At dusk, on the official road, several horses galloped past.
Zi Yan is wearing a white gauze dress and a conical hat, and her main feature is her heroic appearance.
After galloping recklessly for a while, Zi Yan gradually slowed down. At this time, someone came up from behind, whipping his horse and walking side by side with Zi Yan, saying, "Lady Saint, you are such a good rider!"
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your compliments. I feel really uneasy that you have to come here in person for such a small matter."
"What are you talking about, Lady Saint? This is all for the Holy Church! Speaking of which, Lady Saint was able to capture Lu Chen with her strategy this time, and everyone in the Holy Church praised her. Even the Master, who had been in seclusion, came out after hearing the news."
"Because of this matter, the leader's cultivation of divine power was interrupted. It is Zi Yan's fault."
"The leader said that while divine power is important, if Lu Chen can help, the Holy Church will be more confident in conquering the world of Da Qi, so Lu Chen must be brought to the Holy Church headquarters."
After hearing this, Zi Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth hidden in her hat. She had finally caught the person, why should you let him go with just one word?
I'm being polite to you, you don't really think I'm a pushover, do you?
"Lu Chen is a cunning man. I just caught him and I don't know his moves yet. I must keep him in Yangzhou for a while to train him. Once I tame his rebellious nature, it won't be too late to send him to the leader."
After hearing this, Master Liu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "This matter is not important. It's okay to talk about it after we meet Lu Chen."
After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "Lady Saint, now that you've captured Lu Chen, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the capital. What are your plans next?"
"Of course, I will continue to contribute to my Holy Church. I plan to take root in Yangzhou and use it as a springboard to extend the reach of our Holy Church northward, ideally reaching the capital region of Great Qi."
"Uh...Lady Saint is truly ambitious. Has she ever considered doing something for the Holy Church headquarters?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I think I can better exert my subjective initiative at the grassroots level."
Young Master Liu was stunned by the new word that Zi Yan suddenly came up with. He even began to suspect that he had not heard of this word because he had not read enough.
Although he had never heard of this word and couldn't figure out what it meant in the short term, he always felt that this word seemed very powerful.
If you don't even understand what others are saying, then there's no point in continuing the conversation.
So Mr. Liu could only pretend to smile nonchalantly, find an excuse and ride away.
After he left, Zi Yan's face hidden in her hat became even uglier. She didn't expect that this time when she returned to the headquarters, not only would she be questioned by some people, but she would also bring back such a disaster.
At this time, Zi Yan's people came up and asked, "Lady Saint, what on earth is the grandson of the Holy Sect's Grand Elder doing here this time?"
"Haha, what are you doing? Of course you're holding back! You must be here to cause trouble and then find an excuse to cut the funding for our Yangzhou branch."
When Zi Yan's subordinates heard that the man surnamed Liu was actually here to do such a thing, they immediately flew into a rage and said, "Damn it! When our Yangzhou branch was suffering from the epidemic, there was no help from the headquarters. In the end, it was you, the Saint Lady, who was close to the water and got the medicine to treat malaria first, which saved our entire Holy Church."
"Now that these bastards have recovered from their illness, they've actually resorted to such ungrateful behavior. They're worse than animals! If he dares to show off in our Yangzhou branch, I'll bring my brothers and kill this pretty boy!"
"Anyway, the world is in turmoil these days. If someone dies and is thrown into a ravine, the tigers and leopards in the forest will quickly eat the body clean, leaving no evidence!"
Looking at her subordinates who were full of banditry, Zi Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, let's see what they plan to do first. I believe that I have never done anything to let down the Holy Church over the years. For the Holy Church, I, a dignified Saint, have been in such a brothel in the capital and have been hypocritically flattering stinky men. I have done a lot for the Holy Church."
"If they're really blind and want to do something, then don't blame me for being ruthless. You're right, a bunch of losers who can't handle things on their own, and now they dare to show their teeth to me."
After saying this, Zi Yan sighed again, her tone filled with melancholy as she said, "It's also my fault. The credit for healing so many brothers in the Holy Church is really too great. Now that the credit has been taken by me alone, my reputation in the Holy Church has risen to a new level. They should be nervous."
"Lady Saint, how can you be blamed for this? If you hadn't intervened, countless people in our Holy Church would have died. Those who survived this time are all grateful to you, Lady Saint, for your kindness."
"Don't worry, Saint Lady. We've got the Yangzhou branch under our thumb. They're all our own people. As long as we raise the flag, everyone will respond! If they dare to make any move, we'll chop them into pieces!"
Zi Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She was really looking forward to returning to the Yangzhou branch.
Meanwhile, after Young Master Liu returned to his group, someone immediately approached him and asked, "Young Master, how did the conversation with that witch go?"
Liu Kang snorted coldly and said, "That witch has indeed turned traitor. I asked her for Lu Chen, but she actually shirked her responsibility and refused to hand him over!"
