Ever since that banquet, Gao Xiang has clearly felt some resistance and exclusion in recent times.
All the monks were very polite to you, treating you with a smile, and meeting your requests with a smile, but the indifference beneath those smiles made him feel like a thorn in his throat.
Everything seems to be moving forward, but it also seems like nothing is happening.
Gao Xiang has worked in the Holy Dynasty's Supervisory Office for more than two hundred years. He has encountered all kinds of storms and seen all kinds of scenes. He has even experienced life and death several times.
But this state still makes him feel quite uncomfortable.
In the cave, he felt a little depressed. Obviously, many things had loopholes, as if pulling out a random thread could uproot the entire line, but after pulling out the thread, there was always a more complicated ball of thread, which would keep winding around inside.
He knew that he had fallen into his opponent's logic and had to break out of it.
He became very angry and felt that he had to find Su Chenyu from the Shengong Immortal Sect as a breakthrough point.
Before that banquet, he could clearly feel that he had brought tremendous pressure to Su Chenyu, and in their several private conversations, he seemed to be hesitant to talk.
According to his experience, it was obvious that this was a call to explain something, but he underestimated the complexity of the Wanxian Island at the time and was too confident, so he did not force him, but planned to use a gentle way to let him speak out himself.
As a result, everything changed after the banquet. Su Chenyu no longer met him in private, and every time they met in public, he looked cold.
He didn't regret it so much at that time, as he felt that even without Su Chenyu, he could uncover the secrets of Wanxian Island on his own, and the result was obvious.
Just a little bit.
How could he know that after the banquet that day, Su Chenyu found Zheng Sanjin.
The two had a long conversation all night.
"That guy is investigating me. You can't just ignore me. I'm only doing this for our sake!"
In a panic, Su Chenyu spoke without thinking, and Zheng Sanjin's eyelids twitched. He almost attacked just because of one sentence.
If it weren't for the big sign of the Shengong Xianzong, just this sentence would have been enough to lead to death.
"Why are you panicking?"
"I'll tell you after I find out! Why don't you learn from others? Are you wasting all your cultivation on a dog?"
Su Chenyu was a little hysterical, "You have no idea how strict our Shengong Xianzong is in dealing with this kind of thing!"
"One of my senior brothers was hung on the baking furnace for ten years just because he embezzled a few pieces of spiritual ore!"
"The most terrifying thing is that he is constantly hovering between life and death!"
When he heard this, Zheng Sanjin was a little surprised.
Oh, is the Shengong Xianzong so strict? If you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, the things you come into contact with every day are relatively valuable. If there is no fear in your heart, the Shengong Xianzong would not have achieved what it has today.
If he can steal two or three spiritual ores today, he will dare to steal half of other people’s materials tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he might just tell others that the refining has failed!
The Shengong Xianzong had some good ideas, which Zheng Sanjin admired very much, especially the idea of hanging people above the oven, making them wander between life and death, which was similar to his idea of lighting lamps on people and hanging them in the sky, and even more interesting than his idea.
You can learn it later.
But that is a matter for the future. Now we need to deal with this old guy Su Chenyu.
"The more panicked you are now, the more he will think there is something wrong with you, and the more he will investigate you!"
"What should I do? He comes to me every other day, and all he talks about is their Nascent Soul. What can I say? What can I say?"
“No!”
"Not telling?"
"It takes countless lies to make up one lie. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you can no longer make up any more lies. So you might as well not say anything at all."
"Just let him investigate. It's up to him to figure out what he wants to find out. He can do whatever he wants before he finds out."
The more Su Chenyu thought about it, the more this made sense. Before, he always wanted to distance himself from the disappearance of the Nascent Soul.
He could only think of one reason after another and make up one story after another, just to tell the other party that he was ignorant and that he was innocent.
Now Zheng Sanjin has given another solution, which makes his eyes light up.
Yeah, I won’t make up stories for you. Even if you know what I did, so what? Do you have any evidence to kill me?
"He's a cultivator from the Holy Dynasty, what are you afraid of? Don't forget your own identity, you are the Nascent Soul of the Shengong Immortal Sect."
"Have you completed every mission assigned by the Shengong Xianzong?"
Su Chenyu's thoughts were interrupted. Why did he ask this again?
"Of course it's done. It's done to the letter!"
"Have you completed the mission on the front line?"
"It's done. Not only is it done, but we've done a little more. Although the quality may be a little flawed, this is a special period..."
"That's right. Your share was taken from other places. There's nothing wrong with you. What are you afraid of?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if you find out that you killed that monk, what can you do? Who hasn't killed someone who has reached our level of cultivation? What's wrong with you killing him for trespassing into the workshop?"
"Yes, but now I'm receiving more and more things from you, and I feel uneasy. There is nothing wrong with me, so why are the benefits increasing? Fellow Daoist Zheng, I feel uneasy."
Zheng Sanjin felt a little contempt for this boy in his heart. He said, "My goodness, I took all your shares from here, just to prevent you from causing me trouble. How come you have become the trouble now?"
His purpose is very simple, which is to keep the original workshop producing and maintaining his own industrial chain, which is where he makes his main profit.
Other things like corruption and embezzlement are just superficial things.
He just needed so many people to help him process the finished products he wanted, and then get them to the inland and the demon world to earn the difference.
If there is a big mistake or a big loss in someone's company, Zheng Sanjin will arrange a batch of materials from the demon world to make up for it, and will definitely not let it go bankrupt in the short term.
But he won't say these things out loud. If he does, his entire process of smuggling, processing and finishing will be exposed.
Collaborating with demons is a serious crime.
"You packed up all the stuff yourself?"
"No, no, some of the fine minerals were given to Master and Uncle."
"Well, that's good. Don't think too much. The people below have their own way of doing things, and we have our own way of doing things. The same goes for the senior uncles above."
"If the monks who actually do the operation don't take it, how can we take it? If we don't take it, how can our uncles take it?"
"I'm just afraid that in the end..."
"Friend Su, if you are so afraid of this and that, why not give you less next time so you can be more at ease?"
"Well, that's not necessary..."
To put it bluntly, you want it all but are afraid of taking responsibility. But is there such a good thing in the world where all the benefits are yours without any risk?
After that day, Su Chenyu never paid any attention to Gao Xiang again.
Gao Xiang was also silent for a while.
I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Gao Xiang still came to block the door.
