Cough, cough… Lin Tiancheng couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.
Aren't the two Masters in a really good mood, huh?
Joking around and doing serious business, both at the same time?
Hongdou was used to it and went to comfort the children around them. Logically, she didn't need to do these things; her personal presence was merely to act as a liaison for Yin Cha Xian, expressing the importance placed on the two guests.
However, Yun Ming's matters were naturally her matters. Moreover, these younger siblings were crying so piteously; she understood the pain of having loved ones swallowed by the Void.
Yun Ming's mouth twitched. When it came to being abstract, he wasn't as good as his Senior Apprentice Brother. His future Sister-in-Law would truly be blessed.
He glanced at Hongdou.
Fortunately, he wasn't abstract, and his little wife wasn't abstract either. What a gentle and kind child she was… He stopped thinking about it.
He formed a hand seal with one hand, and his aura suddenly vibrated. A circle of runes gradually carved themselves into existence around him, forming talismans and solidifying into physical objects.
Then, the talismans stacked into a pile.
Like throwing money, he grandly tossed them into Xu Zhimo's hand, rewarding him with Spirit Talismans +40.
"Set up the Grand Peace Purification Array! Have the Junior Apprentices go to the Four Symbols array points, and I will preside!"
"Hmm…"
Xu Zhimo stared at the talismans, lost in thought.
"By the way, Junior Apprentice, can your Condensation Realm also condense money? How long can it last?"
Yun Ming instantly understood, looking at his Senior Apprentice Brother as if he were looking at a madman, his mouth twitching.
Dude… the District Chief is still here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to openly discuss this?
He turned his head, his expression serious.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Hurry and organize the Junior Apprentices to set up the array. Important matters come first!"
Privately, however, he transmitted his voice.
"What crazy idea do you have now? Tell me when we get back~"
Xu Zhimo smacked his lips, marveling.
Alright, alright, so you're putting on an act with me. Don't I know what kind of person you are?
But his face was also very serious. After excusing himself from Lin Tiancheng, he immediately organized the Junior Apprentices to set up the array around the Qiong Long Encirclement.
"Cough, cough… Little Master Yun, please, you must save these residents. We've truly troubled you again this time."
Lin Tiancheng held Yun Ming's hand. Although he had just heard everything and was greatly shocked… right now… even if Yun Kui Mountain was really making counterfeit money, what could he do?
Who was the boss in this small territory, there was no need to say more. Just recently, he heard the Mayor say—
This young man had taken the Hoshimi Family's precious granddaughter as a Apprentice, and the Hoshimi Family also had a tendency to advance their forces into Wei Fei Territory recently.
Yun Kui Mountain was still too powerful!
His eyes were full of admiration, but at this moment, the young man, in turn, gripped his hand tightly, his eyes filled with misery.
He looked utterly heartbroken and pathetic.
"Uncle Lin, there were too many people just now… I really didn't have the face to say it, but to be frank, our Yun Kui Mountain is already so poor we can't even open the pot…"
"Look at those Junior Apprentices and Junior Apprentice Sisters acting over there, they're all gaunt and sallow. There are only about a dozen people on the mountain who can be used."
"I'm really afraid… that the incense of Yun Kui Mountain will be cut off in my hands…"
Yun Ming looked at Lin Tiancheng with profound grief.
His Senior Apprentice Brother was there just now, and he was afraid that scoundrel would secretly take pictures. Now that he was gone, he finally didn't have to pretend.
He rarely saw this District Chief on ordinary days!
Before the array was formed, he had to properly explain how much Yun Kui Mountain had sacrificed for the common people over the years. Good heavens, your Municipal Government hasn't shown any appreciation.
Even if Xuan Mingzi was too embarrassed to speak up.
Couldn't you be more proactive? Damn it, you think of them when you need people, but why don't you give them a share when collecting taxes and distributing welfare!?
Yun Ming naturally knew the Municipal Government's intentions.
They definitely didn't want Yun Kui Mountain to become too powerful, but they couldn't interfere in Wei Fei Territory, and ironically, this was a group of kind and righteous people… so easy to manipulate.
They would casually find an excuse and send people to suppress the Void.
His Senior Apprentice Brother wasn't originally the Senior Apprentice Brother, and his Senior Apprentice Sister wasn't originally the Senior Apprentice Sister… it was just that too many people died.
They then became the Senior Apprentice Brother and Senior Apprentice Sister.
How did the Yun Kui Mountain Apprentices all die in the disaster of the Old Capital's fall in the game? Suo En District was eight hundred li away from the Zero Hollow outbreak.
Even if it expanded, it would only reach Suo En District after everyone in Ailidu died.
What was the result? A single phrase, 'protecting TOPS' important assets,' sent everyone over. Yun Ming just didn't know who gave that order during that special period in the plot.
Otherwise, he would go and chop them down right now.
What, are the people of your Defense Force and Hollow Investigation Association human, but the people of our Yun Kui Mountain are not?
It won't happen this time. They can resist the disaster… but a general outside has the right to disobey the ruler's command. Whoever talks about protecting assets again, they can go themselves.
As long as Yun Kui Mountain's power remained intact, after Ailidu fell, who could do anything to them?
I have two Supremes in one sect, and also a fierce little fox. Who dares to invade!?
However, these were things that hadn't happened yet… Yun Ming suppressed the anger in his heart, staring at the eyes of this elder with a benevolent smile, but his dark pupils showed no quarter.
He could ignore past events.
But from now on, the pie had to be redivided. In this small territory of Wei Fei Territory, he would be the one to call the shots.
"…"
Lin Tiancheng was also a shrewd person and naturally felt that aura, along with the faint murderous intent that had just risen.
He subtly waved his other hand.
Signaling the hidden guards not to act rashly, his gaze also sincerely followed the direction of Yun Ming's finger… Those Yun Kui Mountain Apprentices in yellow and white uniforms, acting alongside the Municipal medical personnel… although somewhat disheveled, which one of them wasn't radiant with health?
Gaunt and sallow?
Your Junior Apprentice Sister is developing so well—
Her legs are long and white, and well-fleshed.
Your Junior Apprentice Brother has a body full of Shank, strong enough to smash a cow to death, and you tell me they're gaunt and sallow!? Yun Kui Mountain is poor, but is it because the Municipal Government hasn't given subsidies?
Is it because you haven't been paid for doing commissions?
You're poor because you pick up orphans every day, and when they grow up, you let them choose their own lives, spending money without earning any, right?
You do good deeds to help the old and weak, and sell things cheaply.
You can't be heartless yourself, so you blame others?
Putting everything else aside, in this small territory of Chenghui Flat, even if you sold it at an exorbitant price, no one would dare to utter a sound. If Yun Kui Mountain said no, TOPS couldn't interfere, no matter how hard they tried!
You're poor, is it my fault?
Young people, you're a bit hot-headed, huh~
Don't say things that are detrimental to unity, don't do things that are detrimental to unity. Also, you said there are only a dozen people who can be used. Are you unable to count, or am I?
There are clearly dozens!
If Yun Kui Mountain expands further, are you trying to rebel?
Lin Tiancheng was furious, but he couldn't get angry at this young man who was speaking nonsense with his eyes wide open, so he could only comfort him.
"Little Master Yun, I understand the situation you've described. This is the situation, and the Municipal Government will definitely find a way to solve it…"
"Such as?"
"…"
