Senior Sister Chen
Xu Xin blocked Deacon Huang's flaming hand and said seriously, "The sect has its own laws. How can Deacon Huang abuse them with a private punishment here?! This is just wrong!"
She had a gentle and kind personality and could not bear to see her fellow sect members bullying the weak, even if the one being bullied was a mere labor disciple.
Deacon Huang's face darkened.
"So it's Junior Sister Xu. This laborer has no respect for his elders and doesn't abide by the sect's rules. I just want to teach him the rules."
Jiang Chen was just a laborer. In their eyes, he was just a servant raised by the sect, nothing more than a slave.
Did Xu Xin actually dare to publicly embarrass Deacon Huang by ordering him to stop for the sake of a laborer like Jiang Chen?
Even though Deacon Huang had already driven all of the laborers away, there were still quite a few people who hadn't gone far, and quite a few of them had witnessed the scene.
His prestige had been completely destroyed. How was he going to lead the masses in the future? This made Deacon Huang very angry.
However, he could not afford to offend the young girl in front of him.
Xu Xin was an outstanding existence among this generation of Skyfire Sect disciples. She was the personal disciple of the Alchemy Hall's Third Elder.
If it was in the past, even Xu Xin would have had to address him as Senior Uncle.
At that time, he would have been unwilling to offend Xu Xin mostly because of Elder Hao behind her.
But now, Xu Xin was already at the Divine Sea realm.
According to the rules of the Skyfire Sect, the one with the higher cultivation level was considered to have higher status. Xu Xin could already speak to him as an equal, and when they met, she could just call him "Senior Brother".
Xu Xin already possessed such a cultivation at such a young age. Coupled with the fact that she was also a spirit-pill master, her status was already something that a deacon of the labor department couldn't compare to. He had no choice but to take her seriously.
More importantly, Deacon Huang could not see through Xu Xin's cultivation at all. This meant that the other party was at least two levels higher than him!
Xu Xin was unmoved, her face still serious. "Senior Brother Huang, it seems like your mood has gotten better too. Please spare him for my sake."
Strictly speaking, it was still Deacon Huang's fault.
After all, even though Jiang Chen was still a laborer, he had been transferred out of the labor department and was now directly under the jurisdiction of the Firesmith Hall.
As a deacon of the labor department, Deacon Huang did not really have authority over Jiang Chen anymore.
Now, with Xu Xin interfering, it was indeed impossible for him to punish Jiang Chen.
"Since Junior Sister Xu is so persistent, then let's forget about it. It wasn't a big issue anyway."
Deacon Huang glanced at Jiang Chen from the corner of his eyes and snorted coldly. Then, he turned around and left unhappily.
"Alright, hurry up and get back to work. Remember to stay away from that Deacon Huang when you see him in the future. I don't think he's a good person." Xu Xin turned around and looked at Jiang Chen with her big, beautiful eyes.
When she passed by the Laborer Courtyard just now, she saw Deacon Huang picking on a laborer. She couldn't bear it, so she came to intervene.
However, after turning around, Xu Xin had only now gotten a good look at Jiang Chen's face.
She thought Jiang Chen had a handsome face and looked radiant.
Even if he wore the grey-colored uniform of a laborer, it didn't conceal his extraordinary and exceptional aura, which seemed superior to those of the disciples of many sects.
For some reason, Xu Xin instinctively wanted to take a few more glances.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister."
Jiang Chen thanked Xu Xin with cupped hands, then turned around, and left quickly.
Xu Xin's gaze really made him feel uncomfortable. Could it be that she had noticed something?
Xu Xin! How can you stare at him just because you think he's good-looking?
He must have seen that look just now. How embarrassing.
But I just can't help but want to take a look. And why does he seem so familiar?
Xu Xin blushed, her gaze fixed on Jiang Chen's departing figure.
A sense of familiarity had struck her, but she was very sure that she hadn't met this young servant before.
Unable to figure it out, Xu Xin gave a self-deprecating laugh. Perhaps she was a little nervous because the tournament was approaching.
Xu Xin left, attributing the feeling in her heart to her recent nervousness. She naturally couldn't imagine that Jiang Chen was the person who had saved her once in the Magma Domain and was also the mysterious alchemy greatmaster who had taught her pill-refining skills.
On the road leading to the East District's Law Enforcement Hall.
Deacon Huang's face was cold as he walked quickly.
"Hmph, a pair of adulterers.
"The b*tch might have protected you this time, but she won't be able to protect you forever. Hmph! A mere laborer! I will teach you a lesson soon."
Deacon Huang cursed as he thought about what he would say if he saw Senior Sister Xu again in the future.
He was rebuked by a laborer and was humiliated by a junior right after.
Deacon Huang was furious.
Those who were familiar with him knew that this person was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He would definitely take revenge on those who offended him.
However, he couldn't afford to offend Xu Xin, so he wouldn't dare to take revenge on her.
But not everyone was afraid of Xu Xin. Senior Sister Chen from the Law Enforcement Hall was one of such people.
Senior Sister Chen was of the same generation as him. In the past, she was also one of the top 10 core disciples of the sect, and her cultivation had already reached the eighth layer of the Divine Sea realm. In the sect, she was reputed to be one of the few people with the highest chance of breaking through to the Golden Bridge realm.
Once Senior Sister Chen broke through to this Realm, she would definitely take over the Law Enforcement Hall in the future.
A candidate to become a hall master elder of a sect naturally wasn't afraid of a rising star like Xu Xin.
Even Xu Xin's master, Elder Hao of the Alchemy Hall, paled in comparison to Senior Sister Chen.
Additionally, Deacon Huang was aware that Senior Sister Chen's cultivation had reached a crucial point.
The fire poison in her body had already accumulated to a very serious level, and she urgently needed a human
Jiang Chen, who had consumed the Sun Grass, had a physique that was even stronger than that of an ordinary body tempering cultivator. He also had a powerful fire-repelling characteristic, which just happened to meet Senior Sister Chen's requirements.
Not to mention, Senior Sister Chen had also taken a liking to Jiang Chen 30 years ago.
At that time, Jiang Chen was unwilling, and Senior Sister Chen thought highly of herself, so she didn't force him.
But times had changed.
Deacon Huang did not believe that Senior Sister Chen would not be moved after hearing about the news regarding Jiang Chen.
Soon, Deacon Huang arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.
After announcing why he was there, he met with Senior Sister Chen Huan, who was one of the three law enforcement deputies of the Hall. Her cultivation was even at the eighth layer of the Divine Sea realm, close to some of the older experts in the sect.
At this moment, Chen Huan was lying lazily on an embroidered bed.
She was only wearing a light muslin dress, and her curvaceous figure was faintly discernible.
This woman was constantly emitting a strange charm, causing every man who saw her to be unable to help but feel ripples in their heart.
"Why have you come to meet me? If it's nothing of value, you'll find me quite displeased."
Her lazy voice was as soft as a cat's. It made Deacon Huang, who was trying his best to endure, react involuntarily.
He lowered his head and shifted his feet to hide his embarrassment. He didn't dare to look at that alluring body again.
"Senior Sister Chen, I heard that you were looking for a human furnace. It just so happens that I have a candidate here that should be able to satisfy Senior Sister Chen's needs."
"Oh~? Tell me more. If I like it, you will definitely be rewarded."
Chen Huan seemed to be interested. She propped up her chin with a delicate hand. The laziness on her face disappeared, and she became focused again, looking like a young girl full of curiosity.
Deacon Huang still did not dare to raise his head. He started to explain Jiang Chen's situation in detail.
"So it's him. I remember now. An interesting little fellow. I didn't expect such good fortune."
Chen Huan thought of that stubborn figure and couldn't help but smile.
"I'm very satisfied. This is for you. Goodbye!"
Chen Huan casually threw out a medicinal pill that was suffused with five colored radiances. After that, the curtain in the room fell down and covered Deacon Huang's line of sight.
"Five Fires Qi Integration Pill!"
Deacon Huang took a look at the medicinal pill in his hand and could not help but feel delighted.
He carefully placed the pill into a porcelain bottle and quickly left.
