Chapter 59 Transference

Tian Erjun knelt on the ground in anguish, his self-reproach reaching a fever pitch as he slammed a fist against the earth.

"It's my fault..."

"It's all my fault!!"

"So many loyal Qingwei, who entrusted their lives to me, sacrificed themselves because of my misjudgment!!"

"They... they..."

Drip, drip.

A man in his forties or fifties was shedding tears.

The others exchanged glances.

Some genuinely blamed Tian Erjun from the bottom of their hearts, attributing all the problems to him.

But others felt that Lord Jun had simply made a mistake, a big one, but he had tried his best to remedy it and was forgivable.

"Alright, what's done is done. No one wanted this. The important thing now is how to deal with the aftermath and how to defend against another attack from that bizarre group," You Sisi said coldly. She had been an extreme exterminationist back then. If someone hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to the detention point alone and killed all the people possessed by the bizarre!

“Right, right, Lord Jun, please get up quickly. We still need you to direct the overall situation."

"Yes, yes, it's good that Lord Jun knows his mistake. Just remember not to be so merciful next time. Some things require ruthlessness."

Everyone tried to smooth things over. Although they looked miserable and were all injured, they were still alive.

Their Qing Silk County was still counting on this Xiantian realm Lord Jun for protection.

"No... this matter cannot be glossed over so easily. So many lives, so many sacrifices... I am no longer qualified to serve as the Chief Qingyi of Qing Silk County!"

Tian Erjun's eyes were red as he looked up at You Sisi. "As I said before, from today onwards, the position of Chief Qingyi of Qing Silk County is yours. I will slowly handle the subsequent procedures and documents, but from now on, you can issue orders. I will no longer object to your decisions, and will only firmly execute your missions!"

"You Sisi, you... are more suitable than me to lead Qing Silk County!"

What?!

The Baiyi leaders were shocked and tried to dissuade him, but they didn't dare to speak up when they saw You Sisi's silence.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange. Tian Erjun was waiting for You Sisi's reaction, while the Baiyi leaders were waiting for the outcome of the game between the two.

However, You Sisi stepped forward and stood in front of the kneeling Tian Erjun.

"Raise your head."

Tian Erjun slowly raised his head, his eyes red.

Amidst the others' puzzled expressions, You Sisi slowly spoke.

"In the name of the Chief Qingyi of Qing Silk County, I order you, from this moment on, to assist me in maintaining the stability of Qing Silk County, protecting Qing Silk's safety, regardless of the cost, even if it means dying ten thousand times without regret!"

As her voice fell, Tian Erjun's pupils constricted, and his body stiffened.

These words... were what he had said to You Sisi when she had first come to Qing Silk County, made a big mistake, and wanted to be transferred away.

But now, at this moment, the same person, the same words, but the two had switched positions.

For some reason, Tian Erjun's eyes became somewhat moist.

He looked up at You Sisi, who still had a cold expression, and said, choking with emotion, "You... have grown."

"Everyone grows." You Sisi held out her hand. "Tian Erjun, there's no time to wallow in self-reproach. All the people of Qing Silk County are waiting for us to go out, protect Qing Silk County, and resist the next bizarre attack."

Yes, now is not the time for self-reproach. It's not yet time to atone!

At least, clean up your own mess first!

Grasping the hand that You Sisi offered, he stood up.

This standing signified that he had taken on the responsibility again.

Instead of giving up the position of Chief Qingyi, abandoning his thinking, and entrusting all the problems of Qing Silk County completely to You Sisi, just to alleviate his own guilt.

...

After some discussion, with You Sisi as the main leader and Tian Erjun as the assistant, the Qing Si formulated a follow-up remedy plan for this bizarre possession and the damage to Dong Street.

While You Sisi and the other important figures were busy concerning themselves with the overall situation of Qing Silk County,

Jing Yan was frowning as he flipped through a stack of documents.

It was an exact copy of the information that he and Yu Baiyi had given to Martial Captain earlier.

Everyone else was thinking about the big picture, the overall direction, but only he was fixated on the details.

Although it was most likely a delusion, Jing Yan vaguely felt that this wave of bizarre resurgence might be related to Fang Yue.

Because Fang Yue had just left the city when the bizarre collectively revived.

And most importantly... all the revived bizarre were chasing after Fang Yue in the direction he had left, recklessly and frantically, according to You Sisi!

It was as if Fang Yue was an extremely tempting bait, and the revived bizarre were like schools of fish chasing after the bait!

If everything was really as he thought, then Fang Yue was in an extremely dangerous situation!

With the unknown Ning the Elder in front and the pursuing bizarre group behind, Fang Yue was currently in the wilderness.

If everything was developing in the worst possible direction... Brother Yue, things look grim!

Therefore, Jing Yan needed to confirm one thing.

That was Ning the Elder's position.

However, as he flipped through the documents, Jing Yan's heart sank.

Because he discovered that the people purchasing the basic materials for the fluorescent bracelets were basically the same group of people!

They were just rotating the purchases throughout the year.

Such quantitative and regular purchases were like producing fluorescent bracelets in batches!

You had to know that even the Martial Captain, who was at the Houtian Second-Rate realm, had almost fallen for it. It was only when he realized what was happening that he fought back and killed them!

What kind of person was the Martial Captain? A madman who chased bizarre groups into the wilderness!

His strength could not be viewed as a regular Houtian Second-Rate!

So the upper limit of the fluorescent bracelet was terrifying.

And Jing Yan couldn't figure out what the people who made so many fluorescent bracelets wanted to do.

Just the thought of someone possessing so many fluorescent bracelets and producing so many fluorescent bracelets sent chills down his spine – their plot must be huge!

"Brother Yue... in great danger!!"

Even if he had great confidence in Fang Yue, facing such an organized, disciplined organization that steadily purchased and produced so many fluorescent bracelets, Jing Yan found it difficult to believe that Fang Yue could return safely.

Clutching the information tightly in his hand, Jing Yan thought of another question!

Without any hesitation, he went directly to You Sisi.

"You want the material transport records for the city gate entries and exits for the past few years?"

You Sisi, who was busy dealing with the aftermath of the bizarre resurgence and the street repair plan, was stunned when she heard Jing Yan's request.

Not for any other reason, but simply because the workload was too huge.

She didn't have any manpower to spare for Jing Yan right now.

If it weren't for Jing Yan's performance in the previous battle, which she had witnessed, You Sisi would have probably told Jing Yan to get lost, thinking that this guy was here to make things difficult for her.
