Chapter 26: Mansion Master

Pei Xuanjing knew that forcing the Shen Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with him to kill the Liu family was a good thing for him, but it was not necessarily the case for the Shen Chamber of Commerce.

In the previous life simulation process, there was a situation where the Shen Chamber of Commerce and the Jin family joined forces with him to ambush and kill the Liu family. But Pei Xuanjing did not dare to put everything on this, because from the subsequent life simulation, the intersection between the Shen Chamber of Commerce and the Jin family and him seemed to have disappeared, which made him doubt.

He was used to preparing a way out for himself, and this way out was Fu Zun.

From the results of many simulations, his cooperation with Fu Zun was quite satisfactory, at least the two parties did not have a violent conflict because of this.

In the most recent simulation, when he returned the strange object, Fu Zun also kept him and helped him obtain resources to break through the fifth level, which proved that the two sides could cooperate.

Therefore, that night he secretly met Fu Zun, willing to help the other party seize the strange object in exchange for the other party's help.

However, although Pei Xuanjing had a back-up plan, he did not expect that the Shen family would really betray him, and that two fifth-grade warriors would actually attack him.

Under compulsion, he used the Thousand Miles Fire and began to summon the back-up plan prepared by the Mansion Master.

This was also his last resort. If even the Mansion Master betrayed him, then he could only flee in embarrassment and flee far away, and he would never be able to participate in the secret blessed land again.

Fortunately, the Mansion Master kept his promise as promised. When the Thousand Miles Fire was used, three fifth-grade warriors and several sixth-grade warriors arrived.

There was no need to say more about the next battle. There were four fifth-grade warriors on his side, including Pei Xuanjing, and only two on the other side. The final result was already doomed, and any resistance on their part would be futile.

Seeing Shen Xiang, who was still open-eyed when he died, Pei Xuanjing felt a little complicated.

The other party escaped from the bandits because of his appearance, but in the end, he also lost his life because he betrayed him.

"This may be cause and effect, or life." He thought to himself.

Pei Xuanjing was thinking, maybe the final result was doomed when the other party started to plot against him.

"Mr. Pei, the next thing will be handed over to us. The master is still waiting for you in the mansion." A person sent by the mansion master spoke beside Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing had just checked these bodies and found that apart from some silver and money, there were no things like the martial arts notes he needed, which was a pity.

On second thought, these people all have families and careers after all, and they are not the kind of people who walk alone in the world. Naturally, they will not carry important things such as martial arts notes with them.

Hearing the urging at this time, Pei Xuanjing nodded, "In that case, send someone to lead the way!"

In the back hall of the Anping Prefecture government office, although the moon was already high in the sky, the study of the mansion master was still brightly lit.

The prefect, Gu Ji, is about forty years old. After passing the imperial examination at the age of twenty-five, he started as a Hanlin. In less than twenty years, he has become a prefect of the fourth rank. The next step forward is either to be a provincial governor or to be transferred to the court and serve as an assistant official in charge of a department.

Either way, it means holding power and being in a high position.

Unfortunately, family members know their own affairs. For Gu Ji, if he really wants to go further, it will not be easy, but more difficult than others.

Therefore, he must have something to show to the court and let some people know that he has not been doing nothing over the years, but has made a career, so that he will not encounter too many obstacles when he is promoted.

And now, he knows that there is something that is very suitable.

That is the strange object in the secret blessed land that will be opened in Anping Prefecture in the near future.

As a fourth-rank official of the court, the secrets that Gu Ji knew were not comparable to those of a small force like Shen Xiang who lived in a corner. They only knew that those strange objects could create a warrior of the upper third realm, but they did not know the other function of that strange object.

If such a strange object could be obtained, whether it was presented to a certain big man to win favor or presented to the court, it would be a great achievement, and his promotion would be much easier.

However, it was a pity for him that there were various requirements and restrictions for entering this kind of secret blessed land, and the people he had at the moment were not suitable, and even if he sent someone in, he was not sure to seize it.

At this time, a man named Pei Xuanjing appeared in his sight.

What made him feel interesting was that before he made any move, the other party actually took the initiative to deliver himself to the door.

After Pei Xuanjing entered the city, he quietly followed the people to the study room in the back hall of the government office.

"Meet the Lord of the Mansion." Pei Xuanjing clasped his fists.

Neither humble nor arrogant, these four words are the most appropriate to describe Pei Xuanjing's attitude.

Gu Ji smiled, not caring about Pei Xuanjing's thoughts. He had many masters under him. If Pei Xuanjing was not suitable to help him seize the rare objects, he would not be in his eyes at all.

Even if he just learned from his subordinates that Pei Xuanjing showed the strength of a fifth-grade warrior, he was only slightly surprised and did not take it too seriously.

"Have you finished your work?" Gu Ji said lightly.

Pei Xuanjing nodded, "It's done, Liu family."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Ji, "Don't tell me these things, it's not necessary."

He glanced at Pei Xuanjing with a little meaning, "Since the work is done, then improve your strength and don't delay my work."

Pei Xuanjing nodded silently, "Since the Lord of the Palace has offered his help, I will not delay the Lord of the Palace's affairs."

Gu Ji nodded, then waved his hand, signaling someone to take Pei Xuanjing away.

He did not care about what Pei Xuanjing did, just like the struggle between the major forces of the Liu family, which was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

In the guest room, Pei Xuanjing recalled the words and deeds of the Lord of the Palace just now, and just sighed that he was really nothing now, at least in front of a fourth-rank official, if it was not because he happened to have some value, otherwise he would not be in the eyes of the other party.

But he was not angry, after all, compared to many people, he was already much better.

Now, the only thing he had to do was to improve his strength with peace of mind and wait for the opening of the secret realm.

Thinking of this, he opened the martial arts notes in front of him and began to study and refine the accumulated praise of the Dao rhyme.

This was another condition he and the Lord of the Palace proposed, that is, before the secret realm of the blessed land was opened, he could borrow some martial arts notes collected by the government office.

After all, no matter which force they are from, the number of martial arts manuals in their hands is definitely not as many as that of the government.
