Chapter 132

Zhan Chen had no choice but to leave the cultivation room. He went to the door and opened it, only to find two people standing outside. He was very familiar with one of them — it was Ma Shun. However, he didn't recognize the man standing in front of Ma Shun.

He saw that the man was of medium height, fat, and had a fierce-looking face. He had bee-like eyes and a flat nose. He had a big purplish mouth that seemed to be drooping listlessly. His eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance.

Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Hmph, you are Zhan Chen?" The man with the flat nose asked.

"That's right!"

"How dare you!"

When Zhan Chen heard the man reprimanding him as soon as he arrived, a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

At this time, Ma Shun, who was standing behind the man, gave him a meaningful look and said, "Zhan Chen, why haven't you bowed yet? This is our steward, Lord Huang Youshu! "

Only then did Zhan Chen come to a realization. He symbolically bowed to Huang Youshu and said, "So it's Lord Huang. Please forgive my poor eyesight."

"Hmph! You're so arrogant! You've been here for more than half a year, but you still haven't come to pay me a visit? Furthermore, you applied for closed-door training the moment you arrived. That's not enough. The time limit is up, but you still haven't come to resume your position. I even had to personally come to invite you! "

Speaking of this, Zhan Chen felt that he was in the wrong. Ever since he was assigned to work in this herb garden, he had never paid a visit to this superior. Moreover, it was indeed his fault for delaying his closed-door training.

Thus, he had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake. "Lord Huang, I was obsessed with cultivation and forgot the time. This is indeed my fault. I hope that you can be magnanimous and forgive me this once."

"Forgive you? If everyone were to be like you, where would my prestige be? I have to punish you, severely punish you! "

Zhan Chen's heart skipped a beat. He replied, "How does Lord Huang intend to punish me?"

"Very simple. You have to make up for the work you've missed. Moreover, you have to make up for it. From today onwards, you will be responsible for two spiritual fields instead of one, and you will be responsible for them for three years!"

"What?!" Zhan Chen would be in charge of doubling the spiritual field. This meant that for the next three years, Zhan Chen would have to stay in the spiritual field all day long. He wouldn't have time to cultivate or rest at all. This Huang Youshu was too ruthless!

"Humph, this is just a small punishment. In the future, keep your eyes open!" Huang Youshu snorted coldly and walked away.

Ma Shun didn't leave with him. Instead, he stayed and said embarrassedly, "Brother Zhan Chen, as soon as Huang Youshu found me, he asked where you lived. He was killing the chicken to warn the monkey.

"This is taking revenge for a personal grudge! I'm afraid it's because I didn't pay him a visit when I first arrived and gave him a gift, so he targeted me. "Zhan Chen said indignantly.

Ma Shun said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I had to bring him here."

Zhan Chen let out a relieved laugh and said, "Ma Shun Xiong, I can understand. We are all on duty."

"How is it? Have you thought about what I said to you last time?"

"You mean, you want to fight for a steward position?"

"Yes, this way, you can be on equal footing with Huang Youshu, and you don't need to be controlled by him."

Zhan Chen sighed and thought, "It seems that if I want to settle this matter, I have to beg that witch again. Otherwise, I will definitely be tortured to death by Huang Youshu's subordinates."

After saying goodbye to Ma Shun, Zhan Chen went straight to An Ru's place.

After the ceremony, Zhan Chen went straight to the point and said, "Steward An, I want to be the steward of the medicinal field. I don't know if it's possible."

"You? A steward? " An Ru looked at him in surprise, thinking that this Zhan Chen's ambition wasn't small. He had just arrived and he was already showing his edge.

"Yes." Zhan Chen calmly looked into her eyes to confirm that he wasn't joking.

"Give me a reason." An Ru sighed. Although Yin Meiru favored him, Zhan Chen's request was a bit too much.

"Steward An, I also have my own difficulties. My steward, Huang Youshu, doesn't get along with me, so I want to fight for this steward position." Huang Youshu's attempt to hinder him gave Zhan Chen a good reason.

An Ru glanced at him and said, "You don't have to say anything more. I will talk to Huang Youshu later and tell him not to make things difficult for you. If you really can't do it, you can work under other stewards."

An Ru obviously didn't want to let Zhan Chen go. Zhan Chen clenched his teeth and thought, "Since I'm here today, I must become the steward." So he said to An Ru, "I want to see the Holy Maiden. I hope Steward An can help me!"

After saying that, he simply prostrated in front of An Ru and didn't get up.

An Ru hurriedly said, "Zhan Chen, what are you doing? Fine, I'll take you there!"

Because Yin Meiru had told An Ru to make things convenient for Zhan Chen as much as possible, An Ru became so easy to talk to. However, Zhan Chen's qualifications and cultivation were still shallow, so she didn't dare to arbitrarily appoint a steward.

So, the two entered the Holy Maiden's bedroom one after the other.

Coincidentally, Yin Meiru was bored to death. When he saw that Zhan Chen wanted to see him, he was delighted and thought, "This guy took the initiative to see me as soon as he came out of seclusion. The sun really rose from the west. Let's listen to what he has to say."

So, he summoned Zhan Chen to come in. After the three finished greeting. Yin Meiru deliberately put on a sour face and asked, "Zhan Chen, why did you come to see me today? I'm very busy. "

Zhan Chen replied, "Your Highness, I applied to Steward An to be a steward of the spiritual fields."

"Steward of the spiritual fields?" Yin Meiru was stunned. She was someone who was used to getting food and clothes as soon as she opened her mouth, so she was still unfamiliar with this position.

At this time, An Ru had no choice but to come forward and explain to her. Finally, she said, "Your Highness, Zhan Chen has just arrived, and his cultivation is still lacking. If you let him be a steward at this time, I'm worried that he won't be able to convince the others."

Yin Meiru glanced at Zhan Chen and saw that he was looking at her eagerly. She couldn't help but recall the method of "loosening the reins only to grasp them better" that Ying Feng once told her. So, she subconsciously coughed and said, "I thought that the position of steward of the spiritual fields would be a very high official position, but it's only twenty mu of spiritual fields at most. Steward An, you should give it to him."

"As you bid, Your Highness!" An Ru could only accept the order.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but reveal an expression of ecstasy. He thought to himself, It seems that Ma Shun's words were true. I don't know why, but she actually opened a back door for me. I have to make good use of her protection and gain a firm foothold in Holy Maiden Peak.

At this time, An Ru couldn't help but remind the excited Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, hurry up and thank her."

Only then did Zhan Chen come to his senses. He sincerely kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"

Seeing the ecstatic expression on Zhan Chen's face, Yin Meiru couldn't help but smile. She thought to herself, That's right, Zhan Chen, hurry up and fall in love with me. Only then will it be interesting!

After leaving the palace, An Ru turned to Zhan Chen and said, "Zhan Chen, come with me to handle the procedures."

"Yes! Chief An. "Zhan Chen followed An Ru curiously.

They didn't return to the spiritual field area. Instead, they passed through several small paths and came to a corner of the Holy Maiden Palace. There was a five-story building there. On the lintel of the first floor were three large words: Spiritual Field Court.

At this time, An Ru stopped and said to Zhan Chen, "This will be where you will work and live in the future. It can also be considered your new home."

"You mean that I can live in the Holy Maiden Palace in the future?" Zhan Chen asked in surprise.

"That's right. After you become a steward, your status will naturally be different. However, I have to remind you that your cultivation and qualifications are still shallow. You need to observe more and learn more. Don't show off too much."

"This lowly one understands."

"Good. Come with me. We'll go see your future superior."

The two of them went directly to the hall on the top floor. They saw three people sitting inside, as if they were discussing something.

The person sitting in the middle of the main seat had a face full of beard and a big belly. He had a haughty look on his face. However, as soon as he saw An Ru walk in, he immediately rolled down from his seat. With a face full of smiles, he came forward and greeted, "Chief An, what brings you here?"

An Ru glanced at him and said, "Liu Manfu, today I'm here to bring your subordinates. Zhan Chen, come over here."

Zhan Chen took a step forward and came in front of Liu Manfu. An Ru introduced, "Zhan Chen, this is your superior, Liu Manfu, the supervisor of the spiritual field."

"Liu Manfu, this is the new steward, Zhan Chen."

Liu Manfu looked at Zhan Chen up and down with a puzzled expression. He then asked, "Chief An, what should we do with this little brother? Our Spiritual Field Stewards' schedules are all full! "

"I heard that your brother-in-law, Huang Youshu, is in charge of more than 50 mu of spiritual field. Isn't it good to share some of his responsibilities with Zhan Chen?"

"This …" Liu Manfu's face revealed an awkward expression.

"Hmph, Liu Manfu, this is the steward personally appointed by the Saintess. Do you dare to disobey the Saintess' order?"

"This lowly one doesn't dare!" Liu Manfu shuddered. The fat on his belly also shook exaggeratedly.

"That's for the best. Go and make the arrangements. In any case, I'll follow up on this matter."

"Yes!" Liu Manfu replied unwillingly.

Meanwhile, Zhan Chen, who was standing at the side, began to become vigilant. Wait a minute. Just now, An Ru said that Huang Youshu is Liu Manfu's brother-in-law, but An Ru wants Liu Manfu to give his brother-in-law's land to me. I already have a grudge with Huang Youshu. It seems like I have to be careful in the future.

"Liu Manfu, help Zhan Chen arrange a place to stay here. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. "After saying this, An Ru turned around and left.

After watching An Ru leave, Liu Manfu turned around and stared at Zhan Chen with a puzzled expression. He asked, "Your name is Zhan Chen?"

"Yes, Supervisor."

"If I remember correctly, you were originally just a lowly herb slave in the spiritual field."

"Yes, Sir Supervisor. I was only given this opportunity because of the Saintess' favor."

Liu Manfu stared at him and thought to himself, This kid was originally just a herb slave, and his cultivation was only at the beginner level of Martial Honor. I don't think he has any background.

Thus, he finally changed his expression and sneered, "Hmph, you're so capable! You want to be a steward, but you didn't come to visit me first. Instead, you went to ask for permission from your superiors. Don't you know any etiquette? "

Zhan Chen was silent, but he thought to himself, Huang Youshu is your brother-in-law. You and that guy are in cahoots. If I come to you directly, I'll only be asking for trouble.

"Take this command medallion! Get out of here, lest I get annoyed when I see your face again! "Liu Manfu took out a command medallion from his Cosmos Sack and threw it at Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen caught the command medallion, but he felt a prickling sensation in his hand. A wave of anger rose up in his heart, but he suppressed it and asked, "Supervisor Liu, what about the spiritual field and a place to stay that I'm in charge of?"

"Hmph, a place to stay? You can pick any spare room on the third floor. As for the field, you can discuss it with Huang Youshu yourself!"
