Mrs. Long took two steps forward and said, "I am Xie Shuqing, Long Xiang's mother. Thank you for bringing my son back from the Jedi."
As she said that, she bowed deeply to Chu Tianshu and fell to the ground.
"Madam, I don't dare to be a junior."
Chu Tianshu stretched out his hand to help, but felt it was inappropriate and his hands froze in mid-air.
"You saved Xiang'er's life. You are the benefactor of our Long family, so you deserve it."
Xie Shuqing straightened up and said with a sincere face: "If you have any use in the Long family in the future, don't be polite."
Chu Tianshu said: "Thank you madam."
Although she looked sincere, Chu Tianshu was not new to the world, so naturally he would not take her seriously immediately. Whether she meant it or not would have to be seen later.
What's more, Chu Tianshu cannot forget the festival between the Long family and the Murong family.
Xie Shuqing greeted, "Let's sit inside."
When the three of them entered the Panlong Pavilion, guards came in, moved the lounge chairs away, and set up a round table and chairs. A maid also brought in fruits and tea.
Soon, another tea master came in with a complete set of tea sets and made tea for the three of them.
After the tea master served the three people fragrant tea, Xie Shuqing picked up the tea cup, gestured slightly to Chu Tianshu, and said with a smile: "I am not good at drinking, so I would like to express my gratitude again with this cup of tea."
"You're welcome, madam."
Chu Tianshu raised the tea cup in front of him and signaled to Xie Shuqing, then took a sip.
Xie Shuqing put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Your efforts have not been in vain. The Jedi Guard Base in the Western Region has confirmed that the altar has indeed been destroyed, which has greatly reduced the pressure on their guard."
She looked at Long Xiang and Chu Tianshu and said, "You are all heroes of China."
Long Xiang looked ashamed and said in a harsh voice: "Mother, in fact, this is all Chu..."
"Listen to what I have to say first. I have good news for you."
Xie Shuqing interrupted Long Xiang and then said: "In view of your achievements, the Shenzhou Jedi Guard Headquarters is going to grant you the position of deputy envoy of the Jedi Guard in Tangdu."
While speaking, she glanced at Chu Tianshu intentionally or unintentionally.
Chu Tianshu twirled the tea cup and smelled the fragrance of the tea. There was no emotion at all from beginning to end.
Although he didn't know what Long Xiang would gain from this trip to the Jedi, he was not surprised by the commendation given to Long Xiang by the Chinese Jedi Guard Headquarters. Who made Long Xiang's father, Long Tingxi, the chief envoy of the Chinese Jedi Guard?
Woolen cloth.
The one closest to the water and the tower gets the moon first, this has been the truth since ancient times.
Chu Tianshu asked himself, if he was allowed to sit in that position, he would definitely give priority to promoting and appointing people close to him.
The selfish side of human nature exists at all times, and whoever knows the people around them better will feel more at ease when the people around them use it.
Therefore, Chu Tianshu did not feel unbalanced at all.
Moreover, Chu Tianshu had no hope of receiving an award from China this time.
The most important thing is that for Chu Tianshu, during this desperate trip, he found his mother and grandfather, and successfully brought his mother back to China. This is his greatest reward, and it cannot be compared with any award.
Moreover, he also had an unexpected surprise, that is, he successfully broke through to the first level of Zi Yan.
No matter how he calculated it, Chu Tianshu felt that he would gain more from this journey to the Jedi than Long Xiang.
Not noticing any change in Chu Tianshu's expression, Xie Shuqing's eyes flickered slightly.
Long Xiang sighed and said, "Mother, Brother Chu destroyed the altar. Not only did I not help, I even caused a lot of trouble for everyone because of my misjudgment when we went to destroy the altar for the first time.
, so I really deserve the commendation from the headquarters.”
He looked at Xie Shuqing and said firmly: "I can't accept it."
"I knew you would say that."
Xie Shuqing smiled and continued: "But how can the Jedi guard the big plan, how can it be a child's play?
The headquarters made this decision after many weighings. Besides, isn't your greatest wish just to contribute to China?
Only by standing taller can you do more for China, just like your father did."
Long Xiang still frowned and said nothing.
Xie Shuqing said again: "Girl Ya, if she sees you sitting in this position, she will be very happy."
Long Xiang pondered for a moment and then said, "Mother, let me think about it again."
Xie Shuqing said: "You can think about it yourself, we will not force you to make a decision."
Long Xiang nodded and said, "Thank you, mother."
"By the way, there is something. I wonder if you have got the news."
Xie Shuqing looked at Chu Tianshu and said, "Your Chu family is in some trouble."
Chu Tianshu's eyes narrowed slightly: "What's the trouble?"
"you do not know?"
Xie Shuqing looked surprised, "Dongfang Qingyun united with Bei Yousong and Nangong Hehe to attack your Chu family and threatened to divide the Chu family and Qiao family. It is said that there are already families in Beidu who have turned to them, and...
"
Having said this, Xie Shuqing hesitated.
Chu Tianshu smiled: "Madam, just say it, it's okay."
Xie Shuqing said in a deep voice: "Dongfang Qingyun also announced to the outside world that he wants to get involved with your wife."
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Chu Tianshu's mouth, he gritted his teeth and said: "Very good... both of them are very talented..."
Long Xiang frowned and said, "Why did Xiao Song get together with Dongfang Qingyun?"
Xie Shuqing said: "The piece of cake from the Chu family is not small, and it is normal for his eyes to be hot."
Long Xiang snorted coldly: "It's simply outrageous."
He looked at Xie Shuqing and said, "Mother, can you please ask father to come forward and stop them?"
Xie Shuqing raised his eyebrows: "This..."
Before she could say anything else, Chu Tianshu said, "Don't bother Mr. Long, I can handle this matter myself."
With that said, he stood up.
Long Xiang stood up immediately: "Brother Chu, are you going back to Beidu?
I'll go with you. It's hard to tell between Dongfang Qingyun and Nangong Hehuan, but I have a pretty good relationship with Bei Yousong. If I come forward, Bei Yousong should give me some face."
Chu Tianshu shook his head: "Master Long's face is more valuable than their lives."
Hearing this, Long Xiang felt a strong murderous intention.
Xie Shuqing said: "Don't be too anxious. I heard that the ultimatum they gave is tomorrow at noon."
Chu Tianshu said: "Then I will rest in Guibao for one more night and return to Beidu early tomorrow morning."
Xie Shuqing chuckled and said: "That's right. How can you tell who is a friend and who is an enemy until the last moment?"
Long Xiang frowned, thinking deeply.
Chu Tianshu stretched his body: "Then I will go back to the room first, and Madam and Young Master Long will also have a rest early."
Xie Shuqing stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
Chu Tianshu said hurriedly: "No need."
Long Xiang said: "Mother, let me see Young Master Chu off."
Xie Shuqing smiled: "I still have some things I want to talk to Mr. Chu."
