I see Qingshan

Chapter 50 Chess Pieces
Little Gourd had considered Black Bear's suggestion before.

But it is difficult to implement it.

Even if he could agree, the rigid and conservative seniors above him would not agree.

Moreover, he is a captain-level creature in this team, and he cannot take the lead in breaking the rules established since ancient times.

Although this branch of theirs originated from Chiyou, to put it bluntly, they were just creatures enslaved by Chiyou.

In the Battle of Zhuolu, Huangdi defeated Chiyou. They thought they would become a speck of dust between heaven and earth like Chiyou.

However, Huangdi not only did not destroy them, but even treated them with courtesy, allowing them to feel the dignity of being living beings.

Maintaining the order of this world and preventing the world from being subverted and destroyed is the instruction of Emperor Huang.

The older generation of people has reached the limit of respect for Huangdi, and the ideas passed down by them also follow the will of Huangdi and will never break the rules.

Young people like Black Bear, who have hardly been influenced by their elders, may not be able to empathize with them.

Seeing Little Gourd lost in thought, Black Bear waited for a long time, and finally spoke impatiently: "Old Deng, speak."

Hearing the sound, Little Gourd snapped out of his distant thoughts, glanced at Black Bear, and said, "Don't be so disrespectful. Your ancestor and I are about the same age. I told you before that there is no order without rules. The mountain guards are neither dead nor have they shown any signs of defection. If we intervene now and the higher-ups find out, it will be no joke."

Black Bear sighed: "What's the point of having good intentions? It's better to take precautions before they happen."

Little Gourd: "Then you go back and talk to the seniors above. I don't have the say."

"I'll go and tell him?"

Black Bear thought of those ancient creatures who always had stern faces and liked to whip him for no reason. He shuddered and shook his head: "No, no, no, you want me to die."

He was beaten countless times just because he was accused of disrespecting the rules.

Before Little Gourd could respond, Black Bear said in a strange tone, "Boss, you don't seem to know the concept of a mountain guardian at all. Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Once a mountain guardian is chosen, they inherit divine power, and the duties of a mountain guardian also come to mind..."

But when Black Bear observed Tang Xin in recent days, she was only thinking about how to make her inn bigger and stronger, and was daydreaming about how to list her chain on the stock market.

Chain, franchise, go public, make a fortune...

Is this what a mountain guardian should think and do?

"It's really strange, and it's not even limited to that."

The little gourd said, "Being able to communicate with all things is not a divine power of the Yellow Emperor, and it is even less likely to be a divine power of the mountain guardian."

If the mountain keepers were to obtain this kind of meaningless divine power, the world would have been overthrown by those evil ancient creatures long ago.

Throughout history, all the mountain keepers, without exception, possessed divine power that could shake the heavens and earth and make ghosts weep.

But when it came to Tang Xin's term, it was obvious that a waste had emerged.

According to common sense, this kind of thing should never happen.

Xiao Hulu even suspected that Tang Xin might be deliberately pretending to be weak. As for what her plan was, no one knew.

Otherwise, there is no explanation at all.

Little Gourd: "For now, we don't know Tang Xin's plans, so we can't intervene. Besides, that Black Dragon is very cunning and must have a trick up his sleeve. Acting rashly could lead to even worse consequences. My guess is that Tang Xin is either intentionally defecting and has already reached some kind of conspiracy with the Black Dragon."

Black Bear shook his head: "I still don't quite believe your guess."

Little Gourd: "There is another possibility. Tang Xin and Black Dragon are secretly playing a game. They are both chess players, and it is still unknown who will win this game."

Black Bear kept shaking his head: "Then I don't believe it even more. I'm not questioning the ability of the mountain keeper, I'm questioning the boss himself." Black Bear not only questioned Tang Xin, he also questioned Qin Ying.

From any perspective, neither of them seems very smart.

A person who was chased by a spirit monkey for days and nights, knowing that it was a misunderstanding but unable to explain it clearly.

If Huashe had not come forward to offer himself, Qin Ying would probably have been hunted to the ends of the earth.

The other one stayed at the inn all day long, counting accounts and daydreaming of getting rich.

Are these two chess players decent?

Letting them be pawns is showing enough respect.

Little Gourd shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry about it. Just keep an eye on them, especially Qin Ying. As long as he keeps degenerating and reaches his weakest point, if the mountain guards don't take action, then we will take the initiative to intervene. Well, that's in line with the rules."

Black Bear snorted softly: "Old bastard..."

……

Inn.

At daybreak, Tang Xin finished washing up, cooked a few bowls of steaming noodles from the kitchen and brought them to the table.

Just as I put it down, I saw Black Bear walking into the living room from outside, looking exhausted.

Before Tang Xin could ask, Black Bear explained, "Boss, I went to hand out flyers."

Tang Xin immediately gave Black Bear a thumbs-up: "I like employees like you. Keep up the good work. In two years, I'll try to open a branch and let you be the manager!"

Black Bear: "...Boss, listen to me. Thank you."

Even opening branches makes it difficult to pay salaries.

Seeing Tang Xin fantasizing foolishly, Black Bear really couldn't connect the girl in front of him with the "chess player" that Little Gourd mentioned.

At this time, the roar of a motorcycle was heard outside the inn.

Zhao Teng walked into the house carrying a lot of bags and said, "Sister, I'm here to visit the gods!"

Seeing this, Tang Xin hurried over and took the large and small bags from Zhao Teng's hands with a smile on her face: "Brother, have you eaten? If not, I will cook you two more special dishes. Look at you, you are here, why are you still buying..."

Zhao Teng: "That's great. I came early and the breakfast shop isn't open yet. I haven't eaten yet."

When she found the incense and candles in the bag, the smile on Tang Xin's face froze completely. She looked at Zhao Teng expressionlessly and said, "You didn't eat? If not, go home and eat."

Zhao Teng: “???”

Black Bear was a little surprised by Tang Xin's sudden change of expression. When he accidentally glanced at the ingots and candles in the bag, he became thoughtful.

This is not a smart person either. He thought of the wise saying of mankind, "Birds of a feather flock together."

As expected, human wisdom is great, the insights are very accurate, and the summaries are quite insightful.

At this moment, Tang Xin looked at Zhao Teng with a strange look. With this guy's intelligence, how did he make so much money and drive a luxury car?
Zhao Teng ignored Tang Xin. His eyes fell on Qin Ying, who was sitting on the sofa watching the news. He smiled and leaned over to her. "Snake Fairy, do you think my bad luck has been lifted?"

Qin Ying didn't respond, so Zhao Teng could only stand there awkwardly.

Only after the news on TV was over did Qin Ying look at Zhao Teng and ask, "Did you just talk to me?"
