By the time Lin Haoming returned to the Lin family, it was already midnight, but Tang Xi, the sister-in-law, had not rested yet. She seemed to be waiting for Lin Haoming to come back. When she saw him, she proactively asked with a smile: "Haoming is back, give it to the prefect." Sir, congratulations on your birthday, have you seen the prefect?"
"I just saw it from a distance, and then went to a banquet in the side hall, but Master Shi said a few words to me, and also mentioned that the prefect was also there when I was born." Lin Haoming said.
"This means that the prefect still remembers you. This is a great thing. If you make some achievements in the future and make the prefect remember you, then you will have the opportunity to rise to prominence in the future."
Tang Xi was also a little surprised when he said these words, and these words were not false, otherwise Xun Can would not be envious. Tang Xi even felt that if Lin Haoming was lucky, he might be more promising than her husband in the future. It's possible. After all, my husband has real problems in cultivation. He has been stuck in the middle stage of Nascent Soul for many years. If he can't advance to the later stage, his lifespan will only be about 2,500 years, which is only six or seven hundred years. Time, and how much Yuanshi will be consumed in the last few hundred years in order to survive, is also her biggest weakness now. And if Lin Xu dies, and the Lin family all turns to the second child, then her life will not be easy. .
Tang Xi wanted to win over Lin Haoming through marriage, but she had only mentioned Lin Haoming to the girl before. She looked down upon Lin Haoming and regarded Lin Haoming as just a domestic servant.
Tang Xi knew that although she was Lin Zhang's daughter, she was only the daughter of the manager on the surface, so she was most taboo about her status. Naturally, she looked down on Lin Haoming, her adopted son.
After testing, Tang Xi had no choice but to give up on her, but after giving up on her, he really had no suitable candidate. His Tang family was just a small and weak family, and he was now considered one of the top masters in the family in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. There are no successful women among the younger generation, which gives her a headache, so now she can only try her best to win over Lin Haoming with affection.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Haoming said politely.
"Haoming, if you're drinking there, it's not convenient for you to use your energy to force out the alcohol, so I specially asked someone to make some sake soup." Tang Xi took the initiative.
"Sister-in-law is really considerate. My eldest brother can marry a woman like my sister-in-law. No wonder you have been devoted to me all these years." Lin Haoming said politely.
Tang Xi smiled and said: "He doesn't care about me wholeheartedly, but no good woman likes him, so he can only make do with me."
Lin Haoming also knew that Tang Xi was joking on purpose, so he didn't say anything more. He just thanked him and had a drink, then politely went back to rest.
Lin Haoming knew that this was the elder brother who wanted to win over him, so Lin Haoming deliberately kept a distance, especially in the next two days. When everything was settled, Lin Haoming also deliberately pretended to be in a hurry to go back and recover, and did not give Lin Xu anything. He spent more time greeting Tang Xi and then left.
It's not like when you came here, where you had to collect taxes all the way. You just took some supplies and people with you, and the starry sky boat you took was much smaller.
In fact, the most convenient way is to go directly from the starry sky teleportation array. It’s just that you have something with you and it’s inconvenient to take it out, because there is no way to overlap the space between here and Wen Nanxing’s starry sky teleportation array. Although items can be teleported, it is equivalent to losing storage. No one wants to take out all the primeval stones in the bag. Although the starry sky boat has to be taken out, it can be kept in a confidential room. This is also the method accepted by everyone.
The Star Teleportation Array can travel back and forth, but because of the regulations throughout the empire, people who guard one side, such as prefects and guards, cannot leave the guarded place at will unless they are reporting on their duties or on duty. The reason for such an order is entirely to prevent someone from treason. This is how Wang Fusheng gathered his people and plotted to seize the Fusheng Galaxy. Therefore, the control of the Fusheng Galaxy is extremely strict. Otherwise, if there is a teleportation array, the planets will be guarded. All are here.
There were no surprises along the way on the Star Boat. It took more than half a year to collect taxes on the way there. Even though it would stop at more than ten places on the way back, it only took less than three months in total.
When Lin Haoming saw Lin Zhang, he handed over the Yuan Stone and then explained some of the situation.
Lin Zhang looked at the quantity in the storage bag and was very satisfied. When he heard that Lin Haoming was sure to be connected with Fan Kuo and others, he nodded with satisfaction. Finally, after hearing Shi Kang's words at the birthday banquet, he also looked at Lin Haoming specially. , I was also quite proud of myself. It seemed that I was really lucky. As expected, I sent this boy to make the prefect realize his loyalty.
When he finished speaking, Lin Zhang smiled and took out three thousand yuan stones from it and gave it to Lin Haoming, and then said: "Haoming, I know you have received some goods from this trip, but that is yours, and this is righteousness." Father gave it to you, practice it well, and when you advance to Nascent Soul, you will be responsible for paying taxes in the future."
When Lin Haoming heard this, he was naturally grateful.
As soon as Lin Haoming left, Hai Lanfeng came out immediately.
"This guy does things very neatly."
"He is indeed a helper at the moment, but we can't train him with all our strength."
"Why?" Lin Zhang was a little surprised.
"After all, he and you have a grudge against killing your mother. You seem to respect you very much now. Who knows what you are thinking in your heart, what if in the future..."
"Haha, let me ask you, are you a little over-concerned? He is only at the Golden Core stage, so what if he advances to Yuanying? I am already in the middle stage of Divine Transformation, and I am still afraid of him. This time, this line is completely smooth, so continue It turns out that those old things can be taken care of, and I will be the only voice in the Lin family from now on." Lin Zhang said arrogantly.
Hai Lanfeng also knew not to contradict her at this time and immediately showed her charm again.
Lin Haoming naturally saw all this, and Lin Haoming didn't pay much attention to it.
Next, Lin Haoming pretended that he had gained a lot from his trip, and after less than a hundred years, he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
It took less than 400 years to advance to the Nascent Soul, so his qualifications are considered good. However, Lin Zhang only advanced to the Nascent Soul in more than 300 years, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
He had promised Lin Haoming that if he advanced, he would be appointed in the future, so he directly appointed Lin Haoming as the commander of the Wennan Star Tax Department.
This appointment also caused a lot of backlash, because the original commander of the Tax Department was also a member of the Lin family, and he was Lin Zhang's cousin. He made a lot of contributions when Lin Zhang took over. Unfortunately, this person was somewhat greedy. He was considered to be Lin Zhang when he was the Tax Department. Reward based on merit, but in the end, he got too much. Lin Zhang needed his support at the beginning, but naturally he doesn't need it now. In addition, he had long been disliked by him, so he directly replaced him, which was also a reminder to him. This time he directly demonstrated his power as a guard.
In this way, Lin Haoming's status as a confidant was established, and more than ten years later, the advanced Nascent Soul took the tax boat to Star Xuan again.
