My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 158 Online Apprenticeship (Page 13)

Zhao Wuji stood up and ordered the guards around him: "Immediately call all the guards to the meeting room and discuss the matter in a quarter of an hour!"

The guards took the order and quickly left the banquet hall. Zhao Wuji turned to Chen Yu, his tone apologetic, "Mr. Chen Yu, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid tonight's banquet will have to end abruptly."

Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency the City Lord is too kind. With the demons at hand, defending the city is the most important thing."

He stuffed his phone back into the worn cloth bag that had traveled with him. The bag felt like some kind of coarse linen, the edges and corners were badly worn, and there were some unknown stains on it. It looked inconspicuous, but it contained all kinds of treasures he brought from the modern era.

Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan also stood up to express their understanding. Lin Qingxue was dressed in a simple white dress, her long black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin, and she looked cool and noble.

Liu Ruyan was wearing a fiery red dress, which set off her fair skin and hot figure. Her peach blossom eyes were shining and charming.

Zhao Wuji nodded and said to Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, please come to the meeting room as well. Perhaps these... magical items of yours can help us."

He pointed at the router in Chen Yu's hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

This router is square and all black, with a few small lights flashing on it. In his opinion, it is indeed a rare thing.

Chen Yu naturally would not refuse. He was worried that he could not find an opportunity to further demonstrate his "strength" so that he could gain a firm foothold in this world.

He weighed the router in his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord City Lord, I will do my best."

The group left the banquet hall and headed for the meeting hall. The City Lord's Mansion was huge, with winding corridors, pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water. Chen Yu was dazzled by the sight along the way.

As he walked, he secretly looked around. The luxury of the City Lord's Mansion far exceeded his previous imagination.

The floor tiles are made of an unknown jade stone, which is as smooth as a mirror and can even reflect your own reflection when you walk on it.

The murals on the wall are lifelike, and each one seems to be telling a story.

The meeting hall is located in the center of the city lord's mansion and is a magnificent hall.

There was a huge round table in the hall, with more than a dozen chairs around it.

Chen Yu followed Zhao Wuji to the round table and sat down, while Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan sat on either side of Chen Yu respectively.

Soon, the guards from the City Lord's Mansion arrived one after another. They were dressed in armor and had long swords on their waists, and each of them looked majestic.

One of them, a burly, bearded middle-aged man, walked up to Zhao Wuji and saluted, "Lord City Lord, I, Li Dazhuang, am reporting for duty!"

His voice was so loud that it made Chen Yu's ears buzz.

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "General Li, you have worked hard. Please take a seat."

Li Dazhuang walked over and sat down opposite Chen Yu. His eyes fell on the router in Chen Yu's hand, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Other defenders also took their seats one after another. Their eyes fell on Chen Yu from time to time, their eyes full of curiosity.

They had all heard that Chen Yu had subdued the city lord's spirit deer with a strange "magic weapon" and were full of curiosity about this thin-looking young man.

After everyone arrived, Zhao Wuji cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Generals, I believe everyone has heard about the news of the demons' invasion again."

The guards nodded one after another, with solemn expressions on their faces.

"According to the spies' report, the number of demons this time is around 300, and they are approaching our Tianyuan City."

Zhao Wuji paused and continued, "Although their numbers are small, we cannot be careless. The strength of the demons cannot be underestimated."

Li Dazhuang said in a muffled voice, "Lord City Lord, I am willing to lead my brothers to drive these demons out!"

The other defenders also echoed this, expressing their determination to fight the demons to the death.

Zhao Wuji nodded, "I appreciate the loyalty and bravery of all the generals."

He turned to look at Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, do you have any suggestions?"

Chen Yu stroked his chin, pretending to be in deep thought. He actually had a plan in mind, just wanting to show off in front of everyone to improve his status.

He cleared his throat and said, "Lord City Lord, I suggest that we first find out the specific situation of the demon clan. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

"Mr. Chen Yu is absolutely right," said a thin, middle-aged man with a mustache. "But how can we learn the specifics of the demon clan?"

His name is Wang Moushi, and he is the chief strategist of the City Lord's Mansion. He is resourceful and has the trust of Zhao Wuji.

Chen Yu smiled slightly, took out his cell phone from his bag, and waved it at everyone, "We can use this."

When everyone saw the phone in Chen Yu's hand, they all looked curious.

To them, this phone looked like a piece of black jade, smooth and flat, exuding a mysterious aura.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Li Dazhuang asked curiously.

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously and did not directly answer Li Dazhuang's question. Instead, he pretended to be sophisticated and operated his mobile phone. He opened the photo album and found a previously downloaded online picture - a hideous demon warrior.

"Everyone, please look," Chen Yu showed the phone screen to everyone, "This is what a demon warrior looks like."

The demon warrior in the picture is more than two meters tall, with dark skin, a pair of curved horns on his head, exposed fangs, a ferocious face, and looks very scary.

The guards gasped as they looked at the demon warriors on their phone screens.

Although they had heard of the cruelty of the demons, they were still shocked when they saw the appearance of the demon warriors with their own eyes.

"This...is the demon clan?" Li Dazhuang widened his eyes, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"That's right," Chen Yu nodded, "This is the standard image of a demon warrior."

He paused and continued, "This treasure of mine can connect to a place called 'the network', where all kinds of information are stored, including data on the demons."

As he spoke, he slid the screen of his phone, showing some introduction about the demons.

These introductions were all found by him in his previous searches on the Internet, and he modified them slightly to become the way this world is said.

The defenders were stunned. It was the first time they heard of such a magical thing.

"Internet? What is that place?" asked Wang Moushi curiously.

Chen Yu explained: "The Internet is a virtual world that connects countless people. We can obtain various information through the Internet and communicate with others."

He paused and continued, "Just like we are now, I can use my phone to let you see what the demons look like and get their information."

Zhao Wuji looked at the phone in Chen Yu's hand, his eyes full of amazement, "Mr. Chen Yu, your baby is really amazing!"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Your Excellency, City Lord, are too kind. This is just an ordinary technological product in our area."

He was secretly proud of himself. It felt so good to show off.

At this moment, a maid came in and saluted Zhao Wuji, saying, "Lord City Lord, the young lady requests an audience."

"Wan'er?" Zhao Wuji was slightly stunned. "What is she doing here?"

The maid said, "Young lady heard that a distinguished guest had come to the City Lord's Mansion, so she came here specially to visit."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "Let her in."

The maid took the order and turned to leave.

After a while, a woman in a lavender dress walked in.

She is tall, beautiful, elegant, and has a pair of bright big eyes that sparkle with wisdom.

She is Zhao Wuji's daughter, the eldest daughter of the Tianyuan City Lord's Mansion - Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er walked up to Zhao Wuji and bowed, "Daddy."

Zhao Wuji smiled and said, "Wan'er, why are you here?"

Shangguan Wan'er said, "My daughter heard that a distinguished guest had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, so she came specially to visit."

Her gaze fell on Chen Yu, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

She had long heard that Chen Yu had subdued the city lord's spirit deer with a strange magic weapon, and was full of curiosity about this mysterious young man.

Zhao Wuji introduced Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, this is my daughter, Shangguan Wan'er."

He then said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, this is Mr. Chen Yu, from... a very far place."

He didn't know how to explain Chen Yu's origins, so he could only be vague.

Chen Yu stood up and bowed to Shangguan Wan'er, "Miss Shangguan, nice to meet you."

Shangguan Wan'er also bowed slightly. "Mr. Chen Yu, nice to meet you." Her eyes fell on the phone in Chen Yu's hand and she asked curiously, "Mr. Chen Yu, what treasure are you holding in your hand?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly, "This is called a mobile phone, it's a technological product over there."

He showed Shangguan Wan'er the screen of his phone. "Look, it can display images and play sounds."

He opened a video and played a street scene of a modern city.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the busy scene on her phone screen, her eyes filled with wonder, "Where... where is this?

How come there are so many running iron boxes?"

Chen Yu explained, "This is the city over there. Those iron boxes are called cars. They are used for transportation."

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned when she heard this. She was full of curiosity about the "technology" that Chen Yu mentioned.

She has been obsessed with the way of cultivating immortals since she was a child, and is full of yearning for all kinds of magical weapons and skills.

She felt that the mobile phone in Chen Yu's hand was more magical than any magic weapon she had ever seen.

"Mr. Chen Yu," Shangguan Wan'er suddenly said, "I would like to become your disciple and learn your... immortal magic."

Chen Yu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the city lord's daughter would want to take him as her master.

He was secretly delighted in his heart. He thought that he would never miss this beautiful disciple who came to his door.

He pretended to be reserved and said, "Miss Shangguan, if you want to learn my...technology, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Shangguan Wan'er said seriously, "Mr. Chen Yu, I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can learn your skills, I'm willing to do anything."

Chen Yu looked at Shangguan Wan'er's earnest eyes and felt even more proud.

He cleared his throat and said, "Since Miss Shangguan is so sincere, I will accept you as my disciple."

Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately knelt down in front of Chen Yu, "Disciple Shangguan Wan'er, I pay my respects to Master!"

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Get up. From now on, just call me Chen Yu."

Shangguan Wan'er stood up and stood respectfully behind Chen Yu, looking like a good disciple.

Zhao Wuji watched this scene and felt secretly happy. He could tell that his daughter admired Chen Yu very much. If she could become Chen Yu's disciple and learn his "immortal method", it would definitely benefit her cultivation.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen Yu, I'll leave Wan'er to you. You must teach her well."

Chen Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Lord City Lord, I will teach you everything I know."

He thought to himself, now that the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion has become his disciple, won't he be able to walk all over Tianyuan City with his own might in the future?

Zhao Wuji smiled brightly and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder: "Okay!
