Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 155 Surprise, The Crouching Tiger Well Manager
While everyone was still reeling from disbelief, Chen Shunan pressed on,
"That's just a slap, what about the caning? Continue."

"presumptuous!!"

Suddenly, a voice, feigning calm but overflowing with rage like lava, came from the top floor.

Zhao Guanghui stepped down, his face ashen, his gaze icy as he looked at Chen Shunan, then spoke to Sun Jun.

"Disgraceful and disgraceful! You still have the nerve to stay here? Get back!"

"Yes……"

Sun Jun looked pale, knowing that his reputation with his employer had plummeted, but he dared not utter a word and was about to leave with his head down.

Upon seeing Zhao Guanghui, Lin Shouzhou, Sun Xiao, and the others all changed their expressions drastically and became completely flustered.

What is Zhao Guanghui doing here today?

Oh no, this is never going to end!

Old Chen, relying solely on his position as manager, simply couldn't sustain the business!
Upon seeing Zhao Guanghui, Chen Shunan paused for a moment, then respectfully cupped his hands and said...

“I was unaware that Lord Zhao was here, and my impetuousness has disturbed your enjoyment. However…”

"Just what?"

Zhao Guanghui held onto the railing, his face expressionless.

"Do I need to explain my actions to you? Are you going to charge me with harboring a criminal? Chen Shunan, Lin Shouzhou, you're all doing well, I've taken note of this..."

"Of course it's good, and they should be punished!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted.

A somewhat familiar figure sprang into action like a nimble cat, stirring up waves of energy behind him with fierce momentum as it pounced towards Zhao Guanghui.

Zhao Guangxi?
Why is he here? !
Zhao Guanghui's face twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to fight back, but then a sharp pain shot through his brow.

In the darkness, a warning signal came from my mind, and an indescribable sense of crisis lingered in my heart.

It seemed that some extremely sharp and terrifying killing intent had quietly enveloped him, waiting for a moment's hesitation to launch a fierce attack and kill him on the spot.

You mustn't use your hands! You mustn't resist!
If I move, will I die?

Zhao Guanghui found it hard to believe.

He then noticed that Zhao Guangxi also had a short sword hanging at his waist, its blade resembling a piece of azure jade.

That's... the Peaceful Well-Viewing Sword??
How can it be? !
"Clap!"

In the deathly silent Yuxinglou, another crisp slapping sound rang out.

Looking at Zhao Guanghui, who stood silently with a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Zhao Guangxi felt a pang of regret.

If Zhao Guanghui is thoroughly enraged today and retaliates, Zhao Guangxi will be able to seize the opportunity to raise the banner and activate the [Chengping Guanjing Sword].

Even if we don't kill him outright, we can at least sever one of his arms and cripple his cultivation.

Pity.

"Can a crime be imposed?"

Zhao Guangxi slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off his hands.

Zhao Guanghui lowered his head and said, "It can be cured. Since it's Zhao Lulu in person, it can definitely be cured."

Zhao Guanghui indeed backed down and admitted defeat.

The others remained rooted to the spot.

Chen Shunan was the first to react, and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Congratulations to the boss on your promotion to the position of head of the well in Wuqing! May your well be deep and your business flourish in all directions!"

Chen Shunan resolved today's incident without bloodshed by relying on Zhao Guangxi, feeling a sense of peace and security.

By seizing the opportunity to humiliate Zhao Guanghui, he not only fulfilled a long-cherished wish but also successfully set the stage for his first major achievement after taking office.

Zhao Guangxi also felt completely comfortable, with his blood and qi flowing upwards.

Looking at Chen Shun'an now, he found him more and more pleasing to the eye. Feeling lightheaded, he spoke as if possessed.

“Old Chen, you haven’t let us down! Let’s stop bashing Shajing and just let you be the manager of Wohujing…”

As soon as he said it, Zhao Guangxi regretted it.

There are vacancies for the managers of one freshwater well and three muddy water wells; the positions were filled two months ago.

The new manager of Wohujing is so eager to get back to work that he's already warmed up his chair.

How can there be such a thing as changing policies overnight, suddenly promoting Chen Shun'an and pushing others down?
This involves many interests and numerous personnel changes.

Wohujing?
A freshwater well in Wulunshui, a local specialty?

Good thing!
Upon hearing this, Chen Shunan's eyes lit up.

He was no ordinary man; quick-witted and agile, he had already clasped his hands and bowed, saying...

"Thank you for your guidance, sir! I, Chen, will certainly work diligently and conscientiously to fulfill my duties as the manager of Wohujing!"

The sound was so loud it seemed to lift the roof off, causing even passersby on the street to stop and stare.

Aside from Zhao Guanghui, everyone present turned their attention to him.

Zhao Guangxi had no choice but to reluctantly agree, having been put in such a difficult position.
"...Do a good job!"

Meanwhile, Sun Jun's expression was stiff, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Zhao Guanghui turned his head and looked at him, his face even more frighteningly dark, and his eyes revealed murderous intent!
"My life is over!" Sun Jun thought with sorrow.

Then, he glared fiercely at Kong Chengping and the others behind him.

Kong Chengping and the others trembled with fear, their hearts pounding, and they almost fainted on the spot.

"We're fucked!"

……

Follow Zhao Guangxi downstairs.

Chen Shunan lagged behind by half a step, and the people along the way gave way.

Chen Shunan glanced at Jiu Chanhui, who was still standing there like a clay sculpture, and suddenly spoke.

“Master Chanhui, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Lulutou.”

Upon hearing this, Jiu Chanhui's expression became complicated.

I don't need your introduction!
I'm not deaf!

"Having met Zhao Lulu, may I ask how Master Guo is doing now?"

Jiu Chanhui was an extremely perceptive person. He vaguely sensed something was wrong and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Zhao Guangxi sighed and said, "Brother Guo had an accident a few days ago and died tragically in his residence."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Chanhui felt as if he had been hit on the back of the head with a stick, and his whole body became dizzy and disoriented.

Guo Dongjia is dead?

Jiu Chanhui subconsciously didn't want to believe it, but then she looked at the "Chengping Guanjing Sword" at Zhao Guangxi's waist, which proved that Zhao Guangxi was not lying.

But why didn't I receive the message?
Wait a minute! Could it be that Zhuang Jun, Kong Ling, and Bao Wenbin are keeping this from me?
The compassion on Jiu Chanhui's face vanished, replaced by a look of unpredictable mood.

If Guo Dongjia died and those three were not buried with him, that would be one thing. But if they were alive, several days have passed, and they would probably have already taken control of the Guo family and divided up the spoils.

They kicked him out early!
"These people from the Central Plains are truly filthy and rotten! They have no sense of rules, we'll beat them to death sooner or later!"

Jiu Chanhui cursed inwardly.

Then, Zhao Guangxi, with a deep gaze, said softly...

"I wonder what Master Chanhui's plans are for the future? A wise man submits to circumstances; why not submit to me, Zhao?"

Why does this sound so familiar?

As soon as he looked up, he was met with Chen Shunan's face, which had a half-smile on it.

Jiu Chanhui paused for a moment, then said bitterly,
"I am deeply grateful for Zhao's kindness, and I have no reason to refuse."

Having said that, Jiu Chanhui completely resigned himself to his fate, bowed his head, lowered his brows, and clasped his hands together.

"I'll let Zhao Tou do whatever he wants!"

Seeing this, Chen Shunan felt secretly pleased.

So, being a villain who bullies others isn't so bad after all?
It would be even more satisfying than if Chen Shunan had actually taken matters into his own hands and gotten revenge!

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Zhao Guangxi roared and laughed, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

Now he is rising rapidly in rank, and his subordinates are full of talented people. What is there to worry about in achieving great things?

Just ...

Zhao Guangxi stroked his chin and glanced at Chen Shunan.

That old man is too shrewd; today's events were probably all within his expectations.

He simply promoted him casually and gave him the position of manager.

Chen Shunan was able to keenly sense the special meaning behind it and chose to take a risky move by launching an attack.

What was once an ordinary brawl between three men has escalated into a factional struggle between a newly promoted leader and a stubborn old boss!
To live to be old and not die is to be a demon!

Zhao Guangxi said in a deep voice, "Old Chen, this whole situation today, you didn't deliberately set it up, did you? Or am I, Zhao, even part of your scheme?"

Chen Shunan immediately became anxious and said,

"My lord has misunderstood me greatly! My loyalty to you is as clear as day and night. I am no omniscient or omnipotent deity, how could I know that you have already seized the position of head of the well..."

Come to think of it.

Zhao Guangxi nodded.

Well, everyone has their own way of doing things, from killing a pig to killing its rear end.

Old Chen has done a great service and made himself look good; that's enough.

As for the owner of Wohujing...

I'm the boss. I decide how to promote my subordinates and assign positions!
The new manager, who's barely warmed his seat, is in for a tough time...

Zhao Guangxi took a small piece of gold from his satchel and tossed it to the owner of Yuxinglou, who was hiding behind the counter with a bitter expression, saying,

“I, Zhao, will cover all the losses today.”

Upon receiving the gold, the owner of Yuxinglou Restaurant's bitter expression vanished, replaced by joy.
"Thank you..."

The owner of Yuxinglou took a bite of the gold to check the taste before continuing.
"Thank you, sir!"

……

Zhao Guangxi left gracefully.

Not long after he left, the group of guards who had come to protect him arrived without stopping.

Upon learning that Zhao Guangxi had returned to the county, these people immediately turned their cars around and hurriedly chased after him.

The main purpose is to create a grand and impressive spectacle.

Standing on the street.

Lin Shouzhou, with a pipe dangling from his mouth, took a deep drag and stared intently at Chen Shunan, saying...

"Old Chen, give me a hint, are you serious already?"

Not everyone can withstand the aura emanating from several true masters and remain unaffected.

To put it bluntly, the difference between the two is like that between ants and the blue sky. It is extremely difficult for a second-rate martial artist to outwit and outmaneuver a true master.

A single glare from someone, a fierce look in their eyes, is enough to scare them so much they wet themselves.

The conspiracy ended before it even began.

Chen Shunan, however, got himself involved, which actually led to Zhao Guangxi and Zhao Guangxi being drawn into the fray.

Especially Zhao Guangxi...

That aura... it must be enough to kill four thieves!

The boss was hiding something so well!

Chen Shunan watched his employer leave before picking up the copper kettle from the tea shop on the street and taking two sips to quench his thirst.

He nodded and said, "To be honest, I have already killed four thieves, and I will soon be able to kill the tongue thief and enter the fifth realm."

"Ha ha……"

Lin Shouzhou gave a mocking smile, a pipe dangling from his mouth, and glanced sideways at Chen Shunan.

Keep making things up.

Why don't you say you're about to become a martial arts master?

Seeing Lin Shouzhou's expression, Chen Shunan sighed and shook his head.

To be honest, why don't you believe me?
"Manager Chen, thank you very much for today."

"Mr. Chen, if you ever need anything in the future, I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Sun Xiao and the others then slowly walked up to Chen Shunan.

Their expressions were complex, and their gazes varied.

Shajijing is truly a place blessed with outstanding people and resources. First, it produced the master of true meaning, Lin Shouzhou.

Now, there's also a manager at Wohujing.

Chen Shunan waved his hand and said,
"Brothers, you're too kind! Today we're going to a pleasure boat for drinks, and we'll order the most expensive courtesans. It's on me!"

Sun Xiao and the others immediately wore genuine smiles.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Manager Chen!"
