Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 334 - 139 Wife: Husband, I’ll Wait for Your Return (

"What!"

"There’s an Energy Transformation Master protecting Chen Jiusi’s family?"

At this mont, Feng Xuan, who was sitting in the Spring Breeze Theater, heard the flustered report of Fa Cai, his eyes filled with shock!

When did Energy Transformation Masters beco as common as cabbages?

What did Chen Jiusi do to have relations with so many Energy Transformation Masters!

Thinking this, Feng Xuan turned to Nan Batian and said, "Gang Leader, what do you think of this?"

Nan Batian responded, "According to what your subordinate said, the people protecting Chen Jiusi’s family should be from the Black Market."

"The Black Market?"

Feng Xuan was startled and said, "Isn’t that the oil seller’s territory?"

"That’s right, the oil seller."

"But Fa Cai just said the one who made a move is a female Energy Transformation Master!"

Nan Batian replied, "Back when Lord Darugachi set up the competition stage, the one who stood out was indeed the oil seller, an old man in his fifties. But that was ten years ago."

"Ten years is enough ti for a lot to happen, for many masters to die, and many unknowns to rise to prominence and beco Energy Transformation experts."

"The oil seller has a daughter, whom I t back then, fifteen years old, very capable, known as Third Lady. Ten years have passed, presumably, Third Lady has also grown up and taken over the oil seller’s position."

Hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "So what you an, Gang Leader, is that the daughter of the Black Market’s oil seller wants to protect Chen Jiusi’s whole family?"

"It must be so."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "Then Gang Leader, could you talk to her and force her to hand over the person?"

Nan Batian replied, "I can’t."

"Why not?"

"It would be overstepping our bounds."

"Overstepping our bounds?"

Feng Xuan looked at Nan Batian, not understanding, and Nan Batian said, "You’re new to Energy Transformation and don’t know that the true rulers of the Mian River Martial World are from Darugachi Mansion, and what Darugachi Mansion desires is not the dominance of one single guild. They want a balance of power among all parties, so that they can control the entire situation."

"Peng Shizhong was able to make White Tiger Hall independent because the Fishing Guild, which I lead, was too strong, firmly suppressing Elder Liu’s Guild Cao. Therefore, he broke away, thereby weakening our Fishing Guild and achieving certain equilibrium with Elder Liu."

"Now that Peng Shizhong is dead, the balance has already been broken, which will inevitably cause Lord Darugachi’s dissatisfaction. If I use my power to bully others, forcing the Black Market to take sides, then this will surely be an overstepping action that Darugachi Mansion cannot tolerate."

"Don’t assu Darugachi Mansion is hands-off all the ti; if they decide to intervene, none of us will have an easy ti."

Nan Batian laid out the pros and cons to Feng Xuan.

Darugachi Mansion was like the Emperor, while the various guilds in Mianshui County were akin to court officials. Darugachi would never allow any single guild to beco too powerful.

Otherwise, who could guarantee their exalted status?

Hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "So we just stand by and watch?"

"Not exactly, in the next few days, I will arrange for Qin Ying to keep watch around Third Lady’s shop. If Chen Jiusi dares to contact his family, we will capture him in one fell swoop, once and for all."

"Good, very good."

Feng Xuan nodded upon hearing this, and imdiately said, "I have urgent matters to attend to these next few days and can’t leave, so let Fa Cai assist Mr. Ying."

Qin Ying chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Heh, don’t you trust ?"

Feng Xuan replied, "I wouldn’t dare; I’m just worried Mr. Ying will be overworked, so I’m sending soone to keep you company."

Qin Ying looked at Nan Batian, who gave a slight nod, and said, "That’s fine."

Nan Batian continued, "Additionally, in the na of the Fishing Guild, issue a Jianghu Kill Order, and let Ah Hu take care of it. Anybody who captures Chen Jiusi, the traitor of the Fishing Guild, will receive a reward silver of ten thousand taels, and those providing clues will receive fifty to one hundred taels, depending on the information!"

"Yes!"

Soone behind him responded upon hearing this.

Then, Nan Batian glanced at Feng Xuan and said, "Feng Xuan, you first handle Sect Master Peng’s funeral, stop the body for three days before burial, and in seven days, the guild will hold your appointnt ceremony, officially promoting you to White Tiger Hall Master!"

"Thank you, Gang Leader."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan imdiately beca excited, knelt on one knee with clasped fists, showing his loyalty.

"From now on, I will definitely follow the Gang Leader’s commands, acting on whatever you order without a second thought."

Nan Batian looked at Feng Xuan after hearing this and said, "Hmm, there is sothing indeed. The Nan Lake Salt Field is quite profitable, and now that the yields from other salt fields within the guild are dropping, you might as well hand over the managent of Nan Lake to the Inner Hall."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xuan was taken aback, and Si Xi, who was standing by his side, was also anxious. Nan Lake was a juicy cut of at, its value equivalent to the combined annual revenue of White Tiger Hall’s four streets.

The Gang Leader did not help for nothing; after the work was done, he wanted to reap the benefits.

Feng Xuan was also anxious in his heart; this was a tangible benefit.

While he was agonizing over whether to give it up or not, he saw the probing look in Nan Batian’s eyes, and he instantly understood. This was not just about seizing benefits; it was also a test of his loyalty.

If he did not give it up, it would be disloyal, and having not yet secured his own footing and still relying on Nan Batian, how could he refuse to cede the benefits?

Moreover, Nan Lake was not an inherent benefit of White Tiger Hall, not worth making a big fuss over.

With this in mind, Feng Xuan said, "Yes, Hall Master, it is appropriate for Nan Lake to be managed by the Inner Hall."

Nan Batian nodded lightly, quite pleased, but then saw Qin Ying stand up and say, "Gang Leader, I have sothing to say. In the past, Peng Shizhong, relying on his strength, acted oppressively and unreasonably, and forcefully took Yongchang Street from my Eagle Hall. Now that Peng Shizhong is dead, my Eagle Hall is asking the Gang Leader to return Yongchang Street!"

"What, you want Yongchang Street?!"
