Chapter 081: First Hearing of Yue Ci's Name

  "Just for one sentence from me, you give me such a heavy gift?" Li Wenjun asked in surprise.

  Zhang Jianjie was very candid, he clearly knew that with someone like Li Wenjun who had absolute power, schemes and tricks were useless. Once exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. The best approach was to clarify everything from the start. This way, he could gain Li Wenjun's trust and avoid provoking this ruthless man.

  Zhang Jianjie said: "Xian Shi, in the officialdom, having a backer is extremely important."

  Qin Yue was born in a poor family, without any backing. As for me, although I have some money, I don't know any high-ranking officials either. Although San Shan County is just a county, the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, but after all, it's a parent-official position, and many people are vying for it. It's not easy for Qin Yue to secure this position. If Master Xian would come forward and show some support for Qin Yue, I'd say something that's not an exaggeration - it would be even more effective than the Emperor's words.

  "We don't ask for much, just hope that Qin Yue can sit on the throne of San Shan County Magistrate until he retires."

  Li Wenjun was somewhat surprised, no wonder Qin Yue came over and knelt down to pay his respects, Zhang Jianjie even sent him off with a heavy gift, it turned out he wanted to be the county magistrate of Sanshan County for a long time.

  As for who becomes the county magistrate of Sanshan County, Li Wenjun doesn't have any thoughts on it. Whoever it is, as long as they don't interfere with his business, he doesn't care. Since Qin Yue wants to do it and Zhang Jianjie has sent so many gifts to show support for Qin Yue, it's a harmless thing for him to do. Most importantly, with these medicinal herbs, he can continue to cultivate at a relatively fast speed.

  Cultivation, enhancing one's state of being, and increasing overall strength are the most fundamental and pressing matters.

  "Alright, I can promise you that." Li Wenjun nodded and said.

  Zhang Jianjie was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Li Wenjun, saying: "The immortal master has taken notice of me. I represent Qin Yue and our whole family in thanking the immortal master."

  Li Wenjun waved his hand and said, "I'm not favoring Qin Yue. This is just a transaction, you give me a generous gift, I'll express my support for Qin Yue, it's mutually beneficial, and from now on, neither of us owes the other anything."

  "Yes, I understand," Zhang Jianjie hastily replied.

  "Come on, let's go to the county government office," said Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun brought Zhang Jianjie and others to the county government office, where Sun Baicao and Sun Jianning took Li Wenjun's place in boasting on the street. Deputy County Magistrate Qin Yue sent several yamen runners to accompany them, and all other officials of the county government were present, including the chief clerk and the six departmental clerks.

  Upon learning that Li Wenjun had arrived, Qin Yue and Jiang Yanfan did not dare to slack off and hurriedly came out together to see him.

  Li Wenjun fulfilled his promise, in front of everyone, praised Qin Yue for doing a good job, he appreciated him very much and hoped that Sanshan County would flourish under his governance.

  Jiang Yanfan and others are all old foxes, they know that Li Wenjun is here to support Qin Yue, so they quickly express their loyalty to Qin Yue in front of Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun didn't say anything else, nor did he do anything else. He knew that after he left, Zhang Jianjie and Qin Yue would find a way to spread the news, as for how they would spread it and to what extent, it had nothing to do with him.

  Li Wenjun did not stay in the county government office for long. After praising Qin Yue, he left the county government office.

  Zhang Jianjie hurriedly followed up, keeping pace with Li Wenjun's footsteps.

  Li Wenjun turned around and glanced at Zhang Jianjie, asking: "Mr. Zhang, we've settled our accounts, why are you still following me?"

  Zhang Jianjie hastily said: "Immortal Master, don't misunderstand. I have something important to report."

  Li Wenjun nodded and said: "Okay, if there's anything else, let's talk about it at my place."

  Zhang Jianjie followed Li Wenjun back to his home, Zhang Jianjie waved his hand and let the two housekeepers guard the gate, he followed Li Wenjun into the yard.

  "Immortal Master, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Let me take a guess at your current situation," Zhang Jianjie said.

  "What can I do?" Li Wenjun said calmly.

  "Master Xian, you killed the outer grandson and house general of General Pojun. General Pojun will not let this go, he will send people to kill you, it's almost a certainty. I've heard that General Pojun has connections with some power in the immortal world, ordinary people can't touch you, but if General Pojun invites other masters to come, I'm afraid Master Xian won't be able to handle it." Zhang Jianjie said.

  Li Wenjun furrowed his brow upon hearing this and stared at Zhang Jianjie with an unfriendly gaze, saying: "How do you know so much about the cultivation world?"

  Zhang Jianjie saw Li Wenjun showing signs of getting angry, and hastily said: "Immortal Master, our family has been a secular family for generations, and we have nothing to do with cultivators. We just know some secrets that others don't because our family has existed for a longer time."

  "Is that so?" Li Wenjun's tone was laced with disbelief. As the Marquis of Broken Army, he held a noble status, and how could their family secrets possibly be known by some local tyrant?

  Zhang Jianjie raised his hand and said solemnly, "If the immortal master does not believe me, I am willing to swear on behalf of my family. If I deceive the immortal master, let my Zhang family suffer a calamity that will destroy our ancestors' legacy and bring us no peace in death."

  Li Wenjun waved his hand and said, "Between us, it was just a transaction. The content of the transaction is true, that's all. Whether other things are true or false, I'm not interested. Mr. Zhang, if you have nothing else to do, please leave. I still have things to do and no time to accompany you."

  "Master Xian, I beg of you, give me a little more time. I have a few words that are on the tip of my tongue, and I wish to speak them to you."

  "Go ahead." Li Wenjun decided to give Zhang Jianjie a bit more face considering the heavy gift.

  Zhang Jianjie said, "Xian Shifu has offended Po Junhou, and must bring disaster. As the saying goes, one good man needs three helpers, and one fence needs three stakes. Xian Shifu is isolated and cannot make a sound alone, his future is worrying, the only way now is to unite with friends who can be united."

  "What kind of friend can withstand the means of a cultivator?" Li Wenjun retorted.

  "Soldier against soldier, general against general. If you want to deal with a cultivator, you can only use another cultivator. I know another cultivator, if Master is willing to trust me, I am willing to act as an intermediary and make an introduction." Zhang Jianjie said.

  Li Wenjun was taken aback and asked incredulously, "You actually know another cultivator? What's his name? Where does he live?"

  Zhang Jianjie said: "Do you know Tianhua Mountain? On Tianhua Mountain, there are many Taoist temples and palaces. Among them, there is a Qingfeng Temple, the master of which is called Yueci Daoren, a Taoist priest who has been cultivating for many years and is highly skilled. When I went to the mountain to burn incense once, I was lucky enough to see Yueci Daoren. He favored me and gave me a token."

  "With this token, you can go up the mountain and see him again. If the immortal master is willing, I am willing to make an introduction and bring the immortal master to meet Moon Porcelain Daoist. You two are both immortal masters, maybe you will have a common language. If the immortal master can become friends with Moon Porcelain Daoist, in the future when the Broken Army Marquis sends someone, you will also have help."
