Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Sothing is weird_1
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched rhythmically.
He had previously encountered a group of people whom he thought were looking to cause him trouble. Now that he heard that others had also been attacked, and that many had been captured, he was a bit surprised.
The strength of God’s Spokesperson was indeed good, no organization dared to confront them at present.
However, the strength of their Huaxia ancient martial arts world was also not bad. In theory, God’s Spokesperson shouldn’t be foolish enough to act ostentatiously in their ancient martial world.
If a real confrontation took place, even if God’s Spokesperson won the final victory, it would inevitably be a pyrrhic victory.
"Lord Zhang, it seems rather restless recently, you better be careful."
Zhang Xian laughed and asked, "Did you call just to remind
to be careful? Or does your temple have any thoughts on this matter?"
"Haha, before figuring out the matter, I can only remind you a few words. As for what to do exactly, we can discuss it later."
Zhang Xian laughed and placated a few words then hung up the phone.
He knew that the reason why the kasaya man called might be to remind him, but more likely, he wanted to see his attitude.
As most distinguished singles of the ancient sect, when foreign enemies attack, the temple has to stand up. Although he was not of the ancient sects, he was an ancient martial artist, and the temple was trying to pull him into a camp.
"What happened?" Mo Shaoyun asked curiously.
Zhang Xian put away his phone and smiled, "Nothing, don’t worry about these things."
Mo Shaoyun frowned, "But I want to know."
"Um....."
Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile, "Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just the people of God’s Spokesperson wanting to target our ancient martial world. We encountered them when we left."
"Targeting the Huaxia Ancient Martial World?"
Mo Shaoyun asked in surprise, "Aren’t the ancient sects very strong? Why would they target the ancient martial world?"
"I don’t know either."
Zhang Xiang frowned, "Perhaps I underestimated the strength of God’s Spokesperson before. They might be much stronger than I imagined. Without a certain grasp, they wouldn’t target the ancient martial world. At least, under the current situation, they wouldn’t move against this juicy piece."
"What to do then?"
Mo Shaoyun said, "You’ve always said that God’s Spokesperson is very strong. They’ve shown quite good strength. How are you going to deal with them?"
"How would I know? Right now, I just take one step at a ti."
Zhang Xian said, "After all this trouble, I still don’t know the details about God’s Spokesperson. I can’t plan without information. All I can do is wait for them to make a move."
"Take it slow!" Mo Shaoyun sighed.
She knew that it was impossible to let these guys give up dealing with God’s Spokesperson. All she could do was to hold Zhang Xian back, forcing him to be vigilant and careful outside.
"I know." Zhang Xian nodded.
Mo Shaoyun looked at Zhang Xian, nodded and asked, "With the current situation, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"I have no plans."
Zhang Xian said, "I am not yet a part of the ancient martial world. Even if I step forward, no one will care."
Mo Shaoyun looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "So, do you an to let them fight with God’s Spokesperson first, then step forward when both are injured?"
"Yes, that’s the general idea."
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "We’ve heard a lot about the strife among the ancient sects from Shitai. Under these circumstances, wouldn’t I be standing in the spotlight if I step up?"
...
Zhang Xian had no intention of interfering with Liu Lin’s business, and returned to Yanjing the next day.
Now, God’s Spokesperson was targeting the ancient martial world, not him. Without any benefits, and the risk of being taken advantage of, he wouldn’t foolishly beco the sacrificial lamb.
In the following period, Mo Shaoyun and the other girls were engaged in their work. Zhang Xian was not idle, hiding in the secret room, frantically engaging in alchemy.
Now, they only have a villa in Tiandu, but in the future, other villas will co out. The Dan dicine needed is surely a vast quantity. Although he has trained many good alchemists, this thing cannot be widely taught after all. He can only prepare a large stockpile before the villas are open.
"Phew, this should be enough for a while."
When the last batch of Dan dicine was finished, Zhang Xian stood up, stretched lazily, and walked out of the secret room.
Although the current inventory was still insufficient, he had been in the secret room for half a month without any rest. Now, he wanted to get out and breathe. He also missed his wives after not seeing them for a while.
"Zhang Xian..."
Suddenly, Fu iting ca from one direction, "I was just looking for you. Your timing is perfect!"
Zhang Xian smiled and asked, "What are you looking for
for? Do you miss ?"
"Of course, I do!"
Fu iting said, "But I’m not looking for you because I miss you; there was an accident at one of our work sites, and you need to go there yourself."
"What happened?" Zhang Xian asked with a frown.
Generally, soone is responsible for the work sites, and the won themselves are in charge. Now that the problem had reached him, it must not be a minor issue.
"I’m not really sure what’s going on, we need to go there and check."
Fu iting said, "We got a call saying that so weird incidents have been occurring in the village near our construction site, with frequent deaths. At first, it seed unrelatable to our work site, but since we’ve just arrived and the villagers can’t find any other reason, they are blaming us for these happenings. They are now demanding an explanation."
"Frequent deaths with no apparent cause?" Zhang Xian glanced at Fu iting and asked, "Are there any other details?"
Fu iting replied, "It seems soone heard sounds resembling a wild beast."
"Sounds like a wild beast?"
After furrowing his brows, Zhang Xian queried, "If soone heard the growling of a wild beast, why would they toss the bla onto us? That doesn’t make sense, right?"
"What can we do if they insist on blaming us?"
Fu iting said grumpily, "Going by what they said, these incidents started occurring only after we arrived."
"This is simply irrational!" Zhang Xian couldn’t help but wear a bitter smile on his face.
Fu iting added, "Regardless, you should head over to Honghu County and take a look."
"Honghu County?"
Zhang Xian said, "Isn’t that place pretty remote?"
"Yes, it’s just a couple of villages."
Fu iting chuckled and said, "We’ve invested hugely in that place. If the situation remains unresolved and work is halted, we’ll suffer a significant loss."
"Yeah, I do have high expectations for that place." Zhang Xian nodded.
Among the various properties, the one in Longhu County was unique in its nature. With its appealing scenery and a natural lake, Zhang Xian had planned to make it a permanent resort where those with health issues could recuperate until they were fully recovered.
"So, are you going?" inquired Fu iting.
Zhang Xian nodded, "Of course, I will. If the matter has escalated to this extent, it ans you guys couldn’t handle it. It seems I have to step in personally."
"What do you an?"
Fu iting looked at Zhang Xian discontentedly, "Are you suggesting that we are useless?"
"Not at all, I didn’t an that."
Zhang Xian gave a mischievous grin and said, "I was only kidding. If you guys couldn’t handle anything, how could we have achieved today’s scale? I surely value your hard work."
Fu iting laughed, "So, how do you plan to show your gratitude to us?"
"Uh... I haven’t really thought about it yet. But I assure you I will express my gratitude properly in the future. You can count on that," said Zhang Xian with a smile.
Fu iting shot Zhang Xian a reproachful look and said, "Last ti you were out, you failed to convince Mo Shaoyun, right?"
Zhang Xian scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Uh, wasn’t there just no chance? You think I didn’t want to? If she refused, what could I do? I can’t force anything, can I?"
"Don’t worry, there’s a new opportunity."
Fu iting claid, "Mo Shaoyun is in charge of the Longhu County project, she is already packing her stuff, waiting for you."
Zhang Xian asked, "So, Elder Sister Shaoyun is also heading there with ?"
Fu iting laughed, "What’s the matter? Are you not happy about the company of a beautiful woman?"
"Not at all!"
Zhang Xian chuckled and said, "Having the company of a beauty, what more can one wish for?"
Fu iting looked at him and asked, "Little Xian Xian, why do I feel sothing’s off about what you just said?"
"What’s off?"
Zhang Xian smirked, wrapping his arm around Fu iting’s shoulders, "Let’s go find Elder Sister Shaoyun."
...
By evening, they had arrived at Fuyong Village in Longhu County.
After a day’s journey, Zhang Xian, and Mo Shaoyun had finally reached their destination.
The one in charge of the work site in Longhu County was a woman in her thirties nad Jiang Yuanyuan. Upon seeing Zhang Xian and Mo Shaoyun, she quickly stepped out of the car.
"Are you the one in charge here?"
When Zhang Xian spotted Jiang Yuanyuan, he asked, "How’s the situation here currently? Are you facing any major challenges?"
"Uh, Mr. Zhang, President Mo, you haven’t eaten anything yet, have you?" Jiang Yuanyuan said with a smile, "The situation here is a bit complicated. Why don’t we get so food first and discuss it in detail later?"
Zhang Xian nodded and replied, "Okay, let’s talk while we walk."
"Okay."
Jiang Yuanyuan gestured invitingly, "The al is ready over there. However, we’re in the countryside, I just hope you’ll be comfortable. Unfortunately, we don’t have the sa benefits as in the big cities, and the conditions are limited. If our services fall short in any way, please excuse us, Mr. Zhang and President Mo."
"We don’t mind these things." Mo Shaoyun said, "Can you first tell us what exactly happened?"
Jiang Yuanyuan wore a bitter smile and said, "Actually, it is not that big a deal. These villagers are deliberately blaming us, hoping for so compensation."
Zhang Xian said, "That’s not the point. I want to know what exactly happened here. Let’s not get involved with the villager’s bla ga for now; our primary concern is to resolve this issue."
"Well..."
Jiang Yuanyuan confessed, "Mr. Zhang, I am not going to lie, the situation here is a bit strange."
