The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 378: The Demons’ Division, the Talented Girl in the Academy

In a spacious and bright public housing, Chen Ping'an met Fan Zhengheng, the governor of the Weishui Pacification Office.

"Safe and welcome."

Fan Zhengheng had a square face that looked very straight, but the small tuft of beard added a touch of elegance to him.

"Lord Fan." Chen Pingan smiled and bowed.

He was keenly aware of the way Fan Zhengheng addressed him. This was his first formal meeting with Fan Zhengheng. Given Fan Zhengheng's position in the Weishui Pacification Division, there was no need for him to be so cordial.

"Ping An, come on, come on, don't be shy, sit down!"

Fan Zhengheng smiled and waved, motioning for him to sit down. His gestures made people feel like they were in the spring breeze: "Yuanhua, you sit down too."

Fan Zhengheng's enthusiasm was beyond Chen Ping'an's expectations.

The Gu family has such a great influence in the Pacification Bureau! ?
Could just a statement make Fan Zhengheng, the head of the Weishui Pacification Office, behave like this?

Although Chen Pingan was a little confused, he still sat down after hearing what he said. Liu Yuanhua on the side thanked Fan Zhengheng and also sat down.

Soon a special servant came and poured tea for them.

"This Yinyue Flower Tea! You should try it." Fan Zhengheng said with a smile.

Liu Yuanhua glanced at Chen Ping'an and gave him a very timely compliment.

"Master Chen, you don't know that this Yinyue Flower Tea is produced in the Fog Lake in the southern border, and the annual output is only a small amount. It is even less here. Even the noble families in the state capital would not easily take it out to entertain guests.

I am fortunate to be able to taste this fine tea today, all thanks to Master Chen!"

Chen Pingan didn't expect that Liu Yuanhua had such a side. In his impression, Liu Yuanhua had always been a representative of majesty and power. But now in front of Fan Zhengheng, he seemed like a different person.

Chen Pingan picked up the teacup, and before he took a sip, he could smell the floral fragrance, which made him intoxicated. He took a sip and found it refreshing, and it really moistened his lungs, which was wonderful.

Although Chen Ping'an's practice did not rely on external objects, at this moment he also felt that the true energy in his body seemed to be more active.

"Good tea!" Chen Pingan couldn't help but praise.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Fan Zhengheng's face.

With this opening, the subsequent communication between the few people was extremely smooth. During the communication, Chen Pingan thanked Fan Zhengheng for the welcome ceremony he had just arranged for him.

Fan Zhengheng said that it should be so, if the time was not too rushed, the welcome should be bigger. He said that Chen Pingan was the rising star of the Zhenfu Division and the pride of their Weishui Zhenfu Division, and that it was as it should be after his glorious return.

Liu Yuanhua added a few words, mainly to highlight Fan Zhengheng's concern and love for Chen Pingan.

During the conversation, Chen Pingan learned a piece of news.

The latest appointment by the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office promoted him to the position of Deputy Commander of the Weishui Pacification Office. The specific responsibilities will be clarified after the arrival of the special envoy of the Prefecture Pacification Office.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief!?

Although Chen Pingan did not know about this in advance, his expression was calm after hearing the news.

He finally understood why the two of them were so friendly towards him!
Chen Ping'an's indifference made Fan Zhengheng and the others more certain of their thoughts. Chen Ping'an must have known about this matter long ago, so he rushed to Weishui County City in advance.

The Gu family probably attaches more importance to this child than they imagined.

After this matter was clarified, the atmosphere in the venue became more harmonious.

Chen Pingan took advantage of this opportunity to learn about the encirclement and suppression of the evil spirits.

Seeing Chen Ping'an asking about this matter, Fan Zhengheng did not hide anything and told a lot of things.

With the support of the state pacification department at all costs, the encirclement and suppression was extremely smooth, and many strongholds and gangs had been encircled and suppressed. Within the state, the encirclement and suppression network has been formed, and now all fronts are ready to tighten up and try to catch a few big fish.

As everyone watched, a tall, spacious, pitch-black vehicle drove away from the Weishui Pacification Office.

"It seems that the Pacification Bureau will make some big moves in the near future!"

Inside the car frame, Chen Pingan closed his eyes slightly, quietly thinking about what Fan Zhengheng had just said.

The Northern Cang Rebellion made the State Pacification Office furious. They coordinated with various forces and organized a large-scale suppression operation.

This time, the encirclement and suppression is different from the previous ones. The emphasis on results is far greater than the consideration of interests. No cost is spared in the process, and it is obvious that they are serious about it.

There were many calculations involved, layers of deductions, and precise coordination, and finally a good result was achieved! The encirclement and suppression has now reached a white-hot stage. The encirclement and suppression network that has been laid for a long time has taken shape, and the encirclement circles that are interconnected and coordinated are spread all over the Canglongzhou.

Before the encirclement and suppression network was formed, although some evil demons and heretics managed to escape, most of them were still in the encirclement and suppression network. The battle lines were tightened in all aspects, the encirclement was shrunk, and the sweeping patrols were sure to deal a devastating blow to these evil demons and heretics.

During the conversation with Chen Pingan, Fan Zhengheng mentioned that according to the analysis of the existing clues, the branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is also likely to be in the encirclement. Although the true location of the branch has not yet been found, as long as the information is reliable, as the encirclement is tightened little by little, it is only a matter of time to find the branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

The branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect must be manned by top masters! There might even be a pseudo-master!
If we can successfully encircle and suppress them, it will be a feast for the Zhenfu Division!
Chen Pingan only thought about the matter of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect for a moment. For him, the most important thing at the moment was to pick up the little girl from school.

Fortunately, he didn't stay in the Weishui Pacification Office for long, so he should still have time to rush over now!

"Hurry up a little!" Chen Ping'an's voice came from the frame, immediately attracting the respectful response of the coachman and the guards.

"Yes! Your lord!"

Zhang Xinda is a concierge at Weishui School. Although he has a lot of troubles with welcoming and seeing off guests every day, this job has earned him a lot of face in front of his relatives and friends.

Weishui Academy had a great reputation, and being an official concierge who signed contracts directly was already a respectable job that guaranteed a steady income for most people.

"Have you heard that the talented girl in the outer dormitory has already finished all the lessons in the outer dormitory in advance and is ready to move into the inner dormitory to study!"

"Is this true? She's only been here for a short time! And she's already finished all the lessons in the outer dormitory!?"

"I heard it myself from Teacher Han! How could it be false?!"

"That's too much! The outer dormitory has six years of study. Ordinary people study steadily for six years, and many of them stay in the outer dormitory and cannot be promoted to the inner dormitory. She has only studied for less than a year, and she has been promoted ahead of schedule?"

"Otherwise, why do you say she is a talented girl? I'm telling you, I made some inquiries privately. If it weren't for the examination, she would have entered the inner dormitory to study a month ago!"

"If you ask me, after she finishes her six years of studies in the inner dormitory, she might be able to stay in the academy as an assistant teacher, and maybe even become a teacher in the future!"

"."

Apart from the clan schools of the aristocratic families, Weishui Academy was the best academy in Weishui County. Being an assistant teacher here was already a top-notch job in the eyes of ordinary people. If one could become a teacher, it would be considered as half a step into the upper class.

In the lanes where Weishui Academy is located, even the officers dare not easily provoke a teacher in the academy. Some very famous teachers can have a say with the chief officer of the city, or even the commander-in-chief and deputy commander above!

How can others imagine such honor!
Listening to the idle chatter of his colleagues, Zhang Xinda was a little impressed. He also knew the talented girl they were talking about. She was fair-skinned and smart. At first glance, she always had a smile on her face and was polite to everyone, including the concierges.

Zhang Xinda quite liked this little girl. But he seemed to have heard that there was no one to help her at home. She went to and from school alone, and he had never seen anyone pick her up.

However, in their impression, the little girl should have a brother. I remember that he came with her on the day of reporting. But after that, they never saw him again.

The tuition fee of Weishui School was not cheap, and could even be said to be expensive. In order to support the little girl to go to school, her brother must have been busy and exhausted.

"It's not easy!" Zhang Xinda couldn't help but sigh.

However, if he had such a sister, he would try his best to send her to school even if it was hard and tiring, so that she could live a decent life in the future.

Actually, no one would think that the girl's family was ordinary, but her name, Chen Erya, didn't sound like a name that would come from a wealthy family. Speaking of this, there was a story widely circulated in the school, and he had heard it as a joke during his leisure time. When the girl first entered school, the school thought that Erya's name was not nice and did not sound like a name for a scholar. The teacher said that he wanted to change her name. Those who could be teachers in Weishui School were all great scholars. How many people would be eager to hear that the teacher gave her a name.

But the little girl said that the name given by her father should not be changed lightly.

The teacher mentioned that maybe she planned to use this name forever?
The little girl said that when she grows up, she will ask her brother to change her name! Please also know that elegance lies in the person, not the name. If you get a good name, but the person is vulgar, how can you deal with it?

When the teacher heard this, he was furious. He stormed out and said bluntly: "This child is incorrigible!"
"At such a young age, you are able to refute the teacher's instructions. You are indeed a famous talent in the school!"

Well, speaking of which, it seems that the teacher resigned not long after! Was it because he was angry? That shouldn't be the case!
Zhang Xinda thought so.

At this time, it was almost time for the school to end, and many people had gathered around, mostly to pick up their children from school. Some of the rich and powerful families had carriages coming, and servants and maids were waiting beside them.

"Being born as a human being is really very different!" Just when he thought of the situation of the little talented girl and saw the scenes in front of him, his emotions conflicted and Zhang Xinda felt a little emotional.

As more and more students came to study in the school, the gatekeepers no longer had time to slack off and had to run out to maintain order.

Accompanied by a melodious bell, it was finally time to adjourn the class at Weishui Academy.

Students in school uniforms walked out of the school in groups of two or three.

"After a whole day of holding it in, school is finally over!"

"Yeah, school's over. I've been studying all day and my head hurts!"

"I am the same, I am still confused!"

"Hahaha, go back and relax!"

"Well, relax!"

"Ahhh, the good times are here, let's go back and play cuju!"

"Wait! Did you forget something? The instructor has assigned homework! He will check it tomorrow!"

"Oh! It's like a bolt from the blue! No, I'm going to go back and cry to my mother and ask her to give me more allowance!"

"."

The noises are full of youth. For them, this is the most beautiful time in life!

"Erya, we will be classmates in the inner dormitory from now on. Let's communicate more when we have time!"

"Okay, let's communicate more."

"Arya, the teacher only taught it once and you remembered it all! I wish I had your brain~"

"If you study hard, you can do it~"

"Wow, I studied very hard and recited it three times, but I still can't remember it!"

In the crowd, two young and beautiful girls walked out of Weishui Academy side by side.

Chen Erya was wearing a school uniform and carrying a simple bag. Next to her stood a tall and beautiful girl who looked a few years older than her. Although the girl was also wearing a school uniform, she had a lot of decorations on her body, which made her look more eye-catching.

However, most of the people's attention was attracted by Chen Erya. She had completed her studies in the outer dormitory ahead of schedule and entered the inner dormitory to study, which attracted a lot of attention to Chen Erya.

"Look! That's Chen Erya!"

"It looks so small! This must be Neishesheng!"

"A talented girl in the school!"

"."

The voices in the crowd were not deliberately concealed, and Chen Erya naturally heard them, but her expression did not change, and she still looked elegant.

On the contrary, Fu Chunli in front of her showed a hint of envy.

"Miss!" A pretty maid ran over from not far away and said breathlessly, "The master is here to pick you up from school today!"

"Father is here!" Fu Chunli's eyes lit up, and she looked towards the carriage not far away, and sure enough, she saw her father's figure.

"Erya, my family is here to pick me up! See you tomorrow~"

Chen Erya nodded: "Well, see you tomorrow!"

Fu Chunli waved her hand and was about to leave when she suddenly turned her head and said, "By the way, Erya. Remember to come to my house and play when you have time!"

"Well, I'll go when I have time." Chen Erya said with a smile.

"Yes! You must come!" Fu Chunli waved her hand again and turned to walk towards the carriage not far away. The maid beside her quickly followed behind her.

Chen Erya watched Fu Chunli get on the carriage, and when she saw her wave to her, she smiled and waved back. It was not until the carriage curtain fell and she could no longer see her that Chen Erya turned around and prepared to go home.

The two said goodbye and watched the person go away until the figure disappeared from their sight. This is a courtesy!

Fu Chunli sat in the carriage and waved goodbye to Chen Erya until the curtain fell.

Looking at Chen Erya walking home from school alone and herself sitting in the carriage, Fu Chunli felt a sense of superiority in her heart.

"Chun Li, was that man your classmate?" Fu Shenghua worked hard for most of his life to become the wealthy man he is today, and he even has business dealings with some people in the county town.

Compared to his strictness towards his son, he was still very concerned about his daughter as he was old. Otherwise, he would not have taken time out of his busy schedule to come and pick up his daughter in person.

"Yes, the classmate who was just promoted to the inner dormitory today is a well-known talented girl in the school!" Fu Chunli introduced her new friend to her father excitedly.

"Oh? Little Chunli has become friends with the talented girl?" Seeing his daughter's excitement, Fu Shenghua did not pour cold water on her.

"Yes! Father, let me tell you! She finished six years of lessons in the outer dormitory in less than a year! Don't you think this speed is too surprising? It's really exaggerated!" Fu Chunli said with a bit of boasting in her tone.

She felt superiority aside, but she still felt honored to be able to make friends with such a talented woman.

"That's great! Xiao Chunli is really amazing to have such a friend!" Fu Shenghua praised with a smile.

As a daughter of a student, she naturally didn't know that with his current status, it didn't matter whether a woman was talented or not. Not to mention the talented women who were still in school, even the famous teachers in Weishui Academy would be respectful in front of him.

However, there is no need to explain this logic to my daughter.

Fu Chunli seemed very happy that her father gave her enough emotional value. She asked curiously, "By the way, father, how come you have time to pick me up today~"

"There was a banquet tonight, but it was cancelled at the last minute. I just happened to have some free time." Fu Shenghua said with a smile, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

His business encountered some troubles. He spent a lot of energy, mobilized his personal connections, and found a middleman. He finally made an appointment with Lord Zhao Lianzhi of the Weishui Pacification Office.

As long as he can get in touch with this gentleman, the troubles in his business will be a small matter.

He had prepared the banquet carefully for several days, but in the afternoon, the middleman suddenly informed him that Mr. Zhao had something urgent to do, so the banquet was cancelled and would be arranged on another day.

He still hasn't figured out what exactly happened.
