147: If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!

“Director Jiang, Han Renlao, the Han Family’s steward, requests an audience!”

Long Xixue blinked her large, sparkling eyes, looking at Jiang Liu, then at Jiang Lin.

She was actually curious about what had happened to the Han Family.

Jiang Lin said directly, “Let’s go, we’ll see him together!”

Side hall, reception room.

Upon seeing Jiang Lin arrive, Han Renlao immediately stood up to greet him:

“Director Jiang, my master specifically sent me to express his gratitude to you!”

“Currently, there are many Family matters, otherwise he would have definitely come personally!”

“Everyone in the Han Family, from top to bottom, thanks Director Jiang for helping to clear our Han Family of suspicion!”

Jiang Lin smiled and quickly helped the bowing Han Renlao up, saying hurriedly:

“Steward Han, you’re saying too much!”

“Investigating Devils, these are just my duties!”

Looking at Jiang Lin’s hypocritical Face, Han Renlao felt incomparable grief and indignation in his heart!

He couldn’t understand.

Jiang Lin had arrested the Family Head, confiscated the Han Family’s resources, and even tormented so many Han Family descendants!

Several outstanding descendants had already suffered nervous breakdowns, their paths to cultivation severed.

With great difficulty, Jiang Lin “couldn’t withstand” the pressure and released both the people and the resources.

As a result, the first thing the Family Head did upon returning was to order him to come and thank this scoundrel?!

Suppressing his grief and indignation, Han Renlao forced a smile: “Director Jiang, this is a landscape stone my master immediately had people carve as soon as he returned, to show his gratitude!”

A four-meter-tall giant stone appeared in the main hall.

The giant stone emitted a soft yellow light, as if it could soothe one’s anxiety.

On the stone, the four characters “Clear as a Mirror” were carved!

Jiang Lin quickly waved his hand: “Millennium Spirit-Nourishing Jade, such a valuable gift must not be accepted!”

Han Renlao inwardly sneered,

Keep pretending, keep pretending!

He’s truly taking advantage and still trying to maintain a facade of virtue!

Alas, when has my Han Family ever been so humble!

But on the surface, he still said with a beaming smile: “It’s fine, it’s fine!”

“This item is most suitable for the Demon Suppression Division, putting it to good use!”

Jiang Lin still shook his head: “The Han Family has spent too much, it’s not right, not right!”

Han Renlao was already gritting his teeth inwardly.

This kid is truly putting on an act!

But on the surface, he almost pleaded: “Director Jiang, please accept it, otherwise I will be punished by the Family Head when I return!”

“Just give the Han Family some Face, and accept it!”

Long Xixue, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and also advised: “Brother Lin, he’s already said so much, just accept it!”

Jiang Lin looked troubled: “Then I’ll… accept it?”

Han Renlao nodded repeatedly: “Please accept it, Director Jiang, this is also a form of assurance for your subordinates!”

Jiang Lin waved his hand, and the giant stone appeared in the courtyard outside the main hall.

It perfectly blended into the atmosphere there, as if it was meant to be there!

Han Renlao’s eyelids twitched.

Good heavens, you had already prepared a spot for it!

And you’re pretending to be truly undeserving!

Damn it, I can’t stand such a shameless person!

I don’t want to stay here for another moment!

“Director Jiang, my mission is complete. My master said he will definitely visit to express his gratitude during this period!”

Jiang Lin extended his hand, seeing him off: “Family Head Han is too polite, I merely did what I should have done!”

Watching the harmonious scene between the two, Long Xixue’s heart was filled with relief.

Jiang Lin is just like that!

Helpful, and asks for nothing in return!

Before long, Jiang Lin returned and said: “Long Xiyue, I’ve already arranged everything. You should first familiarize yourself with all the procedures!”

“If you need anything, just send me a message through this talisman. I need to go formulate the unified combat plan now, so I won’t be accompanying you for now!”

Long Xixue felt a slight regret in her heart, but she still said understandingly: “Brother Lin, hurry and get busy. I’ll familiarize myself first and try to get started as soon as possible so I can help you!”

After Jiang Lin left, a middle-aged woman came to Long Xixue’s side and said: “Director Xue, I am Wu Xiu. Shall I take you inside the Secret Realm to understand things first?”

Long Xixue nodded, and as she walked, she asked curiously: “Is your Director always this busy?”

Wu Xiu took out the pre-prepared answer and said: “Alas, the Director is determined to eradicate the seven great Devil Cults!”

“Especially with the Qi chaos in Cloud Marsh Province recently, the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Cult is extremely rampant there.”

“The Director is preparing to head to Cloud Marsh Province in the next few days to eradicate the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Cult!”

“He hasn’t rested for two days and two nights for the combat plan!”

“Because the Demon Suppression Division was fully completed today, he only left the war room to boost the morale of the managers within the Division!”

Long Xixue gasped, taking a cold breath.

Brother Lin is truly working himself to death!

Having him is truly a blessing for Kyushu!

At this moment, they passed by the Hall of Penalties again, and the old man was still chattering incessantly.

“Jiang Lin, you despicable scoundrel, bullying others with your power, oppressing men and women! If you don’t save my son this time, I’m not done with you!”

Long Xixue frowned.

Oppressing men and women?

Do you know the inside story?

Do you know how the Han Family’s steward thanked Brother Lin just now?

You just have a mouth, creating baseless rumors.

This person is very likely to have ulterior motives, perhaps even incited by a Devil Head!

Thinking of this, Long Xixue turned to look at the attendant of the Hall of Penalties and said coldly: “Why are you letting him shout and yell here?”

The attendant quickly said: “Director, he is wearing the golden armor bestowed by His Majesty, so we can’t do anything to him!”

Long Xixue’s Face froze: “He earned it himself?”

The attendant replied: “A small Family, relying on the glory of their ancestors to obtain it. They’re used to throwing their weight around among the common people!”

The old man heard this and immediately became agitated, roaring:

“You are insulting me and my Family! Let Jiang Lin see me, I want an explanation from him!”

Long Xixue’s Face was already grim, and she said coldly: “Drag him out and give him a hundred strokes. If he talks back, hit him again!”

The old man heard this and revealed his golden armor: “I’d like to see who dares to hit me! This is golden armor bestowed by His Majesty! Without His Majesty’s verbal decree, no one can touch me!”

“Let Jiang Lin come see me! If he doesn’t give me an explanation, I’m going to see Your Majesty right now!”

Long Xixue’s Face was already covered in frost: “Drag him down and execute the punishment!”

“If there’s any resistance, beat him to death with the staff immediately!”

The attendant looked shocked and stammered: “That golden armor…”

Long Xixue said coldly: “If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!”

“Tell everyone that from now on, if you encounter anyone using a death-exemption token, arrest them without hesitation. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!”

[Ding, Favorability +100, unlocked special panel ‘Farming Skill Tree’!]

Long Xixue quickly turned to look at the top floor of the Demon Suppression Division’s main hall, her Face full of surprise.

“Brother Lin is watching here?”

“He acknowledged me?”

...

Han Family.

Upon hearing that her father and everyone else, as well as the Han Family’s resources, had all returned,

Han Qian awoke from her anxiety, realizing,

Jiang Lin actually… really kept his word?

Since that’s the case, you still want me to go suffer humiliation today?

Dream on!

Do you really think I, Han Qian, am that lowly?

I will not let you gain another cent of advantage!

As she thought, she sped towards the Han Family’s main hall.

“Father, are you alright?”

As soon as she entered the main hall, she asked.

At this moment, Han Yuan Yue sat on the main seat, his Face grim, not saying a word.

When he saw Han Qian’s Face full of concern, a hint of struggle appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Han Yuan Yue not speaking, Han Qian became even more anxious: “Father, what’s wrong?”

“Did Jiang Lin make things difficult for you?”

After a long while, Han Yuan Yue finally sighed helplessly: “Xi’er, Old Ancestor wants to see you!”

“No matter what Old Ancestor wants you to do, you have the right to choose for yourself!”

“But as your father, I still hope you can consider the Han Family!”

“After all… never mind, go now, don’t let Old Ancestor wait too long!”

In the Secret Realm,

Han Qian stood respectfully opposite the Han Family’s Old Ancestor.

Han Fu, the Han Family’s Old Ancestor, was not tall, and his eyes were squinted into a slit, making it difficult to see his pupils.

But what was most striking about him was his large belly, extremely rare in the cultivation world, resembling a smiling Buddha.

“Xi’er, you’ve arrived?”

Han Qian quickly replied: “Old Ancestor, Xi’er has arrived!”

Han Fu nodded, his tone implying something: “Xi’er, how has the Han Family treated you?”
