Xue Yingsong shook his head: "Not yet, it's not that easy. Canglong City is on high alert against Jidong City, and vice versa. We can only continue to investigate what the treasure is.
"If it doesn't work, I'll have to trouble you to go there."
At the end, Xue Yingsong suddenly changed the subject and looked at Gu Ran meaningfully.
Even if I am useful, you can't use me to death.
Be a human being.
Gu Ran opened his mouth, wanting to refuse directly.
Xue Yingsong seemed to see through Gu Ran's intention and immediately said, "Don't rush to refuse. You have also discovered how strong you are. Although you don't have martial arts and supernatural powers now, your actual combat power can be regarded as the best in Canglong City. Moreover, with your physical strength, there are very few people who can hurt you.
"So you are the most suitable person in the entire Canglong City. Besides, don't you want to see for yourself what this treasure that can control the flow of time is? Moreover, this is also your chance. If you go, you will contribute to Canglong City, so all the spoils will be yours. Moreover, Canglong City will not treat its meritorious officials unfairly and will give them other rewards."
My goodness, is this a direct bribe
I have to say, Gu Ran was a little moved.
Because he was also very curious about the treasure related to time in the Far East City.
Is there really a treasure in this world that can make people immortal
Are there any real examples
Suddenly, a vague figure emerged in Gu Ran's mind.
He was a mysterious figure who even the Ark Core, which was able to circumvent the rules to a certain extent, had to mosaic him. Not only did he lead humans to build nine arks and survive the flood, he also sealed the Eye of the Sea together with the mermaid queen at that time.
"prophet"!
From the conversation on the light screen, we learned that the "prophet" had lived for hundreds of years at that time.
And in the end, the "prophet" did not "die" in the normal sense, but more like "disappeared".
So is the "prophet" still alive
Is the treasure in Far East City related to the "Prophet"
"Perhaps, immortality... is not completely impossible." Gu Ran murmured.
Xue Yingsong looked at Gu Ran in surprise.
... ...
This incident gave Gu Ran a wake-up call.
He didn't even realize that Teacher Wu Wang, who had been by his side, had fallen into the trap.
Now we are getting to know Teacher Wu Wang for the first time, but what about the future
Was this an accident or some kind of "fate"
And the mysterious figure "The Prophet" recorded in the core of the Ark seemed to have reappeared faintly.
Did he die back then, or was he alive in some alternative way
Although judging from the images recorded in the Ark Core, the "Prophet" is a person with very deep feelings for humans and should not do anything cruel to humans.
But people do change, just like the elders at the center of government. When they were young, they made huge contributions to Canglong City, but when they reached old age, they only thought about maintaining their power, or even went a step further and used their power to seek immortality for themselves.
As there were no other clues at the moment, Gu Ran temporarily put this incident and idea in the bottom of his heart and continued to think about it later.
Canglong City returned to its previous state, as if nothing had changed before.
With the participation of relevant auxiliary psychics and the help of Star Stone Technology, the destroyed city area was rebuilt in less than a month. It was not only restored to its original state, but also looked brand new.
Except for a few unlucky people who died accidentally during the war for other reasons, no other ordinary people died during the demon army's attack on Canglong City.
It is obvious that this action was premeditated and targeted the bounty hunters in the ruling center and New Covenant City in Canglong City, and did not affect ordinary people.
As for Yuan Laiqing from Jidong City, he bumped into him by himself.
However, Gu Ran was not afraid of Xue Yingsong.
Perhaps it was because although Xue Yingsong was full of calculations in this incident, he did not take so many innocent lives into account after all.
If Xue Yingsong is willing to take into account the countless ordinary people in a district of Canglong City in order to achieve his own goals, then Gu Ran will have to re-evaluate Xue Yingsong.
He didn't dare to have a heart-to-heart with such a president of Lanxin University, nor did he dare to continue to serve in Lanxin University.
But it's okay now. He can still accept Xue Yingsong's methods and purposes, and Canglong City has indeed become better under Xue Yingsong's drastic reforms.
This "coup" was unexpectedly successful. Not only did the various departments under the ruling center quickly accept the leadership of the temporary special committee, but the vast majority of ordinary people in Canglong City also welcomed the temporary special committee organized by Xue Yingsong.
The original ruling center had already aroused dissatisfaction among the people of Canglong City.
As for the explanation for this coup...
There is a bad guy in the ruling center. It is that bad guy in the ruling center who colluded with the people of Jidong City and let the warriors of Jidong City lead other elders astray.
Moreover, there is irrefutable evidence that the body of Yuan Laiqing, the famous martial arts master of Jidong City, is in Canglong City.
If there was no conspiracy, why would he sneak into Canglong City
You should know that Canglong City has never welcomed people from Jidong City.
Therefore, after the body of Hara Laiqing was exposed as evidence, this statement immediately became very convincing.
The ordinary people of Canglong City quickly accepted the explanation of this incident released by the temporary special committee.
Canglong City also gained a moral advantage over Jidong City, leaving room for "seeking justice" from Jidong City in the future.
If Gu Ran didn't know that Xue Yingsong really preferred scientific research, he would have almost regarded Xue Yingsong as a political careerist who had been fostering his ambitions for many years.
However, after learning about Xue Yingsong's policy, Gu Ran nodded in his heart.
Breaking away from the previous climate of corruption and inaction, all departments at the center of government are now operating with unprecedented efficiency.
The ordinary people of Canglong City gained great convenience, and the prestige of the Temporary Special Committee and Xue Yingsong was established and further deepened.
However, what surprised Gu Ran was that the old fox Xue Yingsong actually pushed him in front of the people of Canglong City and asked him to accept their respect and cheers.
Yes, if there are villains in propaganda, then there must also be heroes.
Gu Ran is this hero, who saved Canglong City from danger, thwarted the villain's conspiracy, and defeated the demon general of the abyss. The video of Gu Ran fighting Lilith was recorded by Xue Yingsong by some unknown means. Although there was only the part about Canglong City, it also became one of the popular materials for publicity.
And with the huge crater left by the battle in the wilderness, it is even more convincing.
Gu Ran was naturally treated like a hero.
... ...
"Hero brother! Wait a minute, hero brother!" A little girl of seven or eight years old chased after Gu Ran who was about to return to Lanxin University to teach his students.
Gu Ran looked back with some surprise and said, "Little sister, what do you want to ask me? Also, I don't want to call you Brother Yingxiong."
The little girl had pigtails and big, watery eyes. She wrinkled her cute nose and said, "But everyone calls you a hero. You are the great hero of Canglong City, so you are the hero brother."
Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, Brother Yingxiong is Brother Yingxiong, so what do you want to see Brother Yingxiong for?"
The little girl took a wreath in her hand and immediately jumped forward and said, "Oh, brother Yingxiong, you are too tall. Squat down. I want to give this to you!
"You protected us all, so I came to thank you. My family runs a flower shop, and I used a lot of flowers to weave this."
Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He squatted down and lowered his head to let the little girl put the wreath on him.
"Ah, I should go back now, or my mother will be worried. Brother Yingxiong, my house is over there. If you want to give flowers to your girlfriend, come to our house. I'll ask my mother to give you a discount!"
The little girl waved to Gu Ran, then jumped back.
Gu Ran watched her return home to make sure she was safe.
"Being a hero doesn't seem so bad..."
Gu Ran stroked the wreath, smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and murmured in his heart.

"You seem to be in a good mood today." Xue Yingsong sat in the conference room, looking at Gu Ran who was leaving get out of class, and said with a smile.
"Not bad." Gu Ran glanced at the conference room and found that it was almost full.
The meeting had clearly not started yet, but these people had arrived early, and in the end it seemed that he, who was supposed to arrive at a normal time, was late.
Gu Ran found that the only empty seat was next to Xue Yingsong, so he walked over and sat down.
Seeing Gu Ran's actions, many people in the conference room moved their eyes slightly and had a slightly strange look on their faces, but no one dared to speak out.
"Okay, the most important person in our meeting is here. We can start the meeting." Xue Yingsong said.
Xue Yingsong had informed Gu Ran before this meeting, and the main purpose of the discussion was to deal with the issue of Longmen City, as well as the attitude towards New Covenant City and Far East City.
These issues were all related to him, so when Xue Yingsong invited him to attend the meeting, he did not refuse.
However, after sitting down, Gu Ran felt that the purpose of this old fox Xue Yingsong seemed to be more than just that.
Because he felt that the other people sitting there were looking at him in a very subtle way.
"Haha, I'm sure you all are familiar with this teacher Leng Ran next to me. He is the hero who saved our Canglong City." Xue Yingsong said with a smile, "Let's applaud the hero of Canglong City!"
As he spoke, Xue Yingsong led the applause.
There was a burst of warm applause in the conference room, each clapping louder than the last, and everyone's eyes turned to Gu Ran.
