On the flying boat, Ming Fuqian looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
"The waters of Yunzhong Prefecture run deep. I hope Junior Brother Zhang can keep them in check."
An elderly man who looked like a butler shook his head and said.
"It's hard to say. Although I can't see through the cultivation level of this new garrison commander, he hasn't been cultivating for very long, so he probably won't be very strong. On the other hand, the He family is suspicious in every way, and they have someone backing them up. I'm afraid he won't be able to control them."
The aura emanating from this steward was even stronger than that of Ming Fuqian, clearly indicating that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
When Ming Fuqian took office as the garrison commander of Yunzhong, the Ming family specially arranged for an elder to come with him to assist him in handling affairs.
Upon hearing the butler's words, Ming Fuqian nodded, indicating that he also agreed with this view.
"Forget about him, as long as we can get out of this mess, that's fine."
"If we leave like this, won't something bad happen?"
The elderly man, who looked like a butler, still asked with some unease.
“That’s none of our business. I’ve said everything I needed to say, and I even reminded him to be careful of the He family.”
The butler stood silently to the side, and after a while, he tentatively asked again.
"Young master, do you think the He family might be colluding with the Demon God Cult?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Fuqian was startled and quickly denied it.
"Impossible. They don't have that kind of guts. If their collusion with the Demon God Cult is exposed, their entire clan will be wiped out. The He family must understand that."
In the Yu Fan Heaven World, other matters can still be discussed, but once it is confirmed that they are colluding with the Demon God Cult, they will surely die.
No matter how powerful a force is, it must be eradicated completely. The Dao Sheng Sect never hesitates to take such actions.
"That's what the butler said leisurely."
"I hope I'm wrong."
The flying boat arrived at the teleportation hall, and the group of people quickly teleported away.
...
Zhang Yuhe sat in the inner room, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
Even a hero needs three helpers; it's clear that he couldn't manage the entire Yunzhong Prefecture by himself.
But who to ask for help is a question worth pondering.
According to Ming Fuqian, the Qian and Sun families each have disciples cultivating in the outer sect of the Daosheng Sect, which should be considered reliable.
As for the other three, that's not good.
Zhang Yuhe largely agreed with this statement. If a member of the family is cultivating in a sect, it is obviously because they want to integrate into it, and they generally won't cause trouble.
As for the He and Li families, that's hard to say.
According to Ming Fuqian, both families also wanted to send disciples to join the sect, but they generally did not have the connections and were unsuccessful.
Zhang Yuhe completely disbelieved this claim.
Although the Dao Sheng Sect has very high standards for recruiting disciples, ordinary people have absolutely no way to get in touch with them.
However, the He and Li families are both lineages with a history of tens of thousands of years, yet they have never produced an outer disciple, which is highly suspicious.
Is it because I'm not naturally gifted?
Absolutely impossible.
These two families are powerful and have countless members. Over the years, it's impossible that they haven't produced any outstanding members.
Perhaps they simply didn't want to join the Dao Sheng Sect, and even wanted to deliberately keep their distance from it.
If that's the case, then there's a big problem.
Although the Dao Sheng Sect has dominated Yu Fan Tian for countless years, it has always acted fairly.
For all factions, sending their disciples to join the Dao Sheng Sect is only beneficial and has no drawbacks.
However, the He and Li families were unwilling.
What does this tell us?
This shows that they are doing something wrong, and for quite some time, because they are afraid that their family members will be exposed if they enter the Dao Sheng Sect.
"Could they be colluding with the Demon God Cult?"
After a moment of imagining, Zhang Yuhe came to this conclusion, which really startled him.
"It seems I really need to be more careful from now on."
Zhang Yuhe slowly recalled what Ming Fuqian had said to him, and he had always felt that there was something more to Ming Fuqian's words.
Looking back now, perhaps Ming Fuqian had already sensed something, but without concrete evidence, he couldn't report it to the sect and ask them to send support.
He felt he couldn't afford to offend them, so he made up an excuse to leave.
He's close to a breakthrough and needs to return to his sect for seclusion.
That's bullshit.
While breaking through to a higher realm requires finding a place rich in spiritual energy, it doesn't necessarily mean returning to the sect.
Although the spiritual energy in the garrison is not as good as that of a sect, it is not bad either, and it is enough to support a Nascent Soul cultivator's breakthrough.
Otherwise, how would the inner disciples who go out to guard the area cultivate during their term of office, since they are either at the Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation stage?
Zhang Yuhe felt that a crisis was looming over him.
"Stay calm, don't panic."
He silently comforted himself.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuhe stood up abruptly and shouted.
"Someone come here."
A young girl in a blue dress quickly walked in.
"What are your orders, sir?"
Zhang Yuhe looked her up and down. Although the girl in green was pretty, her cultivation level was only the ninth level of Qi Refining. What could someone with such a weak cultivation level do?
Is there nobody in the entire naval base?
Zhang Yuhe remained silent for a moment, then asked the girl in green.
"May I have your name?"
The girl in green thought Zhang Yuhe had some ulterior motive, so she could only lower her head and reply.
"My name is Qian Lingling."
"Your surname is Qian? What's your relationship with the Qian family?"
Upon hearing that the girl in blue was surnamed Qian, Zhang Yuhe became very interested.
“I am from a branch of the Qian family, and my elders arranged for me to serve you gentlemen in the mansion.”
Zhang Yuhe nodded.
As expected, he was from the Qian family. The fact that the Qian family arranged for him to be stationed at the garrison headquarters clearly indicates their intention to be close to him.
As for the purpose of gathering information?
Mingfu isn't that stupid.
If he couldn't trust them, would he let them in?
"Has everyone else in the manor left?"
Looking at the empty garrison headquarters, Zhang Yuhe was speechless.
Although he prefers peace and quiet, he should still clarify things first.
Only when everything is arranged properly can he focus on his cultivation.
Otherwise, you wouldn't even know if someone came to your door to beat you up one day.
"Most people followed Lord Ming and left, but the servants in the manor are still here."
It means there's no one left.
All the capable workers have left, and those who remain are just servants. What use are these servants to him?
"Forget it, let's gather everyone together for a meeting first."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe took out his identity jade token, placed it on the table, and said.
"Take my jade token and inform Qian, Sun, Li, He, and the Fengxinlou family to come over for a meeting first thing tomorrow morning."
"ah……"
When Qian Lingling saw Zhang Yuhe take out his identity jade token, she was completely stunned.
How could the garrison commander's identity jade token be easily handed over to someone else?
"What do you mean 'ah'? Go quickly."
The identity jade tokens of Dao Sheng Sect disciples all retain their personal aura.
It's not very useful for others to have it, as they can't use its functions.
Moreover, the jade pendant has a tracking function, so it's not afraid of being taken away.
Zhang Yuhe had no one else available, so he had to send Qian Lingling on the trip.
It's impossible for him, the garrison commander, to personally go door-to-door to notify each household to attend the meeting.
Doesn't he have any pride?
