When Tang Zhenyu finished speaking…
Xu Liancheng took out a booklet and bowed. “All the detailed data is recorded in this booklet. Lord Venerable, please take a look.”
After Xu Liancheng found out that Wang Yi was a Venerable, he naturally did not dare to be as casual as Fang Yuan and the others, who called Wang Yi “Sir”.
Wang Yi valued Fang Yuan and the others. Thus, it was fine for them to address him like this, but Xu Liancheng could not. He knew his limits.
Previously, the Xu family was still the vanguard that suppressed the Su family. Although Wang Yi had already said that he would not fuss about it anymore, Xu Liancheng should still make his position clear.
When Wang Yi heard Xu Liancheng’s words, he could not help but feel a little surprised. He still remembered that those Beast Soldier-Rank beasts had been turned into a bloody mist by his roar. Thus, he did not expect the other party to still be able to collect so much material from them.
With a wave of his hand, he simply took the booklet in Xu Liancheng’s hand.
Wang Yi opened it and realized that the contents were all handwritten. The handwriting was very neat and revealed a faint sense of vicissitudes.
The person who wrote it seemed to have experienced the joys and sorrows of life. At the end of his life, he saw through everything in the world.
It was very likely that the old man in front of him had written the contents himself.
Wang Yi flipped through the pages. The contents were very detailed, including the approximate value of the beast corpses, how to store the shattered flesh and bones, and the address where they were stored.
The booklet also contained information on the beasts that were suitable for refining cultivation pills, the beasts that were suitable for direct consumption, and the beasts whose skin and bones were suitable for making defensive equipment and weapons.
It could be said that this booklet covered almost all possible loopholes.
Wang Yi could not help but sigh. A professional was indeed a professional.
Then, he looked at Xu Liancheng in front of him and was very satisfied. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said with a smile, “Well done.”
“I still need you to cooperate with the Guardian’s Residence and carry out the distribution of the compensation. After this matter is over, I will naturally not mistreat you.”
Xu Liancheng’s heart couldn’t help but beat wildly when he heard this, and his expression couldn’t help but be filled with ecstasy. He knew in his heart that the Xu family had finally caught this person’s eye and that they had established a connection with him.
Then, he bowed again and said respectfully, “It’s the Xu family’s honor to be able to work for Lord Venerable. We don’t dare to ask for anything else.”
However, Wang Yi shook his head slightly and smiled. “Since you’re working for me, you still have to take the benefits.”
The moment he finished speaking…
Wang Yi waved his hand and the booklet flew back into Xu Liancheng’s hand.
Xu Liancheng had been the head of the Xu family for many years and had developed the prosperity of the Xu family. Thus, he was naturally a scheming person. Furthermore, he knew that the words of an invincible existence like Wang Yi were law and reason. Wang Yi would not allow anyone to refuse or disobey him.
Xu Liancheng did not continue to decline. After thanking Wang Yi respectfully, he returned to his seat with the booklet in his hands. He looked down and stopped talking as if the rest of the matters had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Tang Zhenyu said again, “Sir Wang, the resources you’ve given us are too much and too precious.”
“According to the Xu family’s calculations, the value of the flesh and bones of the Beast Soldier-Rank beasts is enough to compensate the city guards and civilians who died in this battle.”
“Based on the number of casualties and the losses in the city, we plan to split the flesh and bones of the Beast Soldier-Rank beasts into three parts and start using them.”
“One part of the compensation will be exchanged for money. Based on the injuries and losses, the casualties and the widows will be given different amounts of money. This will ensure that they would have enough money for their daily expenses.”
“When the injured among them recover, they will no longer be issued money.”
“As for the families of the deceased, if they have children, the Guardian’s Residence will be responsible for all their living expenses and school fees. If they have parents, the Guardian’s Residence will take care of them until they grow old. If they have wives and husbands, the Guardian’s Residence will also arrange jobs to ensure that they can live a normal life.”
“Furthermore, there will be a monthly compensation until all the immediate family members of the deceased die.”
Although Wang Yi did not know much about this, from what Tang Zhenyu said, he had taken care of almost everything. Thus, Wang Yi smiled and said, “Don’t disappoint the deceased.”
“Especially those martial artists who sacrificed themselves to defend the city. We can’t let them be hurt and sad.”
Fang Yuan stood up when he heard this and bowed to Wang Yi with cupped fists. He said with a very serious expression, “Fang Yuan represents the deceased and thanks Sir Wang for your kindness.”
“Sir, don’t worry. The Guardian’s Residence will definitely personally supervise the use of this batch of resources. No matter who it is or who they are, if they dare to extend their hands to embezzle these resources, I will definitely kill them.”
Looking at Fang Yuan, who was standing there like he was reporting official business, Wang Yi felt strange. He felt that he was the Guardian of Cang City, and Fang Yuan was just an official under him. It felt as if Wang Yi was trying to steal the limelight.
What Wang Yi did not know was that the more he acted like this, the happier Fang Yuan and the others were. They wished that Wang Yi could manage more business in Cang City.
What did this mean?
This meant that Cang City would be tied to this person and would have a deep bond with him.
Although the human race and the beast race appeared to be peaceful on the surface, there were undercurrents surging in the dark. Peace was like an illusion. It could be broken at any time and an even more cruel war could erupt.
Furthermore, the threat of the Yang God Race had also appeared. No one knew when the Yang God Race had started to enter this world. Furthermore, no one knew how many Yang God experts were hidden in the various giant cities, let alone when they would attack the human race.
However, what they knew was that as long as the Yang God Race attacked, the Yang God Race would definitely have absolute confidence. They were like venomous snakes that could launch a fatal attack on the human race at any time.
In this era of blood and chaos, if a giant city could have a Venerable presiding over it, the Venerable would be the capital to survive in this chaotic world. There was no need to think about the problem of safety anymore.
Wang Yi sighed and said, “There’s no need to thank me. No matter what, they died because of me. These are my compensation to them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yi’s mood clearly became a little low.
When Fang Yuan saw this, he said again, “Sir Wang, you don’t have to be so concerned. If those brothers knew that you were so considerate, they would probably be smiling in the afterworld.”
Wang Yi nodded slightly and did not dwell on this matter. He turned to look at Tang Zhenyu and said with a smile, “In that case, what did you use the other two parts for?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhenyu replied again, “As for the second part of the resources, they will be used to rebuild the buildings in the city.”
“Due to the aftermath of the battle, the buildings in the city have been severely damaged. The closer we get to the outer city, the worse the damage is. The buildings adjacent to the city walls have already been completely reduced to ruins.”
Wang Yi could not help but nod as he listened. Tang Zhenyu was right. On the way back that day, he had witnessed the catastrophic impact of the battle on the city.
