Chapter 6248

"Shopkeeper, before I came here, I heard that the Five Elements Sect and the Yuqing Sect are in charge of Wuqing City, and all the shops in the city belong to the sects. Is this true?" Su Ruoxi continued to ask.

"Ah... it's not all true! Wuqing City is indeed affiliated to the two major sects, Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect. After all, Wuqing City was funded by the other party, and Wuqing City also needs the protection of the other party!"

"But the shops in the city are not all from the Five Elements Sect and the Yuqing Sect. It can be said that the shops in the city gate are all from that force. In fact, most of them are sent by some third-rate aristocratic families and sects to open shops in Wuqing City!"

"Each shop only needs to pay rent every year. The City Lord's Mansion is not big, and there are no City Lords in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is where the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect regularly send disciples to garrison the City Lord's Mansion to maintain the security of Wuqing City!"

"My family came to the Qingfeng Inn early when Wuqing City was first established. Although I don't have the support of a big power or family, my ancestors knew several elders of the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect, and we originally lived in the Qingfeng Inn. here!"

"Later, the Five Elements Sect and the Yuqing Sect wanted to build a city here, and we were not driven out by the other side. At first, the Five Elements Sect and the Yuqing Sect gave a lot of compensation to those of us who originally lived here, and my ancestors took the compensation directly to the Five Elements Sect and built a city here. Qingfeng Inn opened in Qingcheng! Many people like my family have not left."

"Although there are always many people who are interested in us, the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect have promised that no one can drive us out of Wuqing City unless we are willing..."

When he said this, the shopkeeper continued with a complicated look on his face: "But after so many years, we have opened more than 20 shops in Wuqing City with the more than 20 families left behind. In the end, even if the Five Elements Sect With the protection of Yuqingmen, there are only three inns left!"

"It's not that the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect can't protect it, but the conditions offered by some people are too tempting, and the money and silk are so attractive!" the shopkeeper said helplessly.

"If this is the case, allowing other forces to settle in Wuqing City, doesn't it mean that spies from other families are left here? Don't both the Five Elements Sect and the Yuqing Sect care?" Su Ruoxi asked with a frown.

"What do you care about? Even if other forces are not allowed to enter Wuqing City, when recruiting disciples, there is no way to prevent other forces from arranging people to enter. They are just placing informants in Wuqing City. For the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect, which kind of people are there? For big powers, you don’t need to care at all!”

"Furthermore, Wuqing City can be so prosperous because the shops here come from all over the world. They can bring resources from all over the world to sell here, and they can also sell the resources here. This should be what the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect are happy to see. "..." the shopkeeper said.

"Sir, when will the Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect start recruiting disciples? What are the standards?" Su Ruoxi thought for a while and asked.

"The time is half a month later. I only know that the number of disciples recruited by the two sects is different each time. Everyone is sent to a secret place for assessment, and those who pass can join the two sects!"

"The Five Elements Sect and Yuqing Sect recruit disciples every ten years, but the selection rate is not high. Every time the two major sects recruit disciples, tens of thousands of people will come to Wuqing City, but only a thousand people may actually be selected. Not even..." the shopkeeper said.
