Chapter 369 – A Martial Artist’s Business

Xue Mu’s words were too obvious in his defense of Mu Jian Li, and belonged to the kind that came out of his mouth, which was really a bit strange in other people’s ears, and the people of the Sword Wind Martial Hall looked at each other, all of them flooded with the same thought: this constable couldn’t be an admirer of Patriarch Mu, could he?

The more I think about it, the more it looks like ah ……

The crowd looked at Yue Xiaochan who was standing beside Xue Mu, who was smiling and unimpressed. That Pavilion Master then tentatively asked, “What’s the name of this constable?”

Xue Mu threw his belt tag into his hand and coldly said, “Is it necessary to inspect it?”

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” Saying that he didn’t dare, the Pavilion Master still grabbed the waist plate and looked at it back and forth.

It was indeed a Department Six gold medal, the workmanship to the material was almost instantly recognizable. On the Divine Mechanic door unique Divine Mechanic, after the original owner drops blood to recognize the card, then only the original owner handheld will show the position name avatar, in the hands of others immediately disappeared, basically can not be forged, but also can not seize the card to impersonate.

The owner of the pavilion to get in the hand and found that the handwriting all disappear, it is clear to know that it is the real thing. If like the original Yu Lin and other cultivation, the soul of a probe to know, simply do not need to take the hand test.

Before the handwriting disappeared, the owner of the pavilion also saw the name on the plate with a sharp eye: Mu Xue.

Xue Mu had two waist tags, both of which were real tags. A real name has never been used, this special fake name plate for the south should have been canceled after the completion of the mission, but Department Six will not look for him to ask about this small matter, and get to the point where it is still in use.

Since it is really Department Six, the group verbally despise the eagle dog, in fact, inwardly still relatively assured that this attribute, always is not what evil intentions of the demon. This moment highlights Xue Mu’s favor of driving away the Heavenly Sword Sect, the owner of the pavilion can no longer care that he is also the one who received a beating, warmly greeted, “Mu shoujou can drink?”

“Speak human.”

“Look at this day is going to snow, Mu constable into the house to drink a few cups of hot wine?”

“Tsk ……” Xue Mu looked at the sky: “It’s really rare to see this kind of enthusiasm in Jianzhou. No more scolding of hawks and dogs?”

“It’s all a misunderstanding ……”

Xue Mu retracted his gaze and said with a straight face, “It’s good to sit down, wine is not necessary, I want to investigate the case.”

Yue Xiaochan almost didn’t laugh when she saw his serious look, this guy really took himself as a constable, and he’s investigating a case?

It turned out that Xue Mu was really investigating the case.

When they reached the house, the pavilion owner warmed the wine and introduced himself, “My name is Li, Li Zhennan.”

Xue Mu leisurely patted his fan, and began to speak no human language himself: “Why does Zhennan live in the north?”

Li Zhennan in turn was very used to it, “For where the clan is located, this is the south.”

“Haha ……” Yue Xiaochan next to him laughed: “Pavilion Master has the ambition to revitalize the south of the Sword State for the Questioning Sword Sect?”

Li Zhennan said, “This is my father’s ambition, because I didn’t come up with the name myself.”

Xue Mu also laughed. Seeing that Li Zhennan was pouring wine, he asked, “How does your martial arts school make a living? Take in disciples for tuition? Is it just money?”

“Mainly tuition, there are bonuses for martial arts competitions between martial arts schools, and occasionally I get paid for helping people fight.” Li Zhennan casually replied, “Gold, silver, grain, rice, and elixir materials can all be offset against the fees, it’s not purely money.”

Xue Mu pondered, this was about the most basic form of livelihood for the righteous martial artists, when the Mighty Tiger Sect was almost in the same mode, once the source of apprenticeships was gone, it would be very easy to not be able to last.

Yue Xiaochan said, ”That Heavenly Sword Sect is your superior sect? I don’t see you treating them like a superior either.”

“The Heavenly Sword Sect’s rank is higher than ours, and it’s rooted in the same place, so nominally we are under their authority. But our martial arts school is not affiliated to him, my old son’s own brother is a deacon of the Spirit Sword Mountain, and is on the same level as his Heavenly Sword Sect, so what’s the point of being afraid of him?”

Yue Xiaochan nodded and stopped asking, it seemed that this kind of situation was relatively common and not rare.

On the contrary, it was Xue Mu who frowned, a super sect like the Questioning Sword Sect, the forces associated with the sect expanded throughout the entire Sword State for thousands of miles, and even in other places as well. And it’s not as simple as playing a game of escalation, what with a level three governing ten level fours, and a level two governing ten level threes, the organization is so clear and detailed. Rather, a small family in County A may be involved in County B’s mountain, and their sons and nephews may have joined C state’s halls, which is as intricate as a spider’s web.

Even if you let him Xue Mu to manage, also have to be anxious for a good period of time to do, ask the sword clan that a group of self-care sword practice no matter what the matter of the swordsman, the truth can be clear?

If you don’t, the various levels are likely to lead to disorganization, once someone in the middle of the link is out of order, not chaotic to have a ghost.

Li Zhennan gulp gulp drank a big mouthful of wine, and said: “Not to mention the heavenly sword faction of the gang of brats, this time obviously blindly, this Iron Mountain County, counted on their subordinate martial arts halls and families are scraped three feet, with a variety of reasons for plowing a few times back and forth, even if we can tolerate, right, but their hands are reaching out to the other rivers and lakes gangs to go, and also look for the street to collect money from decent businessmen, what is this? What is this? Shouldn’t we collect the rent next time? Is this government tax collection or mob protection money?”

Xue Mu also knew that the Jianzhou territory wasn’t full of Ask Sword Sect-affiliated forces, just like the Heron State, there was also the White Heron Sect and so on, which might not necessarily be subordinate to the Blameless Temple. Some of them are even the high sects with a long tradition, although not as good as the eight sects of the righteousness, but also holding back to compare with the eight sects, many of the world martial arts are these sects of the people.

If the hand to these sects to reach …… or just reach to their cover people, will ask the sword clan will cause a lot of trouble.

Li Zhennan angrily said: ”Ask the Sword Sect’s main ceremony, off what other sects, if you want to show a little bit of intention that is their own business, which have door to door to collect? We’re a righteous sect, we do business in an honorable manner, not robbers!”

Xue Mu pondered for a moment and asked, “What is the Heavenly Sword Sect’s own livelihood?”

“They are a mountain sect outside the city, with land at the foot of the mountain and their own mining behind the mountain. The other thing is that the following offerings, he will cut off a small portion, it’s a tacit agreement.” Li Zhennan wondered, “Generally the sects that open mountains and establish sects are mostly like this, Sheriff Mu doesn’t know about this?”

Xue Mu hardened his mouth and said, “Who said I don’t know, I just want to know the situation of the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

Yue Xiaochan asked in a low voice, “What did you think of?”

“There’s absolutely no way that this kind of thing could have been ordered by Jian Li, there’s no need to doubt it at all. I was originally thinking that it could be an instruction from the other higher-ups of the Ask Sword Sect, in order to organize a grand ceremony without losing face, but now it doesn’t seem like it either.” Xue Mu mused, “Rather, it’s more like the Heavenly Sword Sect taking a chicken feather as an order, and it’s not certain if the various types of resources collected have been uplifted or not.”

Li Zhennan’s eyes widened, “They dare?”

Xue Mu glanced at him and laughed, “It’s a good thing if there’s no uplift.”

“Why?”

“Because without the upper solution, things are simpler, it’s just their own selfish desires, taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.” Xue Mu said indifferently, “But if it’s really solved upwards, it’s complicated… Can you be sure if someone above authorized it to be done, or if they themselves did it to appease the higher-ups, or if they only coveted the portion that they could intercept? Or is it simply that someone is deliberately trying to tarnish the reputation of the Questioning Sword Sect? Or is it both, killing multiple birds with one stone?”

Li Zhennan’s eyes have become circles, where are so many names ah …… is the person with the fan such a belly of bad water?

Yue Xiaochan then asked, “Does Pavilion Master Li know the situation in other places?”

Li Zhennan looked ugly, “It’s pretty much the same everywhere, not just the Heavenly Sword Sect like this.”

Xue Mu turned his head and asked Yue Xiaochan, “What do you think?”

Yue Xiaochan was chuffed, “Isn’t this simple? Why bother guessing, we can explore the Heavenly Sword Sect at night!”

Xue Mu’s heart stirred and he was suddenly very interested. He had never done this kind of thing before! How could one not do something so fun?

“But Xiaochan, you’re also so interested in the matter of Jian Li?”

“What am I interested in? She loves to die or not.” Yue Xiaochan smiled with two dimples, “It’s just that it’s fun to go with you to solve the case.”

“I also feel very fun.”

Li Zhennan looked at this pair of children, how to see how to feel the nature of play more than solving the case …… To say so, the Heavenly Sword Sect eighty percent is no matter if there is something or not have to be unlucky ……
