On the way back, Mr. Tong, Qi Guanyu, and Yan Feiyue were all silent for a while. Yan Feiyue, who was still driving, suddenly remembered something and said in confusion: "The story Guan Guan and I made up all night yesterday turned out to be useless. superior."
"They should have dealt with similar things before, mainly because Guan Yu's spiritual roots are too good." Mr. Tong had forgotten to ask the two juniors about their spiritual roots before, but he only found out today.
Things went smoothly today, and we returned to Tong's house just in time for dinner.
Yan Feiyue looked at the rich dinner on the dining table, put her hands on her chin and sighed: "It seems like every conversation takes place at the dining table!"
"Why, did it give you indigestion?" Tong Yi looked at A Yue, who was thinking wildly across from her, and teased.
Yan Feiyue would not admit that her true thoughts were true, and said unconvinced: "Why is that so! I think you, your cousin, and your uncle work too hard, and we can only meet each other when we are eating."
"Oh, we have received your conscience! Let's eat quickly!" Yan Feiyue, who was rarely able to quarrel with Tong Yi, was speechless and felt a sense of accomplishment.
The dinner table was quiet for a while, and then the main event took place again. Mr. Tong asked: "How are the two spies and the assistant treasurer of the company?"
"It's strange to say that those two minions resigned when they got off work today." Tong Shan was still at a loss when he received the news from the human resources department.
"Deputy Director of the Finance Department, he suddenly felt at ease today. He even proposed to go on a business trip to complete the project that he had half completed and left alone. I agreed to see what else he would do." Tong Kongye said. .
"I just received a text message. The department has determined that the group that is causing trouble recently is the 'Alliance of Hopers'. The department also saw from the small actions they secretly carried out against the medical family that their ambitions are not small and their methods are extraordinary." said This will be very beneficial to the department in the subsequent negotiations and cuts between the two parties." Mr. Tong felt relieved.
"The Alliance of Hopers did not expect that two cultivators would come out of the Tong family and their whereabouts would be exposed in advance. And the spies from our company should have been eliminated on an emergency basis." Tong Kongye finally understood.
Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu both admired the old man very much. They had figured out all the reasons in a short time, and then heard Mr. Tong say:
"Now that the Tong family has a cultivator and is on the side of the department, the alliance will not take action easily now. We can remind the medical families we have good relations with. If they want to sell family heirloom medicinal materials, we can help them contact the department. This line can be regarded as nipping the conspiracy of that alliance in the cradle."
"Grandpa Tong is wise." Yan Feiyue felt that Grandpa Tong's move could not be more powerful. Now that the alliance has revealed its leverage, in order not to be at a disadvantage in the cut, they can only restrain their minions and concentrate on negotiations.
During this period, these targeted aristocratic families have been selling these family heirloom medicinal materials that have become the source of chaos for them, and they can also establish a line with the country's special departments. Although this line is very thin, it is also a line. , maybe it can be used at a critical moment.
When the negotiations are over and the interests are divided, the alliance will realize that the meat they are looking for has entered the other party's mouth, and the arm called medicine that is developing on their side has been broken to the point that it can no longer be broken. , it will be even more difficult to develop this arm again.
"The plan really couldn't keep up with the changes. I have to visit various places during this period." Tong Kongye had been thinking about how to divert his attention in the past few months, how to stabilize the situation and wait for everyone to return safely. Now the problem has been solved. Instead, I felt a little at a loss.
"I've worked hard for you during this period. This is also an opportunity to make connections. You should seize it." Mr. Tong explained. Then he remembered something and settled down:
"You just said that you are being targeted by unknown forces, and the special department is willing to give up some of its benefits to help eliminate hidden dangers. Then you will count the families who are willing to cooperate. I will contact Minister Ding and make arrangements."
"Dad, the people being targeted are from centuries-old families and have some background. Are you willing to trade?" Tong Kongye felt that the old man was thinking too simply.
"It is precisely because they are only a century-old family that eliminates the possibility that they are a cultivating family. What has happened in the past five hundred years is recorded in the family history books, and you are not unclear. So their medicines are collected halfway, so Over the years, they wanted to use it but didn't know how to use it. The spiritual grass had become useless. They probably wanted to sell it but were afraid of being targeted and causing trouble. Now that the country is willing to give them a chance to exchange for benefits, why would they? No!
If the Millennium Family still needs to find you to tie the knot, it is to ask you to tie the knot. The thread of their family has been broken for many years, and they want to use the needle of our Tong family to reconnect the thread. You don’t have to think about the second one, just take care of the first one! "
"Grandpa Tong is wise." This time it was Qi Guanyu who sighed. The Tong family was truly worthy of being a wealthy family in the Immortal Realm. A little mortal family leader who was living outside had such foresight.
"Grandpa, why is the country willing to collect these medicinal materials? After receiving them, they are mostly used by monks, and they don't get any benefits!" Tong Yi couldn't figure out why the country would do this.
"This is why it is called the 'big country'. Her bigness lies in her tolerance and peace. She tolerates good and bad. Everything she does is for peace and the possibility of the future. Monk She is an uncertain factor. If you tolerate her, help her develop, and manage her well, she will be a sharp sword with the tip pointing outward; if you block her and curb her survival, she will have to make a way out for herself. No one wants to see a lose-lose situation for both sides.”
"Then the leader of our country is really an amazing person!" Tong Yi couldn't help but sigh after hearing her grandfather's words. They have experienced so many big and small things, some that are reasonable, some that are different from ordinary people, and many visible and invisible internal and external troubles, and this big ship called the country has always been well controlled by them. .
"Yes! It's getting late today. Everyone should go back to the house to rest early. There are still things to be busy with tomorrow!" Mr. Tong finished the dinner and everyone went back to their respective houses.
——Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue’s guest room——
After coming out of the old tube building today, Yan Feiyue felt that something was wrong with Qi Guanyu, but she never had a chance to speak alone. Now she had the opportunity to ask: "Guan Guan, what's on your mind?"
Qi Guanyu held the worried girl on his lap, looked at her, and said thoughtfully: "Ah Yue, do you remember that Minister Ding said that there are still a few foundation-building monks alive in the world, and this Something?"
Yan Feiyue nodded immediately. Even if Guan Yu didn't say anything, she still had to ask: "If there is a foundation-building stage here, then Guan Guan, your spiritual roots have obviously recovered, not to mention returning to the Nascent Soul stage. There can still be a foundation building period! But, it doesn’t exist?”
"I think I should be able to return to the foundation building stage. As for why it didn't happen, I guess there are three possibilities: First, the spiritual energy is not pure enough. I haven't accumulated enough spiritual energy to reach the foundation building stage. Maybe I have accumulated enough. It will recover naturally; secondly, after the spiritual roots are re-purified, they must start again from the ninth level of the broken Qi refining period and build the foundation again; thirdly, the laws of heaven here stipulate that the number of foundation-building monks cannot exceed the number one, so There won’t be one more without one less.”
"Then this needs to be verified, but how to do it?" Yan Feiyue asked worriedly.
"The first point is that the intensity of spiritual energy in my Dantian is still far from what it used to be. It is impossible to verify whether it can recover naturally in the short term. The second point is that the problem is still the same. We still have to wait until the Dantian Only when the spiritual energy inside is saturated can we know whether we need to take elixirs to rebuild the foundation; as for the third point, with our current strength, fighting against the foundation is undoubtedly an egg against a stone."
"So, we have no choice now~~~" Yan Feiyue still doesn't understand anything, so she can only endure it!
"That's right, baby, practice hard!" Qi Guanyu looked at the depressed girl in his arms and smiled helplessly. His baby was a bit lazy!
The next day, Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue had a rare long sleep. When they woke up, they found that it was almost time for lunch. Only when they went downstairs did they realize that they were almost at the hotel and only their aunt Bai Shuhua was at home. Yan Feiyue's face was full of questions and she said, "Auntie, why are you alone?"
"The old man asked Minister Ding to have morning tea, your uncle went to visit each house, Shanshan was busy handing over the work at the company, and Tongtong went to arrange the vehicle check-in. You two just drink some lotus root starch, it's time to have lunch soon," Bai Shuhua said. Then I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Yan Feiyue picked up the lotus root noodles on the dining table and said gloatingly: "It seems that we are the only two who have the most leisure time! How good!"
Qi Guanyu looked at a cute little girl who was just lazy when she got the chance. He swallowed the lotus root starch and said with a smile: "Baby, I am the only one who has the most leisure time, because you have to study "Introduction to Acting", and you forgot to Now we have to rely on you to find the dragon's cave."
"Who will be spared by heaven!" Yan Feiyue, who was dreaming of dreams, angrily said to the leisurely and contented official: "You can't escape from my clutches, you have to study with me!"
"Baby, I couldn't ask for more." Qi Guanyu couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied to see A Yue, who was finally free from the burden and having fun after his spiritual roots recovered. He was finally no longer the one she was trying to move forward with. If the burden is over, he will walk side by side with her.
"You two know how to get up!" When Mr. Tong came back, he saw two people walking out of the restaurant carrying bowls and noisily.
"..." When the two of them saw that the old man was back, they didn't dare to fight anymore, and sat on the sofa in the living room eating lotus root noodles.
Mr. Tong is such an amiable person, how could he blame the younger generation! He said: "You two can have a good rest these days. When we set off in a few days, you will be the only one who is tired."
