On the day of retirement, I picked up a beautiful CEO as my wife

The City Lord's Mansion was extremely quiet at night.

Apart from soldiers on patrol, there was little noise.

And in the courtyard where the city lord lived, the man in black led Chu Fei into it.

Several lanterns hung in the yard, illuminating the dark yard.

In the gazebo, the city lord Gao Zhan was sitting on a stool with a fishing rod in his hand, fishing by the pond.

"City Lord, people have arrived."

The man in black cupped his fists and bowed to Gao Zhan who was fishing.

Gao Zhan hummed softly, "Go out first."

"Yes!"

Following Gao Zhan's voice, the man in black also disappeared in front of Chu Fei.

"Junior Chu Fei, I have met the city lord."

Chu Fei cupped his fists to salute Gao Zhan.

"Chu Fei?"

"It's a nice name."

"come here."

Gao Zhan waved his hand, motioning for Chu Fei to come over.

Chu Fei walked closer, and only then did he see Gao Zhan's face clearly.

Square face, with some stubble.

He looked like a decent person.

"At noon today, I heard that you had a fight with the head of the Liu family, Liu Qinghai."

"I thought you would at least be seriously injured, but I didn't expect that you just suffered a little skin trauma."

"Your strength is very good."

Gao Zhan opened his mouth to praise.

"Don't dare."

"The junior is just lucky."

Chu Fei smiled faintly, not arrogant.

At this moment, the fishing rod moved slightly.

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Gao Zhan's face, and he immediately drew his stick.

A red carp was immediately pulled up by him, and the fish was struggling hard in his hands.

However, he just took the hook off and put the fish back in the pond.

Chu Fei stood aside and did not speak, waiting for the other party to speak first.

After doing all this, Gao Zhan put down his fishing rod and looked at Chu Fei with admiration.

"Aren't you curious why I'm looking for you?"

Facing himself, ordinary monks in the Taoist realm had already started flattering, but Chu Fei in front of him did not do so.

Just this point made him take a look at Chu Feigao in his heart.

"Of course I'm curious."

"But if the city lord doesn't speak, the junior won't ask too many questions."

Gao Zhan was very satisfied with Chu Fei's answer, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"good."

"A genius like you shouldn't be a casual cultivator, right?"

"I'm also curious which sect you come from, or which family you come from?"

"Can you talk to me?"

Gao Zhan knew very well that a young man with Chu Fei's talent was definitely not an unknown person.

After Chu Fei hesitated for a moment, he slowly shook his head.

"Sorry, my lord."

"The junior is indeed a casual cultivator now."

"There used to be sects, but I have quit the sect. My goal now is to travel the world, and I don't want to be bound by sects or families."

From Gao Zhan's words, Chu Fei could also hear that the other party must have taken a fancy to his talent and wanted to recruit him.

However, now I have no plans to join any forces or sects.

At least, he will not join any sect or force until he finds his wife and daughter.

Hearing this, Gao Zhan was also slightly disappointed.

He's not stupid, the other party obviously understood what he meant, and what he said just now was obviously a rejection of him.

"Never mind."

"Your ambition is not here, and I don't force it to stay."

"It's just that you need to have enough strength to travel the world. Your current strength seems not enough to travel the world."

"If you don't think about cultivating to a higher level, it's not too late to go."

When he was young, Gao Zhan also wanted to travel the world and become an unrestrained casual cultivator.

But the severe beating in reality made him give up this idea.

Only enough strength is the balance to measure everything.

If the strength is not enough, everything else is in vain.

"It's not enough."

"But I am practicing and traveling at the same time, so why not?"

Chu Fei responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Gao Zhan didn't want to keep him anymore.

"In that case, I won't keep you anymore."

"However, you have to be careful yourself. The Liu family will take revenge. If you kill Liu Yin, they will definitely not sit idly by."

"They may not dare to do anything in the city, but not necessarily when you go out of the city."

Gao Zhan kindly reminded him.

"Thank you, the city lord, for telling me, the younger generation will be more careful."

Chu Fei clasped his fists and saluted to express his gratitude.

Hearing this, Gao Zhan didn't hold back, but waved his hand.

"Let's go back."

Chu Fei nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard.

After Chu Fei left, the man in black appeared in the pavilion.

"My lord, why don't you keep him?"

"With his talent, it shouldn't be difficult to break through to the Dao Enlightenment Realm within ten years."

"It's not impossible to become Daoist within a hundred years."

Gao Zhan shook his head with a smile, and looked at the direction Chu Fei left, "His heart is not here. I can tell that this kid has great ambitions, and even...his goal may not be the southern continent."

Hearing this, the man in black was also slightly surprised, and looked in the direction where Chu Fei was leaving.

"correct."

"Follow him. If he goes out of the city, if he is besieged by the Liu family, you don't have to do it if he can beat you. If his life is in danger, help him."

"It can be regarded as making him owe a favor. Maybe when he becomes a top powerhouse, I have to ask him for something."

"Hahaha."
