Jiang Yi swallowed a healing pill and took a good sleep. He only woke up at dusk. He gave a long stretch and felt that the pain in his chest got much better. He was great in general.
Jiang Yi rose up and turned on the shield. Niu Deng walked towards him quickly and asked respectfully, “Chief Jiang, everything is set. However, it still needs some time to organize the men of Ba Dao, Chief Long, and Brother Heng…”
Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Well, leave the men that worked for Brother Heng. Take in those over a dozen men if you can and don’t care about the rest.”
“Are we not going to take them in?”
Niu Deng’s chubby face was full of surprise. He asked, “Chief Jiang, the more men that we have, the more thunder stones that you’ll get, which can be used to exchange merits and celestial stones…”
“I don’t want them!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “A man can’t be overly greedy. In addition, among Ba Dao’s and Chief Long’s men, sift out the weaker ones. There are two chief vacancies, someone will ascend. Either that or the others will divide the remaining men. If we take everyone in, many people will be offended.”
“Emm, Chief Jiang is brilliant.”
Niu Deng flattered Jiang Yi and thought for a while before saying in agreement, “That’s also true. Chief Jiang just became the chief; people are still uneasy. We still need to make arrangements for those who join us. More people may create more troubles. Chief Jiang, I’m incompetent. I suggest that you select a few more Guardians. Niu Wang doesn’t understand these matters. I’m afraid that I will be too busy to handle everything…”
“Selecting Guardians?”
Jiang Yi lifted his brows. It was indeed troublesome arrange everything as things got more complicated. There would be chores such as choosing people to lead the group every day and handing in the thunder stones. He couldn’t possibly do all these.
How about selecting people? The problem was that he wasn’t familiar with any of the Heaven Monarchs that recently joined him. He might know their exterior but not their hearts. If he made the wrong choice and if the man was bad at managing, there would be more problems.
“Oh, right!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes brightened; he suddenly thought of a man. The Thearch Palace in his hand flashed, numerous figures appeared in the main hall. He let out everyone, including Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, Qian Wanguan, etc.
“Uh…”
The crowd was cultivating in the Thearch Palace. Some of them were studying restrictions, some were chatting, some were painting, and some were embroidering for fun. Everyone felt the world in front of them whirling. They were completely shocked when they were out.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
“Boss!”
Soon, everyone was delighted to see Jiang Yi. Feng Luan glanced around and realized they were in a courtyard, and there was even a Heaven Monarch Realm martial expert. She instantly appeared alert.
Niu Deng was startled, too, but quickly cupped his hands reverently and greeted them. “Niu Deng sends his greetings to every lord and young mistress.”
Feng Luan looked at Jiang Yi, perplexed. She asked, “Young Master, who is this man…?”
“Ke-Ke!”
Jiang Yi casually explained. “He is Niu Deng, my left Guardian. I’ll explain to you later. Wanguan!”
When Qian Wanguan heard Jiang Yi calling him, he quickly leaned over and said, “Boss, what can I do?”
Jiang Yi said to Niu Deng, pointing at Qian Wanguan, “Niu Deng, I may be in seclusion for a long time in the future. Thus, I won’t have much time to deal with the daily business. You will consult with Qian Wanguan about everything. His orders are my orders.”
Niu Deng was surprised secretly. Jiang Yi actually trusted this Vajra Realm little fatty very much. He quickly bowed at Qian Wanguan respectfully and said, “Greetings to Lord Qian.”
“Uh?”
Qian Wanguan was startled. This man who was a Heaven Monarch actually addressed him as Lord Qian. He looked at Jiang Yi doubtfully, who smiled and said, “Wanguan, you a talent in management. I’m one of the chiefs in the city and have men subordinates. I don’t have the time to manage them. Can you help me first?”
“Chiefs?”
Everyone’s eyes shrank and looked at one another in disbelief. If they weren’t familiar with Jiang Yi and didn’t know that he hated to lie, they would definitely think that he was bragging.
“Ke-Ke!”
Niu Deng explained eagerly and said, “Chief Jiang killed Brother Ba Dao, Chief Long, and ten other Heaven Monarchs in today’s fight at the thunder ridges. Then he defeated Chief Leng and killed Brother Heng. Right now, everyone in the city was saying that except Big Sister Bell, Chief Jiang is the no.1 fighter among the slaves in the Sky Thunder City.”
“…”
Everyone quivered as though they were struck by lightning. Both Feng Luan and Jiang Xiaonu glanced at Jiang Yi with a look of reproach. Jiang Yi shrugged and smiled bitterly. “Don’t blame me this time. You wouldn’t be any help in this high-level fight. Alright… it’s over now. You can stay in the Sky Thunder City comfortably. No one dares to provoke us.”
“Ke-ke, Young Master is the best.”
Qing Yu laughed innocently; Yun Fei and Zhan Wushuang were happy for him, too. The golden flood dragon twitched its month and looked at Jiang Yi more fearfully.
Qian Wanguan patted his chest and said, “Boss, rest assured and continue your cultivation. You can hand over all your subordinates to me. I promise to discipline them well.”
“Em, you stay at home. I’m going to a banquet. Niu Deng, arrange some delicious food and wine.”
Jiang Yi stood up and walked outside. He waved at Qian Wanguan after taking two steps and said, “Wanguan, you come with me. I may be in seclusion in the future. I’ll bring you to meet all the big shots in Sky Thunder City. You will represent me to deal with them in the future.”
“As you wish!”
Qian Wanguan was not frightened. He was fearless with the backing of Jiang Yi. He wouldn’t even hesitate if Jiang Yi asked him to go through severest trials, let alone a banquet.”
Niu Deng glanced around and said, “Chief Jiang, this place is too small. I will ask people to clear out several courtyards nearby and break the walls to join the yards together, so that all the lords and young mistresses can live comfortably.”
Jiang Yi paused. He frowned and asked, “If we do so… will the City Lord Mansion let us do this?”
“It’s fine!”
Niu Deng said positively, “The other chiefs did the same. Of course… Chief Jiang, we need to inform and bribe the top ten commanders.”
“Alright, just do what you’ve said!”
Jiang Yi waved his big hands and went out with Qian Wanguan. Niu Deng quickly followed up and called Niu Wang in to brief him before leaving with over a dozen Heaven Monarchs to follow Jiang Yi.
After Jiang Yi and his group left, Niu Wang stroke into the courtyard. He greeted at Feng Luan and the group. “Lords and Mistresses, please wait for a while. I’m set up everything in less an hour.”
Feng Luan was more domineering. She sat calmly on the main seat and gestured. “Hold up first. Tell us everything about what happened to Chief Jiang recently.”
“As you wish!”
Niu Wang was not as slick as Niu Deng, but he wasn’t stupid. These women definitely had something to do with Jiang Yi. Perhaps, they were his women. He wouldn’t dare to ignore these Young Mistresses.
He quickly told them everything he knew, including how Jiang Yi killed the men of Ba Dao and Chief Long, how he hid in the thunder ridges for three months, and how he killed several chiefs in succession today.
“Young Master is so good. He can even defeat Chief Leng who ranks second in the city!”
After Qing Yu heard the stories, her heart was filled with passion, and her charming eyes kept twinkling. Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei breathed faster and felt the blood surging through their bodies. Only Feng Luan and Jiang Xiaonu let out a look of distress.
The rest only saw the impressive show of Jiang Yi’s courage and power, but Feng Luan and Jiang Xiaonu thought of the hardship and ordeal that Jiang Yi must have been through during the three months that he stayed in the thunder ridges all by himself.
If he could take in the Thunder Fire easily, why did he wait for three months?
As she kept thinking about it, Jiang Xiaonu’s pretty eyes shimmered with tears. It was the same every time. Jiang Yi spearheaded a bloody path on his own and built a sanctuary for the rest. However, he undertook all the stress and sufferings. Jiang Xiaonu felt her heart aching… and herself useless.
