God of Pets

Chapter 368 Old Pill King

After receiving the intelligence, Xiu Jieming narrowed his eyes slightly: "This guy is indeed a born leader. His vision and ability to use people are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Xiu Jieming read the intelligence report several times before finally putting it down. His eyes were somewhat vacant, as if he was pondering something important.

Almost simultaneously, Xiu Yingmei was also in her room, looking at this intelligence report.

"That's really impressive. Someone like that shouldn't be doing this kind of thing." Xiu Yingmei was also thinking about whether she should bring Chen Guan back to the Xiu family instead of letting him stay with Ji Nanhong.

At the same time, many people in the Heavenly Court Army and even the Ancestral Court were looking at this intelligence report, studying the seemingly miraculous results of the battle over and over again.

"Who would have thought that Miss Ji would casually pick up a Joker card?" In an office in the ancestral court, a man in uniform, holding intelligence in one hand and a thermos in the other, sighed after putting down the intelligence.

"This Chen Guan is indeed quite something; he managed to win all of these matches." An elderly man wearing reading glasses, sitting opposite them, said with a complicated expression after taking off his glasses.

“It’s going to be difficult for us to deal with him,” the man said thoughtfully.

"Why do you find it difficult?" the old man asked.

“With Chen Guan’s talent, the Ji family will definitely do everything in their power to protect him. It will be difficult for us to find an opportunity to take action against him. We can’t touch him without a solid case,” the man said.

"Little Hu, why do you think the Ji family will do everything in their power to protect him?" The old man held the water cup with both hands, took a sip, and then slowly said.

"Ji Nanhong wanted to seize control of the Heavenly Court Army, but his chances were originally slim. With Chen Guan's help, his chances have increased significantly. If the Ji family doesn't protect him, who else can they protect?" the man said.

The old man squinted and smiled, "What you said is not wrong. If Ji Nanhong were a man and Chen Guan were a woman, the Ji family would indeed protect Chen Guan. It's a pity that Ji Nanhong is a woman and Chen Guan is a man, so the outcome might not be the same."

"Director, do you mean the Ji family is afraid that Chen Guan will usurp their place and exploit their descendants?" The man suddenly realized something.

The old man took another sip of water before speaking: "If it were me, and Chen Guan were merely a capable assistant, I would definitely do everything in my power to protect him. But what Chen Guan has shown now is not as simple as a capable assistant. Such a person is frightening. I don't know if Commander Ji is afraid, but if it were me, I would definitely be afraid, afraid that the Heavenly Court Army would change its name to Chen in the future."

"So, we still have a chance?" the man said, as if he had just realized something.

"Commander Ji has controlled the Heavenly Army for over eight hundred years, and the Xiu family has also been in the Heavenly Army for eight hundred years. Regardless of whether the Heavenly Army is under the Ji or Xiu family in the future, this is not a good thing."

The old man's eyes grew cold: "The Heavenly Army is a vital national asset, how can it be privately owned? When they tried to give the Heavenly Army a surname, their fate was already sealed. Our Inspection Department has the responsibility to inspect the world, so naturally we cannot allow such a national asset to be privately owned, and we must nip it in the bud."

"The section chief is right. Commander Ji is senile; he actually wants his daughter to inherit the Heavenly Court Army," the man nodded.

"Xiao Hu, find a reason to go to the Xiu family and see what's going on there. Chen Guan has done so much with Ji Nan Hong, yet they haven't taken any action against him. This doesn't make sense," the old man said.

"You suspect that the Xiu family and Commander Ji reached a private agreement?" Xiao Hu asked thoughtfully.

The old man shook his head and said, "Unless Commander Ji compromises, the Xiu family cannot reach any agreement with him. This kind of contradiction is irreconcilable. The Xiu family's silence on Chen Guan's matter makes me wonder if there might be some problems between them and Chen Guan."

"That's impossible, isn't it? Ji Nanhong would choose someone from the Xiu family to marry?" Xiao Hu exclaimed in surprise.

"That's why I sent you to the Xiu family to take a look and see if you can find anything out," the old man said calmly. Chen Guan was currently lying on a pile of secret cores, feeling the allure of wealth.

This time, he didn't have to embezzle any of the spoils himself; Ji Nanhong allocated a large portion to him.

In addition to the top-quality items that Chen Guan had secretly kept, he obtained a considerable amount of resources this time.

However, to convert it into cash, it needs to be resold once more.

Ji Nanhong couldn't give him money directly, she could only give him supplies, and Chen Guan would have to exchange them for money himself.

"What's going on with Duan Shulin? Why has he been gone for so long and we still haven't seen him?" Chen Guan asked, somewhat frustrated.

There was a grove of trees nearby, which made it easy for him to exchange money or buy things. But now this guy has been missing, neither alive nor dead, and nobody knows what happened to him.

Things in this world are sometimes truly mysterious and unpredictable. While Chen Guan was thinking about Duan Shulin, Duan Shulin actually replied with a message.

"Something came up at home, so I won't be able to join the Heavenly Army anymore."

After watching, Chen sent him a message: "What, you couldn't make a name for yourself out there, so you're forced to go back and inherit billions?"

"If only I could inherit the family fortune. You know I like doing business, and I only practice cultivation casually. But my family insists on making me pursue cultivation. I'm going crazy..." Duan Shulin complained bitterly.

Chen Guan then learned that Duan Shulin had been missing for some time because his family had taken him back to cultivate. His family had prepared resources for him and were determined to help him advance to the third level of enlightenment in one go.

Duan Shulin was forcibly placed in seclusion and not allowed to leave until he had completed his third period of deep meditation. At the same time, all contact between him and the outside world was cut off.

"Have you taken your third sedation?" Chen Guan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, what kind of talent do I have? Although cultivation is just a side job for me, I only practice casually and I've already reached the limits that ordinary people can't touch," Duan Shulin said proudly.

Chen Guan was speechless. If someone provided him with all the resources, he could quickly reach the third awakening level. The problem was that no one was giving him the resources.

Of course, the fact that he needs too many resources is also a problem. If he were Duan Shulin, it's hard to say whether the Duan family could provide him with that many resources.

"Old Duan, do you have any high-quality Qi-boosting products over there?" Chen Guan asked.

“My family doesn’t do that. We mainly deal in pets and secret cores. As for pills, there’s an old pill master around here. They have good stuff. Our Duan family has a good relationship with the old pill master’s manager. If you want to buy high-grade goods, I can help you contact him,” Duan Shulin said.

After Chen Guan learned about the old Dan King's situation, he couldn't help but feel tempted.

Old Pill King is the name of a pill shop. This shop only exists in Black City. The shopkeeper's surname is Wang. Using traditional pill-making techniques, the Black City Old Pills he produces are famous throughout China. Now, it's almost impossible to buy them on the spot; you have to pre-order them.
