"Zhang County Magistrate, saving my life is a personal matter, but violating the laws of the Great Wu is a public matter. Do you want to let personal feelings interfere with public affairs?"

"This mysterious secret you mentioned..."

"The monster I met on my way to take office was a subordinate of the Jingzhou ghost god 'Fan Sheng'." Zhang Jingsheng interrupted the Linge County Master.

This made Linge County Master look even more unhappy, especially after hearing what Zhang Jingsheng said, his expression changed even more.

Compared to Zhang Jingsheng's new arrival, the Linge County Master has been in Linge County for more than ten years. He is naturally familiar with all the ghosts and gods with names in the wilderness of Jingzhou.

This Fan He was extremely ferocious and had attacked the county several times, causing heavy losses. However, the ordinary Lingmi was helpless and could only drive him away.

This spiritual secret also provoked Fan He?

What if this attracts the evil creature?

"You are so brave! How dare you not report such a thing?"

"Your Excellency, I wanted to report this, but I didn't have time to do so."

"You may not know that after the two young ladies eliminated the monster, the Fanhe ghost appeared."

"what?!"

The county magistrate exclaimed.

The ghost god Fan He is particularly vengeful. It would be fine if he was just a subordinate monster, but if he had a conflict with his master, he would definitely not let it go.

Lingmi's coming to Linge County brought disaster here.

As a spiritual master, he naturally had no fear of ghosts or gods. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could just run away. But the problem was, if the other party just walked away, what would happen to Linge County? Would Fan He vent his anger on him?

The Linge County Master looked at Zhang Jingsheng with an increasingly hostile look. He had originally thought that a sensible subordinate had arrived, but he had not expected this to cause trouble.

"Zhang County Magistrate, you..."

"After the ghost Fan He showed up, he was killed by Mr. Fang." Zhang Jingsheng said calmly.

"What did you say?"

The county magistrate's anger stopped instantly, and he asked a question to confirm whether he had heard it correctly.

"Fan He was killed by Mr. Fang. I dare not lie about this matter."

The County Magistrate of Linge fell silent, and after a moment he turned around. His face, which was imposing without being angry, was now filled with a warm smile. The County Magistrate faced the two women with such a smile.

"May I know the names of the two fairies?"

"Where is Mr. Fang now?"

"Oh, my subordinate, County Lieutenant Zhang, was too impulsive. I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Chapter 100: Resolving the Gap

The arrogance of the Linge County Lord was completely restrained, and his words and manners in dealing with people became more gentle and welcoming.

"Look at this... I just went home, and this is what happened."

"Jingsheng, please tell me what the misunderstanding is."

Zhang Jingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the kind words from his immediate superior.

Okay, is this the skill gained from twenty years of being an official?

It seems that I still have a lot to learn in the future.

Zhang Jingsheng did not dare to be negligent. It would be better to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so he talked about what happened in the restaurant before.

When he heard Zhang Jingsheng talking about Mr. Fang's background, he couldn't help but twitch his cheeks.

The Fang family was a prominent local family, after all, and he had heard about what had happened previously. The previous county magistrate had been responsible for the incident of the cuckoo usurping the magistrate's nest. Because Fang Kexue had accepted the tribute, and was indeed favored by the Taoist Xuanshen, the county magistrate naturally turned a blind eye.

But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen here.

The Linge County Master believed that even if Zhang Jingsheng had a hundred guts, he would never dare to deceive him on such a matter. In other words, the Fanhe Mountain God was truly slain by this Fang family member.

Regardless of his identity, the fact that Fan He had been wreaking havoc in Jingzhou for so long must have been a source of difficulty for Ling Mi. Being a demonic deity of the Earth, he was a top-tier Ling Mi deity and extremely difficult to kill. Ordinary Ling Mi simply didn't want to deal with such a troublesome creature, as the rewards wouldn't be great.

But the fact that he was able to kill Fan He also indirectly proved that this son of the Fang family was also an extremely powerful person.

The strength of a Spirit Secret is directly linked to the Dao lineage inheritance. The Fang family incident occurred only a few years ago, and yet a member of the Fang family has become a Spirit Secret, capable of killing Fan He. Natural talent is essential, and the Dao lineage behind him must be even more remarkable. Perhaps he is from the True Evil Dao lineage, with a True E True Master standing behind him?

This is the reason why the attitude of the Linge County Master has changed so drastically.

With this thought in mind, look at the two women here again.

As expected, the more the Linge County Venerable looked at him, the more extraordinary he became. The quality of a lineage's inheritance could be determined by observing the practitioners. A lineage of lower quality was extremely dangerous to cultivate, and would soon reveal inhuman characteristics, like a demon.

But although these two women's spiritual energy was vigorous and restrained, they were extremely stable. Even under the pressure he had just given them, their spiritual energy showed no signs of disturbance.

Don't mess with...

The Lord of Linge County immediately made up his mind.

Lingmi and others should not have been enemies, especially since these two women and the man from the Fang family were obviously from extraordinary backgrounds.

Then you must not provoke them.

"I wonder where Mr. Fang is now?"

After the Linge County Magistrate learned that Fang Suichu had returned to his hometown to seek revenge, he immediately decided to treat the matter with caution.

Fang Kexue...a spirit guide is nothing.

He usually treats Fang Kexue with courtesy, but that was also out of respect for the Taoist Xuanshen.

Now that the other party has provoked a spiritual secret, he can only die to appease Mr. Fang's anger. I hope that no innocent people will be involved and that the disaster will not come upon me.

"He went to the Tianchan Temple on New Year's Eve." Li Qingming said.

Since Zhang Jingsheng gave him so much face, the two of them naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Moreover, judging from Fang Suichu's intention, he plans to stay here for a while, so there is naturally no need to make the situation too awkward.

After thinking for a moment, Li Qingming continued, "That bitch brought up the name of Tianchan Temple, and part of the Fang family's property was also taken to Tianchan Temple by that bitch, so Suichu went there to argue."

Li Qingming had roughly guessed what might happen in Tianchan Temple.

But she was actually right.

The theory of boxing and kicking is also a theory.

Theoretically, it's not normal that it failed.

Upon hearing Li Qingming's words, Linge County Master frowned at first.

The trouble with this matter lies here.

It can be said that Fang Kexue deserved to die for causing this incident, because it would not be right for a spirit to be involved in the dispute between two spirit secrets.

But then the Linge County Master's brows relaxed again.

He had been dealing with the Xuanshen Taoist for a long time. Although he was a bit arrogant, he was also very good at judging the situation. When facing a fellow Lingmi Taoist, he would not become enemies just because of a concubine.

Thinking this way, as long as Taoist Xuanshen gives in a little and appeases Mr. Fang's anger, he can make up for the rest on his side.

As for County Magistrate Zhang, it can only be said that it is a pity.

When the time comes, the pension will be secretly doubled, and Zhang Jingsheng will be asked to write a note, and he will approve it.

When the Linge County Magistrate was thinking this, a shadow was cast in the sky, and a figure swooped down like an eagle, landing in the courtyard with incredible lightness.

Who else could the person who fell into the yard be but Fang Suichu?

"Is there someone here again?"

Fang Suichu looked at Zhang Jingsheng and the other man.

Zhang Jingsheng passed by directly and set his eyes on the Lord of Linge County.

An inspiration that is not completely the same as the inspiration of the strange way blooms from his body. The strange way of luck system is a practice method unique to the Taoist lineage of the Wu State.

Fang Suichu immediately understood who the visitor was.

When Fang Suichu looked at Linge County Magistrate, he felt that his gaze was as real as substance, as if it was going to peel his body apart.

The Lord of Linge County was shocked, but he no longer doubted what Zhang Jingsheng said. This person was indeed an extremely extraordinary person, and he was probably also like this among the spiritual secrets.

Linge County did not dare to be negligent and saluted Fang Suichu with a fist.

"Your Excellency, I am the Magistrate of Linge County. I am aware of what happened here, and I will deal with the matter seriously."

Hearing what Linge County Master said, Fang Suichu nodded with satisfaction.

This little brother is quite sensible, not bad.

He was not surprised by the attitude of the Linge County Lord.

To mortals, the Great Wu court was naturally a place of strict laws and immense majesty. However, from the perspective of cultivators, it was considered one of the most powerful Daoist lineages, a white glove supported by the "Academy." It governed ordinary people from below and balanced the interests of the cultivators of the various Daoist lineages from above.

"Over at Tianchan Temple, since you have returned, I believe you have already negotiated with Taoist Xuanshen."

"Tianchan Temple has been established in this area for a long time, and your hometown is also here. Although some bad people appeared in the Linge County Office, which caused some unpleasantness, we still have a bond of veneration after all."

"I will host the event and invite Taoist Xuanshen to join you. If we can resolve the rift, it will be a great achievement."

Linge County Master said cautiously.

"No need." Fang Suichu replied.

Upon hearing this, Linge County Master's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Taoist Xuanshen suddenly became arrogant and didn't want to lose face?

But then he heard Fang Suichu say, "It has been resolved."

"call..."

The Linge County Master immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew it, with the calmness of Taoist Xuanshen, he must have resolved the grudge as soon as he knew the whole story.

"That Taoist Xuanshen had bad intentions and wanted to harm me secretly, but I have already killed him."

"There's no need to resolve the divide."

"That's great... huh?" Linge County Master nodded, then seemed to realize something was wrong with his words and widened his eyes.

"what?!"

Chapter 101 Liquidation of Assets

Tianchan Temple boasts a 700-year history within Linge County, a tradition of uninterrupted spiritual cultivation. Its influence rivals that of the government, making it the preeminent local tyrant.

The Master, the only Spiritual Secret within the Dao lineage, was killed, which was an absolute devastating blow to this lineage. After all, only by possessing a Spiritual Secret could one be considered a Spiritual Secret Dao lineage, and only with a Spiritual Secret in charge could one maintain the Blood Scroll issued by the Wu Kingdom and enjoy a portion of the tax revenue.

The incident at Tianchan Temple was undoubtedly a huge earthquake for the entire upper echelons of Linge County.

In comparison, the death of a county lieutenant in the Linge County Government Office was just a trivial matter.

Inside the Fang Mansion, upon hearing Fang Suichu's words, Linge County Master was initially incredulous. But before he could ask any further questions, Fang Suichu simply told the County Master and Zhang Jingsheng to get out.

Linge County Master hurried back to the government office. He wanted to confirm the situation at Tianchan Temple. Naturally, there was a way to contact Taoist Xuanshen in the government office.

Compared to his immediate superior, Zhang Jingsheng was more lenient. He was new to the job, so if anything big happened, the county magistrate would take the lead.

At this moment, it is time to finalize what happened to the Fang family.

At this point, the overall situation has been decided. Regardless of whether the Taoist Xuanshen is dead or not, the family that originally occupied the magpie's nest is already dead, or rather, all of them are dead.

So, not long after Zhang Jingsheng left, an official from the government office came with an attachment of the Fang family's property documents.

“Not bad, not bad…”

After knowing that it was someone sent by Zhang Jingsheng, Fang Suichu nodded with satisfaction.

When the Jin family was dissolved, he had a fortune. He had used it up to this day and still hadn't spent it all. But money was something that anyone who wanted to accomplish great things would never have too little of.

Furthermore, taking back one's own property is also one of the things that must be done to eliminate the cause and effect of this life.

Now that the cause and effect of his previous life have been eliminated, Fang Suichu can also live well in this world with this body and identity.

"We have to celebrate today."
