Transmigrating into a book and receiving a system, cannon fodder rises to power by stepping on schem

With the support of many parties, Baoyuan Pavilion's business was booming. In just over a day, it sold out the amount it used to sell in a month.

Chen An planned to stay another day before leaving, and Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue both said they had no objections.

She put all the low-quality items into Baoyuan Pavilion's warehouse, filling the more than 100-square-meter space to the brim.

After Feng Shouyuan rented a warehouse of three or four hundred square meters, Chen An cleared out all the useless things.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Not bad, I'll ask you to help me sell anything else in the future."

Feng Shouyuan's eyes were full of admiration, while Chen An stood with his hands on his hips in front of a large number of treasures, looking very proud.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't properly thanked his savior yet, and his legs went weak, so he knelt down. "Don't say I helped you sell it; Baoyuan Pavilion is yours from now on."

The person behind him shrank back halfway. Chen An hadn't expected that even now, this old man Feng would kneel down to him again. He had done a good deed anonymously back then, so why was he afraid of this move if he hadn't helped him?

Since the old man was kneeling, she couldn't pretend not to see him, so she reached out to help Feng Shouyuan up.

With a forceful pull, he grabbed Feng Shouyuan's arm and lifted him up. His body was level with Chen Anping's, but his legs were still bent, maintaining a kneeling position.

Suspended in mid-air, the old man kept talking: "You saved my life, these should have been yours."

Chen An looked at the sky, then at the ground, and then at the old man. He was truly terrified of him: "Just don't kneel. Do as you say. I'll come here to collect the spirit stones when I have time."

After putting Feng Shouyuan down, Chen An turned around and slipped back to the inn.

Feng Shouyuan, who remained where he was, looked happy. He had always been grateful and thanked Chen An in person, and Chen An had even helped him find a warehouse. Although these things were nothing compared to his own life, he still felt more at ease.

From now on, I must help this little girl whenever she needs anything.

Back at the inn, Chen An lay on the bed, picked up Fu Gui with a disdainful look, and after receiving the reward for achieving the Great Success of Meridian Opening, waited quietly for the system to give her the promised five hundred pills.

Ten minutes have passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

Thirty minutes passed.

She waited until late at night, but the reward still hadn't arrived. Logically, once the task was completed, the system should have been more punctual than Chen An, and had never made her wait.

"Succulents, what's the reward?"

【Honey, the task isn't finished yet!】

Chen An suddenly stood up and went to find Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue.

The three rushed to Xingyuan Pavilion. Everything around them was normal. After concealing their presence, they hid in the basement.

Besides Feng Shouyuan and his grandson, there were three other helpers who were all fast asleep at this hour.

At this time of day, many shops in the city would still be lit up, but today they are all closed. I wonder if they have sensed something.

As soon as the patrolling guards passed by, Mu Jingtai sensed a very subtle aura, which was also accompanied by fire.

"Someone's going to burn down the shop." Mu Jingtai relayed the information directly to Chen An and Wu Siyue.

After silently thanking the system, Chen An and the three of them took action and went up to the roof.

A dozen or so men in black carried firewood and systematically piled it around the house. The men had a murky aura, the kind that only demonic cultivators possess.

Mu Jingtai narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, ready to fight, but Chen An stopped him as usual.

After the people below finished piling up the firewood, the leader, a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation, took out a tinderbox and threw it up, only to have his head covered by a cloud of water.

The water adhered to his head, constantly devouring the power he had gained through crooked means, but it didn't kill him.

The dozen or so demonic cultivators realized the source of the technique, and the moment they looked up, they were all knocked to the ground by Mu Jingtai in one move.

Even now, these people still wanted to escape. Mu Jingtai remained indifferent, quickly dealt with those people, and walked up to the unlucky guy from the beginning.

"Don't kill them, don't kill them, spare them."

Chen An took the sword from Mu Jingtai's hand and used his cultivation technique to pull the demonic cultivator toward the Pingnan City Lord's Mansion.

Upon receiving the report, Wei Danian felt extremely guilty about the night attack on Xingyuan Pavilion. Thinking that he might be suspected, he immediately went out to greet them.

"Why are you here?"

Chen An pushed the panting demonic cultivator forward and asked sternly, "Did you send him?"

Although Wei Danian wasn't a very good person, he was still a proper cultivator. Hearing this, he immediately got angry: "I am, after all, the city lord here. What evidence do you have that I am colluding with demonic cultivators?"

Chen An wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, but the city lord of Xingyuan City not only colluded with demonic cultivators, but was himself a demonic cultivator.

That's not all; they even posted missions within various sects, tricking sect disciples into going there to improve their abilities.

Wei Danian also happened to be a city lord. At the time of the incident, many shops were closed. In addition, her previous behavior was definitely not righteous, so it was not unreasonable to suspect her.

Chen An read Wei Danian's mind as soon as they met and naturally knew that she wasn't that kind of person, but Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue didn't think so, so he still had to ask her.

"Don't get so agitated, City Lord. What I mean is that Pingnan City has developed to this point thanks in no small part to you, so it's time to strengthen its security."

Wei Danian's expression softened slightly. "The demonic cultivators have become too rampant in the past two years. There were no patrols in the city at night before, but they were added recently. I didn't expect that even after adding them, this still happened."

Upon hearing this, Chen An knew something was wrong.

The key point in the book is that the demonic cultivators joined forces again and slaughtered most of the cultivators in the cultivation world. The most crucial moment is when the female protagonist used her charm to bewitch the leader of the demonic cultivators. After realizing his mistake, the leader helped Qingyue kill the demonic cultivators. Only the righteous path won.

Now that the female lead, Qingyue, has been kicked to the outer sect by me, I wonder if she can still charm that foolish alliance leader with her own charm. As a member of the cultivation world, I should also do something.

Coming to his senses, Chen An thanked Wei Danian: "We're not here to question you, don't overthink it. Something similar happened in Xingyuan City before, so you're mistaken. Remember to send more soldiers on patrol. This person might be connected to Wanbaozhai, please check it out. I'll be going now."

After pushing the demonic cultivator in front of Wei Danian, Chen An hurriedly left with Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue.

Once they were in a secluded spot, Mu Jingtai withdrew his hand: "Aren't you the smartest? How could you just believe that Wei Danian like that?"

Chen An glanced at Mu Jingtai and beckoned him to lower his head.

Mu Jingtai obediently did as instructed.

Chen An patted Mu Jingtai's shoulder earnestly, stared into his eyes, and said seriously, "You know I'm smarter than you, so just listen to me and don't think about anything else." Then he left.

Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue stood there, very annoyed by this shameless behavior. It was really disrespectful to the two of them. But Chen An seemed to be right, and listening to her was always the right thing to do.

For example, when someone came to Baoyuan Pavilion at night, who would have thought that someone would cause trouble?
