Fang Ping raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that King Bai had a good character, and the counselors around him were also so upright and upright, making him a perfect match between gentlemen.
He opened his mouth and said:
"If you don't tell me, I will never know about this, and how can the crime be established?
"When it comes to deeds, there is no heart; when it comes to heart, there is no saint."
Ling Shaohan's tone was extremely sincere:
"The moment the sinful thoughts appear, the crime is established. Even if no actual harm is caused, I want to belittle and lie, but it is also true. The thoughts are the same as the body. Please punish the Sword Immortal."
Fang Ping asked again:
"Does King Bai know that you came to see me?"
"Yes, Shaohan came with King Bai's permission," Ling Shaohan said.
"Well, since you accept the punishment sincerely, I won't refuse."
Fang Ping calmly said:
"I want you to stay with King Bai for the rest of your life and never leave for a moment.
"Even if King Bai's temperament changes in the future, and he hates you and drives you away, he must not give up. He must sacrifice his life to support you until the end of his life."
Hearing this, Ling Shaohan was slightly startled and kowtowed:
"This is Shao Han's own responsibility. Don't dare to punish me and ask the Sword Immortal to punish you severely."
Fang Ping’s mouth twitched:
"It's really troublesome. Are you people in the palace so ignorant?
"Disappear quickly, even if you don't distinguish between good and bad, let King Bai train him again."
After being scolded, Ling Shaohan looked happy and even enjoyed a little bit:
"The Sword Immortal scolded me well, please encourage me more!"
"I told you to get out."
"okay!"
Ling Shaohan left.
Fang Ping hasn't scolded anyone for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would be a heavyweight and still laugh when he was scolded?
...
Half a month after King Bai left Xueyue City, Lei Wujie, Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo and others returned. With such a few living treasures around, Xueyue City became more lively.
During this period, Fang Ping received no less than ten letters, 80% of which asked for medical treatment, and the remaining 20% expressed congratulations.
In the letters asking for medical treatment, Fang Ping, a first-class sect such as Wudang Mountain and Huiyue Pavilion, all asked his disciples to give a unified written reply and declined politely.
Congratulations letter, the same template reply.
Only Tianqi, Qingzhou, and Baixiaotang's Feishu were left to recover alone, but they did not leave.
Fang Ping was waiting for someone, someone he had made an appointment with long ago.
...
A few days later, while Fang Ping was sitting quietly meditating in his mansion, he suddenly heard the sound of horse-drawn carriages lining up and the sound of people shouting outside the street.
"Dong dong——"
As expected, there was another knock on the door.
"The Mu family came to visit the Sword Immortal in the spring breeze. They thanked him with generous gifts and invited Qingzhou to talk to him."
Mu Chunfeng's voice was quite energetic. Behind him were twelve carriages arranged neatly, each with two drivers and four horses. The carriages were decorated with ornate carvings, and there was a phoenix flying flag on the top.
Mu Chunfeng first came to thank Fang Ping for his help, and secondly asked him to treat his elder brother's inability to help.
Lei Wujie next to him widened his eyes:
"Wow, the carriage is so good, the things inside must be very valuable, right?"
Xiao Se glanced at him;
"What have you studied this year?"
"Uh... sword?" Lei Wujie scratched his head, feeling that there was something in Xiao Se's words.
The latter looked helpless:
"In the past year, you have been surrounded by people who are famous in the world. The senior brother is the leader of the new generation of the Tang Sect. Qianluo is the eldest lady of Xueyue City. I am a disciple of Ji Ruofeng of Baixiao Hall.
"For several months at sea, Brother Mu is the richest man in the world, and Fang Ping is the master of swordsmen..."
"What on earth are you trying to say? Who has more titles?" Lei Wujie suddenly interrupted, "Mine is also very long, disciple of Leijiabao, disciple of Jianxinzhong, apprentice of Xueyue Sword Immortal."
Xiao Se rolled his eyes at him:
"I mean, you haven't learned anything after being with us for so long.
"Haha, being born with a delicate heart seems like a derogatory term."
Lei Wujie: "..."
While the two were having a friendly exchange, Fang Ping opened the door to welcome the guests.
Mu Chunfeng bowed his hands and said:
"Sword Immortal, long time no see."
"This battle is quite big," Fang Ping glanced at the carriage outside the house, "If you didn't know better, you'd think you were here to welcome the bride."
"Sword Immortal is really humorous," Mu Chunfeng said with a smile, "These are just trivial invitations. When I go to Qingzhou, there will be more formal ones."
As he spoke, the rich man stepped back and pointed at the carriages to introduce:
"One gold, two silver, three jade and four treasures, the fifth is red silk jade and ginseng, the sixth is Tai Sui in the human world.
"Seven are centuries-old medicinal materials, eight are rare herbs, nine are night-light jade cauldrons, and ten are tribute wines.
"Eleven is a living fairy butterfly, twelve is a permanent flowing stone,
"They are all the best in the world. Please accept them with a smile from the Sword Immortal."
Lei Wujie opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help but marvel:
"How can he give gifts like this? Do you send gold and silver in carts after carts?
"There are so many unheard things in the back, they must be worth my money, right? Can Fourth Master accept them?"
Xiao Se shook his head and left:
"You can see for yourself, it's embarrassing for me to go back."
"Ah, don't?"
Mu Chunfeng smiled and asked:
"Sword Immortal, how about putting these in the yard first? Or do you have another place to store them?"
Fang Ping gave way:
"Just the yard."
"good."
Following Mu Chunfeng's order, the cart drivers carried gold and silver one after another, and transported each red sandalwood hard box to the mansion. In the end, there was almost no room for it in the yard.
Lei Wujie scratched his head:
"Fourth Master really wants it. I thought he didn't like these vulgar things."
"Why not?" Xiao Se asked back, "Not extending your hand when giving money is purely a fool's behavior. If you leave, there will be nothing to see."
On the other side, the coachmen finished carrying the heavy gifts, but stood quietly in the courtyard with no intention of leaving.
Mu Chunfeng smiled slightly:
"By the way, these coachmen have their own specialties. Some are top chefs, some come from musical families, some know gardening arts...
"It's also part of the gift. Please use it as you wish."
Fang Ping’s mouth twitched:
"There is no need for people, I like personal purity."
What I asked you to do is like human trafficking.
"Then just listen to the Sword Immortal," Mu Chunfeng nodded slightly and waved to the coachmen, who immediately left the house and waited.
"I thanked the Sword Immortal first on behalf of my eldest brother. The gift has been delivered, so I won't disturb you."
Mu Chunfeng bowed his hands and said goodbye:
"Looking forward to meeting the Sword Immortal in Qingzhou."
If it is other guests, order a luxury horse-drawn carriage to pick you up and drop them off as a sign of respect.
But Fang Ping has reached the Mystic Realm of Immortal Movement and travels thousands of miles without getting tired of it. Letting someone ride in a carriage is like repaying a favor with an enemy.
Fang Ping himself also thought:
"Actually, your eldest brother has already written to seek medical treatment. You should return first and I'll wait for you at Mu's house."
Mu Chunfeng laughed loudly:
"The Sword Immortal is very fast."
After saying goodbye, Mu Chunfeng set off back to Qingzhou, while Fang Ping thanked the guests behind closed doors and opened the box containing the living Tai Sui.
He rubbed his hands and said:
"That's it for now, let's eat first."
Tai Sui, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, grows underground. In its previous life, it was a rare polymer composed of fungi, bacteria, and slime molds. It is edible and used as medicine.
But the barrel-sized one in front of me... is obviously not the former one.
