Da Xuan Martial Saint

No matter the power or authority, he was now above him.

He did not even dare to show the slightest negligence and had to treat him with the respect due to an officer.

This naturally gave Yan Guang a complex feeling that was hard to describe. If at that time he had issued an order to transfer Chen Mu from Xu Hongyu's control to his subordination, he would now owe Chen Mu a debt of gratitude as he rose to prominence. However, at that time, he had also advised Xue Huaikong, who ultimately did not recruit Chen Mu.

"Bring me all the reports of the disaster situations in Jingyu County," Chen Mu said calmly as he gave the order, then strode toward the side of the Hall Office and sat down in the chair next to the chief seat, his gaze turning to the map on the table.

The County Magistrate of Jingyu, still dazed, suddenly snapped to attention, hurriedly saluting Chen Mu, almost bowing his head to his chest, "Yes! Sir, I will take care of it immediately!"

As the words fell,

he could no longer afford to serve tea or water to Yan Guang, but lifted his official robe and hurried out of the Hall Office.

Now only Yan Guang was left in the Hall Office, watching Chen Mu studying the map of Jingyu County. He dared not sit back in the chief seat but stood beside the table also looking at the map, his heart full of mixed feelings.

He also felt a bit resentful. What favor had the Yu Family shown to Chen Mu? They had only provided some Silver Coin and resources like Tendon Changing Pills. The Xue Family had plenty of those. As for Xu Hongyu... The Xue Family also had girls who could match her beauty, letting Chen Mu choose anyone he liked. It was ultimately his fault for not recognizing Chen Mu's potential, for not imagining that Chen Mu could achieve such abilities. With such talent, if he had joined the Seven Profound Sect, he might even have a chance of becoming a true disciple like Meng Danyun.

Before long,

The County Magistrate of Jingyu returned to the Hall Office, bringing a group of government officers, and they each reported on the various situations to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu pondered as he listened, comparing the information with the map of Jingyu County. After all the news had been sorted out, he said, "The previous orders, were they issued by Lord Yan? Yes, indeed well-organized and well-handled."

Although he was in charge of the entire Qingping River Domain, his usual approach was not to meddle unnecessarily. Unless there was a glaring issue with the preparations of the counties, at most he would make some minor adjustments.

After all, he was very clear about his own capabilities. Perhaps in the realm of Martial Arts, he could be unmatched, but when it came to actual management of disasters like floods or droughts, he could not possibly do better initially than Yan Guang, who had at least faced such challenges three or four times. Yan Jingqing believed he was capable of governing, but in reality, he adhered to certain principles, did not command without understanding the situation, did not interfere unnecessarily, handled everything personally, and had no great desire for wealth.

When it came to handling all sorts of affairs at different government offices, he was actually not very skilled.

But that was not important.

Few in the world are all-capable and all-talented.

Liu Bang was not as good at governing as Xiao He, not as good at commanding troops as Han Xin, not as good at strategizing as Zhang Liang, yet he ultimately won the realm by recognizing and utilizing talents well.

This was also why, when he arrived in the flood-stricken area and received the general reports from the two counties, he understood that he did not need to overly interfere with the various measures the counties were taking to handle the flood disaster. So, he immediately did what he needed to do, slaying a batch of demons along the river domain and rescuing a group of people trapped by the disaster.
