Shi Kong offered Xiao Yan some suggestions regarding the operation of the auction house.
"Time and space, let the auction house operate as you say."
"And you're right. As more and more beings from all the myriad worlds receive invitations from Time City, the number of them coming to Time City is increasing, and I really can't handle it all by myself."
"We do need to find a few people to serve Time City."
"But, the beings who come to Time City from all the myriad worlds are all invited by Time City through random invitations. How can I find people among them who will serve Time City?"
Xiao Yan had new questions about hiring people to serve Time City.
"Master, please rest assured that the Time-Space City sends out invitations to beings in all the myriad worlds every month. The limitation of only 10 invitations is because each invitation consumes a certain amount of energy during its journey through the myriad worlds."
"Because the Time-Space City is still in a state of severe damage, the number of invitations issued to beings in all the worlds is limited each month."
"As the city lord of Time-Space City, you can personally issue invitations to Time-Space City to beings you approve of, and the number of invitations you can personally issue is not limited by Time-Space City."
"Of course, I still suggest that you try to avoid sending out invitations in this way until you have absolute strength."
"Time and space, I understand!"
"Before I have the strength to suppress everything, I absolutely cannot let the news that I have taken control of Time and Space City and become its lord leak out."
"Master, I'm glad you understand."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan said, "Time and Space, among the people hired for Time and Space City, there is already a suitable candidate, and that is Xia Jiuyou, the little girl who is Gai Jiuyou's disciple."
"What do you think about hiring Xia Jiuyou and having her serve Time-Space City?"
“Master, Xia Jiuyou has been by Gai Jiuyou’s side for many years, and her vision and knowledge are exceptional.”
"Moreover, Gai Jiuyou did not know what happened in the world he lived in after his death."
"Therefore, if he wants to change his original fate and successfully stop the Dark Turmoil, his cultivation level must approach that of the immortals in the world he lives in, which is the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm in Time-Space City."
"Gai Jiuyou's aptitude is sufficient to support him to cultivate in seclusion within the Time-Space City to the peak of the fifth level of the Extraordinary Realm, but this will require a lot of time."
"During the time that Gai Jiuyou is in seclusion, if you can offer enough benefits, I think Xia Jiuyou would be willing to accept your employment and serve Time-Space City."
In response to Xiao Yan's question, Shi Kong confirmed his idea.
"Time and Space, the current Time and Space City is not very large. It only needs two or three people to maintain the most basic normal operation of Time and Space City."
"If what you're saying is true, after hiring Xia Jiuyou to work for Time City, do I only need to select a store manager for the trading building, and then I can confidently do things that are more important for the development of Time City?"
Xiao Yan suddenly asked the question about time and space.
“Master, that’s how it is in theory.”
"Since this works, let's do it this way. All I need to do now is select a manager for the trading building, and that will be enough."
"Time and Space, do you have any suggestions for the selection of the store manager of the trading building?"
“Master, my advice is that you only need to choose one person you can trust, and leave the rest to Time City.”
Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Shi Kong, "Shi Kong, if that's the case, can I select someone from the Xiao family and send them an invitation to Shi Kong City so they can enter Shi Kong City?"
“Master, my opinion remains the same as what I just told you: as long as the person you decide on is trustworthy and won’t leak the news that you will become the lord of Time and Space City, that’s enough.”
“In that case, I can simply choose someone from the Xiao family to become the owner of the trading building.”
"But little girls like Xun'er and Xiao Mei'er could easily slip up and be discovered if I'm not careful. So, who should I choose?"
"Oh right, how could I forget about her? I can still choose her!"
Thinking of someone, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise his palm. Looking at his palm, he recalled the unforgettable, wonderful feeling that had appeared on his palm that day.

Chapter Seventy: The Ancient Dragon of the Void
Based on feedback from some readers, I have made some modifications to the setting of the Great Dao that appeared in Chapters 4 and 22. Interested readers can refresh and reread it.
Of course, even if you don't care about this change, it won't affect your subsequent reading.
···············
With Xiao Yan sporting two black eyes and a bruised and swollen face, bringing the tall and slender Xiao Yu into Time City, Time City's trading building finally had a manager.
After Xiao Yu became the manager of the Time-Space City Trading Building, Xia Jiuyou also accepted Xiao Yan's invitation to work for Time-Space City.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan first created a simple platform for posting missions in Time and Space City, and then temporarily registered this mission platform under the name of the Trading Building, with Xiao Yu in charge.
After instructing Xiao Yu on matters concerning Liu Bian and some operational rules of the trading building, Xiao Yan had the Time-Space Bureau grant Xiao Yu some additional privileges within the Time-Space City.
After Xiao Yu took over as the manager of the trading building, Xiao Yan transferred Xia Jiuyou to be Xiao Yu's deputy, and then Xiao Yan left Time City.
When Xiao Yan left Time City, he told Xia Jiuyou and Xiao Yu that their salaries would be directly deposited into their Time City invitation letters on the last day of each month.
After Xiao Yu and Xia Jiuyou were able to take charge of the most basic operation of Time-Space City, Xiao Yan planned to enter the world inhabited by the beings from all the myriad worlds who came to Time-Space City.
With the information he possessed and his understanding of the subsequent developments in these worlds, Xiao Yan was confident that he could gain certain benefits from them.
Of course, Xiao Yan will only go to places where he can gain something with his one-star Dou Ling cultivation level.
Even if the Time City protected Gai Jiuyou's safety, Xiao Yan would not go to the world he lived in before he had sufficient strength.
Xiao Yan was unaware that everything he had done these past few days was being silently watched by an unparalleled being.
"With all the arrangements I've made over the years, no matter how much trouble Xiao Yan causes on the Dou Qi Continent, as long as he doesn't wipe out half of the Dou Qi Continent, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Thousand World will never detect anything unusual."
