Hidden moth

Chapter 205 The Plum Blossom Fairy is Kind

The name Mei Guyu was unlikely to be heard by ordinary disciples of the sect, including high-level sorcerers like Qian Guran. The information on disciples of the sect that Jiang Daozhen provided to He Kao did not include any information on elder-level sorcerers.

Many disciples of the magic sect only know that the current head of the Danding Sect and the elder of the Zongfa Hall is surnamed Mei and is known as the Plum Blossom Fairy. That's all. They don't even know whether she is a man or a woman or how old she is.

He Kao had an impression of this name because Elder Jiang had mentioned it privately in the case of Zeng Hongye and Wu Yanjun after the Spring Festival this year... Now looking back, he wondered if Elder Jiang did it on purpose.

Mei Guyu was the youngest of the seven elders of the Shu Sect, a generation younger than the other six. If we were to go by seniority, Qian Gu would probably have to call her "Junior Sister."

But Old Qian probably didn't dare to call him that, so he had to respectfully call him Elder Mei.

Five years ago, Qi Nansheng, the elder of Danding Sect, resigned from his position as elder due to his advanced age and the desire to cultivate in seclusion in the hope of achieving a breakthrough to the seventh level in his lifetime...

This was the public statement made by the Zongfa Hall, but in fact he was scolded away by Ye Fenghuang, the elder of Guanshen Sect.

When Qi Nansheng resigned, only Mei Guyu was qualified to succeed him as Elder in Danding Sect. Mei Guyu, a young sixth-rank alchemist, was a foremost genius among the sect's younger generation.

Qian had never known Elder Mei's name or age. After she became an elder in the clan's patriarchal hall, her personal information became a secret within the sect.

Qian Guran recently obtained the application materials of the new employee and looked at the copy of his ID card. He then learned that Elder Mei’s name was Mei Guyu, and he was 26 years old this year, the same age as He Kao.

As for whether the information is true, Qian is not sure, but this is the name anyway.

Let me add a few more words. Ye Fenghuang's original name was Ye Qi. No one else knew it except a few close people and the upper echelons of the sect.

The surnames of the two elders, Jiang Daozhen and Li Xiuyuan, are real. As for "Daozhen" and "Xiuyuan", they are actually Buddhist names given to them later. Although they are not fake, they are not their original names in the secular world.

The three elders, Zong Zheng, Gu Chun and Kang Rulin, actually use their original names in the sect.

It was said that Mei Guyu was a Taoist enthusiast whose only hobby was to practice magic, with no interest in other trivial matters. Therefore, after she became an elder of the clan law hall, the affairs of the Danding Sect were controlled by three deacons, including Wan Zhongle.

Mei Guyu spent most of her time practicing in the Xianhu Cave. More than two years ago, she simply announced to the public that she had been in seclusion in the cave, reportedly to comprehend how to break through to the seventh level.

Mei Guyu came out of seclusion not because she had broken through to the seventh level. If you force it, she was provoked by He Kao.

In the first month of this year, He Kao rescued Wu Yanjun in the snowy forests of the northeastern border, captured Zeng Hongye, a sorcerer from the Xingshen Sect who was tracking Wu Yanjun, and secretly informed Elder Li Xiuyuan.

Gu Chun rushed to the outer kingdom of Maoluo to interrogate and punish Zeng Hongye, who had been apprehended by He Kao. The clan law hall's investigation revealed that the case unexpectedly implicated Qi Nansheng, the supreme elder of the Danding Sect.

Although Qi Nansheng was involved in this incident, he was not directly responsible. The real mastermind behind the incident was Qi Nansheng's disciple, the former deacon of Dan Ding Sect, and a fifth-level cultivator named Yu Pingzhou.

The specific process of the incident was as follows: Wan Zhongle once took the copy of "Tan Xian Holding a Cane" made by Zhang Yanfei and found Qi Nansheng to ask him to authenticate it.

Qi Nansheng identified this as a fake and ordered Yu Pingzhou to find the real thing.

There was nothing wrong with the order itself, but the way Yu Pingzhou found the authentic artifact was problematic. He instructed Zeng Hongye to set up a trap to frame Wu Yanjun, claiming that Wu Yanjun had fled for fear of punishment.

Their plan was to capture Wu Yanjun in private and force him to confess... but He Kao ruined their plan and alarmed the entire clan hall.

Even Elder Mei Guyu, who had been in seclusion for a long time, came out and rushed to Taihua Mountain where Qi Nansheng lived in seclusion with Jiang Daozhen to investigate the matter.

The clan law hall finally dealt with Yu Pingzhou publicly. There were some inside stories that were only known to the top leaders, but Jiang Daozhen specifically told He Kao and mentioned Mei Guyu's name in passing.

Almost half a year has passed since this incident. Unexpectedly, Mei Guyu did not return to Xianhu Cave Heaven to continue his retreat, but went to Qiyuan to work!

When He Kao heard the name and saw Qian Guran's reaction, he knew that it couldn't be someone with the same name. The new employee who was going to join the branch was Elder Mei from Danding Sect.

Someone must have specifically told Qian Guran not to reveal Elder Mei's identity and not to give her any special treatment, so she should be treated as an ordinary employee.

Qian Guran did not reveal Elder Mei's identity; he only mentioned the new employee's name. Judging from He Kao's reaction, he had obviously guessed it, so it was none of his business!

He Kao was inexplicably angry. Was work really that good? And why did Elder Mei choose to work at the Qiyuan branch of the Tengxin Group, and become He Kao's colleague?

He Kao looked at Qian Guran with a questioning look. Qian Guran rolled his eyes, then tilted his head and glanced at He Kao. He Kao glared back at him.

The two of them have a tacit understanding, and have reached the point where they can communicate with just eye contact. I can translate what they mean -

He Kao: What’s going on? Why does Elder Mei want to come to work in our company?

Qian Guran: You ask me, who should I ask? She wants to come, how can I dare to stop her? I also want to ask you, anyway, it shouldn't be coming for me, it must be coming for you! Having an employee like you in the company, as a leader, I am really worried!
He Kao: I have nothing to do with this matter, and I don’t want to have anything to do with it.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and He Kao finally spoke up, "Boss Qian, I have a request. If the branch has any field work or business trips recently, please try to assign them to our department and then assign them to me."

Qian Guran: "If this colleague Mei is here for you, and I tell you to get out of here, is that appropriate?" He Kao: "As you said just now, just treat her as an ordinary employee. No need to treat her specially. So, what does the division president's arrangements for other departments have to do with her?"

Qian Guran: "Because she is here, I specially sent you on a business trip. Isn't this special treatment? Don't fool yourself!"

He Kao: "Just tell me whether to send it or not!"

Qian Guran slammed the table and said, "The branch does have a lot of business trips, such as on-site technical support for customers, and technicians like you are needed to take charge. But you have to consider the rationality. After all, I am the boss..."

He Kao waved his hand and said, "I understand. Your rank is too high to be in charge of these matters directly. So no matter which level of leadership you choose, just send me out reasonably. There are even subsidies for business trips!"

Qian Guran remained noncommittal and changed the subject, saying, "Brother, you don't have to worry too much. It's said that this person is only obsessed with cultivation and has no interest in anything else. He might have come here just for cultivation."

He Kao: "How can our company be considered a Feng Shui treasure land? Is it more suitable for cultivation than a blessed land?"

Qian Guran said meaningfully, "It's hard to say! I only broke through to the fourth level after I arrived here. I heard that the highly respected Elder Jiang also broke through to the seventh level in Qiyuan. He and you have quite a connection.

If someone is about to break through the seventh level of cultivation, they might want to come and take a look after hearing the news.

We can always think positively about things. For example, with such a grassroots employee in charge in our company, who would dare to disturb us? We can have a lot of peace and quiet on weekdays, and many things in the art sect may be much more convenient."

He Kao, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, immediately raised his voice and retorted, "Quiet? How can there be any peace and quiet here? Have you ever thought about what this place will become like in the future if she comes here to be an ordinary employee?"

According to He Kao, who was Mei Guyu? The most outstanding talent of the younger generation of the Shu Sect, the youngest elder of the Zongfa Hall! Normally, let alone currying favor with her, he couldn't even see her face.

The elders of the clan law hall were all elusive masters, and it was unheard of for any of them to work a fixed nine-to-five schedule. Even Old Man Jiang back then, no one could predict when he would open his stall!
Mei Guyu, on the other hand, came to work here as an ordinary employee. Wouldn't people flock to her after hearing the news? Even if she could leave a good impression, it would be of great benefit to her.

Not to mention if you can seize the opportunity to make friends with her, or even go a step further and form a relationship with her.

For example, without talking about Yin E’s identity, He Kao got to know Lin Qingshuang and pleased this senior, so he got a lot of benefits. What about people like Mei Guyu?
To give another example, the chessboard that Old Man Jiang uses to set up his stall, the small bamboo stool he sits on, and the seeds from the sycamore tree above his head, those are not ordinary items!
Old Man Jiang did not reveal his identity. Only the other two elders knew where he set up his chess stall. Otherwise, someone would have to be waiting at the entrance of the Pugang Town Farmers' Market 24 hours a day for an opportunity.

With Mei Guyu here, you can imagine how many people are trying to get into the company. Elder Mei doesn't want to reveal her identity, so everyone just plays along, treating her like a colleague, at least to get to know her first.

If you can't squeeze into this company, you can also wait nearby. When Mei Guyu is shopping, buying groceries, or even when crossing the road and waiting for the red light, you have a chance to meet and get to know her.

We'll see. It may appear calm here on the surface, but who knows how lively it may be in secret!

Although he had cast a spell to block the sound, Qian Guran still made a downward pressing gesture with his hand, leaned over and whispered, "It's too early for you to say that! You know about this, I know about it, but others don't know it yet.

Remember, this must not be spread outside, at least not from you or me. How do you know this isn't just the clan leader fishing? If there really were someone hanging around here every day, someone would probably ask why they were there.

The methods of the Shu sect are not limited to magic, the routines are very profound..."

After hearing what Old Qian said, He Kao realized that he had not only overthought it, but also underthought it. Elder Mei's arrival at the company was not announced through a loud speaker, and he strictly ordered those involved not to spread the news.

If someone heard the news and came to try their luck, the clan hall could just check the source of their information.

He Kao stood up and said, "Just pretend I don't know about this. Let the leader take care of the arrangements. I'll go make a phone call first!"

Qian Guran grabbed him and said, "Don't leave so quickly. I still want to discuss something with you. We have a new employee and we need to arrange a place for her to live. Where do you think is suitable for her?"

He Kao: "Mr. Qian, you're being too dramatic. Since she's just an ordinary employee, why should you worry about such matters? Should she live in your house or mine? She found the job herself, so she should rent her own house."

Qian Guran: "This is what I want to tell you. If she rents an apartment on her own, the company office will recommend her when she joins the company. In all likelihood, she will live in Sesame Apartment, which has already signed a cooperation agreement with our company."

He Kao sighed: "If she has to live in Sesame Apartment, there is nothing I can do."

Qian Guran: "Don't you have an empty apartment in Guanliu Community? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why can't you call me here?"

He Kao said frankly: "I'm going to call a certain elder. There are some things that are not convenient for you to hear."

Qian Guran: "Then go quickly!"

He Kao went to the fire escape and walked down several floors. He estimated that it was beyond Lao Qian's spiritual awareness range, so he dialed Jiang Daozhen's audio and cast a spell to block the sound.

Why did He Kao react so strongly just now? He had just broken through to the fourth level of cultivation and discovered the mystery of the "Tan Xian Cane Picture", and the plum rain was about to arrive. This was too coincidental!

Among the seven major schools of magic, the one that He Kao had the worst impression of and was the one he feared the most was the Danding School.
