“Mara Nian greets the master.”
The woman before him was clearly dressed with care.
However, after entering, her eyes darted around, searching for something, and clearly not targeting Chen Tai.
“Lady La Nian, it’s already late. What brings you here in such a hurry?”
Chen Tai asked knowingly.
This woman was obviously without her junior brother’s support, and after hearing that the Great Zen Master was going on a pilgrimage.
Both mentally and physically, the object that had been supporting her was simply gone.
Desperate for a solution, she could only turn to Chen Tai and Uncle Guess, hoping to avoid being dealt with by Ai So.
Indeed.
Women are natural actresses.
Mara Nian immediately burst into tears.
“I-I… I’m here to seek the Master’s help.”
She disregarded her newly changed, beautiful clothes and directly knelt on the ground, crawling towards him inch by inch.
“Please Master, save me. Ai So… he’s not human!”
Then, a flood of half-truths and sensational stories poured out of Mara Nian’s mouth.
“He’s incapable of having children!”
“It wasn’t always like that. He sent the tapir to the Ban Long army, and when he returned, he was unable to have children.”
“He doesn’t love me!”
“He only cares about my family’s money! He used the power of Ban Long to force me to marry him!”
“He’s a pervert!”
“He enjoys being beaten, and he likes men!”
“He likes little boys!”
“I was forced to seek my junior brother’s help!”
“Now that my junior brother is locked up by the Great Zen Master, I… I… I have nowhere to turn.”
Mara Nian’s eyes welled with tears, and she tried to lean towards Chen Tai.
Chen Tai withdrew his foot, causing her to fall short.
“And what do you expect me to do to help you?”
His voice, empty and ethereal, echoed in the spacious room.
A hint of shyness suddenly appeared on Mara Nian’s face.
“I know the Master has a disciple named Ba Zi. He has helped the orphan army’s Lan Bo and the others. If the Master could leave him to help me…”
“Whatever the Master wants to do in Ma Niu Town, I will fully support you.”
Ultimately.
She still needed a man to fill the void.
Chen Tai hadn’t expected her to be interested in Ba Zi.
After all, that guy didn’t seem like a good person.
Especially compared to the previous Cha Po.
They were like two extremes.
One was the Great Zen Master’s disciple, with a refined and gentle demeanor, speaking slowly and thoughtfully.
The other was Chen Tai’s soldier, with a fierce and unapproachable aura, speaking rudely and coarsely.
But Chen Tai thought for a moment.
This Mara Nian was indeed cunning.
She didn’t blindly set her sights on the Great Zen Master or Chen Tai.
Instead, she settled for less.
To put it simply.
Neither the Great Zen Master nor Chen Tai would pay much attention to a small town like Ma Niu Town.
So, for her, climbing the ladder to the Great Zen Master or Chen Tai was a laborious and unrewarding endeavor.
But the Great Zen Master’s proxy, or Chen Tai’s disciple, was different.
Cha Po could stay in Ma Niu Town and fight Ai So alongside her.
She naturally assumed that Chen Tai would also leave Ba Zi behind.
After understanding this woman’s thoughts.
Chen Tai chuckled softly.
He directly called Ba Zi in.
“Lady Mara has something she needs your help with, you go with her.”
Ba Zi looked bewildered.
Me?
You’re kidding, right, Sect Master?
You know what kind of person I am.
Even if I had the function, is this how things are done?
[Just pretend to be bitten by a dog. For my grand plan, don’t you have a bit of the ‘sacrificing meat to feed hawks’ spirit?]
Chen Tai waved his hand. “Go, go.”
He then removed a ring and handed it to him.
“Don’t forget what I need when you’re handling things.”
Ba Zi’s face froze.
But he obediently took the ring.
He mumbled, “You, a sect master of a great faction, are not picky at all.”
Chen Tai watched as Mara Nian flattered and led Ba Zi towards the Buddhist Hall.
“I wonder what your expression will be when I take Ba Zi away?”
“It will be interesting, I’m sure.”
Chen Tai spread his hand, and a small halo appeared in his palm.
“The Six Desires Net, it really takes some effort to refine.”
…
Ba Zi, who had become a soldier, truly lived up to the task.
For several days, Mara Nian’s legs were weak.
The smile on Ai So’s face became increasingly strained.
After all, his forehead was getting greener and greener.
Things were developing in a direction he desperately didn’t want to see.
What is meant by ‘inviting a wolf into your house’?
What is meant by ‘using a tiger to drive away a wolf’?
This is it.
Compared to Cha Po, who only had the Great Zen Master’s backing.
His new brother-in-law, Ba Zi.
Not only was his personal strength extremely strong.
He also had ‘Master Tai’.
And Uncle Guess’s support.
But he was helpless.
He could only let it be.
And for some reason.
Mara Nian seemed to have aged several years younger overnight.
She was like a spring breeze every day.
She would sway in front of Ai So, back and forth.
Stimulating his heartbeat.
“Ha~, I’ve planned it all out.”
“I’ve planned it all out!”
Ai So muttered to himself, gritting his teeth.
…
There’s no need to go into details.
Uncle Guess invited Chen Tai to Ma Niu Town mainly to consolidate the town’s human resources.
This was also rapidly progressing with everyone’s cooperation.
Ma Niu Town, itself located within the range of influence of the warlord Ban Long.
But over time, Ai So had also hooked up with the government of Mo Bo Province.
His main business was cattle trading.
This business actually didn’t earn that much.
Now, Chen Tai had arrived.
He saw that the town was surrounded by mountains, rivers, valleys, and sunshine.
He was naturally quite satisfied.
And there was other good news.
Uncle Guess came over with a smile on his face.
“Master Tai, it’s done!”
“Shen Xing was stopped by customs when he returned to Long Guo, but his uncle is fine.”
“I asked him to help register a company in Long Guo.”
“It’s called Tai An Pharmaceutical Group, named after Master Tai’s well-being.”
“I’ve also brought the share agreement, you see?”
Chen Tai took the document.
He glanced at it casually and returned it to Uncle Guess.
“Where are the documents for the breeding farm and plantation?”
Uncle Guess laughed.
“This is Zen Guo, there’s no need for any formal procedures.”
“Just say a word to the chief officer of Ma Niu Town, Ai.”
“According to your instructions, three hills outside the town have been enclosed, along with a valley.”
“Recruitment is also underway.”
“Only…”
Uncle Guess rubbed his hands, his expression seemed a bit difficult to express.
“Only what?”
“Only, the locals are afraid of those poisonous insects, recruitment is not going well.”
Chen Tai thought for a moment.
“It’s okay, I’ll send people from Xiao Mo Nong.”
He had been a bit inconsiderate about this.
Let those with the puppet charms on them take the lead for now.
He decided to learn from the advanced experience of Long Guo.
Set up some pilot programs first.
As long as the locals see that it’s profitable.
There will naturally be some who are not afraid of death and will follow suit.
After all, what is more terrifying than poverty?
