The Supreme Wild Young Master-Chapter 596: The Sect’s Scheme_1
Chapter 596: Chapter 596: The Sect’s Scheme_1
TianDu City, Lingxiao Mountain Manor, in a particular room.
Zhang Xian sat behind his desk, thoroughly going through a stack of documents.
These were reports on several manors under construction, including the one on the island off the coast of Huaxia. Months had passed, and the construction sites had begun to take shape, each resembling a manor now.
However, his rapid progress had also emptied his pockets. The money he had made from their last venture was almost all used up, including the profits they all made.
"Sigh, time to make more money."
Having arranged the documents, Zhang Xian lamented, "I didn’t feel it before, but now, damn it, money isn’t enough!"
"Zhang Xian, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, Mo Shaoyun walked in, asking, "Do you have time now?"
"I usually have time. What good news have you brought me?" Zhang Xian smirked, "Have you missed me? Do you want something to happen between us?"
Mo Shaoyun rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian, "I have serious business. The general scale of the Sect is now set, do you want to take a look?"
"Well...."
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "I won’t go to the other manors, I trust you guys to handle that. But I need to take a look at the sect personally, there are some things that only I can deal with."
"Then you go with Sister Nan!"
Mo Shaoyun said, "She’s heading there today, and asked me to check if you wanted to go too."
Zhang Xian smiled and asked, "Elder Sister Shaoyun, aren’t you going?"
"What do I need to go over there for?"
Mo Shaoyun shook her head, "I have quite a few things to handle here. I’m in charge of the overall progress of all the manors, I don’t have time to run around with you."
Zhang Xian knew that the women were very busy lately, so he didn’t push it.
Currently, Mo Shaoyun was overseeing the entire progress of all the manors; Fu Meiting was in charge of procurement and scheduling. Xiao Nan, Yao Rao, and Zhu Qing were also busy working on various tasks at the construction site.
Only Dong Qian stayed at home every day.
...
Early spring was here, but the chilling cold had not been completely expelled from the earth.
Over the endless sea, harsh winds howled, making faces sting as if being cut by sharp blades.
Xiao Nan stood on the deck, hands clasped on her chest, looking into the distance, a faint smile crossing her beautiful face, like a blooming white lotus.
"Sister Nan, what’re you thinking about?"
Zhang Xian came out from his room and teased, "Even though your abilities enable you to endure the cold, there is no need to stand here and pretend to be tough."
"What business is it of yours?" Xiao Nan shot Zhang Xian a sideways glare.
Zhang Xian walked up to Xiao Nan, gave her a curious look from head to toe, and grinned craftily.
The start of spring was chilly, and with Xiao Nan wearing a black dress and black stockings, she indeed caught the eyes of many. It didn’t help that they attracted attention everywhere they went.
Seeing couple of women wearing short skirts in the middle of a street where everyone else was heavily bundled up was bound to draw attention, right?
"What are you staring at?"
Xiao Nan furrowed her brows and said, "Don’t tell me, you’re sneakily using your spiritual sense."
"Eh...."
Zhang Xian smiled ruefully and asked, "Sister Nan, what do you mean I’m using my spiritual sense to peek? Have I done it before?"
Xiao Nan retorted, "Who knows if you have. It’s really annoying that you can detect when we use our spiritual sense, but we can’t feel anything when you use yours."
"Haha, isn’t it because I’m more advanced than you guys?"
Zhang Xian moved closer, wrapped his arms around Xiao Nan and said, "Sister Nan, don’t worry, I won’t sneak peeks at you. When I want to look, I will do it openly, and strip you naked."
"You...!" Xiao Nan’s face flushed and she pinched Zhang Xian’s waist.
Zhang Xian winced in pain, held her waist tighter, and asked, "Sister Nan, you haven’t told me what you’ve been thinking about."
"I’m contemplating my life."
Xiao Nan held Zhang Xian’s hand, looking out at the distant ocean, and said, "Life is unpredictable. Before I met you, I thought I’d be devoted to the Tiannan Group my entire life. Given the groups previous state, it was difficult for Shaoyun and me to achieve much, our starting point was too high. After meeting you, everything changed. It all feels surreal."
"Is it that serious?"
Zhang Xian said, "Everything we have now is real. And remember, this is just the beginning."
"I know."
Xiao Nan nodded, turned to look at Zhang Xian and asked, "Zhang Xian, can you tell me about your ultimate goal?"
"Well...."
Zhang Xian pondered and then confessed, "Sister Nan, to be honest, I don’t even have an ultimate goal, or any ambition of what heights I want to reach. All that I want to do is protect you all."
Xiao Nan was stunned, and then fell silent.
"Ding dong dong...."
Suddenly, a mobile phone ringtone blared.
Zhang Xian pulled out his phone, answered and asked, "Master, what good thing brings you to call me?"
"Lord Zhang, I have some good news to share with you, would you like to hear it?"
Zhang Xian asked with a smile, "What’s the good news?"
"Our Ancient Sect is preparing for a fight against God’s Advocate. After the previous auction, many of our people vanished, and numerous sects have expressed their intentions of confronting God’s Advocate."
"Really?" Zhang Xian’s eyes lit up, like two light bulbs.
How powerful God’s Advocate truly was, he still hadn’t a full understanding. If he had the help of the Ancient Sect, things would undoubtedly be easier.
After all, he hadn’t begun to expand his power yet, and was certainly at a disadvantage when confronting God’s Advocate.
"Indeed, it’s been decided. I know you want to overthrow God’s Advocate. I have some understanding of this organization - it cannot continue to grow unchallenged. We can join forces against them."
Zhang Xian asked with a smile, "So this is the real reason for your call?"
"What else did you think? Don’t tell me you want to take on God’s Advocate alone instead of cooperating with us?"
Zhang Xian said, "I must confess, I do not currently intend to cooperate with your Ancient Sect. You should be more aware than I of the values of the sects."
"Yes, their personal desires are indeed strong, which can complicate cooperation. But as things stand, facing God’s Advocate with just our strengths is practically impossible."
Zhang Xian replied, "That’s okay, I’m not in a hurry. We can discuss this another time. When the time comes, they will naturally unify."
"Lord Zhang, are you suggesting that even if all of our Ancient Sects united, we might not be able to defeat God’s Advocate?"
Zhang Xian replied, "I didn’t say that. However, while you’re in the open, they’re hidden. If they dare to attack you, they’re not afraid of your revenge, are they?"
"True. God’s Advocate is indeed very mysterious."
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "Master, don’t worry. There won’t be much time left for God’s Advocate to act pompous."
"Haha, good, I will be waiting for your good news. As for us, if you’re not participating, we will make a move against God’s Advocate first. I’m curious to see just how powerful God’s Advocate is."
"Alright, you go ahead first. I’ll back you up from behind." Zhang Xian smiled, then hung up the phone.
As for any cooperation, he had no intention of involving himself at the moment. The members of the Ancient Sect, before experiencing the strength of God’s Advocate, would not be honest. Being an outsider, he had no need to join in the excitement. With this opportunity, he could observe from the sidelines the actual strength of both the Ancient Sect and God’s Advocate.
"Something happened again?" asked Xiao Nan.
Zhang Xian replied, "Nothing much, just a friend sharing some good news."
Xiao Nan smiled brightly at Zhang Xian and said, "Since it’s good news, shouldn’t you share it with everyone?"
"Hehe..."
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "It’s really nothing. Simply put, the Ancient Sect and God’s Advocate are about to clash."
Xiao Nan exclaimed happily, "Really? Wouldn’t that make things much easier for you?"
"I guess so!"
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "The ship has reached the shore, let’s get off and see how the construction is progressing."
Xiao Nan extended her hand and said, "Carry me down."
Zhang Xian picked up Xiao Nan around her waist, jumped, and gracefully landed on the island.
Today was his third visit to this small island. The first time, he had a conflict with God’s Advocate. The second time, he discovered a base being constructed here.
The third time, which was now, the island already belonged to them. Significant changes had already taken place on the island.
From a distance, through the dense woods, you could vaguely make out some buildings. Although they were still mere frameworks, you could already sense a hint of grandeur.
"How is it?"
Halfway up the hill, Xiao Nan asked with a smile, "I’ve been here before and I think it’s great. The distribution of the buildings is very uniform, and it looks very grand."
"Well, it’s pretty good," Zhang Xian replied, nodding.
Xiao Nan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian and said, "You really have no shame. You designed it, and you’re saying it’s good?"
"Er... I didn’t mean that." Zhang Xian shook his head with a smile.
He knew nothing about architectural design. However, the design of his sect was based on Formation evolution. With the refinement by the predecessors, the constructed sect should not be too shabby.
At least for now, it seemed fine. It gave an overall impression of low-key sophistication, yet not lacking grandeur. It was ordinary, yet revealed extraordinary features. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Hey, you said before that you didn’t allow any changes. Why?" Xiao Nan asked curiously.
When Zhang Xian first handed over the blueprint, he firmly insisted that the villa was to be built strictly according to the design. She had always been curious, wondering if there was some trick involved.
"You didn’t tell me you made changes," Zhang Xian looked at Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan shook her head, "I didn’t change yours! I’m just curious why you wouldn’t let me change it. That doesn’t seem like your style."
"As long as you didn’t change it."
Zhang Xian laughed, "Of course, Sister Nan, I’m not targeting you, not allowing you to change. It’s just that this sect was built according to the arrangement of the Formations. If altered, it would be hard to set up the Formations."
"Formations?"
Xiao Nan stared wide-eyed, "Zhang Xian, are you planning another major project?"
