Chapter 91
Tiannan City Censor's Office.

The atmosphere was oppressive and silent. Ji Xuan, who had just returned from outside, saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa with a dark face as soon as he entered the door.

Ji Xuan was startled at first, and then just smiled helplessly.

He casually pulled out a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea, and then poured a cup of tea for the person in front of him.

The hot water vapor instantly blocked their sight, slightly easing the awkward and depressing atmosphere.

Ji Xuan gently picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Hiss~" The tea seemed a little hot to the mouth, making Ji Xuandu take a breath.

"I still can't get used to the tea here." He sighed helplessly. In front of this person, Ji Xuan actually talked more.

"Why are you back so early?" He looked at the bleak and slightly tired man in front of him.

Ji Xuan sighed.

The traces of time have left deep wrinkles on this man's face, as if it were an ancient book carrying countless thoughts.

The original thick black hair has been mixed with gray hair, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes reveal the weight of his stress.

Although his face was tired, it still showed a sense of stability.

This is the president of Tiannan City Association—Tang Xiang!
Ignoring Ji Xuan's question, Tang Xiang just glanced at his watch.

Then he said calmly, "It is now April 4.17th, 8.21pm."

"It has been 210 days, 20 hours and 4 minutes since I last saw City Lord Ji."

"I wonder if the tea at Lord Ji's residence is still as good as usual? Nanming City must not be able to deliver it anymore."

Hearing what Tang Xiang said, Ji Xuan knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything more. Over the years, he had been treated like a hands-off shopkeeper.

Without explaining anything, Ji Xuan smiled bitterly and took another sip of strong tea. The strange thing was that the hot tea turned cold at this moment.

The tea is obviously not available.

When I put it down, my hand was covered with frost for some reason, and it was frozen into a tea cup like ice cubes.

Ji Xuan glanced at the man in front of him who was exuding a faint air of coldness, and knew in his heart the pressure he was under at this moment.

"Hmph" Seeing Ji Xuan like this, Tang Xiang snorted coldly and stopped being aggressive.

The tea that was originally frozen into ice also melted at this moment.

"If I don't come back, Nancheng may become the next Nanming City."

Sighing, Tang Xiang's face showed a lot of sadness, changing from the seriousness just now.

"This Lei Jiba matter has a lot of implications. If I hadn't had some connections in the capital, and now it's the time to employ people, otherwise you and I would have entered the Tribunal by now."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan's expression condensed. Although he already knew that he and others would not be able to escape the involvement, he still couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart when he heard this from Tang Xiang.

But now that he can sit here peacefully instead of being quickly arrested, Ji Xuan also knows in his heart that his big brother has wiped the butt of himself and others again.

"You and I have been working together for 20 years, so tell me the truth."

"Do you know anything about Lei Jiba?"

His expression became solemn, and Ji Xuan took a deep breath.

The man in front of me has watched him grow from his humble beginnings to the current Lord of Tiannan City.

Ji Xuan, who knew that he couldn't be deceived, could only tell the truth frankly.

"Since he reported the strange wave and I promoted him to captain, I actually had some guesses."

Nodding, Tang Xiang had already expected this.

You must know that Lei Jiba is just a three-star transcendent, and he is like an ant in front of Ji Xuan.

And with Lei Jiba acting the way he did, how could Ji Xuan not know.Even before Lei Jiba was rounded up by Lin Xiao and others, Ji Xuan had been monitoring Lei Jiba's movements.

But just when Lei Jiba was about to leave the city at the end, Ji Xuan hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should take down Lei Jiba directly now or wait for the person behind it to surface.

But it is obvious that his hesitation led to various subsequent consequences.

After Lei Jiba left, he was completely unable to capture his movements.

Seeing Ji Xuan's appearance, Tang Xiang sighed, but still took a chance and asked, "Has the person behind it been found out?"

Ji Xuan shook his head, his expression expressed everything.

Tang Xiang clenched his fists and his expression darkened.

"Ji Xuan, I won't hide it from you anymore."

There was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but Tang Xiang decided to inform him of the consequences.

"You should know that there are divisions within the association today."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan was startled. He didn't know what Tang Xiang meant. Or maybe Ji Xuan had already thought of it, but still didn't want to face the reality.

Yes, even after the spiritual energy is revived, the highly developed productivity has also brought about conflicts of interest.

And this contradiction, in today's strange recovery, has only been postponed, because human beings are still unable to be monolithic.

As long as there is a slight difference in points of interest, factional competition still exists in every corner.

The gap between high-ranking people and low-ranking people, the huge gap between the strong and the weak, and the insignificant and small gap between the top strong ones.

Linked together, they are like a spider web that connects today’s human society together.

Just waiting for an opportunity, perhaps the appearance of the most powerful person, or perhaps a strange large-scale invasion.

As long as one thread breaks in this spider web, the entire civilization will be overturned!
Tang Xiang sighed, thinking of the list the man gave him when he came back, making Tang Xiang feel helpless.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he was struggling in his heart because his conscience could not let him accept such conditions.

Gritting his teeth, Tang Xiang stopped talking in circles.

"The person behind me can't protect us and the other people involved in the face of such huge public opinion."

Having already said this, how could Ji Xuan still pretend not to understand.

Terrifying energy surged around him in an instant.

The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding" spread in the office. Teacups, documents, and all kinds of utensils began to tremble under Ji Xuan's powerful power.

"Bang" Finally, just for a moment, there were even a few cracks on the tea table, covering the entire table.

"Fucking shit association." Ji Xuan, who had always been gentle, was spitting out sweet things at this moment. One can imagine how angry he is now.

"Huh" exhaled a breath of hot air, suppressing the anger in his heart. Ji Xuan also opened his mouth and continued to ask Tang Xiang, who had a bitter smile in front of him, "Tell me the list."

After nodding, Tang Xiang did not speak, but handed a piece of pure white paper to Ji Xuan.

After taking the white paper, Ji Xuan didn't say anything more. He took out a pair of glasses from the drawer on the side and put them on the bridge of his nose.

He tapped the frame lightly with his right hand, and a light that was invisible to the naked eye emitted from the lens, scanning the white paper in front of him.

Several familiar names appeared on the lenses and were reflected in Ji Xuan's pupils.

Puzzled, confused, but in the end it all turned into disappointment for the association.

"Who can tell me about this old man who has devoted his whole life to Tiannancheng's education?"

"Old Principal Lin Tiancheng, how did he appear on this list?"
