Chapter 451.
This opening is really a bit difficult!
In the upper Xun Tianshi Pavilion, Wang Dust flipped through the thick volumes, the feeling of being in the pit became even stronger.
Great Ying City is divided into eight Tianshi Pavilion, to Qian, Kan, Burgundy, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Tui eight extremely number, Wang Dust took over is precisely one of the Sundance number.
Although it belongs to the branch unit under the jurisdiction of the general town of Tianshifu, but the scale of the upper Xun Tianshi Pavilion is quite large, not only occupies a large mansion with three entries in front and behind, but also has a nine-story tower and employs hundreds of guards and servants.
Wang Dust put the dossier on the desk to one side and surveyed the female cultivator who stood by the side with interest, saying, “Deaconess Xi, I’m new here, I know nothing about the situation in Great Ying City, and I’ll have to trouble you to work hard to help out in the future.”
This female cultivator’s physique is plump and mature in temperament, her appearance is quite voluptuous, only the butterfly-like mark in the corner of her eye more or less spoils her exquisite makeup, but also gives people a strange feeling.
Xi Man Yun, the deacon of the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion.
There were a total of twelve deacons in the Upper Xun Celestial Master Pavilion, and Xi Man Yun was only one of them.
However, she was the only one of the twelve deacons who had taken the initiative to come and pay homage to Wang Chen after he arrived.
This was very unusual.
The Sundown District, which the Upper Sundown Heavenly Master Pavilion was responsible for managing, was divided into seven squares and thirty-nine streets, with a total of more than fifty thousand households.
According to the calculation of five people per household, there were nearly three hundred thousand people under the jurisdiction!
Wang Chen’s old home county in his previous life didn’t even have this many permanent residents inside.
And as the Town Guardian Heavenly Master, his status was equivalent to the highest administrator of the Sundown District, and his power was very great.
The life and death of an idle person could be decided with a single word!
Now that Wang Dust was a new official, there was actually only one official under him who came to ask for work.
Wang Dust had also been a Zhentian Master before and was well aware that there was a big problem here!
Xi Man Yun bowed her head and replied, “It is the duty of the subordinate cultivator to serve the Heavenly Master.”
Wang Chen’s eyes flashed as he patted the dossier in his hand and asked, “Where are the other deacons? Where have they all gone?”
He smiled, “Wouldn’t be unaware that I took office today, right?”
Ximan pursed his lips and said carefully, “Master Wu of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion summoned them all.”
The highest status within the Subtown Heavenly Master’s Mansion was the Subtown Heavenly Master, with twelve deacons below him managing different affairs.
There were also the positions of Master and Vice-Master.
The principal was the deputy of the Zhenguo Celestial Master, and the latter acted as a temporary supervisor of duties when he was not in the Celestial Master’s Mansion.
It was also an important bridge for the Zhenguo Tianshi to communicate with his subordinates.
The Vice-Principals were selected from the twelve deacons to assist the Master.
Under normal circumstances, the Master is under the command of the Zhen Guan Tian Shi, responsible for supervising the twelve deacons, and is considered to be the second-in-command of the Tian Shi Pavilion.
However, Wang Chen’s subordinate not only did not show up on the day of his inauguration, but also summoned all the deacons, clearly not giving Wang Chen face.
To put it more seriously, this was contempt and disdain for Wang Chen!
To be honest, Wang Chen really didn’t expect the other party to be so arrogant that they didn’t even bother to do superficial work.
No wonder the previous Heavenly Master of Zhen Guan looked like he was out of his misery, it couldn’t be that he was hollowed out by this Master of the House in conjunction with the deacons, could it?
Wang Chen’s mind flickered, but on the surface, he remained motionless, “Deacon Xi, then Master Wu didn’t summon you?”
Xi Manyun hesitated and replied, “No.”
Then there is a conflict or a grudge?
Wang Chen raised his sword brows, “Deacon Xi, can you tell me about this Master Wu?”
Xi Manyun was even more hesitant in her heart.
She had never been on the same page as Master Wu, and thus had always been ostracized by the other party and her peers.
The previous Zhenguo Tianshi couldn’t suppress this Master Teacher, and had never done much in the past three years, making it impossible for her to defect at all.
This time, the replacement of the Zhenguo Tianshi was undoubtedly an opportunity for Ximanyun.
If she didn’t do something, she was afraid that there would be no place for her in the Upper Sundown Heavenly Master Pavilion.
However, after meeting Wang Chen, Xi Manyun was very disappointed.
Because Wang Chen was too young.
Moreover, Wang Chen had come to take up his post alone, with no one accompanying him, so it was clear that he did not come from a powerful family.
Even if he came from a small family, there were always a few companions around him.
It was highly likely that Wang Chen was a casual cultivator who had joined the clan!
A loose cultivator with no roots, coming from the Western Sea Sect’s mountain gate to the Great Ying City hundreds of thousands of miles away, how could he fight against these local snakes like Master Wu?
Xi Manyun was very pessimistic in her heart.
She had taken the initiative to pay her respects to Wang Chen, merely doing her part as a deacon.
But what Wang Chen was showing now was that he clearly wanted to arm wrestle with Master Wu.
The other party’s youthful exuberance was understandable, but Xi Manyun didn’t want to get involved.
Because she felt that she had no chance of winning.
Wang Chen waited for a moment, and when she saw that Xi Manyun did not speak, she asked again in a deep voice: “Is it hard to say?”
Somehow, Xi Manyun’s brain was hot, and she opened her mouth, “There’s nothing that’s hard to say, since Heavenly Master wants to know, then the next cultivator will know everything!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xi Manyun regretted it a little.
But she didn’t want to go back on her words either.
Anyway, the situation she was facing couldn’t get any worse, and at most, she would only lose her position as a deacon.
Wang Chen smiled, “Sit down and talk.”
He personally poured a cup of spirit tea for Xi Manyun.
“Many thanks, Heavenly Master.”
Xi Manyun calmed down after taking her seat, she organized her thoughts and told Wang Duan the current internal situation of the Upper Xun Heavenly Master Pavilion one by one.
The authority of the Upper Sundown Heavenly Master Pavilion was nominally owned by the Zhenguo Heavenly Master.
But in reality, over the past few years, the one who truly held the power was the head priest, Wu Jingwei!
Wu Jingwei is certainly not a generalized person, he is also an elder of the Great Ying Wu family, possessing a cultivation of the third level of the Purple Mansion realm, and is said to be on the verge of breaking through to the middle level.
Because of the big Ying local cultivator, behind the support of the entire cultivation family, coupled with their own strength, so the following deacons only listen to Wu Jingwei’s greetings.
The orders of the former guardian of the heavenly master, can not even go out of the upper Xun Tianshi Pavilion!
In addition, many of the gangs and societies in the Seven Square and Thirty-nine Streets were also very obedient to Wu Jingwei.
Most importantly, the Wu family has always been supportive of the Chief Heavenly Master Luo Han, and the relationship with the latter is quite good.
With a backer at the top and a foundation at the bottom, how could the lone Sub-Zhen Tianshi topple him?
Being overthrown was completely reasonable.
The former celestial master also once tried to grasp the power, the results failed miserably, simply lay flat and rot when the salted fish.
In addition, the upper Xun Tianshi Pavilion’s five hundred patrol guards are also basically controlled by Wu Jingwei.
There were quite a few sons and daughters of the Wu family inside!
The reason why Xi Manyun wasn’t all the way with Wu Jingwei was because the relationship between the Xi family and the Wu family was poor.
It was impossible for her to defect to the other side.
If it wasn’t for Chief Zhentian Master Luo Han not suppressing the Xi family for the purpose of checks and balances, otherwise Xi Manyun would have long lost her position as a deacon in the Upper Sundown Heavenly Master Pavilion.
Wang Chen was speechless after hearing this.
Dare I say that this Upper Sundown Heavenly Master Pavilion, is surnamed Wu!
