Not long ago, just after the auction had ended.

Su Zhi, the Saintly Manager, sat in his study, organizing past records.

For the past three days, he hadn't stopped for a moment, dedicating all his time to reviewing past archives and documents.

He heard that the person sent by headquarters for a secret visit had set up a fortune-telling stall near the branch, not far from the entrance.

This made Su Zhi feel a great deal of pressure.

What fortune-telling stall?

Wasn't it just a front to observe the branch's operations?

Fearing something might go wrong, Su Zhi had already dispatched Wan Qi to be stationed at that branch the moment he received the news.

Even the service staff had been secretly replaced with the most quick-witted individuals, fearing a repeat of the incident caused by his concubine.

At the same time, he retrieved all the information related to the Floating Leaf Sailboat since its departure from headquarters and meticulously reviewed it.

Who knew if the secret visitor would reveal their identity after the visit and demand to inspect these records?

It would be disastrous if there were any discrepancies in the data at that time.

Even as a cultivator in the Saint Realm, Su Zhi felt his eyes were somewhat fatigued after reviewing textual data for three days without rest.

Just as he put down the documents in his hand and rubbed his eyes, Wan Qi arrived.

"Captain, that person said to deposit the auction proceeds into his account."

Hearing Wan Qi's report, Su Zhi nodded, as expected.

After all, it was headquarters' property; even if it was used to test them, these branch managers, they wouldn't risk taking all those Spirit Accumulation Pearls.

"During the auction, did you serve him well?"

Wan Qi respectfully nodded and said, "That person had no complaints."

"That's good!" Su Zhi picked up the documents in front of him, just about to check them, when he noticed a jade stone on the table suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Communication from headquarters?

Seeing this, Wan Qi subconsciously bowed and prepared to leave.

However, Su Zhi casually waved his hand, directly connecting the communication.

The jade stone projected an image of the person on the other side, gradually becoming clear.

After clearly seeing the person's face, Su Zhi, who had been relaxed, immediately stood up.

"Fifth Master???"

Appearing in the image was none other than one of the power holders of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, the Venerable One ranked fifth among the seven Masters.

Su Zhi subconsciously straightened his body, quickly going over in his mind what matter would be worthy of this Master directly contacting him.

As the actual power holder of the Floating Leaf Sailboat, although his position in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was extraordinary, it wasn't to the point where he could directly contact the Fifth Master.

The seven Masters of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion each managed an industry in a certain direction, grasping the overall situation, and rarely contacted frontline personnel like him.

But before he could figure it out, the Fifth Master waved his hand at him with a smile and said, "Sit, sit, sit, you sit first!"

"Oh my, this time, you've really earned us Floating Leaf Sailboat project a lot of face."

"Things like Venerable Realm cultivation methods, in the past, could only be received by headquarters. This is the first time for our Floating Leaf Sailboat branch."

"This auction was a complete success, the Third Master is also very satisfied and praised you endlessly."

Listening to the Fifth Master's words, Su Zhi was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Wasn't that Venerable Realm cultivation method used by headquarters to test whether our work was up to standard?

Looking at the Fifth Master's performance...

A sense of unease suddenly arose in Su Zhi's heart, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be...

"By the way, have you treated that fellow Daoist who entrusted the auction well?"

The Fifth Master's words interrupted Su Zhi's thoughts.

He quickly said, "We... arranged it very well!"

At this moment, Su Zhi already faintly felt that he seemed to have guessed wrong before.

Shen Lin didn't seem to be a secret investigator sent by headquarters.

Because judging from the Fifth Master's performance, that excited look didn't seem to be an act.

Moreover, there was no need for a Venerable Realm existence to act with a small fry like him.

"Very good!"

The Fifth Master nodded excitedly and tentatively asked, "Then..."

"This time he earned so much from the auction, didn't he spend some of it here?"

There was also competition within the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

Even the seven Masters would compare the sales of their respective industries over a period of time.

Those with good performance could even receive rewards from the owner behind the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

This time, they, the Floating Leaf Sailboat branch, had obtained a Venerable Realm cultivation method for auction, which had already made him look good.

Now, the Fifth Master was still thinking that if he could get that person to spend more on the Floating Leaf Sailboat, perhaps his performance for the next hundred years could also be improved.

"Uh..."

Su Zhi's scalp tingled, and he subconsciously looked at Wan Qi.

Wan Qi shivered and stammered:

"That person seemed to have received some information just now and left in a hurry."

Hearing these words, the smile on the Fifth Master's face suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth slightly narrowed.

He took a deep look at Su Zhi, but didn't blame him for anything, and said in a deep voice, "Work hard, you did a very good job this time. Keep up the good work in the future!"

After saying that, the light curtain disappeared.

After the communication ended, Su Zhi and Wan Qi stared at each other, and after a long silence, Su Zhi said with some bitterness:

"We... seem to have made a mistake..."

That Shen Lin was not a secret investigator at all.

He was clearly a bumpkin who had just boarded the ship for the first time.

Thinking of his confident reasoning before, Su Zhi felt a burst of heat on his face.

At this time, Wan Qi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Captain, since that's the case..."

"Will we have caused some trouble by helping that person consign the Venerable Realm cultivation method this time?"

Hearing these words, Su Zhi suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

He originally thought that those two Venerable Realm cultivation method martial arts were a test from headquarters.

They wouldn't incur karma.

But now it seemed that they had offended a Venerable Realm existence of the Netherworld Ghost Clan.

Taking a deep breath, Su Zhi calmed his mind and shook his head, saying, "It doesn't matter, with that kind of existence's magnanimity, they probably won't bother with a small boat like ours."

After Wan Qi nodded, he tentatively asked again, "Then... what about those Dragon Clan materials?"

And almost at the same time he said these words, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded outside.

Outside, the Golden Lightning Dragon Saint revealed its true form, blocking the front of the Floating Leaf Sailboat.

Its huge body was almost the same size as the Floating Leaf Sailboat, which was like a small continent.

It looked ahead with deep eyes, and countless golden thunderbolts struck down towards the Floating Leaf Sailboat.

Fortunately, just before the golden lightning was about to land, a hazy light suddenly rose above the Floating Leaf Sailboat.

Like cotton, it completely took over the violent thunder.

The surging golden lightning had no effect on the Floating Leaf Sailboat at all.

"Dragon Flame Golden Lightning... Who are you from the Lightning Dragon Clan?"

Su Zhi appeared in mid-air, looking at the golden dragon in front of him, feeling very helpless.

That Shen Lin was not only not a secret investigator.

He was also a troublemaker.

Trading Dragon Clan materials, this matter was not easy to solve.
