Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16316

Chapter 16314 Test

Upon hearing Li Youfu’s words, Zhan Jia frowned, looking at him with some suspicion. “Old Li, isn’t what you’re saying a bit exaggerated? Can the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect really do that? Doesn’t that prove they’re really in trouble?”

Li Youfu immediately replied anxiously, “Lord Zhan, how could I dare lie to you? You know me, Old Li. I make a living this way. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to me. My intuition is absolutely infallible.”

Hearing Li Youfu’s words, Zhan Jia’s expression also became serious. He knew Li Youfu quite well; Li Youfu was indeed making a living this way. Everyone knew this, many knew that Li Youfu had a natural intuition for danger, which was why Zhan Jia had entrusted this task to him.

Zhan Jia looked at Li Youfu and then said, “Old Li, you’re not the only one who took on this mission. If no one else noticed anything wrong and only you felt something was amiss, what do you say?”

Li Youfu quickly replied, “Lord Zhan, I’m really not lying to you. I, Old Li, have been making a living here at the Ironclad Sect. To be honest, I’ve always dreamed of joining a sect, but I never even considered joining the Ironclad Sect before. I know my status is simply not worthy of joining. But I’ve been making a living here at the Ironclad Sect, and I have feelings for it. This time, the Ironclad Sect has given us this opportunity—the opportunity to join a sect. How could I, Old Li, possibly accept it?” “If I hadn’t seized this opportunity, I wouldn’t have come back at all if I, Old Li, hadn’t truly discovered the problem. If I had stayed there and actually found out some information, wouldn’t it have been easier for me to join the sect than coming back now and telling you all this? Lord Zhan, I’m truly thinking of the Ironclad Sect.”

Zhan Jia looked at Li Youfu and said, “Alright, I understand. Here’s what we’ll do: you go back first. I’ll report this matter, but what the higher-ups decide is beyond my control.”

Li Youfu responded, then said again, “Lord Zhan, everything I, Old Li, have said is true. You must believe me.” After saying this, he stood up, bowed to Zhan Jia, and then turned and left.

Zhan Jia watched Li Youfu leave, sat in the room for a while, then stood up and left directly, returning to the Ironclad Sect. Few people knew that Zhan Jia actually had another identity: he was the disciple of Lin Youwei, the deputy head of the Ironclad Sect’s External Affairs Hall. Therefore, Zhan Jia could meet with the higher-ups of the Ironclad Sect; the deputy head of the External Affairs Hall was a high-ranking member of the sect.

Zhan Jia quickly arrived at the Ironclad Sect’s External Affairs Hall, a large courtyard with a nine-story main building and several smaller buildings. The hall was quite crowded.

As the disciple of the Vice Hall Master, why was Zhan Jia assigned to manage rogue cultivators? The reason was simple: he was there to gain experience. Managing rogue cultivators was part of the External Affairs Hall’s duties. Sending Zhan Jia to manage rogue cultivators for a couple of days, then transferring him back, would prevent anyone from accusing him of lacking experience.

Zhan Jia quickly reached the main building and went straight to the ninth floor. There were only four rooms on the ninth floor. The largest was the conference room, the main meeting room for the External Affairs Hall members. The other three rooms were the offices of the Hall Master and the two Vice Hall Masters.

Zhan Jia walked to an office and gently knocked. A voice immediately said, “Come in.” Zhan Jia pushed open the door and entered.

The room was large. Upon entering, one could see a small reception area with several chairs and a small table in the middle. This area was divided by display shelves, with a small door leading to an inner room. Inside was a typical office with three chairs and a desk. Two chairs were placed in front of the desk, and a lean, seemingly fifty-something-year-old cultivator sat at the desk, holding a pen and writing something.

Zhan Jia walked inside and quickly reached the door to the display shelves. The cultivator inside looked up and, upon seeing Zhan Jia, was momentarily surprised. He immediately said, “Little Jia, come in quickly.” Zhan Jia responded and entered, then bowed to the cultivator, saying, “Greetings, Master.” This cultivator was Lin Youwei.

Lin Youwei looked at the armor and said, “Little Armor, what brings you here? Is something the matter?”

The armor immediately replied, “Yes, Master, something’s up. The sect issued a mission to send out rogue cultivators to gather information from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. The mission was just sent out, and a rogue cultivator has already sent back a message.”

Lin Youwei was taken aback, then frowned and said, “So fast? Wasn’t the mission only sent out today? You already have news? What could he possibly have discerned?”

The armor explained, “Master, this person’s situation is somewhat special. His name is Li Youwei. He’s a rather well-known rogue cultivator. This rogue cultivator isn’t very strong, but his perception of danger is extremely powerful. This is quite famous among rogue cultivators. Many rogue cultivators are…” “During missions, everyone wants to team up with him because it’s the safest way to do so.”

Hearing Zhan Jia say this, Lin Youwei believed it. He did believe that some people were born with abilities others didn’t possess. So Lin Youwei nodded and said, “So this is the message this person sent back? What did he discover?”

Zhan Jia replied, “Yes, Master, it’s the message this person sent back. He went to the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, to the area where the rogue cultivators lived. He discovered that everyone in the main hall was watching him—every single person, every single rogue cultivator, was paying attention to him. Not just openly staring at him, but constantly keeping an eye on him. After discovering this, he immediately returned.”

Lin Youwei was taken aback, then his expression changed drastically. “He said all the rogue cultivators at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s headquarters are watching him?”

Zhan Jia nodded. “Yes, that’s what he said.”

Lin Youwei suddenly stood up, startling Zhan Jia into standing up as well. He then said in a deep voice, “If all the rogue cultivators are really watching him, there are only two possibilities: one, he’s lying; two, something really happened at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”

Zhan Jia looked at Lin Youwei, puzzled. “Master, what do you mean by that?”

Lin Youwei looked at him and said, “Don’t you understand? If all the rogue cultivators at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect are watching him, either he’s lying, or all the people at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and all the rogue cultivators have been captured by a certain force. That force, to prevent the affairs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect from leaking out, not only captured the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect but also those rogue cultivators, and then gave those rogue cultivators something to identify each other. Otherwise, how many rogue cultivators would be in the living quarters of a sect?” ” There are few independent cultivators; they couldn’t possibly all know each other. But now, all those independent cultivators know each other. Isn’t that enough to explain the situation?”

Zhan Jia was taken aback, then his expression changed. He immediately said, “Indeed. So, it seems something really happened at the Myriad Beasts Sect?”

Lin Youwei said in a deep voice, “We can’t be sure yet. Go back immediately and arrange for a few people to go to the independent cultivators’ residential area and keep an eye on that cultivator. Remember, have those people act with some hostility. Then, call that person to your office. Once he’s there, ask him how many people are watching him with hostility. See if he can answer. If he can, it means what he said might be true. If he can’t, it means he’s lying. If he’s lying, that’s fine, but if he’s true, then this is a big deal. We must report it immediately.”

Zhan Jia quickly agreed, then bowed to Lin Youwei and turned to leave. After Zhan Jia left, Lin Youwei stood in the room, his expression shifting uncertainly. If everything that rogue cultivator said was true, then the Divine Kingdom was truly about to undergo a cataclysmic change.

Li Youfu returned to his room, still thinking about meeting Zhan Jia. This was all he could do for now; he had reported everything he could. Whether Zhan Jia believed him or not was up to them.

Li Youfu let out a long breath, then went back to bed and lay down immediately. To be honest, he still felt extremely threatened by what had happened. He had almost not made it back from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. How could he not be exhausted? Now that he relaxed, he immediately fell asleep. He

didn’t know how long he had slept when he was awakened by a knock on the door. He immediately sat up, looking at the door warily, and said, “Who is it?”

“Li Youfu lives here, right? Senior Brother Zhan wants you to see him,” a somewhat arrogant voice came from outside the door.

Li Youfu was taken aback, then immediately jumped up and said, “Coming, coming, coming right away.” He walked to the door, opened it, and saw a disciple of the Ironclad Sect standing outside. The disciple stared at Li Youfu arrogantly and said, “You are Li Youfu?”

Li Youfu sensed the hostility emanating from the Ironclad Sect disciple, but he didn’t show it. He quickly replied, “That’s me.”

The disciple nodded and said, “Come with me, Senior Brother Zhan Jia wants to see you.”

Li Youfu quickly agreed and followed the disciple towards the management office. The disciple walked ahead, and Li Youfu followed behind. Along the way, Li Youfu felt several hostile gazes directed at him, but when he looked, he didn’t see anyone. This puzzled Li Youfu, but he still carefully arrived at the management office and followed the disciple to Zhan Jia’s office.

When the disciple reached the outside of Zhan Jia’s office, he said to Li Youfu, “Go in by yourself.” After saying that, he turned and left. Li Youfu did not dare to delay, so he bowed to the man’s back before knocking on the door. After hearing a voice say, “Come in,” he pushed the door open and went inside.
