Wang Teng was somewhat surprised.

"coming."

Wang Wu laughed and said, "The couple is now in charge of the city's trivial matters, such as patrolling, training new recruits, and registering the population. They are the ones who are busy with all of these."

"You have no idea how many things happen in this city. If it weren't for them, your older brother and I would have been in a complete mess long ago."

Wang Teng nodded, secretly grateful to Ning Fengzhi for making such thoughtful arrangements.

The captain, who is at the Soul Saint level, is in charge of military deterrence, while the two vice-captains, who are at the Soul Venerable level, are in charge of daily affairs. In addition, the father and the eldest brother are in charge of the central command.

The framework of Tiger King City has been set up.

"There aren't many Soul Masters in the city yet. Su Yuntao and Sisi are both Soul Venerables, so they're more than capable of handling these matters."

Ning Fengzhi added, "When there are more Soul Masters in the city in the future, I will send more people over."

Chapter 384 Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Library

While everyone was talking, Wang Wu had already prepared the meal.

A large round table was set up in the restaurant, covered with a brand-new tablecloth, with bowls and plates neatly arranged.

One dish after another was served, some with fish, some with meat, some with vegetables. Although they weren't delicacies, each dish exuded the warmth of home cooking.

Wang Wu specially opened a jar of fine wine, saying he bought it from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and had been reluctant to drink it, waiting for today.

"Come, in-law, let me toast you."

Wang Wu picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said, "Teng'er owes his success today to your support."

Ning Fengzhi also stood up and clinked glasses with Wang Wu: "You're too kind, in-law."

"Wang Teng is a promising kid. He works hard on his own, and I'm just going with the flow."

The two drank it all in one gulp, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Wang Wu, holding his wine glass, looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing with a smile and said, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, you are both good girls."

"If Teng'er ever bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll take care of him for you!"

Ning Rongrong blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Uncle."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Wang Teng shook his head helplessly, picked up his wine glass, and changed the subject: "Brother, how long will it take for the construction in the city to be completed?"

"It's coming soon."

Wang Sheng counted on his fingers and explained, "The city wall has been repaired, and the city lord's mansion is almost finished. The main focus is on the houses and shops in the city, which should be completed in about two or three months."

"At that time, this place will be a real city."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad."

Wang Teng raised his glass.

"It's our own business, why bother?"

Wang Sheng smiled and clinked glasses with him.

As night deepens outside the window, the city lights twinkle in every home.

The brand-new city stood quietly under the moonlight, like a newborn baby, full of infinite possibilities.

On the second day at home, Ning Fengzhi took Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and left first.

Sword Douluo accompanied them as the carriage drove out of Tiger King City in the morning light.

The wheels rolled over the bluestone pavement, making a crisp sound.

Ning Rongrong lifted the carriage curtain, waved to Wang Teng who was standing at the city gate, and called out, "Remember to come find us at the sect in a few days!"

Zhu Zhuqing sat next to Ning Rongrong. Although she didn't speak, she glanced at Wang Teng through the car window and pursed her lips slightly.

Wang Teng raised his hand and waved, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the official road before turning his gaze away.

Wang Wu stood behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Rest at home for a few days and then go. Don't keep the girl waiting too long."

"Don't worry about things at home, your older brother will take care of them."

"Got it, Dad."

Wang Teng smiled, turned around, and went back to the city.

In the following days, Wang Teng did not rush to leave.

He accompanied his elder brother Wang Sheng on a tour of Tiger King City, looking at everything from the city walls to the streets and alleys, from the shops to the residences.

Wang Sheng enthusiastically introduced the city's planning to Wang Teng.

Where should a primary soul master academy be built? Where should a market be opened? Which street is reserved for merchants? Which area is for villagers to live in?

"In two years, this place will be bustling with activity."

Wang Sheng pointed to a vacant lot under construction in the west of the city, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Teng nodded without saying anything more.

He knew that this city embodied all the hard work of his father and elder brother, and was the foundation for their future.

Having spent most of his time cultivating away from home, all he can leave his family is this city.

Bone Douluo stayed by Wang Teng's side, hiding in the space and rarely showing himself, only appearing when necessary.

Wang Teng had gotten used to this kind of protection, and continued to do what he needed to do, acting as if the old man didn't exist.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the seventh day, Wang Teng bid farewell to his father and elder brother and left Tiger King City accompanied by Bone Douluo.

The carriage traveled south along the newly built official road, entering the rolling mountains and forests.

The distance from Tiger King Ridge to Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not far; it takes about a day by carriage.

In other words, Tiger King Ridge is actually within the sphere of influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This was arranged by Ning Fengzhi specifically for the purpose of making it easier to take care of things.

The carriage traveled along the mountain road, flanked by dense forests. Occasionally, patrolling disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could be seen passing by the roadside. Upon seeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's insignia on the carriage, they would all stop and pay their respects.

The next morning, the carriage drove out of the mountains and forests, and a bright and open view suddenly appeared before us.

A magnificent city came into view, built against the mountain, with an imposing presence.

To the south of the city is a tall mountain range with steep slopes and overlapping peaks, the summit of which is hidden in the clouds and cannot be seen in its entirety.

The city is built around this mountain range, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the middle, layer upon layer, in a well-organized manner.

This is Qibao City.

The core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As the carriage entered the city, Wang Teng lifted the curtain and peered out curiously.

The prosperity of Qibao City exceeded his expectations.

The streets are wide and clean, bustling with pedestrians and vehicles, creating a lively atmosphere.

The streets are lined with shops selling gemstones, metals, appraisal services, and auctions, with a dazzling array of signs.

A unique scent permeated the air.

It's not the aroma of food, but a crisp, metallic scent, a blend of gemstones and metal.

The architecture here is also very distinctive, with tower-like buildings everywhere. Tall towers stand on both sides of the street, and the closer you get to the city center, the denser and taller the towers become.

Some of the towers pierce the clouds, shimmering with golden light in the sunlight.

"These towers are all the property of the sect."

Bone Douluo appeared beside Wang Teng at some point and explained calmly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School started with gemstones and metals, and these towers are the result of the sect building them little by little over the years."

"This is also a kind of mimicry training ground."

Wang Teng nodded and continued to survey the unfamiliar city.

The carriage passed through the bustling commercial district, and the further in it went, the fewer pedestrians there were and the more tranquil the environment became.

Soon, they arrived at the city center.

That is, at the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, one can see a stone staircase winding upwards from the foot of the mountain, extending deep into the clouds, with no end in sight.

Ancient trees tower on both sides of the stone steps, their green canopy providing ample shade. Occasionally, birds flit past the treetops, their calls clear and melodious.

At the end of the stone steps, one can vaguely see some undulating buildings, half-hidden in the clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing like a fairyland.

"Let's go."

Bone Douluo was the first to step onto the stone steps.

Wang Teng followed behind, climbing the steps.

The stone steps are long, but not difficult to walk.

Each step is polished smooth, and there are stone benches on both sides for people to rest.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the clouds and mist gradually dispersed, and the view before us suddenly opened up.

This is the true core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—the architectural complex halfway up the mountain.

A huge door stood before us, with five powerful characters carved on the lintel.

It was the "Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School".

Two guards in silver armor stood on either side of the door. Upon seeing Bone Douluo, they immediately bowed in salute.

Upon entering the gate, you are greeted by a vast plaza paved with white jade, so smooth it reflects light like a mirror.

It was early morning, and the rising sun had just passed over the mountain peaks. The golden sunlight shone on the white jade ground, reflecting a soft glow.

In the square, dozens of sect disciples dressed in uniform white attire were doing their morning exercises.
