"Su Ji, go back!"

In the quaint hall of the mountain gate, an old man shook his head lightly at Su Ji at this time and said.

"Master!" Su Ji looked at the old man anxiously at this time, only to see the old man shake his head gently.

"Su Ji, you should understand that the master sect will not vigorously support you, first, Shanshui County is not indispensable to the Ancient Sword Sect, not to mention, now the Bodhi Temple has also intervened!"

"Secondly, your potential is not enough to make the master treat him differently, in the past few years, you have lost yourself in the prosperity of the Shuijun Palace, think back to yourself, how long have you not seriously cultivated the swordsmanship of the Ancient Sword Sect, how many times have you entered the advanced building of the Ancient Sword Sect over the years?"

The advanced building is the library of the ancient sword sect, and different levels of cultivation can enter different pavilions, so as to enter the swordsmanship and mental method that suits you.

And Su Ji's cultivation, from the time he came down the mountain to the present, although he has been improving, he still has not reached the advanced standard!

"Master, but the Shuijun Palace" Su Ji still wanted to defend himself, but saw his master shake his head again.

"Idiot, don't forget, in the Shuijun Wangfu, there is also a Shuijun King, if he doesn't nod, everything you do is useless! If one day, you have the cultivation of Gu Fengyun, then you will naturally get the strong support of the sect! After Su Ji's master finished speaking, he turned around and left.

And Su Ji stood there with a dejected face!

The feeling of falling from heaven to hell is so fast!

A few days ago, when he came to the Ancient Sword Sect, he was still full of ambition, holding the golden spirit weapon given by his master, and returning to the palace of Shanshui County with great ambition with the elders of the master who had cultivated to a high level.

And now, after returning to the sect again, he learned that he no longer had any support from the sect.

The successive failures made the sect give up his plan to devour Shanshui County, which also meant that they gave up the cultivation of Su Ji.

The expansion of secular strength can increase their strength, but it will not bring about fundamental changes, so the icing on the cake, some decision-makers of the Ancient Sword Sect are willing to do it, because a few low-end martial artists will not affect the strength of the Ancient Sword Sect, even if it is Elder Li who has sent out the Human Extreme Realm, it is mostly a deterrent component.

However, when this collision turned into a large-scale display of the sect's strength, the Ancient Sword Sect would consider the gains and losses involved, especially when it involved a confrontation with another force, the Bodhi Temple.

The empty hall was empty at the moment, except for Su Ji!

Suddenly, a gust of wind emanated from Su Ji's body, and the curtains in the hall were whirring.

In the solemn and sacred hall, Su Ji's face looked a little hideous and terrifying at this moment!

"Zhang Mu, you are a good thing for me, I am jealous, and I will never die with you!" Su Ji said with a hideous face at this time.

But then, the aura that erupted around Su Ji suddenly dispersed, and the hideousness on the color behind him dissipated, regaining a calm expression.

"Master, from today onwards, I will retreat and practice penance, and I will never leave the gate until I enter the consummation!" Su Ji is not the kind of person who is carried away by anger, he knows that without the support of the sect, he will never have a good end with Zhang Mu, on the contrary, he may fail again and again, and finally lose his prestige.

Rather than this, it is better for him to retreat and accumulate strength, Shizun is right, if he is like Gu Fengyun, with eye-catching strength, how can the master not put pressure on him?

As for Zhang Mu, let him play first, the situation in the Shuijun Mansion is not as simple as just him.

Speaking of internal and external troubles, it is all easy, now he wants to see, in the face of the current situation of the Shuijun Palace, how can Zhang Mu do it?

The news of Su Ji's retreat came back so suddenly, which caught Zhang Mu off guard!

Speaking of which, when he heard Su Ji's retreat, Zhang Mu felt a little confused, shouldn't the script be written like this, according to reason, shouldn't the villain continue to lure out the forces behind him, and then conflict with himself over and over again, and finally be tortured to death?

How could it be so easy to back down?

But in any case, Su Ji seemed to have completely given up the power of the Shuijun Palace, and even the elders who had reached an agreement with Su Ji at the beginning also turned extremely ugly at this time, and in their own courtyards, they scolded Su Ji I don't know how many times.

On the contrary, Zhang Mu's prestige has risen unprecedentedly high again in the palace, although Su Ji is known as a retreat, but in private, everyone thinks that it was Mr. Zhang who forced Mr. Su away!

However, some of Zhang Mu's measures are good for the palace personnel below, and even the personnel in his own supermarket and trade market give priority to taking care of the family members in the palace.

Although this kind of small favor is not worth mentioning in Zhang Mu's opinion, for those people, these are an additional income, and counting the other benefits that Zhang Mu has created for them, except for Su Ji's ironcore, no one will speak ill of Zhang Mu there.

Zhang Mu didn't say anything about Su Ji's retreat, and even the entire Shuijun Mansion didn't say anything, on the contrary, everyone chose to remain silent!

Zhang Mu didn't pay too much attention to it, and now what made him curious was another thing, something that made him a little puzzled.

That's the county keeper Fumihiko of Shanshui County!

Zhang Mu has never had any idea about the government affairs of Shanshui County, in Zhang Mu's opinion, it is a thankless task, Zhang Mu does not have the time and energy to manage the county affairs of the entire Shanshui County. He just wanted to find a few channels for himself to make money, and then create a boost for his cultivation.

And in his opinion, Wen Yan can be regarded as a Ming official, not the kind of person who is greedy for ink, and Zhang Mu does not want to completely replace him.

Therefore, Zhang Mu plans to talk to Wen Yan, as long as Wen Yan opens the door to some of his economic policies and does not cause any conflicts, Zhang Mu will also not have the slightest image of Wen Yan's authority.

However, what puzzled Zhang Mu was that his visit post was delivered to the Shanshui County Guard Mansion three times in a row, but he was closed every time, and every time the concierge of the County Guard's Mansion deduced that the county guard was not there, so that Zhang Mu's silver-clothed guard returned in vain.

If it was once, Zhang Mu might not care, twice, Zhang Mu can also understand, but three times in a row, it is the same problem, this is not a coincidence, but a silent attitude.

But Zhang Mu couldn't figure it out, according to the information records of the palace, since this Wen Yan took office, he has always maintained a cooperative but respectful attitude with the palace, but at least, it won't be like this?

Is it because of his status as the head of the inner government?

And at the same time that Zhang Mu was puzzled, in the Shanshui County Guard's Mansion, Wen Yan looked at the information of Zhang Mu found by his subordinates, and he was also entangled and helpless!
