Shangyuque

Chapter 8 Who are the some people you are talking about? Could you please explain it clearly?

The spring rain was as fine as hair all night. When Yulou walked out of the room, the fresh air hit his face.

"You are Master Yulou, right?"

Yesterday, the female waitress was drawing water from the spiritual well in the backyard of Fuyuanju. When she saw Yulou coming out, she greeted him timidly.

"Yes, Yu'an and I will bother you more in the future. What is your name, fellow Daoist?" Yulou asked with a smile.

"Bai Lu, you are the noble sons of the Wang family, so it's not a bother to you. I'll bring some water to the front first, and then get some water for you to wash your faces."

The female cultivator named Bai Lu picked up the bucket and replied nervously with her head down.

"No, I won't bother you with this little thing. But...are you employed by Fuyuanju, or are you considered Wang's non-official descendants?"

Yuloudan knew that the Wang family would send children with less qualifications to work in different external industries of the family. He was not sure whether this female cultivator named Bailu was from the Wang family.

"This"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, as if Yu Lou’s question was difficult to answer.

"Why? Is there something you can't explain?"

Seeing Yulou frowning slightly, Bailu hurriedly replied like a frightened little animal.

"I was picked up by Uncle Tang, and I acknowledged him as my godfather. Because I was picked up during the Bailu season, I was named Bailu, and I am not considered a member of the Wang family with a different surname.

I am just doing what I can to repay Uncle Tang, and I am not considered a member of Fuyuanju."

Wow, Yulou didn't expect that his casual question would lead to such a big secret.

Tang Nianqiu adopted a goddaughter, who, out of gratitude for her adoptive father's care, worked for Fuyuanju for free. This sounded like nothing wrong.

According to the development in the storytelling, Bai Lu might have another romantic affair with Wang's disciples like Yulou and Yu'an.

but.
The difference between four ounces and a thousand pounds is sometimes just a matter of whether it is weighed or not.

If Bai Lu is Tang Nianqiu's goddaughter, then she should return to the Wang family as a member of the Wang family outside the family to receive training in the Qi-Inducing Period, and then be sent to where she should go under the unified arrangement model of the Wang family.

If Bai Lu is a casual cultivator hired by Fuyuanju in Qingxifang, then she should be employed by Fuyuanju and should receive some spirit stones on a regular basis - Wang Shi will check Tang Nianqiu's account book!
Bai Lu obviously didn't understand the ins and outs of this, and accidentally revealed that Tang Nianqiu was using his marriage as an excuse to get a salary without doing anything!
"Do what you can. So, how many spirit stones do you get paid every year?"

Yulou suppressed the turmoil in her heart and asked gently.

As a goddaughter in name only and an illegal worker in reality, Tang Nianqiu had never told her about the management model of Wang's external industries.

So, the silly girl replied directly.

“Regardless of whether I am rewarded or not, I am only at the fourth level of Qi Induction now. We casual cultivators are lucky to have a place to practice in peace.

I am helping out at Fuyuanju just to repay my godfather's kindness. Master Yulou, I must quickly deliver the spiritual water to the front."

After taking a look at Bai Lu's back, Yulou felt a little uneasy.

Old Tang, Old Tang, Uncle Rong Yuan said you are reliable just two days ago.

In the blink of an eye, I caught you, old man.

Taking advantage of Wang's trust and reliance on you to make small moves in Wang's industry is no small matter.

The reason why the name of the Wang family of Anbei Kingdom was preceded by the word Anbei Kingdom was because the Wang family of immortals had been passed down for thousands of years and had also run a dynasty in the mortal world - the Anbei Kingdom.

If the Wang family is viewed as a kingdom composed of immortal cultivators, then Tang Nianqiu's behavior is like a governor transforming himself into a military governor, and a military governor who secretly raises assassins and private soldiers with the help of the Wang family's spiritual stones!
You are just an outsider, how dare you secretly collect empty salaries?

No, it’s not necessarily empty salary. What if Bai Lu was not included in Tang Nianqiu’s account book?

If he treated Bai Lu as a hired casual cultivator and paid him spirit stones from the account book, then he would be considered as drawing a salary without doing anything.

Standing at the door, Yulou fell into deep thought.

Should we investigate? If so, where should we start?
Forget it, just be low-key, practice well first, and then talk about these things when you achieve Qi Refining.

The secret struggle between the direct line of the family and those outside the family is something that the clan leader has to consider. Yulou does not think that his age in two lifetimes combined, which is less than fifty years, can be taller than those clan elders who are over a hundred years old.

What's more, above the Wang family there is a patriarch in the foundation-building stage, so if the sky falls, there are foundation-building ancestors to hold it up!

Speaking of which, the clan leader and Yu'an's father, the elder Rong Wen, will be coming to Qingxifang soon.
-
“Hehe, some people are just favored and can eat spiritual rice in the Qi Induction Stage. Alas, poor me, Wang Yu’an, who also has dual spiritual roots and better aptitude than some people, but I don’t have spiritual rice to eat.”

Yu'an hummed as she ate her ordinary breakfast, without any of the open-mindedness she had last night.

Yulou was also speechless. He looked at the spiritual rice in the bowl, then looked at Yu'an, and said.

"Then let's split it in half."

Yulou: Who are the people you are talking about? Could you please explain it in detail?
Does Yu'an want spiritual rice?

No, he just wanted to say something bad about Yulou!

"No, this is Uncle Rong Yuan's earnest expectation for you, how dare I eat it?
Yulou, you must practice hard and build a foundation as soon as possible to create a new sky for the Wang family.

Don’t let this half pound of spiritual rice down, and don’t let Uncle Rong Yuan down for his expectations of you.

You, do you know?"

Yu'an shook his head and ears and acted like a senior, which made Yulou angry.

You say he is bad, he just wants to take advantage of others with his words.

You say he is not a bad person, but his look of taking advantage of others is really hateful.

"I have spiritual stones, so why can't I stay in a hotel? Is this how you do business at Fuyuanju?"

A noisy sound was heard, drawing Yulou's attention over there.

At the counter in the lobby of Fuyuanju, Bai Lu was explaining anxiously to several casual practitioners.

“My fellow Taoists, we at Fuyuanju have been open for business for decades. Normally, we charge three spirit stones for a month’s stay, and we are fair to everyone. But now the situation is different.

The branch of the Hongdengzhao Hall of Merit was about to arrive at Qingxifang, because the garrison monk had just collected a sum of money for this matter.

We recently raised our prices out of helplessness. If we don’t raise our prices, we will be closed soon!”

Bai Lu grew up in Fuyuanju. After so many years of experience in dealing with people, she knows how to divert conflicts.

Fellow Daoist, we don't want to raise the price either. It's all because of that corrupt monk on duty!
If you have any opinions, go and report them to the monk on duty!

Anyway, Gao Jian, Jiang Baobian and others would not cause trouble for Fuyuanju because of such words - they did collect Qi Xin's fees, and not a small amount!
"Okay, I understand that you're raising the price, but I've already lived here for half a month. Can't I just renew the deal for another half a month at the original price?"

The casual cultivators who were causing trouble knew that those who could open a shop in Qingxifang were not ordinary people, so they did not dare to cause trouble.

His request was just to continue to renew the room at the price before the price increase, nothing more.

"I can't make the decision. How about you wait until the red light shows that the Hall of Merit has left before coming back?
By then, our prices will definitely return to their original levels.”

You don't have money but still want to stay in a hotel? That's a nice thought!

Bailu was polite to Yulou and nervous when talking to Yulou because Yulou was the unicorn son of the Wang family.

After having his spiritual roots tested, he was escorted directly to Qingxifang by the elders of the Rongyuan family. He paid a large sum of money to become a disciple of the Red Eyebrow Monk, who was on friendly terms with the guarding monk Jiang Baobian.

If this isn’t Qilinzi, then what else could it be?
The low-level monks who work like slaves for the sect?

joke!

The resources that the direct descendants of the Wang family get before they build their foundation are much better than those of the red-lit disciples of the sect!

Bai Lu would naturally not give face to the independent cultivators who wanted to take advantage of him.

At this time, the waiter who went to inform Tang Nianqiu came back. He lifted the curtain of the back door of the lobby, and Tang Nianqiu, a Qi-cultivating monk dressed in a purple robe, walked out with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Qigong practitioners all have spiritual awareness. The first thing Old Tang did was to nod in the direction where Yu Lou was sitting, as a greeting.

Then, he looked at the casual cultivator at the counter and spoke in a deep voice.

"You are the ones causing trouble?"
