Chapter 49: Parents’ Heart

The high priest said, "That's right, they are your biological parents after all. They want to sell you for both themselves and your brother and for you to survive."

Li Xia frowned and the high priest said, "Your monthly salary is five taels now. You don't think it's too much, but have you ever thought that if they don't want you, why not send you to the selection of children's servants? If you have a full meal for more than ten days, they can get silver, no matter how alive they die, and there will be more."

Li Xia was stunned. What she had always been worried about was that her parents sold her to the old man as a concubine, but never thought that her parents did not want her to die, but wanted her to live.

But Li Xia didn't want to admit it and argued: "Maybe they didn't know that they would have to get the money if they died."

The high priest said, "It has been hundreds of years since the selection of the boy's servants. The winner has always reached the sky in one step, and the dead are given silver pensions. This is not a secret. Even if they don't know, if they have the will, they can ask someone."

Li Xia's eyes turned red in an instant, and two tears were in her eyes, and she forced herself to not fall.

The high priest said, "I feel sorry for parents in the world. You are a weak woman who comes to participate in the selection of children's servants. Everyone knows that there is no life in the ten deaths. Wouldn't you also have the will to die? If it weren't for chance, you wouldn't have survived."

Li Xia's tears fell, in order to misunderstand her parents and to lose Gu Du.

The high priest said, "I didn't tell you this at the beginning because you have great talent. I'm afraid that these mundane things will affect your state of mind and hinder your cultivation. But now your foundation is solid, and it's time for you to understand where you are wrong."

Li Xia cried out with a wow voice.

The high priest frowned and said, "Okay, okay, girls are just this trouble, they cry at any time."

Meng Yuan came to Chu Qin's residence, bowed and said, "Master Chu, my disciples followed the priest's order to inform Master Chu. The high priest specially allowed Jin Lan to enter the palace. He wrote to Master Chu to teach him in his name, so that the next boy's servant would be selected."

Chu Qin was a little surprised. Gu Du had already sent Jin Lan out of the palace. When he came back and found out the news, he would probably be crazy and replied: "I understand, but when will he enter the palace?"

Meng Yuan replied: "Master Chu decided to take advantage of it by himself. The priest had already ordered people to create a sign of the boy servant for Jin Lan, and it would be sent to Master Chu soon."

Chu Qin nodded and replied, "Okay."

Meng Yuan bowed and said, "Disciple leaves."

Meng Yuan left, Shangguan He said, "This time the brat should be beautiful, it's just a pity for Lixia."

Chu Qin said: "Marriage is determined by nature. You can be brothers and sisters without being a husband and wife. In the battle of Rizhao, our lives are tied to the front line. This is the fate of the past life. Since the affairs of Gu Du and Jin Lan have been decided, don't get involved in the future."

Shangguan He glared at him and said angrily: "You said to me again? I'll sleep at night!"

Chu Qin smiled, hugged her and coaxed her, "Stop the anger of a wife, I'm just telling her husband."

"Hmph." Shangguan He rolled his eyes.

Gu Du came back and heard the news, so happy that he couldn't stop talking. Shangguan He smiled and said, "Go quickly, take her into the palace today while it's still early."

Gu Du replied with a smile: "Yes! The disciple is gone."

Gu Du turned around and ran away, Shangguan He sneered: "What did you hear him say? The disciple went there, and it was like he was going to die."

Chu Qin laughed and said, "Why are you talking like that?"

Shangguan He said: "My own brother, just say whatever he wants, and you care about me."

Gu Du ran home again and told Jin Lan the news that he could enter the palace with panting. Jin Lan was so happy that she hugged his neck and screamed. After screaming, she kissed him again. After a while, she suddenly calmed down and asked, "I'll enter the palace too, what should I do in this house? What should I do with these people in my family?"

Gu Du was stunned by the question, and then replied, "The Soul Lord and Senior Sister, no, they should be Master Shangguan. They both live in the palace, but the Soul Lord's house is still his. Just keep it like this, can it be occupied by someone?"

Jin Lan said: "That's not, it's just a pity."

Gu Du said: "Let's put it aside, these people in the family still have their wages."

"That's right." Jin Lan pushed him away, turned around and said, "The gold and silver must be taken away."

In the north, the Zeguo Palace, the high priest of the Imperial Spirit Secretary bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do to report."

Emperor Ze waved his hand, sighed, and said, "I know what you want to say. It took Dang Qiuhe ten years to control the wolf pack. No one can communicate with the beast spirit except him, but now he died for his country in his first battle... I will definitely give much pension to his family."

The high priest said, "Your Majesty, this is not what I want to say."

Emperor Ze said, "You want to say that my soul army is too weak, I know."

The high priest sighed, and Zedi said, "The selection of Lingguo is harmful to the heavens and the reason. If I learn from them, why should I resist them? Why should I let my soldiers in Zediguo fight in blood?"

The high priest lowered his head, sighed heavily, and said, "I know the emperor's kindness, but I still want to say that if I cannot improve the spiritual power of the soul army, I may never be able to get close to the Imperial City of the Spirit Kingdom."

Emperor Ze said, "I think success or failure depends on the generals, not soldiers. I am not as good as Chu Qin. Not to mention Chu Qin, even a rising star like Gu Du and Li Xia... By the way, what's the matter with that child named Jin Lan?"

The high priest replied: "I underestimated Gu Du. Fengjiu led the two to attack Gu Du at night. He wanted to use the method of death to confirm Jin Lan's situation, but Gu Du was very impressive. He defeated the enemy with one move. In the end, he used Fengjiu to let go and cut off Jin Lan's retreat."

Emperor Ze slapped the table and said, "Look! People teach their disciples, and you also teach their disciples. The disciples defeat the enemy with one move, and your disciples are controlled with one move! I just said, success or failure depends on the general! Is there anything wrong?"

The high priest knelt down and said, "I am incompetent, please punish the emperor."

Emperor Ze said, "I am not going to punish anyone, I am going to be a talent!"

The high priest said: "The selection of Ling Kingdom is based on a cage and the talent you get is naturally strong."

Zedi walked up to him, pointed at the high priest's forehead and said angrily: "You are nonsense! Are you a talented person? What does it have to do with the way of winning?"

The high priest lowered his head, Zedi relaxed for a moment, and asked, "What happened later?"

The high priest replied: "I ordered Fengjiu to hold his troops and wait for the opportunity. But I am afraid that Jin Lan will be rebellious if he has this backer."

Zedi said: "You still think that I want Jin Lan to rebel against the Du?"

The high priest was stunned and said, "Please make it clear."

Zedi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If you can get such a strong backer, let alone Jin Lan, a weak woman who wanders in a foreign land, I am afraid that most people will be disobedient. I don't care what Jin Lan will do. I just gave Gu Du a weak point that can be hurt."
