From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

Strands of azure blue lightning moved across it at high speed like little snakes, brewing a breath of destruction.

"What a terrifying aura!"

Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up and he increased the supply of spiritual energy. The aura of destruction rose rapidly and the thunder became more intensive.

“Bang!”

A flash of lightning ran wildly, brushed past his face and hit the table behind him, causing the latter to explode directly.

Jiang Zheng was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand. The table behind him had been blown into sawdust, leaving only a few larger pieces. The broken parts were charred and emitting green smoke.

"Hiss~"

Jiang Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air, clicked his tongue repeatedly, and carefully put away the Taoist treasure. After feeling the terrifying power of the Taoist treasure, he felt half relieved.

Then he walked out of the room, stepped on the flying sword and soared into the sky, making the errand disciples who happened to see this scene envious.

"Where are you going, Manager Jiang?"

"How would I know? He is in charge now and has a high level of cultivation. You should just obey him from now on..."

"Hey, where did this person come from? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"So many menial disciples, have you seen them all?"

“…”

After Jiang Zheng left the menial disciples' residence, he went straight to Liu Hailong's cave residence. After opening the stone door with his ID card, he began to practice peacefully inside.

During this time, someone visited Liu Hailong, but he pretended not to hear anything and focused on refining his spiritual energy. Soon night fell.

The next morning, Jiang Zheng opened his eyes and felt that his cultivation had improved a little. He was in a good mood and felt that everything was developing in a good direction.

"Since I'm in charge, I might as well go and take a look..."

Thinking of this, he once again flew on his sword towards the residence of the menial disciples.

At this time, a figure was wandering in front of Jiang Zheng's residence, seemingly waiting for something, with a somewhat uneasy look on his face.

“I’m back!”

Wang Zhengfeng looked up and saw a streak of light flying towards him, and his eyes lit up.

"Hmm? It's him..."

In mid-air, Jiang Zheng recognized Wang Zhengfeng and began to wonder internally: He had just taught him a lesson yesterday, so how dare he come to him today?

"Master Steward!"

Seeing Jiang Zheng coming with a sword, he hurriedly bowed and said respectfully. His attitude was completely different from yesterday, as if he had become a different person.

"What do you want from me?"

Jiang Zheng put away his flying sword, glanced at him, and spoke calmly.

Then he walked into the house on his own. The latter paused at the tip of his tongue, looked at Jiang Zheng's back, gritted his teeth and followed him in.

"Master Steward, I want to follow you!"

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Zhengfeng went straight to the point and spoke sincerely, bending down.

"Follow me?" Jiang Zheng was a little surprised and chuckled: "I beat you yesterday, you don't hate me but still want to follow me?"

"Master Steward, I was blind and offended you yesterday. You are teaching me a lesson. I deserve it!"

Wang Zhengfeng bent even lower, and kept calling Jiang Zheng "Manager" and "Master", praising him to the highest level.

Such a change in attitude simply left Jiang Zheng dumbfounded!

"Then tell me why you want to follow me?"

Jiang Zheng was obviously interested. Although the other party did cause trouble yesterday and scolded him, he had already learned a lesson, and now he had this attitude.

Considering that he is a new official and has no one under his command, it is not impossible for him to accept it.

"Your Excellency has such accomplishments at such a young age, your future is definitely limitless. I am not willing to be a small errand boy for the rest of my life, I hope to follow you and see the scenery from above!"

Wang Zhengfeng said seriously, his eyes extremely firm.

"Then why should I accept you?" Jiang Zheng asked again.

“Sir, among these menial disciples, all of them have inferior spiritual roots, and almost none of them have achieved anything remarkable through cultivation. I am the only one who has entered the first level of Qi training at such a young age. Although I cannot be compared with you…”

He stopped talking here and looked at Jiang Zheng again, his eyes revealing expectation.

“…”

Jiang Zheng did not answer immediately, but looked at him calmly... The other party's actions really taught him a lesson. How could a person be like this? It was not mentioned in the book.

"Okay, you can follow me, but I can't guarantee that I can take you to see the scenery from above. After all... everyone has their own destiny."

After that, Jiang Zheng waved his hand and delegated power.

"From today on, you and Tiezhu will be in charge of the menial disciples' chores. If anyone disagrees, just tell me directly."

"Please have more trust from the steward! I will never let you down!"

Wang Zhengfeng said excitedly, his neck turned red with excitement and his heart was beating wildly.

He knew that the step he took today was the right one and might change his destiny!

He had tried to show his loyalty to the former steward before, but the other party was an outer sect disciple and didn't think highly of him at all.

But he was not willing to give up. Instead, he worked hard to become stronger. While other menial disciples gave up on themselves because of their inferior spiritual roots, he practiced day and night.

Just to stand out, today, my wish came true!

All the efforts were rewarded. If it weren't for the fact that I had reached the first level of Qi Refining, even if the new steward was a menial disciple, he would not have even glanced at me.

"The roster of menial disciples needs to be rewritten, and there is also the matter of assigning the cleaning tasks to the caves. Can you take care of these?"

Jiang Zheng asked worriedly. In fact, there was no problem in letting himself do these things, otherwise his studies would be in vain. But his goal was not to be a good manager.

His goal was to climb up and become one of the few people standing at the top of the sect as quickly as possible.

At this moment, he has deeply felt the importance of power and strength, even though he already possesses middle-grade spiritual roots and his cultivation is at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

There would be no problem in becoming an outer disciple, or even a distinguished inner disciple, but one cannot act rashly at the moment.

Luke Dong was still watching from the sidelines with eager eyes. Right now, he was not sure if he could fight against someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he just needed to bide his time.

If you don’t move, it’s fine. But if you move, it will be like thunder!

When autumn comes on September 8th, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will die!

"Don't worry, sir!" Wang Zhengfeng said confidently, and then lowered his voice: "Sir, it's almost the end of the month, and now it's time to pay your contribution points..."

“No need”

Jiang Zheng waved his hand and said calmly: "Everyone has a hard time. I am the manager, so all these old rules will be waived."

"This... then I will thank the steward on behalf of everyone!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhengfeng couldn't suppress his joy. It was not easy for them, the menial disciples, to earn contribution points.

In the past, half of the money had to be handed over as a gift to the steward, and everyone had their own difficulties. In fact, most of the menial disciples had given up hope on cultivating immortals.

I just hope to accumulate some contribution points, exchange them for some valuable things, and then go down the mountain to live happily in the second half of my life. But no one would be willing to have half of their life's hard work taken away by others.

Jiang Zheng's words just now made him feel warm inside. He admired him and was secretly loyal to him.

"Thank you? This originally belonged to you. I have no reason to take it."

Jiang Zheng shook his head, not feeling proud.

"Your Excellency is upright in your conduct. I admire you!"

Wang Zhengfeng clasped his fists, then hesitated and said, "If you have no other instructions, my Lord, I will take my leave."

"Go buy me some good wine and food," Jiang Zheng took out some change and gave it to him.

"No need to pay, I have some here..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly," Jiang Zheng interrupted.

"Well... okay, I'll take my leave now."

"Don't call me 'little one' in front of me from now on, remember!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and closed the door. Wang Zhengfeng stood outside the room, looking at the door, blinked his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, then held the silver tightly and left.

Jiang Zheng continued to practice in the room. Having reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, he no longer needed to eat. He wanted wine and food because he planned to visit the old man at the foot of the mountain.
