Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1011 - 517: Constable_2

The blind man said, your nature isn’t bad, it’s just that an orange planted in Huainan becomes an orange, but in Huaibei, it turns into a bitter orange. You’ve faced hardships since you were young, surrounded by enemies, and have seen the treachery of human nature, forcing you to be constantly cautious and calculating. Over time, this habit has made you excessively paranoid and dark.

Chen Xuantian raised an eyebrow,

"Oh? So he sent you to enlighten me?"

Yang Yunzhao hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and honestly said,

"Not exactly, he actually told me to seize the chance to beat you up a little while you’re still weak just to vent. But I don’t even know you, why should I hit you?

Besides, I see you’re quite capable. When others insulted you just now, you used your words instead of your fists, so you’re not some bully who preys on the weak. You’re much better than those Gate Valve Official’s playboy kids who stop at nothing, committing all kinds of evils and wiping out entire families.

So I’ve decided not to fight, let’s just be friends."

Chen Xuantian,

"... Can you tell me again what’s the name of the blind guy talking bad about me behind my back?"

Yang Yunzhao spread his hands, "He didn’t say." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Actually, Chen Xuantian could already guess without him saying it was the old ancestor Kun. After all, only two people are aware of Chen Xuantian’s existence, and Kun isn’t blind. Moreover, to join the company and become a henchman, the Three Corpses cut ties even more decisively, except for Tie Dan, anyone daring to raise their voice against Peng Ju got killed.

Chen Xuantian felt quite bewildered, pondering why Peng Ju’s offense concerned him at all? Especially when even his Primordial Spirit was devoured, wasn’t that considered annihilation? Why would there still be constant trouble found for him? And particularly such talkative trouble...

"Hey fatty, I’ve told you so much, and you still haven’t told me your name. With such profound Inner Strength, and your capability to predict, are you perhaps a disciple of the Mystic Sect? Are you in the Southern Border for training? How long have you been here, and are you familiar with the conditions nearby? I’ve heard the local tyrant now in the Southern Border is the Nangong family, have you had any contact with them?"

Yang Yunzhao chattered away like a tag-along little pest, disrupting Chen Xuantian’s plans to level up by catching fish.

With his mouth that says ’I’ll tell you a secret, don’t tell others,’ sooner or later, everyone would be fighting over the Hidden Reed Fish, then how could he ever refine Li Dragon and Kan Tiger Elixir?

Yet even though he wanted to slap this guy dead, he couldn’t. Didn’t you hear that the blind man asked them to ’make friends’? This guy is clearly forcibly shoved into his side, probably someone still owing a debt to balance karma. Maybe he’s here to watch him, waiting for him to make a mistake. If he slapped Yang Yunzhao on the head on this side, another slap might come from the other side.

He smirked, no way would he fall for such a trap?

At once, Chen Xuantian’s eyes whirled around, bowed, and said,

"I, Chen Xuantian, a mere Mountain Man, am devoted to cultivation and Seeking Dao, with no intention to participate in worldly disputes. Brother Yang, if you want to measure the land and clear household numbers, please forgive my inability to assist."

Yang Yunzhao shrugged,

"You needn’t worry, I know this is difficult and dangerous, I’ll do it myself, no hurry. Now arriving in Yun Meng, I want to wander around and get familiar with the terrain first."

Chen Xuantian smiled and said,

"That can be arranged, I’m very familiar with Yun Meng’s terrain, I was just planning to go demon hunting in the lake, do you want to join?"

Yang Yunzhao was delighted,

"Demon Hunting! Sure, let’s go!"

Chen Xuantian with a kind expression,

"No rush, I need to prepare a bit first, the animal yard run by the Nangong family isn’t far, let’s go buy some food talismans first."

"Sure, let’s go!"

The two of them then made their way to the animal yard, and as Chen Xuantian expected, if Yang Yunzhao wasn’t lying, there was no need for plotting, just bringing him there to have a look...

"The Left Supervisor of Thief Catcher is here! Everyone stop!"

As soon as they entered, they saw the foreman of the Nangong family whipping child laborers, and Yang Yunzhao immediately jumped out to intervene.

"Thief catcher?" "From the Six Gates."

Though Chen Xuantian didn’t think much of Yang Yunzhao’s official status, in the eyes of the Nangong family and their henchmen longing to join Immortal Palace, it was quite awe-inspiring. Thus, as soon as he made his entrance, the child laborers who were tied up for helping Chan Zi escape were immediately released.

"Hanging these kids up and beating them! Do you have any humanity left?"

"Officer, these little thieves stole from my house, by law they should have their hands chopped off. As the Minister of Justice handling thief catchers, since you’ve intervened, we can show some face, but it still needs to be handled according to the law, with compensation for the Nangong family..."

"Compensate your mom’s head!"

"Hey, why are you hitting people!"

"I’m hitting you, you heartless bastard!"

"You’ve gone too far! Do you really think I’m afraid of you! Hit him!"

Okay, it seems Yang Yunzhao isn’t lying, indeed he has a hot temper, without any pretense, he swung his three-section staff and clashed with the Nangong private soldiers.

Of course, the Luofeng Yang family’s background—Peng Ju, the old parasite in the Lingxu knows it quite well—this family has been following Immortal Venerable to conquer the world for generations, an Immortal Soldier since the time of the first twenty-eight constellation stars.

Later, Immortal Palace established order in the world, suppressing the Ghost Gate sealed under Mount Luofu in Xun Country for generations. The centipede and wild boar seen in Huangfu Yi’s dream were probably comrades in arms. Also, because the seal guarded by their family is highly important, they have never been dragged into internal strife within Immortal Palace.

Although the Ghost Gate has not opened, even the Lingxu doesn’t know what exactly is sealed there, but such a long-standing Guard Army household, it was obviously another custom-made watchdog under the company’s command.

Being the Young General of the Yang family, Yang Yunzhao naturally wasn’t lacking in abilities, just still too young, not enough practice, without the muscles, his hard abilities appeared flawed in Chen Xuantian’s eyes, and could be wounded by a breath anytime. However, that doesn’t mean any market hooligan could last two moves against him.

Besides, these henchmen, aching to act as servants, eager to climb up Nangong’s butt, how could they dare really to find trouble and ruthlessly kill a government officer?

Thus, though the private soldiers were fighting noisily, nobody dared to draw swords or take out weapons seriously, at most they picked up folding stools or threw bricks. Lacking serious aggression and being caught by surprise from Yang Yunzhao’s initial move, they were disrupted and scattered, resulting in a chaotic and movie-like scuffle.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Xuantian slipped into the crowd, slipping mud pills into the mouths of the child laborers one by one, pulling and pushing them to channel some energy and urging them to run away.

Then he gleefully leaped into the beast yard’s warehouse, using the Sleeve Universe technique to scoop up some demon beast materials. When it could hold no more, he "huffed" out a breath filled with the fishy stench of Daoist energy, setting a fire of Li flame, igniting Nangong’s storage room.

Hmph, if he can’t eat it, then nobody eats.
