God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

After leaving Mo Changqing, Zhou Qiran's attitude became a little colder. It seemed that he couldn't understand why he, a cultivator at the eighth level of foundation building, had to take Pei Daoye, who was only at the first level of foundation building, to perform official duties.

And he served as his deputy.

This kind of treatment made it difficult for him not to feel a sense of crisis.

As a disciple who had been with Mo Changqing for more than 20 years, he naturally understood his master's temperament.

He wouldn't do such a thing lightly.

It's hard not to wonder whether the master's purpose in doing this is to criticize him.

"Brother Zhou, I wonder what our plans are going to be next?"

Pei Daoye looks like he is willing to work hard and never complain.

Zhou Qiran came back to his senses and looked at him, but he didn't act too aggressively. He smiled gently and said, "This time, the investigation is related to the reputation of our Xuanshan Sect. The two of us have a mission to fulfill, and we must not make mistakes in our duty of investigation."

"That's what senior brother said."

Pei Daoye bowed and saluted... after talking for so long, what was his plan?

Zhou Qiran paused for a moment and looked at Pei Daoye: "I wonder what the master has told you?"

Master?

You have to address people by their positions when you are outside.

Pei Daoye pretended not to know Zhou Qiran's hint and said blankly: "The dean said that this matter is led by you, brother. I am just helping out. I am a spiritual plant cultivator. The dean said that the Zhou family has a medicine garden and asked me to take a look."

Zhou Qiran looked at him suspiciously.

There are so many spiritual plants cultivating inside the mountain gate, do you have to go?
Seeing him like this.

Pei Daoye knew that Mo Changqing had never told this kid the truth.

It turns out he is just an outsider.

I don’t know as much as you do as a newcomer.

Zhou Qiran simply said "hmm", "We don't have time to return to the mountain gate this time. We have a temporary campsite and Master is not going, so Junior Brother and I will have to walk the rest of the way."

"Just... the two of us?"

Pei Daoye was stunned.

Zhou Qiran smiled and said, "Of course not."

He didn't explain much.

Flying all the way with Pei Daoye.

As if he was worried that Pei Daoye's cultivation was low, he simply took out his magic weapon and took Pei Daoye away with him.

In less than ten breaths, the two had arrived at a lush forest. As they got closer, they could vaguely see the edges and corners of the camp.

"Senior Brother Zhou."

A figure walked out of the bushes nearby and immediately stepped forward to greet him, but after seeing Pei Daoye, he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

Logically speaking, Zhou Qiran should introduce Pei Daoye's identity.

After all, in this group, Pei Daoye is the real deputy.

But he didn't do that.

He just told the visitor: "Let's gather together. There is new news from the Censorate."

"It's senior brother."

The man left quickly.

After Pei Daoye followed Zhou Qiran and walked a few steps forward, he sensed the aura of the formation.

He pretended not to know.

Fortunately, Zhou Qiran did not go too far. He stood in front of the formation and waved his hand to prevent Pei Daoye from being blocked outside.

Pei Daoye looked at it with some surprise.

Zhou Qiran seemed to have just done something casually and did not react at all.

However, this posture also made Pei Daoye sigh in his heart.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to have anything to do with me.

In this case, the so-called "cooperation" is nothing but a joke.

But that’s fine too.

If Li Siyi were to contact Mujie, it would not be convenient for Zhou Qiran to keep a close eye on them.

soon.

People appeared one after another.

The configuration of this team of thirty people is quite eye-catching.

The leader, Zhou Qiran, is a foundation-building master in the eighth heaven, and is only one step away from the golden elixir.

The three team leaders who followed also had cultivation at the seventh level.

Then there were a few foundation builders of the fifth and sixth heavens, and the rest were foundation builders of the first and second heavens.

Looking at it this way...

Pei Daoye's first level does not seem so abrupt.

When they heard that Pei Daoye was the deputy commander, everyone's eyes were filled with confusion, some even lost their voices and questioned loudly.

Zhou Qiran had no intention of scolding him. He just glanced at him and said calmly, "This is the deputy commander appointed by Dean Mo of the Inspection Office. Although Junior Brother Pei's cultivation is a little weak, he is good at spiritual plants. If you don't understand something, you can ask him."

So... a vase?
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Pei Daoye.

However, Pei Daoye didn't care at all. He smiled gently and nodded to everyone.

He knew that Zhou Qiran was just declaring his strong control over the team, and he had no objection to that.

He was originally parachuted here by Mo Changqing, so it was normal for him to have emotions.

He has a very calm mentality.

The only family to be investigated is the Zhou family.

Just find evidence of their betrayal of Xuanshanmen.

Zhou Qiran and several fellow disciples of the seventh level held a small group meeting. Pei Daoye sat on the side and listened quietly. No one disturbed him, so he was happy and at ease.

He paid more attention to the young man named Lin Jiutian outside the tent. It seemed that everyone would ask him to do some odd jobs, and he would do them honestly.

If it weren't for his extraordinary perception, he wouldn't have noticed that this person was hiding his aura.

spy?

Pei Daoye retracted his gaze.

Zhou Qiran quickly gave various instructions, showing his excellent work style. After doing all this, he left the tent directly, as if he had forgotten the existence of Pei Daoye, the deputy commander.

This is telling everyone invisibly that Pei Daoye is not the same kind of person as himself, and you must be aware of this when you come into contact with him.

After Zhou Qiran left decisively, the people in the tent looked at each other and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

There are many ways to not give face, but Zhou Qiran chose the most extreme one.

Pei Daoye sat there, waiting for everyone to leave, and then smiled playfully.

This Zhou Qiran's vision is still too low.

No matter what his relationship with Mo Changqing is, at least he will not be a threat.

The investigation into the attack itself had little to do with him.

He actually doesn't care what the results of the investigation are.

Shake his head.

I don't care.

Pei Daoye saw the message sent by the sound transmission note.

Brother Li and Sister Mu already knew where he was going next, so they decided to deal with things here as soon as possible and go to the northwest to meet Pei Daoye.

One in the light and one in the dark, cooperating with each other.

Of course, for Brother Li and Sister Mu... Zhou Qiran and the like are not worthy of their attention. If they are in the way, they will just kill them.

Everyone is ready.

There are three cloud-breaking ships in total.

All the members of the Poyun ship where Zhou Qiran was were elites.

There is no extra space.

So Pei Daoye was naturally arranged to sit on the same Poyun boat with the man named Lin Jiutian.

"Meet Senior Brother Pei."

Lin Jiutian was very polite. Pei Daoye was very surprised: "You came in later than me, right? Why are you calling me Senior Brother?"

"Calculating the time, I am indeed two days later than you." Lin Jiutian also smiled and wanted to pour tea for Pei Daoye, but was stopped by him.

"No, thanks."

Pei Daoye smiled and saw that the others were busy studying the blueprints, so he casually said to Lin Jiutian: "How long have you been in this team, Junior Brother Lin?"

"More than a year." Lin Jiutian replied with a smile, very honest.

"More than a year?"

Pei Daoye was stunned.

He thought this team was formed temporarily.

I didn't expect it has taken so long to be established.

Thinking that Zhou Qiran was Mo Changqing's apprentice, he felt relieved.

He smiled and asked casually, "So you guys are following Senior Brother Zhou all over the world? And you don't even have a place to stay?"

"It's not hard at all. The dean said that we are the sharp knife of Xuanshanmen. We will stab wherever the mountain gate needs us to stab."

Lin Jiutian's decisive words made Pei Daoye look strange.

Is this guy pretending to be me?

still is……

He turned his gaze away calmly.

Lin Jiutian suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Pei, have you offended anyone? Otherwise, why don't you stay at the mountain gate?"

Pei Daoye looked normal, looked at him and said with a smile: "As a disciple of Xuanshan Sect, I am just a brick. I can be moved wherever I am needed. There is no such thing as offending anyone."

Lin Jiutian was stunned: "So, Senior Brother and I are from the same sect?"

Pei Daoye glanced at him sideways, smiled and said nothing.

The Poyun ship headed to the northwest of Zhongzhou.

high speed.

It was just around noon when we set out, but we arrived before evening.

The city where the Zhou family lived was called Shangchu.

Although it is located in the northwest of Zhongzhou, its level of prosperity is by no means comparable to Tianxiang City.

along the way.

Pei Daoye also obtained a lot of information about the Zhou family in Shangchu City from Lin Jiutian.

As the largest family in Shangchu City, the Zhou family is undoubtedly powerful, but it has also experienced a lot in the past hundred years.

According to what Lin Jiutian said, the Zhou family almost suffered a devastating disaster at one point.

If the old patriarch of the Zhou family had not personally gone to Xuanshan Gate to apologize and received support, there might not be any Zhou family.

"In addition to the Zhou family, there are also the Xu family, the Wang family, and the Shi family in Upper Chu City... The Zhou family is the only one left, while the Xu family, the Wang family, and the Shi family are the three main families."

Lin Jiutian lowered his voice. Although he had not known Pei Daoye for long, he was willing to tell Pei Daoye everything he knew. As long as Pei Daoye asked him, he would tell him everything he knew.

"Shangchu City is not big, but it is not small either. But with the title of a medicine garden, this big guy is of course full of food..."

Pei Daoye listened to Lin Jiutian's whispers thoughtfully.

He already knew something about the situation in Shangchu City through Mo Changqing.

When he learned that Shangchu City relied on medicinal herbs as the local supporting industry, he realized that this city, which seemed more prosperous than Tianxiang City, was actually more fragile.

It is difficult to explain natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Once something irreversible happens, the medicinal materials business will definitely suffer a major blow, and the herbal farmers who rely on medicinal materials for their livelihood will also be affected accordingly.

In this situation.

Naturally, the gentry will have more initiative.

Pei Daoye looked around calmly.

This is why, as soon as he arrived in Shangchu City, he already felt a hidden malice in the dark, and countless eyes with inexplicable meanings were constantly scrutinizing them.

He pretended not to sense anything and followed the crowd.

The group immediately checked into the inn.

Pei Daoye lived in the inner room on the second floor. He had no objection. He walked into the room and soon saw Lin Jiutian following a young man in blue clothes with a lot of books in his arms.

The young man in blue saw Pei Daoye and forced a smile and said, "Junior Brother Pei, we have too many materials over there, so we can only pile them here for the time being. Junior Brother Pei, please don't mind."

"It doesn't matter."

Pei Daoye was too lazy to ask the other party why he didn't put it in the storage bag. He sat on the chair, watching the other party with an amusement on his face as he instructed Lin Jiutian to put the things down and then turned and left.

Lin Jiutian was at a loss. After the young man in blue left, he came to Pei Daoye hesitantly and said, "Brother Pei, don't be angry."

"Why am I angry?"

Pei Daoye raised his eyes and looked at him with an amused look.

Lin Jiutian hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He scratched his head and said, "Hey, I think too much. Brother, you are busy, so I am sorry to bother you."

He was about to leave but was stopped by Pei Daoye.

"Are you in a hurry to leave? Sit down for a while. This is the tea I brought from South China..."

Pei Daoye seemed very easy-going. He took out a bag of spiritual tea from his storage bag and asked Lin Jiutian to sit down for a while.

"Brother, I still have things to do..."

Lin Jiutian was a little embarrassed.

Pei Daoye looked at him dimly without saying a word.

Lin Jiutian's expression changed slightly immediately, and he walked over with a smile: "I am busy, but since Senior Brother Pei has said so, I will respectfully obey your orders."

The smile on Pei Daoye's face bloomed again.

Although he was sidelined by Zhou Qiran, he still had the Imperial Sword given to him by Mo Changqing, a giant in the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Pei."

Lin Jiutian took the teacup from Pei Daoye with both hands, his face full of smiles.

"Relax, we're just chatting." Pei Daoye smiled casually.

What made Lin Jiutian feel relieved was that Pei Daoye didn't ask him to do anything, they were just chatting. He drank his tea guiltily and kept looking at Pei Daoye.

When Pei Daoye let him go, he was still puzzled and didn't understand why. Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly saw a figure standing in the corridor. His facial muscles twitched: "Master... Senior Brother."

The man glanced at Pei Daoye's room expressionlessly, and then said to Lin Jiutian calmly: "I've been looking for you for a long time, are you still going to complete the mission? Come with me."

"Yes, it's Brother."

Lin Jiutian didn't dare to resist at all.

Ten meters away.

Pei Daoye sat in the room with a normal look on his face, not taking the strange atmosphere of the team to heart.

He usually doesn't go out unless he has nothing to do.

Lin Jiutian came over at a specific location.

Just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

under night.

Zhou Qiran was sitting in the room annotating intelligence.

When the newcomer appeared, his eyes were like lightning: "What did the Zhou family say?"

“Still hesitating.”

The visitor looked hesitant.

Zhou Qiran narrowed his eyes, murderous intent boiling: "They are playing with fire!"

"Senior Brother Zhou, do you want to notify the mountain gate and put some pressure on the Zhou family?" the visitor asked in a low voice.

Zhou Qiran glanced over.

The man immediately laughed awkwardly and shrank his neck, knowing that he had said something wrong: "Brother, that's not what I meant, I..."

"go out."

Zhou Qiran was too lazy to waste any more time talking to him.

But when the man was about to leave, he suddenly asked again: "What has he been doing recently?"

"he?"

The man was stunned and couldn't react at first. (End of this chapter)
