Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 973 The Favor Game
In a blink of an eye, several days passed by in the blink of an eye. In the inner city, in front of the towering Wutong Pavilion, Tang Ning and Xu Mengyuan escaped from the light and went straight into the inner room.
"Senior Xu, you are here, what are your orders?" A good-looking woman came forward and asked.
"Prepare two tickets for us to go to the Tianling Ship in Yuanxian County. The sooner the better."
"Yes." The woman responded, leading the two of them to the backyard room and arranging for them to move in.
Three days later, the two boarded the Fengling Ship bound for Yuanxian County. They traveled all the way to Longyan Mountain, where the column was stationed, and stopped in front of a cave.
"This is my wife's residence. Brother Tang, please wait a moment while I go to say hello to her." Xu Mengyuan said and went straight into the inner room.
Tang Ning waited outside for about an hour while burning incense, when she saw a man and a woman slowly walking out. The man was Xu Mengyuan, and the woman was his wife Xiang Baozhu.
She has a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, and is a little taller than Xu Mengyuan. Her face is expressionless, like an iceberg, which makes people a little intimidated.
After Xu Mengyuan got married, she held a wedding banquet in Xuantang City. Tang Ning had met her once before and recognized her.
"This is Tang Ning, the brother I told you about." Xu Mengyuan introduced from the side.
"Senior Sister Xiang." Tang Ning bowed.
Xiang Baozhu nodded and said, "Junior Brother Tang is here specifically to visit Uncle Bai?"
"Yes, Brother Xu and I were drinking and chatting together a few days ago. When we were talking about visiting Senior Uncle Bai, Brother Xu said that he had not seen Senior Sister Xiang for a long time and missed her very much, so he came with me."
Xiang Baozhu said expressionlessly: "Then let's go!"
The three of them arrived in front of Bai Jintang's cave. Tang Ning waved her hand and handed the talisman inside.
Not long after, a man came out and led the three people into a living room.
Bai Jintang walked in from the outside, and the three of them bowed and saluted, calling themselves uncle.
"No need to be polite, sit down!" Bai Jintang smiled and waved his hand.
"Thank you, Uncle Master." The three of them took their seats.
Xu Mengyuan said: "Uncle, I don't think it's strange that the disciple and his wife are bothering me. My master knows that I'm here and specifically asked me to say hello to you. He will come to visit you some day."
"It doesn't matter. Senior Brother Fang and I are old friends. We don't need to see each other so much. You can come to my place more often when you have nothing to do in the future. You and your wife have been living in two places since you got married! What do you think? Do you have any ideas to transfer to me? Column coming?"
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. It's just that my disciple has been promoted to the brigade manager not long ago and does not meet the qualifications for promotion. It is better to have a stable transition in the regiment. My master also means the same. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come and bother my uncle."
"How is Senior Brother Fang doing lately? He has been preparing to attack the Realm of Refining the Void for several years, so he should have all the training materials ready!"
"The master rarely talks to me about these things, so the disciple doesn't know how prepared he is."
Bai Jintang nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xiang Baozhu: "Have you been enjoying your stay in the direct command of the column all these years? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
"Thanks to Uncle Master, everything is fine."
"During the disputes with the Chamber of Commerce and Netherworld Sea in the past few years, have any disciples been killed in your team?"
"Two disciples were ambushed while performing field duties and were inevitably killed."
"How is the follow-up work to appease the murdered disciples going? Have they been arranged?"
"Yes, according to the requirements of the brigade, the matters behind him have been dealt with accordingly."
"There are many casualties in the column this time, so there are some job vacancies. We are now discussing and will soon arrange for corresponding personnel to be supplemented. What are your conditions? Do you meet the standards for promotion?"
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Master. The disciple is promoted to team leader for only seventy or eighty years, which is not enough to be promoted to team leader."
Bai Jintang nodded without saying anything more, and looked at Tangning: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and your cultivation has improved further. Yes, it seems that you have not neglected your cultivation. It doesn't matter if you walk slower, I'm afraid of stagnation."
"It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't come forward to deal with our team's Lin Quan incident last time, I'm afraid my disciple would have been imprisoned. I've always wanted to express my gratitude to you in person, but never had the chance. This time I made a special trip to visit you just to Thank you in person for your help." After Tangning said that, she stood up and gave a big salute.
"You don't have to be polite." Bai Jintang waved his hand and said: "This is all as it should be. Who calls me Master Liu's nephew and uncle? If I sit back and ignore it, Master Liu will remember to hate me. Even my senior sister will complain about me. ”
"Besides, I was just signing a bridge to set up a line. The one who really contributed to saving you from prison was Senior Brother Fang. You have to thank him a lot. If Xu Mengyuan hadn't come to tell me, you would have left this position." Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.”
"Having said that, you are indeed a bit reckless and impulsive in your actions. Even if Lin Quan is guilty, you should not execute him privately. This incident should be taken as a lesson and should always be remembered as a lesson."
"Yes, disciple, please remember Master Uncle's teachings." Tang Ning responded.
"Let's not talk about this. Last time I went to the county to meet Yuan Hua, I mentioned Senior Nephew Liu. He said that Senior Sister was considering whether to send Senior Nephew Liu to Qingwu Camp for training. There is no way that you and your wife will see each other again soon. ”
Hearing this, Tang Ning felt happy and quickly asked, "When will my wife leave the sect?"
"Don't worry. Since Senior Sister has this consideration, she will be released sooner or later. You just have to do your own thing and we will meet you naturally when the time comes."
"Yes." The thoughts in Tang Ning's mind were spinning. Nangong Muxue was actually considering sending Liu Ruhan to Qingwu Camp. This was something he had not thought of before coming. This meant at least two things.
First, what Su Yuanhua said to him at the beginning was indeed his personal thought, not Nangong Muxue's original intention.
The second is that Liu Ruhan's right to speak is gradually increasing, and Nangong Muxue can no longer control her as strongly as before.
There is no doubt that the devolution of Qingwu Camp must be Liu Ruhan's own wish. It is difficult for Nangong Muxue to refuse. Perhaps there is no suitable reason to refuse. This just shows that Liu Ruhan has gradually gained a certain right to speak in front of Nangong Muxue.
Although they are masters and disciples, as long as they are individuals, they cannot be as obedient as puppets. Everyone in Gain has his own thoughts.
Of course, a master can force his disciples to obey, just like a father orders his children, but this kind of coercion will more or less cause dissatisfaction and may even tear the relationship between the two.
For example, if Gu Yuanya didn't want to stay with him and asked to go out to explore, he could refuse once or twice, but if she kept asking her every now and then, he wouldn't be able to force her to stay with him.
Nangong Muxue suddenly had this consideration. It seemed that the differences between the two parties had reached a certain critical point, or there was some opportunity that made it difficult for her to refuse Liu Ruhan's request.
She just didn't know when Liu Ruhan would be transferred to Qingwu Camp. Tangning was both looking forward to it and a little excited, and even a little nervous.
At this moment, all he could think about was the scene of meeting her again, and for a moment, he completely forgot about this purpose.
"Uncle, I'm going to say goodbye first." Xu Mengyuan heard Bai Jintang suddenly mention Liu Ruhan and Nangong Muxue, and saw Tang Ning was silent and distracted, thinking that the two of them were going to have some private matters to discuss that were not suitable for outsiders, so he realized what was going on. stood up and said.
"Well, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will also go to Xuantang City to visit Senior Brother Fang. You go back this time and say hello to me."
"Yes, disciple will definitely bring the words to you."
"Farewell, disciple." Xiang Baozhu also stood up and said, and the two of them left the room side by side.
Tang Ning came to her senses when she saw the two of them saying goodbye, but her body didn't move at all. It wasn't until they were far away that she stood up and said, "Uncle Master, actually, this disciple came here to ask for something."
Bai Jintang waved his hand: "What's the matter? Sit down and talk!"
Tang Ning sat down as he was told, thinking carefully about his words: "It's like this. There are more than a dozen job vacancies in our regiment that will be filled together. Among them, there is a manager job vacancy in our brigade. After hearing the news, the disciple immediately found it. I have chosen Master Fang Dasheng and hope to get his support.”
"However, judging from his words, it seems that it is not that easy, so I came to my uncle for advice. You are highly respected and knowledgeable. Your experience and ability are beyond the comparison of my disciples."
"In your opinion, this matter?"
To be honest, he would not have come to Bai Jintang if he had no other choice. Gein had troubled him many times before. So far, he had begged Bai Jintang for help not eight times but five times. Each time, it was about him. A matter of great interest.
It would be okay if it was a trade, but the problem was that he couldn't get anything in return.
Every time Bai Jintang helped him, he did so without any reward, which made him feel grateful and ashamed, and quite ashamed.
Everyone has a sense of shame. When you frequently trouble others to help you, but you can't give anything worth repaying, anyone with a little bit of moral sense will feel ashamed.
You need to know that every item has a corresponding price. This price is not the price of the spiritual stone clearly marked in the store, but it does not mean that it has no value.
Everything in the world has always been exchanged at equal value, and nothing can be obtained without any price.
It's just that the prices of some things are marked secretly, and every favor must be exchanged for a favor of equal value, so that this trading game can continue.
Take the last time he was promoted to captain of the team, Fang Dasheng fully supported him in obtaining this position, and in return Xiang Baozhu also received Bai Jintang's support when he was promoted to captain of the team directly under the column. On the surface, it was a favor, but in fact it was business of equal value. .
As long as this favor is sold, it will be taken back one day. If you don't take it today, you will take it tomorrow.
It's like you will always owe you an unfounded note. As long as you don't die, someone will come to you one day and ask you to pay it back.
This is something you must pay back. If you don't pay it back, gradually no one will do this kind of favor transaction with you anymore.
If rights cannot be traded and realized, the utility they bring will be greatly weakened.
In other words, every time Tang Ning received corresponding benefits from Bai Jintang, Bai Jintang had to repay him in places that he could not see and in corners that he had never heard of.
The one who benefits is oneself, and the one who is in debt is others. As long as you have a little bit of conscience, it is impossible not to feel ashamed. But Tangning still traveled thousands of miles from Xuantang City to ask for help. He had no choice.
In Qingwu Camp, the only person he could really rely on was Bai Jintang.
If you don't look for him, who else can you look for? Only he can help himself, and only he is willing to help himself.
Logically speaking, in terms of closeness, he should be closer to Su Yuanhua, but Su Yuanhua is a person who cannot be described in words.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble for me, thank God. How can I dare to come to him and ask for help?
