The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 177 - Small Event at Headquarters

"There's been enough of your blue haru meeting," nosy Shui exasperated, Xin Chen knitted his brows. Where maybe this is called a blue haru meeting, just woke up The fox has hit him.

Shui pointed at his bloody and bruised cheeks and temples.

"You know what this fox is?" He looked exasperated, The Lightning Fox did not feel any sin.

"First," he said. "You made me bounce against the wall until I bruised my cheek."

"Both of my turn was hit by the ground. Then suddenly your duarr turned giant and smashed an incredible scratch until my temple bled in the rubble."

"Oh." The Lightning Fox replied, not at all enthusiastic.

"Oh? JUST OH?"

Xin Chen saw Shui had already started folding his sleeves, willing to fight like him. The affairs of his face that became a victim of Shui indiscriminate who will face him. Xin Chen tried to break up, "Patience ... Shui, patiently beloved fox."

"Hold me, Chen. Hold it!"

The Lightning Fox annoyed itself at Shui's behavior, electrocuting the demon until it stopped blabbing. She asked for a rope and directly tied Shui, locking him in the room alone.

"Actually I want you to rest until your body recovers. But I also have to look after the mother in Fanlu Town."

"Then we go straight there. From your story earlier, it looks like things are still not good." The Lightning Fox closed the door as Xin Chen walked out. Noting Huo Rong had just finished with the repair of the headquarters.

"But there is nothing wrong with celebrating small events. Come along. We're leaving tonight."

Gurgling tempita color the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Four Surveillance Units. Almost all the work has been completed, some partying. The meat is burned along with other foods to enliven the event.

Musical instruments were played to accompany the event. Unit One gathered in the courtyard, where he could see all of his comrades who had survived the war and were now standing more and more firmly fortifying the Four Surveillance Units.

Yun Shan, the last time he was dying. He received serious treatment in the past few weeks before being able to rejoin the Four Surveillance Units.

"How are you doing?"

Yun Shan smiled before replying. "It's better, Chief. It's good to see you back. And rejoicing in the return of the Young Master's father."

"You too."

Next to him, Nan Ran had just joined in. Xin Chen knew what happened to his younger brother, the burnt Nan Yin who was in the time of the war.

"I'm sorry for your sister, Nan Ran."

Nan Ran looked down, "Thank you."

As the older brother who had always protected his younger sister, Nan Ran must have been so devastated after the girl's departure. Since childhood they have always been together, surviving without parents and relying on each other to continue living.

Nan Ran looked even more moody. Xin Chen understood his feelings, he patted the young man on the shoulder as he said, "Your sister fought and died honorably. If you feel lost, remember we're all your family."

"I know that. Thanks for reminding her ..." Nan Ran looked away, his face water almost crying. The food and drinks began to arrive again. Who else if it wasn't Tian Xi who took care of everything.

Xin Chen picked up his drink, Tian Xi's hand suddenly flapped.

"Heh, the one over there isn't finished yet don't take this one here, you anchovy."

Tian Xi's face changed in surprise when he saw that the victim of his trembling was Xin Chen.

"Oh, the chief apparently. Here the drink of the commoners, why even join here?"

"Keep where you are."

"After there," He pointed followed by Xin Chen's gaze which at that moment instantly furrowed his brows.

"That one barrel you told me to drink?"

"Haha. Joking, anchovy town. Be sitting. By the way the fox that went berserk yesterday wasn't with you?"

"What's looking for me?"

"Eh-h"

Shocked for the second time, Tian Xi almost threw the plate in hand, he rubbed his chest as he spoke. "Fast to death I was kept shocked. Mr Fox sat down first, what do you want to drink?"

"White water." The fox returned ketus.

"White water trench taste there." Tian Xi prepared one cup of water that was slightly yellowish in color. "We only have this, if we don't want to."

The Lightning Fox narrowed her eyes, if she did not have her heart already doused in Tian Xi's face with that water.

Tian Xi smiled as he worked, making Xin Chen wonder.

"What's so happy about you?"

He lifted his face while laughing, "I thank you. Thanks to the war in the Valley of the Gods Father knows that I can rival him. This is the only pride I can remember for a lifetime. This way I will not regret the decision to leave the Tian clan and travel all the way to the Shang Empire."

His eyes that always look nosy are glazed, for others maybe this is a trivial thing. But to Tian Xi, that war was everything to him. The strategy of the war and all the plans he made became one of the reasons for their victory.

"Our strategists are very talented."

Tian Xi laughed as he lowered his face, happy with the greatest achievement he had ever carved.

"Don't forget the chairman also created a lot of crazy ideas. I can imagine my father's face when I see the greatness of this war ..."

Tian Xi closed his eyes as he looked up, "Anged, vengeful and ashamed. My best revenge is to show him this proof."

"Uncle Bai's death was quite painful. We lost a loyal friend. I was very familiar with him."

"What about his wife's son? Have you checked their situation?" ask Xin Chen.

"I gave you some money and supplies of clothes and food. His son said, if he's an adult, he wants to join us" Tian Xi explained. The Lightning Fox said, "What are you talking about about Bai Huang? Isn't he one of the Imperial Pillars?"

"Yes. He's the former Imperial Pillar."

"That war took away many Imperial Pillars as well?"

Tian Xi laughed out loud, "Explain, Chief. Let him know how rotten the Empire's politics are."

Xin Chen had indeed not explained the matter to the Foxes, "Bai Huang was no longer the Pillar of the Empire, he was removed from his chair over a slander. And when war broke out, the ones who became the Pillars of the Empire were those who were mostly from the descendants of elite nobles. No one came down when the war happened, except Uncle Lan An-"

When discussing the man, he again grieved. It felt like Lan An's figure was still alive and busy taking care of Fanlu City. In reality, the man no longer exists.

"Then what happened to him? He's your father's best friend, right?"

"He ..." Xin Chen did not continue the sentence, it felt heavy saying it.

Tian Xi who read the situation immediately continued, "He is gone."

The fox was silent. Indeed, basically war always takes lives, making children and wives lose fathers and husbands. No wonder he heard so many people fall from them.

"This is sad news. Another hero is dead. And the other Imperial Pillars were just silent?"

"They hid in their own house, scared like rats in the attic." Tian Xi snorted, putting down the last cup that was instantly taken away. Drinks run out quickly, as well as food. The enthusiasm of the members of the Four Surveillance Units in this small-scale event is very large. Xin Chen began to think of organizing the next event, which was bigger and orderly.

Given they have lost many members before and now many new members are joining. He wanted to welcome them as best he could.

Of course, the one in charge was Tian Xi. He is the most reliable about it.

By late afternoon, the rest of the charcoal had fused with the ash. The event was over, leaving only the rest of the items in disarray.

"Well anchovies, clean up the rest of your eating and drinking! Hurry along!"

Tian Xi nagged in annoyance, it was just good that they went straight away making a mess. Lao Zi next to him replied, "Have it, let me and the others clean up. This time let them rest early."

Huo Rong, Nan Ran, Jun Xiang and Lao Zi started to move. There's still some work to be done tomorrow. Tian Xi gave the news he had just received to Xin Chen.

"Chairman, I have good news for you."

"What?"

"The Empire gave us a lot of money to build a base. We have a lot of support from some clans."

"Huo Rong has already signed it?"

"Later to do it." Huo Rong let out a tired breath, Xin Chen smiled faintly.

"Do a good job. I have to return to Fanlu City for a while."

Lao Zi responded, "When will you return?"

"Fastly. I can't determine."

"Oh yes, the chairman has also been appointed as a Pillar of Shadow. Must be getting busy."

Among them was only Huo Rong who seemed to disagree, which meant that his leadership period should be added even longer. Xin Chen embraced the redhead while strengthening it. "Remember, the boys here must be glad you're leading the Four Surveillance Units. Don't be a burden."

Huo Rong understood Xin Chen's intentions. But being the temporary chairman was exhausting for him.

"That's what Young Master said. I'm happy to work with you too. Unless Shui takes the lead, this headquarters will turn into a beauty shop he created," Lan Zhuxian added, Jun Xiang interjected. "Hahaha, he told us to soak until we become mermaids."

Shui heard it while grumbling in annoyance.

Laughter was heard from the members of Unit One. Xin Chen said goodbye when Ye Long was back. The Lightning Fox along with him climbed on top of the black dragon. They immediately moved back to Fanlu City. As long as the sky is clear, there is no rain.

When midnight came, Ye Long landed in the backyard of the house. The house looked dark, but Xin Chen saw one candle still burning on the porch. It seemed that Ren Yuan had deliberately put it down.

Just as his foot was treading on the path, Ren Yuan had already walked out of the house to greet him. Xin Fai appeared after, slightly startled when she saw the Lightning Fox.

"Old friend, long time no see!"

"It's midnight, Dad. Keep your voice down"

"Come in, in! Aih, it is my son's habit. Go home already bring guests to the house, just know this house is quiet."

Xin Fai welcomed the arrival of the Lightning Fox with joy even though the demon face looked unfriendly at all.

"Ouch!"

The Lightning Fox had just whipped at him with the same twig that he used to hit Xin Chen.

"I've heard about that war from Xin Chen. It seems like the mastermind of all of that is you. I have to punish you for this."

"Eh, what-?" Xin Fai could see how sinister those ordinary wooden twigs were.

"Dad, it's night." Xin Chen reprimanded again, the person next door woke up.
