The Great Wild God - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Retainer
Deacon Zhao had some business to attend to, so he couldn’t get away. He even sent two people to escort Shopkeeper Zhao’s family back to Tongluo Alley with Chen Xun.

Returning to their residence, Grandpa and the others were still discussing the matter of the alliance with Montenegro, Left Thorn, and the others.

Zong Ling and Nan Xi were cultivating in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Xun go out, Cai’er, who hadn’t seen him for more than a month, actually came back. She ran over excitedly and asked,

“Ah Xun, the people from Lord Ge’s mansion sent your guest robes back. They said that you would be back soon, but they didn’t see your figure for a long time. So you ran back to pick Cai’er up?”

“Cai’er greets Young Master Ah Ling, Young Master Nanxi” Cai’er blushed and ran over to salute Zong Ling and Nanxi.

Shopkeeper Zhao was surnamed Zhao Mingtu. His name was domineering and his cultivation was extremely low. He also hurriedly ran over to salute. Seeing that Zong Ling and Nan Xi were younger, and both of them were at the middle stage of the True Yang Realm, he was secretly shocked. He thought to himself, Young Master A Xun’s Black Python Tribe’s strength should not be underestimated.

Chen Xun had told Zong Ling and Nan Xi about what had happened today. If they were to stay in the courtyard and concentrate on their cultivation, Azure Water City might not be safer than Python Fang Ridge’s Northern Mountain Wilderness.

“So Cai’er isn’t here to serve Ah Xun?” Zong Ling knew the reason and said with regret.

Zhao Tu was tactful. He followed Chen Xun’s lead and pleaded, “Cai’er has nowhere to go when she comes home. Please take her in, Young Master Ah Xun.”

Chen Xun thought to himself that in the future, he would no longer be able to randomly send the disciples of the Nine Clans. He would also need someone to help him with his daily chores.

Zhao Tu looked at the clerk whose cultivation was low, but who was born and raised in Canglan City, and who had worked in the Immortal Retention House for twenty years. He was smart and capable, and he was also very clear about cultivation and the things that were common in Canglan City.

If it weren’t for today’s lucky chance, where would he have gone to find such an exquisite steward?

“If Uncle Zhao has nowhere to go, all of you stay behind and help me manage this courtyard.” Chen Xun said.

“Zhao Tu thanks Young Master Ah Xun for taking him in!” Hearing Chen Xun intending to take him in, Zhao Tu immediately pulled an old man and knelt down to salute Chen Xun.

In Azure Water City, the civilians had a hard time surviving. Only by living in a large clan would they have the hope of soaring to prominence.

Not to mention that they had offended the Immortal Retention House this time. Without Chen Xun’s protection, the entire family would probably be corpsed on the streets tomorrow.

“The courtyard on my side is narrow and small. I can’t afford to live in so many. Take these Black Python Pills and buy a house nearby to settle down first.” As Chen Xun spoke, he handed the beast skin bag filled with the Black Python Pill to Zhao Tu.

Qiong Wen was rich in martial arts and cultivated defeated races.

Chen Xun was embarrassed. He couldn’t even afford a low-level magic book, but fifty Black Python Pills were a huge fortune in the mortal world. Zhao Tu was more than enough to settle his family down.

Chen Xun thought for a moment and handed the guest Qing seal to Zhao Tu from his waist.

“Take this first. It’s convenient for you to handle it. You can return it to me after settling down …”

Zhao Tu was only a minor character in Azure Water City. He was afraid of falling into the eyes of thieves when he walked with a bag of Black Python Pills, but with Chen Xun’s Guest Qing Seal protecting him, it was completely different.

If anyone in Azure Water City was blind and ran over to rob the guest lord of the Su Martial Commandant’s Mansion, their fate would not be better than Yue Lun and his son’s.

We met today, Chen Xun gave the guest lord’s seal to him with confidence. Zhao Tu was also extremely excited and grateful. However, he had seen Chen Xun’s spicy methods in the Immortal Retention House at such a young age. He knew that he could use them cheaply in the future, but he didn’t dare to have any ill intentions. He thought to himself that Young Master A Xun was so generous. He was a guest of the Su Martial Commandant’s Manor at such a young age. He would surely rise to prominence in the future. Perhaps he could even become an elder of the Su Clan.

Zhao Tu thought. In the future, he would serve her with all his heart. In the future, Cai’er might be lucky enough to become Young Master Ah Xun’s concubine. Naturally, she would have a chance to rise to fame. He was afraid that this girl would not understand. He wondered if he would let his mother-in-law teach her secretly …

********************

Grandpa’s matters wouldn’t be over for a while, so Chen Xun went back to the study to meditate.

In the middle of the sky, Chen Xun heard Zhao Tu whispering to Cai’er in the courtyard. He pushed open the door and walked out, asking, “Did you get things done so quickly?”

‘”With Young Master’s guest imprint, it’s very convenient to do things. The mansion is right across the alley, and the host is happy to move out overnight at double the price. It’s also convenient for Young Master to call from the alley if he has any requests.” Zhao Tu said excitedly, wanting to return the guest imprint and the extra Black Python Pill to Chen Xun.

Chen Xun took over the guest seal and left the extra Black Python Pill for Zhao Tu to stay by his side.

‘”Stay by your side for now. I’ll need you to take care of this courtyard in the future. Your two brats, I can see that their bones aren’t bad. If you intend to cultivate, you don’t have to save too much money for me.”

Apart from Cai’er, Zhao Tu also had two young sons. Their aptitudes and bones weren’t bad, but Chen Xun didn’t have the time to personally teach them.

There were countless sects in Azure Water City. Although they could not impart any profound profound profound arts, as long as they could enter the sect and cultivate diligently, their cultivation at the True Yang Realm junior high school could still be expected to reach.

Joining these sects was extremely costly, and it was definitely not something that a commoner’s home could afford.

However, learning from his master and the consumption of cultivation at the early stage of the True Yang Realm were nothing to Chen Xun.

At most, one or two more Black Python Pills would be consumed every month.

If this was the case, Zhao Tu Zhong Xin could help him with his chores, and Cai’er could serve him faithfully so that he could cultivate without any distractions, it would definitely be worth it.

Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Zhao Tu burst into tears of gratitude as he hurriedly knelt down with Cai’er to thank her.

“If there’s nothing else, go rest. It’s been a long day.” Chen Xun said.

Zhao Tu said, “I still have one more thing to report to Young Master …”

“What is it?” Chen Xun asked.

Zhao Tu said, “Yue Lun and his son have already moved out of the Immortal Retention House. They escaped from the city overnight with their wives, children, and servants.”

Chen Xun was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that Yue Lun and his son would move so quickly. They actually escaped overnight with their families, as if they were afraid that they would die on the streets of Canglan if they stayed for a moment longer.

Chen Xun remained silent for a long time before asking Zhao Tu, “Oh right, have you heard the name Qing Yangzi in Azure Water City?”

“Young Master, are you asking Grand Elder Qingyang of the Azure Water College?” Zhao Tu asked, puzzled. Why hadn’t Chen Xun even heard of Qing Yangzi’s name?

“After I arrived at Azure Water City, I focused on cultivating. My knowledge of the Su Clan and Azure Water City is limited-otherwise, I wouldn’t have made such a big commotion in the Immortal Retention House today.” Chen Xun said calmly.

“Although Qing Yangzi is not a disciple of the Su Clan, he is also from the Su Clan’s Commandant’s Manor. In terms of seniority, he should be considered the current Su Clan’s Manor Master’s Martial Uncle. His status in the Academy is respected. He broke through to the Reincarnation Realm a hundred years ago and advanced to the Heavenly Yuan Realm!” Zhao Tu said.

Chen Xun felt a chill in his back. He had eavesdropped on the secret discussion of the Left Thorn Tribe the night before yesterday. He knew that Qing Yangzi, who was a disciple of Lou Yiyi, was no small matter. However, he never expected that this person’s background would be so great. He was actually Su Qingfeng, Su Quan’s master-ancestor level figure.

A hundred years ago, he had already advanced to the Heaven Origin Realm. Even though such a peerless expert was inferior to the ancestor of the Su Clan who had lived for hundreds of years in Canglan, he was still not far behind, right?

Chen Xun nodded, expressing that he knew about this matter, causing Zhao Tu and Cai’er, who had been frightened all day, to go to rest first. He walked back to the study and sat down, but his heart couldn’t calm down.

Yue Lun and his son had fled in a hurry, showing the cruelty of this world to the fullest.

Azure Water City still seemed to have some rules to speak of, but the nature of the strong eating the weak had not changed in the slightest.

Even if Yue Lun and his son did not flee, the Immortal Retention Temple Scripture would surely plummet after today’s incident. In the past, the powers that had grudges against the Immortal Retention Temple would definitely not miss the opportunity to beat a dog into a mess.

If Yue Lun and his son didn’t escape overnight, they wouldn’t need Chen Xun or Deacon Zhao to make a move today. Perhaps they would die in the streets in a while.

Chen Xun thought to himself, as a guest of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor, he was protected. He wasn’t afraid that Ghost Faction would dare to openly do anything to him, but what would happen in the future?

Could it be that he really wanted to eat and wait for death all his life under the protection of Su Tang and the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor?

Perhaps the Gui Xi Tribe was already disdainful of attacking him. As long as Lou Yiyi cultivated successfully under Qing Yangzi’s sect and personally came to seek revenge against him, he would definitely not be able to escape a calamity.

Qing Yangzi relied on his identity, so it was inconvenient for him to bully the weak. However, Lou Shiyi ran over to seek revenge on him, and Su Tang and Su Qingfeng no longer had any reason to protect him.

Qing Yangzi’s status was respected. He had entered the Heaven Origin Realm a hundred years ago. Not to mention the profound arts secret arts, the cultivation resources he grasped must also be a few days.

When Lou Shiyi joined his sect, his cultivation would be extremely fast. Perhaps he could break through his physical barrier and advance to the Reincarnation Realm before he was twenty years old.

When Lou Yiyi had successfully cultivated and ran to seek revenge, could it be that he was also like Yue Lun and his son, like a falling dog, fleeing Cang Lan in a hurry?

No, absolutely not!

Wherever he went, he had changed the nature of the law of the jungle.

If he always wanted to live in seclusion, perhaps there would be no hope of returning to Earth in this life.

If he didn’t want Lou Yiyi to cultivate successfully to seek revenge, the only way was to be stronger than Lou Yiyi.

He was strong enough, this was the foundation of his foothold in the Realm of Heaven, so he didn’t have to live like a drowning dog.

******************

“Commander Qu, Yue Lun and his son, did you force that brat to flee today?” After Lou Jiao received the report, he already knew what had happened in Huayang Fang’s Immortal Retention House today. He hurriedly ran to Lou Li’s guest house and asked for countermeasures, “If it weren’t for someone looking for Yue Lun and his son, I believe that since Yue Lun and his son are both dead dogs, they probably wouldn’t mind finding someone to kill this brat before fleeing!”

‘”No,” Lou Li shook his head with a gloomy expression. “His dog life has to be left to Shi Yi to take. If you have the chance, as long as you restrain them, don’t let them have the chance to develop too quickly!”

“Why?” Lou Jiao asked in confusion.

They urged Yue Lun to find someone to take action and destroy the corpse afterwards. The matter could not be traced back to them.

Even if Su Tang would cause trouble for them after coming out of seclusion, but if there was no evidence, what could she do to them?

Lou Li sighed lightly and said, “This brat treats Shi Yi like this. After Shi Yi cultivates successfully, no one can stop him from seeking revenge. Another, Shi Yi cultivates and cannot leave behind a mental barrier …”

“Heart barrier!” Lou Jiao asked.

“That’s right, it’s a mental barrier,” Lou Li said. “Martial Ancestor Qingyang also said that the mental barrier suitable for foreigners should be left to Shi Yi to break. Without breaking the mental barrier, Shi Yi would have no chance of breaking through to the Heaven Origin Realm in his lifetime!”

“So it’s what Martial Ancestor Qingyang meant. Lou Jiao understands.” Lou Jiao knew that Qing Yangzi had entered the Heaven Origin Realm a hundred years ago, so it was impossible for him to speculate about his foresight. Besides, Qing Yangzi hoped that Shi Yi would be able to break through to the Heaven Origin Realm, so what was there to hold back his anger for a moment?
