"Hey, calm down. The situation is as it is; don't act impulsively."
Shen Congfeng shook his head. "Fine, I can agree not to deal with Chen Anlin, but these two fish demons are a great supplement. If I kill them, how would Chen Anlin know?"
"Listen to me, Zhang Lao. Offer one fish demon to my father; he will understand my filial piety and won't say anything!"
"Alright then."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoling and the Fathead Fish nearly burst into tears.
They never expected that after mentioning Chen Anlin's name, the other party would become even angrier. What should they do now?
"Woo woo woo, we won't eat anything! Please don't eat us!"
"It's a misunderstanding! Really, it's a misunderstanding! We are enemies with Chen Anlin too!"
In the shadows, Chen Anlin coldly watched Shen Congfeng and his group.
With a swish, Chen Anlin stepped out in a long blue robe. "Do you know that these two fish demons are of great use to His Majesty?"
Shen Congfeng was startled and quickly turned around.
When he saw Chen Anlin's face, his expression twisted in fear. "Chen... Chen Anlin, how could you be here?"
He simply couldn't comprehend how Chen Anlin had suddenly appeared.
The elders behind him felt a chill run down their spines; this was bad.
"Come on, I didn't want to hold the Shen family accountable, but you just tried to kill His Majesty's fish demons! Shen Congfeng, who gave you the audacity? Is your family tired of living among the nine clans?"
"Young Master Chen, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!" Zhang Lao swallowed hard and hurriedly spoke up.
"Killing Shen Congfeng will just be seen as a misunderstanding."
Bang!
Zhang Lao slapped Shen Congfeng on the back.
Shen Congfeng:
Chen Anlin:
"Zhang Lao, you—"
Shen Congfeng was caught off guard by the blow and rolled on the ground several times.
He never dreamed that Elder Zhang would launch a surprise attack. Chen Anlin could hardly fathom it either; in this day and age, there were not many decisive people like him.
"Elder Zhang, you are a revered member of my family. How dare you harm me?" Shen Congfeng shouted angrily. Looking around at the others, he barked, "What are you all standing there for? Kill him! Kill him!"
Unfortunately, at that moment, no one heeded his command.
Elder Zhang coldly replied, "For the sake of the Shen family, I can only trouble you to meet your end!"
"No!" Shen Congfeng cried out in despair as Elder Zhang's palm came crashing down.
Bang!
Shen Congfeng's head shattered into pieces.
Chen Anlin nodded and waved his hand, causing the ropes binding the two fish demons to snap apart.
"Don't worry. I will speak to the Empress later. The mastermind has already been dealt with, and I believe Her Majesty will not hold this against you any longer! Remember, there are some things that must be done, and some things that absolutely must not be done. Do you understand?"
"We understand! We all understand!"
Chen Anlin nodded again and then left with the two fish demons.
After leaving, Chen Anlin couldn't help but reflect on the situation. The Empress's reputation was indeed formidable; after annihilating two sects, the Shen family had surrendered without hesitation.
However, surrendering would come at a great cost for the Shen family. He believed that the Empress would soon settle accounts with them.
Two days later, Chen Anlin returned to Zhao State City once more. He had no intention of seeing Fan Lingxue again; for now, he would stay at the Iron Mountain Escort Agency.
The staff at the Iron Mountain Escort Agency greeted Chen Anlin respectfully. Fan Changjiang led everyone in kneeling before him.
The entire family was tense. They had not expected to meet the legendary dog of the Empress—oh no, a powerful minister under her command.
Fan Lingxue watched Chen Anlin nervously. She was now contemplating something crucial.
The mysterious master encountered outside must be Chen Anlin.
"Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just waiting for His Majesty to arrive! Unfortunately, I have no place to stay. I was wondering if it would be convenient for me to borrow a place to rest for a few days?"
"Convenient? Absolutely!"
Fan Changjiang's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. This was indeed a significant matter.
"Then I’ll take the liberty," he said.
Once Chen Anlin moved in, the entire Zhao Prefecture City erupted in excitement. Many dignitaries and wealthy individuals nearly trampled over the threshold of the Fan family’s residence. It was said that the Zhao family had fled overnight, leaving Zhao Prefecture City behind, which had become a ghost town. Consequently, many sought to establish connections with Chen Anlin, hoping for a chance to restore the city. Unfortunately, Chen Anlin did not meet with any of them.
That night, Chen Anlin and Fan Lingxue sat across from each other. On the table, the tea in their cups swayed gently as they brewed hot tea.
"What? The position of the city is being considered for my father???"
Fan Lingxue's pupils constricted, and she was left utterly stunned. Just moments ago, her father had asked her to come and chat with Chen Anlin. She never expected him to make such an outrageous joke—asking her father to establish a new city here!
"What's wrong? Don't you want it?" Chen Anlin smiled faintly as he looked at Fan Lingxue.
"I do want it; it’s just that I truly can’t dare to think about it."
"When I choose people, I focus on three things: loyalty, loyalty, and once again, loyalty!"
