Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 1039 - 529: Visit (Part 2)

"Oh~ I thought it was something big~ Since it’s sister’s order, isn’t it just a matter of asking the constable to call~"

"Hey~ We can’t let outsiders look down on the rules of our mansion~~ Otherwise, these cheap servants will get too full of themselves and think the door of the Divine Monarch is easy to enter~~"

Chen Xuantian smiled as he watched them act.

The Nangong Family simply was indulging in power and authority. For such a trivial matter, they even made an effort to take him on a tour and have him watch the punishment being carried out.

Seeing the grim condition of the servants, still fawning and grinning sheepishly, the maids were also satisfied, feeling as if they had earned some dignity for their master, like victorious peacocks, raising their heads and chests, twisting their waists as they led him to the inner treasury. One unlocked the talisman with a press, the other retrieved the key to open the lock, while the guarding warrior and the gatekeeper collaboratively pushed the door open.

"These were all gifts from the master to the Divine Monarch, choose one."

The two women, one on each side, followed Chen Xuantian into the storeroom, eyeing him defensively as if guarding against a thief.

So Chen Xuantian, upon entering, spun around on the spot, smiled at them,

"Thank you, I’ll take this one."

The maids looked bewildered, "What did you take?"

"This one~"

Chen Xuantian then pulled out the Vajra Pestle from his sleeve and held it in his hand for them to see. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The leading maid even leaned in to get a better look, so Chen Xuantian casually struck her with it, "Bang!" and instantly cracked her head open, smashing her skull so that brain matter and eyes exploded out, rolling onto the Jade Plate.

"Ah...ah, ah..."

The storeroom maid’s eyes widened, her whole body trembled, unable to utter a sound or jump, just shivering like a sieve, taking two steps back, turning around, trying to escape weakly.

However, Chen Xuantian had already flicked his sleeve to take her head off, the neck sliced smoothly like a mirror surface, swapping it with a grub so swiftly that barely any blood sprayed, leaving only a faint blood mark on the neck like a red rope.

Then Chen Xuantian swung the Vajra Pestle to strike two more times, smashing the stewardess maid into pieces, hammering her so that her back split and bones flew apart, limbs broken and stuffed into the jar beside, pounded into a mass of bloody pulp sealing the opening, all while wiping the bloodstains off the Vajra Pestle and commanding,

"Send these to the Beast Cage."

"Yes~ Master~"

The ’storeroom maid’ supported her head to avoid accidentally knocking it off, kneeled on the ground to pay respect, then went out to instruct the warriors to move the goods.

And Chen Xuantian casually cast a Blinding Technique, transforming the Vajra Pestle into a Jade Ruyi, smiling as he left Tiantai’s residence.

His third visit was to Li Hu.

Li Hu wasn’t there.

Of course, he wouldn’t dare give Chen Xuantian the cold shoulder; he wasn’t really there. Because of Nangong Che paying respects to General Zhen Nan, Lady Nangong complained and took it out on him, so Li Hu was sent away last night.

You’ve been so loyal to the Young Master! So dedicated to making plans for him! Recruiting soldiers and gaining favor, is that right? Fine, then you’re in charge of welcoming the imperial envoy’s guard, now get out!

So Li Hu came back without even catching his breath and had to roll out again, but this time he was probably ordered with a knife to his back, so as soon as Chen Xuantian appeared, the remaining servants in the mansion without a word brought out eight large boxes of furs and beast bones.

"The General instructed that this year’s share, however much it is, is all for you to use."

Chen Xuantian nodded with satisfaction, giving him a letter,

"Very well, please convey to your General that our grudge is resolved. Please trouble yourself to send it to the Lu’s Trading House’s treasury, saying it’s a return of a favor to Master Lu."

The personal soldiers dared not ask more, loading these resources onto carts and sending them away.

Chen Xuantian sat in the Li Family for a while longer, drank a pot of tea, calculated that the time should be about right, then got up to return to the Nangong Family, where he was summoned by Lady Nangong upon entering the door.

"Where did you go today?"

Nangong Ou was not wearing a bikini this time, but had changed into formal, opulent Immortal Palace attire, weighing dozens of pounds, covering all her muscles meticulously, exposing only her meticulously maintained and managed facial features, at a glance indeed possessing a regal bearing of a courtly woman.

Chen Xuantian clasped his palms together in salute,

"Namo Gatling~ This humble monk went to visit Master Huang to discuss arithmetic methods. Then went to visit Master Tiantai’s residence to request a magic treasure, intending to use my Buddhist Secret Technique to calculate the master’s whereabouts, to alleviate the master’s worries. Later, also sat for a while at General Li’s mansion, to repay his recent protection."

Nangong Ou expressionlessly looked at the letter in her hand and asked,

"What relationship do you have with the Lu Family, what favor do you owe?"

Chen Xuantian smiled,

"Oh~ it’s nothing serious, when I first arrived in the Southern Border, I was unaccustomed to the water and soil, got an endemic disease, had stomach trouble, fortunately, Landlord Lu helped.

Buddha said saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, the favor of Landlord Lu should be valued at three and a half pagodas, and I naturally should repay it greatly."

Nangong Ou did not comment, raising her phoenix eyes to stare at him, staring for a while before asking,

"I can’t remember, please repeat, how did you save my undeserving son back then?"

Chen Xuantian laughed,

"This humble monk dares not take credit, that day I was passing by, suddenly saw two Great Demons attacking people. We cultivators should take it as our duty to act chivalrously, eliminate demons and rid of evils.

Therefore, naturally, I couldn’t shirk and helped, and thanks to General Li’s extraordinary bravery, we were able to turn danger into safety and save the Young General.

This humble monk only made a small contribution, not worthy of your praise."
