All sects work

Chapter 217: Conspiracy (2)

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Hongfan and General Shao could not help but turn their heads to look at him. Although they clearly had no expression on their faces, their faces seemed to say, "So you are this kind of Lord Shao."

Most of the time, people who are too proud will easily suffer losses. Shao Jin knows how to speak differently to different people. He can elegantly and decently negotiate with the negotiating partner for eight hundred rounds. The key is that that approach is not going to work in front of the female county magistrate in front of him!
"It depends on what you want." Shi Xuanying liked to communicate in a simple and rough way. Hearing his frank question, she answered straightforwardly, "High position, generous salary, power and status?"

This question stumped all three of them. At first, the Xiao family army was stationed in the barren land of the northwest. Of course, they wanted to gain wealth and glory for their family and relatives, but it was not entirely for this.

But they were walking on thin ice under Emperor Qu, especially in the past ten years, when they were only thinking about how to protect their families and how to survive. Looking back, they suddenly realized that their original beliefs had become so far away.

Facing the silence of the three, Shi Xuanying understood and said, "You can rest assured that I am not afraid of any strong person, nor am I afraid of ambition, because..."

"I will definitely be the strongest one."

The overly young and beautiful face, the confident and arrogant words, just like a little princess who was unaware of the dangers of the world, should have been a funny scene, but the three people who faced Shi Xuanying did not have the slightest thought of doubting or laughing at her.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Hongfan said, "You are a great master, and there are so many cultivators around you. Have you ever thought about the consequences of breaking the established rules?"

Xiao Hongfan was willing to believe what she once said, "The world belongs to all people", so he never asked whether she wanted to establish a country that respected martial arts.

"I think there's no need to keep that piece of window paper that will break if touched." Shi Xuanying doesn't believe in transcending the mundane and ignoring worldly affairs. "The immortal cultivators fight against the heavens and all things. They fight, plunder, and kill all the time. There is no such thing as a peaceful life. If these people can join forces to overturn the current world situation, why would they be willing to be driven by mortals?"

She said bluntly: "They have always remained mysterious and have not made any moves easily, which has led the world to have all kinds of imaginations about the strength of the Grandmaster realm. However, human imagination is infinite, and the gap between the Grandmaster realm and ordinary cultivators is not huge."

In Shi Xuanying's opinion, the consequence of breaking this window paper would be no consequence.

General Shao's previous cognition was completely overturned, and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while: "I have always heard that after reaching the Grandmaster level, one can see another world, and the strength is far different from that of ordinary martial artists. Is it all fake?"

"That's not entirely true."

Grandmaster is roughly equivalent to building a foundation, and after building a foundation it is indeed a whole different world.

There are many immortal cultivation techniques preserved in this world, but the division of immortal cultivation realms has not been widely circulated. Master Xuanying suspected that they were deliberately destroyed by someone, and today they have become a secret circulated among a few families.

Ordinary people think that the Grandmaster realm is already the strongest among all the people. It is hard to imagine that a thousand years ago, this was just the entry level to cultivating immortals. In fact, due to the extreme shortage of spiritual energy today, they cannot even exert their strength to build a foundation.

In other words, the so-called invincible state is mostly created by a sense of mystery, and there is a lot of water in it.

Shao Jin was not a martial artist, so he didn't feel anything special when he heard Shi Xuanying reveal the truth. Instead, it was Xiao Hongfan and General Shao who needed to digest it.

"Then you..." Xiao Hongfan frowned and looked at Shi Xuanying, thinking about how she always came and went freely in Pingzhou Camp...

"Don't think too much, I am really strong." Shi Xuanying said with confidence.

Even though her cultivation level was almost reduced to zero after her rebirth, and her consciousness was suppressed by the rules of heaven and could not move, she could be said to be half useless. But being weak outside had nothing to do with being in the dust!
After discussing the details of rescuing the hostages with the three, Shi Xuanying left, leaving the two people whose worldviews had just been destroyed to doubt their lives. She originally wanted to go directly to Tao County to find Yan Cui to get the spiritual stones needed for the "antidote" for this plan, but when she passed Linxi County, she remembered the restriction in Bai Xuexing's mansion, and turned around and went to the Linxi County government office.

As soon as Shi Xuanying entered the courtyard, she ran into Liu Zhubu.

"Eh? Your Excellency is back?!" Liu Zhubu was busy at the time, so he quickly stepped forward to salute, and then handed over a list, "These are the officials I am going to take to Xin County, please have a look, Your Excellency."

Shi Xuanying took it and glanced at it quickly: "Okay, I will pick someone to fill the remaining vacancies in the next few days. If you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend one."

Liu Zhubu knew that she had just arrived in Linxi County and had already figured out the forces in the county. It was impossible for her not to see that all the people on the list were his confidants. He was worried, but couldn't help but ask: "My lord... aren't you worried that your subordinates will form a clique for personal gain?"

"Is one acre of land worth it? You can't be so short-sighted! If you are not a person who just sits there doing nothing, then you can achieve twice the result with half the effort if you work together closely." Shi Xuanying took out the seal, stamped it on the list, and returned it to him. "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he went to the backyard.

Liu Zhubu held the list, his eyes were sore, and he felt ashamed. He had selfish motives in selecting his confidants. Although he only had a small piece of land now, if he did not build up his power early, how would he fight for a place in the future when the adults had more and more capable officials and generals?
But, I am really sorry for your trust...

Liu Zhubu's thoughts were still churning, but he didn't know that Shi Xuanying didn't believe in him, she believed in herself!
"Hey." As soon as Master Xuanying stepped into the bedroom, she saw Bai Xuexing leaning on the bed with a pale face and closed eyes, his long black hair was loose, and the degree of assimilation had been cleared. "Master, how do you feel?"

Bai Xuexing pretended not to hear.

"Uncle Master!" Jiang Chuixing stood up and complained, "Dongfang said that you put a ban on the Great Elder."

Shi Xuanying touched his head and said, "She is right."

"I'm just talking nonsense, right? You still don't believe me!" Dongfang Zhentian curled his lips.

Jiang Chuixing frowned and said, "Could it be that the Great Elder has evil intentions? He is not sincere in being the Elder of our Sword Sect?"

Bai Xuexing wanted to hammer the bed board after hearing this. Why didn't this brat think about the fact that his uncle had ulterior motives?! It can be seen that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked, and there is no good person in the whole family!

Shi Xuanying smiled and said, "No, this restriction is to cure the Taoist's spiritual illness."

"What do you mean?" Bai Xuexing suddenly opened his eyes.

"Didn't you feel it?" Shi Xuanying asked back.

If Bai Xuexing really thought that this restriction was purely for defense, she would not have this attitude at this moment. She did not keep him in suspense and explained the ins and outs.

After hearing this, Bai Xuexing felt like he was holding his breath and couldn't help asking, "How many attacks do you think I can withstand?"

I don't know what kind of insects have attracted me recently. My body is covered with bites, it's extremely itchy, and there are small blisters. After a thorough disinfection, I did find a lot of dead insects. After more than a week, my body is still itchy TAT ah ah ah
