Chapter 721: Grabbing an errand
Licheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wanbao Pavilion.
Qian'er looked at the land deed in her hand and finally smiled. After many twists and turns, this piece of land finally fell into the hands of the Zhong family.
Qian'er guessed correctly. The staff on duty at the Beast Taming Sect were sent away by Gu Qingfeng and returned after seven days.
As soon as she came back, Zhou Ru took Wang Lisheng to go through the formalities. The handling fee was very expensive, 20% of the handling fee, which was equivalent to 10 billion high-quality crystal beads.
But for this piece of land, the Zhong family doesn't care about this little bit of money.
Wang Lisheng saw Qian'er smiling and took the opportunity to say, "Master, can I go to Yancheng?"
Hearing this, Qian'er put away her smile and said without question: "No, you must stay in Licheng and take control of the Loose Cultivator Alliance again!"
Qian'er looked at Zhou Ru and asked, "Where are the two elders from the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Zhou Ru replied, "They are being held in the Wanbao Pavilion's cell. Shaqi is guarding them. Does the master want to interrogate them?"
"Why am I interrogating them?" Qian'er looked at Wang Lisheng who was bowing his head and ordered, "Since you are now a member of the Zhong family, I will give you a task. If you do it well, the Zhong family can provide you with Void-Breaking Pills, cultivation resources, skills, spells, spiritual treasures and even magic weapons! If you don't do it well, then you can just wait to die of old age in Licheng."
The implication is, "Wang Lisheng, you have to prove your worth. The Zhong family doesn't keep useless people."
Wang Lisheng said quickly: "Please give me your orders, Master. I will do my best."
Qian'er nodded slightly and said, "Within a year, we must reorganize the Loose Cultivator Alliance. We can't be as lax as we are now. I will set up all the rules for you!
I will keep the two people in the cell for you. You can kill them or use them as you wish. I will only see the results after one year. Do you understand?"
Wang Lisheng quickly knelt down and said, "I understand, and I will definitely not let the Patriarch down!"
After giving these instructions and having everyone leave, Qian'er called Qing'er over and said, "Qing'er, go buy building materials now. Everything must be the best.
The sooner we start construction on this land, the better. I hope to complete it within three years!"
Qing'er was surprised and asked, "Sister, for such a large piece of land, wouldn't three years be too hasty?"
Qian'er didn't explain, but said calmly: "Just do as I say, and transfer some more people from Yancheng and Fancheng. For a long time to come, Licheng will be the foundation of our Zhong family."
Beast Taming Sect, meeting hall.
Miao Qianqian knelt in the main hall, crying about the misfortune of her family. Gu Qingfeng was in a corner of the hall, adding a few words to help Miao Qianqian from time to time.
Acting Sect Master Gu Jing frowned upon hearing this and thought to himself, "This is not a job for a human being. You come to me for everything! It's so annoying! No wonder Situ Hao is still at the initial stage of fusion. How can he have time to practice?"
Qiu Wanren took Situ Hao, the former leader of the Beast Taming Sect, into seclusion. Gu Jing was the acting leader appointed by Liu Qian herself. It had only been a short while since she took the position, but she became impatient.
"How brave you are!" After Miao Qianqian finished her cry, a deep voice rang out in the hall: "My Beast Taming Sect hasn't encountered such a thing in many years. Sect Master Gu, this matter must be taken seriously."
Gu Jing asked hurriedly: "Second Elder, what are your opinions? You may as well speak them out for everyone to hear."
The second elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Liao Tian, has reached the peak of the middle stage of the fusion realm.
Liao Tian said calmly: "In my opinion, this is a provocation to my Beast Taming Sect!
"My disciples' family members are also considered half members of the Beastmaster Sect. Even if they have committed a heinous crime, it should be handled by our Beastmaster Sect ourselves. It is not the turn of others to intervene!"
Gu Jing stroked his beard and said, "Second Elder, what you said makes sense..." "That's wrong!" Before Gu Jing finished speaking, he was interrupted by another voice: "What do you mean by 'even if you have committed a heinous crime', Elder Liao? Our sect has always restrained its disciples and they are not allowed to rely on their status to oppress their fellow disciples. Don't forget, Dongzhou also has the Yu Lei Sect and Yu Gui Sect, be careful of what you say!"
Liao Tian sneered, "Fourth Elder, are you trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? You are afraid of them, but I am not!"
The fourth elder, Yang Fan, is at the peak of the middle stage of fusion and has always been at odds with the third elder.
Yang Fan stood up and said, "I'm afraid? I'm afraid that you'll bring disaster to the sect!"
Without waiting for Liao Tian to fight back, Yang Fan turned around and bowed to Gu Jing, saying, "Sect Master, this matter should indeed be taken seriously, but we cannot do it like the Third Elder did. We must first investigate the matter thoroughly.
As the saying goes, 'the truth will prevail in the world'. If the Miao family really did something that angered heaven and people, then this is their retribution!"
Miao Qianqian shouted, "Fourth Elder! When has the Miao family ever offended you? How dare you say such a thing!!"
“How dare you!” Gu Jing’s eyes flashed, and Miao Qianqian was directly crushed by the pressure. Gu Qingfeng was shocked and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: “Sect Master Qian’er just lost a loved one, so she is a little incoherent. Please forgive me!”
Gu Jing withdrew his coercion and said calmly, "Since this is your first offense, I will forgive you this time. Gu Qingfeng, take her away. I will notify you when there is a result."
Miao Qianqian was almost fainted by Gu Jing's pressure. Gu Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Miao Qianqian and walked out.
Gu Jing didn't even use one percent of his strength. A cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm could be killed with just a glance from him.
The two of them left, and Gu Jing shook her head and thought to herself, "That's it? She still wants to be my junior sister, so naive! I don't know what Master sees in her."
There is no harm without comparison. Now that Gu Jing has seen geniuses like Pan Chengfeng, Liu Yuexin, and Li Ke, he will naturally compare the younger generation with them. After this comparison, he wishes he could throw Miao Qianqian away where she can't be seen.
Gu Jing looked at the third and fourth elders again and said, "What the two junior brothers said makes sense. Our sect doesn't know what to do for the moment. Who will Situ Hao let handle this kind of thing?"
"Tian Qihang~" and "Jiang Heng~" The two spoke at the same time. The third elder recommended Jiang Heng, and the fourth elder recommended Tian Qihang.
Gu Jing was stunned, looked at the angry third and fourth elders, sighed and said, "Who is it?"
The fourth elder sneered and said, "Elder Liao really is a man of talent, regardless of kinship. If I remember correctly, Jiang Heng should be your brother-in-law, right?"
The third elder countered: "It seems that Tian Qihang is also the nephew of Elder Yang?"
What is going on? In a sect, almost everyone is related to each other.
In fact, this is not surprising. After all, a cultivator in the state of fusion can live so long, and it is normal for him to arrange his own people to work in the sect.
The sect also needs to absorb talents, and these two people are indeed talents. They are both newly promoted fusion cultivators and need "political achievements" to get promoted, so the big guys will fight for jobs for them.
Gu Jing was in a dilemma, and thought to himself: "Situ Hao, you better break out quickly, I don't want to sit here for a moment!"
Seeing that Gu Jing was silent, Yang Fan quickly added: "Sect Master, the last time the Chu State Blood Demon Sect's matter happened, it was Tian Qihang who handled it. The ancestors all praised him for handling it well. There is no one more suitable than him for this matter."
Gu Jing's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The ancestor praised him for his ability to get things done? That's great! Let Tian Qihang go on this trip and make sure to investigate the matter thoroughly!
We in the Beast Taming Sect don’t cause trouble, but if we are really bullied, we are not afraid of trouble!!”
