Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 167: The gap between the
Kang Dabao was suddenly startled when he heard this. Seeing that Tie Xishan's eyes were still warm in the hall, and the gazes from his colleagues around him came one after another, he felt like a thorn in his back.

I don't know whether the provincial government did this to hang itself on the golden platform like a horse's skeleton, or to roast itself on the fire.

"Perhaps this can be considered as Earl Nan'an showing goodwill to Uncle Heilu?" Kang Dabao did not feel very happy.

Continuing to be the mayor of Chongming Market is naturally a lucrative job, but after that he will be making money for the Xian Dynasty and will easily become a target of criticism from local forces.

The earnings may not be much more than before, but the risks involved are totally different from before. This made the head of Kang Da sigh in his heart, "This is fucking!"

"Why don't you congratulate County Captain Kang?" Seeing that the cultivators in the field did not express anything, Tie Liuyun raised his voice and said in an dissatisfied tone.

"Congratulations, County Lieutenant Kang!"

"How lucky the county lieutenant is!"

"Master favors me, I have a bright future!"

With Kang Dabao's experience, he could naturally tell that there was some inconsistency and sarcasm in these words, but there was no real congratulations.

Even in the mouth of Tie Xishan, a colleague who was quite familiar with him, there was a hint of jealousy.

After Tie Liuyun succinctly stated these four points, the meeting of the thirteen county officials from Yunjiao Prefecture came to an end without even a banquet being arranged.

After the meeting, Tie Liuyun didn't have much to say to Kang Dabao. He just reminded him to do his best and not let down the cultivation of Nan'an Bo.

Naturally, Sect Leader Kang could only nod his head. The situation in Yunjiao Province was becoming increasingly muddy, and he was a little undecided. If he chose the wrong side, his family might be ruined.

This matter is of huge importance, so I think I should go back early to discuss it with Taoist Heilu.

After leaving the main hall of the county government and calling Jiang Qing to board the flying boat, Kang Dabao was too lazy to even go back to the official temple, and headed towards Chongmingzong with a worried look on his face.

-

"Oh, did you see my brother-in-law a few days ago?" Fei Shuhe had just come out of seclusion. After a month of seclusion, he broke through the seventh level of Qi training and was once again at the same level as the head of Kangda.

But she is nearly 20 years younger than the latter, so their futures cannot be compared.

For noble ladies like her, resources are prepared for every step. Even if her aptitude, character, and diligence are mediocre, there is still a chance that she can follow the steps and smoothly get to the Qingye Foundation.

This fate is completely different from that of the low-level independent cultivators who have to rely on burning, killing, looting, cheating and deceiving to obtain even a piece of spiritual land that absorbs spiritual energy.

At this time, Fei Shuhe was in a good mood, teasing a little bird that was resting on his finger. The little bird was just an ordinary bird, but it could speak human language.

Fei Shuhe would feed it one or two grains of magic rice from time to time, and it would flap its wings with joy and keep calling "Congratulations, congratulations".

"Mammy said that my son-in-law's cultivation has improved again. Although it is slow, his foundation is solid. It is possible that his hope of building a foundation is greater than that of several guards and instructors in our courtyard." Yu'er, the oldest of the personal maids, answered again.

"Oh, so that's it." Fei Shuhe nodded slightly, not seeming to care too much.

She was born in a noble family, and among the elders she was close to, there were many Jindan and Jiadan. Fei Shuhe didn't care much about the small changes in Kang Dabao, her nominal husband, because she didn't care about the bird in front of her.

"Is there any news from home?" Fei Shuhe gently raised his finger and drove the bird to the head of the maid beside him, letting her play.

"Miss, there has been no news from home this month. Madam Sun did ask some people she knows, and put them all here." Yu'er presented another jade slip. Fei Shuhe lost the mood to check it after hearing what Yu'er said. "Now there is no news from home, do you still need to trouble Madam Sun to ask?" Fei Shuhe felt a thorn in his heart, shook his head at Yu'er, and said lightly: "Don't read it for now, wait for Madam to come back and tell me."

"Yes." The maids all grew up with Fei Shuhe, so they could naturally hear the unhappiness in the young lady's tone, so they all responded with yes and said no more.

At this time, Nanny Sun also heard the news that Fei Shuhe had come out of seclusion and came to pay a visit. The latter invited the former to have tea and asked about the recent situation of the Fei family.

Nanny Sun seemed to have noticed that her young lady was not as happy as she should be after a breakthrough, but she did not just talk about the pleasing news.

"Miss, there are several important events in the clan now. First, Sima sent a letter to the family last month, saying that Nan'an Earl is still short of manpower, and the halls can send some more young men to come here to make contributions. Elder Ye Xu also felt that Sima's words made sense, but the young men in the family felt that Yunjiaozhou was remote and wild, and few responded, which made Sima very unhappy.

Second, the elder Nanxi of the Xishui Hall has achieved the third level of elixir cultivation and has achieved the genuine golden elixir. In this way, our Fei family has 16 golden elixir masters in the world. The old family in Yingzhou has sent a message to Sima that the golden elixir ceremony will be held in Yingzhou at the beginning of next month. If he has time, he can go back to meet his brother.

Third, Miss Yonglian of Wushan Hall has set a wedding date, which is half a year later. Her husband's family is the Han family of Ji County, and her husband is the grandson of Han Canjun, the Jinzi Guanglu doctor and the general manager of the Jingji Province, Bingye Zhuji. "

When Fei Shuhe heard the news, he could no longer sit still. He left everyone with a cold face and walked out of the house, leaving the maids in silence.

"Madam, you are right. You know that the young lady cannot bear to hear that any legitimate daughter married better than her, so why do you still tell her these news?" Seeing that Fei Shuhe had not returned for a long time, Yu'er could not help but speak to Madam Sun.

The latter just turned her head slightly when she heard this, without saying anything, Yu'er was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground: "Madam, please forgive me, I am used to speaking without restraint, and I said something wrong at the moment."

"You know you are outspoken but you still don't control your mouth. I have nothing to say. But if someone with a small heart hears it one day, do you want to be beaten to death or sold to those cheap brothels?" Nanny Sun said this sinisterly, and the other three maids were so scared that they bowed down as well.

Nanny Sun ignored these ladies and stood up to chase in the direction Fei Shuhe left.

Fei Shuhe's face was as gloomy as water at this time. Although she lost her father at a young age and had no parental protection, she was raised by her biological uncle Fei Nan'ao.

The Fei Nan'an branch only had one golden elixir three generations ago, and now there are nearly ten fake elixir still in the world. In terms of appearance, it is not very prominent among the direct branches of the Fei family.

However, Fei Shuhe's biological father Fei Nancheng and uncle Fei Nan'ao are both the most outstanding figures among the Fei family's generation. They have repeatedly performed well in front of the Fei family's head, Patriarch Ye Xun, and have become the golden elixir seeds of the Fei family. This has made Fei Shuhe's status rise as well, and now she is one of the most prominent daughters in the direct lineage.

To be honest, in terms of her origin, family background, appearance, and qualifications, how could she not compare to Fei Yonglian of Wushan Hall?

However, it was the latter who married into a wealthy family, held a noble position, and could rely on her husband's family to obtain imperial decrees in the future, while she herself could hardly receive any news and was about to be abandoned by her family and die of old age in this remote border state.

It is difficult for anyone to understand such a gap.

At this time, Nanny Sun walked to Fei Shuhe holding a cane and advised slowly, "Young lady, you are of noble status. Even if you are in trouble for a while, you should not give up on yourself. You have hated practicing since you were a child. If you could marry into a wealthy family smoothly and rely on your husband's family to gain a lifetime of nobility, that would be fine. But young lady has a bad fate and was involved in the calculations of the Earl of Nan'an. You can't rely on your husband's family to seek respectability, so you can only rely on yourself."

Fei Shuhe still didn't say anything, and Nanny Sun continued, "Miss Yaqing is very close to you. She is only 28 years old, but she has already reached the middle stage of foundation building. Her marriage is not something Sima can decide, and even Patriarch Ye Xun can't interfere. If you work hard and form a golden elixir, even if it's a fake one, it won't be difficult for you to break free from the shackles on your body."

"Oh, that's right, Madam." Fei Shuhe sighed, but cultivation is not that easy. Yaqing is the only daughter of Uncle Fei Nan'an, the real apple of his eye.

My uncle said that he treated me as his own daughter, but I am, after all, an orphan who has lost his father and lives under the care of others. How could my spiritual practice be compared with that of this cousin?

If you practice diligently and attentively, and do not have sufficient resources, how much benefit can you get in the process of forming the Dan?
"Yaqing. Yes, why didn't uncle bring Yaqing to Yunjiaozhou?" Fei Shuhe unconsciously felt a little resentful in his heart, and turned to Madam Sun and said, "Madam, let's go out and relax and get some fresh air."
