After seeing off Su Yuanfeng, Yang Lu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "This Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, on the surface, looks like a group of Qi Refining monks fighting each other mindlessly, but the conflict of interests behind it is extremely complicated. If you want to avoid offending,
Under any influence, settling all troubles is like dancing on a tightrope!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but rub his temples.
Although the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was the biggest winner of the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, Yang Lu had to deal with at least seven or eight cultivation forces with different stances from beginning to end, including the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, the Shanying Sect, Pan's Trading Company, and the Hanguang Sword Sect.
, Arctic Cold Palace, Li Feiyu, Ren Tianyuan...
It is definitely not an easy task to be able to navigate with ease among the endless routines of many cultivation forces.
Ever since Yang Lu straightened out the internal governance system of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and promoted two senior managers, Ji Sihan and He Mingyuan, it has been a long time since he worked so hard.
However, before he finished speaking, he felt a fragrant breeze coming from beside him. It turned out that at some point, Li Qingning sat directly on the chair next to him.
I saw Miss Li staring at him with her big, fluttering eyes, and said softly: "Although you are not a contestant in this Zhongzhou Sword Competition, you have to work harder than those of us who compete in person. Since you have
After joining the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, I obviously feel that the affairs of the chamber of commerce that were originally difficult have gradually become smoother... Anyway, thank you very much!"
Li Qingning is obviously not the kind of person who is good at expressing gratitude.
When he said his final thanks, Li Qingning's face turned slightly red. When he suddenly heard Li Qingning's words of thanks, Yang Lu was also stunned on the spot.
Is this something that my eldest lady can say?
After being stunned for a moment, he blurted out: "Miss, were you kidnapped? Where did you hide the real Li Qingning?"
After hearing this, Li Qingning's blood pressure suddenly rose.
But in the end, she just snorted softly and put on an expression like "I won't care about you after you have done so many things." It was only then that Yang Lu, whose brain was already a little slow, realized that Li Qingning was really here just now.
Thank yourself.
After finally understanding the care that Li came from Qingning, Yang Lu quickly smiled and waved his hands and said: "This is what I should do! Today's Zhongzhou cultivation world seems to be calm, but there are already many hidden worries behind it.
Collect more chips before the crisis comes, I'm afraid there will really be disaster in the future!"
However, Li Qingning didn't know if he heard Yang Lu's bold words.
She did not continue to discuss the future of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce with Yang Lu. Instead, she nodded slightly and said another matter in a serious tone: "Actually, you don't have to do so much for me... With your ability
, I am afraid that no matter which force you go to, you will be very popular. Not only is my great-grandfather very optimistic about you, I think Chen Ming, the head of the Mountain Eagle Sect just now, also really wants to recruit you to serve in the Mountain Eagle Sect. I guess Su Yuanfeng and
Han Xinhe and the others should have also extended an olive branch to you!"
Seeing Li Qingning casually piercing the window paper, Yang Lu was shocked and said: "Miss, you actually saw it?"
Although what Li Qingning mentioned is not a secret that is not told, and it is not surprising for outsiders to guess it, the person who said those words just now is Li Qingning!
At this time, Yang Lu was as surprised as Tian Beixi, who was called out by Li Qingning on the spot yesterday.
"I just don't like to use my brain, but I'm not a fool!" Li Qingning burst out laughing, showing a very charming smile, "Although I don't see many things as clearly as you do, but this kind of thing that is before me is
I can still understand things by using my brain a little. Back then, when I went to Tianshu City to do business, I couldn't see Chen Ming at all. It was only Fei Fan who came forward to send me away. Now, the leader of the Dignified Mountain Eagle Sect,
You are even willing to take the initiative to visit me. If I still can't see anything fishy, that would be weird! To be honest...you shouldn't be like Na Tian Beixi, who always treats me as a fool!"
Yang Lu already knew that his eldest lady was not stupid.
It's just that Li Qingning is usually a hands-off shopkeeper who is too lazy to use his brain, and is obviously a little too ambitious, so sometimes Yang Lu does subconsciously feel that she is not very smart, but then Li Qingning suddenly points it out, and the situation becomes a little embarrassing.
So he immediately changed the subject and said, "So... you were acting with Chen Ming just now?"
However, Li Qingning's answer once again exceeded Yang Lu's expectations. She shook her head very firmly: "I'm not acting with Chen Ming. What I just showed is all my true thoughts. If you really don't want to help,
I manage the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. You could have accepted Chen Ming's invitation to join the Shanying Faction a long time ago. Since you are still working on the affairs of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, this speaks volumes. How could I not trust you?
"
"Miss...well, actually changing jobs is not as easy as you think. Whether it is the Wuliang Sword Sect or other local forces, loyalty is always the quality that needs to be considered in the first place. It does not mean that I can leave if I want to.
You have to know, if I had just accepted Chen Ming's request without hesitation, the other party would have been suspicious——"
Before Yang Lu finished speaking, Li Qingning interrupted directly: "But this won't trouble you at all, right?"
"This, Miss..."
Even though Yang Lu was usually very eloquent, he couldn't help but be speechless at this moment.
In the end, Li Qingning sighed quietly and said: "Actually, it was the Qingning Chamber of Commerce that caused you trouble. If it weren't for all the trouble I had, you wouldn't have had to work so hard."
As the saying goes, a natural idiot has a dark belly.
Not only Chen Ming, an old hermaphrodite, was speechless by Li Qingning, but Yang Lu was also warmed by Li Qingning's sudden gentle tone.
However, Li Qingning seemed to have opened up his chat box and continued to ramble: "The Qingning Chamber of Commerce is in today's situation largely due to your efforts. My great-grandfather did not see me this time, probably because of him
His lifespan is really running out. Maybe his lifespan will be completely exhausted before the battlefield outside the territory is opened. If by then, I have some troubles in the battlefield outside the territory, then the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can only leave it to you...
…”
Yang Lu was quite moved at first, but when he heard something later, he felt something was wrong. He quickly stopped him and said: "Miss, what kind of flag are you inserting here? What does it mean to have three advantages and two disadvantages in the battlefield outside the territory? A practitioner like you
What else can be wrong with an invincible Qi period existence?"
Li Qingning's expression was obviously a little tangled, but she finally made up her mind and slowly said: "The battlefield outside the territory is originally a place where cultivators repay injustice and seek revenge. I may have forgotten to tell you some things, and you may still
I don’t know why my great-grandfather is the only junior with the qualifications for cultivation..."
Feeling that there was something in the other person's words, Yang Lu couldn't help but frowned: "What do you mean?"
Li Qingning sighed softly and explained patiently: "The third Lingshi financial crisis was extremely dangerous. Although the currency reform promoted by Governor Lu at that time accumulated countless merits, countless cultivators still died because of the reformers. According to my great-great-grandfather's advice,
It is said that most of these bankrupts brought it upon themselves, either because of their own greed, or because they were unable to find their own position, overestimated their abilities, and tried to get rich overnight through speculation, so they ended up losing everything.
Otherwise, even if ordinary people suffer some losses, they will not go bankrupt. However, the nature of human beings is that no one will take the initiative to admit their own problems. When a problem occurs, everyone will find reasons to excuse themselves, so in the end they all
This account was written down to Mr. Lu and Grandpa Tai..."
"President Lu is an ascended immortal, how dare they publicly slander an immortal?"
Li Qingning nodded, then shook his head and said: "What you said makes sense. They really don't dare to publicly slander the Ascending Immortal. My great-grandfather also once said that because the authorities in the Kyushu cultivation world are all third-time spiritual
They were vested interests during the Stone Financial Crisis, so this group of Avengers could not afford to make any trouble. However, this hatred has not disappeared. On the foreign battlefield where the participants' highest cultivation level does not exceed the Qi Refining Stage and there is no supervision or restriction,
This hatred has a window to vent. President Lu has no direct descendants, but the other founders of Lingshi Reserve Bank are different..."
"Did all the other juniors of President Li die on battlefields outside the territory?"
Li Qingning hummed softly and said with some helplessness: "Before me, our family had several seniors with spiritual root qualifications, but without exception, they all died on battlefields outside the territory. This is definitely not a coincidence. Although I
His spiritual root qualifications are higher than those of his predecessors, and his strength is also stronger, but who can predict the dangers of battlefields outside the territory?"
When Li Qingning said this, Yang Lu suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things. For example, why did Li Qingyang specifically invite Tong Xingu, the Supreme Elder of Zijin Pavilion, to create the flashy Qi Refining Period Divine Weapon Xunfeng for Li Qingning? Why did he specifically invite Yufeng Faction to
The eldest brother, Xiao Nan, teaches the wind-attributed exercises that are most suitable for Li Qingning. Why did he specially invite Cheng Hua, the supreme elder of the sect, to teach Li Qingning the most powerful defensive exercise in the Kyushu Cultivation World, "The Secret Scroll of Pure Heart".
Let’s not talk about anything else for now, let’s talk about Li Qingning’s horse-killing sword Xunfeng. As a transitional magic weapon used in the Qi Refining Stage, its price is no less than the top-grade Golden Core Stage magic weapon, and its quality is even better than that of President Lu’s Qi Refining Stage Saber.
Coral Heart, this can no longer be simply explained by doting.
Now it seems that President Li is going to extraterrestrial battlefields to stack buffs for Li Qingning!
It's no wonder that Li Qingning was so anxious during this period. If he didn't practice spells with Butler Zhou for fourteen hours every day, he would feel empty in his heart. The sudden burst of hard work from this scumbag almost made Yang, who was a top student at Shuimu University,
The road looked stupid.
Even if the battlefield outside the territory is indeed very dangerous, the seriousness shown by Miss Li is too outrageous. Unexpectedly, it was the battlefield outside the territory that put so much pressure on Li Qingning that she was almost stunned.
Moreover, Miss Li, who has never liked to use her brain recently, suddenly started to care about the people and things around her. She even saw the flaws in Tian Beixi's tone and Chen Ming's little plan to sow discord.
Already.
If it were the former thick-headed Miss Li, she wouldn't have such a delicate mind.
Yang Lu once heard from relatives and friends who were doctors that after some terminal cancer patients learned that they were terminally ill, they suddenly showed an extraordinary enthusiasm for life or had personality changes. Looking at Li Qingning's performance now, this
I'm afraid this statement is not fabricated out of thin air. For Miss Li, isn't it equivalent to a terminal illness in a dangerous foreign battlefield...
Yang Lu was stunned when he suddenly felt a soft touch on his shoulder.
It turned out that Li Qingning put his chin on his shoulder at some point and murmured to himself: "If I really give the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to you, you can treat it well. After all, I also have mine here.
Hard work!"
Hearing that the eldest lady rarely showed such a cute look under the heavy pressure of the battlefield outside the territory, how could Yang Lu not express his stance at this time?
He immediately waved his hand fiercely and said: "If it doesn't work, I will go to the battlefield outside the territory with you!"
However, even if it is a bold statement, it depends on who said it.
The heroic speech of Yang Lu, a third-level Qi Refining monk, almost made the depressed Li Qingning laugh. She couldn't help but complain like a spoiled child: "Junior brother Yang, do you know what you are talking about? When the battlefield outside the territory starts,
You can only cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining at most, are you planning to die?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How could Yang Lu let Li Qingning look down on him? He raised his eyebrows and said: "But how did I hear that when President Lu participated in the extraterritorial battlefield trial?
, also only have the fourth level of Qi refining?"
"That's true, but -"
"Then it's over!" Yang Lu's mind quickly flashed through the information he had on the foreign battlefield, and he analyzed it without any pause: "Since President Lu dares to bravely enter the foreign battlefield with the fourth level of Qi Refining, this means that the foreign battlefield test
Lian is similar to the Zhongzhou Sword Competition, you don’t have to rely solely on your fists to win!”
Although Li Qingning now has a blind respect for Yang Lu's ability, Yang Lu's bold speech comparing himself to Governor Lu still made her feel a little outrageous.
She ruthlessly complained on the spot: "If a fourth-level Qi Refining monk is placed on a battlefield outside the territory, it is equivalent to the merit of walking. If I have to distract myself from protecting you by then, then it will be harming me!"
Yang Lu subconsciously touched Li Qingning's head and comforted him: "Don't worry! Just like the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, no matter what you do, off-site work is more important than on-site work, even if I don't go to the battlefield in person.
, I will also use my own methods to find a solution for you."
Li Qingning was not aware of Yang Lu's intimate behavior at all, but asked curiously: "What about?"
"For example, Ye Chen is a very useful and passionate tool man. I think he is quite suitable to be a bodyguard!"
"Ye Chen? Why would he specifically protect me? Your mountain hawk sent guest token is of no use on the battlefield outside the territory!"
"There are always more solutions than difficulties!"
Being comforted by Wen Yan, Li Qingning felt an inexplicable sense of security for some reason: "Okay, then I want to see how you are going to protect me..."
