All sects work

Chapter 214 Phoenix Fire (5)

Shi Xuanying had just given away a few spiritual fruits when she was caught by Yan Cui and dragged to the study to take inventory of the remaining supplies.

She sat cross-legged on the couch with her arms folded, looking at the seven empty baskets in front of her with disbelief on her face: "Could it be that the spiritual veins in my divine mansion can steal the spiritual stones and spiritual fruits in the storage bag?"

"The spiritual vein was not stolen." Yan Cui said firmly.

Shi Xuanying didn't believe it, and pointed at the empty basket and asked, "Where are my things?"

If Yan Cui hadn't suddenly mentioned this matter, she wouldn't have known that so many things disappeared out of thin air!
"After taking the spiritual fruits, you gave us more than two baskets of them, and there were also some for Lu Xi and the yamen runners..." Yan Cui had learned from Bai Xuexing about his expenses during his absence, and took out an abacus and started calculating. "It cost sixty spiritual stones to open up the mountain road to Piaoyun County. You took out two baskets of spiritual fruits as rewards and consumed at least one hundred spiritual stones to hold the monk competition. You built a river mouth barrier to stop the flood for several days, which cost about seventy to eighty spiritual stones. You asked the Taoist priest to stimulate the growth of grain, which cost at least ninety. Although you used telekinesis to create illusions to save the women in the two counties, it also cost dozens of spiritual stones. Before you left, you distributed more than one hundred spiritual fruits to officials and caravans. You spent sixty spiritual stones and forty spiritual fruits to save the victims of the disaster in the northwest and the Northwest Army. You picked up the families of the Northwest Army..."

Shi Xuanying nodded at first, and then her mouth opened wider and wider as she listened. When Yan Cui finished his calculations and looked over, she responded with a faint voice: "Ah~"

The Dao Sect’s creed for selecting a leader has always been “only choose the strongest, not the most correct.”

In her previous life, Shi Xuanying became the sect leader by virtue of her strongest martial arts and the most stable emotions in the entire Sword Sect. The sect's miscellaneous affairs had always been taken care of by the great elder. In addition, her original world was rich in cultivation resources, where the strong were respected and martial arts value was equivalent to wealth value. Therefore, she had never worried about spirit stones, and naturally developed the habit of spending lavishly. Even though she is now clearly aware of her poverty, she tries to save money whenever she can and will not learn to be thrifty in a short time.

She thought that she often chose time-consuming and laborious ways to save spirit stones, so she should have a lot left. But when she looked around, she was surprised to see that there were only these few left!
Even though Yan Cui calculated every detail clearly, Shi Xuanying still didn't want to believe it. She always felt that the spirit vein had "stolen" the spirit stones, otherwise how could such a pile of spirit stones be so unreliable!

The scene of her standing on the pile of spirit stones with a domineering air and showing off seemed to have happened just yesterday.

"Or...you can take care of the rest?" Shi Xuanying said.

Although she made Bai Xuexing the chief elder, she still felt that Yan Cui was more reliable in comparison. It was not because she trusted his character, but because he was not only conscientious in his work, but also mentally stable and not crazy.

Yan Cui didn't know what she was thinking. He only saw the sponsor extending his golden thigh to him. He suppressed his excitement, tried to keep a straight face, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

The two completed the handover smoothly and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right." For some reason, Shi Xuanying remembered something very strange. "When we first met, I saw you holding a fan. Where's your sword?"

Yan Cui froze for a moment, his voice hoarse: "It... I'll temporarily store it in a very safe place."

"Oh." Shi Xuanying didn't think much about it, "What's its name?"

"Frost pressure."

"What a good name." As for what was good about it, she didn't know, but judging by herself, she liked others praising her for beheading a dragon. "Last time in Xi Nu Chen Jie, the last move I used was the black dragon..."

"That's the Azure Dragon!" Yan Cui suspected that her eyesight was not good, "It's just that the Azure is not very obvious!"

Qinglong is Qinglong! Master Xuanying asked again: "Is this your sword technique?"

Yan Cui's heart was beating fast, thinking that she suddenly asked these questions because she didn't trust him again. He began to regret handing over the spirit stone, so he answered in great detail: "I have practiced many sword techniques, and this Azure Dragon Technique is one of my main sword techniques."

"We two are truly destined to be together..."

She was smiling, with emotions in her eyes that he couldn't understand.

Yan Cui's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the sound of his thumping heartbeat was like thunder shaking his eardrums.

I vaguely heard her say in a rather nostalgic tone: "My sword is called Dragon Head Slash."

"..."

All right. Yan Cui's heartbeat instantly calmed down, and the heat on his face quickly faded. Even if it was a golden thigh, he had to be tough for once: "It's better not to have such a fate."

He stood up angrily and said, "I have something else to deal with. I'm leaving first."

Seeing the man leave without looking back, Shi Xuanying muttered, "It's just a sword technique. It's not my natal sword called Qinglong. Why do you act like your wife is being humiliated?"

The sky was turning pale.

Shi Xuanying jumped onto the roof and watched the sun rise above the horizon. Before going to Xin County, she first went to Linxi County to prepare to take Liu Zhubu with her.

"You will be the magistrate of Xin County in the future." Shi Xuanying saw Liu Zhubu yawning while reporting for duty and threw an appointment on his head.

Liu Zhubu opened his mouth, and after a moment, joy appeared on his face.

Although he had expected this, he still couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the news in person: "Thank you for your cultivation! I will work tirelessly to govern Xin County well in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanying smiled and said, "Working hard day and night, that's really good. I love to hear that."

Liu Zhubu smiled happily and said, "The new county has already taken shape. Your Excellency can give it a name!"

Another name?!
Shi Xuanying said casually: "Then let's call it 'Xin County'. It's easy to pronounce anyway."

"Accumulating and waiting for the new, reforming the old and establishing the new, this is the beginning of growth and change!" Liu Zhubu clapped his hands and praised sincerely, "Great, great!"

She almost thought she was a naming genius!

She couldn't help but sigh. Liu Zhubu's ability to flatter was really extraordinary. She originally wanted to take him to Xinxian County directly, but now she couldn't help but give him another choice: "I'm going to Xinxian County now. Do you want to go with me or go by yourself?"

Liu Zhubu certainly wanted to build a good relationship with his master, but his mind changed and the words on his lips became: "I am just an ordinary man, I am afraid that I will be a burden to you, so I'd better go by myself."

Shi Xuanying nodded to show that she understood, and then left.

Every time Shi Xuanying simply ran after talking to Xiao Hongfan, it was not because she had any special habit, but every time she came into contact with him, she could clearly feel that the degree of assimilation was deepening at a terrifying speed.

It was not obvious at the first contact, but this change occurred after she became the main star.

She had been in the two counties for so long and had come into contact with so many ordinary people, but it was still not a chance for her to meet Xiao Hongfan. A person whose obsession was entangled with the remnants of heaven was indeed extraordinary.

In the past, she could control the number and duration of contacts, but now Xiao Hongfan clearly intended to surrender, and she would be indispensable for the advancement, so naturally she could no longer avoid him.

It's numerous fun to fight the destiny.

Shi Xuanying felt her blood boiling for the first time in a long time.

Swish!
Xiao Hongfan stabbed out with his gun, and suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in front of him. He withdrew his hand abruptly, and the tip of the gun stopped just in front of a pair of bright eyes.

The black and white eyes reflected the snow-like sharp blades and blood-red tassels, as if a fire to burn the sky was brewing. Xiao Hongfan suddenly remembered what she said yesterday while sitting on the edge of the flying boat: "The red blood will burn like the fire of a phoenix, and the most gorgeous flowers will bloom on the ashes."

At that time, Xiao Hongfan felt that what he said was sour and unrealistic, but at this moment he seemed to really see the fire of the phoenix from those pupils.
