Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 571 Spokesperson

A few months passed by, and the production capacity expansion plan launched by the sect was proceeding in an orderly manner. A group of disciples who had neither interest nor talent had been preliminarily eliminated, so that they could return to their departments and engage in their own duties.

On this day, Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the cave and was practicing with her eyes closed, when there was a knock on the door outside, Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and entered, bowed and said, "Master Uncle, Master Xu Qingwan from the Palm Printing Department please see me."

"Please come in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng responded and left.

"Oh, by the way, is Xu Qiyuan still learning alchemy skills with your father?"

"Yes, father said that he worked very hard. These days, he basically stayed in the room from morning to night. Father gave him his own special alchemy room, and he would always spare some time every day to guide him for a while."

Tangning nodded, without further words, Mu Tiancheng withdrew.

Not long after, Xu Qingwan entered from the outside, saluted and sat down.She found a file in her hand: "This is the list of disciples we have decided to eliminate after discussion."

Tangning took it and took a look. The densely packed disciples' names were neatly arranged on the file. There were a total of [-] names. This was already the last batch of disciples to be eliminated, and the rest had to be cultivated.

"Before we eliminate them, first ask if anyone is interested in studying here. If so, stay. Talent almost doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to spend time, it's only a matter of time before you reach the level of Qi Condensation Pill."

"Okay." Xu Qingwan nodded in response.

"I've worked hard for you during this time. I will discuss with the head teacher tomorrow to raise your salary by one level and enjoy the salary of a deacon of the sect."

"This... I'm afraid someone will gossip!" Xu Qingwan hesitated. Of course, she hoped to improve her salary, but in this way, there were no rumors spreading outside.

Tangning smiled and said, "You still care about other people's gossip! I thought you'd already gotten used to it."

"Then, thank you very much."

"Don't be too busy thanking me. It's not sure whether this matter can be done. I have to discuss it with the head teacher first. If he doesn't agree, I can't raise your salary without permission."

"I know, thank you for your kindness, and I will take my leave first."

Tang Ning nodded, Xu Qingwan got up and left the room, there was a clear and crisp shout from outside, and then a slim figure walked in from outside, calling out Master.

"Having been sneaking around outside, eavesdropping on what?" Tangning asked with a smile.

"I didn't eavesdrop! I came to see the master. It was Brother Mu who said that the master was talking to Aunt Xu, so I waited outside."

"Tell me! What's the matter? You didn't come here specially to see me as a teacher!"

"Master, let me tell you something, don't be angry. My third brother likes a junior sister named Shangguan Yan'er in the Fulu Division, but the other party is not willing to accept him. Master, can you make the decision and go for him? Proposing marriage with Shangguan Yan'er?"

"Nonsense, what's the matter with me going? Besides, this matter is mainly about mutual affection. The girl doesn't like your third brother, so why bother to force others? If I go to propose marriage to him, wouldn't it be oppressive? You child It's becoming more and more inappropriate to speak and act," Tangning reprimanded with a slight frown.

Gu Yuanya lowered her head, looking very pitiful as a child who wanted to do something wrong.

Seeing this, Tang Ning's heart softened again, and she said, "If the girl doesn't accept him, he has to find a way to please her. What's the use of relying on others? If one day, a dude likes you, What if I use this method to force you? Are you willing?"

Gu Yuanya said softly: "But my third brother really likes her, he told me several times, I have no choice but to beg the master, I told you not to be angry!"

"Okay, I'm such an old man, I'm going to cry every now and then, what does it look like, if I want to show it to others, I won't laugh at you."

"Master is talking nonsense, so I didn't cry!" Gu Yuanya raised her head and smiled, "Master, my third brother wants to transfer to the Talisman Section, is that okay?"

"Well! You can think about it. Isn't the sect organizing disciples to learn the skills of alchemy, qi refining and talisman formation now? Let your third brother learn talisman making. I promise not to eliminate him. As long as he is willing to put his mind to it, then If he is successful in his studies, he will be directly transferred to the Talisman Division."

"Master, Shangguan Yan'er of the Talisman Section will also have to teach and teach the art of making talismans. Can you arrange for my third brother to learn from her! At least I can have more contact opportunities!"

"You can go to Xu Qingwan directly for these matters and let her handle them. You can't let me handle everything myself!"

"Thank you, Master." Gu Yuanya said joyfully, the lovely and pitiful appearance just now had already drifted away: "Master, what did you talk about with Aunt Xu just now!"

"Didn't you hear it just now when you were lying outside the door?"

"I didn't hear the whole thing! Are you going to raise Aunt Xu's salary?" Gu Yuanya looked at him with strange eyes.

"What's the problem?"

"Master, I ask you a question, don't be angry anymore."

Tangning smiled and said, "Do I dare to be angry with you?"

Gu Yuanya grinned: "Master, you are so kind to Aunt Xu, do you have other plans?"

"What nonsense? Why don't you have any plans?"

Gu Yuanya said: "Isn't this something that can be seen at a glance? When you were at the intelligence station, she was also at the intelligence station. You returned to the Zongmen and transferred her to the Zongmen. Transfer her to Yuanyi Palace again."

"You are not related to her, and she is neither your disciple nor your sister's niece. Why do you always arrange her by your side?"

"You don't treat your disciples so well! You still dislike me and want me to go to the inspectorate and let me live outside alone. If you say that you have no conspiracy, who will believe it?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Then tell me, what are my plans?"

"The person you picture...you picture her, you love her in your heart, but you don't know if she is willing, so you always keep her by your side."

Tangning smiled without saying a word.

"If you don't say it, it's acquiescing, master, do you want me to talk to Aunt Xu for you, and ask her if she would like to be my little mistress?"

"Stop messing around, I see you! You have been idle for too long. You have nothing to do all day, and you don't practice. You are thinking about these messy things. If you are okay, it is good to learn the art of pills from Wei Shi , it might come in handy in the future.”

Gu Yuanya smiled and said, "Master is guilty."

"What's wrong with being a teacher?"

"Then why are you so kind to Aunt Xu, and why did you specifically raise her salary?"

"You children don't understand these things. When you get older, or after you have established your foundation and take control of the affairs of the sect, you will naturally understand."

"Then tell me! Why on earth? If you don't say it, you are guilty. You are the one who plotted against her."

Tangning smiled and said, "This is the way of employing people. There is a lot of knowledge in this! It can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences."

"Let's put it simply! Why did I transfer her from the Intelligence Department to the Palm Printing Department? I have to hire someone! From the Secret Court to the Yuanyi Palace, I am not familiar with the place. Although I have the name of a manager, the following How many of those deacon supervisors listen to me?"

"Which one of them has no background behind them and no high-level support? These people all hold the financial power of the sect. No matter what they want to do, it is impossible to bypass them, even me."

"To put it bluntly, even if you want to take a stone from the sect, you have to discuss it with them."

"Don't look at them every time they see me, call me uncle, bow and salute, they seem to be very respectful, but in fact they may not take me seriously in their hearts. If they don't touch their own interests It's a good thing, if it touches their interests, they won't bow to me."

"At that time, I went to talk to them, but no one listened, and the order couldn't be passed on at all. It wasn't their face that was lost, but mine."

"So I need a spokesperson, a microphone, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, and can also add a barrier to me to avoid some positive conflicts."

"Who in the sect is more suitable than Xu Qingwan? She was promoted to the sect by me, and she is an old acquaintance with me. She has no other faction roots in the sect, plus her own wishes, That's why I transferred her to the palm print department."

"Everyone in the sect now knows that she is someone I value and trust. She is also responsible for my implementation of the sect's financial reform. Everyone is watching."

"If I don't give her some actual fame and benefits, what will others think? What will they think?"

"I don't even fight for the interests of such a highly valued and trusted person. Who else in the sect will do things for me wholeheartedly?"

"Speaking so much, you should understand! There's a deep door here!"

After listening to Gu Yuanya, she seemed to understand and nodded: "So, master, you didn't strongly recommend Aunt Xu to be promoted to the deacon of the intelligence station, but you made such a plan! You have long wanted to transfer her to Yuanyi Dian, will you be your spokesperson?"

Tangning shook her head and said, "These are two different things. I don't recommend her as the deacon of the intelligence station for another reason."

"Then what's the reason? Aunt Xu has the highest cultivation level, why can't she recommend it?"

Tang Ning said, "She is not a direct disciple trained by the sect. The senior sect doesn't trust her, and the intelligence department is a very important position. Naturally, she is not a deacon. This is an objective reason. Besides! She is not suitable for this position. .”
