The senior brother who delivered the message in front of her was quite handsome. Yan Shujia had some impressions of him. She knew that his name was Qi Xuanrong and that he was a young man with fairly good qualifications in the head family. However, she had not had much interaction with him.
Although this person claimed to have been to the ruins of Venerable Yuanchu with him, Yan Shujia had no impression of this. He thought he might not have met him at that time, so he didn't take it to heart.
However, the visitor brought a letter from the sect. Yan Shujia asked a few questions and found out that this person was now on duty at the Law Enforcement Hall. Therefore, he immediately took the letter, found himself, and sent it over in person. Yan Shujia glanced at
After a few glances at the small characters on it, while the thoughts in my heart were tumbling, my face did not change color, but showed a lady-like smile. Wen Yan thanked the other person, and ignored the man's reluctant gaze, and left the book collection alone.
Pavilion and quickly returned to his residence.
This "punishment" decision came very quickly. It can be seen that the sect attaches great importance to her tenure in Tianlimen and her performance in the Battle of the Seven Alliances. As the first monk in the Qi Kingdom who was involved in it, she thought about her skills.
She was not skilled enough, failed to respond to the crisis in time, and failed to report the situation to the sect in time. She fully recognized this in her heart, and was prepared to be severely punished.
However……
Without special approval, you are not allowed to leave the sect within half a year;
During this period, you will be required to work in the Cangshuge Pavilion for ten days every month, and will not receive any contribution from the sect, nor will the sect’s salary be paid;
Before the expiration of the penalty period, the sect's contribution will be halved for the magical weapons that have been surrendered or need to be surrendered;
Within five years, you are not allowed to form a Taoist relationship with anyone without the special approval of the sect.
This punishment is a bit light. Based on Yan Shujia's understanding of the sect's law enforcement hall, it is very possible to be confined for two years and even need to stay in an uninhabited place like "Forbidden Mountain Foothills". However, this
The punishment is not only short-lived, but also requires working in the library. The problem is that if you enter the third floor or above of the library, you have to pay tribute. So if you are ordered to work here, can you check the classics for free in your free time?
This is not so much a punishment as a reward.
Also, what the hell is it that you are not allowed to form a Taoist partner with anyone for five years? As far as she knows, no one seems to have been punished like this in more than ten years. In other words, which law enforcement deacon insists on adding one to himself?
What about such a strange punishment? Could it be that the master secretly exerted influence on it? When leaving the ruins, master Qi Zhengfeng discovered Jiang Feng's traces and asked him about it. He only revealed a little bit of his feelings, so the master became angry and intended to
Jiang Feng took a look at the color. If he hadn't begged for mercy, maybe the master would have dealt harshly. Could it be that the master was afraid that Jiang Feng and I would be together, so he found someone to add such a clause?
No, the master himself was fined two years' salary because of his incompetence as a professor. Could it be that he still had some extra face left to intercede for himself, or even add a clause that only he would mind?
There is something fishy about this matter everywhere.
Yan Shujia immediately felt something unusual about this. After thinking for a moment, he went to the sect's treasury and asked the treasury steward whether the value of the magic weapon he had turned in had been evaluated. The treasury steward wrapped in a brown robe
Since he recognized this outstanding person, he smiled and took out the account after a while.
"Eighteen magic weapons were exchanged for a total of 2,800 points of tribute."
"That's 1,400 points, right?" Yan Shujia thought of the penalty where her contribution was halved.
"No, this was reduced by half." The brown-robed steward handed over the account and took a glance at it, "Senior Yan, the magic weapon you turned in this time seems to be of good quality. Look, this one
A third-level high-grade long stick has two thousand points of tribute. Those iron roosters rarely give such high evaluations. It's a pity. I heard that you suffered a little injustice and were punished by the sect. Let me tell you, who
You won’t make any mistakes…”
While chattering, he circled several items in the list, "According to the rules of the Treasury, those who turn in magic weapons at once and receive more than two thousand points of tribute can choose from the items turned in.
Items worth no more than 400 points of gate tribute. Senior Yan, please take it!"
The assessed value, except for a few items, has almost reached the upper limit. Yan Shujia heard the chattering words of the manager of the warehouse, but she was thinking about this incomprehensible question in her heart. She had never encountered such special treatment.
To say that the magic weapon she handed over this time is of high quality, it is indeed true. After all, it is used by monks of the same level as herself. The long stick magic weapon used by Ma Shikai of Tianli Sect even contains the spirit of the weapon, but to say that
She didn't believe it was worth the tribute of so many sects. She had carefully examined the two-headed demon dog spirit. Although it had a special function of detecting movements based on smell, its combat power was quite poor, and its nature was to bully the weak and fear the strong. Once the owner fell into the headwind,
In the middle of the game, she had no fighting spirit. This was something she also fully realized at the last moment in the ruins. If the spiritual weapon had been a little braver at that time, it might not be known who would win and who would lose.
Yan Shujia finally selected the "Water Dragon Order Flag" and the "vast true fire talisman box" that can automatically generate talismans. The two together add up to exactly 358 points of tribute, which is in line with the rules of the sect's treasury.
That
In fact, after the magic sword was re-refined, she no longer needed these two low-grade magic weapons. But when she saw these two old objects, she could think of all the things she had to do with Jiang Feng in the ruins.
Seeing the unforgettable scene, a warm and moist feeling arose spontaneously, making her feel that she was no longer alone, as if he, with a slightly thin back, had always been by her side.
…………
After handling the magic weapons in Duobao Pavilion, Jiang Feng went to Yu Xiaozheng's residence. Unlike the Chu family and Xiao family, the Yu family's main industry was in Dongji City. Therefore, Jiang Feng had no chance to visit Yu Mansion. Of course, Yu Xiaoman
His siblings never invited him there either.
"You're really fast!" Yu Xiaozheng could tell at a glance that Jiang Feng's cultivation had improved, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I'm going to call you senior."
"No way, I haven't seen you for several months, haven't your cultivation levels improved a lot?" Jiang Feng also discovered Yu Xiaozheng's improvement, but it was just that he had risen to a higher level, and his progress was different.
The children of these big families, as long as they have good qualifications and are nourished by abundant resources, can quickly advance in the spiritual level and the early stage of Xuan level. However, after passing the Xuan level, because they pay too much attention to safety, they rarely have the opportunity to take risks and experience, but most of them are lost.
First mover advantage.
That's right, if you already have wealth and honor, why risk your life?
From another angle, Jiang Feng thought to himself that he would still be content with the status quo, it all depends on fate.
"Can't compare, can't compare, you are all crazy."
"Why are you talking about you?" As soon as Jiang Feng spoke, he felt a familiar aura. It was Yu Xiaoman, who still looked cold and cold. She did not wear a veil today. She glanced at Jiang Feng and felt his earth-level aura.
His expression became much gloomier, "I didn't expect that you are really destined to the great road."
"My sister has been practicing and even went to the Lingxu for a short time. Only then did she stabilize at the fifth level of the Xuan level. You are so good. It's really shocking." Yu Xiaozheng curled his lips at the side, "Sister, you said we call him
Which one is better, Head Jiang, or Senior Jiang?"
"Don't be so talkative." Yu Xiaoman glanced at him, and the sadness in his eyes dissipated a lot, "Jiang Feng, you came just in time. Things about Haitang Sanren Mansion have already been sorted out."
Haitang Sanren Mansion? Jiang Feng expected that Yu Xiaoman would mention this matter, but he did not expect that she would be so straightforward, "Have you found all the candidates to go to the monks together?" Originally, the reason why Jiang Feng did not explicitly reject the matter was because
This Haitang Sanren Mansion is suspected to be related to the disappearance of Ren Wudao, the head of the ninth generation. However, from the secrets that he accidentally heard when he was accompanying Kuang Shucai before, it seems to be extremely dangerous here. Therefore, Jiang Feng decided to go to the prefecture level before making plans. Now
, when he reached the prefecture level, he hesitated.
It is important to let things go according to my own will, but compared to taking risks to pursue old traces, it is the last word to look forward. This is Jiang Feng's biggest realization after being promoted to the prefecture level. Live in the present, focus on tomorrow, and self-denial is better than asking for help.
, in comparison, he is more concerned about matters related to the Vantage Gate, where the mystery of his life experience is buried, and Ren Wodao, although he died in Haitang Sanren Mansion, he may not necessarily carry relevant records with him. A dead person is
There is no way to divine things, and there is no way to search for souls.
The reason why Yu Xiaoman is interested in Haitang Sanren Mansion is actually because he suspects that this person has mastered cross-type Dharma and is proficient in the skills of his Dharma. This is really not Jiang Feng's focus. In other words, even if he now has a wife,
Su Jin's cultivation dilemma, but Su Jin's methods are different, rather than requiring cross-type learning, which are completely different things.
"There are three people from the Yu family, one at the Earth level, me, and one Xuan-level monk, plus you, and two Xuan-level monks from Yufeng Sect."
"Wind Control Sect?"
"Yes, it is the Yufeng Sect. Although this place is in the sea of rocks and is an unclaimed territory, in fact each sect has its own territory. Go here to investigate. You can bypass the surrounding sects in the short term, but we are visiting a
There must be quite a lot of movement in the cave to break the formation, so this trip requires close cooperation with the Wind Yu Sect. Originally, Ruijinmen was also possible, but the first one to be negotiated was the Wind Yu Sect."
"Who is there?"
"We can't talk about it yet."
"That……"
"Are you talking about safety? Don't worry about safety. I was originally a prefecture-level monk from the Yu family. I was a little worried, but now that you have been promoted to the prefecture-level, you must be more confident about this trip. Haitang Sanren, in the final analysis, you are still alive.
He's just an earth-level monk, so there won't be much danger."
"Where's the date?"
"On October 28th, meet at Lizhou City."
"Can I not go?"
"You have promised me before. As the leader, you should keep your word. Moreover, it is rare for the elders of the Yu family to pay attention to this matter and specially sent extra people to break the formation. This kind of opportunity is extremely rare. I advise you not to miss it.
Good opportunity."
I didn’t promise you, that’s because I accidentally fell into your trap, Jiang Feng thought to himself, but October 28th is still more than a month away. If he can solve his current problem, he can also go on a journey.
trip, but the current preparation is not enough...
"But there is one thing, I hope you can help me deal with it." Jiang Feng had a "Shallow Mountain Situation Map" in his hand, but this map was unusually large, covering the eastern part of Li Zong.
Most of the territory, as well as the hometown of the Seven Leagues, as far south as the Qing Yuzong, were clearly marked. The reason why he came to the Yu family was to use the Yu family's shortcut to open up connections with Li Zong, hoping that Li Zong could intervene in the "Xinyuan County"
"As for the matter, now that Sakon is able to force Su Liqing to submit, Li Zong can be regarded as a force that is on the bright side.
Jiang Feng explained his thoughts one by one and clarified the stakes he understood. For Li Zong, basically they did not gain any advantage in the two battles of the Seven Alliances. Instead, they were defeated by the power of Tianli Sect and Qi State.
Invading the hometown of the Seven Alliances, it must be said that this is a potential threat.
"You got it completely wrong."
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoman directly said something to hurt morale, "Here," she circled the area around the Seven Alliance's hometown, including the Qianshan Sect and Heishuimen's hometown, with a red pen, "it is not an area that Li Zong needs to be concerned about.
From my perspective, our interests are here." She once again delineated two areas, one is Ruijin Gate, the south of Yufeng Sect and Fuhai Gate, and the other is the three small sects near the Li family in Xihai, "The Seven Alliances are in decline.
, it is not just the factors of the monks, but also the spiritual land. Without the spiritual land, it has little value. Even if it increases the profit of the merchants, it will be slightly inferior."
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. As for what the family elders think, I will communicate with you as soon as possible. But..."
"But what?" Jiang Feng looked at her doubtfully, and there seemed to be lingering confusion on Yi Qingleng's face.
"Even if you can succeed, you must be prepared to pay a sufficient price. There are not so many good things in the world that can be used to build nests to attract phoenixes. The most important thing is win-win benefits. And you, although you have reached the prefecture level
, but in front of Li Zong, you still can’t stand up to [Ling Ling.].”
Although these words were hurtful, they were reasonable. Jiang Feng thought that he had been mentally prepared, but he was still hurt by the sharp-sighted Yu Xiaoman.

"Don't miss a good opportunity."
Um?
Yan Shujia looked at the person in front of him inexplicably. This woman with fair complexion and two long golden hairpins on her temples was none other than his mother, Chu Mingxin. She usually lived in seclusion in the mountains, but she did not care about her because of the remote location.
, neglecting to take care of herself, sometimes standing next to Yan Shujia with light makeup or even no makeup, she sometimes feels ashamed of herself.
"Jia'er, you have someone you fall in love with at first sight, right?"
"This... mother... me?"
"My beautiful son has finally grown up." Chu Mingxin stood up from the futon with a smile, and slowly leaned over. He carefully moved his jade hands on Yan Shujia's short hair, and looked at Yan Shujia with a look of love and affection.
He came along quickly and straightened his messed up hair, "Tell me, what kind of person is our Jiaer's ideal person?"
"Head."
Chu Mingxin's jade hands trembled obviously, and the expression on her face suddenly changed, "Qi Hengtai can't do it."
"It's not the leader, it's the leader of a foreign sect."
"So that's it. Mother, I'm worrying too much." Chu Mingxin's face brightened slightly, "To be more specific, at what level of cultivation can I get married?"
"Jiang Feng, the head of the Qianshan Sect, has just entered the prefectural level. Is he married? I forgot to ask."
"Is it a monster?"
"Yes..." Yan Shujia whispered, "So... Master doesn't agree with us being together."
"What qualifications does he have to disagree?" Chu Ming snorted in his heart, "Does Qi Zhengfeng have that courage? He even gave up halfway when trying to pass Yuanying. He was afraid of wolves before and tigers behind. He only had the etiquette of monarchs and ministers in his heart, and had no courage. He only had fragmentary thoughts and thousands of thoughts.
And useless trash!"
"Mom, you said that about Master..." Yan Shujia was a little confused. In the impression, her mother had never said this about Master Qi Zhengfeng. What happened today? In other words, although Master has not yet achieved the Nascent Soul, her mother is still in the middle ten years of the Golden Core.
It's been 10 years, and the speed of advancement in cultivation is not as fast as that of Master.
"Jia'er, you have to make your own decision in this matter. Don't let outsiders influence you."
"Mom, do you agree...that I be with the demon clan?"
"Of course. But, Jia'er, are you really sure?" Chu Ming thought of this and suddenly felt that he should check for his daughter in advance, just in case she met a scumbag like Qi Hengtai or a weakling like Qi Zhengfeng.
Wouldn't it be like yourself, who missed half your life?
What kind of person is that Jiang Feng? Chu Mingxin suddenly became interested.
…………
Li Zong, Zhenwu City.
Jiang Feng sent a greeting card and asked to see Chu Yiming. There was not much time left before the wedding on September 26th. Jiang Feng was originally suffering from not having a suitable gift, but Yin Du suddenly came to visit and gave him a pair of gloves, which turned out to be just right.
, this magical weapon that can increase the power of various spells seems to be very suitable for Chu Yiming.
As usual, he was waiting for the steward Huang Dong to come out to greet him, but a magnificent corner carriage covered by a curtain came from a distance. The carriage stopped at the side entrance of Chu Mansion, and soon there was a maid who was slightly fat but not plump.
He came over to lend a hand and helped down a woman in white clothes.
Um?
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, but he realized that he didn't recognize him.
