"Thousands and three hundred high-grade spiritual stones. I have been the treasurer of Sikong Mansion for decades. I have never seen such large expenditures many times. Most of them are collective actions. One person spends so much, haha..."
Judge Wan did not write directly, but looked at him meaningfully.
What does "haha" mean? Hou Zi didn't know, but he knew that Judge Wan, nicknamed Wan Yi Dao, would cut the budget reimbursement across the board, including the skin and flesh, without mercy; therefore, each of the four golden elixirs before killed him two hundred spirit stones. , as the chief officer, Judge Wan’s knife is much sharper than the others.
"The underground forces in Jianye knew that I was anxious, so they opened their mouths like a lion. You also know the market price, which is money for selling one's life. Everyone knew the news later. Neither of them ran away. One was dead and the other wasted...
Do you think the time the government gave me was too short, and I was not allowed to contact other spies?"
Judge Wan smiled slightly, but unexpectedly changed the subject, "Hou Zi, I also understand your situation. Li Zhihai did a great job, single-handedly defeating the group of cultivators in the southeast, and there are several of them who are truly As a core disciple, this ability is amazing. So, what are your thoughts about the future?"
Hou Zi didn't quite understand why this judge suddenly started to care about him?
I can only express it in broad words, "When you are in Sikong Mansion, of course the most important thing is to serve Quanzhen and Shangguan, work hard to complete every task, unite colleagues, respect the division commander, and serve the Splendid Continent..."
Judge Wan raised his hand to stop him, "Just save the topic for the Dharma meeting and don't talk about it in private. What I mean is, don't you have any ideas about practice?"
Hou Zi's heart moved, "Disciple, you don't quite understand what you mean?"
Judge Wan was good at tempting, "For example, aren't you interested at all in your identity as a true disciple? Even those disciples with mediocre qualifications are eager to try, let alone an outstanding disciple like you?"
Hou Ting sighed, "I'll be honest with my uncle, I've thought about it, why haven't I thought about it? But the conversation I had with Li Biejia last time made the disciple a little worried about gain and loss. You also know about the disciple's situation. Without someone to rely on, it is better to retreat when faced with difficulties than to act blindly.”
Judge Wan smiled coldly, "It's not your character to give up without even trying. As for Li Chuping, he is a well-fed man who doesn't know how hungry a man is. He himself has the Yuwai Lingqing, but he persuades others not to care. This is a typical example. hypocrisy."
Hou Zi was a little hesitant, "Disciples are completely confused about the dispute over the true inheritance within the sect. The context is unclear and they don't know how to start."
Judge Wan smiled and said, "You don't know, but I know!"
Hou Zi stood up and bowed his head, "Please ask my uncle to teach me."
Judge Wan took a sip of tea and said, "I can't bear to see the many factions, competing interests, and intrigues within the sect. However, due to my limited abilities, we haven't had a true successor in our lifetime. It's a pity.
But you are different. You are in the bag, but you don't see it immediately. Others don't know your potential. One is short-sighted, and the other is intentional. It is to suppress your group of outstanding disciples from emerging and threatening those who have been appointed. You have the status of a true disciple. Otherwise, given your performance, how could you be so silent within the sect?
It’s not that they can’t see it, it’s that they don’t want to see it.”
"In Quanzhen Sect, there are currently nine true disciples, all of them have good backgrounds, and none of them are just ordinary people.
Our Sikong Mansion lineage is Sun Kaiyu and Li Shulun. Among them, Sun Kaiyu is a disciple of Xu Zhenren, the master of Sikong Mansion. Li Shulun and Li Chuping are from the same clan. Their backers are Zhenren Zong, so I say it is useless for you to seek refuge with Li Chuping, because
The Li family’s connections have been used, and this is Li Shulun.”
Hou Ting listened quietly. He didn't know what Judge Wan meant by what he said. As a fully mature person, he knew very well that Li Chuping's blocking of him was not necessarily malicious, and Judge Wan's support of him was not necessarily a good intention.
Friends and foes are not so easily divided. For him, it doesn't matter if he listens. No matter whether it is good or bad, he will only follow his own will.
Judge Wan gushed, "The Situ Mansion also has two true disciples, namely Wei Gu and Fang Zhonghui. Behind them are Zhenren Yan and Zhenren Yang. These are the candidates that the Situ Mansion has already decided on internally. These two people have been inspected for many years.
, has countless military exploits, is powerful, and is a direct descendant of the Situ Mansion, how can you dig this corner?"
Hou Zi understood somewhat after hearing this. Although the Quanzhen Sect is also divided into the fusion sect and the demon sect, such a distinction cannot be put on the table, and the Quanzhen sect will not admit it. To admit such a sect is self-castration and self-destruction.
Take the chaos out of it.
Therefore, on the surface, the three-government system is still the main one, which is a structure within the church that everyone can accept.
Judge Wan said, "There are three true disciples in the Sima Mansion, Lin Xiaoxian, Zu Yong, and Lu Guimeng. The Yingbian Masters behind them are Master Shi, Master Luo, and Master Jiang."
They are basically a fusion sect, and they are incompatible with you only in terms of concepts, and even the practice of kendo. Based on your performance in Lizhihai, in their eyes, you are arrogant and domineering, and do not understand the overall situation. Do you think you are above them?
Is there still a chance there?"
As he spoke, Judge Wan's tone unconsciously brought out some resentment. Maybe this was also related to what he had experienced when he was in the Tongtian Realm.
"These disciples of real people and wealthy families have just controlled the upper realm channels within the Quanzhen Sect. It is of no use to say that they have obtained the Yuwai Lingqing. In fact, who knows the inside story? Those who have vested interests will not say it themselves.
How could anyone guess it?
There are still two places left, namely Duan Wuqian from Prince Duan's Palace and Wu Weijiang from Prince Wucheng's Palace. As far as I know, you and Prince Duan's Palace don't seem to be on good terms?"
Hou Zi was a little depressed. He had completely offended Prince Duan's Palace, and Prince Wucheng's Palace might not be much better. Although he helped Prince Wucheng's Palace in Lizhihai, if we consider the relationship between him and Wu Weijiang's two concubines,
There is some awkward relationship between them, so it’s hard to say in this regard.
This was not a random guess on his part. This was evident from the fact that Prince Wucheng's Palace had never visited him since he returned to Yujing to thank him. He did not think that a dignified palace could be so stingy and narrow-minded, but if the two women from the Dugu family were among them,
What role it played, it’s hard to say!
Xiao Qiang, every time this woman meets her, something will happen and she will always bring him inexplicable trouble.
Misfortune arises from Xiao Qiang. The ancients are sincere and I will not deceive them.
Seeing Hou Zi there as glum as an eggplant beaten by frost, Judge Wan couldn't help but chuckle,
"Is that what I said? Everyone who hears this secret will be as discouraged as you are. Even if you go to lick the ditch and hug your thigh now and insist on not giving up for thirty years, you may not be able to get anything out of it!
But there is no unstoppable path for mankind. There are a total of thirteen ancestors of the Quanzhen Infant Transformation of the Yan Sect. Apart from these nine, there are still four who have not expressed their opinions."
