Chen An subconsciously felt a little uneasy in his heart, but then he thought of his current identity, the successor of the Fengshen Jue and the heir to the leader of the Fengshen Sect!
What do I have to be afraid of? What can this woman do to me?
Of course, Chen An still didn't dare to say that. After all, Lu Hongyi was not only the head of the sect, but the key point was that she was also a woman with extremely high fighting power.
Chen An's expression straightened, and he said loudly, "Everyone, stand up. I, Chen An, would like to solemnly introduce someone to you. It is for this person that I am here to plead for the people!"
The people stood up one after another, wiping away tears that were either of gratitude or emotion, and all looked at Chen An.
Chen An pointed towards the place where Lu Hongyi was standing and said righteously: "Everyone, please look, this is my Fengshen Sect... uh..."
Lu Hongyi, who was originally standing in the crowd, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen An was just about to take advantage of the situation to drag Lu Hongyi into the water, but he didn't expect that this woman ran away so fast!
But soon, a voice came from the garrison: "Everyone come in!"
The sound was not loud, but Chen An, Jiang Yan, Duan Chi, Xing'er and others outside could hear it clearly.
Hearing this voice, which was obviously in a bad tone, Chen An looked at Duan Chi with high hopes.
As a result, looking at Duan Chi's nervous expression, he seemed to be even more guilty than him.
This guy was so passionate about protecting himself before, but now it seems that when the time comes, he has to be cowardly. We can't rely on him anymore!
Looking at Jiang Yan again... needless to say, the Jiang family has been guarding Lu Hongyi's sleep, and Jiang Yan even regards himself as Lu Hongyi's old slave.
As for the other Royal Guards, even if these guys wanted to help him, they didn't have the heart to protect him in front of Lu Hongyi!
Chen An turned around and looked at the people who were still looking up at him, shouting at the top of his voice: "Don't worry, everyone. Our Fengshen Sect's leader has come in person. Let alone corrupt officials, even if the emperor of the Tianyue Dynasty comes, he won't dare to do anything to you. Go home and live your lives as you should!"
As he spoke, Chen An pointed to a divine guard and said, "Brother, come here!"
When the Imperial Guard heard Chen An greet him and even called him brother, he was immediately flattered and excited: "Your Majesty, I am here!"
"Take some people with you, recruit some militiamen, and be responsible for maintaining order in Long'an Town. Those corrupt officials and tycoons still have some power that hasn't been eliminated, and they might do something bad!"
The Imperial Guard was extremely excited, his face serious: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely get it done. If I can't, I will bring my head to you!"
Only then did Chen An turn around and walk inside.
Before leaving, he called out to Duan Chi and Jiang Yan: "Let's go, what are you standing there for?"
Seeing that the two were still reluctant to go in, Chen An glanced at them. He couldn't expect these two guys to help him fight against Lu Hongyi.
But...if Lu Hongyi and I get into a fight, these two guys will have to break it up no matter what!
In the lobby of the garrison, Lu Hongyi sat in the position where the garrison usually tried cases. She had a veil on her face and was looking at a file on the table in her hand, seemingly absorbed in it.
Chen An and others walked in.
Jiang Yan, Duan Chi, and Xing'er all knelt down: "Greetings, Master!"
Since Lu Hongyi didn't say anything, the others naturally didn't dare to stand up.
Chen An sat down in the position of recorder and legal advisor, and saw that Lu Hongyi was still looking at the file and had no intention of speaking.
Chen An naturally did not want to bother trying to please someone so he crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and looked drowsy.
Lu Hongyi finally put down the file and glanced at the three people kneeling in the hall.
Then, his eyes fell on Chen An who was drowsy.
Bang!
The gavel exploded instantly, and Chen An lost all sleepiness. He sat up straight, his heart pounding.
But then he felt that he was too unmanly at the moment, so he lay down on the chair again and looked at Lu Hongyi.
Lu Hongyi's eyes were cold and stern. "Our Fengshen Sect has never been concerned with the affairs of the imperial court. You actually caused such a scene today. Do you know how much trouble this has brought to Fengshen Sect?"
Chen An didn't dare to look Lu Hongyi in the eye. This woman had a murderous aura.
However, Chen An said with a righteous look: "Humph, for cultivators like me, it is our duty to help the weak and fight against the strong, and to speak up for the people. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"
"I, Chen An, cannot bear to see you suffer and die unjustly!"
Chen An's words were righteous and powerful.
Although Chen An initially wanted to cause trouble for Lu Hongyi, he later saw that Wu Taizhang colluded with local gentry to commit crimes such as robbery, murder, and bullying of men and women.
At this moment, most of what Chen An said was what was in his heart. At least in Long'an Town, Chen An really wanted to plead for the people.
It’s not that Chen An has a noble sentiment of caring about the world, but that he really can’t stand it!
It's so abominable, it's like cannibalism without leaving any bones.
In his previous life, Chen An was a second-generation rich man who did whatever he wanted, but he had never done many things that were harmful to the world. At least he had a bottom line.
Lu Hongyi was slightly stunned. Looking at Chen An, who was speaking righteously, passionately, and full of righteousness, Lu Hongyi was a little surprised. This kid actually had such a righteous side?
But Lu Hongyi said indifferently: "Chen An, you are wrong. The reason why practitioners like me practice is to pursue the supreme path. Other things are illusory and unimportant!"
Chen An's face darkened. "What illusory? The clothes you wear, the hairpins on your head, the shoes on your feet, which one wasn't made by the people? Which one is illusory? Without them, this world would be so desolate!"
After saying this, Chen An sneered, "As the head of the sect, you may be high and mighty, but those who provide you with what you need are still living in dire straits. Do you feel at ease with this? Have you ever thought about this? Even among all of you high and mighty cultivators, which one was born a cultivator? Aren't we all ordinary people like them?"
Chen An pointed at Xing'er who was kneeling on the ground and said, "If Xing'er hadn't entered the Fengshen Gate, she would have been taken over by the tycoons by now, not knowing whether she was alive or dead! You have no idea how dark it is in Long'an Town, at the foot of the Fengshen Gate!"
Lu Hongyi's eyes gradually calmed down. She glanced at Chen An but didn't get angry.
This surprised Chen An a little, and he thought the woman would be furious.
Then, Lu Hongyi said calmly, "Chen An, you did it, but the Fengzi Camp cavalry stationed a hundred miles outside Long'an City will soon be rushing over. Since you did it, you should have thought of a way to deal with it, right?"
Chen An was stunned. He... was responsible for causing trouble. He had never thought of how to deal with this.
He glanced at Lu Hongyi and said, "You are the leader, so of course you make the decision!"
Even though Lu Hongyi had been suppressing her anger, she couldn't help but laugh at this moment: "You caused trouble, and let me, the headmaster, clean up the mess for you. You...re really planning it!"
Chen An said as a matter of course: "If you give me the position of the head, you don't have to worry about it!"
