Chapter 905: Reporting
The representative of the Corpse Control Sect was about to leave, and Zhu Rong did not try to stop them, as she knew it would be futile.
Of course, she did not harbor any resentment towards the Corpse Control Sect representative for not supporting her, as their reasons were quite valid. Moreover, they had not done anything to harm Lecheng, and they were about to leave Lecheng, so it was only natural that they did not offer any help.
If she were to harbor resentment over this, it would be a sign of her narrow-mindedness. In her lifetime, she would likely have to resent countless people, and if she were to focus all her thoughts on resentment, she would have no energy left for anything else.
After the Corpse Control Sect representative left, Zhu Rong discussed some details with a few others, and then the meeting finally ended.
In the secret meeting room of the South Lake Death God Temple, Yang Haoran was sitting on a sofa, smoking. Opposite him were three people: Zhu Rong, Master Wu, and Bai Xue.
During the previous meeting at the Administrative Bureau, due to the different circumstances, Yang Haoran had some things he couldn't ask, and Zhu Rong had some things she couldn't say. So after the meeting ended and everyone dispersed, Yang Haoran had Bai Xue secretly bring Zhu Rong to the South Lake Death God Temple.
The reason for having Bai Xue bring Zhu Rong here was that Bai Xue had the ability to tear through space, which Zhu Rong did not possess. If they didn't use Bai Xue's space-tearing ability to come to the South Lake Death God Temple, it would be easy for someone with ill intentions to discover them and arouse suspicion.
And as the leader of the Spirit Police team, Bai Xue's interaction with Zhu Rong, the Administrative Director, was perfectly natural, so having her quietly take Zhu Rong away was the most convenient and least suspicious option.
As for why they came to the South Lake Death God Temple instead of returning to the villa, that was naturally due to Yang Haoran's considerations.
After all, the initial purpose of the meeting was because of the two demon hunters from the Jingling Continent demon hunter branch. Bai Xue is a demon, and demon hunters are specifically tasked with hunting demons, so her presence would not have been appropriate, and it might have even sparked conflicts and added unnecessary trouble.
The first to report on the recent situation was Master Wu, who managed the Lecheng Yin Division. His report naturally focused on that area.
The Lecheng Yin Division had not encountered any major events recently. After the previous purge of the spirit masters, no more spirit masters had dared to show up.
This did not come as a surprise to Yang Haoran, as he had already eliminated all the known spirit masters in Lecheng, and even if there were any stragglers, they would not dare to show themselves again.
Without any spirit masters appearing, the Yin Division naturally had no major incidents to report. However, due to Lecheng becoming so peaceful under Zhu Rong's management, the number of deaths had decreased, and consequently, the number of undead that the Yin Division could guide had also dropped significantly, resulting in the Night Watch's performance being unable to improve.
Yang Haoran did not have much of a reaction to this, as every benefit has its drawbacks. In order to allow Zhu Rong to establish a reputation and earn the love of the common people in Lecheng, their safety had to be ensured, which meant fewer deaths and, consequently, fewer undead for the Yin Division to guide.
Given Yang Haoran's current abilities, the ordinary undead and the soul pills he could obtain from them were no longer of much value to him, so the decrease in the number of undead guided did not bother him.
Apart from these two matters, Master Wu also reported on some other events, all of which Yang Haoran listened to carefully and kept in mind.
After Master Wu, Bai Xue also reported on the recent situation to Yang Haoran and shared some of her thoughts.
Bai Xue's report naturally revolved around the Spirit Police, and she particularly emphasized the few minor demons she had subdued.
According to her, the demonic pills of these minor demons no longer held much appeal for her, and since these minor demons were willing to submit to her, she had taken them in and made them part of the Spirit Police.
As for the thoughts she shared, they were also related to demons. She was planning to subdue more demons to join the Spirit Police, and she said she had her own ways of finding them.
Regarding Bai Xue's idea, Yang Haoran did not pour cold water on her. Instead, he told Bai Xue to go ahead and do as she pleased, and if she encountered any difficulties she couldn't solve, she could let him know, and he would step in to help her resolve the issues.
If Bai Xue really can subdue a large number of demons, it will indeed strengthen the power of the Lecheng Spirit Police. Now, the Lecheng Administrative Bureau is under his control, and the Spirit Police is no exception. The strengthening of the Spirit Police's power means that the force he controls is strengthened, so he will certainly not refuse such a good thing.
The only problem is that if there are more demons in the Spirit Police, it will definitely attract demon hunters.
However, this problem does not worry Yang Haoran too much. After all, there are only a few demons in the Lecheng Spirit Police now, and they have not reached a frightening level. If one day in the future, the number of demons in the Spirit Police really reaches a terrifying level and attracts demon hunters to come and hunt them down, he can simply kill these ignorant demon hunters.
If the business of Serene Medicine Shop has already started in the underworld by then, he will not need to hide his strength anymore. At that time, he will certainly find a way to intimidate other demon hunters, making them give up the idea of coming to Lecheng to hunt demons.
Bai Xue, who obtained Yang Haoran's consent, was very happy and confidently told Yang Haoran that he would definitely make him surprised.
After Bai Xue, it was Zhu Rong. Although Zhu Rong, as the Administration Director, did not add any trouble to Yang Haoran or ask him to help handle anything, this does not mean that she did not encounter any trouble during this period. She just solved these troubles by herself.
Unlike Master Wu and Bai Xue, the things Zhu Rong reported involved a much broader range, such as personnel, military, agriculture, communications, and so on. It was a mess, and it was not easy to explain clearly in a few words. Yang Haoran's head was spinning, and he had to interrupt Zhu Rong in the end.
"Okay, okay, you don't need to report to me anymore. I'll just look at the results later. Now, you just need to tell me if you have any troubles that you can't solve and need me to step in and solve."
Yang Haoran smiled bitterly and asked Zhu Rong.
"Not for now."
Zhu Rong responded to Yang Haoran immediately without even thinking.
"Hehe, don't be stubborn. If you have any troubles, you should tell me. Otherwise, what's the point of me being your Boss?"
Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"I really don't have any troubles that I can't solve for now. If I do encounter such troubles, I will definitely report to the Boss immediately."
Zhu Rong said with a smile.
"Hehe, okay, but when you really encounter any troubles that you can't solve, don't be polite to me."
Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"I will."
Zhu Rong responded.
"By the way, I just heard you say that you want to abolish the New Genesis Coin and replace it with a new currency. Although I don't understand much about this, it should be very difficult, right?"
Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Zhu Rong nodded and did not deny it.
"It is indeed very difficult. We can only do it slowly. But Boss doesn't need to worry. After all, we Lecheng is just a small city. Give me some time, and I will handle this matter well. Please rest assured, Boss." For character sheets and glossaries, visit MV|LEMPYR.
Yang Haoran wanted to learn more about this aspect of knowledge, but he was afraid that Zhu Rong would give him a lot of incomprehensible things to say, so he decided not to.
In his opinion, even if he understands this knowledge, it won't be of much use to him, so he simply doesn't bother to learn about it.
"These two two-star demon hunters who came to Lecheng this time, they should all know that Bai Xue is not human and that we have several demons in the Spirit Police, right?"
Yang Haoran asked, and Zhu Rong nodded.
"So what's their attitude towards this?"
Yang Haoran asked again.
"That female demon hunter wants to eliminate the demons in our Spirit Police, but that male demon hunter doesn't show such a desire. He just keeps asking about the whereabouts of those two Three-Star Demon Hunters who appeared in Lecheng before."
After hearing this, Yang Haoran pondered for a moment and then nodded to Zhu Rong.
"You don't need to worry about these two demon hunters. I will find a way to deal with them later. You already have enough things to do. I can't add more burdens to you."
Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Hehe, thank you for your consideration, Boss."
Zhu Rong said with a smile.
"There's no need to be polite between us. Although I am your Boss, I will never treat you like a donkey."
Saying this, Yang Haoran paused briefly and then continued to ask Zhu Rong.
"And there's one more very important thing. How's the situation in Ancheng recently?"
