Qiming City is a city of failed human candidates. Although the losers were defeated, it doesn't mean they weren't great. On the contrary, they were all excellent, but they weren't good enough to be in charge.

Descendants born from a combination of excellent bloodlines tend to have strong talents. They live and train in this city, and their average cultivation level even surpasses that of the Holy City, and they are a force to be reckoned with in the Holy Sect. Therefore, a peak third-rank cultivator is indeed nothing.

"Where's Ding Lu?" Ji Jiayu asked.

After saying that, Ji Jiayu continued, "I won't interrupt your work like this, will I?"

Ye Zihang smiled, "I will, but my work will be finished soon. You guys have something to drink first. Go to my house afterward. I'll call Ding Lu, let's eat together."

"Okay," Ji Jiayu smiled. Ye Zihang went to work after saying that.

Ji Jiayu found another waiter to order drinks.

Ji Jiayu had just taken a sip of the drink the waiter had delivered and frowned.

He glanced at the orange juice in Nie Lanxi's hand beside him and ordered another glass without hesitation.

People were talking about him everywhere.

"What do you think is so special about this Ji Jiayu? He was chosen as the head of the Sacred Jewel Sect and also entered the Sacred Sect."

"Envy, I'm truly envious. No matter how hard we try, we'll only be officials in Qiming City at most. And he has a different beginning. Maybe one day he'll be promoted to a priest and be able to take care of us."

"Alas, yes, if I were from the Guangming Clan, I'd be unhappy!"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't complain about him. After all, we're also electors, and even if we aren't, we're also descendants of the electors. We can live well here because of this elector's plans. It's not because he's the one in charge, but perhaps it's someone else, anyone. But I still can't stand him. Why? He enjoys the benefits, but we have to bear the consequences."

This person's words echoed those of others.

In the past three months, demonstrations had erupted in the major cities of the Holy Kingdom, opposing Ji Jiayu's joining the Holy Sect and his taking over of the Holy Pearl. However, he never showed his face from beginning to end, and the Holy Sect also helped conceal his whereabouts. Over time, the Guangming Clan, unable to locate him, began pointing fingers at Qiming City, a large number of adults and mixed-race groups.

Ji Jiayu listened to everyone's discussions, his expression calm, but he felt a little uneasy. Although he knew that the Guangming Clan's actions had nothing to do with him, but only with the "Holder of the Holy Light Orb," he still felt a pang of guilt.

"Treating us differently, cutting off resources, cutting off business exchanges, expelling us from the city, and even wanting to expel us from the sacred Chenghai!"

"Why?!"

"Dream on! I've lived here since I was born, and it's not their turn to expel me! Letting the great prophet stand up and speak, is it my parents' efforts—? Are the high-ranking officials of the Holy Sect white-eyed wolves?"

After people drink too much, it's inevitable that they will go too far and say some unreasonable things. A few words, Ji Jiayu will listen, and he will pick out the key points and real information.

After sitting in Chense for half an hour, he didn't hear any news about the serial killer, but Ji Jiayu heard countless news about the Guangming Clan, the Light Supremacy Sect, and himself, and it wasn't—

"Let's go, I'm done with my work." Ye Zihang, who appeared in front of Ji Jiayu again, changed his clothes and said with a smile.

"Then I'll go check it out." Ji Jiayu stood up.

"What knots are tied to me! It's all time to come, how can you afford it!" Ye Zihang smiled and said, "Okay, I know you must be rich now, so there's no need for courtesy. I won't be polite with you. Let's go."

As he spoke, Ye Zihang pushed Ji Jiayu out the door. Nie Lanxi, who was always so calm, followed closely.

"I live a bit far away, so we'll have to take a dragon carriage there."

Dragon horses are sacred beasts that aren't part of the large-scale breeding industry in the sacred city of Chenghai. Their quality is high and low, serving people from all walks of life. Among them are common dragon carriages.

Under Ye Hang's leadership, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi boarded a redwood public dragon carriage and headed south. Looking out the transparent window, they saw a continuous patchwork of new buildings.

"Except for you, all the voters of Camp 1 have come to Qiming City. Because there are too many people, the city lord's mansion has ordered the expansion of a new city, namely the new southern city." Ye Zihang introduced, "Ding Lu lives on the same street as me."

"That's good." Ji Jiayu yearned for the tunnel.

"What's good?!" Ye Zihang rolled his eyes.

"I have a house," Ji Jiayu said.

"I have a house, but I have to pay it back!" Ye Zihang said, "Do you think the city lord's mansion will give you a place to live with—?" Does it cost money to build a house? Do you need labor? We have to pay back the money slowly."

"So you're going to work in Chense?" Ji Jiayu asked.

"Yes, but only temporarily." Ye Yang said, "Work is work, and I don't forget to practice. One day, when I become a sage, my good days will come, hehe."

"It's definitely okay. Your cultivation talent is very high," Ji Jiayu said sincerely.

"Okay, you, I'll brag to you, haha." Ye Zihang smiled. He hadn't seen Ji Jiayu in a long time, and Ye Zihang was so happy that he got a little carried away.

Half an hour later, Ye Zihang brought Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi to Jiaxing Street, where his residence was located. Ye Zihang's house was on the second floor of a four-story building, with a large space and four rooms, enough to ensure that Ye Zihang would still have a spare room after getting married and having children in the future.

I have to say, the treatment of newcomers in Qiming City was truly quite good.

"It's a bit empty, a bit messy, it's okay." Ye Zihang smiled and said, "You sit down first, I'll make you some food. During this time, besides working and cultivating, I've been learning to cook, hahaha."

"Teach me when you have time." Ji Jiayu was envious. He actually really wanted to learn how to grill fish from Nie Lanxi, but he didn't think about how to speak, because Nie Lanxi was truly a bit indifferent.

"No problem." After saying that, Ye Zihang went to the kitchen.

Ji Jiayu didn't let Ye Zihang work alone, letting Nie Lanxi sit in the back of the living room, while he ran into the kitchen to help Ye Zihang. While helping Ye Yehang clean the ingredients, he asked about Ding Lu.

"Ding Lu, he's been elusive all this time, and he didn't say anything when I asked him where he worked. He's mysterious." Ye Qiangao looked a little sad.

He faintly felt a bit alienated from Ding Lu. After all, Ding Lu was his only good friend in Qiming City.

After a light sigh, Ye Zihang smiled again, "Forget it, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about you. What have you been up to lately? How are you?"

"I've been cultivating for the past three months. Besides, you know, everyone wants to kill me," Ji Jiayu said calmly.

"This is a bit difficult." Ye Zihang was stunned for a moment and sighed, "I can't help you either, I'm too weak."

"It's okay, I can do it, haha." Ji Jiayu smiled. Ye Zihang was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Ding Lu!" Ye Zihang's face lit up with joy.

He didn't know many people in Qiming City, and the only one who would knock on his door was probably Ding Lu. "I'll open the door." Ji Jiayu was also very happy.

"Go, go." Thinking that the three of them would be together again, Ye Zihang's eyes almost narrowed.

Ji Jiayu took a few quick steps and opened the door. Outside was Ding Lu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. However, when he saw Ding Lu, Ji Jiayu frowned without a trace.
