Lin Rui felt incredibly surprised and utterly confused.
Wasn't this County Magistrate being overly generous with him?
He speculated that his appointment must be related to Zhuang Mingyue.
Without the power of this deep and unmeasurable County Magistrate, how could that high-ranking protector of the region even think of letting him, a newly appointed 'Martial Cultivist Capital Commandant' with no background, take over Wang City?
Since his arrival just over twenty days ago, Zhuang Mingyue had promoted him several ranks in quick succession, not only appointing him as a seventh-grade Martial Cultivist Capital Commandant but also temporarily placing him as the deputy defender of Wang City, and even the acting defender.
The question was, why did Zhuang Mingyue favor him so much? On what basis?
If it weren't for the fact that Zhuang Mingyue's gaze had shown no signs of strangeness, Lin Rui might even suspect that the County Magistrate had taken a liking to him.
