All sects work

Chapter 212 Phoenix Fire (3)

In the study, Bai Xuexing, dressed in a black Taoist robe, was busy processing official documents. His hair was as white as frost, and his black hair was no longer visible.

He noticed two more presences in the room, and just as he was about to look up, he saw someone put a cup of tea in front of him.

"Take a break." said Shi Xuanying.

Bai Xuexing saw her face and was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He stood up and said, "Sir."

This kind of reaction... the degree of assimilation by the dust is quite deep!
Yan Cui piled a pile of documents next to the desk: "Things to do next month."

"Okay." Bai Xuexing nodded and looked at Shi Xuanying, "What's the important matter, sir?"

Fortunately, Bai Xue still has the attitude of "if you have something to say, please tell me quickly and don't delay my work."

Master Xuanying understood the progress of his assimilation and only instructed him, "Master, please pay more attention to the celestial phenomena recently and leave the matters at hand to Liu Zhubu and others."

Bai Xuexing suddenly realized that he hadn't been stargazing for a long time. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Okay."

Shi Xuanying nodded.

His mind was unstable, so he could easily notice any subtle changes, but it was difficult to judge the conditions of other people.

At the moment, Dongfang Zhentian and Jiang Chuixing seem to be fine for the time being, but Yan Cui has shown obvious signs of being assimilated.

Shi Xuanying had not known Yan Cui for long and did not know him very well, but many sword practitioners advocated abstinence and restraint when it came to cultivating their souls. Although Yan Cui had the innate conditions and did not need to cultivate such "minor paths", being in the Sword Sect would more or less affect his actions, and it would have been unlikely for him to have said those words to Bai Xuexing before.

The arrow is on the string, and it is time to wrestle with the rules of heaven.

The two counties entered a stage of rapid development under Yan Cui. Nowadays, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people are living in dire straits. As the two counties take in a large number of disaster victims, their reputation has spread.

Fortunately, it has not attracted the attention of those in power for the time being.

The two counties are remote, and most people subconsciously think that the reason they can become places to avoid disasters is mainly due to their geographical location. As for the rumor of Xinu repairing the sky, it is just a rumor after all, and there is not even a "divine object". Reporting it would only make those in power smile. It is not as eye-catching as the Tao County caravan that is full of mid- and high-level martial artists.

Hiring martial artists as bodyguards was not new. Which powerful noble or merchant didn't have eight or ten of them? It was just that they were not all mid-level or above like the Tao County caravan.

The special features of the two counties spread widely among martial artists and disaster victims, and people came to seek refuge one after another. Especially after Master Xuanying distributed spiritual fruits, suddenly many cultivators came to the government office to ask if they were still recruiting.

The abnormal behavior of a large number of low- and middle-level cultivators soon attracted the attention of high-level cultivators. Recently, several martial artists who were proud of their high cultivation broke into the county government office at night and were caught by Yan Cui.

"My lord! You are finally back!" When County Magistrate Cao saw Shi Xuanying, he felt like seeing a relative, "I can't hold on any longer!" County Magistrate Cao's ability in handling government affairs is beyond words. He can still handle it with ease even when he is madly exploited by Yan Cui. However, he can't do anything about the affairs of the cultivators. Those gentlemen will not rest even if they are locked up in jail.

Shi Xuanying looked at the people hanging on the trees in the courtyard and asked, "Why are they tied to the trees?"

The five people's ankles were tied with ropes and hung high and low on tree branches like lanterns, swaying in the wind.

"It turned out that they were in the prison. The master even set up a barrier, but these people took advantage of the time when the jailer was delivering water and ran back to the government office to steal things..."

A tall, thin middle-aged man on the tree stared at his legs and swayed, saying dissatisfiedly: "Hey, sir, we just came in to take a look, we didn't steal anything!"

"You don't want to steal? You can't steal!" County Magistrate Cao said angrily, "You are a bunch of thieves!"

"what?"

County Magistrate Cao's reaction attracted inquiring glances from several people on the tree.

Because just now, County Magistrate Cao dared to be angry but not to say anything to them. It was obvious that the assistant secretary in the yamen was a great master who played them in the palm of his hand, but he still had no confidence. But when this girl came, he seemed to have found his backbone and dared to scold them.

However, they exchanged glances, and no one sensed the aura of a monk from the girl.

The tall and thin man looked around: "Who is this... Sir?"

He had just clearly heard County Magistrate Cao calling her "Sir." It was said that the magistrate of Tao County was a female. Could it be this one?
"This is our county magistrate!" said County Magistrate Cao.

Shi Xuanying looked at them one by one and said with a smile: "You are all hung here because of your own abilities."

Everyone: There is reason to suspect that she is mocking us.

"Since Master didn't kill you directly, but hung you here, I guess you must have some ability worthy of his attention." Shi Xuanying snapped his fingers, and the ropes on several people loosened, and they fell straight to the ground in a head-down position.

"Bah bah bah!"

Several people struggled to climb out of the mud, and their eyes began to roll around. Because their faces were covered with black dirt, the whites of their eyes were particularly obvious, and one could tell at a glance what bad things they were planning.

"I advise you all to be honest. Not everyone is as gentle as Master."

That master is gentle? I have never heard such a good joke in my life.
