After returning from Chunfeng Tower, Leng Qiufeng continued to be busy with official duties.
His time is very crowded. God bless such a big fairy city, and there are so many things to manage, and there are also connections like Cui Shijiu who only take benefits but do not work. If he wants to practice, he can only squeeze out his time.
Then, he had to find time to take on the mission from the Immortal Alliance and help Cui Xinbi earn battle merits before he could save some for himself.
Last time, he was away for more than a month in order to catch the demon who only had space ability, which caused a mountain of affairs in Tianyou City. When he just came back, he encountered the dream demon causing trouble again. It can be predicted that the rest of the time will be very busy.
He was busy, tired, and still suffering from anger, but he had no choice. He could only tell himself to endure it a little longer. Junior Sister Cui was about to give birth to a baby, and she would be relieved soon.
Today, as before, he finished practicing in the house, took a short rest, and then went to the front to handle official duties.
But it was strange. As soon as I approached the council hall, there was a sound coming from inside.
Is it Senior Sister Lu? No, she will help him deal with peripheral matters, but will not interfere in official affairs that require decision-making.
Leng Qiufeng walked in and was shocked to find Cui Xinbi sitting there.
"Lord."
"Lord."
When the officials saw it, they all saluted.
"Senior Brother Leng." Cui Xinbi smiled slightly, stood up and offered her seat, "I've sorted out the official affairs for the past few days, can you see if you can do it?"
"Oh, okay." Leng Qiufeng sat down, still a little confused. He took the official document from Cui Xinbi and looked at it carefully. He found that she had organized it very well, and he couldn't help but be impressed.
"In the past, when my father was busy, I would also help with housework. Actually, it's not much different." Cui Xinbi took the initiative to explain.
Leng Qiufeng smiled and nodded: "Junior sister Cui is really capable."
Seeing that Cui Xinbi had no intention of leaving, he continued to deal with it. Anyway, she was the daughter of the head of the clan, so there was nothing she couldn't know.
After reading the next official document, Leng Qiufeng frowned: "Didn't I say that the family members of the deceased should be compensated? Why are there still people suing?"
A steward smiled and replied: "Master, we have paid the pension, but the warehouse is empty. This month's offerings have not been paid yet, so we can only spend so much money!"
"You only have ten spiritual stones per person, how can you let those orphans and widows survive?" Leng Qiufeng was displeased, "At least collect a hundred spiritual stones and arrange an errand."
"Master, I really can't get it out." The manager bit him to death, "We have to build roads and rebuild houses, so we can't spare any money!"
"That's right! It's not easy to arrange errands. We're all in trouble, where can we arrange them?" Another steward also said.
Leng Qiufeng has become accustomed to the uncooperation of the stewards, who have to put in a lot of effort every time. They don't want to pay, and to put it bluntly, they don't want to take responsibility. If they don't make enough to make offerings to the sect, they will most likely be fined.
When he was about to speak, Cui Xinbi suddenly spoke: "Tianyou City is an important source of our Xuanyan Sect's wealth. If you are too harsh on the people in the city, how can they have a sense of belonging? This is something that will shake the foundation. If you don't provide adequate compensation,
, if it causes dissatisfaction among the people, I will tell my father."
The faces of the bosses changed. They were not afraid of the cold autumn wind, but they were afraid of Cui Xinbi. They hurriedly said: "Miss, calm down, let's... squeeze in a little more, and we will definitely not miss the important thing."
"Yes, yes, it's an errand. I mean, aren't they building roads recently? Let them do some work within their ability, so that they can at least have something to eat."
So Leng Qiufeng didn't use any force at all, and the matter was settled just like that.
He was a little uncomfortable, so he smiled gratefully at Cui Xinbi and moved on to the next official task.
The whole morning passed like this, and the official documents that Leng Qiufeng thought would take two or three days to process were easily cleared out.
After the bosses retreated, he hesitated and said, "Junior sister Cui, thank you for today. But is it taking up too much of your time? Actually, you don't have to bother. I have a way to make them relax..."
"It just takes some effort, doesn't it?" Cui Xinbi took over, "Senior Brother Leng, your time is so precious, how can you waste it? For me, it's just sitting and talking a few words, which is really not worth it.
Troublesome."
Leng Qiufeng couldn't help but be grateful for her kindness. He used to think that Junior Sister Cui was like an immature child, but he was wrong. In fact, she was very kind.
"By the way, I wrote a letter to my father. I can't blame Senior Brother Leng for what happened to the Dream Demon a few days ago. On the contrary, Senior Brother had a lot of credit for being able to quickly eliminate the Dream Demon. I've asked about it, and the Dream Demon was destroyed before.
There are several small towns, and many monks are unable to do anything about them. If it weren't for my senior brother, God Bless City would also suffer."
If he was grateful before, Leng Qiufeng was moved now: "What if Junior Sister Cui is reprimanded for causing me harm, how can I feel sorry for myself?"
Cui Xinbi smiled and said: "Senior Brother Leng has worked hard for the sect, so I'm sorry for you to take the blame for no reason. My father asked me to come to the branch, and I should tell him what I saw and heard, so as not to let him be deceived. No matter what the reason is.
My father and I should do this for the Xuanyan Sect, so Senior Brother Leng doesn’t have to take it to heart."
What he said made Leng Qiufeng anxious, thinking that Junior Sister Cui is really kind and considerate. I had misunderstood her before.
"By the way, I asked the kitchen to prepare some food. Why don't you, senior brother, share some with me? You have a lot to do, so you need to replenish your energy. We can also talk about the things to come later."
Leng Qiufeng had no reason to refuse: "Okay, then I will take advantage of Junior Sister Cui."
Master Cui loves his daughter very much. Cui Xinbi lives in a branch hall and has his own cook. He also buys spiritual food separately.
When Lu Aoshuang came over with the food box, this was what he saw. The two of them were eating and talking, with smiles on their faces, looking very harmonious.
"Junior Brother, Junior Sister Cui?" She almost thought she had seen it wrong.
"Senior sister." Leng Qiufeng stood up happily, "You are here."
"Senior Sister Lu." Cui Xinbi's eyes paused on the food box in her hand, and she suddenly realized, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you two had an appointment."
Lu Aoshuang smiled slightly: "Junior sister Cui, we don't have an appointment, it's just my whim, so I won't disturb you, right?"
"How could it be?" Cui Xinbi laughed and said, "Then let's go together! The more people, the better."
Leng Qiufeng nodded: "Yes, together!"
A strange feeling flashed through Lu Aoshuang's heart. One of them spoke and the other responded, just like a family.
But she couldn't refuse and replied: "Okay."
As soon as she sat down, Lu Aoshuang wanted to ask a few questions about what happened in the morning. Before she could open her mouth, Cui Xinbi had already spoken: "By the way, Senior Brother Leng, are the repair materials for the city defense array ready? I recognize the Zhou family of the Seven Star Gate.
An uncle, you can buy materials from him, and you might get a good price."
Leng Qiufeng is having a headache over this matter. Now that the Dream Demon has done this, God Bless City's accounts are in dire straits and they are short of money!
"Really?" he said happily, "What price can I get? Junior Sister Cui, it's great that you can help."
The two of them were deeply involved in the conversation, and Lu Aoshuang didn't say a word.
