<h4>Chapter 1152: Chapter 1149: Astonishing Everyone</h4>


    Three dayster.


    Evening.


    Carefree City County Office was brightly lit, with guests entering one after another.


    These people were all well-known wealthy gentry and celebrities in Carefree City, as well as some leaders of the Jianghu forces.


    Among them were Hall Masters Xiong Chumo, Chen Xi, and others from the Red Flower Society.


    Afterwards.


    The n Leaders of the Three Great Families also made their appearances in session.


    They were Shen Family’s Shen Congwen.


    Pei Family’s Pei Yuang.


    Du Family’s Du Nanqiu.


    All three of them had Cultivation Levels at the Great Ascension Latter Stage, making their strength formidable.


    Even the servants beside them had Cultivation Levels at the Transcendance Tribtion Stage, illustrating the profound and terrifying heritage of these Three Great Families.


    However.


    All the invited guests had appeared, but there was no sign of Xu Wendong.


    This naturally made people feel dissatisfied.


    Pei Yuang sat in the Taishi Chair, his voice tinged with dissatisfaction: "Prefecture Chief Liu, Lord Xu invited us for dinner, so why is there still no sign of Lord Xu?"


    Liu Zhengtong wore a ttering smile: "Chief Pei, please be patient, Lord Xu will be here soon."


    Though he was the Prefecture Chief of Carefree City, second to one and above ten thousand others, on regr days he was very humble and modest.


    Undeniably, he was very clever.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived till today.

    Time slowly passed.


    Although Liu Zhengtong said Xu Wendong would soon arrive, an entire two hours passed without Xu Wendong showing up.


    This made many people irritable and unable to bear it any longer.


    Even the n Leaders of the Three Great ns were the same.


    Their attendance was undoubtedly a gesture of respect towards Xu Wendong.


    But who could have imagined.


    This person would be so high-handed, clearly not regarding them!


    "It seems Lord Xu is busy with official duties, in that case, I will take my leave." Pei Yuang snorted heavily, standing up in anger intending to leave.


    "Chief Pei, please wait!"


    Without any warning.


    A loud voice echoed.


    Everyone looked towards the direction where the voice came from.


    In the distance, a figure gradually approached.


    He wore a white brocade robe, the hem fluttering, appearing like an Immortal walking on moonlight.


    He appeared handsome and dashing, with a majestic demeanor.


    His face was righteous, with delicate facial features, and his eyes reflected determination and depth.


    The corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a touch of roguishness.


    The white brocade robe entuated his robust physique, the jade belt around his waist tightened, making him appear slender and valiant.


    His long hair swayed with the wind, like the brightest star in the night sky, catching everyone’s attention.


    His steps were light, yet each one appeared especially firm and forceful, and his silhouette extended a long shadow under the moonlight, seemingly blending with the night.


    The first impression everyone had of him was extraordinarily handsome.


    Steady as a mountain.


    Giving an unfathomable feeling.


    "My apologies for beingte, I ask for your great forgiveness!" Xu Wendong expressed in a loud and maic voice.


    Pei Yuang snorted coldly: "Lord Xu spoke about hosting a banquet for the powerful ns and esteemed gentry of Carefree City, but why such a dy?"


    "Isn’t it unfair to not regard everyone here?"


    Pei Yuang, as the n Leader of one of the Three Great ns, instantly incited the agreement of many with his words.


    Many eyes looked at Xu Wendong with cold and disdainful expressions.


    "Lord Xu, I am curious what upied you for over two hours earlier?" Du Nanqiu’s voice also echoed.


    He questioned Xu Wendong’s earlier activities openly, clearly intending to embarrass Xu Wendong publicly, while asserting his own status.


    After all, he was merely amoner.


    Shen Congwen also voiced: "Lord Xu became Carefree City Magistrate at such a young age, truly an impressive future."


    "However, one should not be arrogant!"


    "Isn’t it the nature of youth to be spirited?" Xu Wendong wore a faint smile, quietly observing their arrogant yet indifferent expressions.


    In the next moment.


    With a thought.


    The Carefree City Prefecture Seal astonishingly floated above his head, radiating an earthen yellow light.


    At the same time.


    An overwhelming, powerful aura spread from him.


    Like the majesty of the heavens, making everyone’s scalp go numb and feel a chill down their spine.


    Every face turned pale, with a great wave rising in their hearts.


    Even Liu Zhengtong, Chu Ye, and other Yamen Runners were all trembling from the cold.


    They never dreamed.


    That Xu Wendong, in just three days, had managed to refine the County Seal.


    One must know, past Carefree City Magistrates all attempted to refine this artifact, yet none seeded.


    They all gave up right after the initial attempt to bond with it.


    Xiong Chumo and Chen Xi’s beautiful eyes were also filled with intense shock, never expecting that Xu Wendong had refined the Carefree City Prefecture Seal.


    After their initial shock, both felt immense joy in their hearts.


    The stronger Xu Wendong became, the more they favored him.


    "Chief Pei, as a meremoner, you publicly questioned why I waste for so long, are you trying to defy the Imperial Court’s authority?"


    Xu Wendong’s voice echoed once more, but this time filled with a chilling tone.


    "Themoner does not dare!" Pei Yuang was so frightened that cold sweat began to flow, his eyes filled with utter terror.


    Initially, they indeed did not regard Xu Wendong.


    But now they realized.


    Why after Xu Wendong’s stunning performance at the Monarch’s birthday banquet, the Monarch arranged for him to Carefree City.


    This man’s ability exceeded all their imaginations.


    They understood.


    Carefree City was perhaps about to change!


    No need to mention others, Xu Wendong alone refining the Carefree City Prefecture Seal made him an invincible presence in this city.


    "Does anyone else have an opinion of me?" Xu Wendong scanned around.


    Wherever his gazended.


    Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.


    "Please be seated!" Xu Wendong said softly, then sat down in front of the foremost table.


    This was a separate table, with exquisite dishes and drinksid out on top.


    Xu Wendong: "Let me speak about the purpose of mying to Carefree City!"


    Everyone couldn’t help but perk up their ears.


    Filled with curiosity.


    Xu Wendong: "Three matters!"


    "To create wealth!"


    "To create wealth!"


    "It is still about creating wealth!"


    His voice was loud and forceful, leaving no doubt about his abilities.


    However.


    Carefree City’s geographical location was unique, to lead the people to prosperity would not be easy.


    At least, they couldn’t conceive exactly how.


    Xu Wendong continued: "It is unrealistic to expect that Xu alone could lead the people of Carefree City to prosperity."


    "Therefore, I need everyone’s strong support."


    At this point, he looked at the leaders of the Jianghu forces, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "I heard Carefree City has more than thirty big and small factions, are you willing to contribute to the rise of Carefree City?"
