Chapter 31: An Invitation from the Mysterious Affairs Bureau, A Person You Can Deal With If You Pay Enough!
“Thunder Technique!?”
Chen Linhai’s eyes nearly popped out when he heard this. He looked utterly baffled as he turned to Xu Ming.
“Captain Xu, are you saying that thunderbolt we just saw… was created by that Heavenly Master!?”
Xu Ming nodded, “That’s right. The Heavenly Master’s Thunder Technique is unparalleled, and only he can use it at will.”
Chen Linhai’s complexion became even more complex. Tonight had brought him too many shocks, and even as the university’s dean, he found it overwhelming. He couldn’t believe that the Daoist he casually encountered turned out to be the legendary Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain!
“Captain, someone is coming out!” Just then, a member of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau suddenly shouted, and everyone’s expressions changed.
They all turned their attention to Zhang Beixuan, who was also taken aback by the commotion at the door.
What’s going on? Why are there so many people here?
“Master Zhang!”
Xu Ming was the first to react and rushed toward Zhang Beixuan with eyes filled with an unmistakable warmth, like a child reuniting with their grandparent. However, in the next moment…
Smack!
A golden light shot out and slapped Xu Ming away like a fly. “Damn it! Stay away from Dao Ye!” Zhang Beixuan shuddered. He was all about vitality, but not in that way!
Xu Ming: “…”
The others were also left dumbfounded. Clearly, they hadn’t expected the Heavenly Master to have such a straightforward personality.
“Master, you’ve misunderstood! This is Captain Xu of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau,” Chen Linhai hurriedly explained.
Mysterious Affairs Bureau?
Zhang Beixuan was momentarily puzzled but quickly understood. This must be some national organization. They were the only ones who could have found him so quickly.
Xu Ming smiled awkwardly and said, “Master Zhang, please don’t take offense. Let me introduce myself. I’m Xu Ming, the Deputy Captain of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau’s Jiangbei Division.”
“Zhang Beixuan,” he replied after the introductions were made.
Xu Ming directed his gaze to the body that Zhang Beixuan was holding.
“Master, is the one you have in your hand the instigator of this incident?”
Zhang Beixuan nodded and casually tossed the body to the ground. “Take a look.”
All eyes immediately turned to the corpse.
“Xu Baohua!?” Chen Linhai exclaimed, but before he could finish, Xu Ming suddenly stepped forward and forcefully tore off the skin from Xu Baohua’s face.
Rip, with a crisp sound, the unfamiliar face of a monk appeared before everyone’s eyes. Chen Linhai looked confused for a moment, but Xu Ming’s eyes contracted suddenly.
“Huiguang!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As he spoke, the other members of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau were also shocked.
“It really is Huiguang from the Great Buddha Temple!”
“Damn! Huiguang is the mastermind behind this supernatural event!?”
“We should thoroughly investigate the Great Buddha Temple where Huiguang resides. They’re all birds of a feather! That old bald donkey, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, is no good either!”
“Yes! Why is a Buddhist temple running a corporation and having a board of directors? If you didn’t know better, you’d think it’s some kind of cult!”
“Exactly, but what can we do? They have a lot of power.”
The voices of discussion filled the air.
Great Buddha Temple? Running a corporation with a board of directors?
Zhang Beixuan found it perplexing. This was quite different from his perception of Buddhism. He couldn’t help but feel exasperated. Without comparison, there was no harm. Look at how well these Buddhist monks were raking in money!
Meanwhile, he, a Heavenly Master, couldn’t even come up with a thousand bucks! He couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for his immortal master.
“Alright, enough chatter! Remove the body,” Xu Ming spoke up at this point. His expression was grim, and he seemed to have some reservations about this so-called Great Buddha Temple.
“Master Zhang, we’re truly grateful for your help in this matter,” Chen Linhai addressed Zhang Beixuan.
“It’s all in a day’s work. You’re footing the bill,” Zhang Beixuan replied nonchalantly.
Seeing Zhang Beixuan’s indifferent demeanor, Chen Linhai chuckled, “To express our gratitude to the Master, our university has decided to provide an additional two million as compensation.”
“For Li Xiaojia, we will waive all her expenses for the past four years.”
“In the future, if the school encounters any other issues, we hope that Master can lend a helping hand.”
Chen Linhai was indeed very shrewd. Once he confirmed Zhang Beixuan’s identity, he decided to build a good relationship with him at all costs.
Adding another two million?
Zhang Beixuan’s eyes immediately lit up. This man knew how to deal with and understood the situation.
“Okay.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Chen Linhai, Zhang Beixuan prepared to leave. As he walked away, Xu Ming hurriedly approached.
“Master, can we talk?”
Zhang Beixuan wasn’t surprised. If someone came here, they definitely had something to discuss.
“Sure,” after a brief exchange of words with Chen Linhai, Zhang Beixuan was about to leave. But as he departed, Xu Ming quickly caught up.
“Master, can we talk for a moment?”
Zhang Beixuan wasn’t surprised. When someone sought him out, there was usually something to discuss.
“Let’s go.”
The two of them got into the Mysterious Affairs Bureau’s vehicle. As soon as they were inside, Xu Ming handed over a bank card.
“Master, the reward for handling the Route 14 bus incident is higher than what the Mysterious Affairs Bureau offers.
Please accept this one million as compensation. In the future, the rewards from the Mysterious Affairs Bureau will be sent to you through this card, with the password being six zeros.”
Xu Ming’s attitude was very respectful.
Huh? Do they even pay for taking out the trash?
Zhang Beixuan’s attitude improved considerably at the thought.
“Then I won’t be polite!” Money was something Zhang Beixuan didn’t mind having more of, especially when he had earned it through his abilities. He accepted the bank card and stowed it away in his spatial ring.
