Xia Ling's expression turned serious. She could already sense that there were many terrifying existences hidden in this bustling city that ordinary people would never come into contact with in their entire lives.
In the beginning, the people who posed a threat were those who practiced martial arts.
However, as the threat of the martial artists was resolved, the cultivators had surfaced again.
These cultivators were the same as Long Chen. They were all beings with extraordinary powers, unlike the humans who practiced martial arts.
This was because cultivators could pose an unprecedented threat to Long Chen.
In this world, it was okay to brag, but no one dared to say that they were undefeatable. How could there be an undefeatable person?
If there was, it must be someone who had stood tall in the long river of time. Not to mention the world of men, even in the vast sea of stars, there might not be such an existence.
That was why Xia Ling never felt that Long Chen was invincible. She always thought of the worst and started working hard from the worst.
Thus, Xia Ling immediately gave a suggestion, " Long Chen, I think we still need to strengthen our strength. Or rather, we don't have enough trump cards. We need more trump cards so that our enemies can't see through us. We need to make them feel that we're unfathomable. That's why they won't dare to attack us easily.
that's very reasonable. Don't worry, we have a stronger trump card. You'll find out very soon. Long Chen said with a smile.
The Dragon Hall was undoubtedly one of Long Chen's powerful trump cards.
However, Long Chen also knew that the Dragon Hall alone might not be enough.
Since that was the case, he would personally nurture an even more powerful force after the Dragon Hall moved into the great Xia Manor.
As for the candidates, Long Chen already had an idea.
These people were Xia Ling and the others who were the closest to him.
By raising Xia Ling and the others 'cultivation to a higher level, he would be able to nurture them into even more powerful experts. Not only would they be able to protect themselves, but they would also be able to help him greatly.
However, Long Chen didn't tell Xia Ling about this idea, as it wasn't the right time yet.
Xia Ling didn't probe further on this matter, but she asked another question, " "After the great Xia Manor is built, are the people sent down by the higher-ups, or did you make arrangements?"
"If the higher-ups don't arrange for anyone to come down, I'll make the decision." Long Chen said with a smile.
"I understand." "The trump card you're talking about is those people who are about to enter the great Xia Manor, right?" Xia Ling asked.
"You're so smart, you deserve a reward."
Long Chen gently patted Xia Ling's plump buttocks.
Xia Ling's body trembled from the slap as she said in a tender voice, " "So annoying, flirting with me in broad daylight but not giving it to me, Hmph."
"Who said no?" Long Chen pulled Xia Ling along. let's go. There's a quiet Hall over there.
"Aiya, don't mess around. The great Xia Manor is not completed yet. You can't mess around here." Xia Ling laughed.
"There's no taboo, don't be afraid,"
Long Chen pulled Xia Ling away.
Xia Ling couldn't change Long Chen's mind, so she had no choice but to obey.
The happy day passed in a flash.
In the following days, while long Chen was supervising the construction of the great Xia Manor, he was also discussing with Xia Ling on how to set up the various departments.
Day after day, in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The great Xia Manor was finally completed.
At the same time, almost all the troops of the Dragon Hall had left. Only a dozen or so people were left to guard the Dragon Hall. The rest had secretly entered the Qian Prefecture's great Xia Prefecture.
At the same time, Long Chen transferred most of the people in Dragon Shadow's security to the great Xia Manor to do Daily Defense work.
The people who often moved around the great Xia Manor were all filled with curiosity after seeing the construction of the great Xia Manor.
However, aside from the core members of the Grand Xia Manor, no one knew what the Grand Xia Manor was.
Some people were curious and wanted to go closer to ask, but when they were still 100 feet away, they were stopped by Dragon Shadow's security guards.
Inside the great Xia Manor, Long Chen was talking to long 'er and the others.
He once again explained the duties of the great Xia Manor in detail, and long 'er and the others listened attentively.
yes, " Long Chen said softly, " we'll be divided into three departments, namely Skynet, combat, and finance.
First, let's talk about Skynet. Skynet was easy to understand. It was the Department for collecting information. The people in this Department were the brothers and sisters who used to be in charge of related work in the Dragon Hall.
The combat division is the division in charge of combat. This division is the most important part of our great Xia Prefecture and can be divided into four groups: heaven, earth, black, and yellow.
"Finally, let's talk about the finance department. We brothers have come from the deep mountains to the bustling city. We are no longer free labor. Every month, we will pay everyone's salary. The person in charge of the finance department will be Xia Ling."
Long Chen pointed at Xia Ling.
Xia Ling smiled and nodded at the crowd, " I hope that we can work together happily in the future. Also, there's something I want to tell you. The people from our finance department can also join in the battle when necessary.
"Oh, really? Hey, miss Xia, I feel that your body is delicate and weak. I'm afraid you won't be able to fight."
Dragon four said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xia Ling calmly replied, " "Are you looking down on women?"
"No, no, no, absolutely not." our temple master is a woman too, " long si said. I'm just suspicious of your combat power.
"Alright," he said. "We'll talk about it in the future," Xia Ling replied.
"Don't." Long Chen smiled. there's no time like the present. How about this? long si, you and Xia Ling will fight.
"Don't, big brother." brother! long si waved his hand. I never bully women.
"She's my woman.
Long Chen said with a smile.
"I'll make up."
Dragon four was shocked.
Then, Dragon Four's face turned pale and he said hurriedly, " sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was being rude just now.
"Your big brother already said that he wants you to fight with me, so let's fight."
Xia Ling laughed.
"Don't, don't, don't. I wouldn't dare."
Dragon four said hurriedly.
if I tell you to beat her, just do it. If you can beat your sister-in-law, then I'll let you be the boss of the yellow group. Long Chen said.
"Big brother, are you serious?"
Dragon four was tempted.
"A gentleman never goes back on his word."
Long Chen said with a smile.
come on, don't waste time. There can only be four bosses in the four groups, heaven, earth, black, and yellow. The opportunity is fleeting.
Xia Ling laughed.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Dragon four got into a fighting stance.
"Come."
Xia Ling was also on high alert.
BOOM! BOOM!
Dragon four suddenly attacked. His fist was covered in a layer of golden light.
This was the combination of spirit energy and true Qi, which was extremely powerful.
Xia Ling was a little nervous and attacked with all her might.
This was Xia Ling's first true battle against someone.
BOOM! BOOM!
She raised her hand, circulated her spirit energy, and sent a palm strike at Dragon four. As she struck, a blue light suddenly condensed into a huge palm shadow in front of Xia Ling's palm, which collided with Dragon Four's fist.
After a dull bang, Dragon four groaned and was sent flying more than a hundred feet away.
"Eh? Am I that strong?"
Xia Ling herself was stunned.
