Chapter 48: Review

He took Jin Lan back to Chu Qin's residence. After seeing Li, Jin Lan and Li Xia looked at each other secretly. After dinner, Gu Du and Li Xia went to train soldiers. After returning from training, Li Xia grabbed Jin Lan and said, "Sleep with me."

Gu Du was stunned, Jin Lan responded with a smile: "Okay."

Neither of them paid attention to Gu Du and went upstairs with his hands. Because Chu Qin married Shangguan He, Gu Du felt that it was not suitable for him to live upstairs, so he changed rooms with Li Xia early in the morning. He lives downstairs now.

When Jin Lan woke up early the next day, she saw Gu Du and Li Xia practicing together, and her eyes were straightened. Only then did she realize that Gu Du was even better than what she saw and imagined, and Li Xia was not weak either. If she was not physically weaker than Gu Du, she should be even better than Gu Du.

At the end of Chen Shi, Chu Qin took Jin Lan to meet the priest, and on the way, he instructed Jin Lan: "No matter what you ask, you must answer according to the truth and do not hide it at all."

Jin Lan replied: "Yes."

After seeing the priest, after performing the ritual, the priest asked, "Jin Lan, what is your identity in Zeguo?"

Jin Lan replied: "I am Ling Shi, and I was selected three years ago."

The priest asked again, "If you are allowed to enter the Soul Correspondence Department, would you like to go to battle and kill the enemy for my spiritual country?"

Jin Lan replied: "I am an orphan. I grew up in Lingshi Dean. The meaning of living is to become Lingshi and then become the Spirit Master. I have no father or mother, no relatives or friends. If I had not saved my life one after another, I would have been a pile of rotten bones on the roadside. If I were allowed to be with Gu Du and I, I would have followed his horse's head and sacrificed my life."

From the priest smiled and said, "Good answer."

Jin Lan said a lot of things, but in fact she only had one meaning. She only followed Gu Du, and she would do whatever Gu Du did. She did not promise to be loyal to Lingguo, she just shared life and death with Gu Du.

From the priest asked again, "Who is in contact with you?"

Jin Lan replied: "The first disciple of the high priest of the Imperial Spirit Division of Zeguo, Feng Jiu."

From the priest, he asked again: "Where are the nine people in Fengxia now?"

Jin Lan replied: "I don't know, since the last attempt to assassinate Gu Du, there has been no news."

The priest asked again, "If I order you to trap Fengjiu, would you like?"

Jin Lan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't want to."

From the priest smiled and asked, "Why?"

Jin Lan replied: "Although I am sincere in betraying, I have limited ability and dare not cause trouble. The reason why I betrayed is to survive and to be with Gu Du. If I trap Feng Jiu for the adults, I will have my life worry."

The priest asked again, "If one day, Gu Du treasons and surrender to the enemy, what will you do?"

Jin Lan replied without hesitation: "Life must sleep together, death must be in the same acupoint, and the world must follow the left and right."

After a moment of silence from the priest, he said, "You are allowed to become naturalized and you can go back."

Jin Lan showed joy on her face and bowed to respond, "Thank you sir."

Chu Qin took Jin Lan away, went from the priest to find the high priest, and said, "The subordinates have completed the review and approved Jin Lan's naturalization."

The high priest said, "Just go and do it, why do you need to come and meet me?"

From the priest, he replied, "I heard something from the question that Jin Lan was an orphan and grew up in the Lingshiyuan since childhood."

The high priest asked, "Is Zeguo cultivating the spiritual servant?"

From the priest replied, "It should be."

The high priest asked, "Do you think we should do this too?"

From the priest replied: "I think that if the soul army is cultivated by the country of Ze, the construction of the soul army should be the soldiers who died in battle on the battlefield. Because of this, the soul army of Ze has always been inferior to us. Although it is huge in number, it is vulnerable."

After pausing, the priest said again: "I'm thinking that although our selection method is cruel, the soul army we have obtained is excellent. I want to set up a kindergarten and raise orphans and children that my parents cannot afford. When I grow up, I want to become a soul master to participate in the selection. If I don't want to become a soul master, I can join the army."

The high priest nodded slightly and said, "At least there will be no children who die in vain, so that they can have enough food and clothing, and they can also preserve their natural spiritual power as much as possible. But there is one thing, have you ever thought about how much kuyin will be spent?"

From the priest replied, "The subordinates only have some thoughts. If they are established seriously, they still need to consult with the Military and Political Department."

The high priest said, "You think very well, but the time is wrong. This year, the world is drought, the national treasury is empty, and after a lot of war, the soldiers are suffering a lot. The Military and Political Department must recruit soldiers again. There is not enough money. Let's talk about it when it slows down."

From the priest, answered: "Yes."

The high priest said again: "Since Jin Lan has been approved for naturalization, let's do it to the end. We will allow Jin Lan to enter the palace and write it under Chu Qin's name to teach it, waiting for the next election."

From the priest, he replied, "Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

After leaving the priest, the high priest called out, "Dongfangxuan, go and call Lixia for me."

The high priest had two things to look for Li Xia. The first thing was that after Li Xia was promoted, she could no longer live with Chu Qin. After all, she was different from Shangguan He. Li Xia had to have her own residence. From the next session, she would also have to take the children's servant.

So the high priest had to ask Lixia whether she wanted to live closer to Chu Qin or farther away. After all, Lixia was a person valued by the high priest and a girl, so she had to coax her.

Li Xia struggled for a while before answering: "I want to live closer, so I still need Gu Du to accompany me to practice martial arts."

The high priest smiled and said, "That's right. If you can't be a husband and wife, you can be a brother and sister. You are not used to practicing martial arts with others. Besides, there are few people who can compete with Gu Du. Although you can be promoted, you can lead the soul army. You still have to practice Chu Qin's soul army."

Li Xia bowed and replied, "Thank you, the High Priest."

The high priest said, "There is another thing. Your parents went to the yamen to sue you, saying that you did not recognize your parents. Other children will be given twenty taels of silver when they die, but your family only has five taels of silver."

Li Xia said angrily: "They wanted to sell me to an old man as a concubine for five taels of silver! I came to participate in the selection of children's servants, and they didn't send me it! Why should I..."

Lisha stopped and bowed and said, "Disciple has lost his etiquette, please forgive me for your sins."

The high priest smiled and said, "It's okay, you have experienced a life-and-death battle with Chu Qin, and your anger has become much stronger."

Li Xia lowered her head and said, "Disciples use their lives for the country and are bleeding from the border. Is it possible that the yamen still punishing their disciples for their crimes?"

The high priest smiled and said, "That's not the case. It was because the yamen did not dare to handle this case that he sent the file to the Soul-Yuan Department."

Li Xia said coldly: "The kindness of giving birth is only worth five taels of silver in their hearts. Now the five taels of silver have been given, and the disciples have no connection with them anymore. I also ask the high priest to make the decision for the disciples."
