Chapter 554 - 323 Arhat_2
"My subordinates have difficulty tracking the whereabouts of the two Arhats, so it’s not certain that they can gather accurate information. Please forgive me, Elder!" Manager Xin Shun didn’t make any guarantees but bowed his body as he spoke.
His subordinates were mostly Qi Refining Cultivators, far from being in the circles of the Arhats, not to mention lacking the authority to freely investigate around that checkpoint.
"Don’t tell me that after all these years, you have no sources of intelligence over there!" Li Yuanba said in a heavy voice.
He knew some things, of course, but they had little impact, so he turned a blind eye.
This Manager Xin Shun controlled the Senluo Sect’s commerce in Jieshan City, and in the process of dealing with the goods, he had also derived some benefits.
Li Yuanba didn’t oppose the fact that Manager Xin Shun profited a bit, but after allowing him to gain those benefits, he expected Xin Shun to do a good job when it mattered. Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind replacing the manager.
At least for the recent period, he was untouchable within the Senluo Sect—after all, his master’s grandmaster, Ancestor Lu, was currently guarding the sect gate.
Otherwise, why would Elder Situ deliver the lucrative post of managing Jieshan City into his hands if not for Ancestor Lu’s attention to him?
"Elder, I will handle it right now!" Manager Xin Shun, frightened by Li Yuanba’s threatening tone, no longer argued and took up the task.
Over the years of cooperating with the other side, how could he not have some connections? And these connections were solidly built on mutual benefits.
"Yue Xing, send this gift back to the sect for Elder Situ’s hands!" After Manager Xin Shun departed, Li Yuanba gave instructions to Deacon Yue Xing.
With Ancestor Lu above, relationships still needed to be maintained by himself.
