On the flying boat, Ming Fuqian looked up at the sky and murmured to himself, "Yunzhong Prefecture's waters run deep. I hope Junior Brother Zhang can keep it under control."
An old man, who looked like a butler, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Although I can't see through the cultivation of this new Town Guardian Envoy, He and Li families has Cultivated for too short a time, so He and Li families shouldn't be too strong. On the other hand, the He and Li families Family is full of strangeness and has people backing it, so I'm afraid He and Li families won't be able to control them."
The aura emanating from this butler was even stronger than Ming Fuqian's; He and Li families was clearly a Soul Transformation Cultivator.
When Ming Fuqian took office as the Cloud Central Town Guardian Envoy, the Ming Family specifically arranged for the old man to come along and assist him with affairs.
Hearing the butler's words, Ming Fuqian nodded, indicating that He and Li families also agreed with this view.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. It's enough that we can get out of this muddy water."
"Will something happen after we leave like this?"
The old man, who looked like a butler, still asked with some unease.
"That has nothing to do with us. I've already said everything that needed to be said, and I even reminded him to pay attention to the He and Li families Family."
The butler stood silently to the side, and after a while, He and Li families tentatively asked, "Young Master, do you think the He and Li families Family might be colluding with the Demon God Sect?"
Hearing this, Ming Fuqian was startled and quickly denied it. "Impossible. They don't have such guts. Once collusion with the Demon God Sect is exposed, the entire Family will be annihilated. The He and Li families Family can't possibly not understand this."
In the Yu Fan Heaven World, other matters could still be discussed, but once collusion with the Demon God Sect was confirmed, it meant certain death.
No matter how large the force, it would be uprooted. The Dao Saint Sect was never soft-hearted when it came to such matters.
The butler said slowly, "I hope I guessed wrong."
The flying boat arrived at the Teleportation Hall, and their group quickly teleported away… Zhang Yuhe sat in the inner hall, his fingers lightly tapping the table.
A good hero needs three helpers; relying on him alone was clearly insufficient to manage the entire Yunzhong Prefecture.
But who to ask for help? This was a question worth pondering.
According to Ming Fuqian, the Qian and Sun Families each had Disciples Cultivating in the Dao Saint Sect's Outer Sect and should be relatively reliable.
As for the other three Families, that was less certain.
Zhang Yuhe largely agreed with this statement; Families with Disciples Cultivating in the Sect obviously wanted to integrate into it and generally wouldn't cause trouble.
As for the He and Li families and Li Families, that was hard to say.
According to Ming Fuqian, these two Families also wanted to send Disciples to join the Sect, but they generally couldn't find a way and were unsuccessful.
Zhang Yuhe completely disbelieved this claim.
Although the Dao Saint Sect had very high standards for recruiting Disciples, normal people had no way in.
However, the He and Li families and Li Families were Families with a Legacy of tens of thousands of years, yet they had never produced even an Outer Sect Disciple. This was highly suspicious.
Was it due to insufficient talent?
Completely impossible.
These two Families were powerful and had countless Family Disciples. Over so many years, it was impossible that not a single outstanding one had emerged.
Perhaps they simply didn't want to join the Dao Saint Sect, and even deliberately wanted to maintain distance from it.
If that were truly the case, then the problem would be significant.
Although the Dao Saint Sect had dominated Yu Fan Heaven for countless years, it generally acted fairly.
For various forces, sending Disciples to join the Dao Saint Sect only brought benefits, not harm.
Yet, the He and Li families and Li Families were unwilling.
What did this indicate?
It indicated that they were doing something with a guilty conscience, and had been doing so for a considerable time, fearing that Family Disciples entering the Dao Saint Sect would expose their secrets.
"They aren't colluding with the Demon God Sect, are they?"
Zhang Yuhe started imagining things and suddenly came to this conclusion, which genuinely startled him.
"It seems I really need to be more careful in the future."
Zhang Yuhe slowly recalled what Ming Fuqian had told him. Previously, He and Li families always felt that Ming Fuqian's words had hidden meanings.
Now, thinking about it, perhaps Ming Fuqian had already sensed something, but without concrete evidence, He and Li families couldn't report it to the Sect and have them send reinforcements.
He and Li families believed He and Li families couldn't afford to get involved, which was why He and Li families found an excuse to leave the place.
What about being close to a Breakthrough and needing to return to the Sect for secluded Cultivation?
Nonsense.
While a major Realm Breakthrough required finding a place rich in Spiritual Qi, it didn't necessarily mean returning to the Sect.
Although the Spiritual Qi in the Town Guardian Manor wasn't as abundant as in the Sect, it wasn't bad, sufficient to support a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Breakthrough.
Otherwise, how would the Inner Sect Disciples, who were either Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation and serving as Town Guardian Envoys, Cultivate during their tenure?
Zhang Yuhe felt that a crisis was looming over him.
"Stay calm, don't panic."
He and Li families silently comforted himself.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuhe stood up abruptly and shouted, "Someone!"
A young girl in green quickly walked in.
"What are your orders, Sir?"
Zhang Yuhe scrutinized her. Although the green-clad girl was pretty, her cultivation was only at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. What could such weak cultivation accomplish?
Damn it, was there no one else in the entire Town Guardian Manor?
Zhang Yuhe was silent for a moment, then asked the green-clad girl, "What's your name?"
The green-clad girl thought Zhang Yuhe had some special intentions and could only lower her head and reply, "This humble one is Qian Lingling."
"You're surnamed Qian? Are you related to the Qian Family?"
Hearing that the green-clad girl was named Qian, Zhang Yuhe became very interested.
"I am from a collateral branch of the Qian Family, arranged by my elders to serve the various Sirs in the Manor."
Zhang Yuhe nodded.
Indeed, she was from the Qian Family. The Qian Family arranging people in the Town Guardian Manor clearly showed an intention to be close.
As for whether it was to gather information?
Ming Fuqian wasn't that foolish.
If they weren't trustworthy, would He and Li families have let them in?
"Have all the other people in the Manor left?"
Looking at the empty Town Guardian Manor, Zhang Yuhe felt a bit speechless.
Although He and Li families liked peace and quiet, He and Li families still needed to sort things out first.
Only by arranging things properly could He and Li families Cultivate with peace of mind.
Otherwise, what if someone came knocking on his door one day, and He and Li families wouldn't even know it?
"Most people left with Sir Ming, but the servants in the Manor are still here."
So, there was no one left, then.
Everyone who could work had left, and those remaining were just servants. What did He and Li families need these servants for?
"Forget it, let's first gather the various Families for a meeting."
Thinking this, Zhang Yuhe took out his identity jade token, placed it on the table, and said, "Take my jade token and notify the Qian, Sun, Li, He and Li families, and Fengxin Pavilion Families to come for a meeting tomorrow morning."
"Ah…"
Seeing Zhang Yuhe take out his identity jade token, Qian Lingling was completely stunned.
How could the Town Guardian Envoy's identity jade token be easily given to others?
"Ah what? Go quickly."
The identity jade tokens of Dao Saint Sect Disciples all contained the individual's aura.
Others holding it wouldn't be of much use and couldn't utilize its functions.
Moreover, the jade token also had a tracking function, so there was no fear of it being taken away.
Zhang Yuhe truly had no one else to use, so He and Li families had to ask Qian Lingling to make the trip.
He and Li families couldn't possibly, as the Town Guardian Envoy, personally go door-to-door to notify each Family to attend a meeting, could He and Li families?
Didn't He and Li families have any Face?
