Chapter 481: Chapter 491 Two Miscellaneous Tasks
Despite their eagerness, the four of them could do nothing but hold back their feelings without Chu Feng’s orders. Now that Chu Feng had taken the initiative to let them leave, it perfectly aligned with their wishes.
Chu Feng gave the four a stern set of instructions.
Having the Northern Domain Three Evils guard the pharmacy, aside from handling so miscellaneous tasks, was mainly to act as bodyguards for Li Shishi. They were to prevent any forceful buying or selling, or thwart any lowly tactics intended to cause destruction.
Given the strength and rich worldly experience of the Northern Domain Three Evils, employing them as guards for the pharmacy was certainly making the best use of them.
As for the Beixie National Master, he was to work alongside Li Shishi.
Li Shishi, with her stunning beauty and eloquence, was to handle sales and gather intelligence. This was to establish a new intelligence system.
The Beixie National Master was seasoned and prudent, with extraordinary wisdom.
Having weathered great storms and the trials of blood and fire, he was to take the role of the pharmacy’s shopkeeper.
At the sa ti, a secret mission was entrusted to the Beixie National Master: to covertly recruit talent and cultivate a private army.
Of course, should they encounter any truly formidable individual or powerful being, it would definitely require Chu Feng’s intervention to subdue them.
For ordinary masters or talented individuals, the Beixie National Master could handle their recruitnt.
Chu Feng had neither the energy nor the ti for it.
...
Not long after the Beixie National Master and the others had left, Mao Wu Mountain Master ca with a grim face, accompanied by the people from the Law Enforcent Hall.
The Ten Thousand Sword Sect had over a hundred dicine Mountains.
Mao Wu Mountain Master was in charge of just one of them. Within a single day, Chu Feng had made five people leave the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, placing Mao Wu Mountain Master in a very passive position.
With the news spreading, outsiders might wonder what to make of his status as Mountain Master.
Especially the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, who may suspect that there were problems with his managent. Especially since not long ago, there had been an incident. Ding Ku’s leader openly frad Chu Feng and was caught red-handed.
When Chu Feng was first assigned to dicine Mountain No. 106, Mao Wu Mountain Master thought it was a great opportunity to achieve great rit.
If he could deal with Chu Feng, he would win favor with Jia Zhenjing.
Afterward, with just a few good words from Jia Zhenjing in front of Zong Ling, or if he facilitated things for Mao Wu Mountain Master, he would surely rise significantly, perhaps even securing greater opportunities for advancent.
Far better than always staying here as Mountain Master, a million tis stronger.
In the first few years as Mountain Master, Mao Wu felt very happy. But as ti went on, he beca increasingly dissatisfied. Many who had beco Mountain Masters at the sa ti as him had already been promoted.
Either they had been transferred to much better functional departnts,
Or had even been promoted to Outer Elders. Or, if extrely lucky, had entered the Inner Sect.
Only he and a few bottom-ranking Mountain Masters remained treading water.
A couple of years ago, a Mountain Master was investigated by the Sect for corruption and embezzlent. The investigation was thorough, demoting him to Sword Slave and confiscating all his properties. His fate was truly tragic.
Over the years, Mao Wu Mountain Master had covertly embezzled a substantial amount of Silver.
However, he was very discreet and never dared to embezzle wildly or engage in rampant bribery. His offenses were of a more moderate nature.
Otherwise, he would likely have been investigated by now.
After all, the Sect’s Law Enforcent Hall was no joke. They checked the ledgers once every year.
The inspectors sent to audit were experts in their field. With just a glance, they could tell if there were any discrepancies in the books. Mao Wu Mountain Master would wine and dine those who ca down to audit every year, and then secretly slip them so Silver or a tael of precious dicinal materials to bribe them.
And he had always managed to escape scrutiny.
Nonetheless, he felt increasingly uneasy within.
They say that the older one gets, the more timid one becos, and this saying is quite true.
Therefore, Mao Wu Mountain Master dreamt of being promoted, to leave his position as Mountain Master. Being promoted to an Outer Sect Elder, or entering the Inner Sect, would both be very good career paths.
Alas, opportunities were slim.
Right now, there was an excellent opportunity. If Chu Feng could be killed off, Jia Zhenjing would definitely not treat him unfairly.
Not long ago, Jia Zhenjing had specifically invited him for a al.
At the dinner table, Jia Zhenjing rely hinted that as long as Mao Wu Mountain Master dealt with Chu Feng, he would never treat Mao Wu Mountain Master unfairly.
If he could send Han Xiaoying, Chu Feng’s fiancée, to Jia Zhenjing, Mao Wu Mountain Master could imdiately enter the Inner Sect.
...
Because Chu Feng was exceptionally formidable, Mao Wu Mountain Master had never been able to take care of him. At least, sending Manager Tang Ying, a great general, had not succeeded in capturing Chu Feng.
This ti, Chu Feng entered Steward Cheng Cheng’s territory and injured the small leader Luo Sishui.
This cri could be major or minor.
It just gave Mao Wu Mountain Master an opportunity to make a move. This ti, even if both Vice Mountain Masters joined forces, they would not be able to protect Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, do you know of your cris?" After Mao Wu Mountain Master arrived at Chu Feng’s stone house with the people from the Law Enforcent Hall, he spread out in a flash, surrounding Chu Feng in the middle.
"Of what cri am I accused?"
Chu Feng was composed and unafraid.
Before acting, he had already thought through the consequences.
"Hmph, still playing dumb here. Looks like you won’t confess honestly until I show you so severity," Mao Wu Mountain Master signaled with his eyes to the two experts from the Law Enforcent Hall.
On the way here, these two experts from the Law Enforcent Hall had already received benefits from Mao Wu Mountain Master.
They were just little rascals in the Law Enforcent Hall, not high in status.
If they just relied on their salaries to live by, they would surely be strapped for cash. During law enforcent and handling affairs, it was possible to receive so benefits.
Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, as long as you don’t speak out, who would know?
"First, capture this little rascal!"
The two experts from the Law Enforcent Hall lunged at Chu Feng from both sides.
The clothes they wore were like a tiger’s skin. It was only their place to hit Chu Feng; Chu Feng absolutely could not fight back.
Otherwise, it would constitute violent resistance to law enforcent, and he would face severe punishnt from the sect.
"You two are just responsible for miscellaneous tasks in the Law Enforcent Hall, what right do you have to capture ?" Chu Feng stared at their clothes for a few seconds, particularly at their badges.
At first glance, their clothes were those of Law Enforcent Hall disciples.
But upon close inspection, one could see there were differences from the official Law Enforcent Hall disciples’ attire.
For instance, the fla in the middle; theirs was orange and there was only one.
anwhile, the official Law Enforcent Hall disciples’ flas were red with three flas.
Furthermore, the badges, tokens, all were different.
These two were part of the Law Enforcent Hall, but as ’temporary workers.’
For the mont, they could only be considered as reserves, not having obtained official qualification.
"You, you dare to insult us as doing miscellaneous tasks?" The faces of the two Law Enforcent Hall experts turned grim, becoming extrely sinister.
People fear having their flaws revealed, trees fear being peeled.
These two belonged to the lowest class within the Law Enforcent Hall; not considered official disciples, they played the role of doing miscellaneous tasks. This was always a pain in their hearts. If soone dared to say to their faces that they were handling miscellaneous tasks –
They would imdiately kill the person.
Chu Feng dared to expose their flaws, instantly igniting their murderous intent.
