But it was all because of Lan Zhengfeng that they had no children to test their medicinal pills today.

How much time had been wasted, did Lan Zhengfeng even know?

“Enough, don’t talk about it anymore, what’s done is done.”

After letting out a light sigh, the man in the white robe on the left raised his hand and patted the shoulder of the person on the right, shaking his head helplessly.

If it were possible, they wouldn’t want to rely on Lan Zhengfeng to do their bidding either, there were plenty of people in Ming Gu County they could exploit, each of them from much wealthier backgrounds than Lan Zhengfeng.

But they couldn’t deny that Lan Zhengfeng’s identity was exactly what they wanted.

With the county magistrate’s title as a cover, getting children to test their pills had become much easier than before, and they no longer had to worry about getting caught, which had caused the residents of Ming Gu County to be afraid to take their children out anymore.

“Let’s wait and see if Lan Zhengfeng will send someone to deliver a child for testing tonight, if he doesn’t, then there’s no need to keep him around any longer.”

“That’s true, let’s wait and see.”

The white-robed person on the right nodded, thinking that if they didn’t receive a child for testing that night, he would definitely have the elder deal with Lan Zhengfeng once and for all and find someone more obedient to work for them.

As they spoke, the two of them opened the mechanism and strode into the passage.

Qian Jiyun, accompanied by An Jiuyue, followed them, as for Lan Zhengfeng, he was completely immobilized by Qian Jiyun’s Original Soul energy, affixed to a tree branch, his life or death ignored by everyone.

The tunnel was long and winding, taking a good while to navigate.

Eventually, the two men in white robes arrived at a very spacious cave, which could actually be considered a valley.

“Impressive indeed, to have hollowed out the bottom of a mountain like this.”

An Jiuyue couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to the Luoyang-Shao family, marveling at the large cave they had carved out of such a massive mountain.

“Elder, the number of children Lan Zhengfeng sends for testing is getting fewer and fewer. This time he even claimed they were intercepted. You really need to give him a good talking to, otherwise, next time he’ll be even more negligent and may refuse to send any children at all.”

Upon seeing the elder, one of the men in white robes immediately began to complain.

It was clear he had strong opinions about the timely delivery of the children since he was meant to receive one himself.

Moreover, he had already refined his medicinal pills and was waiting for a child to test them, to see the effects and to have time to make adjustments if necessary.

He had been looking forward to taking a child back with him, but to his dismay, not only had he not received the child he was supposed to, but even the elder’s assigned child hadn’t been delivered.

To say they had been intercepted was probably just fooling the ignorant, but he, for one, could not be deceived.

In Ming Gu County, which was now under Lan Zhengfeng’s control, could someone really intercept him? He found the idea laughable and couldn’t believe Lan Zhengfeng had come up with such a plausible excuse.

“The children were intercepted?”

The elder’s first reaction was that Lan Zhengfeng wouldn’t dare to lie to him.

If the children’s delivery was delayed or intercepted, that was the most likely possibility; after all, Lan Zhengfeng was relying on them, the Luoyang-Shao family, and would not dare to commit an act of betrayal.

“Elder, do you really believe the children were intercepted?”

The man in the white robe furrowed his brow, thinking the elder must be getting senile with age.

It was obviously just an excuse made up by Lan Zhengfeng to cover his own tracks; how could the elder believe that? Who would dare to disrespect the county magistrate in Ming Gu County?
