Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Overlord’s Might, the Emergence of the Treasure
Qingning County.
Lin Mansion.
Heavenly Patrol Lin Aoshan, temporarily residing in Lin Guolong’s mansion.
At noon, in the courtyard pavilion. Lin Aoshan sat under the pavilion, enjoying the coolness, the noise of cicadas buzzing in her ears, while the servant held a , catching the cicadas on the trees.
She sat with her legs crossed, her figure showing its curves. Inevitably, she complained about the undesirable location of the mansion. The sun was blazing, the courtyard filled with heat, with nowhere to hide.
She was wearing the standard attire of the Celestial Patrol Bureau, though looking gallant, it was not very breathable, making it quite stuffy. At this moment, under the clothes and in the boots, she was already drenched with sweat.
In the fruit plate, there was ice-cold watermelon. But as soon as it entered her mouth, it couldn’t relieve the summer heat in the slightest.
"Little Sun, why are you so anxious?"
Lin Aoshan saw Lin Guolong hastily running back and forth several times, his short legs creating a shadow, disturbing her, and she asked aloud.
Lin Guolong approached respectfully, performed a junior’s salute, and said: "Good grandma, you may not know, a great event occurred in our county."
"Oh?" Lin Aoshan asked: "What great event?"
Lin Guolong said: "It’s chaotic, all chaotic. Early this morning, people from the three halls and two clans seemed to have agreed. On Xifeng Street, Luofan Street, and Shuixiang Street, several brawls took place."
"They started fighting, which could be ignored, as people from Jianghu have grudges among themselves. But they disturbed the street’s citizens, afraid to open their businesses. Even so, that could still be ignored. The key point is people have died from the fight, the matter is unresolved."
"This is very bad. The situation has grown so large, as the County Magistrate, I should manage somehow, but I don’t know how to manage. Currently lost and helpless. Good grandma, could you assist Little Sun, using your Celestial Patrol Bureau title, to exert some pressure?"
Lin Aoshan shook her head and said: "Ah, if you had a fraction of luck, would you be so passive?"
Lin Guolong, with a flattering expression, massaged Lin Aoshan’s back, smiling: "I’m not talented enough, unable to obtain it? My master does not think highly of me."
Lin Aoshan said: "Luck is not something obtainable. Luck acquired can’t be retained. If the Grand Symbolist passed luck to you, it would be a true waste."
"Scholars with luck can reason with others. They can debate all sides, the rights and wrongs, and no one dares to disregard."
"Good grandma, your lesson is correct, but now we should find a way to resolve it," Lin Guolong said.
"If I’m not mistaken, these gang fights are all excuses," Lin Aoshan took a piece of chilled watermelon, eating while saying: "This is... aimed at that Military Officer."
"Ah!" Lin Guolong realized: "So that’s the case, Brother Li is in a tough position."
Lin Aoshan crossed her legs, interested: "I’m rather curious if that newly arrived Military Officer can handle them."
"Further... the matter of extracting the enemy’s leader from within the midst of an army, no one has witnessed firsthand."
"Is it true or false, this matter will reveal clues."
After devouring the watermelon, she wiped the juice from her hands on Lin Guolong’s clothes, laughing: "Little Sun, accompany your grandma to watch the commotion."
"Good grandma, shouldn’t we bring some troops?" Lin Guolong asked.
"No need," Lin Aoshan replied.
Then she lightly traveled, heading to Wenwu Street, seeking an open space to watch the spectacle.
...
...
Wenwu Street.
In front of the Spring Leaf Martial Arts Hall, people from various factions gathered.
Li Xian was guided here. The guide said: "Military Officer, inside, please hurry and mediate."
In a blink, he ran off.
The street was so congested, at the moment, people from various factions were crammed together. People pushed each other, resembling a human wall, impermeable.
Wang Wu seeing this, stepped forward and said: "Sir, let me make a path for you."
Then he shouted at the crowd: "Military Officer is here, make way quickly!"
His voice was loud enough to be heard despite the commotion. However, no one paid attention, still pushing and shoving, seemingly afraid Li Xian might squeeze in.
"The Military Officer is here, can’t you hear?" Zhang Hou stepped forward, shouting angrily.
Then ridicule came from the crowd:
"Military Officer? Who’s that, never heard of it, what’s this position for?"
"Yeah, in our Jianghu disputes, what’s this dog officer doing here?"
"Could it be he’s hungry and came to beg for water?"
"Haha, then he’s got the wrong idea, but... if the officer doesn’t mind, I’m terribly urgent, got plenty of gold water."
"Hahahahaha."
...
Zhang Hou and Wang Wu were furious, "How dare you disrespect the Military Officer!" They stepped forward together, grabbing one’s shoulder, pulling him back.
After throwing that person aside, the two continued pushing forward, attempting to forcefully make way to uphold the Military Officer’s prestige. But upon reaching the third person, as soon as they put a hand on his shoulder, they felt their hands turn numb, shocked with weakness.
There were experts hidden in the crowd. Just now, Inner Qi rebounded, and although Zhang Hou, Wang Wu, and the others were young and strong, their Qi Power was decent but no match for this hidden maneuver.
With a scream, they were sent flying, nearly falling onto the ground, but were caught by Li Xian’s hands.
"Military Officer, this..." Zhang Hou’s face was full of shame.
Again from within the crowd, mocking voices emerged: "Ignorant children, really think they’re something? Now you should know how high the sky is and the earth is. Call me grandpa, why not?"
"Heh, if you call me grandpa, I’ll reluctantly give you a break."
"How about it, just a little bit of lip service and you can get in. Way better than forcing it."
Li Xian patted their shoulders, not showing anger. He stepped forward, calmly saying: "I give you one last chance. If you don’t make way, the consequences are on your own."
"Let your grandma be a turtle..." Someone in the crowd began to curse. Before the words were finished, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder.
Immediately, a tremendous force pulled him, and he was actually thrown three zhang high!
Li Xian’s eyes sparkled with a cold light as he sneered, his hands swift as lightning, grabbing the shoulders of the person in front of him and forcefully throwing them backward.
With Li Xian personally taking action, the force was naturally immense. Those blocking the way were like chicks, some being flung away, crashing into walls, street carts, and...
It was truly like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable, destroying everything in its path.
Refusing to drink the toast, they end up drinking the forfeit. Li Xian took action again, and no one could stop him. When he caught an old man’s shoulder, he sensed his inner qi wasn’t weak, desperately trying to resist.
"Old man, at such an age, still so sharp-tongued, you’ll end up dead." Li Xian said icily, knowing that the person who had insulted Zhang Hou and Wang Wu was indeed him.
The old man faced a life-threatening situation, sweating in terror. He struggled to circulate his qi to resist but felt it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, the gap too vast, leaving him in despair, his heart heavy with sorrow.
In the next instant, a huge force pulled him, and with a cry of "Ah
