The composition of the Xianren Hall is as follows: Li Fenglan, the absolute master of the Xianren Hall. Jade and amber are of the second level and can be understood as deputy masters. Zhu Mingyu and a few new diners. Bai Shuyu, here to visit.
As for dusk clouds and morning mist, they are not from Xianrentang.
Now Miss Li has gone somewhere, and Miss Jade has not come back yet. The one who is in charge should be Amber.
But at this moment, Amber was sitting on the steps in front of the lobby with a frown on her face, staring blankly at the door, her eyes wide open.
The others, Zhu Mingyu, had already asked Lamei to arrange accommodation for them, and everyone except Fu Xiaohu went back to their rooms to rest. Because they missed Li Fenglan along the way, they walked very fast and everyone was very tired.
When Fu Xiaohu saw that everyone had packed up, he rushed back to Nianzi Mountain without stopping, without even drinking.
Zhu Mingyu finished what she was doing, sat down next to Hu Hu, and comforted: "Don't be sad, she is a ghost, nothing will happen to her. Maybe after a while, her anger will subside, and she will come back." Maybe she has something to do like last time, right?"
Amber said gloomily, "You've been saying this all the way."
Zhu Mingyu bent over and turned her head to look at Hu Hua's little face, and asked with a smile: "Hu Hu Hua, have you ever been angry with the two of them since you were a child?"
Amber thought for a while, shook her head and replied, "No, I have never been angry with them... but they often quarrel."
"Maybe it's time for you to get angry."
"Are you angry with Sister Lan?"
"Yes, this is the second time she has left without saying goodbye. She doesn't care about the feelings of either of you at all. I am not trying to instigate your sisterly relationship... Next time you see her, you should say something angry. "
Amber put her chin on her knees and said weakly: "I can't be angry with them... Mingyu, actually, Sister Lan is not that smart."
"You mean she's stupid?"
"I saw it last year, but I never said it. She was a little powerless, and it was difficult to deal with some things. She never ran away before, whether she admitted her mistakes or encountered difficulties, she would stand up. But after the year, she became a little bit It’s different, or in other words, she has changed since she came back from Yaoxian Valley. She is afraid of the people around her being hurt, and she is unclear about Mu Yun and Chen Wu. She always says that she has grown, but in fact she has not... She has always They don’t dare to face separation and death. Mingyu...actually, deep down in my heart, I don’t want her to come back.”
Zhu Mingyu was silent for a while: "As long as you don't come back, you won't encounter these things again and you won't be in trouble again, right?"
"That's right. It's not that she has no talent in martial arts, she just doesn't like it. Mom said that there is no reason for someone with such a high talent in Qinggong to not be able to learn other martial arts. She is very gentle deep down and doesn't want to hurt anyone. I learned Qing Gong just to make it easier to escape. Unlike me, I am very indifferent to human life. When I killed someone for the first time, during those nights I kept expecting that I would have nightmares and be scared to tears. But it didn’t happen. ...What if Sister Lan encounters danger outside?"
Amber's words were so shocking that Zhu Mingyu couldn't help but laugh: "Then do you want her to come back?"
"I don't know either. It's very contradictory."
While they were distressed, the two of them suddenly heard someone behind them say: "Little lion, if you look so gloomy every day, you will get wrinkles."
Amber casually punched her back, Shuo Feng dodged it, wandered in front of Amber, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, before I came out, Xiaozhu meant not to move her, so he told us at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain The same thing. As long as she hides her identity well and is smarter, she will be fine." Kanshu La
Amber rolled her eyes at him: "Get away, I don't want to see you."
Zhu Mingyu was a little puzzled and asked, "Why? As long as she dies, doesn't Ye Yu Xiaozhu save a lot of trouble?"
"First of all, I should take into account Si Ye's feelings, because it's not okay for her to cause discord between father and son. Of course, I don't know if he is Si Ye. Secondly, if I said this, it would be a violation of my oath... …The financial backer gave up and no one gave us money, so it naturally stopped.”
Zhu Mingyu asked again: "Who is the financial owner?"
"I really don't know."
Since last year, Zhu Mingyu has always had a question: In such a big world, there are only a few powerful people, and not many can afford to spend. No matter who has a grudge against Changfeng Tower, they all have it. No matter how you look at it, those sects seem to be the masterminds behind the scenes. If this conjecture is true, it is the last thing Li Fenglan and the Bai family want to see. They have to become enemies of the entire world, and all the previous goodwill policies will be a piece of waste paper.
But if there is one person or gang that hates the three families the most... it's hard to say.
Shuo Feng asked Amber: "Little Lion, we have returned to Luoyang. Do you want to learn boxing from me? You don't have to become a disciple yet."
"Not learn!"
"You're like, you can learn boxing later, and you can practice internal skills and mental skills first. I'm embarrassed to come to your place to eat and drink, so just treat it as my food payment. What do you think?"
"Not good! You move out now! You are not welcome in the Hall of Retreats!"
Zhu Mingyu said helplessly: "She doesn't want to learn, so you can demonstrate it. As long as we Amber sees it, we will know it unconsciously."
"That's a good idea!"
Amber slapped Zhu Mingyu angrily: "Don't give him any advice!"
Amber was unhappy, and even Zhu Mingyu was angry. After killing Zhu Mingyu, Amber walked away angrily.
Watching Amber walk away, Zhu Mingyu looked at Shuofeng and asked with a smile: "Senior, what are your plans?"
"I don't have any plans, I just want to revive the Qijue Sect."
Zhu Mingyu thought for a while: "There are many good talents in Changfeng Tower. Seniors, you might as well go to Chaolan Valley to look for them. Besides, there are many masters in Chaolan Valley now. It's easy to learn from each other and recruit disciples."
Shuofeng smiled and shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but my status is embarrassing, so I won't cause trouble for you. Anyway, it's good here, you have food and drink."
When talking about eating and drinking, Zhu Mingyu was a little worried.
Before Li Fenglan ran away from home for the first time, she bought several servants, and the promised wages were not low. Brother and sister Jiang Jingge couldn't let others work in vain, so they had to show some respect. Calculated in this way, it is a considerable expense. Although Xianrentang has a lot of surplus, it can't last more than a year and a half if it's nothing.
Now that Li Fenglan has run away, the entire Xianrentang has no other means of making a living. We can't let Mr. Zhu keep asking for money from his family. At the end of February, I told my second wife that I wanted to get married. In the blink of an eye, it’s almost August, and the marriage is far away. I don’t have the nerve to go home and ask for money.
Zhu Mingyu was so worried that he scratched his head.
…
After half a year, I returned to the Thorn Gate again, and there were many people in the gate whom Xu Qingchen didn't recognize.
Agarwood had known for a long time that he was coming back, so she sent someone to meet him at the foot of the mountain early. On the way up the mountain, she also told him about the changes in Thorn Gate during this time.
After half a year of expansion, the number of people in Thorns Sect has reached more than 300. Looking at the entire world, this is a force that cannot be underestimated. Coupled with the harsh entry requirements, more than 300 people are basically elite soldiers and generals.
After Xu Qingchen came back, he first went to find the sect master to restore his life.
As usual, Agarwood stayed alone in the study, leaving most of the affairs in the house to Feng Yao and Yang Fan.
After pushing the door open and entering the house, Chen Xiangzhi raised his head and glanced at Xu Qingchen, then lowered his head and looked at the file in his hand, and asked calmly: "I called you back just after we got married, do you mind?"
Xu Qingchen replied: "How dare you."
"You didn't come back with Ayahan?"
"I was afraid that she would be in danger, so I asked her to live with my elder brother and sister-in-law in Yangzhou."
Chen Xiangzhi put down the file and looked up at Xu Qingchen: "Let's talk about business first... From the first month to now, the seat in the Guishi Hall has been vacant, and I don't have a suitable candidate here. Originally, I wanted Linghan to take over, but She's not here now. Qingchen, let me take care of things in the hall."
Xu Qingchen was a little frightened: "Master, I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Chen Xiangzhi lowered his head and read the file again, "No matter how bad you are at taking care of things, you are still better than me."
"The master is joking."
"You go to Master Feng and ask him to explain to you the matter of giving the office."
"My subordinates obey."
Xu Qingchen was about to go out when he suddenly thought of something: "Master, in the past six months..."
"I know everything."
Xu Qingchen didn't want to say anything else, so he opened the door and went out.
Feng Yao has been very busy recently. There are many loyal and courageous people in the family, and there are also many masters, but not many are thoughtful. Only Yang Fan is full of calculations. But Yang Fan was in poor health recently and had been bedridden for half a month. Feng Yao couldn't help the young man to death, so he had to do everything himself.
Xu Qingchen's return made Feng Yao feel a lot more relaxed. He walked into Feng Yao's study, and Feng Yao took him to the Gishitang residence.
There are currently more than fifty people in the service hall, and those who were previously in Luzhou have also been assigned to his command. Except for the old people who worked together in Luzhou, the remaining thirty or so people are all new members of the gang.
Feng Yao asked everyone to get together and get to know the new leader.
After everyone met, Feng Yao pulled Xu Qingchen back to the study.
"Qingchen, we used to arrange manpower according to the layout map given by Miss Li. Now that we know that the map is fake, we have to recall the disciples from all over the place. Now there are more people. The position of the Guishi Hall is very important, mainly Responsible for the internal procurement matters. This matter is very complicated and no one else can do it except you and Yang Fan."
Xu Qingchen nodded: "Qingchen will definitely fulfill his mission."
Feng Yao smiled softly: "You don't have to be so serious. You will know how to do it as soon as you get started. I brought you here to tell you something."
"Master Feng, please speak."
"When you came out of Yangzhou, you just didn't catch up...Miss Li from Xianrentang ran away from home again."
Xu Qingchen couldn't help but frowned: "Running away from home? I don't think she has anything wrong with her. Why did she leave suddenly?"
Feng Yao shook his head: "We don't know this either. Before, we formed an alliance with the Xianrentang and had no contact with the Bai family. Now that Miss Li is gone, do you think we can trust the Bai family?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "If you had asked me half a year ago, I would have definitely said you could trust it, because I can trust Miss Li. But now... we'd better confirm it ourselves."
Feng Yao smiled happily: "Then how do you think you can confirm it?"
Xu Qingchen replied: "It depends on how much the Bai family is willing to say."
Feng Yao nodded: "That's a way...it's done. There are a lot of things to do in the office. I won't keep you here anymore. You can hurry up and get busy."
"Junior understands."
