Leng Qiufeng has never felt that life has been so easy.
With Cui Xinbi's support, the operating efficiency of the entire branch has greatly increased, and the time he spends on official duties has been greatly reduced.
Moreover, Cui Xinbi always invites him to have dinner with him in the name of gratitude. The top-notch spiritual food makes his cultivation particularly smooth, and his cultivation has grown much faster recently.
Not long after, Master Cui actually reduced the offerings by another 20%. This way, there would be enough funds to rebuild the streets and repair the city defense array.
Leng Qiufeng was filled with gratitude to Cui Xinbi, and said to Lu Aoshuang privately: "I really have to thank Junior Sister Cui this time. She has been busy these days, helped a lot, and solved all the problems. I always felt that she was too pampered in the past.
, I guess it’s our prejudice. Well, I’ll take on a big mission in a while, and I’ll take her to show off her military exploits!”
Lu Aoshuang forced a smile: "I have to thank her properly."
After hesitating for a moment, she added: "How about I take her to practice her military exploits next time? It's always you who goes. It would delay her cultivation too much."
"It's okay, I also need military achievements, so you can sit in the branch hall." After Leng Qiufeng finished speaking, he thought about the future, "I thought these few years would be very difficult, but now with the help of Junior Sister Cui, life is very easy. If all
If that’s the case, why do we need to leave?”
Hearing what he said, Lu Aoshuang became very wary and stared at him and said, "Junior brother, don't you want to leave?"
Leng Qiufeng replied: "Of course I want to leave. These people only care about Junior Sister Cui's face, and they don't really respect me."
Lu Aoshuang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he knew.
Unexpectedly, Leng Qiufeng said next: "Actually, it's good to stay, so that you don't have to leave the family. Xuanyan Sect has your teachers and relatives, and the sect is very good to you. There will be no harm in staying."
.It’s just because of me…”
"Of course not!" Lu Aoshuang interrupted him, "Who said it would be good for me to stay? I am not happy at all in Xuanyan Sect! The Lu family only values me because of my high cultivation, they have never really cared about me!
"
Leng Qiufeng didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and was stunned for a moment: "Senior sister..."
Lu Aoshuang came back to her senses, calmed down her emotions, and said sincerely: "Junior brother, I have always wanted to leave here with you and live a life for the two of us."
Leng Qiufeng nodded: "I understand, since this is also your goal, then we will leave as planned."
Lu Aoshuang smiled: "Well, let's work hard together."
In the guest room, Ling Bufei quietly withdrew his consciousness and shared the situation with Bai Mengjin.
——After the demonic energy in his body disappeared, he was able to partially use his spiritual transformation skills. He was better than the Nascent Soul monks in terms of breathing, and he was suitable for such work as surveillance.
"Let me tell you, if Miss Cui wakes up early and tries her best to be nice to him, she might really be able to succeed. Look, Miss Lu is feeling in danger."
Bai Mengjin nodded: "I didn't expect that Miss Cui would be so clever after being parasitized by the dream demon."
She didn't say it clearly, she just wanted to show her kindness. Leng Qiufeng had a pure mind and didn't think about anything else. On the contrary, Lu Aoshuang was provoked. If she couldn't hold herself steady, wouldn't there be opportunities for him to take advantage of it?
"Leng Qiufeng is a gentleman, and he is very polite in his words and deeds."
Bai Mengjin said yes. This was the reason why she dared to do this. If she really broke them up, it would be a big sin.
"What are you two talking about?" The door next to him opened and Ning Yanzhi walked out.
He looked at Ling Bufei, then at Bai Mengjin, and said thoughtfully: "You seem to be hiding something from me?"
After saying this, Ling Bufei said in a narrow voice: "What, Ning Xianjun wants to listen to our private words? Isn't this not good?"
Ning Yanzhi was not that thick-skinned, so he coughed and replied: "Aren't you two talking privately? I thought I heard you talking about fellow Daoist Leng just now."
He was quite perceptive. Ling Bufei looked to the side and asked with his eyes: Do you want to tell me?
Bai Mengjin thought for a moment and nodded.
Ning Yanzhi is right, everyone has the same purpose and can share their needs.
So Ling Bufei turned back and recounted what happened in the past few days.
Ning Yanzhi didn't expect that they had found the dream demon, and couldn't help but said: "You two moved so fast, are you sure it's Miss Cui?"
"It's absolutely true." Ling Bufei replied, "I feel it."
After having the experience of slaying the demon that day, Ning Yanzhi believed it. He frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. If something happens to Miss Cui, it will be difficult for Master Cui to explain."
"But the dream demon has already found her, what can be done?" Ling Bufei said, "Since Ning Xianjun is so worried, then I leave the tracking to you?"
------------------
Women are naturally keen on this kind of thing. When Leng Qiufeng was unaware, Lu Aoshuang was already convinced that Cui Xinbi did it on purpose.
This made her alert and confused. We have been sisters for decades, and she thought she knew Cui Xinbi's temperament very well.
Miss Cui looks cold and arrogant and is difficult to get along with, but she is actually quite soft-hearted. It is not her style to fight for love even though she knows that they have committed to each other for life.
But with the matter before her, she couldn't help but not believe it.
At this point, she could only hope that time would pass faster and that Leng Qiufeng would leave here as soon as possible.
After calming down her mood, Lu Aoshuang took the food box and went to deliver snacks to Leng Qiufeng.
As soon as she approached the council hall, she heard a voice coming from inside.
"Senior Brother Leng, in terms of qualifications, you are the best among us, and in terms of ability, you are no worse than others. Looking at Tianyou City, it is so prosperous under your management, I think it will be good for you to succeed as the head in the future.
of."
Leng Qiufeng was surprised: "Why would Junior Sister Cui think so? There is no way I can be the leader."
Cui Xinbi asked: "Why is it impossible? Others are not as good as you."
"I..." Leng Qiufeng's tone was helpless, wondering if Junior Sister Cui didn't know his situation in the sect? This is something everyone knows.
"The master will not pass on me." He explained, "I know what happened to my father, right? I am a guilty person."
"But those are not your crimes." Cui Xinbi said, "I know many people are prejudiced against you, but you have done enough for the Xuanyan Sect over the years, which is enough to prove your loyalty to the sect."
Leng Qiufeng was silent for a moment, wondering if he was touched. In the end, he just shook his head and repeated the words: "The leader will not pass the throne to me."
"Don't worry about that." Cui Xinbi said immediately, "I'll convince my dad. Although my dad is stubborn, he's not unreasonable. I'll tell him slowly and one day he will understand you."
Leng Qiufeng was lying when he said he wasn't moved. Except for Lu Aoshuang, no one had ever trusted him so much and thought he was suitable to be the leader. He had not received this kind of recognition in Xuanyan Sect for decades.
"Junior Sister Cui, thank you." He said sincerely, "But I don't want to be the leader."
"No, no, no," Cui Xinbi said immediately, "You don't want to be one because you have encountered so many injustices in the past. I will help you with these things, and you will not be ignored again in the future. Senior Brother Leng, you believe me."
Leng Qiufeng was not able to explain to her that he was planning to leave, so he could only respond vaguely: "Yeah."
Outside the hall, Lu Aoshuang's heart suddenly sank.
