Chapter 95: The Total Manager of Internal Affairs, Bai Tian

  Cao Hongjuan didn't react in time, the letter clearly only said to detain Cai Lai and put him in the prison of the mansion, but it didn't say kill him! Although she thought herself bold and daring, she also didn't dare to say kill a high-ranking official. But not daring wasn't an option, she had no choice but to admire Bai Tian's clever move.

  First, immediately slow down the progress of this matter. Since Cai Yan was killed in public, Lin Huan no longer has any reason to deal with the Cao family. Everything can wait until Father returns to decide, and will not be forced to accept Lin Huan's aggressive attack.

  Second, immediately completely eliminate the internal threat of Cai Yan. It is necessary to know that simply imprisoning Cai Yan in the official prison is not enough, as he has secretly planted a large number of loyal followers within the official residence, making it easy for him to escape. If he predicts that Father will deal with him after his return, and he makes a desperate move, it will be a big trouble.

  This is also why Bai Tianxiang asked Guo Zui to take action. As soon as he took action, he killed with one blow, and didn't need these heavenly guards!

  She feared that her elder brother Cao Zhi would continue to pester him about this, so she shielded him by saying: "This is indeed Father's intention."

  Cao Zhi was only shocked by Cai Lai's death, without any sympathy. Since his sister had spoken up, he could only give in. Although he wanted to ask Cao Hongjuan to show him the contents of the letter, seeing her quickly put it away, he knew there was no use.

  Bai Tian added this move, of course, wanted to eliminate Cai Lai, this great hidden danger, but still had a hint of selfishness - taking the opportunity to get rid of Cai Lai.

  In the Cao mansion, he and Cai Yi worked together inside and out, with a clear division of labor and equal status. However, Cai Yi relied on his kinship and the master's trust to constantly fill his own pockets, planting many trusted followers in the Cao family, and even reaching into his bowl.

  He took advantage of this rare opportunity and got rid of this greedy wolf once and for all.

  Lin Heng's mind was racing rapidly, he had never met Cao Jiafu's master Cao Guan before, and his understanding of this master was very shallow.

  Last time, the lord of the manor sent a thick gift and presented his priceless second-grade treasure "Wu Nian Mo Yan", revealing his intention to recruit him. The source of this feud is from Cai Lai, this little villain, who didn't have much malice towards Cao Guan. Cao Guan's order to behead Cai Lai in public was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill towards him.

  Cao Guan was clearly unaware that Cao Jian had already died today, although not killed by Lin Huan's own hands, but rather sent to his death by Lin Huan's push into the sea of wealth. It can be said that Lin Huan bore a great deal of responsibility for Cao Jian's death. Furthermore, Lin Huan's slaughter of nearly half of the strong guards was almost equivalent to cutting off the Cao family's arm, and the grudge had already been formed, making it difficult to resolve.

  "Hmm, I must meet this Cao Guan, whether it's war or peace, there must be an end to this. I want to see what this person who has dominated Qingniu Town for decades looks like! Anyway, once he steps into the third rank and bursts out with full force, using his "Layered Extreme" and "Wind Shift" techniques, his strength is enough to rival a late-stage third-rank cultivator. He's not even worth considering if he's below fourth rank."

  His confidence comes from having the ability to talk to Cao's family on an equal footing, no longer being at a disadvantage and being manipulated by others.

  At this point, the Cao family has taken such a stance and given way, Lin Heng would not be willing to go further even if he didn't want to.

  "Since the Cao family has made concessions, and Cai Lai, that despicable person, has already been punished, Lin Heng will also give up. This matter originated from Cai Lai's insult to my father, and I apologize for the losses suffered by the Cao family in this war." He glanced at Cao Hongjuan, thinking: This so-called decisive battle was caused by Cai Lai, but it was you who directly agreed to fight. You thought I would definitely die, that I couldn't defeat three second-grade masters, and wanted to kill me with a clear conscience, showing off in Qingniu Town! I've pushed the responsibility onto Cai Lai, without slapping your face, already giving this so-called young mistress a lot of face."

  I have narrowly escaped death several times on Mount Manghu, and it's all thanks to you. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be promoted to the third rank, not only would Lin Huan be gone, but even my family and the entire village of Qili Gou would have been slaughtered by your Cao family. Out of respect for your father, I'll let bygones be bygones and won't hold it against you.

  If you dare to provoke me again in the future, I will show no mercy at all.

  Bai Tian looked at him with a serious expression, afraid that the young lady would get angry, and held up his hands to block her view: "It was indeed Cai's instigation that led to our huge misunderstanding. However, it's also good that we didn't fight, and this misunderstanding has allowed us to establish a relationship due to misfortune turning into good fortune. Our master has always highly valued Master Lin, and when he heard about your successful medicine washing, he immediately ordered me to give you the second-grade treasure 'Wu Nian Mo Zhu' which is his most treasured possession... I hope that in the future when Master Lin becomes a prominent figure, he can take care of our Cao family."

  Lin Heng was taken aback, and once again he sized up Bai Tian. This person was indeed experienced in handling matters, speaking and acting without any flaws. With the strength of the Cao family's first house, why would Lin Heng need to curry favor with him? It was obvious that Bai Tian was publicly praising him, but why was he doing so? Was it really just because of the harmonious relationship between the two families?

  Bai Tian is eliminating his hostility and vigilance!

  At this point, with the appearance of Bai Tian, Lin Huan has suddenly changed from a full-on attack to a defensive stance. The future development is entirely in the hands of the Cao family, whether to continue fighting or make peace. How and when to fight are all decided by the Cao family, and Lin Huan can only passively accept it.

  Lin Heng saw this subtle situation, but he was also helpless because his strength had not reached the point of easily destroying the Cao family; secondly, with Bai Tian's decisive killing, he killed Cai Lai and later publicly expressed his attitude, he lost the legitimacy to challenge.

  Lacking strength and without righteous support, he can only passively defend himself.

  The century's first grand war came to an end with a bang, leaving behind a trail of thrilling and exciting moments. Everyone felt that it was worth coming for, as this was undoubtedly the most shocking historical day they had ever experienced in their lifetime. Even after the curtain call, everyone continued to talk incessantly, enthusiastically discussing the highlights of the event.

  Lu Fuzi looked at the back of Bai Tian and said lightly: "This General Manager Bai is indeed a talented person, decisive in his actions, ruthless and merciless. If he hadn't appeared, I'm afraid those useless Cao family young masters and misses, as well as the Heaven's Guard, would have let Lin Hengtu off scot-free. Even if Cao Guan returns, due to pressure, they can only fight another battle with the Seven Li Gorge. Both sides will suffer heavy losses in the war, and even if they win, their vitality will be greatly damaged. With other forces taking advantage of the situation, the glorious Cao family, which has lasted for nearly a hundred years, will undoubtedly be completely finished."

  Bai Tian nodded and said, "Bai Tian's move to kill Cai Lai was indeed a clever move. Abandoning Cai Lai, who is not capable of achieving anything but only causes trouble, solved the pressing issue with Lin Heng and gave the Cao family the initiative. However, I have some doubts that he fabricated the 'imperial edict', Cao Pi never ordered him to kill Cai Lai, this was his own doing, eliminating a dissident."

  Lu Zizhong smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "That's why I said he was a talented person. Although Cai Lai was beheaded by him without authorization, I guarantee that when Cao Kun returns, he will severely punish him on the surface but must secretly reuse him."

  As the war ended and time passed, the details of the war were like the wind blowing into every corner of Qingniu Town.

  The ancestral hall of Chen's village, Chen Weihu's tightly clenched fist slammed onto the table: "Damn it, Qili Gou has really made a big deal! Lin Lang not only didn't die at Cao's hands, but actually let him become the first native third-rank official in Qingniu Town!"

  His heavy fist slammed down, the tremendous force causing the teapot and cups on the table to jump up with a loud crash, falling to the ground, tea water and ceramic shards scattered all over.

  Lin Heng and Chen Que's dispute is his heart disease. At the moment when Chen Que was in full swing, Lin Heng suddenly emerged and snatched a lot of limelight. Now that things have come to this, the two are not only competing for fame, but also seriously competing for tangible benefits generated by their reputation!

  Not long ago, Lin Heng was about to offend the Cao family to death. The Cao family sent out three second-grade officials in the later period, vowing to kill Lin Heng alive. He was filled with joy and pleasure at the misfortune of others. Once Lin Heng died, Qingniu Town would only have Chen Que left, and no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Unexpectedly, such a situation suddenly appeared. Before that, it was easy to say that Chen Que and Lin Heng were both second-grade officials, but now Lin Heng has made a shocking move, flying up to third-grade in an unbelievable way, leaving Chen Que far behind. What kind of taste is this for the head of the clan?

  Damn it, Lin Heng is really too abnormal! Two months, just two months to rush from second-rate early stage to third-rate!

  Chen Weihu shook his head, he really couldn't understand how heaven could produce such a perverted character!

  "Tribe leader." Chen Que's figure appeared at the entrance.

  His eyes swept to the tea cup scattered on the ground, and he was slightly stunned. He naturally guessed that Chen Weihu had received the result of Lin's decisive battle, which made him feel depressed.

  Chen Weihu's mood was getting worse, but seeing this village's future hope, he also put on a smile and said: "Chen Que, you're here."

  Chen Que stepped forward, paused for a moment, and said: "I plan to leave in a week to undergo rigorous training at the Cang Yu Men, and return three years later."

  Chen Weihu was taken aback, but soon understood that Lin Heng's progress had also triggered Chen Que's fighting spirit, so he decided to go all out and charge at the boundary. He sympathized with Chen Que's thoughts, as Chen Que was accepted by Guest Elder of Cangyuemen as a disciple, but Guest Elder was not actually a member of Cangyuemen, so he had asked Chen Que to hang his name under Cangyuemen. However, Chen Que, due to some special reason, was extremely stubborn and never went.

  "Uh, okay. Chenjiacun can still hold on for a few more years, after that it's up to you to achieve something. Our Chen family has always found it hard to stand out, but now with your exceptional talent, it's a great opportunity. You must seize this chance and lead Chenjiacun to a brighter future."

  Chen Que said with a bow: "As long as I, Chen Que, am alive for one day, I will certainly make the Chen family village glorious for one day!"

  Just as Chen Weihu had expected, Lin Heng's breakthrough shook him violently.

  On the day of the battle at Cao's house, Chen Que was preparing to challenge Lin Huan with his 2nd-grade late-stage cultivation base to prove that he was more powerful than Lin Huan, but gave up under Chen Weihu's guidance. Unexpectedly, two months later, Lin Huan emerged and became a 3rd-grade cultivator, brutally killing the 2nd-grade late-stage cultivators like they were small mice, leaving him far behind. Lin Huan used his strength to prove in front of everyone that he was a hundred times more powerful than Chen Que!

  Even if it were himself, he knew that Lin Huanjin's entry into the third rank was proof of his own lack of self-awareness in inviting a battle on that day, and felt ridiculous! Would someone who could enter the third rank in one or two months be inferior to him?

  Lin Heng's strong comeback thoroughly touched his bottom line of self-esteem, which is why he made this decision.

  These days, the century-old war still leaves people with a lot of hot topics to discuss.

  They naturally killed the three great heavenly guards of Lin, approached Cao's house to punish Cai Lai and enjoyed it, but what excited them the most was that Lin entered the third rank! After two months of sprinting and bitter practice, he successfully broke through to the third rank, becoming the first third-rank strongman in Qingniu Town.

  The protagonist Lin Huan was unmoved by these superficial praises and discussions, he sat quietly alone in the room his sister had left for him to avoid the commotion, with his legs crossed and eyes closed, introspecting his spiritual sea, exploring the new third vortex of potential that had emerged after entering the third rank.

  After successfully impacting the four-product inner elixir in the mountain cave of Manghu Mountain, Lin Heng feared that he would not be able to catch up with the opening time of the war, so he hurriedly rushed back. After rushing back, he also entered a state of combat. After the battle, he also conducted some follow-up discussions with the clan leader and several elders, and greeted some guests.

  Until he entered the third grade, he never had time to realize his newly born strength.
