Wild Dogs

The next morning, when everyone woke up in fear and trepidation, they learned that Manager Qian had died.

Everyone was horrified when they saw the manipulator's and the goblin's mangled corpses.

"Alright, everyone, don't be too sad. Manager Qian died for the sect; he died a glorious death!"

Yang Fan spoke to the others.

He and Manager Qian were both sent by the miscellaneous servants' office. With Manager Qian absent, Yang Fan became the leader of the area.

Those guards didn't dare to come out at all last night, and they couldn't question anything either.

After Yang Fan finished speaking, he looked around and was quite satisfied to see that no one was going against him.

The person who wanted to harm him has already been killed by him.

He also gained control of the mine, achieving two goals with one move.

"Someone, go to the servants' quarters and report to the head of the quarters that Steward Qian has died in the line of duty for the sect, and ask the servants' quarters to provide more compensation."

Yang Fan gave the order, and immediately a guard nodded obsequiously and left.

No one dared to question Yang Fan.

What a joke! Don't they know who Manager Qian is?

This person is the kind of person who would rather die than sacrifice himself for his sect.

In this situation, Yang Fan is not only alive, but also thriving; something seems amiss.

But they couldn't explain what happened last night at all.

Upon hearing the commotion, they all huddled inside their rooms, desperate to save their lives, and dared not go out to investigate.

Now that Manager Qian and the mountain demon are both dead, Yang Fan can't say everything, whether it's good or bad.

"Alright, that's all for now. Let's get back to work."

"Manager Qian has eliminated all the mandrills this time, so everyone will be safe from now on."

Yang Fan looked at the others with a smile, and upon hearing this, the miners present all breathed a sigh of relief.

They came to this mine to make money, not to die.

Many people have died before because of the mandrill coming down from the mountain.

Now that the mandrill has been eliminated, they are relieved.

As for the guards, Yang Fan didn't change anything.

Only the manager in charge of money should know about how to deal with him; since it's none of the other people's business, he naturally wouldn't say a word.

Yang Fan was not going to touch these guards, and the guards naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a change of leadership; as long as it doesn't affect their ability to make money, it's fine.

In this way, Yang Fan successfully took control of the entire mine.

The guard responsible for delivering the message arrived at the servants' quarters around dusk.

After he reported the matter to Wang Bairen, before the hall master could speak, Wang Yu, who was standing to the side, immediately flew into a rage.

"It's ridiculous. The mandrill could have come down the mountain earlier or later, but it did come down on the very day he went."

"Grandpa, please let me take this person..."

"That's enough!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Bairen glared at Wang Yu, then nodded to the guard.

"Alright, go back and tell Yang Fan that he's temporarily in charge of the mine. I'll arrange the compensation for Manager Qian as soon as possible!"

"yes!"

The guard gave Wang Yu and Wang Bairen a strange look before quietly slipping away.

"Grandpa, why won't you let me bring him here?"

After the guard left, Wang Yu couldn't help but say something.

"Grab it? How?"

Wang Bairen sneered.

"On what grounds did you arrest him? We only instructed Manager Qian to get rid of him so as not to alert others, didn't we?"

"If this matter blows up, it will definitely come back to us."

"Besides, in the mines we manage, if one manager dies and another is arrested right afterward, people will only think that our miscellaneous services department is incompetent!"

Wang Bairen shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

"So, we're just going to leave this kid alone?"

Wang Bairen still couldn't stand it.

"Of course we should manage it, but we can't manage it like this."

Wang Bairen took a deep breath.

"That Manager Qian is a complete waste. He couldn't kill this kid with all those mountain demons, but he killed him instead."

As Wang Bairen spoke, his brows furrowed slightly.

"By the way, how exactly did this kid kill those mandrills?"

"He's a useless piece of trash with no cultivation; he has no other potential than talismans."

Wang Yu's expression also changed slightly.

"That's true, where would a menial servant in the alchemy hall get talismans?"

"Could it be that it was given to him by Master Qingyang? After all, he served as a pill apprentice for a while, so it's quite possible that he occasionally received rewards!"

Wang Yu became increasingly nervous as he thought about it.

"This person might have influence with Master Qingyang, so we must not act rashly and absolutely must not involve us."

Wang Yu was startled. If he had rashly tried to capture Yang Fan, he might have angered Master Qingyang, which would have been troublesome.

It seems that we'll have to create an accident to get rid of this person.

Wang Bairen was somewhat annoyed.

He had accepted Yang Fan's thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, so he couldn't very well send him down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, this delay led to an incident.

Looking at Wang Bairen, who was frowning and deep in thought, Wang Yu had a sudden thought.

He then bowed to his grandfather and took his leave.

After leaving the servants' quarters, a cold smile appeared on Wang Yu's lips.

"This person might be able to speak with Master Qingyan, but we can't wait any longer!"

Although Yang Fan appeared to have no cultivation level, he had a vague feeling about it.

If Yang Fan cannot be eliminated immediately, this man will definitely become a major threat to him.

Since his grandfather was hesitant, Wang Yu decided to take action himself.

.......

"Oh, you mean Hall Master Wang agreed?"

Yang Fan looked at the guard with surprise.

He didn't expect Wang Bairen to agree with his statement so easily.

"Could this old guy be up to something else?"

Yang Fan muttered to himself, but after thinking about it, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In any case, the fact that the other party has not openly targeted him means that they still have some reservations.

As long as the other party still has some reservations and doesn't dare to openly kill him, things haven't reached a dead end yet.

However, the thought of the Wang family grandfather and grandson wanting to deal with him made Yang Fan feel irritated.

"You stole the Ascension Token, fine, but why do you have to take my life?"

Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh; he was really unlucky.

First, he was targeted by that old Taoist priest and forced to go up the mountain.

Having finally entered Qingyun Temple, they were then targeted by this grandfather and grandson surnamed Wang.

They all want Yang Fan dead!

But Yang Fan just didn't want to die!

"Even if it means death, I'll make you lose a piece of my flesh!"

Yang Fan made a silent vow.

In the following days, Yang Fan became much more cautious.

Fortunately, nothing much happened at the mine, so Yang Fan focused more on dealing with the old Taoist priest.

There are only a few days left until the January deadline.

Although the Gu worms had been removed, Yang Fan was still prepared to keep his appointment on time.

This old Taoist priest knows too many secrets, and Yang Fan plans to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

Otherwise, Yang Fan would be unable to eat or sleep properly.

Fortunately, he hasn't revealed his cultivation level yet, so we can catch him off guard when the time comes.

More importantly, Xiao Hei is about to become a level one monster.

Once Xiao Hei becomes a level one demon beast, he will have an extra helper, making it more certain that he can get rid of the old Taoist.

Just as Yang Fan was pondering what method to use to deal with the old Taoist priest, a guard suddenly rushed to the door.

"Steward, something's strange at Mine No. 4. Could you please go and take a look? What should we do next?"
