Chapter 94 Revenge Has Come (Middle)

  Of course, as for this conspiracy of revenge, my ignorance doesn't mean that my dad didn't have a premonition. As someone who majored in prophecy, he had a sense of the unknown danger, but wasn't quite certain, after all, being omniscient only exists in legends.

  It was also on the same morning of my punishment, in Junlang Village, at my home:

  "Dad, why do you always seem so restless lately? Is something going to happen?"

  After many years of marriage, my mother is the person who understands my father best, and she can see through his tricks.

  "Hmm, I have a premonition that something big will happen in the next few days."

  "What's the big deal? Is it about the two kids? Then hurry up and calculate their fortune, see what's going on, and make plans ahead of time!"

  "Hmm, I've already calculated this. Although it's related to the children, the divination shows they're not in danger. On the contrary, we are, especially our own Jun Lang Village that we built with our own hands, need to be careful."

  "Oh, oh, oh, that's good, as long as the child is safe; what? Something big is going to happen in Junlang Village? Then how are we going to do?"

  "What else can we do? We'll just have to face whatever comes our way. I don't know what specific thing will happen, but I suppose it's because the child offended some dignitary at school. Those people are always so petty and careful, this kind of thing wasn't uncommon even in our time."

  "Yes, that's right. No wonder there have been a lot of strangers coming and going in the village recently; but we can't just be passive like this, no way. I think it's not good to wait, let's hurry up and gather the villagers to discuss it, so everyone can prepare mentally."

  "Hmm, Lan'er is still quite thoughtful."

  ……

  Half an hour later, hundreds of villagers gathered at the usual meeting place in Junlang Village, all of whom were the most authoritative family members. Everyone's face was filled with confusion and a hint of tension. Why did the village chief suddenly gather everyone today? And why did he speak so seriously?

  The doubt did not last long, Dad stepped onto the high platform and said what he had sensed; although everyone respected the village chief in their daily lives, they did not quite believe his sense, thinking he was joking.

  In this case, Dad had a countermeasure and experimented with the Great Prophecy Technique on the spot. The villagers' doubts were immediately dispelled. Next, it became solemn, an elder said:

  "Village head, how should we respond? You tell us, we'll all listen."

  "Yes, yes, Village Chief, go ahead and speak, we'll listen."

  These villagers, mostly ordinary people with low cultivation levels, came to settle here because they were not doing well elsewhere or were escaping something; among them are the poor people rescued by their parents during their travels, or those whose hometowns suffered from major disasters such as beast tides, plagues, and so on, and had no choice but to move here with their families.

  These people had almost no main opinion, and when they encountered big things, they naturally panicked a bit. The village chief, my dad, became their lifesaver. Dad knew what was in their hearts, of course. As the village chief, he couldn't shrink back at this moment and had to show his courage, saying loudly:

  "Don't worry, as long as I'm standing here, no one can bully you, and our home will not be destroyed. Of course, individual strength is limited, so to defend our home, I need everyone's cooperation. Are you willing?"

  "Agreed! Agreed! Agreed!"

  "Good! Very good! Since everyone is willing to cooperate in defending their home, I'll speak directly:"

  Firstly, if someone wants to harm our village innocently, never compromise, fight it out with him!

  Secondly, if someone wants to get our property without working for it, never compromise, don't give in!

  Thirdly, if someone tries to bribe us to harm any of our villagers, fellow villagers, what should we do?

  "Never give in, protect our villagers!" The fellow villagers exclaimed excitedly.

  "Right! Protect the villagers! Alright, everyone disperse!"

  Dad saw that the villagers' emotions had been stirred up and was very satisfied, recalling a phrase my mom had said before, finally reminding them:

  "But be aware that there have been many strangers coming and going in our village recently, don't get close to them, they may be our potential enemies, got it?"

  "Ah! Village head, are you saying that the stranger who appeared recently is likely to be our enemy?"

  Everyone was preparing to go home when a loud, astonished voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked around to see where the sound came from and saw a burly man standing there looking very embarrassed.

  "Ming Tuan, you won't take in a stranger, will you?"

  My father had expected it all along, but still hoped to get a rough and bold confirmation from the big man, others also had the same expression, some even dodged their eyes, apparently they had also taken in strangers.

  "Hmm, yeah, I thought he looked pitiful so I took him in; and besides, Village Chief, he asked a lot of questions about your family and our village's situation and all that, I think he doesn't have any ill intentions, so I told him everything I knew, haha..."

  Rough and bold Da Han Dai Tuan Ming foolishly laughed non-stop, but his dad couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

  "Hey, Mingtuan, when will you ever grow up? I reckon it won't be long before you see the 'good people' you're talking about bringing people to do 'good deeds'."

  "No way, he was just at my house, Village Chief doesn't believe it can go take a look."

  "Yes, yes, come visit my home too, it's still early." Three or four villagers who had taken in strangers chimed in unison.

  When everyone rushed to these villagers' homes, there were no strangers anywhere. They had all escaped during the meeting.

  "Villagers, take note next time. If there's another stranger, no matter what he asks, be more vigilant and remember!"

  "Got it!"

  "Go back home everyone, pay attention at all times over the next few days and notify each other immediately if there's any movement, got it?"

  "Got it."

  ……

  No one knew that at this time, the oldest old man in Junlang Village, who was observing my father's behavior, nodded secretly, and his eyes, which were full of wrinkles, flashed with a hint of understanding before closing again to meditate.

  At this moment, in the office of Xingzhong College Town Mayor, there were three people sitting. One was Mayor Yang Xingzhong, one was Mayor's strategist Liu Zhongxing, and the other was a woman, a beautiful woman named Long Meimei.

  At this moment their conversation was nearing its end, all that could be heard was:

  "This is really true!"

  Yang Xingzhong looked at his advisor Liu Zhongxing with a hint of movement, who was the most trusted person in his life? It was none other than this advisor. This point seemed to be reflected in their names, as the town head's name had an "Xing" character, and the advisor's name was Zhongxing.

  "Yes, Town Mayor, if we succeed this time, it won't be long before we can claim the title of king or overlord!"

  The strategist continued to throw out moving reasons and exhorted with a flattering face. Long Meimei, the beautiful woman, also fanned the flames on the side:

  "Yes, yes, at that time I will have to call you Emperor too, how majestic! Just thinking about it makes me worship you with all my might!"
