Chapter 164 A Chance Encounter! Ma Hongjun Actually Became a Fan!
The purple-robed butler probed for a moment before realizing that the idiot beside him had been scared to death.
Although he wasn't quite that disgraced, he still lay sprawled on the ground with a gloomy expression, seemingly suffering for his impending fate.
"They'll be killed."
He thought to himself silently.
But Su Chen didn't kill him. Instead, he stepped forward and reached out his hand, still with that slight smile.
The purple-robed steward, trembling, was pulled up by Su Chen and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I...I don't have to die?"
"I've investigated this area."
How could Su Chen come without making any preparations?
After conducting his investigation, he discovered that although the purple-robed steward was somewhat arrogant, he was not a particularly wicked or evil person.
It's just that the deputy hall master surnamed Tang is his brother-in-law, so he usually takes care of him.
As for the matter of killing someone, the purple-robed steward had no idea.
"That idiot next to you deserves to die. I didn't expect him to be scared to death. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him go."
"As for you, people have a pretty good opinion of you. But appearances can be deceiving, so I won't hold it against you and will spare your life."
"Thank you, thank you for your magnanimity, Heavenly Saint! I thought, I thought I was going to die."
Su Chen shook his head, thinking to himself, "I'm not some kind of idiot who would kill my own family's low-level cadre for two women I've only met once."
People who do this kind of thing must have serious mental problems.
Su Chen was always concerned about whether the core of the Spirit Hall had deteriorated from the very beginning.
From Longcheng's perspective, although there is some nepotism, it's not a major problem.
It was much better than he had expected.
Indeed, those in power cannot be separated from the masses.
This is true in any world; only by communicating with the masses can one maintain the purity of one's beliefs.
His actions of spreading the communication soul tool, holding daily morning meetings, and creating a god-like figure for Bibi Dong were all correct.
"Stop talking about whether she's dead or not, and do more productive work. I have a connection with those two women inside, so please help them out in the far north."
"Yes, Lord Celestial Prince!"
After this incident, there was nothing else to do. Su Chen gave some instructions, then spread his silver wings and flew away.
There are still many things to do; he needs to return to the Heavenly Dou Empire and communicate with Qian Renxue first.
The purple-robed steward watched Su Chen leave and knelt on the ground in reverence.
As he watched the silver light disappear into the distance, he decided that he would settle accounts with his wife's family when he got home!
No one can affect the purity of his beliefs in the Spirit Hall!
The two people inside the hall had no idea what had happened. When they saw the purple-robed steward return, their fear hadn't subsided, and they huddled together in fear.
But when they saw the purple-robed steward untie the ropes from the two of them, they were still surprised when the purple-robed steward spoke up.
After some explanation, the reason was cleared up, and Sister Lan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"It really is that legendary Celestial Child! We never thought we'd be so lucky to meet someone like him."
"What happened today was my oversight, and our Spirit Hall will arrange treatment for both of you."
"Of course, there will be subsequent compensation. If you are not satisfied, you can also complain to our superiors."
Sister Lan was delighted to hear this, as today's dramatic turn of events was truly exaggerated. However, Xueyi quietly asked a question from the side.
"Has he already left?"
Sister Lan and the purple-clad steward were taken aback. Looking at the girl's appearance and tone, they immediately understood that she had fallen in love.
Sister Lan couldn't help but sigh, and the purple-robed steward also shook his head.
It's true that you shouldn't meet someone too amazing when you're young.
"Can I...can I join the Spirit Hall?"
Seeing the two of them like this, Xueyi, being as intelligent as she was, naturally understood quite a bit.
The purple-robed steward naturally wouldn't refuse, but Sister Lan was taken aback for a moment before Xueyi continued speaking.
"Our identities may seem very different now, but I'll start by joining the Spirit Hall and, in my own way, gradually get closer to him!"
Xueyi's words were resounding, but Su Chen had no idea that he had just done something casually, yet it had attracted a young girl to work hard for him.
Su Chen moved very quickly, returning to the city in just over a day.
As he passed by, a sudden sensation made him stop.
"Hahaha, monster! Fatty! Red-haired potato!"
"What are you doing but crying! Fight back!"
In a small alley, a chubby boy with red hair was fighting back fiercely.
However, his wild punches were clearly ineffective, and he was quickly surrounded and beaten up.
Just as I was wiping away tears and snot, a piece of paper was suddenly handed to me from behind.
"Wipe it off, your nose and tears are all over your face."
The chubby boy turned around and saw a very handsome older brother.
He felt a little embarrassed that others saw him like this, so the chubby boy pretended not to care and stubbornly insisted.
"I didn't cry, I just smudged my face. I'm Ma Hongjun! A Soul Master! I'm destined to become someone like the legendary Heavenly Saint Su Chen!"
Su Chen never expected that he would encounter one of the future Shrek Seven Devils, the second-level deity Phoenix God Ma Hongjun, in this somewhat funny situation. Ma Hongjun is a chubby boy who is loyal and righteous but forced to be lecherous.
Upon hearing what he said again, I asked him, half-jokingly.
Why do you worship the Heavenly Saint?
"I have been an orphan since I was very young. I have clothes to wear and food to eat, all thanks to the Spirit Hall's investigation and support."
"Grandpa Village Chief said that these things didn't exist before. The Empire didn't care about the lives of us commoners. It was all the idea of the Heavenly Saint Son of the Spirit Hall. I... I should repay this kindness."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun proudly showed off his new clothes.
"I have two sets of this outfit a year, one for winter and one for summer. I can't even wear them all!"
Su Chen looked at Ma Hongjun, but fell silent.
His decisions at the time were simply to discover potential Soul Masters and to enhance his power.
After all, in this fantasy world, food and clothing are nothing to a power like the Spirit Hall, yet they had such an effect.
"Little fatty, since you admire the Heavenly Saint so much, do you even know what the Heavenly Saint looks like?"
"Of course I know!"
Ma Hongjun said this with great pride.
"When I went to the Spirit Hall for my awakening last time, I saw a portrait of the Heavenly Saint! The Heavenly Saint is about my age! But he's thinner and much better looking than me! Silver hair! Black eyes! Just like..."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun's gaze involuntarily shifted to the smiling, silver-haired older brother in front of him.
