C2281 Love and resentment

Wooden Square City and Shang Ling City had a very good relationship originally, to the point where it could even be said that they were two cities that could be entrusted to each other. It was said that the two cities were even the first two City Lord s of a family.1

During the development of these two cities, there would be people shuttling back and forth between the two cities. Moreover, there would often be situations where the two cities would marry each other, so not only were the two cities not estranged from each other, they were actually closer to each other.

This was also the reason why the two families had such a good relationship. Many years ago, they might have been from the same family.

But this matter slowly changed afterwards, and the reason for this change was precisely the thing that Qi Tianyu originally knew.

When these people first appeared, they actually didn't attract much attention. After all, even though there were many acquaintances between the two cities, there would occasionally be strangers appearing, so everyone only thought that they were just passing by and didn't pay much attention to them.

However, no one could have imagined that this group of people would become so powerful in the two cities that they would even catch up to the major families of the two cities. It was only at this moment that the two cities began to value this group of people, and everyone realized that this group of people would appear at the same time in the two cities, and there was no difference in what they did in the two cities.

They would usually do some business, but the most important thing was to gather some people who were very interested in martial arts. After gathering together, they would then try to teach them some Immortal Arts.

At that time, the inhabitants of Wooden Square City and their families were all very simple and honest. Seeing this group of people doing such things, although they still had some doubts towards their background, they had because of what they had done, and had slowly accepted them. After all, to them, if there was someone who could teach them the next generation of Immortal Arts, these people should be not bad.

This situation was also preserved for a period of time. During that time, more and more people in the two cities started to learn Immortal Arts and obtained a certain degree of cultivation results. This way, more and more people would naturally wish to cultivate.

Therefore, after a period of time, this group of people became more and more popular in the two cities. Everywhere they went, there would be residents who would automatically send them some things, hoping that they would accept them so that they could cultivate the Immortal Arts.

If things went on like this, it would be a good thing. But instead of this, after a while, they began to stop teaching. As the residents were discussing this, they announced the next thing.

This group decided to start a competition between the two cities. This competition would select the better, or rather, the more talented, students that they had taught in the past few years. Then, they would focus on cultivating these people.

After all, rather than gathering everyone together to study the Immortal Arts, it was better for some people with better aptitudes to train in a deeper level of the Immortal Arts. This would be a good thing for both cities.

That was how a curiosity that could exist, or a chance that could drive those people out of the city, had been abandoned.

As expected, the competition had started as scheduled. The people who had recently cultivated the Immortal Arts had tried their best to show off their skills, and in the end, some of them had indeed gotten recognized by the people there.

However, no one expected that these people would actually want to bring the people they recognized away. According to what they said, they were going to bring them to a deeper place in the Spiritual Energy to help them cultivate, so that they could become high-level cultivators faster.

But as people born and bred in these two cities, how could they agree so easily? How could they leave just like that?

This matter had reached a deadlock. Almost no one was willing to leave with them. That group of people seemed to really have no way out, so they just stayed in silence for a period of time.

Until the few noble families in the city suddenly stood up and expressed their support for this group of people, bringing their citizens away from the city.

"Why? What right do you have to agree for us? "If so, what will we do if you send our children out?" The people in the city even protested against the great families. After all, these were their own children. If they were sent away, not only would the child's safety be unguaranteed, it would even affect their family's life.

Instead, they posted a notice informing all residents that those who were chosen in this competition, as long as they were willing, would be able to return to their hometown in ten years. In the course of these years, every family that had a child that was sent away would get the help of others, and even some families would give out some subsidies. And after these children came back from there, they could directly go to these families to hold some important positions. If they were taken away by the children from those families, they could even come back to take over the Patriarch.

Once this order was released, it immediately made the people below agree. After all, even though the people there were not to be trusted, but these families had been living in the city for tens of thousands of years and were very trustworthy, so the residents still had a lot of trust in their words. If they let the children go there to learn their skills, then the families could also get some things.

After this event, all the families would be happy to have their children participate in this competition and be selected. The selected families would be proud of this.

Of course, this matter didn't affect the relationship between the two cities until what we knew previously. Because for some reason, this kind of competition afterwards gave up on the Wooden Square City, and was held only in the Shang Ling City. From that time onwards, the relationship between the two cities began to worsen, and until now, there were almost no interactions between the two cities.

"Patriarch, this thing doesn't make sense. Why would something like this happen? Why did the big families agree to this and help the people there? And why did this match become held in only one city? " After Qi Tianyu heard the other party's explanation, he was even more confused. Just what was the purpose of all this?

"Speaking of this matter, it is still our family's responsibility. Although I still do not know whether this matter is correct or not, I can only tell you this, the reason why the people over there are not hosting the competition here, is not because the people over there gave up on our Wooden Square City, but because a few very powerful families have already allied together, boycotting the people over there and refusing them from hosting the competition here." Chen Wu revealed a reason that Qi Tianyu had never thought of before.

"What?" What the hell are you guys doing? You were the ones who agreed to it and you were the ones who opposed it later on. What exactly do you want to do? " Qi Tianyu could not sit still any longer, this matter was really revealing that something was amiss.
