Immortal Doctor Expert in Urban

Chapter 1255: The Chosen One

Lin Fei looked at the square, where over a thousand cultivation experts of the Yuan family knelt down, calling him the new City Lord, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, the nine Patriarchs including Ouyang Stone also descended, their faces showing a joyful expression, and they clasped their fists towards Lin Fei, saying: "Congratulations to Young Master Lin for becoming the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City!"

Lin Fei snapped back to his senses, already realizing that the kneeling of all the Yuan family experts and their calling him the new City Lord was certainly instructed and required by the nine Patriarchs.

The Yuan family had fallen, and Thousand Dragon City could not remain leaderless. Moreover, Lin Fei was the one who defeated Yuan Zheng, his strength having already convinced all the experts present.

Therefore, apart from Lin Fei, no one dared to covet the position of the new City Lord.

And Lin Fei, upon coming to the Holy Dragon Continent, also needed to establish a foothold and build his own power in a real sense.

Thus, he would start with Thousand Dragon City as his starting point.

Of course, Lin Fei had already accepted the position of the new City Lord, but his face still had to show humility, and he said to Ouyang Stone: "Patriarch Ouyang, how could I have the virtue or ability to become the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City?"

Lin Fei's demurral was unexpected by the surrounding thousands of guests; if it had been someone else, they would have eagerly accepted becoming the lord of a city.

But Lin Fei actually declined the position of City Lord.

This made them admire Lin Fei, who possessed such astonishing strength yet remained so humble.

The nine Patriarchs, including Ouyang Stone, also did not expect Lin Fei to refuse. The nine exchanged glances with each other.

Then, Ouyang Stone, full of respect, earnestly pleaded: "Young Master Lin, what Yuan Zheng and his family did was obviously the work of robbers and villains. You defeated this robber family for everyone in Thousand Dragon City. It is the will of the people that the position of the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City belongs to you alone."

Having said that, Ouyang Stone emotionally knelt down and said to Lin Fei: "Please, Young Master Lin, become our new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City, otherwise, I, Ouyang Stone, will remain kneeling on the ground."

The other eight Patriarchs, seeing Ouyang Stone so earnest in wanting Lin Fei to become the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City, although they felt there was a fair deal of performance in it, were not to be outdone and also knelt down, shouting loudly: "Please, Young Master Lin, become our new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City, otherwise, we will remain kneeling on the ground."

The over a thousand Yuan family experts in the square also once again shouted: "Please, Young Master Lin, become our new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City!"

Seeing the nine Patriarchs and over a thousand Yuan family experts all kneeling and pleading for Lin Fei to become the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City, the cries echoing in the sky, and the people kneeling all over the ground, the surrounding thousands of guests were stunned.

Moved by the determined atmosphere of the nine Patriarchs and over a thousand Yuan family experts earnestly pleading for Lin Fei to become the new City Lord, many of the surrounding thousands of guests couldn't help but urge Lin Fei: "Young Master Lin, just agree to them and become the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City!"

"That's right, Young Master Lin, just agree to them!"

"If you don't agree to them, they will not get up from their knees."

Lin Fei did not expect Ouyang Stone and the nine Patriarchs to perform so earnestly and to such a high standard, even moving the onlookers to speak on their behalf.

In fact, Lin Fei had no objection to becoming the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City; he only wanted to modestly refuse first before accepting, so as not to appear overly eager for the position.

However, he did not expect his symbolic modesty to result in Ouyang Stone and the nine Patriarchs performing so arduously.

If he still didn't agree, who knows what more astonishing performance Ouyang Stone and they might put up.

Therefore, Lin Fei had no choice but to show a reluctant expression and said to the nine Patriarchs: "Patriarchs, please rise! I agree to become your new City Lord, is that agreeable?"

Although the nine, including Ouyang Stone, expected Lin Fei to agree, they still showed expressions of ecstasy and said: "Young Master Lin, you really agreed to become our new City Lord? That's wonderful!"

"Greetings to the new City Lord!"

The nine then kowtowed three times to Lin Fei, their performance superb, reaching a highly polished level.

"Patriarchs, please rise quickly!" Facing such skillful acting, Lin Fei had to join in with their play.

All the Yuan family experts in the square once again shouted: "Congratulations to the new City Lord on his unmatched feats, and wishing him great success!"

Lin Fei showed a smile on his face and said: "All experts, please rise!"

"Thank you, City Lord!" All the cultivation experts stood up from the ground.

At this moment, Lin Fei looked at all the cultivation experts and said: "Honored by everyone's trust and affection in recommending me as the new City Lord of Thousand Dragon City, since I am now the new City Lord, I will certainly not let everyone down and will surely protect our Thousand Dragon City."

All the cultivation experts in the square immediately responded with enthusiastic applause, agreeing: "The new City Lord speaks well!"

"The new City Lord is right!"

...

Lin Fei's words immediately closed the distance between him and all the cultivation experts.

These cultivation experts were all former experts of the Yuan family, and although they had pledged allegiance to Lin Fei, they were still worried that Lin Fei would be difficult to please.

But the first thing Lin Fei told them was that he didn't want to let everyone down and promised to protect Thousand Dragon City. This was exceedingly rare, as the previous City Lord, Yuan Zheng, had never spoken to them in this way.

Yuan Zheng only treated them as subordinates to order around, and even for the protection of Thousand Dragon City, Yuan Zheng would only send these subordinates and not himself or any other member of the Yuan family.

In the eyes of all the cultivation experts, the Yuan family was the lofty masters, while they were merely servants.

But Lin Fei gave them a different feeling, not like the high and mighty Yuan Zheng and the Yuan family.

"Furthermore, although I am your new City Lord, Thousand Dragon City is vast, and there are many affairs. Relying on my strength alone, it's naturally impossible to manage everything completely, so I would like to appoint the nine Patriarchs as our Vice City Lords of Thousand Dragon City. What does everyone think?" Lin Fei immediately announced his appointments to everyone.

Lin Fei's words caused great surprise among everyone.

For Lin Fei to appoint nine Vice City Lords at once?

Such a thing probably hasn't been seen in any other major cultivation cities of the Holy Dragon Continent?

In general, a major cultivation city has one City Lord, and sometimes one Vice City Lord, who is usually a member of the City Lord's family.

Appointing nine Vice City Lords at once, like Lin Fei, and they are not even from Lin Fei's family, is unprecedented.

The nine Patriarchs, including Ouyang Stone, were stunned as well. For Lin Fei to appoint them all as Vice City Lords at once was simply unbelievable, and it filled their hearts with immense joy.

The over a thousand cultivation experts on the square finally snapped back to their senses and knelt down together, shouting loudly: "The City Lord is wise! We agree with the City Lord's wise decision!"

The nine Patriarchs, including Ouyang Stone, also hurriedly knelt before Lin Fei: "We are grateful for the City Lord's trust, appointing us to such an important position as Vice City Lords. We are willing to die a thousand deaths to repay the City Lord."

This time, the nine Patriarchs, including Ouyang Stone, were not acting; their gratitude towards Lin Fei was genuine.

Because when Yuan Zheng was City Lord, he had never considered appointing them as Vice City Lords; he was more defensive and suspicious of them instead.

But as soon as Lin Fei became the new City Lord, he appointed them as Vice City Lords, making them wholeheartedly loyal to Lin Fei.

"Nine Vice City Lords, there's no need to be so formal, please rise!" Lin Fei said calmly.

"Thank you, City Lord!" The nine, including Ouyang Stone, were moved to the point of tears, their eyes slightly red.
