Village Committee.
The village chief and Uncle Yamaki are both present. In addition to them, the Grand scale Strong man, Ashe, Xiao Zhao, and others are also present, but no one from the union is seen.
"Could the union members be blocking people outside the village? It can't be, right?" Chi Hao muttered to himself.
"Village chief, what's going on here?" Chi Hao also didn't mince words, finding a place to sit down casually, completely ignoring the fact that he should be sitting in the first place here.
"This time the caravan passing through our Small fishing village belongs to the Dragon Lamb Empire, one of the three major caravans of the empire. They do not belong to our kingdom or our suzerain state, so we must be on high alert and extra careful not to offend them," the village chief cautioned.
"The last task you received from me was also for someone from the Dragon Lamb Empire, but they were just an Itinerant merchant," added Uncle Yamaki to Chi Hao.
I see.
Another village committee handed a list to the village chief.
"The entire caravan consists of over two hundred people, including forty members of the guard, all of whom are Soul Masters above level forty. There is also a blacksmith group led by Ornn, who is said to have returned from a study trip and is highly likely to become a teacher in the Imperial Academy upon returning to the capital. The rest are ordinary laborers responsible for carrying supplies, as long as they have food and drink. The most important individuals are the two leaders of the caravan, rumored to have significant backgrounds."
"When will they arrive?" inquired Strong man.
"According to their pace, they should arrive at our village by evening. In the past, when they passed through here, they could only camp outside the village. But this time, the Jiuyou Sect has built a Great Hotel in our village, so there's a place to stay. The village cook will take care of the food, so there shouldn't be any issues."
"Village Chief, you must have other matters to attend to. If it's just a small matter like this, you could have just sent someone to inform us. There's no need to make a special trip," Chi Hao said with a smile, looking at the village chief with interest.
"Hahaha, indeed, we can't hide anything from Chi. Whenever they pass by our Small fishing village, they used to stay for only a day, buy some supplies, and then leave immediately. But this time, they heard that our Small fishing village has changed a lot, so they intentionally stayed for a few more days. We must seize this time opportunity to see what good things they have, and buy whatever we can."
"Also, the Longyang Empire is martial and skilled in forging. If we can keep two of Craftsman Oorn's apprentices, it will surely provide great help for the development of our village," the village chief said, with the reflection of Small fishing village turning into a towering city in his eyes.
Uncle Yamaki Seeing my old man like this, I can only smile awkwardly and say, "My old man is always like this. He's getting old but still loves to daydream. Sorry for the embarrassment."
"I don't necessarily think so," Chi Hao thinks having dreams is a good thing.
"Let's do this for now. Everyone should go back and prepare, and tonight we'll rely on our own abilities." Chi Hao came out from the Village committee feeling a bit emotional. Looking back on these days in the spiritual world, opportunities are truly everywhere. Seizing one can make a start, seizing two can make you soar, and seizing three can take you directly to the heavens.
Because he didn't want to compete with others for pigs, cows, and sheep, he took two girls to fight Mantis, and as a result, he received a Task from the Itinerant merchant.
Encountering an abandoned mine shaft, if one's own strength is not enough, there is no way to solve the problems in The Temple of the Demon King. The several treasure chests in the eagle's nest also allowed Chi Hao to obtain extremely generous rewards.
Perhaps this is the foundation for building a sect, otherwise Jiuyou Sect could not have developed to such an enviable level in just a few days. Returning to the sect, Chi Hao went straight to the kitchen, and unsurprisingly, Liang Chuanhui should be there. Her warrior soul is a kitchen knife, theoretically capable of cooking, and in fact can handle ingredients, but the dishes she makes have no effect.
Apart from providing a little bit of spiritual power, it has no other function. She doesn't want to be a dispensable cook. Liang Chuanhui sat on Lu Ziyu and stared blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Feeling confused about the future?" Chi Hao sat down beside her.
Liang Chuanhui was startled, rubbing his chest to calm himself down, and said irritably, "You walk so quietly, trying to scare me to death!"
"I've already died once, so I shouldn't be scared to death again, right?" Chi Hao joked.
Liang Chuanhui is one of the very few women who have rarely changed their appearance. Many girls like to freeze their appearance at the age of eighteen, or at the age they feel they look best. Liang Chuanhui, however, did not do so, and she retains the appearance of a thirty-two-year-old.
Her long hair falls casually, dressed in a white shirt, jeans, and a slightly worn pair of canvas shoes. A woman dressed plainly, not caring at all about a glamorous appearance, must have a story behind this outfit.
"How do you plan to retaliate against me? I've already heard that Jiuyou Sect belongs to you." Liang Chuanhui ignored Chi Hao's teasing and said quietly, with a hint of a desolate tone in her words.
As she spoke, she let her sleeve down, and Chi Hao noticed a tattoo on her arm that looked like the phonetic spelling of a person's name.
"Keep you by my side and work for me for the rest of your life." Chi Hao said, half-jokingly.
"Is that all? Don't you have any other means of revenge?" Liang Chuanhui asked, somewhat incredulous.
"That's all for now. Maybe I'll think of a more interesting way to get back at you in the future." Chi Hao replied nonchalantly.
"Don't you hate me? After all, I'm the one who killed you."
"If your husband also came to the spiritual world, I ask you, do you hate him? What would you say?" Chi Hao asked.
Liang Chuanhui lowered her head again, as if the answer was obvious.
How is it possible not to hate? I hate so much that I want to dig out my heart and lungs, drink blood and eat flesh. I gave everything of myself, but all I got was betrayal. He's actually with a girl in her early twenties now. Besides being younger, what does she have that compares to me? It's really unbelievable. She can't understand it even in death.
In fact, Chi Hao's hatred towards her is not as heavy as Liang Chuanhui imagined. For someone who has experienced despair, an accident is just a fresh start. There's some unwillingness and reluctance, as well as helplessness that can't be taken away or resolved.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy, and Chi Hao knew he had said the wrong thing again. "Alright, I was just kidding with you. Since you've been reborn, let go of everything and start over. Do you have the courage and determination for that? I have a very important task now that needs someone to help me complete it. If you still have the desire to live, then consider it."
Liang Chuanhui didn't hesitate much and lifted his head. "Tell me, what is it? I will definitely help you with whatever I can do."
