As for the previous talk about the Giving Bodhisattva Shared Female Cultivators within Immortal City, Liang Sheng actually had no intention of getting involved in it for the time being.
He had only arrived in Immortal City for a year now, and although he possessed Chen Quan’s memories, Chen Quan was extremely strict and had never been involved in the “Red Light District.”
Since he himself didn’t fully understand the situation, how could Liang Sheng mess around? It’s like when he first arrived in Jinzhou City after crossing over, he also waited for a while before starting to frequent brothels and listen to music.
Just then, there was movement outside the cave mansion, and Liang Sheng quickly eliminated all the traces of the talisman experiment. Soon, a modest voice sounded.
“Patriarch, Lord Huang Zhen has come to visit.”
It was the voice of a servant from the Chen family, and it was transmitted into Liang Sheng’s Cave Mansion through a specific method of transmitting sound.
Liang Sheng immediately made a move, and it seemed that his plot had succeeded, and he could now count on having another useful person.
“Please let Lord Huang Zhen wait in the living room, I will join him shortly.”
Huang Zhen, whose real name is Huang Qiang, is at the Early Nascent Soul stage in his cultivation, also served under Qingfeng Left Envoy. He was a team leader in the Cleaning Department and did not belong to Chen Quan’s command.
However, he and Chen Quan were considered to be from the same lineage, and although their relationship was not close, they had contact, particularly during this year, the relationship had improved, the reason being Liang Sheng’s deliberate efforts.
“Brother Huang!”
“Commander Chen!”
From the way they addressed each other as ‘Daoist Friend’ and ‘Commander,’ it is evident that the two were of different status. After greeting each other, they both sat down on the cushions.
At this time, tea had already been prepared in front of them, with wisps of heat bubbling up. “Has Brother Huang come over tonight because there is news already?”
Huang Qiang vigorously nodded his head, his expression somewhat excited.
“Yes, thank you for pointing it out, Daoist Chen. This time, I found the Cave Mansion of an unnamed Cultivator in a wilderness area of the Lower City. Thus, I have come to visit and express my gratitude today.”
At this moment, Huang Qiang was genuinely full of gratitude. Although they had lost two Golden Core Daoists from the Huang family during the exploration of the Nameless Cave Mansion this time, the result was worth it.
“Ten Nascent Soul Pills!”
This was the most significant discovery in that Nameless Cave Mansion. As for the other treasures in the mansion, they had long lost their spirituality and were not worth mentioning.
However, the fact that Chen Quan was willing to give such information about the Nameless Cave Mansion to himself showed that Chen Quan was sincerely helping the Huang family.
“Brother Huang, you are too polite. You also know that I have just returned from the Marginal Domain marked with the letter ‘Yi,’ so it is not convenient for me to take action personally. I need to avoid any suspicion.”
Moreover, I’m afraid that the Left Envoy would ask about the Desolate Regions again, so it is not advisable for me to leave Immortal City. It is fortunate that everything went smoothly for you, and we should celebrate.”
As for showing such gratitude, you are slapping at my face. What is our relationship? We are both part of the Cleaning Department, led by the Left Envoy.”
Furthermore, I heard that last time, you were caught by the Right Envoy and the Internal Affairs Office because of me. As a result, your salary has been deducted by the Internal Affairs Office, and you never complained.”
I know that you are in a difficult position and understand that you arc doing it for the Left Envoy and to make up for my mistakes. That’s why you are acting like this.”
Since my Chen family dare not stand up for you for the sake of our self-preservation, I, Chen Quan, admit that I am a real petty person. I indeed don’t want my Chen family to get involved, but when it comes to helping you, I will do my best.”
Hearing this, Huang Qiang was even more moved. After all, such genuine words were rare now. There were many in the world with hidden motives who love to add flowers to the brocade but few who send help in times of need.
So, at this moment, after hearing these words, Huang Qiang didn’t say more and drank in one gulp as if toasting with wine instead of tea. Afterwards, his eyes brightened.
“Spirit Tea?”
Liang Sheng nodded, “You also know that I completed my task in the Marginal Domain marked with the letter ‘Yi’ quite well and gained some benefits. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been targeted by the Internal Affairs Office.”
“This time, the rewards given by the Qingfeng Left Envoy are plentiful. I ordered some Spirit Tea leaves from Dao Valley Pavilion. When you leave later, you can also take some with you.”
“Daoist Chen is so generous!”
At this moment, Huang Qiang felt that the world had misunderstood Chen Quan greatly. Although Commander Chen’s behavior seemed scheming, flattering towards superiors, and overbearing towards subordinates, he was indeed a truly petty person and a frank individual. He did not have a two-faced nature like others, who appeared as smiling tigers, often addressing each other as brothers, yet laughing at Huang Qiang behind his back.
It seemed that in the future, he would have to apply to become a subordinate of Commander Chen. In this way, even if he had to bear the blame, there would at least be compensation.
Huang Qiang, at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, and Chen Quan, at the Middle Nascent Soul Stage, had a difference of just one step, yet their treatment was worlds apart.
A year ago, when he escorted Chen Quan back to Immortal City, he was then caught by the Internal Affairs Office. Since he did not dare to speak recklessly, his salary was deducted by the Internal Affairs Office, and he was also fined quite a few resources.”
Even the industries of the Huang family in the Lower City were affected. Fortunately, he gained quite a bit from the Lower City this time thanks to Liang Sheng’s information, which compensated for some of the losses.”
Ten Nascent Soul pills have already resolved Huang Qiang’s urgent need, at least there will not be a shortage of Nascent Soul pills for the family in almost one hundred years.
As they relaxed, Huang Qiang and Chen Quan became more and more engaged in their conversation, and unknowingly, the topic shifted to the Marginal Domain marked with the letter ‘Yi’.
Huang Qiang’s job in the Cleaning Department involved investigating the movements in some Desolate Regions. After all, since City Master Zhen Yuan had intervened in the past, Qingfeng could not take it lightly.
Perhaps the City Master is no longer concerned now, but Qingfeng, as the External Affairs Left Envoy, has to be fully prepared.
“Commander Chen, you may not know that in this year since you left the Marginal Domain marked with the letter ‘Yi’, something big has happened there.”
According to the information reported by a spy in Dan Ding Sect, the once strongest Sect, Hua Tian Sect, has been wiped out. Now, the Marginal Domain marked with the letter ‘Yi’ is governed by One Sect and Six Schools..”
