Chapter 194: Chapter 112 Fairy’s Training! Ling Ningzhi Can’t Hold It In Anymore! (6K)

Golden Vase Pavilion.

Within the private room of the tavern, Jian Yinsan and Yan Linghu sat facing each other.

Compared to the previous few times of generous hospitality, there were neither fine wines nor beauties this time, and the air was somewhat oppressive.

Jian Yinsan’s cheeks were gaunt, his expression despondent, looking as if he had lost his soul.

During this period, he had been cooperating with investigations at the Judicial Inspector Office.

Although no substantial evidence of embezzlement was found against him, through the confessions of subordinates and scrutiny of official documents, he was ultimately charged with dereliction of duty and corroding government politics.

His salary was suspended for half a year, his rank was demoted from a Secondary Fifth-Rank to a Sixth-Rank, and he was reassigned to the Experience Department to oversee logistics, while the tasks related to the Government were handed over to Li Kui.

From then on, there was no place for him within the Fire Department!

Completely ousted!

"Vice Thousand Households Jian, oh, that’s not right, it should be Jian Doushi now."

Yan Linghu shook his head and sneered, "Initially, you personally promised me that it would take no more than two months to bring down Chen Mo, but what’s the result? Not only did you fail to accomplish the task, but you’ve dragged yourself down instead."

Jian Yinsan’s face flushed with embarrassment, and he said in a low voice, "Indeed, there was a hiccup, I never expected the Six Gates to assist Chen Mo with the case, forcing his case closure rate to soar..."

"Enough, I didn’t call you here to listen to your explanations."

Yan Linghu waved his hand impatiently, "I won’t make life difficult for you either. Just return the silver you took from me in full, and I will pretend nothing ever happened."

So he was here to collect a debt?

Jian Yinsan looked slightly constrained.

Indeed, he had embezzled quite a bit over the years, but to hit the Divine Sea Realm, he nearly invested it all into Spiritual Marrow and Alchemy Pills.

Last time Chen Mo even "extorted" three thousand taels from him, and with the bribes he spread around recently, his savings were drained; now he couldn’t even produce a hundred taels...

"What, Lord Jian still wants to default on the debt?"

Yan Linghu’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flickering within.

Jian Yinsan swallowed, finding it hard to speak, "Young Master Yan is mistaken, I have no such intention, it’s just that things have been quite tight recently... cough cough, although I fumbled this time, please rest assured, young master, there will be long days ahead, I definitely won’t let Chen Mo off the hook!"

The Experience Department, mainly responsible for the archiving of official documents, records of affairs, and transmission of intelligence.

There was plenty of room to trip up Chen Mo!

Yan Linghu glanced at him disdainfully.

Such a fool, even now he fails to see the situation clearly.

Chen Mo had taken down the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Lv Bojun had not made any move till now, which was enough to illustrate the problem!

Even a second-grade official had to compromise, yet a mere Sixth-Rank official still harbored delusions of thwarting Chen Mo?

"What you want to do is none of my concern, I just want to retrieve my silver," Yan Linghu said indifferently.

Jian Yinsan did not expect his attitude to change so quickly, and with a troubled expression, he said, "But I really can’t right now..."

"If you have no silver, you can compensate with other things."

"Land deeds, Spiritual Materials, Magical Treasures, Alchemy Pills... I’ll take everything on your list, oh right, there has been a lot of commotion in the Donghua Region recently, you could try your luck there, you just need to grab some fortune to pay off your debt, and you might even break through to fourth-rank."

Yan Linghu’s demeanor seemed smiling, but his tone was icy cold as he tapped his fingers on the table, "I’ll give you five days - not a tael less, otherwise don’t blame me for being unsympathetic!"

With that, he stood up and left.

Jian Yinsan’s face darkened, looking very unpleasant.

Yan Linghu was ruthless and would stop at nothing, and without the Vice Thousand Households title, he simply couldn’t provoke him...

In just a few short months, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes, his career cut short, years of accumulation ruined in an instant, and now he was left with a huge debt...

And all of this, because of Chen Mo!

The hatred in his heart blazed fiercely, not even the water from the three rivers and five lakes could extinguish it!

However, thinking of Chen Mo’s background, which seemed even stronger than Yan Linghu’s, even being able to have the Eastern Royal Palace issue an edict, he again despondently lowered his head.

"Forget it, better think of how to repay the money first..."

...

...

This trip to the Donghua Region, Chen Mo only told Li Yuan.

To avoid being targeted, he also disguised himself, putting on a loose Daoist robe, a white bone mask, and added a Concealing Ring to hide his aura; probably even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.

Before leaving the Capital City, Chen Mo made a special trip to the Shen Residence.

The last meeting in the bathhouse was a bit awkward, and due to being too busy recently, he forgot to return the Serpent Bone Gloves to Shen Zhixia...

Only to find out that Shen Zhixia had gone out for training, not to return for several days.

She had also left him a letter, roughly stating: during her absence, he was not to engage in flirtations with General Li, and at most, they could hold hands...

Chen Mo shook his head.

He and Li Yuan knew each other well, while Chong’er sister still remained clueless...

Her information was too outdated!

After returning, he would need to update her with a patch!

The letter also mentioned that she had a friend who had come to Tiandu City, and she would introduce them when the opportunity arose.

However, Shen Zhixia especially emphasized that her friend was a Heavenly Immortal with the beauty that could overthrow cities and states, warning Chen Mo not to harbor any amorous thoughts, or she would ignore him forever!

"Hehe, I’m someone who soloed the Frozen Sky Palace, took on Succubi head-on, and captured fierce tigers, what kind of stunning beauty haven’t I seen? Isn’t that underestimating me a tad too much?"

Chen Mo didn’t take it seriously, and after making all the arrangements, he left Tiandu City, heading in the direction of the Donghua Region.

...

...

The Donghua Region is located in the east of Great Yuan, bordered by Qing Province to the east and Central State to the west, with a bow-like terrain and the Canglan River stretched across it like a bowstring from north to south.

And as the highest peak, Cangyun Mountain was situated right at the spine of the bow.

With the aid of the Swift Movement Talisman, Chen Mo traveled day and night, and in just two days, he reached Wuyang County, the closest to Cangyun Mountain.
