Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15746 Fermentation
The group was stunned by Fucha's words, but their expressions changed. They all stood up and bowed to Fucha, saying, "We are willing to follow Senior Brother Fucha to the death."

Seeing their condition, Fucha stood up and helped them up with a wave of his hand. He then said, "No need to be so polite. Since you've said that, we're brothers from now on. I need to make this clear to you: if you decide to follow me today, you can't betray me anymore. If anyone dares to betray me, I'll risk being punished by the sect to kill them. Do you understand?"

The group responded in unison, and Fucha nodded. He then said, "Alright, everyone has made their decision. I won't say anything more. You can all go back now. Don't tell anyone about what we've discussed today. Go now."

The group responded, bowed to Fucha, and then turned and left. Only after they were gone did a smile appear on Fucha's face. He had always treated these people well, providing them with ample supplies. He believed they were loyal to him. As for Duan Jingxu, frankly, in Fucha's eyes, Duan Jingxu was never his match; he was merely a tool. He truly didn't take Duan Jingxu seriously, and his goal was never the sect leader. Therefore, there was never any competition between them; it was simply that Duan Jingxu considered him an enemy. Fucha needed an enemy, so he made Duan Jingxu his enemy.

He couldn't let others know his true purpose. Once they did, they might not let him have his way. He knew those people too well. Those scions of powerful families could easily ruin someone's plans, and of course, they could also easily accomplish something for someone.

He's now successfully laid his plans and is just waiting to reap the rewards. As for Duan Jingxu, well, he's probably still thinking about vying for the sect leader position. Doesn't he realize that with his status and position, can he compete with those aristocratic scions? Are his subordinates truly willing to follow him wholeheartedly in this fight for that position? If he succeeds, he can become the sect leader, but what benefits will his followers receive? Does he really think that by becoming the sect leader, he can hand over all the real power positions in the sect to his subordinates? Does he think those powerful families are just for show? Without their support, what kind of sect leader are you? So those positions of real power aren't for just anyone. Even if his subordinates helped him become sect leader, they probably wouldn't get any benefits in the end. Duan Jingxu didn't think about these things because he was a very selfish person. He only thought about himself. But his subordinates did think about those things. So probably not many of his subordinates would be genuinely willing to follow him to compete for the position of sect leader. If there were a better future for them, they might betray Duan Jingxu. But Duan Jingxu didn't understand this, so he deserved his bad luck.

For the next few days, things seemed peaceful within the sect. However, a rumor slowly spread among the sect's upper echelons: Fucha was preparing to compete for the position of deputy head of the Feudal Hall. This news spread rapidly among the upper echelons of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Many people knew about this, after all, Fucha was a core disciple who had been vying for the position of sect leader. Why would he suddenly want to be the deputy head of the Feudal Hall? It couldn't be, could it? Many people didn't believe the news.

However, the core disciples of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace then began to exert their efforts, and they were actually preparing to make this happen.

Three days later, Fu realized that the news had spread far and wide, so he arranged to meet Shen Xing. The meeting place was still the small tavern in the four houses.

Shen Xing naturally knew about this news, but he didn't quite believe it. In his opinion, Fucha was someone who had the potential to become the sect leader, so how could he possibly be interested in his position? Therefore, he didn't believe it. However, since Fucha had invited him this time, he felt embarrassed not to come, so he came directly.

When he arrived at the second floor of the tavern, he saw Fucha sitting at the table, drinking alone, looking somewhat dejected.

Shen Xing walked over and sat down right next to the table. His large body made the chair creak as if it were about to fall apart.

Fucha looked at Shen Xing and then asked, "Have you heard the rumors about me lately?"

Shen Xing nodded and said, "I've heard. I heard you're trying to take my position?"

Bang! Fucha threw a wine pot to the ground and smashed it to pieces. Then he cursed, "Bastard! Someone plotted against me. It must be Duan Jingshu. It must be him. That bastard always uses dirty tricks."

Looking at Fucha's expression, Shen Xing smiled slightly and said, "How can you be so sure that it was Shen Xing who plotted against you?"

Looking at Shen Xing, Fucha suddenly sneered, "How can you still laugh? I admire you now. Your position is in jeopardy, and you can still laugh?" Shen Xing looked at Fucha and smiled slightly, "How is my position in jeopardy? Didn't you not want to compete for my position? You don't even care about my position, do you? What do I have to worry about?" After saying that, Shen Xing even picked up a wine pot and poured himself a cup of wine.

Looking at him, Fucha suddenly revealed a mocking smile, and then he said, "Shen Xing, Elder Shen, Uncle Shen, how exactly did you become the deputy head of this vassal hall? Don't you realize that it's precisely because of my identity that your position is the most dangerous? No matter who spread this news, there will be a lot of people helping me take your place. Don't you understand yet?"

Upon hearing Fucha's words, Shen Xing was taken aback. The wine cup he was about to bring to his lips stopped moving. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he dropped the cup. His expression changed instantly. Fucha's words had reminded him that Fucha had been schemed against. But Fucha was a contender for the sect leader position, and there were several others vying for it. Fucha was their rival. If they could place Fucha in his position, Fucha would lose his chance to compete for the sect leader, which would be a huge benefit for them. Therefore, they would do everything in their power to put Fucha in his place. As for what would happen to him? They didn't care. He was merely a member of a collateral branch of the Shen family and wasn't highly regarded within the family. With so many people attacking him, the Shen family might not stand up for him. Could he even keep his position? If he lost his position, wouldn't he be finished?

Thinking of this, Shen Xing's face turned extremely pale. If he really lost his current position, he would be truly finished.

Looking at Shen Xing's appearance, Fucha couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He then said, "Uncle Shen, you should think of a solution. Otherwise, you might not be able to hold onto your position for long."

Shen Xing took a deep breath, then turned to look at Fucha and said, "Don't you have any other thoughts? Are you really willing to sit in my place?"

Fucha sighed, picked up the wine pot again, poured himself a cup of wine, then downed it in one gulp. He exhaled a breath of alcohol and said with a bitter smile, "What can I do if I'm not reconciled? I've been outmaneuvered this time. And do you know why I'm so sure it's Duan Jingshu who's targeting me? It's actually quite simple. This time, it's not just me, it's both of us. Think about it, kicking me out of the game and removing you from your position is revenge on both of us at the same time. Who has a grudge against us? Who else could it be but Duan Jingshu? I even suspect that he already knows about you selling the Tian family shares to me, so he's targeting both of us at the same time."

Bang! Shen Xing slammed his hand on the table, his face frosty. He then said, "It must have been one of your people who leaked the information, which is why he found out about this and is now targeting me. It must have been one of your people who leaked the information."

Looking at Shen Xing's expression, Fucha shook his head in disappointment and then said, "What's the use of saying all this now? Even if it was done by my people, what can you do if you know? Now is not the time to investigate these things. What we need to do is find a way to keep your position. As long as we keep your position, then I won't need to go to the Hall of Colonial Affairs, and everything will naturally go back to square one."

Shen Xing's eyes lit up, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, as long as I can keep my position, there will be no problem." After saying that, he stood up, glanced at Fucha, and then said, "This matter is between the two of us. I hope you can remember that I am not only helping myself keep my position, but also helping you."

Fucha glanced at him and said, "If you really can't keep your position, I will definitely remember your great kindness."

Shen Xing glanced at him, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. Watching him go, Fucha couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he poured himself another glass of wine, walked to the window, held the glass, and looked outside. He then raised the glass into the darkness and said, "I wish you success!" This glass of wine was not only a toast to Shen Xing, but also a toast to himself. He hoped that he could succeed this time.

Shen Xing returned to the Shen family as quickly as possible. Although he was from a branch of the Shen family and the branch he belonged to was not a very powerful one, he was still a member of the Shen family. With him in the branch, the Shen family was essentially extending its reach into the branch. Therefore, Shen Xing felt that the Shen family would not easily give up on him, or at least not easily give up his position.

After returning to the Shen family, Shen Xing immediately went to see the head of the Shen family. The Shen family was a large family, so their family estate was very large. The entire Shen family estate looked like a small city, except that this small city had no city walls.

The direct line of the Shen family lives in the central location of the Shen family estate, where there is a castle-like building. That is where the direct line of the Shen family lives, and it is called Shen Fort. Shen Fort is built on a mountain called Qingying Mountain, and the entire Qingying Mountain belongs to the Shen family.
