Xi San, Shui Sheng

Chapter 43: Xi San, Shui Sheng

Blackwater City, City Lord's Mansion.

Unlike Qing Luan, who had simply found a secluded stone house to live in when he was in Qingluan City, Blackwater City had a formal City Lord's Mansion.

This City Lord's Mansion was the place where the Blackwater Kirin had resided.

Now, Shen Gui, as the guardian sent by Nuwa to Blackwater City, lived in this City Lord's Mansion.

Furthermore, for Shen Gui, the guardian sent by Nuwa, the Rhinoceros Clan and the Water Buffalo Clan had specially sent a few "young and beautiful" maids to serve him.

However, looking at the girls from the Rhinoceros and Water Buffalo Clans, their waists twisting like buckets, Shen Gui politely declined the kindness of both clans.

Their aesthetic sense was truly...

As for Shen Gui's actions, the clan leaders of both clans sighed again. As expected of the guardian sent by Empress Nuwa, his Dao heart was firm and he did not indulge in pleasure, and so on...

Shen Gui did not offer any explanation for this.

Let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

However, Shen Gui now had to find the clan leaders of both clans to talk again.

The reason was very simple.

Shen Gui was in urgent need of information about Southern Jambudvipa, but he himself had no leads.

As long-time residents of this place, the Rhinoceros Clan and the Water Buffalo Clan must have some understanding of their neighbors.

Therefore, Shen Gui decided to use his current identity to see if he could get some information about Southern Jambudvipa from these two clans.

After all, his current identity was the guardian sent by Nuwa, so these two clans would definitely give him face, or rather, give Empress Nuwa face.

Therefore, Shen Gui decided to talk to the clan leaders of both clans first before making any further plans.

Naturally, the clan leaders of both clans did not dare to neglect Shen Gui's invitation.

Not to mention that Nuwa and Fuxi stood behind Shen Gui, they dared not underestimate Shen Gui himself.

In the Great Desolation, the strong were respected. Now, Shen Gui was a Grand Unity Immortal realm existence, while the strongest in their clans were only Golden Immortals.

Therefore, as soon as Shen Gui expressed his desire to meet the clan leaders of both clans, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion hand in hand not long after.

The clan leader of the Rhinoceros Clan, Xi San.

The clan leader of the Water Buffalo Clan, Shui Sheng.

The clan leader of the Rhinoceros Clan was a rough-looking man. Because he ranked third, he was called Xi San. However, in terms of strength, he was the strongest in the Rhinoceros Clan, a late-stage Golden Immortal, which was why he became the clan leader.

The clan leader of the Water Buffalo Clan, Shui Sheng, was a young man with a simple and honest appearance. Because he was born in water, he was called Shui Sheng. He also had the cultivation of a late-stage Golden Immortal, which was why he became the clan leader of the Water Buffalo Clan.

Upon receiving Shen Gui's invitation, the two did not delay for a moment and came to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion together.

As the two arrived, Shen Gui's figure also appeared in the hall.

Seeing Shen Gui, Xi San and Shui Sheng bowed simultaneously and said, "Greetings, Guardian. May we know the important matter that brings us here today?"

After glancing at the two, Shen Gui did not beat around the bush and spoke directly, "I have been ordered by the Empress to guard this place for three thousand years. However, besides guarding Blackwater City, the Empress has actually given me another task. It's just that I am not familiar with the situation here, so I need the help of you two clan leaders."

Hearing Shen Gui say that the matter was related to Nuwa, Xi San and Shui Sheng exchanged glances and said in unison, "Guardian, rest assured. Since it concerns Empress Nuwa, whatever the Guardian commands, we will go through fire and water without hesitation." — Xi San and Shui Sheng were quite self-aware of this.

The reason they could hold the position of clan leader was not only because of their high cultivation but also because they were smart enough.

They, two mere Golden Immortals, might be kings and overlords in Blackwater City, but in the Great Desolation, they were like ants.

Therefore, if they did not hold onto the legs of Nuwa and Fuxi, they might perish at any moment.

Thus, when Shen Gui merely mentioned that the matter was related to Nuwa, they immediately expressed that there was no problem at all.

Seeing how sensible the two were, Shen Gui nodded secretly.

This way, he could save a lot of effort.

"The matter the Empress has instructed me to handle is for me to do, and it does not require your effort. However, this matter is related to Southern Jambudvipa, and I am not very familiar with the situation there. I believe you have lived in the border area between the Central Continent and Southern Jambudvipa for many years, so you should know something about Southern Jambudvipa. That's why I wanted to ask you."

Hearing Shen Gui say this, Xi San and Shui Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they wanted to latch onto powerful figures, sometimes they had to act within their means.

Since Nuwa sent a Grand Unity Immortal like Shen Gui to handle this matter, it must not be simple. If the two of them, mere Golden Immortals, got involved, they might perish.

However, Shen Gui now said that he did not need their involvement and only needed them to provide some information about Southern Jambudvipa. This was undoubtedly the outcome they desired the most — they could contribute, show their attitude, and yet face no danger. Why not?
