Chapter 43: Rogue Cultivator’s Invasion
Translator: 549690339
The matter of Feng City changing its name to Chen City was settled in less than a day.
As for who would be appointed as the county magistrate, the Chen family had not decided yet, so they could only let the county magistrate temporarily take over the position.
Although the county magistrate also found it troublesome, it was someone else’s territory after all. The county magistrate could only bitterly agree and pray that someone would replace him soon.
Of course, Yang Chen wasn’t trying to make things difficult for the county magistrate. It was just that this position was too important, and he had to go through many rounds of selection.
In the Chen family’s meeting hall, Chen Yang and Chen Xuan were still discussing the matter of the county magistrate.
“Grand Elder, I think we should send my big brother over. Not only is my big brother of a suitable age, but his cultivation is also not weak.”Yang Chen advised.
Chen Yang’s eldest brother was the son of the Great Elder, Chen Daodao. He was now thirty years old and his cultivation had already reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.
This aptitude was already very good in a ninth-rank aristocratic family.
However, Chen Xuan did not agree with this.” No, I know my own son. He’s not cut out for this.”
“Family Head, although Chen Dao’s talent is good, his strategy is limited. Isn’t letting him become the county magistrate pushing him into the fire pit?”
Seeing that the Great Elder was so insistent, Chen Yang felt a little helpless.” In that case, who do you think should be the county magistrate?”
Chen Xuan thought seriously for a moment, then said,”Patriarch, I think it’s more suitable for Second Elder’s son, Chen Shan, to be the county magistrate.” “As a result, Chen Shan has handled many matters in the family and has sufficient management experience.”
“Secondly, Chen Shan is more tactful in his dealings with the world, and is more suitable for the position of county magistrate. After becoming a county magistrate, you won’t be dealing with our family anymore.”
“Besides, Chen Shan’s talent is excellent. He’s only 27 years old now, but he’s already at the seventh level of Qi Refinement. He’s the most suitable person to send.”
After hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Chen Yang pondered for a moment and then said,”In that case, let Second Brother and Second Elder come over.”
Not long after, Chen Meng and Chen Shan both arrived at the meeting hall.
“Greetings, Patriarch.”
“Second Elder, Second Brother, please take a seat.”
After the two of them sat down, Yang Chen continued,””! called the two of you here because I have something to discuss with the two of you.”
Chen Meng and Chen Shan looked at each other and said in unison,”As you wish, Patriarch.”
“It’s like this. I plan to send Second Brother to be the county magistrate. What do you think?”Yang Chen went straight to the point.
“This…”
Chen Yang’s sudden mention stunned Chen Meng and Chen Shan.
After a while, Chen Meng finally reacted.” Master, you can’t. What did Chen
Shan do to deserve such an important position?”
Here it comes again…
After complaining to himself, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan.” First Elder, repeat what you said to me just now to Second Elder.”
“Yes.”
Immediately, Chen Xuan explained the reason to Chen Meng again.
After hearing Chen Xuan’s explanation, Chen Meng took a deep breath and slowly said,”In that case, let Chen Shan go.”
Chen Shan patted his chest and said,”Family Head, don’t worry. I will definitely not let down the family’s expectations and live up to the family head’s high hopes!’”‘
“In that case, the two of you can leave. Second Brother, accompany Second Sister-in-law and Second Elder well. You should go and take up your post tomorrow.”
“Yes, sir!”
After Chen Shan came out of the meeting hall, he had something to say in his heart. When there was no one around, he took two steps forward and followed Chen Meng.”
“What do you mean? You don’t need to know this. You just need to remember that you can’t forget the Chen family and betray the family head. That’s all.” When Chen Shan heard this, he nodded his head in a half-understood manner. Chen Meng sighed at the side.” Our family head isn’t as kind as he looks. Of course, if we don’t have second thoughts, the family head won’t treat us badly.” “In short, this is an opportunity. Shan ‘er, seize him. One day, you might be able to stand at the peak of Da Qian with the family head.”
“I understand.”
In the meeting hall, after settling the matter with the county magistrate, there was still a lot of things waiting for Yang Chen to deal with.
Just as Chen Yang and Chen Xuan were discussing how to deal with a troublesome matter, the guard suddenly ran in.
“Patriarch, Grand Elder, the county magistrate has sent a message. If there are any rogue cultivators causing trouble in Chen City, please deal with them as soon as possible.”
“Rogue cultivators causing trouble?” Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan in puzzlement.” This rogue cultivator still has the guts to cause trouble in Chen City? Great Elder, do you know what happened?”
Chen Xuan shook his head.” I don’t know either, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. Just send someone to handle it.””
“No, I don’t think it’s that simple.”
Yang Chen thought for a moment and then said,” How about this? I’ll take my eighth sister, ninth sister, and tenth brother to deal with it. If there’s nothing else, just treat it as training.””
“If there’s anything, I can know in advance.”
“That’s good too. With the patriarch taking action, we can know in advance if there are any schemes.”Chen Xuan did not have any objections.
Immediately, after dealing with the urgent matters, Chen Yang brought the Eighth Brother Chen Yu, the Ninth Brother Chen Ru, and the Tenth Brother Chen Xiao to the place where the rogue cultivators were causing trouble.
Chen City, in a shop.
Chen Yu took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears from the eight-year-old child’s face. Then, she looked at the owner of the shop.
“What exactly happened?”
The merchant clutched his injured arm and said,””Eighth Miss, about a day ago, five freelance martial artists broke into my house and robbed the spirit stones I had hidden.”
“This lowly one’s strength is weak. Even if I wanted to resist, I couldn’t stop them.”
“However, this group of rogue cultivators seemed to be very anxious. After snatching the spirit stones, they quickly escaped. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to keep my life.”
After listening to the merchant, Chen Yu came to Chen Ru and Chen Xiao’s side.” What do you think?”
“Thoughts? My opinion is to kill these bastards!”Chen Xiao had a face full of anger.
Such a thing actually happened in the Chen family’s territory. Wasn’t this a slap to the Chen family’s face?
If it was just slapping the Chen family’s face, it would be fine. However, the future pride of the Chen family, Chen Xiao, the true dragon of the Chen family, was still around. How dare you do this? Aren’t you looking down on me?
After imagining a big show, Chen Xiao went to the shop owner.” Tell me, where are those bastards?”
The merchant was stunned for a moment before stammering,”This… I’m not sure about that. According to the neighbors, this group of freelance martial artists also robbed several merchants and then ran north.”
“North?”
Chen Xiao immediately came to Chen Ru and Chen Yu’s side.” We will search north and use the blood of these bastards to avenge the Chen Family!” “Alright, let’s go!”
Chen Yang, who was following behind, slapped his forehead when he saw this.
Damn it, why did he have to show them those manuscripts? Now, they were all more chuunibyou than the other.
This was especially true for Chen Xiao. He said every day that he was the True Dragon of the Chen family and that he would become an ultimate existence in the future..
