Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16314 Test
Upon hearing Li Youfu's words, Zhan Jia frowned and looked at him with some suspicion, saying, "Old Li, isn't what you're saying a bit exaggerated? Can the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect really do that? Doesn't that prove that something's really going on?"

Li Youfu immediately said anxiously, "Lord Zhan, how could I dare to lie to you? You know me, Old Li. I make a living this way. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me. My intuition is absolutely correct."

Upon hearing Li Youfu's words, Zhan Jia's expression turned serious. He knew Li Youfu quite well; Li Youfu was right. He did indeed make a living this way. Everyone knew that Li Youfu had a natural instinct for danger, which was why Zhan Jia entrusted this task to him.

The armored warrior looked at Li Youfu and then said, "Old Li, you're not the only one who took on this mission this time. If no one else notices the problem and you're the only one who feels there's something wrong, what do you say?"

Li Youfu hurriedly said, "Lord Zhan, I really didn't lie to you. I, Old Li, have been making a living here at the Ironclad Sect. To be honest, I've always dreamed of joining a sect, but I never even considered joining the Ironclad Sect before. I know that my status is simply not worthy of joining the Ironclad Sect. But I've been making a living here at the Ironclad Sect, and I have feelings for it. This time, the Ironclad Sect has given us this opportunity to join a sect, how could I not seize it? If I hadn't really discovered the problem, I wouldn't have come back at all. If I had stayed there and found out some information, wouldn't it have been easier for me to join the sect than to come back now and tell you all this? Lord Zhan, I'm really thinking of the Ironclad Sect."

Looking at Li Youfu, Zhan Jia said, "Okay, I understand. Here's what we'll do: you go back first. I'll report this matter, but how the higher-ups decide is beyond my control."

Li Youfu responded, then spoke again, "Lord Zhan, everything I, Old Li, have said is true. You must believe me." After saying this, he stood up, bowed to the armor, and then turned and left.

Zhan Jia watched Li Youfu leave. He sat in the room for a while, then stood up and left, returning to the Ironclad Sect. Few people knew that Zhan Jia actually had another identity: he was a disciple of Lin Youwei, the deputy head of the External Affairs Hall of the Ironclad Sect. Therefore, Zhan Jia could meet with the higher-ups of the Ironclad Sect. The deputy head of the External Affairs Hall was a high-ranking member of the sect.

The armored warriors quickly arrived at the Ironclad Sect's External Affairs Hall, a large courtyard with a main building that was nine stories high, as well as several other smaller buildings. The entire External Affairs Hall of the Ironclad Sect was quite crowded.

How could Zhan Jia, a disciple of the deputy head of the External Affairs Hall, end up managing rogue cultivators? It's actually quite simple. He was there to gain experience. Managing rogue cultivators was one of the External Affairs Hall's tasks. They sent Zhan Jia to manage rogue cultivators for a couple of days, and then transferred him back to the External Affairs Hall. That way, no one would say he lacked experience.

The armored vehicle quickly arrived at the main building of the Foreign Affairs Hall. After arriving at the main building, they went directly to the ninth floor. There were only four rooms on the ninth floor. The largest room was the conference room, which was used by the people of the Foreign Affairs Hall for meetings. The other three rooms were the offices of the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall and the two deputy heads.

The armored warrior walked to an office and gently knocked on the door. A moment later, a voice said, "Come in." The armored warrior pushed the door open and went inside.

The room was large. Upon entering, one could see a small reception area with several chairs and a small table in the middle. This area was divided by a display shelf, with a small door leading to an ordinary office. There were three chairs and a desk. In front of the desk were two chairs, and behind the desk was a lean monk who looked to be in his fifties. He was holding a pen and writing something.

The armored warrior walked inside and soon reached the door to the antique shelf. At this moment, the cultivator inside also raised his head. He was taken aback when he saw the armored warrior, and then he immediately said, "Little Armor, come in quickly." The armored warrior responded and went in. He then bowed to the man and said, "Greetings, Master." This cultivator was none other than Lin Youwei.

Lin Youwei looked at the armor and said, "Little Armor, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

The armored warrior immediately replied, "Yes, Master. There's something we need to do. The sect issued a mission to send out rogue cultivators to the Myriad Beasts Sect to gather information. The mission was just sent out, and a rogue cultivator has already sent back a message."

Lin Youwei was taken aback, then frowned and said, "So fast? This mission was only issued today, right? How come we already have news? What could he possibly have figured out?"

The armored warrior spoke up: "Master, this person's situation is a bit special. His name is Li Youwei. He is a relatively famous rogue cultivator. This rogue cultivator is not very strong, but his perception of danger is extremely strong. This is very well known among rogue cultivators. Many rogue cultivators are willing to team up with him when doing missions because teaming up with him is the safest."

Upon hearing Zhan Jia's explanation, Lin Youwei believed it. He did believe that some people were born with abilities that others lacked, so he nodded and asked, "So this is the message that was sent back by this person? What did he discover?"

The armored warrior replied, "Yes, Master. This is the message he brought back. He went to the main hall of the Myriad Beasts Sect, to the area where the rogue cultivators lived. He discovered that everyone there was watching him—every single one of the rogue cultivators. They weren't openly staring at him, but constantly keeping an eye on him. He returned immediately after realizing this." Lin Youwei was taken aback, then his expression changed. "He said all the rogue cultivators at the Myriad Beasts Sect's main hall were watching him?"

The armored warrior nodded and said, "Yes, that's what he said."

Lin Youwei suddenly stood up, startling his armored warrior into standing up as well. He then said in a deep voice, "If all the rogue cultivators are really watching him, there are only two possibilities: either he is lying, or something has really happened at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

The armored warrior looked at Lin Youwei with some confusion and asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Youwei looked at him and said, "Don't you understand? If all the rogue cultivators in the Myriad Beasts Sect are watching him, either he's lying, or the people in the Myriad Beasts Sect and all the rogue cultivators have been captured by a certain force. In order to prevent the affairs of the Myriad Beasts Sect from being leaked, that force not only captured the people of the Myriad Beasts Sect, but also those rogue cultivators, and then gave those rogue cultivators something to identify each other. Otherwise, how many rogue cultivators would there be in the living area of ​​a sect? It's impossible for them all to know each other. But now those rogue cultivators all know each other. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"

Zhan Jia was taken aback, then his expression changed, and he immediately said, "That's right. So it seems that something really happened at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?"

Lin Youwei said in a deep voice, "It's not certain yet. Go back immediately and arrange for a few people to go to the area where the rogue cultivators live and keep an eye on that rogue cultivator. Remember, have those people act with some hostility. Then call that person to your office. Once he's in your office, ask him if he can answer if there are a few people who are hostile towards him. If he can answer, it means what he said might be true. If he can't answer, it means what he said is false. If it's false, that's fine. But if it's true, then this matter is serious, and we must report it immediately."

The armored warrior quickly responded, then bowed to Lin Youwei before turning and leaving. After the warrior left, Lin Youwei stood in the room, his expression shifting uncertainly. If everything that rogue cultivator said was true, then the Divine Kingdom was truly about to undergo a dramatic change.

Li Youfu returned to his room, still thinking about meeting Zhan Jia. This was all he could do for now. He had reported everything he could, and whether Zhan Jia believed him or not was up to them.

Li Youfu let out a long breath, then went back to bed and lay down immediately. To be honest, he still felt extremely scared about what had happened. He almost didn't make it back from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. How could he not be exhausted? Now that he relaxed, he immediately fell asleep.

Li Youfu was awakened by a knock on the door after sleeping for an unknown amount of time. He immediately sat up and looked at the door warily, asking, "Who is it?"

"Li Youfu lives here, right? Senior Brother Zhan wants you to go see him." A somewhat arrogant voice came from outside the door.

Li Youfu was taken aback, then immediately jumped up and said, "Coming, coming, coming right away." After saying that, Li Youfu walked to the door, opened it, and saw a disciple of the Ironclad Sect standing outside. This disciple stared at Li Youfu with an arrogant expression and said, "You are Li Youfu?"

Li Youfu sensed the hostility emanating from this Ironclad Sect disciple, but he did not show it. He quickly replied, "It is indeed I."

The disciple nodded and said, "Come with me, Senior Brother Zhan Jia wants to see you."

Li Youfu quickly responded and then followed the disciple toward the management office. The disciple walked in front, and Li Youfu followed behind. Along the way, Li Youfu felt several hostile gazes directed at him, but when he looked over, he couldn't find anyone. This puzzled Li Youfu greatly. Nevertheless, he carefully arrived at the management office and followed the disciple to the outside of the armor's office.

When the disciple reached the outside of Zhan Jia's office, he said to Li Youfu, "Go in by yourself." After saying that, he turned and left. Li Youfu did not dare to delay, so he bowed to the man's back before knocking on the door. After hearing a voice say, "Come in," he pushed the door open and went inside.
