Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 558 The Attempt
"Master, you won't stay in Tianshui Lake when you have advanced to the Golden Core Realm this time! Where are you going to work?" The two walked into the cave, and Gu Yuanya followed behind him step by step.

"The steward of Yuanyi Palace has been appointed."

"Then I also want to go back to the sect to follow the master, master, please arrange it quickly!"

"Didn't you come back already?"

Gu Yuanya said: "Master, please arrange for me to go to Yuanyi Hall!"

"Why go to Yuanyi Palace?"

"Although I have a temporary position in the Supervision Department, I don't know anyone in the Supervision Department. You are in Yuanyi Palace, so of course I will follow you."

"You're a grown man, and you're not a child. Why do you want to follow me? You were low in cultivation before, so I asked you to follow me so that I can guide you in your cultivation. When you come back this time, you can work in the inspectorate department!"

"Oh." Gu Yuanya replied dejectedly.

"Go and invite Xu Qingwan."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya followed and left. Tangning returned to the main room and sat cross-legged. After about an incense stick, footsteps sounded outside the room. Xu Qingwan came in from the outside and saluted, "Uncle Tang, what are your orders?" ?”

"There are no outsiders, so you don't need to be so polite, just sit down!"

Xu Qingwan took her seat as promised, and Tangning said, "You are invited to come because I have something to tell you. I have already told the head teacher that you will be transferred to the palm print department of Yuanyi Palace. The appointment will be issued in a few days. Get ready."

Xu Qingwan nodded in agreement.

"I transferred you to the Palm Printing Department because I hope you can help me complete the sect's financial system reform plan." Tangning flipped through her hands and found a stack of heavy files: "This contains the sect's financial income and expenditures for the past ten years. Take a look at the detailed records. We need to reduce the sect’s financial expenditure by at least two million spirit stones every year.”

Xu Qingwan took the file and flipped through it, the room was silent for a moment, only the sound of her flipping the paper.

After a long time, she put down the file in her hand and said: "I probably already understand the Zongmen's finances. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. I don't know where to start for a while."

"There is no need to worry about this matter. I came to you today just to inform you about this matter. I will think about it slowly when I get familiar with the matter when I arrive at Yuanyi Hall."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Tangning nodded slightly, and Xu Qingwan got up and left the room.

Seeing her disappearing back, Tangning frowned slightly. She seemed a little different from before.

Although she often had a cold expression before, she seemed to be more indifferent today, as if she had something on her mind.

Tangning was keenly aware of her abnormalities today, but she neither took the initiative to mention it nor did she want to ask about it. After all, it was someone else's private matter.

Gu Yuanya came in from the outside, and said slightly dissatisfied: "Master, you arranged Aunt Xu to go to Yuanyi Hall, why didn't you arrange me to go, you are too partial."

Tangning smiled, "I asked her to go to Yuanyi Palace because of business matters. Why are you partial? What nonsense?"

"Then I can help you with the business too!"

"You think it's that easy? Let me tell you! It's all difficult and offending things, you! You'd better just stay in the inspection department and concentrate on your cultivation. We'll talk about these things when you build your foundation."

"Master, I heard a lot of people talking about whether there is any relationship between you and Aunt Xu? Or you can just marry her and let her be my wife!"

"You child, the more you talk, the more outrageous it is. It's all hearsay and nothing."

"Don't care if it's true or not, anyway, I think Aunt Xu is pretty good. You are unmarried and she is unmarried. If you like her, you have to do it quickly, or it will be too late if others preempt you. Aunt Xu is so good-looking. Don't be tempted! If you become my teacher's wife, it will save other people from worrying about it."

"Who says I'm not married? I've been married a long time ago."

Gu Yuanya was shocked and said, "Are you married? Then why haven't I seen my wife for so many years?"

"Your teacher's wife is not in Xingang, and I haven't seen her for many years. When I married her, your father was not even born! How can you see her?"

"Who is Mistress? Is she good-looking? How is she better than Aunt Xu?"

"Much better looking than her."

"I don't believe it! The master must be talking big. I haven't seen anyone who is prettier than Aunt Xu!"

"That's because you don't know much. How old are you and how many people have you met? If you have lived for more than two hundred years like a teacher, you will naturally have met everyone."

When will the mistress come back? "

"When you reach the level of being a teacher, you'll be able to meet her," Tangning said casually.

...............

Xu Qingwan returned to the cave, sat down cross-legged, staring blankly at the stone wall.

In fact, she really wanted to ask if Tangning killed Zheng Wei and why she did it, but reason eventually prevailed over impulse.

She recalled the details of the intelligence station back then, Zheng Wei's voice and appearance seemed to be in front of her eyes, she couldn't help feeling guilty, she knew Zheng Wei's sincerity towards her.

If he hadn't been so decisive at the beginning, maybe he wouldn't have thought about leaving Xingang, and he wouldn't have died.

Or if he hadn't met himself, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

While Xu Qingwan was thinking, the storage bag on her waist suddenly shook. She took out the array disk, pointed at it, and took the talisman into her hand.

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the house, Xu Qiyuan entered from the outside, saluted and said: "Grandma."

"You're here, what's the matter?" Xu Qingwan said expressionlessly.

"Did Uncle Tangning look for you just now?"

"how do you know?"

"I happened to meet Gu Yuanya, his apprentice, and saw her coming towards your cave, so I guessed that Master Tangning invited you over. I don't know why?"

"I'm going to work in the Palm Printing Department of Yuanyi Palace soon."

"Yuanyi Palace Palm Print Department? Why were you transferred there suddenly?"

"He was promoted to be the steward of Yuanyi Hall, and asked me to help him and be responsible for the financial restructuring of the sect."

"Restructuring? What restructuring?"

"The sect needs him to formulate a financial reform plan that can reduce expenses by two million a year, so I was transferred to help him complete this plan. Don't spread this matter."

Xu Qiyuan snorted coldly and said: "I knew it was definitely not a good thing. He didn't recommend you to be promoted to the deacon of the intelligence station at the beginning. Now that there is trouble, he asks you to help. This financial change is something that people will hate, and it will definitely offend you. Young man, you promised him?"

Xu Qingwan said: "It was I who proposed to work in Yuanyi Palace. I have been in charge of financial affairs in the intelligence station for so many years. Now I am transferred to Qianyizong. It is not a long-term way to stay at Yingxia Mountain. In addition, I was originally recommended by him to join the sect, and it is better to go to Yuanyi Palace with him than to be in Yingxia Mountain."

When Xu Qiyuan heard this, he felt envious and envious, and said, "He obviously roasted you on the fire pit. I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Is there anything else you dare not say?"

Xu Qiyuan said: "Actually, with your current cultivation level, there is no need to be attached to him anymore. Although you accepted his kindness in the early years, you have paid off for working hard all these years. Why bother to get involved in such things."

Xu Qingwan glanced at him: "Then what do you think I should do?"

"You don't need to get involved in this matter. If he asks you about your plan, just evade and don't know how to deal with it. Gradually reduce the contact with him, so that you can gradually get out of his control."

"Is this your idea? You have been doing this all these years, right! Do you want to completely sever ties with him and go to another school?"

Xu Qiyuan said: "I am not as highly valued by him as you are. As long as he does not investigate and suspect me in private, I will be grateful. Didn't you find out? He has always wanted to control you by his side. After he returned to the sect, he put You were transferred to the Zongmen, and after you were promoted to the Yuanyi Palace, you were transferred to the Yuanyi Palace, if I say something bold, he probably has other plans."

"What attempt?"

Xu Qiyuan lowered his head and said, "He, he covets your beauty and wants to completely possess you."

"Presumptuous." Xu Qingwan scolded.

"My nephew said something wrong, I hope my aunt will not be angry."

"You go! I'm going to rest."

"Yes." Xu Qiyuan glanced at her, a frenzy flashed in his eyes, he got up and left the room.

…………

In front of the Broken Ridge Mountain light curtain, a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a handsome man, it was Tangning.

He came all the way from the Luoyun Mountains to buy pills for his cultivation.

After stepping into the golden elixir realm, the spiritual power in his body has skyrocketed, more than ten times higher than when the foundation was established. Taking Xiaoyang Dan has no effect, and refining and absorbing a Xiaoyang elixir has greatly improved his spiritual power. It's so tiny, it's not enough to fit between the teeth!

Only the spiritual power contained in the third-order Huang Yuan Dan can meet his current spiritual power needs, and Huang Yuan Dan is only sold in Duanjishanfang City, including Xingang Sanxuanmen, no one has the ability to refine this level of pill.

Before that, he had been waiting for Peng Wanli to return to the sect and officially take office in the Yuanyi Hall, so he did not leave the sect in a hurry.

Now that the matter has been dealt with, he left the sect that night and traveled for several days to Broken Ridge Mountain.

　On the last day of 2020, I wish everyone a happy new year in advance.
