"Take a maid? Do you still have a maid?" Gu Tong said in confusion.

Weiwei immediately understood what Yan Ning wanted to say. An anxious expression appeared on her face. Before she could stop it, Yan Ning said first: "I think Weiwei is good. Why don't you give her to me and let her go to the Yinyue Palace with me."

When Gu Tong heard this, he immediately lowered his face: "Vivi is the playmate I have been fighting since I was a child. It is not something that can be given to others at will. If you want a maid, you can choose from the city lord's mansion, but Vivi can't do it!"

Seeing Gu Tong protecting herself like this, Weiwei was quite moved: "Miss, you misunderstood. Mr. Yan Ning didn't mean that."

Yan Ning smiled and said, "I think Vivi has good qualifications. It's not too late to practice now. If you really treat her as a sister, you should give her a chance to take her to the Yinyue Palace to practice."

Gu Tong was silent for a moment, but a trace of brilliance appeared in her eyes. She turned to Weiwei and asked, "Viwei, do you really want to practice?"

"I……"

Yan Ning said seriously: "Tell me the most true thoughts in my heart. Is it yours willing to work in the city lord's mansion for the rest of your life or to take a path to prove yourself, all in between this answer."

Yan Ning's words made Weiwei feel firm. She nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Miss, I want to practice!"

"That's great!" Gu Tong said happily, "Vivi, I hope you will accompany me to the Yinyue Palace!"

"But... can I really go?" Weiwei asked.

Gu Tong calmed down and suddenly became disappointed: "I just remembered that in order not to encourage the unhealthy trend of the children of rich nobles, Yinyue Palace is absolutely forbidden to bring his subordinates in."

Weiwei's eyes dimmed: "So, I am destined to be out of the way to practice."

"That's not necessarily!" Yan Ning smiled, "Vivi actually doesn't have to enter the Hidden Moon Palace as a maid."

Gu Tong hesitated and said, "You mean..."

"That's right, she can be admitted to the Yinyue Palace as a disciple!"

"This is impossible!" Gu Tong said immediately, "The entrance examination for Yinyue Palace is not that simple. Only a guy like you who has the strength of the celestial immortal realm can guarantee that you can enter, but Vivi..."

Yan Ning asked: "What is the exam in Yinyue Palace like?"

Gu Tong replied: "The exam questions in Yinyue Palace are different every year. Last year, the exam questions I entered the palace were to live alone in the back mountain of Yinyue Palace for a month. There were all kinds of poisonous flowers and weeds in the back mountain, and poisonous miasma appeared every night, not to mention those ferocious monsters... Last year, there were more than 300 people taking the exam, but there were 50 places to enter the palace, but only twenty-three people were really persisted. This is why Elder Bai Xuanqing did not accept all his disciples."

Yan Ning put down his chopsticks and held his chin with one hand: "Gu Tong, you are really lucky."

Gu Tong was stunned, wondering why Yan Ning said that.

Yan Ning smiled and said, "You must have found a hidden cave and hid for a month, right?"

"How do you know?" Gu Tong said in surprise.

"The real terrifying thing about this exam is not the poisonous flowers and weeds, nor the poisonous miasma monsters, but the disciples who compete with you. There are 300 disciples running for election, and there are only fifty places to enter the palace. This is not an exam, but a war! When you hide, I don't know how many disciples die in the back mountain of the Yinyue Palace!"

Gu Tong became silent when he heard this.

"It seems that the entrance examination for Yinyue Palace is indeed not simple, but if I have protected Vivi, it should not be difficult." Yan Ning said.

Gu Tong hesitated: "As you said, the palace entrance exam is very dangerous, I... don't want Vivi to take the risk."

"Anything that changes destiny is accompanied by risks. I just propose a method. The final decision is in Vivi's own hands, and even you have no right to intervene."

After Yan Ning finished speaking, he started to eat, while Gu Tong and Wei Wei had their own thoughts and had no appetite for eating.

After lunch, a carriage flew into the sky outside the city lord's mansion. Although it was a carriage, the horse had wings and was extremely fast. It soon landed in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion. Yan Ning followed Gu Tong to greet him.

Gu Tianxing walked off the carriage, his face looked a little unfavorable. Gu Tong couldn't help asking, "Dad, where did you go in the morning, what happened?"

"Go to the hall and talk."

Gu Tianxing hesitated for a moment: "Yan Ning, come here together."

Yan Ning felt strange, what did he need to listen to as an outsider?

The three of them came to the hall, and Gu Tianxing sat above and said while tasting tea: "We are in trouble in Lanyue City."

"Lanyuecheng, led by his father, has been doing good weather and the people live and work in peace and contentment. What trouble can there be?" Gu Tong said in confusion.

Yan Ning also observed it while shopping in the city last night. The people in Lanyue City were all red and seemed to have not lived hard. At this time, he also had the same doubts in his heart.

"It's not the one Zhu Hong is doing it," Gu Tianxing sighed, "I have a premonition that Zhu Hong will use methods to Lanyue City, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. This morning, Sha Feibai, the messenger of Youliangzhou City, passed by a small town near our Lanyue City. He happened to meet Zhu Hong and others who came back to Tianqi County. Zhu Hong held a grudge against our affairs, so he said a lot of bad things about our Lanyue City in front of Sha Feibai, saying that I, Gu Tianxing, privately embezzled taxes and had a corrupt character, and threatened that I would never let the merchants of Tianqi County City interact with our Lanyue County City again."

"In recent years, although the taxes paid by Lanyue City are the lowest among the three counties, there is absolutely no adulteration. But Sha Feibai believed that Zhu Hong's words and thought that I, Gu Tianxing, embezzled the taxes! I went to see Sha Feibai in the morning and was questioned by him... Tongtong, you know what my father's temper is. Sha Feibai is very suspicious and will come to visit our Lanyue County City soon. Although I, Gu Tianxing, have a clear conscience, when Sha Feibai comes, he will inevitably pick bones from the eggs. Even if he can't find anything, he will criticize our Lanyue County City's poor development. Then he will go back to Youliangzhou to say something. I guess I, the lord of Lanyue County City, will not be able to sit for too long."

Gu Tianxing has been the city lord in Lanyue City for decades and is very familiar with everything about Lanyue City. If he stepped down, it will not only be an impact on Lanyue City, but Zhu Hong will also take the opportunity to attack Lanyue City and deliberately put the people of Lanyue City in dire straits, so as to make Gu Tianxing feel guilty and achieve the effect of revenge.

Therefore, Sha Feibai came to Lanyue City as a guest. If Gu Tianxing was not careful, he might be caught by Sha Feibai and let that villain Zhu Hong succeed.
