Chapter 128: Stewardship
Zhan Chen had to leave the cultivation room, came to the door, and opened the door, only to find that there were two people standing outside the door, one of whom he was very familiar with, it was Ma Shun, but he didn't recognize the man standing in front of Ma Shun.
I saw that the man, of medium height, was fat, with a fleshy face, bee-eyed nose, and a large purple mouth, which seemed to droop listlessly, and his eyes were full of disdain and arrogance.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "May I ask who Your Excellency is ......?"
"Hmph, are you Zhan Chen?" the sinknosed man asked.
"Not bad!"
"You're so daring!"
Zhan Chen heard that he would blame himself as soon as he came up, and there was a look of displeasure in his eyes.
At this time, I saw Ma Shun, who was standing behind the man, and while glaring at him, he said: "Zhan Chen, are you still not saluting? This is our steward--Lord Huang Youshu Huang!"
Only then did Zhan Chen suddenly realize, so he symbolically saluted Huang Youshu and said, "It turned out to be Lord Huang, please forgive me for being clumsy." β
"Hmph, you're crazy, you've been here for more than half a year, and you don't come to see me? And you apply for retreat as soon as you come, it's not enough, the deadline is up, and you won't come back to work, I have to come to invite you personally!"
Speaking of these, Zhan Chen felt a little unreasonable, since the day he was assigned to work in this medicine garden, he had never visited this chief, and this retreat was overdue, and it was indeed his fault.
So he had to lower his head and admit his mistake: "Lord Huang, I am obsessed with cultivation, but I have forgotten the time, this is indeed my fault, I hope you have a lot, forgive me once." β
"Forgive you? Then where is my prestige when everyone is like you? I will punish you, severely!"
Zhan Chen's heart suddenly burst and replied, "I don't know how Lord Huang wants to punish me?"
"It's very simple, you have to make up for the work you left behind, and you have to make up for it twice, from now on, the spiritual field you are responsible for will be changed from one to two, and you will be responsible for three years!"
"What!" Zhan Chen, in charge of doubling the spiritual field, this means that in the next three years, Zhan Chen will have to soak in the spiritual field all day long, and there will be no time to cultivate and rest at all, this Huang Youshu's heart is too ruthless!
"Hmph, this is just a small punishment, put the tricks on the bright spot in the future!" Huang Youshu snorted coldly and walked away.
Ma Shun didn't leave with him, but stayed, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhan Chen, as soon as Huang Youshu found me, he asked where you lived, he was killing chickens to show monkeys, and you were unfortunately shot." β
"This is a personal vendetta of the communiquΓ©! I'm afraid it's because when I first came, I didn't go to visit him and give him gifts, so I was targeted by him. Zhan Chen said angrily.
Ma Shun said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I had to bring him here. β
Zhan Chen smiled with relief and said, "Brother Ma Shun, it's understandable that everyone is on an errand. β
"Well, what I told you last time, have you thought about it?"
"You mean to fight for a stewardship?"
"Yes, in this way, you can be on an equal footing with Huang Youshu, and you don't need to be controlled by him. β
Zhan Chen sighed and thought to himself: "It seems that if you want to settle this matter, you have to beg that demon girl again, otherwise you will definitely be tortured to death by him if you work under Huang Youshu." β
After separating from Ma Shun, Zhan Chen went straight to Anjou.
After the ceremony, Zhan Chen got straight to the point and said: "Manager An, I want to be the steward in the medicine field, I don't know if I can do it." β
"Are you in charge?" Anjou looked at him in surprise, thinking that this Zhan Chen's ambition was not small, and when he first arrived, he was full of edges and corners.
"Yes. Zhan Chen looked her in the eye calmly, confirming that he was not joking.
"Give me a reason. Anru sighed, although Yin Meiru was kind to him, Zhan Chen's request was too much.
"Manager An, I also have a hard time, my steward Huang Youshu can't get along with me, so I have to fight for this steward position. Huang Youshu stumbled on him, but gave Zhan Chen a good reason.
Anru glanced at him, but said, "Needless to say, I'll tell Huang Youshu later, tell him not to be difficult for you, it's really not good, you can work under other stewards." β
Anru was obviously unwilling to let Zhan Chen go, but Zhan Chen gritted his teeth but thought that since I am here this time, I must be in charge, so he said to Anjou again: "I want to ask to see the Holy Maiden, and I hope that Manager An can show me something!"
After saying that, he simply bowed down in front of Anjou and did not get up.
Anru hurriedly said: "Zhan Chen, what are you doing here, okay, I'll take you there!"
Because Yin Meiru had greeted her before and asked her to make it as convenient as possible for Zhan Chen, Anru became so easy to speak, but Zhan Chen's qualifications and cultivation were still shallow, so she didn't dare to be arbitrary in the matter of appointing stewards.
So the two of them entered the holy woman's dormitory one after the other.
It just so happened that Yin Meiru was in a panic, and when she saw Zhan Chen asking to see her, she was overjoyed, and thought: "This guy took the initiative to ask to see me as soon as he got out of the customs, it was really the sun that came out of the west, and listen to what he had to say." β
So he summoned Zhan Chen to come in, and after the three of them finished saluting. Yin Meiru deliberately put on a stinky face and asked, "Zhan Chen, what is the matter with you coming to me today? I'm very busy." β
Zhan Chen replied, "Holy Maiden, I applied to Chief Manager An to be a Lingtian steward. β
"Lingtian steward?" Yin Meiru was stunned, she was still very unfamiliar with this position when she had always opened her mouth and stretched out her hand.
At this time, Anru had to step forward to explain to her, and finally said: "Holy Maiden, Zhan Chen has just arrived, and his cultivation is insufficient, so let him be the steward at this time, and I am worried that he will not be able to convince the public. β
Yin Meiru glanced at Zhan Chen, saw him looking at herself eagerly, and couldn't help but recall the method of "wanting to capture and indulge" that Yingfeng once said to her, so she subconsciously coughed and said: "I thought that this Lingtian steward was a big official position, and it was only 20 acres of Lingtian, so you will give it to him." β
"Yes, Your Highness!" Anjou had to take the order.
Zhan Chen's face couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy, and he thought in his heart: "It seems that what Ma Shun said is true, I don't know why, she actually opened the back door to me, I have to make good use of her shade and gain a firm foothold in the Holy Maiden Peak." β
At this time, Anru had to remind Zhan Chen, who was still immersed in excitement and couldn't extricate himself: "Zhan Chen, don't thank you yet." β
Only then did Zhan Chen react, knelt down and kowtowed from the bottom of his heart, and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Saintess's Longen!"
Looking at Zhan Chen with a look of ecstasy, Yin Meiru couldn't help but smile, thinking: "That's right, that's it, Zhan Chen, come and fall in love with me, that's interesting!"
After exiting the palace, Anru turned to Zhan Chen and said, "Zhan Chen, you come with me and go through the formalities." β
"Yes! Zhan Chen followed Anjou with curiosity.
They did not go back to the Lingtian area, but walked through a few paths to a corner of the Holy Maiden Palace, where a five-story building was built, and on the lintel on the first floor was written three large characters "Lingtian Yuan".
At this time, Anru stopped, and said to Zhan Chen: "This is where you will work and live in the future, and it will be your new home." β
"You mean, I can live in the Holy Maiden Palace in the future?" asked Zhan Chen in surprise.
"Yes, after becoming a steward, your status is naturally different, but I want to remind you that your cultivation and qualifications are still shallow, so you should observe more, learn more, and don't show your edge. β
"The little one understands. β
"Okay, you go up with me, and we'll go to your future boss. β
The two of them went directly to the hall on the top floor, and saw three people sitting inside, as if they were discussing something.
The man in the center of the throne was full of beard, big belly, and looked like he was on top. But as soon as he saw Anjou walk in, he immediately rolled down from his seat, smiled all over his face, and greeted him, "Mr. An, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"
Anru glanced at him and said, "Liu Manfu, I brought your subordinates down today, Zhan Chen, you come over." β
Zhan Chen took a step forward and came to Liu Manfu, and An Ru introduced: "Zhan Chen, this is your boss, Lord Liu Manfu, the director of the elixir field. β
"Liu Manfu, this is the new steward Zhan Chen. β
Liu Manfu looked Zhan Chen up and down with a puzzled face, but asked, "Manager An, how does this little brother arrange? Our Lingtian stewards are all full!"
"I heard that your brother-in-law Huang Youshu manages more than 50 acres of spiritual land, isn't it good to share a little of his burden with Zhan Chen?"
"Thisβ" Liu Manfu showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Hmph, Liu Manfu, this is the steward appointed by the Holy Maiden herself, you dare to disobey the Holy Maiden's orders?"
"Little don't dare!" Liu Manfu shuddered, and the fat on his belly trembled exaggeratedly.
"That's the best, you go and arrange it, anyway, I'll follow this matter. β
"Yes!" replied Liu Manfu reluctantly.
On the other hand, Zhan Chen, but his heart began to be alert: "Wait, just now Anru said that Huang Youshu is Liu Manfu's brother-in-law, but Anru asked Liu Manfu to give me his brother-in-law's land, and I had a holiday with that Huang Youshu before, it seems that I have to be careful in the future." β
"Liu Manfu, you help Zhan Chen arrange a place to live here. I'll leave first. Anjou left the words, turned and left.
Seeing An Ru leave, Liu Manfu turned his head, stared at Zhan Chen suspiciously, and asked, "Your name is Zhan Chen?"
"Yes, Director. β
"If I'm not mistaken, you turned out to be just a little medicine slave in the spiritual field. β
"Yes, Lord Director, I was given this opportunity because of the love of the Holy Maiden. β
Liu Manfu stared at him but thought: "This kid was originally just a medicine slave, and he only had a beginner level of martial arts cultivation, so he didn't have any background when he thought about it. β
So he finally changed his face and sneered: "Hmph, you are so capable! I want to be in charge, but I didn't come to visit me first, but I crossed the level to ask for instructions, and I didn't even understand the etiquette?"
Zhan Chen was silent, but he thought in his heart: "Huang Youshu is your brother-in-law, you and that guy are a nest of snakes and rats, if I come to you directly, I will only be bored." β
"Take this token! Get out of here, so that I don't have to be upset to see your face again!" Liu Manfu took out a token from his Qiankun bag and threw it on him.
Zhan Chen caught the token, but he felt a little stinging, and a wave of anger came to his heart, but he still forced himself down and asked, "Director Liu, where does the Lingtian I am responsible for still live?"
"Hmph, residence, you can just pick a spare room on the third floor, as for the field, you and Huang Youshu will discuss it yourself!"
Zhan Chen held the token tightly in his hand and silently exited the meeting hall. Next, he wants to find Huang Youshu and get back his own spiritual field!
