Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 176 Lingzhu was robbed (Please subscribe)

Logically speaking, he is just a deacon, and it is not his place to make decisions about the captain's position.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Tao family couldn't help but smile.

Chen Xuan has said so in front of so many people here. If he fails to do it, he will lose all face.

It will be difficult to gain people's trust in the future.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Tao smiled and said, "Then I will thank Master Chen for his support on behalf of Shi Peng!"

"I just don't know where Lord Ling is?"

"Those who need to leave must leave, Patriarch Tao, isn't that the truth?"

"Yes! I was confused!"

Patriarch Tao filled his glass with wine and raised it high: "This old man offers a toast to Master Chen. I wish you a bright future and a promising future!"

"No problem! Let's drink together!"

Chen Xuan raised his glass slightly, and everyone present raised their glasses to celebrate.

After the banquet, the head of the Fan family brought up the matter of purchasing 10,000 spiritual bamboos, and the price was reduced to 35,000 spiritual stones.

"We're all family, and we'll help each other in the future. Is it really necessary for Patriarch Fan to personally make a trip for such a small matter?"

Patriarch Tao said with a smile.

As the sun sets in the west, with the farewell of Patriarch Tao and others, the figures of Chen Xuan and Patriarch Fan disappear into the sky.

After the two figures were completely out of sight, the head of the Tao family looked at the clansmen beside him.

"This Chen Xuan, he's not bragging!"

An elder asked doubtfully.

"No!"

The head of the Tao family waved his hand, signaling not to say more.

Since we are in the game of thrones, we must follow the most basic rules of the game.

When it comes to judging people, the head of the Tao family is still confident.

……

At the West City Law Enforcement Hall meeting a few days later, Chen Xuan naturally proposed that the two law enforcement team leaders who were about to return to the sect to report on their work should take leave, and that the two deputy team leaders who were to be promoted should temporarily lead the team.

Ling Baoshi discussed with the three deacons for a while and quickly appointed two deputy team members to be in charge temporarily.

One of them was Tao Shipeng.

Soon after the meeting, the news spread.

That night, Tao Shipeng came to Chen Xuan's residence.

Chen Xuan glanced at the brocade box he brought, which contained thirty mid-grade spirit stones.

"Did you go to Lord Ling's place?"

"Master Chen, I have already been there."

"That's good. As a person, you must distinguish between the primary and the secondary. Don't make any mistakes!"

Chen Xuan said this with a hint of meaning.

"I understand."

"As long as you know."

Tao Shipeng's promotion must have been Ling Baoshi's intention.

But, what played a crucial role was that he scored clearly.

Chen Xuan asked again: "Have you eaten?"

Tao Shipeng's eyes lit up and he said, "Not yet."

"It's so late, just grab something to eat at my place."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Being able to have a simple meal at Chen Xuan's house shows that the two of them have a tacit understanding in their hearts.

In the West City Law Enforcement Hall, we are all in the same boat.

Chen Xuan did not intend to cultivate confidants.

Ling Baoshi will leave the West City Law Enforcement Hall sooner or later.

Even if he didn't take over, he would have stayed for six or seven years.

If you have a confidant among the middle-level leaders of the Law Enforcement Hall, many things will be much easier to get done.

……

In the following period, Chen Xuan spent most of his time in Feiyun Ridge, constantly directing and correcting the construction work of Feiyun Ridge.

After instructing Wang Fugui to purchase some more floating spiritual plant seeds, he threw them into the swamp. Not long after, they began to grow successfully.

The construction of the Lingzhu Forest in the middle section of Feiyunling is also progressing in an orderly manner.

This task was a bit laborious. The spiritual bamboo had to be transported from the Tao family, replanted according to the plan, and then stabilized with the spiritual rain technique, which took quite a bit of effort.

Fortunately, the Su family was very motivated and with the help of the Fan family, the project progressed smoothly.

At the current rate, all the 10,000 bamboo trees will be transplanted in another month.

Seeing that the spiritual bamboo was growing well after transplantation and had a survival rate of 99%, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Just as he was planning the last project of the exotic insect breeding base, bad news suddenly came.

"The Lingzhu was robbed?"

"The Su and Fan family members who were escorting the spiritual bamboo were all detained?" Chen Xuan couldn't believe what Wang Fugui said.

"Is the news true?"

"It's true. The Fan family will make a formal announcement shortly."

Chen Xuan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"What's wrong with the Fan family? They can't even handle such a small matter?"

Wang Fugui said carefully: "For the Fan family, this is not a trivial matter. The one who made the move was a gust of wind from the Black Wind Village, and it is said that he is a foundation-building cultivator."

Chen Xuan then remembered that the head of the Fan family had once told him that the Sun family of the nearby Jinlong Mountain had colluded with the robbers to target the Fan family and had robbed the Fan family's goods many times in the past.

"Go call Tao Shipeng!"

After Wang Fugui left, Chen Xuan thought calmly.

Recently, I have been a little arrogant relying on my identity as a deacon of the Jinyang Sect.

The auction of Feiyun Ridge, the mortgage in exchange for spirit stones, the cooperation with the Fan family, the purchase of spirit bamboo, etc., were all accomplished thanks to the reputation of the Jinyang Sect.

His performance in the Haotian Secret Realm and the Wanshouling wedding banquet was ultimately only circulated in a small circle, and many people did not know his true strength.

"Human nature is the same. There's no need to reason with people when they can solve problems with their fists!"

Chen Xuan thought so in his heart.

"Master Chen, what do you want to call me for?"

"How many of your reserve personnel are safe?"

"ten people."

"Call everyone here and follow me for a walk."

"Yes!"

Tao Shipeng didn't ask any more questions.

According to the regulations of the Law Enforcement Hall, the 100-man team is divided into three shifts for patrol and law enforcement, with ten people left in reserve for maneuver.

Chen Xuan, accompanied by Tao Shipeng and more than ten others, dressed in black robes, marched out of the west city gate in a mighty procession.

Tao Shipeng summoned the sect's patrol flying boat.

"Master Chen, where are you going?"

"The Fan family of Baiyun Mountain."

The sect's patrol flying boat sailed all the way to the door of the Fan family.

The head of the Fan family went out to greet them.

"Does Patriarch Fan know about the Lingzhu being robbed?"

"I understand. I was just about to discuss this with Master Chen."

The head of the Fan family looked worried.

"It's a gust of wind from Black Wind Village, a foundation-building cultivator. He sent someone to bring a message, asking me to bring 20,000 spirit stones and go in person to redeem him."

Chen Xuan asked coldly, "Did you bring the spirit stones?"

Patriarch Fan said softly, "I brought it!"

"Then let's go together!"

Chen Xuan thought that this kind of robbery and ransom would never end once it started.

There is never room for compromise in matters like this.

Patriarch Fan boarded the sect's patrol flying boat and sat next to Chen Xuan.

"Master Chen, this is strange. Although Yiquanfeng is a robbery cultivator, he rarely robs people. I think there is another intention behind this."

Chen Xuan glanced at Patriarch Fan coldly.

The head of the Fan family noticed the coldness in Chen Xuan's eyes and stopped talking.

In fact, he was not specifically referring to the Sun family of Jinlong Mountain.

But this Jie Xiu really has an unclear relationship with the Sun family of Jinlong Mountain.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to become so powerful here.

"Master Chen, you are aware of the situation of the Fan family. It's not that I am incompetent, but the lives of over a thousand cultivators of the Fan family depend on me. I cannot take any risks."

Speaking of this, Master Fan felt quite aggrieved.

"My Fan family has always been law-abiding and loyal to the sect. We pay taxes on time and never default on payments. If it weren't for our ancestor's advanced age, how could we allow this clown to do evil here?"

"Alright, Patriarch Fan, there's no need to say any more. No matter what this robbery cultivator's intentions are, he robbed Feiyunling's goods and held our people hostage. He deserves death!"

Chen Xuan knew it very well.

The ancestor of the Fan family is nearing the end of his life, so it is not appropriate to take action.

The head of the Fan family cannot fail, otherwise there will be no one to succeed the Fan family and the family will be in danger.

Therefore, the Fan family had no way to deal with the robbers from the Black Wind Village.

Realm is not the whole of a cultivator's strength.

Generally speaking, among cultivators of the same level, their strength is ranked according to large sects, small and medium-sized sects, cultivation families, and individual cultivators.

If there are special skills and magic weapons, that is another matter.

When it comes to Master Fan facing a gust of wind, it’s not a question of whether he can defeat him or not, but whether he is willing to take the risk.
