Chapter 1691 - 1685: Leader?
"Young friend, these things cannot be rushed. I’ll take a good look later and see when it’s suitable." The Taoist seemed to see through Chen Yang’s thoughts, and smiled meaningfully.
Chen Yang didn’t respond to him. After watching the mountain together for a few more minutes, they went down the mountain together.
When he got home, Chen Yang didn’t idle around and immediately started preparing dinner.
As for the Taoist, as soon as he got home, he took action as well.
He moved a chair to the yard and lay down, flipping through an old book to study the so-called auspicious date for releasing water.
By the time Chen Yang had finished cooking, the Taoist had almost finished his research.
As they sat at the table eating, he said calmly, "We are in luck. I just did some research, and four days from now is an auspicious day, very suitable for opening the gates to release water!"
Hearing "four days," Chen Yang didn’t have much of a reaction.
Because that timing wasn’t too long nor too short, it was just average.
"Alright, then four days it is. The water channel should be dry by then." Chen Yang nodded.
"Yes."
The Taoist also nodded slightly, and then the two of them didn’t say much more as they quietly ate their meal.
After eating, the Taoist immediately went to the backyard, while Chen Yang tidied up the dishes and then planned to go to his room to absorb the remaining Spirit Stones.
If there’s nothing else to do tonight, he could also take a trip to the neighboring county to mine more Spirit Stones.
Having tasted the benefits of absorbing the Spirit Stones, he really didn’t want to go back to the slow-paced cultivation.
The Spiritual Energy surge in the morning was alright, but during normal hours, the Spiritual Energy in the air was ridiculously scarce, leaving him with no motivation.
That night, he went sleepless again.
In the first half of the night, he focused on absorbing Spirit Stones.
In the latter half, he took Xiao Huang and rushed to the neighboring county, using the same method to mine quite a few Spirit Stones from the site.
With Xiao Huang around, he returned fully loaded.
After tidying up a bit at home, the day broke.
When the Taoist got up, he saw Chen Yang practicing boxing in the yard.
"Chen Yang, young friend, you’re up quite early today, exercising?" The Taoist smiled as he walked into the yard and chatted with Chen Yang.
Chen Yang didn’t respond, continuing with his boxing.
"Young friend, my eyelid has been twitching these past two days. I feel something bad might happen," the Taoist continued to chat about another topic when Chen Yang didn’t answer.
Hearing this, Chen Yang responded.
"What could possibly happen? The water channel is ready, and your temple is under construction. Everything is fine," Chen Yang said.
The Taoist lay back on the chair.
"Everything’s indeed fine, but my eyelids are twitching, and it makes me uneasy," the Taoist replied.
"Maybe you’re just bored, find something to do, and it’ll stop," Chen Yang said offhandedly.
Originally, these words were just a joke, but unexpectedly, the Taoist took them seriously.
"There’s some truth to what you say. I should find something to do. Just sitting at your house every day isn’t ideal either." The Taoist nodded approvingly.
Then he fell into deep thought, as if pondering what he could do.
Chen Yang didn’t pay him any further attention and, after practicing boxing for a while, went about his own business.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Yang thought about heading to the village office to check on the situation at the town office.
But before he left, he received a message from Wu Kexin, saying the office had taken care of everything with no problem.
Seeing this news, Chen Yang was in great spirits.
With the town office sorted out, Fuling Village’s coal mine was as good as his.
He could quietly take it over.
"Better call Jingman first to prepare for what’s next."
Chen Yang thought for a moment and decisively took out his phone to call Wang Jingman and explain the situation.
Hearing the office had been sorted, Wang Jingman’s tone became noticeably more excited.
"Great, I’ll have someone contact Village Chief Li immediately. Once everything’s prepared, I’ll sign the contract with them straightaway." Wang Jingman said excitedly.
"Okay, then I’ll wait for your good news."
Chen Yang nodded with a smile, then hung up the phone.
For him, Fuling Village’s coal mine was very important, as it was a significant resource of Spirit Stones, invaluable against any amount of money.
If he could acquire it just like that, it would indeed be a huge gain for him.
Thinking about it excited him quite a bit.
Ding ding ding...
Just as Chen Yang was lost in thought, his phone rang again.
He originally thought maybe Wang Jingman had forgotten something, so she was calling back.
When he checked, it was Tan Jing calling.
"Why is Tan Jing calling? Could it be something to do with yesterday’s events?" Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then decided to answer the call.
"Hello, Tan Jing, what’s up?"
"Chen Yang, are you busy right now? If not, could you come to my office? A leader wants to talk to you," Tan Jing said.
"What? Your leader wants to talk to me?"
Chen Yang was surprised to hear this and couldn’t have imagined this was the reason for the call.
"Yes, our leader wants to chat with you," Tan Jing confirmed, then briefly explained yesterday’s events to Chen Yang.
After hearing her out, Chen Yang fell into contemplation.
The video from yesterday revealed things that were quite unusual.
Could it be that the leader had seen it and possibly realized he was a cultivator?
"Chen Yang, judging by the leader’s expression, there seems to be something they want to discuss with you. If you have time, you should come by. It might be something good," Tan Jing said with a laugh.
Chen Yang considered her words and agreed.
"Alright, I’ll come by if I have time."
"Ok, I’ll hang up now. Just contact me when you arrive," Tan Jing laughed and ended the call.
After hanging up, Chen Yang didn’t have anything else to do.
So he decided to just drive to the county town.
On the way there, he kept thinking about why Tan Jing’s leader wanted to see him.
He couldn’t fathom what they could want.
If it were anyone else, he probably wouldn’t bother.
But since it was Tan Jing’s superior, he had no choice but to go.
It would be best to find out what this so-called leader wanted.
Half an hour later, Chen Yang arrived at the county police station.
Following Tan Jing’s instructions, he didn’t go in yet; instead, he parked his car at the police station entrance and took out his phone to call Tan Jing, letting her know he had arrived.
"Wow, you got here already? So fast? Okay, I’ll come to you right away, wait for me a bit."
Tan Jing was initially surprised, then quickly ended the call and hurried out from the police station.
"Chen Yang, you were so quick, you came right after I called, huh?" Tan Jing said with a smile when she saw Chen Yang outside.
Chen Yang also smiled in response.
"Of course, how could I not come quickly when your boss asked to see me?" Chen Yang replied with a grin.
Upon hearing that, Tan Jing rolled her eyes: "Alright, stop joking. Follow me inside, I’ll take you to meet the leader."
With that, Tan Jing led the way into the police station.
Chen Yang quickly followed her inside.
