The Legend of Immortal Court

Chapter 194
Within the county government.

Ding Ye looked at the young man who came forward with a complicated expression.

Although at first he paid more attention to this young man because of his mother, and after experiencing the poetry meeting, he also looked up to this young man, but he never thought that this young man is so extraordinary.

"A few days ago, a Taoist from Sitianjian came to look for you." Ding Ye said.

"I know." Su Ting didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "He is my distant nephew. He came from the capital to visit me specially. After meeting me, he went back to the capital."

"Distant nephew?"

Ding Ye felt that this title was very strange, but after taking a closer look at Su Ting, he found that there was not much, but he felt a little lucky.

The seniority of this Su Ting is actually higher than that of the middle-aged Taoist Si Tianjian.

Fortunately, he had some considerations in his mind at that time, so he didn't sell Su Ting directly, otherwise, if Su Ting came here, he would be punished by the teacher.

Both parties are people who cannot be provoked, but Su Ting obviously cannot be provoked.

"This time someone Su is going to leave Kanling and go to the capital."

Su Ting smiled and said, "This time, I'm here to bid farewell to Mr. Ding."

Ding Ye glanced at him, and said slowly, "It's not just farewell?"

Su Ting didn't show any embarrassment, and said frankly: "There is indeed another matter."

Ding Ye slightly raised his hand and said, "But it's okay to say."

Su Ting said calmly: "I saw that Master Ding has a young family member who is also intelligent and prudent. It's a pity that he is a slave. It's a pity. Why don't you let him go free?"

Ding Ye has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is naturally a smart person to be able to take charge of Kanling. Even though he understood a lot, he said: "Ding Yan is indeed capable and ambitious. He is my right-hand man. Everything is left to him , I can rest assured... Are you asking me to cut off my own arm?"

Su Ting smiled and said, "What do Master Ding think?"

Ding Ye sighed, and said: "No matter how helpful you are, since you can't agree with each other, Ding can no longer treat him as a confidant."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Su Ting and said: "He is indeed a capable person, but unfortunately he is too smart to keep his own place. I already knew this, but I never thought that he could ask you to help me."

Su Ting said with a smile: "Su actually doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but this time Baikan Mountain has benefited a lot, and it's not easy to renege on his promise and get fat."

Ding Ye said calmly: "Since you are here to speak, that's all."

Su Ting cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Ding Ye slightly raised his hand and said, "Go slowly."

……

In front of the Ding Mansion.

Ding Yan took a deep breath and looked back.

He grew up in Ding's family since childhood, but Fan Dingye's mansion seems to be his cage.

Now that the cage is removed, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, the sea is wide enough for fishes to leap, and there is no longer any restraint.

Ding Yan came back to his senses, looked at the young man in front of him, knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said, "Thank you sir."

Su Ting slightly raised his hand and said, "Get up."

He looked at the young servant and sized him up a bit.

In today's world, the order of respect and inferiority is almost insurmountable.

In the Ding family, there are more than a hundred family members, and there are many smart people, but this person is the only one who is highly regarded and still unwilling to be content with the status quo, and wants to get out of slavery.

In terms of the current atmosphere, this kind of thinking is similar to rebellion.

Ding Yan got up, looked back, and said in a low voice: "The Ding family treats me well, and if the villain succeeds in the future, there will be rewards."

Su Ting just laughed, his words were difficult to understand.

Ding Yan turned towards Su Ting, bowed and said: "Ding Yan escaped from the Ding family. In the eyes of Mr. Ding, maybe he has no dignity and has rebellious intentions. When doing things, I always try my best. To be honest, the Ding family treats me well, but..."

He said in a low tone, "A servant is a servant after all. No matter how capable I am, I still work for the Ding family, not myself."

Su Ting said calmly: "I can understand."

After all, Su Ting came from another world. His thinking is very different from the people in this world, which can be called deviant.

In fact, Ding Yan's act of breaking away from slavery was deviant, but in Su Ting's eyes, it was just like that, but Su Ting was a little surprised. Such unwillingness makes people look up.

Seeing that Su Ting didn't look different, Ding Yan sighed in his heart.

"Stand tall, but with limited eyesight, you may not be able to see far."

Ding Yan smiled wryly, "But standing in the well, no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see far."

Su Ting nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that you followed Ding Ye, but you have studied for a few years and understand some principles."

Ding Yan sighed, and said: "I have seen many smart people, who are not of high status, but they are not lacking in intelligence. I don't want to do this, and I often think that if I have a free body, I can show my abilities to the fullest... Now thanks to my husband, I finally got what I wanted."

Having said that, he bowed down and said: "Mr.'s kindness is no less than the virtue of rebirth."

Su Ting said with a half-smile, "Forget it, we're just a deal. I benefited from Baikan Mountain this time, so I just mentioned it for you. We don't owe anything."

Ding Yan smiled wryly: "For Mr. Yu, it's just a sentence, but for Ding Yan, it's a lifetime change. Nothing can offset such kindness."

Su Ting took a deep look at him, as if he felt that he underestimated this person.

"Mr. has an extraordinary status. Maybe he doesn't understand how important it is to get rid of slavery in the hearts of villains."

"Sir is a fairy, and the world is a human being, but we are slaves, and we are not even human beings."

"These slaves like me are low-status, and they are inferior to others after all. Therefore, we envy the rich and powerful. In fact, we are like ordinary people in the world. They wholeheartedly want to seek immortality and Taoism."

Ding Yan said: "The villain has seen the celebrities and dignitaries in the court, and he has also seen the low-level people in the market."

"Actually, the people in the market are not necessarily duller than the people in the court. Maybe they are smarter, but their status determines their intelligence, and they can only care about one or two taels of silver in the market."

"As for the people above the court, their wisdom may not be very high, but where the status and authority lie, under the orders, it involves the life and death of countless people and affects hundreds of millions of wealth."

"For example, a villain, no matter how capable or how big his ideas are, he will ultimately serve the Ding family."

"But now, no matter how much skill the villain has, it's all his own skill."

Ding Yan's words were full of emotion.

Su Ting had never been a slave. He thought that when he just crossed over, he was in a difficult situation and was already at the bottom of the world, but he didn't realize that the people at the bottom got a little enlightened after listening to his words.

"In the early years, the Ding family had a good friend of mine, who was also a servant of the family. It was the second master of the Ding family who went out and blocked an arrow for the second master. After his death, the second master was also very sad, but he forgot afterwards. So sad when family members die."

"Later, when I was in the capital, I also heard many things. Some servants went out with the master's family. After being in danger, the master's family died. The servants escaped by chance, but they failed to protect them and had to be buried with the master's family."

"Even, Mr. Liu, a scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion a few days ago, had an old incident."

Ding Yan's tone was very heavy, full of sighs and sorrows.

"What's the matter?" Su Ting asked.

"It is rumored that there is a painting in Master Liu's home, but a great master of martial arts fell in love with this painting."

Ding Yan said in a low voice: "If you don't offer the painting, there will be no peace in Liu's family. Even if you are a first-rank scholar, you can't defend yourself against a great master of martial arts. Master Liu intends to give the painting, but the painting has the emperor's brush. If you give the painting , is disrespectful to the emperor... So, he let the martial arts grand master take away the painting."

Su Ting frowned slightly, but did not answer.

Ding Yan continued.

"When the great master took the painting, he killed one of the servants blocking the way, but let the other servant go."

"But in order to strictly enforce the family law, this family member who escaped from death must be killed with a stick because of weak guards."

"So, no matter whether these servants go to block the Grand Master of Martial Arts, they will die... If they block the way, the Grand Master of Martial Arts will kill them. If they don't block the way, Master Liu will kill them."

Ding Yan said: "This is the status of us servants."

Su Ting whispered: "A similar story seems familiar?"

Ding Yan smiled wryly and said: "There is indeed a precedent. I heard that 800 years ago, Emperor Liang's palace was broken into by Concubine Yue, and the guards were not strong enough to defend him, so they were killed... Later, those who stopped Concubine Yue were killed by Concubine Yue. The concubine's servants beat and killed a few of them, leaving nothing to be desired, and even the remaining few were later killed by Emperor Liang to vent their anger because Concubine Yue didn't like it."

"A servant is a servant after all."

"Life is worthless."

"I'm not a person."

"Don't dare to be a slave, and don't want to be reconciled to what I have done for the rest of my life. I just made a wedding dress for my master."

When Ding Yan said this, his tone was heavy.

Su Ting touched his chin, thinking for a moment.

This person has this idea, and I am afraid that he will not be content with the status quo in the future. He has some ability now, and he may become a big weapon in the future.

But the premise is not to die.

From the experience so far, Su Ting naturally understands that people have misfortunes and blessings.

Life is full of accidents, no one knows whether there will be a tomorrow tomorrow.

For example, Su Li, compared to He Yunfang, everyone thinks that their future is limitless, they come from a wealthy family, have extraordinary talents and learning, one is very likely to control the family, and the other is very likely to be an official in the capital.

But who would have thought that after provoking Su Ting, they would die overnight, ruining their bright future.

"Listening to your words, I feel a lot."

Su Ting nodded and said, "However, no matter how important it is to you, it's just a sentence to me."

Ding Yan's expression changed after hearing this, and he said, "Actually, the villain..."

Su Ting waved his hand and said, "You and I have no fate, I won't accept disciples."

His voice was flat, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Ding Yan glanced at him, gritted his teeth slightly, but felt helpless in his heart.

Those who practice are most concerned with fate.

The words have come to this point, which shows that the other party really has no intention of accepting disciples.

Sure enough, there is no chance.

Ding Yan bowed deeply, bid farewell and left.
