As the miserable howls of the more than ten Yunxiufang monks gradually faded away, it began to rain heavily in the main city of Sihai Pavilion.
Before the more than 20 foreign women were taken away, they each knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Wang a few times, and then were taken to be temporarily resettled outside the city.
In the sky and on the earth, on rooftops and streets, a young man and woman wearing flame armor stood quietly, with a very calm face revealed behind the visor.
The group of cultivators from the Mie Sect lined up behind Wu Wan and stood quietly;
Yang Wudi grabbed two big umbrellas on the left and right to protect Wu Wan and Huo Ling sitting in front of them from the rain.
Huo Ling didn't seem to like talking, and Wu Huan had no intention of speaking.
The fire dragon transformed from the ocher whip has flown aside and is lying on the eaves, seemingly enjoying the ordinary rain.
Wu Huan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he muttered a few words to the great elder, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the great elder accepted the order, and swept the group of sect-killing monks away with the black wind.
"Sir," Huo Ling said, "can you lead an army well?"
Wu Wu replied: "Not good."
"Yeah," Huo Ling nodded slightly, seeming to be secretly relieved.
[Your Majesty’s mission to chat with Little Golden Dragon was successfully accomplished! 】
Everyone had to wait, Wu Wan took out a jade slip, read the spiritual insights recorded on it, and understood his own path to the stars.
Wu Huan also didn't expect that he would have to stay in Sihai Pavilion for more than ten days.
The Human Realm is so big that even if a group of immortals activate the sky-control magic weapon, it will still take a lot of time to travel.
Half a day after Wu Wang and his party arrived here, a large number of immortals from the Ji family arrived.
Several of Zimo's aunts and uncles pointed at the group of pavilion elders and yelled, but the latter did not dare to speak back.
Immediately afterwards, several large ships of the Po Ri Sect stopped on the horizon. Le Yao led a group of old demons and rushed to the Sihai Pavilion. When they saw the sleeping Zimo, they almost cried.
When she was sure that her husband was safe and sound, but that he needed to be carefully nursed back to health in the past six months and would not be able to have sex, she was relieved.
People safe is good.
Then, the fierceness in Le Yao's bones came out in the heavy rain.
She rushed to Wu Juan with her short sword in hand, letting the heavy rain wet her long hair, and stared at Wu Juan with cold eyes.
Just a little bit away, Wu Wan couldn't help but summon his own golden armor to protect himself...
Le Yao said: "If brother still recognizes me as his sister-in-law, you can punish me with lynching indiscriminately afterwards, or you can turn a blind eye later. If you want to kill the culprit of my husband, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"
"
"Brothers and sisters, please be patient and don't be impatient. Please be patient and do not be impatient."
Wu Wang said: "Lin Qi has led people to arrest everyone in Yunxiufang. I will not give them a way to survive. If you want to vent your anger, go and write a letter now to apply for employment in the Penal Hall. I will approve it for you immediately.
.”
"Thank you, brother."
Le Yao cupped his fists and raised his hands, and walked away heroically; beside him, there was an old demon from Po Ri Sect who opened the barrier and set up tables, chairs and benches.
Huo Ling glanced at Le Yao, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"She's nice."
"Um."
Wu Wan lowered his head and looked at his book, showing no intention of talking to Huo Ling.
When the heavy rain cleared up, Jimo was already in full swing. Wu Wan went over to chat with him for a few words without disturbing his legal closeness with Le Yao.
For Zimmer, although the process was somewhat tortuous, the investigation into Yunxiufang was successfully completed.
In this way, another half day passed.
A large number of shuttles came from the north, bringing with them men and women dressed in long robes and underskirts, at least thousands of them, all of whom were 'civil servants' in Renhuang Pavilion.
Wu Wan took the initiative to greet him outside the city and said a few words of encouragement.
The thousand literary immortals accepted the order in unison, bowed to Wu Wan, and, escorted by a large group of Emperor Yan's imperial guards, poured into the tall building behind the old pavilion master Feng.
The big audit of Sihai Pavilion has begun.
Zhi Mo volunteered to join the audit team.
Wu Wang originally thought that he couldn't stand such boredom, but he didn't expect that Zhi Mo actually sat still, one person doing the job for seven or eight people.
Obviously, Mr. Ji felt a little guilty because of such a big scene, and wanted to do something within his power...
Hundreds of deacons in Sihai Pavilion were allowed to move, and under the supervision of Emperor Yan's guards, they sent each jade charm and roll of cloth to the main building.
For a time, there was a bit of hustle and bustle in Sihai Pavilion. People were moving around inside the high-rise building, and lights were flowing outside the high-rise building.
The fourth day when Wu Wang and his party arrived at Sihai Pavilion.
One after another, shuttles and ships flew from the sky. Lin Qi took several transcendent realm masters and fell directly into the big city of Sihai Pavilion.
Lin Jiaqing returned with a great victory in the suppression of Yunxiufang!
Lin Qi was in high spirits. He stood up straight in front of Wu Wan and lowered his head to salute:
"Returning to the teacher, all thirteen Yunxiu Fangs were eradicated, and one chief Yunxiu Fang owner, three deputy owners, thirty-six deacons, and the rest were arrested, totaling more than 1,620 people.
More than 2,000 foreigners were rescued, including more than 1,800 women and more than 200 men.
According to the preliminary interrogation, it is estimated that there are thousands of Yunxiufang people operating in Jiuye, and they will not be captured in the near future."
Wu Wan was sitting in a wooden chair, with his legs crossed and a volume of "Treasure Refining" on his lap, and said with a smile:
"well done."
Lin Qi, who was tense at first, almost laughed out loud.
"Start the interrogation just outside the city," Wu Huan looked at an attic not far away, where Elder Miao and Su Qing were drinking tea.
Wu laughed and said, "If you can't find any useful confession, just ask Elder Miao to come forward."
Lin Qi said: "Disciple, try not to disturb Elder Miao!"
"Hey, we'll go too later!"
Xing Tian jumped out from a restaurant not far away, carrying two large jars of wine, and complained dissatisfiedly as he walked:
"I thought there was going to be a fight here, but in the end I just sat there, boring, very boring."
Wu Wan couldn't help but smile, but he didn't explain much.
It's not that easy.
Even His Majesty the Emperor is reluctant to touch this difficult problem of Sihai Pavilion.
On the one hand, Sihai Pavilion does shoulder the mission of gathering the treasures of the Nine Wilds, and it is extremely important to the human domain now.
The Heavenly Palace has been in conflict with the human realm for many years, constantly consuming the 'resources' of the human realm with waves of ferocious beasts. Sihai Pavilion is said to be the lifeblood of the human realm, and it deserves its title.
On the other hand, today the Palace is gradually launching an attack, and the Human Realm should be united. Attacking a 'hero' like Sihai Pavilion will indeed easily cause turmoil in people's hearts.
[How to eradicate the cancer in the Sihai Pavilion without affecting the normal operation of the Sihai Pavilion, and minimize the internal turmoil in the human domain, is the test question that Senior Shen Nong gave Wu Wan this time. 】
It’s quite tricky;
It’s also quite troublesome.
But Wu Wang has already embarked on this road, and he can only go to the dark side.
Either he completely suppressed the forces of Old Pavilion Master Feng of the Sihai Pavilion to death, or he was forced by these 'heroes' to go to His Majesty the Human Emperor to read a book, and then he returned to the Mie Sect and became the sect leader.
think carefully……
Hey, success or failure doesn't matter.
Huo Ling suddenly asked: "If there is no problem in checking the accounts, but are there some other charges?"
Wu Wan looked at Huo Ling in surprise, with a little confusion in his eyes.
Huo Ling said: "Your Majesty has an order. A war is imminent. Sihai Pavilion cannot have two pavilion masters."
"Understood."
Wu Wan slowly uttered these three words, looked down at the books in front of him, and pondered slightly in his heart.
Being a human emperor requires ruthlessness as expected.
He said in a voice: "Lord Huo Ling, don't worry, I conclude that there is something wrong with the team of the old Sihai Pavilion master."
Huo Ling nodded slightly, followed Wu Wang's example and sat with his legs crossed, and said, "As long as you are prepared, sir."
Prepare?
Wu Wan couldn't help but feel happy, what preparation could he have?
Before coming to Sihai Pavilion, I was still struggling with how to handle Qiongqi Wings to achieve the ultimate deliciousness.
"Let's take a step and see."
Huo Ling couldn't help but frown.
Half a day later, the interrogation at Yunxiufang came to a conclusion. The number of pavilion elders related to Yunxiufang increased to more than 20 people, and most of them stood behind Pavilion Master Feng.
It was just a dagger, Wu Wan didn't throw it out in a hurry.
Another few days of waiting.
Many of the deacons of the Sihai Pavilion have collapsed, and the vast majority of the immortal soldiers of the Sihai Pavilion are listless.
Many people have gathered outside the city.
Dozens of generals, led by the Lin family and the Ji family, each have their envoys here;
Renhuang Pavilion also mobilized a large number of immortal soldiers, ready to listen to Wu Wan's orders at any time.
At this moment, everyone's eyes have fallen on Wu Wan's back, with doubts, confusion, and expectations.
The thirteenth day when Wu Wang arrived at Sihai Pavilion.
After several days of continuous rain, the sky cleared up, and rays of sunshine shone on the streets and alleys of Sihai Treasure City, shining on the face of a Sihai Pavilion Immortal with a tired look.
The flame armor on the Emperor Yan's Imperial Guards is even more shining.
Zhi Mo came quickly, lowered his head and handed a jade talisman to Wu Wan.
Maybe Zimmer had been at his desk reviewing the accounts for too long. Maybe the results he got at this time were far different from what he expected. Zimmer's face was a little pale, and there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Ji Mo whispered: "Brother Wuwang... Palace Master, the accounts for the past thousand years have been basically corrected. The inputs and outputs, and the losses over the years have been reconciled. There seems to be nothing unusual."
These are the accounts we found that didn't match up, but they're not enough to hold him accountable."
Wu Wan took the jade talisman and looked at the dense numbers inside, his expression still very calm.
Everyone here is a monk, and Zhi Mo's words have already spread everywhere.
There was deathly silence inside and outside the city.
Huo Ling also pursed his lips and frowned, his expression a little sluggish.
"Tsk, hahaha!"
Behind Pavilion Master Feng, an old man with gray hair laughed a few times.
This is the deputy master of the Sihai Pavilion named Zhao, and his smile at this moment is full of desolation.
He raised his head and sighed: "I have worked hard for the Human Realm for more than ten thousand years, but what I got was the bullying from the yellow-mouthed kid!"
"Master Wuwang!"
Behind Pavilion Master Feng, another Pavilion Master stood up, this time it was an old woman.
The old woman pointed at Wu Wan and said in a trembling voice:
"You are Little Golden Dragon, a hot new talent in the Human Realm today, the Master of the Punishment Hall that Master Liu of the Renhuang Pavilion relies on, and you are also widely rumored to be the next successor to the Human Emperor.
I shouldn't have offended you, but you went too far this time!
Under the guise of Yunxiufang, you secretly plan to control Sihai Pavilion! What is your intention!"
What a big hat.
Another pavilion elder sneered and said: "Pavilion Master Wuwu, let's end this matter. At least you should bow to the old pavilion master and say that you are offended.
The old Pavilion Master has followed His Majesty for tens of thousands of years. He has traveled up and down the Four Seas Pavilion, inside and outside the human domain. Who doesn’t respect the Old Pavilion Master?
Not letting you kneel down and admit your mistake is enough to give you face."
Lin Qi scolded: "Who do you want to admit their mistake?"
Zhi Mo also said: "What? Renhuang Pavilion is in charge of the internal affairs of the human domain. It is natural to come here to check the accounts. What is wrong?"
Behind Wu Wang, a pavilion elder who followed Feng Yezi said solemnly: "The Renhuang Pavilion came to supervise the Sihai Pavilion so that the Sihai Pavilion can do better for the human domain."
Someone behind Pavilion Master Feng said with a smile: "What? Are you starting to fawn over now?"
"I'm afraid the Master of Wuwang Palace must be responsible for this matter. Our Sihai Pavilion has been suspended for half a month, and people's hearts are floating. How much damage has this caused to the human domain!"
"Isn't the Yunxiufang incident embarrassing enough? Do we have to force the Master of Wuwang Hall to announce this matter to the public?"
"Yunxiufang took advantage of the Sihai Pavilion, but when the matter was revealed, they wanted to bite back the pavilion elders who had targeted them in the past. These scum are known to traffic in the creatures of hundreds of races, and even their own race. Can you trust their words?"
"alright!"
when!
The crutch in Old Pavilion Master Feng's hand gently tapped the ground, and his energy turned into a strong wind that swept in all directions, causing the two Pavilion Masters who were about to quarrel to silence themselves at the same time.
Pavilion Master Feng, who had not moved all this time, slowly stood up, looked at Wu Wan, and said calmly:
"Junior, get up and admit your mistake."
Wu Wan's crossed legs did not fall down.
At this moment, figures were standing in front of the windows all over the tall building, watching this scene.
Inside and outside the city, a large number of Emperor Yan's guards were watching this scene.
Dozens of generals and envoys, a large number of foreign women, and tens of thousands of immortal soldiers from the Renhuang Pavilion all watched this scene.
There are dark clouds rolling in the sky, and the muffled thunder is constantly trembling.
Wu Wan sighed softly, pressed the armrest of the seat, and slowly stood up.
The fire dragon lying on the eaves swam over and surrounded Wu Huan. The dragon's head rested on Wu Huan's shoulder and looked at the old Pavilion Master Feng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Teacher!" Lin Qi whispered, "They must have forged the accounts! The accounts of Sihai Pavilion were all done by themselves before!"
Wu Wan raised his hand to signal Lin Qi not to say more, put his hands behind his back, and took a step forward.
"grandmother!"
With a shout, Youdao's small figure rose and fell from the roof on the side, opened his hands, and stood in front of Wu Wan.
Dongfang Mumu.
She looked at Pavilion Master Feng, with a bit of determination in her big eyes, and whispered: "The question is correct, you know! Isn't it good to end this matter?"
"Back off."
There was a hint of impatience in Mr. Feng Laoge's eyes, "You have been mentally damaged by the calamity. Don't make trouble here."
Mu Daxian said angrily: "Am I causing trouble? Do you want me to reveal what they did one by one?"
"nonsense!"
"Okay Mu Mu," Wu Wan suddenly said, "You have nothing to do here, go and play with Su Qing."
Dongfang Mumu turned to look at Wu Wan, "But..."
Wu Wang said: "Su Qing."
Lin Suqing braced herself and came from the side, picked up Dongfang Mumu and quickly moved away.
Wu said with a smile: "Mu Daxian is my good friend, and I don't want her to be involved in this, let alone her enmity with the ancestors and grandsons of Pavilion Master Feng. The righteousness in her heart cannot be broken by the catastrophe.
"
After saying this, Wu Wan slowly lowered his head and lowered his body.
Just when everyone thought he was going to bow and apologize, he squatted on the ground, casually tapped a button on the ground, picked up a stone slab, and slowly stood up.
"I don't even dare to be so extravagant about paving the streets with fine turquoise."
Pavilion Master Feng said calmly: "What do you want to say, Master Wuwu? Just say it bluntly."
"I want to say... Great Elder!"
Boom——
The clouds exploded with thunder, and a strong wind arose in the city.
The Great Elder was dressed in blood-clothed clothes and appeared behind Wu Wan with dozens of sect-killing strong men. Each of them took out one or two spirit-storing magic weapons and poured out numerous figures.
Wu Wan shouted firmly: "Pull them up!"
"Here!"
Hundreds of Emperor Yan's imperial guards swarmed up, picked up the trembling low-level monks, and dragged them to the main street in front of Wu Wan and Pavilion Master Feng.
At this moment, Pavilion Chief Feng had some doubts in his eyes, but several pavilion elders behind her thought of something. Their legs were trembling, their whole body was shaking slightly, and they could hardly stand still.
"do you know it?"
Wu Wang put his hands behind his back and walked forward step by step, "Who are these people?"
Pavilion Master Feng said calmly: "How do I know?"
"I don't know?" Wu Wan casually mentioned a middle-aged man in rich clothes, "Tell this old pavilion master, who are you?"
The man couldn't stop trembling, and all the magic power in his body was almost destroyed by Wu Wang's mention.
He hurriedly said: "My dear, I am the general manager of the Xu mining team of the large caravan in the last chapter. I specialize in the Sixth Route of the West Sea. My Lord, I am mainly engaged in the West Wild Mine..."
"Bring out your latest ledger."
"yes."
He took out a jade charm from his sleeve and held it tremblingly in Wu Wan's hand.
Wu Wan picked it up, took a look at it, and added: "It's not an account for unloading, it's an account for receiving goods."
"This, this," the middle-aged man's tongue was a little tangled, "Sir, this is the account, really this is the account!"
Yang Wudi yelled at the side: "You are blind! This person in front of you is the master of the Punishment Hall of Renhuang Pavilion! If you are even half-hearted, it will be a serious crime for your clan!"
"This, this, this...I..."
Wu Huan let go of the man's shoulders, and the man immediately knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff and with a purple face. The position Wu Huan was standing at this moment just blocked his view of the elders behind Pavilion Master Feng.
The great elder even pointed out a finger, eliminating the possibility of anyone else saying anything about this person.
Wu Wan looked at the old pavilion master Feng and said calmly: "I told you to let you live."
"Sir! The villain has a second account! The villain's receipt account is here!"
This man took out several jade charms from his sleeves, but because his hands were shaking, he was a little unsteady in holding them.
Wu Wang raised his hand to take the picture, looked at it carefully for a few times, and couldn't help but close his eyes.
His voice was filled with anger:
"Come here, collect the accounts! Collect all the accounts from these caravan managers and compare them one by one with the accounts of Sihai Pavilion!"
Hundreds of guards responded loudly, but several pavilion elders could not stand firmly and fell to the wet ground.
The roaring above the head started again, and now all the creatures in the city were frightened.
The caravan people cried and begged:
"Sir! Our caravan is just following orders. These are what the people above told us to do!"
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
"We are only responsible for transporting things back. We have no idea where they went, sir!"
Amid the pleas for mercy, a large number of jade charms were sent into the tall building.
Wu Wan took the jade charms in his hand and walked slowly forward towards the old pavilion master Feng. He threw the jade charms in his hand directly at her feet, making a few jingling sounds.
"I never understood before that since Sihai Pavilion controls all trade routes in the human domain, why those unique treasure mines, treasure materials, and elixirs from outside the territory are circulated on some black markets, and how can they appear in some towns.
There is no such part in Sihai Pavilion’s accounts, right?
Do you still need me to send someone to check outside?
senior?"
Pavilion Master Feng closed his eyes and sighed softly, saying: "My lord, do you think this is wrong?"
Wu Wan was not angry but smiled: "Do you think this is right?"
Master Feng said: "It is true that some people are greedy, but they have also contributed to the human realm. What they have given to the human realm is much more than what they have been greedy for!"
Wu laughed twice, his smile full of helplessness.
"These few words of Pavilion Master Feng are simply heart-wrenching words.
What do you think in your heart when you ask those immortals to do their duties peacefully?
What do you think in your heart when you let those of your compatriots die in battle on the border?
If the armor on their bodies could be a little thicker, and if the magic weapons in their hands could be a little bit better, would they have a better chance of survival?
You feel that your subordinates have made outstanding contributions to the human domain, and it is okay to be greedy. Then why don't you think about it, if you let other people here, they may not be as good as your subordinates.
They can do better than your subordinates!"
Pavilion Master Feng's eyes showed anger and he said firmly: "You are simply arrogant!"
hold head high--
The fire dragon head on Wu Wang's shoulder suddenly sprang out, became three feet in diameter, and roared angrily at Feng Laoge!
The latter's legs actually felt weak, and even the master of the extraordinary realm was a little unsteady on his feet at this moment.
Wu Wang spitted and cursed fiercely:
"It's you who is arrogant!
Stop telling me about black cats and white cats, and don’t talk about capable ministers regardless of integrity or corruption! Who can you scare with this rhetoric?
The great rat of the domain! What a serious problem it is!
No wonder His Majesty sent the imperial guards without saying a word and asked me to make a big fuss over the Yunxiufang incident. He saw it! He saw it all!
do you know?
The old man's clothing, food, housing and transportation are so simple, but he has to guard the border all year round, fighting against the Heavenly Palace and guarding the gate of the human realm!
what about you?
Forming cliques for personal gain! Hold your power and respect yourself! You are sucking the blood of the human realm!
The grains used in exchange for treasure materials were grown grain by grain by mortals in the human realm! Those treasure materials transported back are to be used on the edge of the sword and used to extend the lives of the human realm!"
"His Majesty……"
The old pavilion master's eyes were a little cloudy and his figure was shaky.
"I have never been greedy for ink, I have never been greedy for ink!"
Like a drowning person grabbing a straw, she pushed out her banned storage magic weapon and said in a trembling voice:
"I am devoted to Your Majesty and the human domain, and I have never been greedy for ink!"
"Do you think it's the money you're greedy for?"
Wu Wan closed his eyes and took a breath. The fire dragon had wandered from his shoulders and surrounded the old woman.
He gritted his teeth and cursed:
"You are the most greedy one in Sihai Pavilion. What you are greedy for is power, authority, and the pleasure of holding the lifeline of the human realm in your hands!
Those accounts will be cleared soon.
With such a big gap and so many people joining together, can they hide it from you?
You are not indulging your subordinates, you are only indulging those subordinates who only obey your orders and try their best to praise you.
The first time I met you, do you know when it was?
His Majesty the Human Emperor has not yet extended his life. He asked you why the Sihai Pavilion conducts the Human Emperor test and selects those with strong luck. What do you say?
You said, Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, is about to die, and we need to make preparations early.
I was watching and listening.
At that time, I was heartbroken for His Majesty, and I was powerless for him!
I respect him because his name is Shennong!
He has tasted hundreds of herbs, he has withstood the Heavenly Palace, he has saved countless fellow humans, but he has to be humiliated like this by you before his end!
Have you ever thought about it? Ah! Have you ever thought about it?"
"I, I... I am not disloyal at all..."
"Admit your mistake!"
"You!" The old woman had a bit of anger in her eyes.
Wu Wan had an angry look on his face, veins popped out on his forehead, and he pointed at the ground with one finger!
His shouting voice roared and roared together with the fire dragon.
"I let you! Admit your mistake!"
The old woman was trembling all over, her face turned pale and green, she glared at Wu Wan, but finally lowered her head.
The legs are slowly bent, the body is slowly prostrate, hands are placed on the ground, and the forehead is lowered little by little...
Wu Wang turned sideways and took half a step back.
The rows of guards behind him turned toward each other and retreated;
The dense crowd of people outside the city retreated to the left and right, leaving a gap to the north...
When the old woman's forehead touched the ground, it seemed like a mirror was shattered. She sobbed uncontrollably and knelt there unable to raise her head for a moment.
The downpour fell, but it was heavier than every previous rain.
Wu Wan looked at the group of pavilion elders and deacons.
"Take it, punish it severely, don't regret the combat power of the human realm, kill it when it's time to kill!"
A large group of guards swarmed forward, and a famous elder was pinned to the ground. However, Huo Ling had already appeared above their heads, and they were unable to fight back.
Wu Wang didn't look any further and turned towards the city gate.
The elder Ge who was following Feng Yezi came forward and smiled.
"Are you that clean?"
The group of pavilion elders and deacons quickly bowed their heads and bowed.
"Remember what I just said, there are many talents in the Human Realm. If you can't sit in this seat, someone will sit in your place."
Wu Wan put his hands behind his back and sighed softly:
"Don't take yourself too seriously. This credit belongs to you and the Human Domain.
Whether it is you who creates the opportunity, or whether it is you and me who create the opportunity, we should know in our hearts."
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of several old people, and they hurriedly said: "I will obey the teachings of the bishop of the palace, and I will obey the teachings of the bishop of the palace."
"Lord Huo Ling, I'll leave the rest to you!"
The Xia official said loudly: "Huo Ling takes command!"
The fire dragon was about to chase after him, but Wu Wan waved his hand and said a few words without looking back:
"Ji Mo, Lin Qi, Yang Wudi, Elder Miao are staying, the rest belong to the Destruction Sect, we are back."
The great elder showed a somewhat gentle smile, looked at Wu Wan's back, sighed softly, and led the people to follow him quickly.
The fire dragon tilted its head, and the fire light retreated and turned into an ocher whip, which fell back into Huo Ling's hand.
Huo Ling stared at Wu Wan's back, with a somewhat gratified smile on his lips, and murmured to Zhebian: "A very good young man."
There was no response from Zhenbian.
Huo Ling turned around, her pretty face covered with frost.
