116: Chapter 116 Begins the Planning

Upon returning to the Commission Temple, Lin Xiao smiled and spoke to the four people.

"Anping County is not like the Star Domain you all stayed in before. If there is anything you are not used to, feel free to tell me.

I will certainly do my best to meet your needs. As for rooms, I will call someone to arrange them for you right now."

Upon hearing this, the four people including Xuan Liu chuckled and shook their heads at Lin Xiao.

"Lord Lin, there is no need to be so polite; just call me Xuan Liu. We are here under the orders of our master to protect you.

As for accommodation, our master has already made arrangements. Please do not trouble yourself with it, Lord Lin..."

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"In that case, I will not overstep. If you have any needs, as long as it is something I can do,

I will certainly handle it for you with care. From now on, I will have to trouble you all with my safety."

"Even if Lord Lin did not say anything, we would still do our best to protect your safety."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four immediately began to make arrangements. Four hundred Second-order Deities appeared in the main hall, while four thousand First-order Deities appeared outside the Commission Temple.

They helped the Divine Guards maintain order, while the four, including Xuan Liu, followed Lin Xiao like shadows.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao just smiled and did not say much. Because he knew that even if he disliked it, the other party would not listen to him.

[That really is quite blatant...]

Ignoring the four, Lin Xiao began to instruct Meng Ning in his mind.

"Meng Ning, find someone to take over your shift. I have something I need you to do. Come to the second floor and find a place where there is no one."

After changing shifts, Meng Ning came to the second floor, found an empty room, and contacted Lin Xiao.

"I wonder what orders you have for this minor deity, my Lord?"

Lin Xiao briefly explained the current situation. As Meng Ning listened in the room, his expression changed constantly, and by the end, his face was full of gravity.

"I will be more careful in the future and not let those four tails notice anything amiss. But this is not a long-term solution. Why don't you think of an excuse to close this Commission Temple?"

All the subordinates, including Meng Ning, felt that this Commission Temple was a trouble. With so many resources, even someone with an S-Rank Talent would fight to come here.

Why give these resources to outsiders for nothing? Not to mention that now even an Intermediate God has come to get involved. If it continues like this, there is no guarantee that even stronger deities won't come in the future.

"The matter of the Commission Temple was indeed my oversight, but it has reached this point now. It is not something we can close just because we want to. I will issue a notice later.

Membership registration will be temporarily suspended, and as for how long it will be suspended, that is yet to be determined. I called you here because there is something I want you to do."

Hearing that his Lord decided to suspend membership registration, Meng Ning felt a slight sense of relief.

"My Lord, feel free to give your orders; this minor deity will certainly handle it beautifully for you!"

Lin Xiao was still relatively at ease with subordinates like Meng Ning who had already signed the Slave God Contract.

"This task will be quite dangerous. I need some people who are not afraid of death. You cannot show your face, and it is best if it cannot be traced back to us."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ning's mouth twitched; it did not sound like anything good.

"I wonder if you could briefly explain what needs to be done? If the personnel required are too powerful, it will be difficult for me to sever all connections..."

Lin Xiao thought it over again and, ensuring there were no major loopholes, replied.

"I just want these people to deliver a letter, but the target of the delivery is very powerful. My letter might anger the other party, and you know what happens when a high-level deity gets angry.

So for this matter, I need to find some people who are not afraid of death. Of course, I can offer more in terms of compensation.

It is just delivering a letter; if they are clever enough, the danger is actually not too great. For every letter successfully delivered, I can offer ten thousand divine power points as a reward.

By the way, the person delivering the letter not only cannot have any connection to us, but it is best if they have no connection to Anping County either. I am afraid the other party might follow the clues."

Hearing his Lord's reply, Meng Ning breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just delivering a letter, it would be easier to manage.

"I wonder how many people you need, my Lord?"

"Let's start with ten for now. Also..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao stated his request. These Slave Gods like Meng Ning were now effectively in the same boat as him.

Whether it was the Slave God Contract or the treatment he provided, it was enough to keep these people firmly tied to his boat.

If his boat capsized, it would not benefit them in the slightest.

"Also, I want you to inquire about whether there are any Intermediate Deities who are in a bad situation. It is best to inquire about this secretly and not let anyone know."

Meng Ning, who had just set his heart at ease a little, felt his heart rise again upon hearing this. He felt that his Lord seemed to be planning something big again.

This made his heart beat much faster. His Lord was good in every way, whether it was the treatment or his temper.

The only bad thing was that he liked to do big things. He quietly created the Commission Temple, and now he is even planning to provoke an Intermediate God...

"My Lord... how about we deliberate on this matter further? If more Intermediate Deities get involved, if something goes wrong..."

"Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion..."

Suddenly thinking about the Commission Temple, Lin Xiao couldn't help but cough dryly. He added another sentence.

"This time I really have a sense of proportion. Didn't you see I told you not to drag us into it? As long as they don't know it's us, the worst-case scenario is just that the person delivering the letter gets implicated."

Hearing this, Meng Ning's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, since you have a sense of proportion, my Lord, I will say no more. What exactly do you mean by this so-called Intermediate God in a bad situation?"

"Hmm, probably someone living a relatively tight life. Very, very short on divine power points or resources, and this Intermediate God's strength cannot have any issues.

This point is very important. Even if he is seriously injured, as long as it can be quickly healed by spending divine power points, that is fine, but definitely not the kind whose strength has declined or cannot be cured."

Seeing this answer, Meng Ning seemed to feel what his Lord wanted to do. But as soon as this thought emerged, he felt it was too outrageous.

A Divine Being planning to recruit an Intermediate God? This is simply crazy!

Suppressing the crazy thought in his heart, Meng Ning took a deep breath.

"This minor deity understands; I will go find people to inquire about the news right away. I will also contact the personnel for delivering the letters quickly, and I will certainly not let people trace it back to us."

"Do not be afraid to spend divine power points on these matters; make sure to grease the wheels where necessary. If the divine power points are not enough, come to me."

After arranging things with Meng Ning, Lin Xiao smiled and spoke to the four people behind him.

"Could you lords give me a little private space? I have some rather private matters that I need to handle here."

The four looked at Lin Xiao for a while, and after sensing his determination, they took a step back.

"Then we will wait outside the door. If you encounter any danger, my Lord, just shout."

"Thank you for the trouble. In a while, I will have my subordinates bring some drinks and food over. You can use them to pass the time when you are bored."

Watching the four leave the room, Lin Xiao closed his eyes and used his Divine Thought to control the wristwatch in his hand.

"Uncle Mei, I have some things I would like to purchase..."
