In the Xuntian Master Pavilion, Wang Chen flipped through the thick files, and the feeling of being trapped became even stronger.
There are eight Tianshi Pavilions in Da Ying City, with the names of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui Baji. It was the Xun name among them that Wang Chen took over.
Although it is a branch unit under the headquarters of the Tianshi Mansion, the Shangxun Tianshi Pavilion is quite large. It not only occupies a large mansion with three front and rear entrances, but also has a nine-story tower and employs hundreds of guard servants.
Wang Chen put the file on the table aside, looked at the female cultivator standing beside him with interest, and said: "Deacon Xi, I am new here and know nothing about the situation in Daying City. I will have to trouble you in the future." help."
This female cultivator has a plump figure, mature temperament, and quite gorgeous appearance. However, the butterfly-like spots at the corners of her eyes somewhat ruin her delicate makeup, but it also gives people a strange feeling.
Xi Manyun, deacon of Xuntian Master Pavilion.
There are a total of twelve deacons in the Shangxuntian Master Pavilion, and Xi Manyun is just one of them.
But she was the only one among the twelve deacons who took the initiative to come to see Wang Chen after he took office.
This is very unusual.
Xuncheng District, which Shangxun Tianshi Pavilion is responsible for, is divided into seven lanes and thirty-nine streets, with a total of more than 50,000 households.
Based on a household of five people, there are nearly 300,000 people under its jurisdiction!
There were not so many permanent residents in the county where Wang Chen lived in his previous life.
As the Guardian Celestial Master, his status is equivalent to the highest chief executive of Xuncheng District, and his power is very great.
The life and death of an idler can be decided with just one word!
Now that Wang Chen has taken office as a new official, only one of his subordinate officials has come to ask for instructions.
Wang Chen had also been a guarding heavenly master before, so he knew very well that there was a big problem here!
Xi Manyun lowered his head and replied: "Serving the Heavenly Master is the duty of a cultivator."
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, he patted the file in his hand and asked, "Where are the other deacons? Where have they gone?"
He smiled: "Don't you know that I took office today?"
Ximan pursed his lips and said cautiously: "Director Wu of the Tianshi Mansion summoned them all."
The highest-ranking person in the Branch Town Tianshi Mansion is the Guarding Tianshi, and there are twelve deacons below to manage different affairs.
There are also positions of principal and deputy principal.
The chief is the deputy guarding the Tianshi Mansion. When the latter is not in the Tianshi Mansion, he assumes temporary supervisory responsibilities.
It is also an important bridge for communication between the guarding heavenly master and the people below.
The deputy director is selected from the twelve deacons to serve part-time to assist the director in his work.
Under normal circumstances, the chief takes orders from the guarding Tianshi and is responsible for supervising the twelve deacons. He is regarded as the second-in-command of Tianshi Pavilion.
However, Wang Chen's subordinate not only did not show up on the day when his new official took office, but instead summoned all the deacons to make it clear that he would not give Wang Chen face.
To be honest, this is contempt and disdain for Wang Chen!
To be honest, Wang Chen really didn't expect that the other party would be so arrogant and didn't even bother to do superficial things.
No wonder the former Guardian Celestial Master looked like he was out of trouble. Could it be that he was evaded by the chief executive and the deacons?
Wang Chen's thoughts were racing, but he remained calm on the surface: "Deacon Xi, didn't Director Wu call you?"
Xi Manyun hesitated and replied: "No."
Does that mean there is a conflict or grudge?
Wang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Deacon Xi, can you tell me about this Director Wu?"
Xi Manyun felt even more hesitant.
She and Director Wu have never been on the same page, so they have always been ostracized by each other and their colleagues.
The former guarding heavenly master could not suppress this chief executive. He had done nothing in the past three years, making it impossible for her to take refuge.
This change of guarding the Heavenly Master is undoubtedly an opportunity for Xi Manyun.
If she doesn't do something, I'm afraid she will no longer have a place in the Shangxuntian Master Pavilion.
But after meeting Wang Chen, Xi Manyun was very disappointed.
Because Wang Chen is too young.
Moreover, Wang Chen came to take office alone, without a single person accompanying him. It was obvious that he did not come from a wealthy family.
Even if you come from a small family, you will always have a few followers around you.
Wang Chen is most likely a casual cultivator who joined the sect!
How could a rogue cultivator with no roots come to Da Ying City, hundreds of thousands of miles away, from the Xihai Zongshan Gate to fight against local snakes like Master Wu?

Xi Manyun was very pessimistic.
She took the initiative to meet Wang Chen, just doing her duty as a deacon.
And what Wang Chen is showing now is that he clearly wants to have a fight with Director Wu.
It's understandable that the other party is young and energetic, but Xi Manyun doesn't want to get involved.
Because she felt there was no chance of winning.
Wang Chen waited for a moment, and when he saw Xi Manyun didn't speak, he asked again in a deep voice, "Isn't it hard to tell?"
For some reason, Xi Manyun's mind started to heat up and he said, "There's nothing hard to say. Since the Heavenly Master wants to know, then I can tell you everything I want to know!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xi Manyun regretted them a little.
But she didn't want to go back on her promise either.
Anyway, the situation she faced couldn't be worse. The most she could do was lose her position as a deacon.
Wang Chen smiled: "Sit down and talk."
He personally poured Xi Manyun a cup of spiritual tea.
"Thank you, Heavenly Master."
After Xi Manyun sat down and calmed down, she organized her thoughts and told Wang Chen everything about the current internal situation of Xuntian Master Pavilion.
The authority to ascend the Xuntian Master Pavilion is nominally owned by the guarding Celestial Master.
But in fact, in the past few years, the person who really holds the power is the chief executive Wu Jingwei!
Wu Jingwei is certainly not an ordinary person. He is also the elder of the Wu family in Da Ying. He has a cultivation level of the third level of Zifu. It is said that he is about to break through to the middle level.
Because he is a local monk in Da Ying, he has the support of the entire cultivating family behind him, and he is powerful, so the deacon below only listens to Wu Jingwei's greetings.
The orders of the previous guarding Celestial Master could not even leave the Xuntian Master Pavilion!
In addition, many gangs and societies that occupy Qifang 39th Street are also very respectful to Wu Jingwei.
The most important thing is that the Wu family has always supported Luo Han, the chief heavenly master, and has a very good relationship with the latter.
With a backer above and a foundation below, how can a lonely Celestial Master in a branch town be able to overthrow him?
It is completely reasonable to be ignored.
The previous Heavenly Master also tried to seize power, but failed miserably, so he simply lay down and became a salted fish.
In addition, the five hundred patrol guards commanded by the Xuntian Master Pavilion were basically controlled by Wu Jingwei.
There are many children of the Wu family inside!
The reason why Xi Manyun and Wu Jingwei are not on the same side is because the relationship between the Xi family and the Wu family is very bad.
It was impossible for her to seek refuge with him.
If the Chief Celestial Master Luo Han hadn't suppressed the Xi family for the purpose of checking and balancing, Xi Manyun would have long lost his position as the deacon of the Xuntian Master Pavilion.
Wang Chen was speechless after hearing this.
I’m sorry that the person in the Xuntian Master Pavilion here is named Wu!
