Ten Thousand Sword Masters

Upon entering the Divine Realm, Zhang Jianyun saw that a large number of the White Horse Celestials had been defeated by the Black Armored Saber Monkey, leaving only a dozen or so White Horse Celestials struggling to resist under Ma Fei's leadership.

"stop."

Zhang Jianyun unleashed a beam of light that enveloped the remaining members of the White Horse Celestial Clan and repelled the Black Armored Saber Monkey.

"You are all my people. If there is any fighting, it should be stopped short of death."

"Yes, my lord," Yuan Tian and Ma Fei said in unison, kneeling on the ground.

"If these two races ever engage in another large-scale life-or-death struggle, just stop them directly," Zhang Jianyun said to Zhu Lan and Mo Dun.

"Yes, Master."

Upon leaving the divine realm and returning to his residence, Zhang Jianyun received a message from Yang Changping, asking him to go to his office.

"Jianyun, you've arrived. Please have a seat." Yang Changping seemed very pleased.

"I originally wanted to recommend you to the county seat, but unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected," Yang Changping said.

"I hadn't originally planned to go to the county town anyway," Zhang Jianyun said nonchalantly.

"I've been transferred to Jiuxingwei in Sanhe Town to become the Pavilion Master. I'm recommending you to the county to succeed me as the Pavilion Master of Cangxi Pavilion," Yang Changping said.

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master." Zhang Jianyun congratulated him. Sanhe Town is the seat of Kaiyang City, the county seat. Yang Changping was transferred to Sanhe Town to become the Pavilion Master. Although his position did not change, it was actually a promotion.

"You should be mentally prepared; the county will most likely agree to my recommendation of you," Yang Changping said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianyun's expression shifted. Being a leader isn't just about having enough ability. He certainly had enough ability to be the Pavilion Master, but whether he could truly win over the masses and manage his subordinates remained to be tested.

"The duties of the Nine Star Guards are very important. I hope that after you become the Pavilion Master, you can ensure the peace of this region," Yang Changping said solemnly.

"If I do indeed assume the position of Pavilion Master, I will certainly not fail in my mission," Zhang Jianyun said solemnly.

"I believe you will do better than me," Yang Changping said cheerfully.

After chatting with Yang Changping for a while, Yang Changping briefly shared his experiences as the head of the pavilion. Zhang Jianyun left the office with great excitement.

Thinking back to the confusion and helplessness I felt when I first arrived here, just a few days later, I not only gained a foothold in Cangxi Town, but also had the opportunity to become the head of Cangxi Pavilion. For a moment, it felt like a dream.

Back in the rest room, Zhang Jianyun prepared to continue playing cards with everyone.

"Jianyun, another Crimson Flame Horse has appeared outside the town. Can you help me catch it? Boss Yang really thinks highly of me, letting me catch it all by myself," Liu Fei said somewhat discontentedly.

"With your current strength, you can't even catch a Crimson Flame Horse?" Zhang Jianyun said with amusement.

"Catching it is no problem, but I can't tame it. Should I tie it up and carry it back?" Liu Fei said, glaring.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei went to find the clerk Du Zhong to get their horses and headed out of the town.

Not long after leaving the town, they saw the Crimson Flame Horse running wildly in the fields.

Giddy up! Giddy up!

The two chased each other on horseback, and finally, Liu Fei seized the opportunity. He used the reins to lasso the Crimson Flame Horse, and Zhang Jianyun took the chance to jump onto the horse's back and grab the reins tightly.

hoohoo hoohoo~

The Crimson Flame Horse raised its front legs, tilted its head back, and neighed repeatedly before striding forward at full speed.

boom!

Zhang Jianyun pulled on the reins, lifted the Crimson Flame Horse, and then pulled it to the right, causing it to crash to the ground with a loud thud.

Hey!

After landing, the Crimson Flame Horse rolled over and suddenly lunged forward.

Zhang Jianyun hurriedly mounted his horse, tightened the reins, lifted the horse again, and then turned it around.

This process was repeated until the Crimson Flame Horse collapsed from exhaustion.

The Crimson Flame Horse lay on the ground panting for a while, then got up and tried to run, but Zhang Jianyun knocked it down again.

The Crimson Horse got up again, but this time it did not run; instead, it stood still.

Zhang Jianyun mounted his horse, intending to ride forward, but the Crimson Flame Horse remained motionless.

"Wow, she's got a temper."

Snapped!

Zhang Jianyun slapped the Crimson Flame Horse's rump with a powerful palm strike, sending it flying into the air.

Howl~

After letting out a painful cry, the Crimson Flame Horse suddenly bolted forward.

Brush brush!

Zhang Jianyun kept pulling on the reins, changing the direction in which the Crimson Flame Horse was running.

The Crimson Flame Horse changed direction repeatedly as it ran at top speed, drawing a circle before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Tears of despair streamed from the eyes of the Crimson Flame Horse.

Zhang Jianyun bent down and reached out to gently stroke the head of the Crimson Flame Horse.

Half a day later, the Crimson Flame Horse stopped crying, neighed a few times, and got up.

Zhang Jianyun mounted his horse, gently patted its back a few times, and the Crimson Flame Horse slowly moved forward.

After traveling for a while, sensing that the Crimson Flame Horse had calmed down, Zhang Jianyun patted the horse's back slightly and spurred it forward.

In the wind, the Crimson Flame Horse galloped wildly without stopping.

He rode the fiery steed back to the pavilion, locked the horse in the stable, and then reported to the clerk, Du Zhong.

"You've tamed the Flaming Horse again?" Upon hearing Zhang Jianyun and Liu Fei's report, Du Zhong was overjoyed and rushed to the stable, where he indeed saw a new Flaming Horse.

"Great! We have two tamed Crimson Flame Horses now. I really hope there will be more Crimson Flame Horses so that everyone in the pavilion can ride them on missions," Du Zhong said happily.

"Don't assign me to the mission if the Flaming Horse appears again. Why am I always the one assigned to the mission when the Flaming Horse appears? This is even more outrageous. They only assigned me to handle it." Liu Fei said impatiently.

"Liu Fei, with your current strength, surely you can tame a Crimson Flame Horse?" Du Zhong asked, raising his eyebrows.

"It's not a question of whether they can be tamed or not, but whether the mission is fair or not," Liu Fei said, dissatisfied.

"You'll have to talk to Boss Yang about this; it's no use talking to me," Yang Changping said, shrugging.

"You're the clerk, so you have an obligation to report the problem to Boss Yang on our behalf," Liu Fei emphasized.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell Boss Yang about your problem and have him arrange for someone else to capture the Crimson Flame Horse next time." Du Zhong said with a smile as he went back to his office.

"Pavilion Master Yang may be leaving Cangxi Pavilion soon," Zhang Jianyun said after Du Zhong left.

"Boss Yang got promoted?" Liu Fei asked in surprise.

"Being transferred to the Nine Star Guard in Sanhe Town as the head of the pavilion is considered a promotion, since it's now in the county seat," Zhang Jianyun said.

"How did you know?" Liu Fei asked.

"The Pavilion Master told me," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile, then returned to his rest room to continue playing Texas Hold'em with the other soldiers.

Having won a small amount of money, Zhang Jianyun took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to Lou Qingluan after getting off work and going home.

"Go to the clothing store and buy some clothes. If you don't have enough money, come back and tell me."

"Thank you, sir." Lou Qingluan accepted the silver.

"Don't call me 'Master,' just call me 'Brother.'" The title "Master" made Zhang Jianyun feel a little awkward.

"Okay, Yun~ Brother Yun~" Lou Qingluan said somewhat awkwardly.

"Go quickly and come back soon, you still need to cook when you get back," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Okay, I'll be right back," Lou Qingluan said, and then jogged out.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
