My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 73 Death of the Mountain Master
Oh my god, I’ve become a villain.

When Chen Lang saw this scene, he thought to himself that the atmosphere has become so tense, why don't we just have a few laughs?
But he kept the mission in mind and explained:
"Don't get me wrong, I came here today because I actually hope you will give me the position of mountain master.

Look, I have defended Songhu Mine. Is this merit enough for me to be the owner of the mine?"

The mountain master sneered, "Don't try to play tricks on me. Are you stalling for time? Waiting for my lifespan to burn out and the effects to wear off? You're wrong. I can sustain it for a day without any problem."

“I admit that I am too soft-hearted. Seeing that you have made great contributions in the fight against the Aoki Sect, I don’t want to get rid of you directly. I hope you die on the battlefield.

But you were ruthless and decisive enough to divert the blame. This was my mistake. I lost this battle."

After hearing this, Chen Lang said, "Have you ever thought that if you didn't hide behind and fought together, the result might be different?"

The mountain master said indifferently: "It won't change."

He didn't know what this person was thinking? If he fought side by side against the Pingtian Sect, this person might stab him in the back, kill him, and then kill his entire family.

Once the Pingtian Sect leaves, the mine will be ownerless, and this person will take advantage of it to rise to power, but the consequences for him and his family will be even more dire.

However, he did not hate Chen Lang, because he would do the same if he were in their place.

After the Western leader left, he thought in a semi-comatose state, why did he lose?
Then he realized that it was because he had a family, parents, and children, and he had too many concerns and too many things to consider.

If he was alone and the Western leader attacked, he could just leave and make a comeback after looting, but it happened that his family, brothers, and relatives were all there.

The moment the Western Leader and four other masters appeared, he had no way to retreat and could only fight to the death.

He lost to time, lost to years, and lost because he had too much.

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the position of mountain master." Chen Lang put his hands in his pockets, with no intention of taking action.

He didn't know how to get through this level. Shan Zhu was a rookie and he could have killed him with one strike. But now he was too powerful and he didn't want to fight.

Moreover, he felt that killing people was impolite, and the mission description said that it should be "giving up the throne" rather than "seizing power."

Could it be that I have to pass CG?

This second question left the mountain master at a loss. He was stunned for a while and didn't understand what Chen Lang meant, but it was obvious that he saw that Chen Lang had no intention of taking action.

So he restrained his momentum and said, "Okay, but you have to let my family leave safely and don't do anything to them."

"Okay." Chen Lang nodded.

The mountain master turned his head and said, "You all, leave the mountain quickly and return to Fang County."

That's his hometown.

"Second brother, you."

"Don't worry about me." said the mountain master.

Everyone evacuated in an orderly manner.

The mountain owner didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the last person left. His last wish had been fulfilled. He accumulated a lot of wealth for his family, enough for them to make a living.

"I don't have much time left, so I don't have time to report to the Tianjian Sect on your behalf. The mountain master has been replaced. The documents are all in the camp, you can get them yourself. When the time comes, an envoy will come, and you can tell him that you are the new mountain master from today on." said the mountain master.

In the end, Chen Lang was successfully tricked, and the mountain master was in a better mood. This kind of casual remark was not considered a transaction.

"Yeah, I got it."

Chen Lang nodded, feeling that something was missing. "By the way, where are the guards?" "They all ran away. You can recruit them back when the time comes."

"Okay, you can go." Chen Lang went back and quickly found the documents, seals, etc., which also had the seal of the Tianjian Sect on it.

But when I opened the system, there was still no prompt that the task was completed. I don’t know which part is not yet completed. Do I really have to kill him?

Chen Lang returned along the same route. The mountain master was still there. He was holding a sword, sitting beside the cliff, looking at the half-set sunlight, motionless.

"Why don't you leave?" Chen Lang asked. His family had already gone far away.

"I don't have much time left, and I don't want them to see me like this."

Chen Lang nodded. Since he was not leaving, he planned to ask how to be the mountain master. When he became the mountain master in the future, he would definitely need some management experience.

"How much can a mountain master earn in a year?" Chen Lang asked.

"We can mine about 130 million spirit stones, half of which will be handed over to the Tianjian Sect, and the rest can be used by you." The mountain master said, there was nothing to hide.

"You earn quite a lot, why do you pay so little to your subordinates?"

Chen Lang calculated that if he handed over half and kept the other half, that would be more than 60 spirit stones. If he assumed that there were 200 guards and each of them earned 200 spirit stones per month, there would still be more than spirit stones left. This number was astonishing enough. No wonder he was able to support a large family.

The mountain master sneered, "Is this not enough? Besides being in name only and occasionally sending a few people to help, what else has the Tianjian Sect done?
I am the only one who bears all the risks and disasters, and I also have to please them to keep my position.

The people of the Tianjian Sect only care about their own interests and schemes. They use me as a tool, but have they ever spent a penny to train me? Why should I train servants and keep them as their own?
I might as well make as much money as I can while I'm still young. I've been doing this for so many years, and even if I die, I've made enough money."

Chen Lang nodded. People have to make money with conscience, but they can make more without conscience.

However, he was thinking, if he became the mountain master, could he not recruit guards? Anyway, he could kill a group of them by himself, so he could save on wages and earn 500,000 or 600,000 spirit stones a year.

Mining is really a lucrative business.

But then he thought again that his vision was still too small, and he felt that it would be better to kill the alchemists. Although he could make a lot of money by killing the unscrupulous, he could make even more money by killing the unscrupulous. With a simple move, he got 400,000 spirit stones.

Moreover, he couldn't stay in the mine forever and occupy the land as the king, so he had to do it the old way.

Chen Lang asked some more questions, and the mountain master answered them one by one without hiding anything. After a while, Chen Lang left.

He returned to Songhu Mine and called the remaining members of Team 7, as well as Mr. Jin and the others to come. From today on, he was the new owner of Yanxi Mine.

However, all the guards who were still alive had run away, and the miners were also missing. Chen Lang wanted to go back and ask.

But when he saw the mountain master again, he was facing one direction, motionless. Chen Lang shouted twice, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the skinny body fell stiffly to the ground.

"Dead?" Mr. Jin was surprised. He suspected that he was doomed to fail. No matter which family he worked for, the head of the family would die suddenly.

So he thought about it and said sincerely: "Brother Lang, I have been wandering all my life, and the world is my home, but from today on, I will follow you. I am willing to protect the mine and maintain peace."

Chen Lang took a look at the body and said, "Give it a proper burial."

He had a complicated mentality towards this mountain master. Perhaps it was to prevent Chen Lang from attacking his family, or perhaps it was just a last-ditch emotion. The mountain master told him some things that made him see through some things, which could be considered as some guidance.

He did not regret anything he had done, he had to use special means so that he could complete the task so easily, because those who followed the rules would die miserably.
