Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 66 Sima's Rebellion (Please Subscribe)

Chen Xuan looked at Sima Cheng, who was smiling in front of him, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

"almost."

"I've just married a concubine who's quite interested in controlling insects. I heard you have an Iron-backed Mantis. Would you mind giving it up?"

Chen Xuan's expression turned cold.

These strange insects bear the imprint of his spiritual consciousness and are cultivated by him with great effort.

In a sense, like his child.

He never regarded these strange insects as cannon fodder, but as partners with whom he grew up.

Therefore, when he encounters an opponent, he will discuss with the psychic green snake instead of simply giving orders.

After condensing the insect spirit essence, he will distribute it to the strange insects immediately.

Ever since he came into possession of the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron, he had never thought of using the strange insects to make a profit.

Raise the strange insects from childhood and sell them for spirit stones after they mature.

He had never thought about such a thing.

Everything is animistic.

The strange insects he cultivated bore the imprint of his spiritual consciousness, as if they were originally a part of his soul.

Since he has chosen the path of an insect tamer, he will be true to his heart and explore the way of heaven with the strange insects.

Share the joys and sorrows, life and death together.

Rather than using it as a gift to flatter your boss.

When Sima Cheng saw that Chen Xuan did not respond immediately, his expression became a little cold.

"I won't take your rare insect for nothing. A first-grade, mid-grade rare insect has a market price of fifty spirit stones. I'll give you sixty!"

This kid is still not smart enough.

I just asked him for a rare insect, but he was reluctant to do so.

It seems that more knocking is needed.

Chen Xuan shook his head coldly.

"Sorry, I don't sell my exotic insects."

"Why? It shouldn't be difficult for you to breed another one."

Sima Cheng forced a smile and said, "Alright, eighty spirit stones, this price is far above the market price."

"Not for sale."

Chen Xuan's answers became shorter and shorter, and his tone was very firm.

This made Sima Cheng's unhappiness increase exponentially.

"It's just a mid-grade rare insect, but you treat it like a treasure."

The smile on Sima Cheng's face disappeared.

This Chen Xuan is really ungrateful.

As a subordinate, if his boss has preferences, he should, in theory, take the initiative to offer them to him.

Not to mention a mere strange insect, many people, even their newly married wives, would be willing to sacrifice it.

He kept backing off and even offered a high price.

He is still so ignorant and shameless.

Sima Cheng said calmly, "I have a cousin named Sima Yan, who disappeared in the Shadow Forest ten months ago. At that time, besides Xu Jiali from the Xu family, it seems you also went out of the market."

Chen Xuan's heart was filled with alarm.

"I'm giving you a chance because I see you're talented. I've seen a lot of people like you. You think you have some abilities and want to make a name for yourself."

"This world is far more complicated than you imagine. Without any roots or background, do you really think the Xu family can protect you forever?"

Chen Xuan sighed secretly, staring into Sima Cheng's eyes expressionlessly, and asked calmly: "I'm sorry, I don't know Sima Yan. I won't sell my strange insects."

Chen Xuan just wants to concentrate on his practice and live a peaceful life.

He doesn't want to cause trouble.

But this doesn't mean he is afraid of things.

Especially Sima Cheng's behavior of deliberately finding fault.

If he took a step back today, he would give away the Ironback Mantis at a low price or even for free.

From then on, you will become Sima Cheng's complete slave, doing whatever he asks for and obeying his orders.

Chen Xuan couldn't accept it.

The Sima family in Luoyang Ridge has two great foundation-building cultivators, and they are also local tyrants in the vicinity.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Chen Xuan really didn't want to offend the Sima family.

But he had to go against his conscience, flatter him, and give away the strange insect that he regarded as a partner, and then become a slave himself.

Sorry, can't do that!

"It's alright, I'll withdraw first, Master Sima Cheng."

Chen Xuan turned and walked away with firm steps.

There was no sign of retreat or fear at all. Sima Cheng looked at Chen Xuan's receding figure, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

A mere low-level cultivator who doesn't respect his status and openly defies his wishes cannot be kept.

It's time to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

……

Chen Xuan was filled with anger and stormed out of the West City Law Enforcement Hall.

What is this!

Sima Cheng has been in the sect for so long that his brain has become rusty.

He is just a steward of the outer city of the market town. Do you really think you are the overlord of a region?

After returning home, Chen Xuan sorted out the matter and felt more and more that he could not stay in the West City Law Enforcement Hall.

No matter where you are, you can always meet idiots like Sima Cheng, who think they are very smart, and their minds are always thinking about taking advantage of others. They never put themselves in other people's shoes.

Very similar to some bureaucrats in the previous life.

Forget it, it’s just a part-time job, the sooner I quit, the less trouble I’ll have.

As for offending Sima Cheng, Chen Xuan did not have any psychological burden.

Even if the two foundation-building masters, the ancestor of the Si family and the head of the Sima family, came, Chen Xuan was not afraid.

He abides by the law and does things according to the rules, yet they dare to defy the world and openly attack him in the market?

Apart from these two, Chen Xuan is confident that he can escape unscathed if facing anyone from the Sima family.

However, be careful.

Chen Xuan still wrote a letter and asked someone to give it to Tan Lun, asking him to try to resolve the situation.

Alas, independent cultivators are still at a disadvantage.

……

Things are changing much faster than expected.

Just two days later, when Chen Xuan finished writing his resignation and entered the West City Law Enforcement Hall again, he found that the atmosphere was not right.

Wang Fugui had been waiting for a long time and saw him jogging towards him.

"Captain Chen, why are you here so late? They've been in there for half an hour!"

"It's usually this time, I'm not late!"

"Stop talking and come in! I'll get you some clothes!"

"no need!"

Chen Xuan didn't plan to change his clothes.

He made up his mind to resign today.

When I entered the office, I saw that everyone was in a meeting inside. They were all dressed neatly and listening attentively to Sima Cheng's training speech.

"Chen Xuan, do you still want to do this? You're late for training on the first day!"

Sima Cheng said angrily.

"I didn't receive any notice of early training."

Chen Xuan's expression was calm as he stood at the door and spoke coldly.

"Everyone else arrived on time, but you're the only one who didn't come, and you're still making excuses?" Sima Cheng said with a gloomy face, "Get over here!"

Chen Xuan stood there motionless, quietly, staring at Sima Cheng.

"Didn't you hear me? Get over here!"

"I'm sorry, Master Sima Cheng, I don't know how to roll. How about you show me how to do it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions.

Chen Xuan's words clearly showed that he was openly tearing his relations apart.

We belong to the same sect and believe in fighting without breaking each other. We each have our bottom line and it is best to stop when the time is right.

If your boss scolds you, just bear with it.

It is a big taboo to refute and argue back, especially in front of so many people, publicly.

Sure enough, Sima Cheng felt humiliated and became furious.

"You're such a jerk, Chen Xuan! You know, right after I took office, someone reported you for corruption and openly extorting money and accepting bribes. I can tolerate you, but the sect's rules cannot!"

Chen Xuan chuckled.

"Excuse me, sir. Is this a real-name report or an anonymous one? If it's a real-name report, please confront him on the spot. If it's an anonymous report, the sect's rules have long stipulated that anonymous reports will not be accepted."

"What audacity! Not only does he refuse to repent, he's even trying to find out the identity of the informant, intent on revenge! Right, arrest this guy!"

Sima Cheng shouted angrily, murderous intent in his eyes.

Anyone who is unwilling to serve him is his enemy.

In this case, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Being able to be the chicken to scare the monkeys is a kind of waste utilization and has some value.
