In Xuantang City, Tianniu Mountains, and inside Fang Dasheng Cave, Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed, and after a few words of greeting, he explained the purpose of his visit.

"This matter!" Fang Dasheng said slowly: "I may not be able to help you. You know that the right to choose lies in the hands of the team and the sect's review and inspection personnel. Although I have been the captain of the team for many years, I really can't talk about it in the sect.

What influence does it have on the world?”

"Even within the alliance, there are some people who don't take me seriously, let alone the disciples in charge of assessment in the sect."

"When I was in the sect, I was a disciple of the Security Department of the Secret Academy, and those responsible for inspections and inspections were the Supervision Department, the Audit Department, the External Affairs Department, and the Economic and Trade Department. They are neither a department nor the same palace. They are nothing like them.

Communicate.”

"Let's do this! If there are monks I know well among the reviewers this time, I will put in a few good words for you."

"This matter ultimately depends on you. According to the sect's rules, when making a decision on the appointment or dismissal of a disciple during the review and inspection, more than half of the veto votes must be taken to take effect. As long as no malfeasance in duty and violation of the law is found in the resource area you are responsible for,

They shouldn’t make things difficult for you.”

"Thank you, uncle, for your advice." Tang Ning responded. He actually didn't have high hopes for this, he just wanted to give it a try.

Fang Dasheng has been in the alliance for many years and has deep influence. Nearly half of the following brigades and squads are promoted by him. If everyone comes to him for help at this critical moment, he will not be able to take care of them.

The wisest way is of course to ignore it, otherwise helping this person and not helping that one will only make people resentful. What's more, it is difficult for him to intervene in this kind of thing. As he said, the assessment disciples sent by the sect will not help him.

He may not know him, and even if he opens his mouth, people may not give him the face.

Even though the disciples of the alliance were not enemies with Fang Dasheng, they were somewhat wary of him, but the disciples of the sect had no such scruples at all.

"Have you ever met Xie Minghua, Hao Lian and Yu Qingxiao? What did they say?"

"The disciple first went to the headquarters brigade to meet Senior Brother Yu. He readily agreed and gave the disciple some guidance. Later when the disciple went to visit Uncle Xie, he didn't see him. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or because he didn't want to see the disciple. As for the disciple

It is useless for the disciples to go to Inspector He's place. He is just making people laugh, but he will be looked down upon by others."

"Why doesn't Xie Minghua want to see you?"

"The incident at the birthday banquet last time was not the cause of the trouble. The disciple disrupted his birthday banquet and had a few arguments with his guests in front of everyone, which made him a little embarrassed and unable to get off the stage. Maybe he blamed the disciple for this.

"

Fang Dasheng smiled slightly: "I've heard about this. Based on my understanding of Junior Brother Xie, he is not such a petty person. He shouldn't be resentful of you for such a trivial matter. Since he doesn't want to see you, you can

Go visit him more often! Show your sincerity, no matter what, he is your immediate superior, and there is no fundamental irreconcilable conflict between you."

"Yes, Senior Brother Yu said the same thing."

The two chatted for a while, and Tang Ning said goodbye and left. She returned to Huajian Pavilion to visit Xie Minghua again, but was rejected again.

…

Another month later, when he visited Xie Minghua for the third time, he finally got to meet him.

…

In the bright and spacious hall, Xie Minghua entered from the outside. Tang Ning quickly stood up and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"You are here today, so you must have something important to report. If you have anything, just say it directly! I have other things to deal with later." Xie Minghua looked cold and walked to the main seat to sit down.

Without his permission, Tang Ning naturally couldn't sit down casually, so she stood where she was and said, "Actually, I came here specifically to apologize to my uncle. Last time, I disturbed my uncle's birthday banquet and I was always uneasy. I didn't have the face to apologize.

I am also afraid that my uncle will blame me, so I have never come here. I sincerely apologize today and hope that my uncle can forgive me for my frivolousness."

"It's been so long since this matter, why are you bringing it up? And I don't blame you. You don't have to take it to heart. If you don't have anything else to do, I won't keep you here."

"Yes, I've disturbed my uncle Qingxiu abruptly, so I'll take my leave now." Tang Ning turned her hand over and took out a wooden box: "This is a thousand-year-old cold blood fruit that the disciple bought at the Xuantang Chengfang City auction.

, I am specially filial to my uncle, I hope my uncle will not dislike you."

Xie Minghua glanced at it and said calmly: "I don't need this thing, you can take it back!"

"Although this thing cannot be appreciated by my uncle, I can still give it to my children and nephews. I hope my uncle will accept it if I have any thoughts."

Xie Minghua remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't object clearly, Tang Ning held up the wooden box with both hands and placed it on the desk, then she silently withdrew.

This is really overwhelming! A Millennium Cold Blood Fruit is worth nearly 30 million spiritual stones. If you send it to others like this, you have to put in good words, lest they won't accept it.

Tang Ning sighed slightly inwardly. He really didn't want to be so humble, but he had no choice. Form was better than others.

…

Time passed by like a flash, and a few months later, Tang Ning came to visit Xie Minghua for the fourth time. This time, Xie Minghua's expression softened compared to the last time, and he even allowed him to take a seat. The two exchanged a few words, and Tang Ning expressed his wishes.

Dao Ming, and offered 20 million spiritual stones.

Xie Minghua accepted the spirit stone and said some words of encouragement, which was regarded as a verbal commitment.

…

As the New Year approaches, heavy snow falls, and Pingling Mountain is covered in snow both inside and outside.

In the cave, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged on a futon, practicing Qi, when footsteps were heard outside, and Gu Yuanya pushed the door open and walked in: "Master, Junior Brother Gao Yuan came to report that the sect's inspection personnel have arrived outside the formation."

"We're finally here." Tangning opened her eyes and flashed out of the cave.

The sect's collection of materials from various Xuanmen in Qingzhou had been completed three months ago. The alliance was mainly responsible for tax collection, and he only acted as a sign-on bridge.

When the direct disciples of the regiment responsible for collection came to Pingling Mountain, he led them to Xuanye Sect to collect and review the spiritual stones they should pay, and he was not responsible for the rest.

After the materials were collected, they were transported by the regiment to the column, and then handed over to the legion. After the disciples from the sect responsible for collecting the materials came down to count them, they were escorted back to Taixuan Sect.

While the materials are collected, some disciples will be left to go to various ministries for review and inspection.

For the chief officials everywhere, this is the highlight. After all, it is a major matter that affects their own affairs.

A figure stood tall on the plateau outside the thick fog. Seeing him disappearing from the light, he bowed and saluted and said: "Uncle Master, after receiving the transmission message, the disciple Yu led the Taixuanzong monks to wait in the south of the formation."

"Immediately inform everyone to gather at the meeting hall." Tangning ordered, and when she arrived outside the southern formation, she saw a wind spirit ship with light flowing in the air.

On the deck, Yu Qingxia was standing on the bow of the ship, with several men standing beside him, and they were talking about something.

"Senior Brother Yu." Tang Ning flashed her light and landed in front of several people, bowing her head.

"Junior Brother Tang, you are here. We were talking about you just now! Come on, let me introduce you." Yu Qingxiao said: "This is Brother Chen Yi from the Xuande Hall Supervision Department, and this is the Qingxuan Hall Audit Department.

Senior Brother Mo Zhenxuan, this is Junior Brother Zhang Chi from the Foreign Affairs Department of Yuanyi Palace, and this is Junior Brother Xun Xinxian from the Economic and Trade Section of the Foreign Affairs Academy."

Among the four, Chen Yi, Mo Zhenxuan, and Zhang Chi are all monks in the late Yuanying stage, and only Xun Xinxian is in the middle stage of Yuanying.

Tang Ning and several others nodded and said, "Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Mo, Senior Brother Zhang, and Senior Brother Xun, here you go. Tang Ning, the captain of the fifth team of the first column of the fourth regiment of Qingwu Camp, warmly welcomes you on behalf of the entire team.

All senior brothers are welcome to come to review and inspect and guide the affairs of our team."

"Junior brother Tang, you don't have to be polite, we are also following orders." Mo Zhenxuan said.

The Fengling Boat slowly entered the inner room and stopped in the open space. Several people came to the meeting hall and took their seats.

Yu Qingxiao sat in the main seat and said: "Junior Brother Tang, please introduce the basic situation of your team to the brothers first!"

"Yes." Tangning responded, "Our team is stationed at Jingyuan Pavilion and has three key resource areas under its jurisdiction."

"One is the Pingling Mountain Spiritual Mine at our feet. This is a top-grade spiritual mine."

"The second one is Fengyan Mountain Spirit Vein. There is a third-level high-grade spiritual vein there."

"The third one is the Xuangan Valley Spiritual Vein, which is a third-level mid-grade spiritual vein."

"In addition to me, our team has nine sect disciples, more than 80 recruiting monks, and a hundred Qi refining monks who are responsible for mining spiritual mines."

Chen Yidao: "Junior brother Tang, we want to check all the internal records files over the years. Do you have any objections?"

"No problem. Every time our team mines spiritual minerals and grows and picks spiritual medicinal herbs, there are corresponding files and records left in the archives. Do you want to read them here, or go directly to the archives to check them?"

Zhang Chi said: "It's inconvenient to move so many files around, so let's go to the archives to check them! Before that, I think we should go to the Lingkuang mining area for on-site investigation."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The group of people immediately left the hall and came to the mining area of ​​​​Ling Mine. Several people took turns asking Cheng Qian, who was in charge of mining affairs, some detailed matters, and Cheng Qian answered them one by one.

It was already night after checking the cost of mining the Ling Mine.

Tang Ning said: "Brothers, you are tired of traveling and traveling. It's time to check in now. Why don't you rest for a night and check again tomorrow. Our team has prepared a dinner to entertain all distinguished guests. I wonder if you can enjoy it?"

"Everyone, this inspection cannot be completed in one day. In addition to the spiritual mine, the fifth team also has two spiritual veins. If you want to conduct a detailed inspection, I am afraid it will take several days. Everyone is a little tired today. I suggest that we do it tomorrow.

How about a detailed investigation?" Yu Qingxiao said from the side.

Several people looked at each other and nodded, and the group headed to the attic. The banquet had already been prepared with spiritual wine, spiritual food, and delicacies suitable for everyone's cultivation level. Tang Ning frequently encouraged people to drink, and the banquet ended at Haishi.

For several days, the sect's review and inspection personnel were checking various files and accounts, and then went to Fengyan Mountain and Xuangan Valley for a detailed investigation.

The inspection team stayed for seven full days. Before leaving, Tang Ning gave each person 20 million spiritual stones, 5 million spiritual wine, spiritual food and other items.

A few months later, news came that during the sect review and inspection, no one in the first team was rejected from continuing to serve in the team. Tangning also asked Yu Qingxiao to inquire privately. When the vote was held that day, he got
Chapter completed!
