Chapter 71 Double Reed
Chapter 71 Double spring
The scorching sun hangs high, but Bai Qi's face is covered with frost.
The resentment she had not faded from more than ten days ago. The shopkeeper of an inn dared to threaten herself, even before, was unforgivable in her eyes. Now that she has joined the Gu Huan Sect, she has become an exception and accepted as a disciple by the sect leader. She is undoubtedly threatened by an inn shopkeeper of an inn.
But the shopkeeper has a spiritual array that he has to hold on even if he is angry.
Every time he goes out to get some breath, Bai Qi has a strong urge to chop the tables and stools in the lobby, but every time, he is so hungry that he can't breathe, he has to endure it.
There is no way. Although she doesn't care about her strength or doesn't care about any spiritual speed formation, the pressure brought by her fellow disciples of Gu Huanzong forced her to feel a strong sense of crisis that she wants to become stronger.
When she heard that she wanted to go to the backyard herself, Bai Qi wanted to turn her head and leave, but she didn't dare. If she were any ordinary person, she wouldn't take the other party's threat seriously, because she was arrogant and didn't believe that the other party dared to take the threat into action.
Bai Qi felt unquestionable about the threat from this shopkeeper Lin. It was precisely because of this that she felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"Miss Bai Qi, the shopkeeper is there. I'll leave first if I have nothing to do."
As one of the five first friends who followed Lin Dong, Liu Hao was not afraid of Bai Qi's anger. He pointed to the open door and turned around and left.
This attitude made Bai Qi angry again. A friend dared to show his face to him. It was indeed good if he had the right master and the right servant.
When Bai Qi realized it, Liu Hao had already left the backyard and could not find a partner if he wanted to get angry. Helplessly, she could only step into the room with a cold face.
His eyes moved in the room, and to the left, Lin Dong, who was sitting upright on the bench, was the first to enter his sight.
Just as he was about to speak, there seemed to be a figure in the corner of his eyes. Bai Qi glanced at him impatiently, and his gaze that wanted to withdraw suddenly froze.
"Teacher, Master? Are you here to find me?"
Bai Qi looked at Xiao Tianchi and was shocked. Could it be that Master came to investigate that he had been going down the mountain for too long? If he didn't know, I'm afraid anyone would feel that he was favored and charming, and could not stand the hardships of Gu Huanshan.
How can I explain this? If I say that I came to the inn for practice and cannot explain the reason, who would believe it?
Xiao Tianchi's face, with many wrinkles, showed a kind smile of He Xi: "Bai Qi, during the time when his teacher was away, he has not encountered any difficulties in spiritual skills, right?"
"No, no!" Seeing that Xiao Tianchi was so kind to care about his cultivation without asking about going down the mountain, Bai Qi felt flattered and shook her head quickly.
"It's good if there isn't." Xiao Tianchi nodded and said earnestly: "If you practice, you will retreat if you don't advance. You will have to practice hard in the future. You will be distracted when you are at the foot of the mountain for a long time."
Bai Qi was shocked and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain.
Xiao Tianchi waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you as a teacher. It is normal for young people to be unable to withstand the boredom on the mountain."
Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, she was shocked and her white forehead was already scared and sweated a lot.
His eyes were accidentally swept Lin Dong, who was as stable as Mount Tai, and then looked at Xiao Tianchi. Bai Qi secretly sighed, "The ignorant is fearless!" In front of his master, he didn't even dare to show off his anger. This is better, the leader of the Gu Huan Sect was standing, and he could even sit still.
Afraid that Xiao Tianchi would ask another terrifying question, Bai Qi turned her gaze and looked at Lin Dong, and said lukewarmly: "Shopkeeper Lin, your man said you have something to ask me?"
"Shopkeeper Lin?" Xiao Tianchi exclaimed lightly, and frowned slightly when Bai Qi looked over.
Bai Qi's heart beat violently again. Seeing that Xiao Tianchi didn't say much, he felt a little relieved. Maybe he was thinking of other things!
"Bai Qi, I heard from the guy that you plan to go back to Guhuan Mountain today. I came to you to explain a few words." Lin Dong also said earnestly: "After returning to Guhuan Sect, you must work hard to practice, and you cannot rely on the willful Hu Wei, the disciple of the sect leader."
Bai Qi twitched her eyelids. If she hadn't remembered that Xiao Tianchi was right beside her, she almost asked who you are.
"Bai Qi, Manager Lin is caring about you. What is your attitude?" Xiao Tianchi said unhappy.
Bai Qi did not dare to disobey, so she glared at Lin Dong fiercely and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Lin for your concern."
"It's Storekeeper Lin again?" Xiao Tianchi said in surprise: "Shopkeeper Lin, didn't you send someone to tell me last time that Bai Qi is the daughter of your best friend?"
Lin Dong smiled and explained: "Bai Qi has had a quarrel with me recently, and the little girl is inevitably a little willful. Sect Master Xiao may have to take more responsibility in the future."
Xiao Tianchi looked dazed and smiled: "Since Manager Lin was asked by his friend to hand Bai Qi over to me for discipline, I will naturally do my best."
Bai Qi was a little confused when she heard this conversation.
"Master, do you know him?"
"Didn't Shopkeeper Lin tell you?" Xiao Tianchi said in surprise: "To put it, it's also my opinion. Shopkeeper Meng Lin can respect it. It can be regarded as a friendship for many years."
Bai Qi was struck by lightning, looking at Lin Dong in shock, her lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word.
It turned out that he was really accepted as a disciple by the sect leader by his relationship. But how could an inn shopkeeper have a friendship with a sect leader who transcends the secular world? What's more, the master's tone was a little humble.
Looking at Bai Qi's pale face, Lin Dong sighed inwardly and said slowly: "I didn't tell you about my friendship with Sect Master Xiao because I was afraid that you would be spoiled in Gu Huanzong."
Bai Qi's body trembled slightly, and it seemed that she was holding a thousand-pound object on her head. If it were usual, she was very disdainful to look at Lin Dong, but now she didn't even have the courage to look up at Lin Dong.
"I have something to talk about with Sect Master Xiao. If you have nothing to do, you can go back to Gu Huanzong first! Think about what I said to you." Lin Dong said.
Bai Qi nodded in confusion, but actually forgot to say hello to Xiao Tianchi who had always been awe in the past. His steps were a little sloppy and he left the room in a daze.
Lin Dong and Xiao Tianchi looked at each other, and both smiled helplessly.
"Sect Master Xiao, please take care of Bai Qi in the future. Today's incident will probably have a great blow to her."
Xiao Tianchi nodded and sat down on the bench.
Next is the consumption of spirit stones and the use of guards. The former is as expected by Xiao Tianchi. Each person has two first-level spirit stones per day. This consumption is under Xiao Tianchi's expectations, so there will naturally be no objection.
Be careful about guarding matters. In addition, Lin Dong promised that the disciples who came to the inn to practice would not report to the sect. When they encountered big trouble, they would not have to rely on the reputation of the Gu Huanzong. They should not cause any great disasters for the Gu Huanzong. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Tianchi agreed.
He called Tianhao to accompany Xiao Tianchi, Lin Dong went to the guest room to find Fu Chunjian, exchanged a few greetings, took out the fourth-level spiritual skills and the token of the sect leader given by Xiao Tianchi, and handed them over.
After Fu Chunjian saw the two items clearly, he was overjoyed.
"Shopkeeper Lin, Xilan City can be protected from the harm of Zhang Zhanquan, you have made great contributions!"
"If you can do your best, just do some effort." Lin Dong said politely and said seriously: "Director Fu, according to your estimate, is it possible for this fourth-level spiritual skill to be replaced with greater benefits?"
"A greater benefit?" Fu Chunjian was confused.
Lin Dong explained: "For example...change a county magistrate?"
Fu Chunjian's heart moved. The third-level spiritual skills are not allowed to be passed on in the sect. In the Tianwei Pavilion, they can only be passed on to the royal family and the warriors who are loyal to the Han Dynasty. Although the county maid is a chief official, no matter how powerful it is, he may only get one or two third- and fourth-level spiritual skills from the warriors who want money or the disciples of the sect.
If you don’t want to be tracked down by Tianwei Pavilion, these spiritual skills can only be practiced secretly and only dare to use them when you save your life.
Now, a fourth-level spiritual skill that does not need to worry about anything is in front of you. For other county maids, if you designate a candidate for cultivation, it may be a bit useless. In the eyes of county maids, who have a martial arts only son, its value may be extraordinary.
Using the position of a county magistrate to exchange is just a bit disappointing to the officials under his command. Using a little means can redistribute the interests well, and no matter how you calculate it, you won’t suffer any loss.
"But, in terms of this candidate..."
Fu Chunjian searched his heart and had many good officials. But when he transferred them to the city, the people of Xilan City were relieved, and the original place would be affected. As for officials under the seventh rank, he rarely collected information on this and racked his brains. Xilan City could not find a person who was capable of governing the place and could withstand countless temptations and pressure from above.
"Director Fu, aren't you right?" Lin Dong said with a smile.
"Me?" Fu Chunjian was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. In this life, he would never become an official again if he was beaten to death.
Even Fu Tongshan couldn't help him. Lin Dong didn't believe that he could convince Fu Chunjian in a few words. After thinking about it, he was too lazy to worry and said without hesitation: "I can't help with the rest. Fortunately, there is still some time, so Dean Fu will decide for himself!"
