112: Chapter 112 Young friend, trouble has struck!

Seeing that Lin Xiao had future plans as well, Principal Li Qingyun felt that the young man wasn't just playing around. He couldn't help but cough.

"It seems my young friend is not doing this on a whim, cough cough. I have also carefully read your flyers, and they don't seem to mention people from other domains?"

"If people from other Star Domains happen to come to our Anping County for some reason and wish to register at the temple as well..."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao finally understood the principal's meaning. Was he planning to let his relatives from outside come and get some resources too?

"The Principal is indeed thorough. If people from other Star Domains come to our Anping County, as long as there are no issues with their identities and they aren't wanted criminals and the like,"

"I naturally won't stop them from registering. The temple has only just been established, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in many aspects."

"For example, with today's resource exchange, over a million people crowded in on a single day. They probably won't finish exchanging everything. I originally thought about extending the exchange period."

"That would also make things easier for my subordinates. Now, it seems it would be best to open an online shop instead."

"This way, whether everyone is accepting missions or exchanging resources, it will be much more convenient and faster..."

Having received the answer he wanted, Principal Li Qingyun's smile relaxed significantly. He smiled and nodded as he listened.

"Your idea is indeed quite good. I can see that you have put your heart into this Commission Temple. This sets my mind at ease. If something like today's situation happens again, you can send me a message."

"I believe this old face of mine still holds some weight."

While Lin Xiao was busy with the temple's affairs, he chatted with the principal.

On the other side, inside the Anping Divine Mansion, the Tier 3 Magistrate Mei Fang was currently standing in the hall with a respectful yet apprehensive look on his face.

At this moment, in the main seat, a man enveloped in the power of Law, looking like a True God, sat upright.

"It seems that staying in a small place like Anping County for too long really does erode one's determination. You have suffered over these years; have you ever resented me in your heart?"

Hearing this, Magistrate Mei Fang fell to his knees, his face filled with respect.

"If it weren't for you back then, My Lord, I wouldn't even have my life. I have nothing but gratitude and respect for you!"

Hearing this, the power of Law circulating around the man sped up slightly. Looking down at Magistrate Mei Fang, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, your matter happened hundreds of years ago. Recently, I've been pulling strings for you; even transferring to another county would be better than here."

"Unfortunately, your luck is poor, and this kind of thing just had to happen. Now, I suppose you'll have to waste some more years here. Considering your contributions over the years,"

"along with my mediation, the higher-ups won't pursue this matter. Take this as a lesson for the future, and do not make any more mistakes."

Hearing this, Magistrate Mei Fang breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart.

"I thank you for your intervention, My Lord. I will definitely work harder and be more diligent in the future to ensure similar incidents do not happen again!"

The power of Law around the man brightened slightly upon hearing this, and he smiled, gesturing for Magistrate Mei Fang to sit down to the side.

"Just now, I heard a report from my subordinates that a Commission Temple has appeared in your county, and it seems quite lively? Tsk tsk, the benefits they offer are even higher than what I, a Fourth-order Deity, provide."

"I heard the temple master is from the Lin family of Xuanyuan Star?"

Magistrate Mei Fang didn't expect this matter to have already reached the Lord's ears. Having only sat on the edge of his chair, he quickly stood up to reply.

"My Lord is wise. That young friend indeed comes from the Lin family of Xuanyuan Star. Regarding the benefits, I have also inquired in detail..."

Next, Magistrate Mei Fang detailed Lin Xiao's life, as well as all the information and speculations he had gathered. However, he concealed the ten percent profit that Lin Xiao had promised him.

He only mentioned the double benefits for the Divine Guards under his command.

"This child is quite interesting. Judging by his generosity, he doesn't really seem like an illegitimate child. He also acts with some propriety and even knows to curry favor with you, the magistrate."

"Lately, things have been a bit unsettled in the Xuanxu Star Region, and our friction with foreign races has started to increase. I might have to go there to assume office in a few days. However, the Xuanxu Star Region is located on the border of our Human Race."

"Not only is the environment harsh, but the monthly salary can only maintain the daily expenses of my Divine Kingdom. Hearing that we are about to go to the Xuanxu Star Region, my Subordinate Deities have even lower morale..."

Hearing this, how could Magistrate Mei Fang not understand the Lord's meaning? His tone softened slightly as he asked, carefully choosing his words.

"Your departure is for the peace of our Human Race. If you do not object, My Lord, I am willing to register identities for your Subordinate Deities in that temple."

"I believe young friend Lin will give me some face, though it might trouble your Subordinate Deities to temporarily take on the identity of Divine Guards..."

"Haha, would there be any issue with that? Would one hundred thousand Divine Guards be a bit too many? Once I go, the maintenance of my divine palace is also an issue."

"I wonder if that Commission Temple accepts Intermediate Gods? And what would the benefits be?"

The moment the man spoke, Magistrate Mei Fang felt cold sweat breaking out. One hundred thousand Divine Guards? Was the Lord counting his entire net worth?

He had even counted himself in!

Even if all one hundred thousand were only First-order Deities, based on the double benefits of the Divine Guards, it would be three hundred million divine power points a month!

And with the Lord being a Intermediate God, he found it even harder to imagine how much would be appropriate to pay him each month. Too little would insult the Lord's status. If it were more...

Just thinking of the figure of three hundred million divine power points a month made Magistrate Mei Fang feel dizzy. How was he supposed to bring this up with Lin Xiao?

If he spoke up, would the other party think he was using his status to extort him? If it really drew the attention of the Lin family, how could a tiny magistrate like him face it?

Carefully glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the Lord was currently staring at him with a face full of smiles.

It seemed that if he didn't agree today, he wouldn't be able to settle this peacefully...

[Forget it, since that Lin family kid can even manage all the demigods and deities in the entire county, adding another hundred thousand people should be fine... right?

If all else fails, I can have him find an excuse to cut one hundred thousand deities and hundreds of thousands of demigods?]

"My Lord is acting for the safety of the entire Human Race. I believe young friend Lin is a reasonable person. If My Lord permits, I shall go and contact him now?"

Hearing this, the power of Law around the man seemed to rotate a bit more cheerfully.

"Hahaha, since you have business, go ahead and attend to it. It won't be too late to catch up properly after you're done."

"Then I shall take the liberty to temporarily excuse myself..."

Carefully backing out of the room, Magistrate Mei Fang did not dare to delay. He quickly found a secluded spot and began to contact Lin Xiao.

"Disaster has struck, young friend!"

Just as he connected to the magistrate's communication, he heard these words. Lin Xiao, who had been smiling, couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"What does the Magistrate mean by this? What has happened? Could you explain it to me in detail?"

"Sigh, it's like this..."

Soon, the magistrate briefly described the current situation. Of course, he didn't dare to speak carelessly, only saying that the Lord's trip to the Xuanxu Star Region was too dangerous.

Upon hearing about the Commission Temple, the Lord wondered if his subordinates could register as well—one hundred thousand of them... In addition, he tactfully indicated that the Lord wished to register himself as well.

And he clearly stated that the Lord is a Fourth-order Peak Deity.
