Return to the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
Studying the system interface that had stabilized again, Su Xinhong held his chin, feeling a bit toothache.
There are documents on the table that deal with various aspects of Luoxia City, and I am not in the mood to review them.
System overloaded?
It's just off the mark.
It took him ten years to cultivate to the golden elixir stage in a leisurely manner. This speed couldn't be considered fast at all, right? But in the end, the system couldn't bear the overload?
Thanks to him for praising it earlier, can he be more able to withstand stress?
However, there was no good solution for a while. His own time traveling was force majeure. As an outsider, I don’t know whether it was because of the acclimatization or hostility towards outsiders like him. The first time he traveled, Su Xinhong felt a great unknown terror, and the invisible power gathered between heaven and earth almost made him die on the spot.
This world is too hostile to travelers.
Fortunately, the system came to the rescue in time and helped him save a small life, giving him the qualification to live in this world.
Therefore, when it comes to system tasks, he basically refuses anyone who comes, thinking that the other party will save his life. Even if an employee works for the boss, it is the right thing to do.
Unexpectedly, before he even complained, the system would be the first to fail.
Hey, hey, you are a system, don’t imitate my useless master, don’t be lazy, get up and work!
At worst, I will consider your feelings in the future and be less efficient, okay?
After studying the system for a long time, there was still no response from the other party, and there was not even any guidance on how to change from automatic mode to manual mode. This really made him feel speechless.
This thing is on strike. What will I ask my subordinates to do in the future?
Seeing them having nothing to do every day makes me feel uncomfortable!
"Senior brother, senior brother!"
He was still studying some changes after the system went down, and he didn't have any clues, but an anxious and urgent female voice came from outside the hall.
Su Xinhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he pinched the corners of his eyebrows. Without him having to say anything, he looked up and saw a girl in a fluttering purple skirt rushing in.
Her facial features are exquisite and picturesque, her body is slender and slender, and her skin is as white as snow. If she stood there quietly, she would definitely be a little fairy who is refined from the world. However, the girl's lively and active temperament and impetuous words and deeds completely broke it. That impression.
This is the junior sister Ling Xueyin whom his master Jiang Yuyao brought back by chance when he went out for fun five years ago.
Well, nominally speaking, I saw that the other party was extremely talented and couldn't bear to let such a pearl become dusty.
In fact, I bought a bunch of good things to eat, drink and have fun, but I forgot to bring gifts to the apprentice who was looking after the house, so I could only accept a junior sister as an excuse.
The reason is also very simple. One day later, when he took his junior sister home to visit her adoptive father and mother's grave, he discovered that Ling Xueyin lived ten miles outside Luoxia City, just two steps away.
It can only be said that Master is considerate.
"Junior sister, tell me slowly if you have anything to do. Don't be surprised."
Su Xinhong's first reaction when he saw the girl rushing in was to stand up and press the table with both hands, put on a serious expression, and used the dignity of his senior brother that he had cultivated over the years to calm the girl first and let her be impulsive. Eliminate some.
It's just that this time his behavior didn't have the desired effect.
Ling Xueyin ran to him, her fair and tender cheeks were very nervous: "Senior brother, it's not good, it's not good, Manager Chen is an undercover lurking in our Luoxia City. Just now when I led people to kill the evil cultivator, He is also planning to spread the word and let the evil cultivator go!"
Su Xinhong was stunned for a moment on the spot.
Manager Chen?
"Junior sister, are you sure?" His eyes flickered and he asked.
"Of course."
Ling Xueyin grabbed his arm and nodded repeatedly: "Didn't Senior Brother order us to arrest the evil cultivator? We were fully prepared and were about to surround him, but Manager Chen suddenly attacked him at that critical moment. He sneezed, causing the roundup to almost fail. He didn't fight early or late, but he made such an obvious noise at that time. There is obviously something wrong. "
"Is there more?" Su Xinhong's mouth twitched, a little speechless.
Ling Xueyin pulled him out and described it very quickly: "Later, I injured the evil cultivator and prepared to capture him alive, but Manager Chen accidentally dropped his knife and hit the evil cultivator. Kill, my Taoist heart is clear and I can clearly feel that Manager Chen's behavior was extremely wrong at that time. Senior brother, you must have been deceived by his honest and loyal appearance."
Looking at the serious look of his junior sister, Su Xinhong sighed inwardly.
He knew his junior sister very well. Not only was she an extraordinary talent, but more importantly, her natural talent, a clear mind, was particularly obvious in perceiving evil thoughts and malice. As long as she had some bad thoughts, she could clearly perceive them.
Since she said so, there must be something wrong with Chen Yan, the manager.
but……
but……
"Young City Lord, Miss!"
Just as Su Xinhong was being led by Ling Xueyin and walking quickly, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties ran over in a panic and knelt down to the two of them without saying a word.
"The old slave made big mistakes one after another while doing his work. I hope the young city lord will be merciful and spare my life."
Speaking of this, Manager Chen became even more emotional and burst into tears: "The villain has been here for six years and has always been loyal. What happened today is that the villain was wrong. Let's go I drank a few cups of horse urine before, causing me to miss an important event for the young city lord and the young lady. The villain really deserves death, but... the villain has served the young city lord and the young lady in front of and behind the horse for so many years. There is no credit but hard work. Even if The villain is guilty, and he is definitely not an undercover agent or a spy as the young lady said. I hope the Young City Master will find out and clear the villain's name."
At the end of the cry, the man even grabbed the ground with his head, making a banging sound, which was very moving.
"You...you...don't try to lie to my senior brother with hypocrisy...you are obviously a traitor...do you think I can't tell?" Just seeing his posture, Ling Xueyin was furious and pulled out her long hair. The sword was about to chop off the man's head.
Not to mention the fake crying look now, based on her previous performance in hunting down evil cultivators, she was 99% sure that there was something wrong with Manager Chen.
There are only three people in the mansion, her senior brother and the master, and the manager of the city lord's mansion has problems. How can this be done?
I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!
Otherwise, one day this person will really have evil intentions, and there will be big trouble.
"Junior sister, junior sister... don't be impatient yet!"
Su Xinhong hurriedly pulled the girl, squeezed her weak and boneless hand, and patiently explained: "You can't be so arbitrary in everything. I recruited Mr. Chen into the house a few years ago. You should also know that he is honest, loyal, hard-working, and uncomplaining. Let him never be sloppy in doing things, and always take the lead when encountering dangerous things. He has been seriously injured many times. He could have retired in the house, but he still refuses to do easy work. How can such a loyal person be a spy? "
"But..." Ling Xueyin's anxious little face turned red, and her eyes looking at Chen Yan were even more full of hostility.
Sure enough, this person usually talks too much and the senior brother doesn't even have the thought of doubting him.
"I know, I know." Su Xinhong pulled the girl beside him and turned to the man kneeling on the ground and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I have seen all the contributions you have made to Luoxia City over the years. Absolutely I won’t accuse you wrongly. It’s my junior sister who got impulsive. You can go down first. Since the evil cultivator has been killed, let’s take the guards in the mansion to have a good rest. Here are five spiritual stones. You can go to the city to relax.”
After saying that, he took out five spiritual stones from his pocket and handed them to the other party.
"Thank you, Young City Lord!"
Chen Yan withdrew with gratitude, but the moment he took the spirit stone and turned around, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes that were still filled with tears before, and then a hint of pride.
Su Xinhong sighed slightly when he saw this, this is a bit difficult to handle!
Without this person, where would he find such a loyal hero to complete tasks for him?
