After Su Xin returned to the imperial court with his people, he immediately went to the palace to report the process and harvest to Ji Haodian.
Su Xin had accomplished the most important thing with the least amount of resources. Ji Haodian was naturally very satisfied with this. After giving Su Xin a few words of encouragement, he let him leave.
It was said that Ji Haodian was now completely immersed in the process of studying the white jade slabs.
Of course, he was not the one doing the research. Instead, it was some formation grandmasters trained by the Zhou Kingdom. Ji Haodian's greatest interest was to watch them study the white jade slabs. His eyes were shining. Ji Haodian did not deal with the affairs of the imperial court at all, except for some important matters.
Su Xin left the palace, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
It seemed that the white jade slabs he offered had driven Ji Haodian a little crazy.
However, Su Xin did not feel the slightest bit guilty. To him, it did not matter whether Ji Haodian lived or died.
As long as Ji Haodian was alive, Su Xin would naturally be able to rise to a higher position once again.
If Ji Haodian died, it would be even simpler. The Zhou Kingdom did not have a supreme emperor, so Su Xin would have more room to play.
As soon as Su Xin returned to Six Fan School, Huang Bingcheng brought a person to Su Xin. It was Qi Long, who had been used as bait by Su Xin and was the only one who returned alive in the end.
Speaking of which, Qi Long was indeed quite miserable. The person he kidnapped was the grandson of an elder in the Divine Transformation Realm of Qingcheng sword school. Qi Long was sent by a group of innate warriors to hunt him down. He was seriously injured, but he finally returned to Shengjing City.
It had only been a few days since then. When Qi Long came to see Su Xin, his face was still pale.
He had been in Shengjing City for so many days, so he had naturally heard about Su Xin's series of actions.
He was not a fool. He naturally knew what kind of people they were. Su Xin's mission was to use them as bait to deal with Qingcheng sword school.
It could be said that they had to die in this mission. No matter how many people died, someone had to stay in South Sichuan Road at the gate of Qingcheng sword school. That way, Su Xin would have an excuse to attack Qingcheng sword school.
Qi Long knew all of this, but surprisingly, Qi Long didn't feel any resentment.
His thinking was very simple. Although Su Xin did not say what the nature of the mission was, he had already told him the content of the mission. The reward was very tempting, but the actual situation was also very dangerous. It all depended on one's own choice.
In this way, Su Xin was actually very moral. At the very least, he did not force them to die.
Qi Long himself had climbed up from the very bottom, and because he cultivated the Devil Path cultivation method, he had a deep and patient personality. He was not the kind of person who would grumble all day long and resent Su Xin for insulting their dignity, using them as bait, and so on.
On the contrary, Qi Long secretly praised Lord Su for his courage. He was actually able to do something as heaven-defying as destroying a top force.
He was weak, and the weak must have the awareness of the weak. Su Xin was now in a high position. To Qi Long, it was normal for him to use the lives of more than a dozen constables in the Innate Realm to find an excuse to attack Qingcheng sword school.
In the past, when Qi Long was a Wind Chasing Officer, he had even used the lives of his colleagues to attract a target and finally killed it.
Anyway, in Qi Long's opinion, if he was in Lord Su's position, he would do the same.
"Your subordinate greets you, sir!" Qi Long bowed deeply to Su Xin. Although his face was deathly pale, there was a faint blush on his cheeks. This was a sign of excitement.
This was because Su Xin had previously said that if Su Xin could successfully bring the warriors of Qingcheng sword school back for investigation, he would give him the strength of a martial arts master in the Divine Transformation Realm.
Although Qi Long later found out that the so-called disciples of Qingcheng sword school were useless, Su Xin was a man of his word. He had personally made this promise in front of so many constables of Six Doors of Fans, so he should not go back on his word.
Sure enough, after listening to Qi Long's report, Su Xin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done."
In fact, Su Xin had already learned everything that Qi Long had done in South Sichuan from the secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation. Therefore, he was also very satisfied with the quality that Qi Long had shown.
Previously, Qi Long did not tell his guess to the other constables, allowing them to rashly go to those Taoist temples and be killed. This showed that he was scheming and ruthless.
In the end, Qi Long chose the weakest Taoist temple to attack, making reasonable use of the power of the secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation. This also proved that the other party was capable.
Su Xin liked this kind of scheming, ruthless, capable, and ambitious person.
He was not afraid of his men being ambitious; he was afraid that they were a bunch of trash.
Now that Qi Long had shown his ability and strength, Su Xin naturally had to fulfill his promise.
Therefore, Su Xin directly guided the last of the power in the Green Lotus Seed in his hand to Qi Long, allowing him to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm.
The power of the Green Lotus Seed was completely consumed and turned into a pile of flying ashes. Qi Long's face was flushed as he bowed deeply to Su Xin and said, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "You don't have to thank me. This is what you deserve.
Now, it's time for me to give you another promise. Tell me, do you want to return to the Wind-chasing Patrol, choose to join the secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation, or be transferred to another department as a chief of detectives? It's up to you. "
Qi Long did not even think about it and said, "I believe that you have seen my previous shortcomings, sir. Now that you have helped me break through to the Divine Transformation Realm, I will definitely repay this kindness. Therefore, I will not join the secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation or the Wind-chasing Patrol. I just want to stay by your side!"
Qi Long was a smart man. He knew that he had to rely on his elders when he was in an aristocratic family and his teachers when he was in a sect. Now that he was in the imperial court, he naturally needed to find a backer.
Qi Long knew the prestige of the Wind-chasing Patrol and the secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation. It was even more prestigious to be transferred to another department as a chief of detectives.
However, without any backing, what was the use of going to these positions?
Qi Long was a very ambitious man. His current strength was definitely not his limit, so he chose to continue following Su Xin.
Who in Six Fan School did not know that following Lord Su would bring them benefits?
Lord Su was now favored by the emperor. Among the young officials of the Zhou Kingdom, Lord Su was the one that His Majesty appreciated the most.
Most importantly, Lord Su was already very powerful. Naturally, following such a strong person would have a bright future.
Moreover, with the current situation in Six Fan School, Qi Long could only rely on Su Xin.
During the attack on Qingcheng sword school, Su Xin openly suppressed Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian, which made the subordinates of the two extremely unhappy.
However, they did not resent Su Xin. Instead, they resented their master for not being able to defeat Su Xin.
This was not because they were disloyal to Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian; it was just human nature.
After all, aside from their trusted subordinates, the others were all colleagues of Six Fan School. Since Lu Xuan could not bring them any benefits, could he blame them for changing sides?
Therefore, during this time, Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian's strength had been greatly reduced. The two had secretly cursed Su Xin many times.
Because of this, the only people Six Fan School could rely on were the Tie family and Su Xin.
However, the Tie family's way of doing things was too rigid and had too many rules. Moreover, there were too many people in the Tie family. Not every outsider could be recognized by the Tie family like Su Xin.
Qi Long knew his own strength and personality. The Tie family was not suitable for him, so he chose Su Xin without hesitation.
Su Xin nodded with satisfaction. Qi Long was ruthless and ambitious. Now that Su Xin had used the power of the Green Lotus Seed on him, not only did he directly advance to the Divine Transformation Realm, but he also eliminated the flaws in his cultivation method. His future achievements would not be as simple as the Divine Transformation Realm.
Since Qi Long was so tactful, Su Xin did not say anything more. He only said, "Very well. You will follow me for the time being."
Qi Long's eyes suddenly showed a hint of ecstasy. It was obvious that Su Xin was ready to take him as a confidant.
"Yes, sir! This lowly one will not disappoint Milord's grace! "
Su Xin waved his hand, wanting Qi Long to leave. However, he seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said, "By the way, did you bring back a disciple from Qingcheng sword school? Is he dead now? "
Qi Long was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "He's not dead, but I was afraid of trouble, so I crippled his martial arts and cut the tendons in his hands and feet. Even if he's not dead now, he is no different from a cripple."
Su Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Go and bring him to me."
Although Qi Long was curious as to why Su Xin wanted to see that kind of trash, he had been in Six Doors for a long time. He naturally knew that some things should be asked, and those that should not be asked should not be asked.
Now that Su Xin was by his side, what Qi Long needed to do was very simple, and that was to obey, absolutely obey.
Whoever Su Xin told him to kill, he would kill, without asking for a reason.
After a while, Qi Long brought the fat abbey dean over. When he saw Su Xin, the fat abbey dean seemed to be scared out of his wits. His whole body trembled as if he was sifting chaff.
Of course, he also had a reason to be afraid. It was because this seemingly harmless young man in front of him single-handedly destroyed Qingcheng sword school that he relied on for the first half of his life!
As a qualified piece of trash, he had actually been living a very fulfilling life. He relied on the power of his ancestors to act like a tyrant in the Daoist temple assigned to him. He was simply like a local tyrant.
But now, his ancestors were killed by Su Xin, and even his ancestors' support was destroyed. He was no longer the monastery master of Qingcheng sword school, but just a useless person without martial arts. All he wanted was to survive in the hands of the devil in front of him.
But seeing the fat man's expression as if he was about to pee in his pants, Su Xin frowned. Did Qingcheng sword school cultivate such a thing?
But it didn't matter, the more trash the better.
