Xingmou has the title of a young master of Xingyue City, he himself is ostracized and does not have many treasures on his body.

Yu Yi put forward the condition at the right time, "Young Master Mou, you have to give me the right to enter and leave the Xingyue City Library. I want to check some information there."

"this……"

Xingmu was a little puzzled: "Brother Yu, I can let you in and out of the library, but you can't go in the top floor.

Don't say it's you, even I can't get to the top floor.

That’s where the family’s inherited martial arts are collected, and no one can enter without the city lord’s permission.”

"Okay, I'm not interested in your family's exercises. I'm just looking for some recorded secrets from ancient times."

"This is my young master's identity token. Brother Yu can use the token to enter any floor of the library except the top floor."

Yu Yi didn't show any pretense and directly accepted the token.

"Brother Yu, I'll take my leave first. I still need to go back to make arrangements. The successor selection ceremony will start in three days. Please be sure to be there."

When Xingmou was about to leave, Jiang Yuyao suddenly said:

"Young Master Mu, I have a proposal. I can help you get high scores in three rounds of tests and be directly designated as your heir. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Huh?" Xingmu turned around in surprise.

Yu Yi shook his head gently.

He knew what the little saint wanted to do.

Xingmou may seem out of character, but he actually has a good heart.

Yu Yi thinks that the other party is a friend worth making.

If Jiang Yuyao's approach is followed, the other party will be restrained because of the identity gap.

It won't be as easy-going as it is now.

The little saint has my eyes in everything.

Yu Yi had no choice but to let Jiang Yuyao do whatever he wanted.
