Three days later, Lin Yan waited for Shen Ruyun in the office.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lin Yan went straight to the topic, "I heard from Minister Mu Qing that the Shen family is willing to contribute to the alliance, which is commendable. I have thought about it. When I receive the things, the Arbitration Court will issue an announcement to publicize it." The Shen family’s righteous deeds let everyone know the Shen family’s selfless dedication.”
"Thank you so much." Shen Ruyun turned around and said, "I came to you specifically with a grudge."
"Say it." Lin Yan said simply. She also heard what Shen Ruyun wanted to do after spending so much money.
The rectification hasn't started yet, so you've already noticed it, right? Is it because I have a keen sense of smell or maybe someone let the wind slip.
Shen Ruyun knew that Lin Yan's time was precious, and it was very rare to find time to meet him. She kept her story short and said directly: "You personally inspected the treasure shops in Nanhai Port City, and the Shen family recognized the punishment and accepted it wholeheartedly. This is what the Shen family has been doing for a year. Please take a look at the records."
Lin Yan took it and read it at a glance. He was secretly surprised and kept a calm expression on his face, "How can Mr. Shen really be willing to hand over a huge amount of wealth like this?"
Shen Ruyun said decisively: "This is the sincerity of the Shen family. I originally planned to transport these treasures to Tianduan Mountain and donate the money earned to the alliance."
"It is really a great blessing for the alliance that Mr. Shen said this. If everyone had Mr. Shen's awareness, the alliance would have nothing to worry about."
"That's why I came to you. The Shen family already has the foundation to go to the sea to dig for treasures and is willing to be driven by the alliance."
Lin Yan looked at Shen Ruyun with a smile. He was a smart man who made decisions decisively and straightforwardly.
After thinking about it, she felt that Shen Ruyun's proposal was good, and someone had to do it. The Shen family does have a foundation and can quickly transport treasures to Tianduan Mountain in exchange for resources.
She said: "That's as Mr. Shen wishes. But there is one thing. Mr. Shen should take a warning about the treasure shop."
"It will definitely happen. As long as I'm here, it will never happen again." Shen Ruyun breathed a sigh of relief and promised again and again.
Once the matter is settled, the Shen family is lucky to be able to take the lead.
What Shen Ruyun is most worried about is that the Shen family has left a bad impression on Lin Yan, and it will be too difficult to change in the future.
She acted decisively and delivered the money and things she promised to donate to the national treasury in one day.
After Lin Yan arranged the affairs of the Shen family, she left it alone. She still had many things to deal with.
Lan Yue secretly came back and was injured.
Lin Yan carefully checked her body to make sure it was not serious, and then said, "What's going on? Did you go to the Xingyao Tribe?"
Lan Yue nodded, "I went to test Jin Xing, and he really hid his strength. The matter of the Xingyao Tribe is not easy to solve. I will come back to discuss it with you."
"You fought against Jin Xing, are you sure he is also a mysterious person?"
"There are some similarities but also differences." Lan Yue carefully recalled the feeling when the two of them fought. "His power is not like a pure physical attack, but mixed with an unseen energy. I tried it with my mental power, but was blocked. .”
Lin Yan looked solemn, "In this case, it is another strange force, and we know nothing about it."
Lan Yue nodded, "The source of his power is unpredictable, so you have to be careful in the future. If you want to deal with the Xingyao Tribe, you must first deal with Jin Xing himself."
"I understand. There are a lot of things going on right now, so take it easy for a while. You take good care of yourself, and we will go to see Venus together some other day. I am very curious about what is different about him."
Lan Yue nodded, "Just in case, we still need to be on defense in the Qushui Tribe to prevent people from the Xingyao Tribe from rushing over. This test may have alerted Jin Xing, and I'm afraid he will follow suit."
"Qushui City has been reorganized. I will arrange for people to go there."
Lan Yue felt relieved and went home to recuperate. Since becoming an A-level profound practitioner, she has never met an opponent of comparable strength. But she returned from Venus, which gave her a sense of crisis.
As soon as Lan Yue left, Huang Ying and Shui Sheng came to find her.
Huang Ying: "Where are the people?"
"I'm back. The injury is not serious, don't worry too much." Lin Yan said directly. Seeing their anxious looks, he rushed over as soon as he heard that Lan Yue was injured and returned.
Shuisheng: "How did you get injured? Is it really not serious?"
Lan Yue is recognized as the strongest person in the alliance. There are very few people who can hurt her. How can she be reassured when she returns suddenly injured.
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows: "I checked it with my own eyes, how could it be false? Lan Yue didn't hurt any vital parts, it was all superficial injuries. As for how it was injured, what do you think?"
The two of them immediately understood that Lan Yue was going to the Xingyao Tribe, and there was only one person there who could hurt Lan Yue.
"Jin Xing is so powerful?" Huang Ying was a little surprised, "Lan Yue is no match for him. Is he a more powerful profound practitioner? Is he A-level or S-level?"
Lin Yan shook his head: "None of them. Lan Yue tried it out and found that Venus's cultivation is different from ours. It is a strange power. I don't know what it is. After Lan Yue recovers from her injury, we will go to explore Venus's background together. .”
Shui Sheng: "A new training system? What will it be? Could it be the divine envoy that Shen Tianlin said?"
Lin Yan nodded, "It's possible."
Huang Ying: "Didn't Shen Tianlin think that we are the envoys of God?"
"Shen Tianlin has never seen the divine envoy, everything is just his guess. We all know that the mysterious person cultivates spiritual power, but Venus does not. Moreover, we have never come into contact with the so-called divine envoy, and we have no idea about the power of the divine envoy's cultivation. Which kind?"
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he paused and continued: "There is also a powerful person in Qicheng. Shen Tianlin guesses that he is a divine messenger. Any powerful person who has similar cognition to him, Shen Tianlin thinks that he is a divine messenger. His words cannot be trusted. That said Come on, maybe the people in Qicheng are practicing differently from us, Xu Hui will go and test it out personally, and we will know when his news comes back."
Huang Ying: "I haven't seen Xu Hui for several years. What level of profound practitioner is he now?"
"It should be G-level. I asked Shi Zhi when I went to Pingcheng. It has been more than a year, and it is unknown whether he has made a breakthrough." Lin Yan said and suddenly looked at the two of them, "What about you, have you made a breakthrough?"
Huang Ying shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It is a hurdle to go from G level to A level. It is too difficult to get over it."
Shui Sheng also shook his head, "I have always practiced well and have no special talent. It has been less than a year since I got the Purple and Gold Medal. If I am lucky, it will take several years to break through."
When he first started practicing, he was older and had mediocre talent. He had already put in a lot of effort to become a G-level profound practitioner.
Among them, Lan Yue and Lin Yan were always far ahead, followed by Shi Zhi and Bai Chen, followed by Ye Cong, Huang Ying and Hua Min, Hong Ling and Shui Sheng were lagging behind, and Lin Yun and Mao Mu were completely at the bottom. I haven't been able to break through to C level yet.
Lin Yan comforted him: "Don't be impatient. It took me several years to go from G level to A level. As long as you persist, success will come sooner or later."
Seeing the sad looks on the two people's faces, Lin Yan changed the subject and said: "Lan Yue's test of Venus has already alarmed the Xingyao tribe. With Venus' style, we will definitely not leave the alliance alone. We must be prepared. Qushui City, as a star, How do you think we should arrange the line of defense between the Yao Tribe and the Alliance to be more confident?"
The three discussed for more than an hour and finalized the plan.
The next day, Lin Yan went to Heitu and asked him to mobilize the army to Qushui City.
Kurotsuchi had no objections to the plan signed by the three of them and implemented it immediately.
He knew very well that his brains were not as good as Lin Yan's. Ever since Lin Yan became the chairman, he had made up his mind and just obeyed.
The alliance can be what it is today. Kurotsuchi has been serving as the military minister and arbiter. He has seen the alliance step by step until now. He knows that he is old and the future is in the hands of the new generation. Therefore, he must use his last remaining energy to let the military fully cooperate to help the alliance get better and better.
Lin Yan naturally felt this. Kurotsuchi's behavior has always been this way, sticking to his heart and never exceeding his authority. This is also the most reassuring.
The military department manages the armed forces of the alliance except Xuanhui. It is the strongest backing of the alliance and determines whether the alliance can run smoothly.
Over the years, Black Earth has been doing a good job, abiding by its responsibilities, and continuously providing strength to the alliance.
What was rare was that all five arbitrators were in Sun City. Lin Yan immediately decided to hold a small meeting among the five of them.
"There are not many opportunities for the five of us to sit together like this. It is rare that we are all in Sun City to discuss the current situation and the way forward."
As the chairman, it is Lin Yan's responsibility to organize such a meeting. The five of them are the core of the Arbitration Court. According to the requirements, the five of them must meet at least once a year to jointly decide the development direction of the alliance.
Everyone has been very busy these past few years, and it is difficult to get together.
While the league is operating as usual, there are always changes and adjustments need to be made from time to time.
Kurotsuchi was the first to say: "You just decide, I'm only responsible for executing it."
Lin Yan disagreed, "You are the arbiter, how can you stand by and watch. Advising and steering the alliance is our most important responsibility."
Shui Sheng smiled and said, "Lin Yan is right. Heitu, please stop being humble. We all have less qualifications than you, but you are the most stable and you will give us a hand when necessary."
Huang Ying: "That's right, Kurotsuchi, you have always been the leader of the alliance. You have worked hard over the years and have made great achievements. Without you, we will be in big trouble if we are out of line."
Kurotsuchi waved his hands repeatedly, "You won't, absolutely won't. What I say is true. You guys have been smart since you were young. You have experienced a lot over the years and have been trained for a long time. To be honest, I am getting older. , I couldn’t be more reassured about you. Especially with Lin Yan taking the lead, you will cooperate more tacitly, and the alliance will have you, so you don’t have to worry."
Lan Yue looked at Kurotsuchi seriously, "Is there something wrong with your health?"
Several people were stunned and stared at Kurotsuchi.
When Lin Yan was born, Heitu was the tribe's number one warrior and was very good at hunting. He was already twenty-five or six years old at that time, and now more than twenty years later, he is indeed old.
Over the years, he has fought for the alliance several times and suffered numerous injuries. He is a hero in the hearts of countless people. It seemed that as long as he was around, everyone felt at ease.
However, time is the cruelest thing, and heroes will eventually reach their twilight years.
Moreover, Kurotsuchi suffered hardships when he was young and his health is not good. It is God's mercy that he has been able to support him for so many years.
Kurotsuchi subconsciously wanted to retort, but when he saw a few pairs of concerned eyes, he swallowed his words again.
After a long while, he said: "Lan Yue's sharp eyes can see through it at a glance. I won't hide it from you. In the past two years, my body has not been as good as before, and I have been feeling more and more tired recently. I have checked with a doctor, and they are all old injuries. , The result of accumulation over time. I took a lot of supplements, but it didn’t help. I feel relieved to see you all growing up."
For a moment, the atmosphere was stagnant.
Huang Ying: "Let Lan Yue and Lin Yan check you out. They are both A-level mystics and they will definitely be able to find the root cause of the disease."
After speaking, she looked at the two of them. Huang Ying's heart skipped a beat. They had already checked?
Lin Yan not only checked it himself, but also asked Pang Bao to take action, but the result was the same.
Kurotsuchi's body is indeed deteriorating and needs to be taken good care of. He seemed normal, but once he fell, he would most likely never get up again.
They are all smart people. Kurotsuchi said nonchalantly: "Don't feel sorry for me. The day will come sooner or later. I didn't fall ill immediately."
Lin Yan: "You need to take a good rest. Don't worry about being tired. Don't hold on. From now on, Lan Yue and I will share more of your work. You can rest peacefully."
Kurotsuchi smiled and said, "Okay, I've wanted to do this for a long time. It's settled. I'll leave the military affairs to Lan Yue and you. I'm relieved."
"Relinquishing power so readily?" Lin Yan joked, "You hold military power and say what you say, are you really willing to let it go suddenly?"
"Of course I'm willing to give it up." Kurotsuchi looked at Lan Yue with a smile, "You all know that the most precious thing in the military is Lan Yue. Now that she is back, how many people expect her to take over the military. I believe Lan Yue can do it. To do better, lead alliance soldiers to protect our country and benefit more people."
Kurotsuchi was speaking from his heart, Lan Yue had always been his most promising successor. Her strength is obvious to all and she is worthy of her reputation. No one in the military is more qualified than her.
Shui Sheng smiled and said: "We all know that Lan Yue is the military's great treasure. You have been guarding her tightly for fear of being snatched away."
"Yes, Heitu was very careful. When Lan Yue became the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I found that Heitu was very nervous and quietly went to find Lan Yue." Huang Ying answered with a smile.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the dull atmosphere just now was gone.
Lin Yan looked at Lan Yue and blinked, "You really want to take over the military department. As far as I know, don't you prefer the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Heitu said eagerly: "Lin Yan, don't talk nonsense. What Lan Yue likes most is the military department. She is a born soldier, brave and resourceful."
"Why are you so anxious? Lan Yue hasn't spoken yet?"
Kurotsuchi looked at Lan Yue anxiously. He was not really being poached, was he?
The military has long been optimistic about Lan Yue. If she is not happy, how can he dare to retire.
Lan Yue looked back and forth at the few people, not wanting to make Heitu anxious, and said calmly: "I'm going to the military headquarters."
The anxiety on Kurotsuchi's face was immediately replaced by joy, "I'm just saying, we agreed, how could you go back on your word? Lin Yan, did you hear that? Don't talk nonsense in the future."
Lin Yan nodded with a smile and said, "I heard it, Lan Yue is from your military department."
After the laughter, Lin Yan said seriously: "Since Heitu's health does not allow it, Lan Yue will temporarily take over his work. But when big things happen, Heitu will also be involved."
He is the anchor of the league, and his absence will have a huge impact.
Kurotsuchi nodded in agreement.
