Zhuge Village·Village Front
"Phew, it's okay. I've already prepared on the way. It's okay. I've already given up."
Zhuge Qing stood in front of the door, repeating over and over again that it was okay. He didn't know what was waiting for him after he entered.
Maybe it was my father's disappointment, maybe it was the sighs of my aunts and uncles, maybe it was the ridicule of family members.
He repeatedly told himself that he was ready, and that if he lost, he lost, and he should admit it and accept it.
He stretched out his hand and pressed on the door. At this moment, the door, which could be opened with a light push, became like a huge stone weighing thousands of pounds.
"elder brother?"
Zhuge Xiaobai held his brother's hand. He found that his brother's hand was very cold at this time. He looked up worriedly.
"No, it's okay, Bai, it's okay."
Zhuge Qing looked down at Bai and tried to smile easily, but the smile looked very forced.
"Come on, whether it's early or late, you still have to face it eventually, come on!"
Zhuge Qing was ready. He raised his arms again and tried hard to push the door open, trying to defeat his inner demons.
At this moment, there was a loud noise and the door was opened. An old lady stuck her head out from inside the door, with a puzzled expression at first.
I was surprised again when I saw Zhuge Qing.
"Hey, isn't this Qing? And Xiaobai, you guys got home so soon. Come in."
"Why are you standing outside? Your father and your uncles were just talking about you two."
The aunt reached out and took Zhuge Qing and Zhuge Xiaobai and walked into the village. After entering the village, they walked around left and right and finally came to a lobby.
Zhuge Qing's father, uncles, aunts and cousins were all gathered here, and they were all talking.
When the aunts, uncles, aunts, mothers-in-law and grandmothers saw Zhuge Qing, they came forward happily, poking his face with their fingers and patting his head.
"Qing, you didn't get beaten up, did you?
"Xiaoqing, have you not eaten well these past few days while you were away? You look so thin. I'll make some chicken soup for you and I'll come over for some."
"Qing, why do you look so pale? It's obvious you didn't sleep well. I'll take away the bedding I just made. I'll make sure you get a good night's sleep."
There was no disappointment, rolling eyes, ridicule, or gossip as Zhuge Qing had expected. The adults didn't seem to care that he lost.
"Qing, it doesn't matter if you lose. There are always people who are better than you. No one never fails."
"That's right, if you lose, you lose. You should learn from your shame and then be brave. There's no need to be too hard on yourself.
"Qing, don't think too much from now on. Just have a good rest."
Zhuge Qing's father and uncles did not blame him. Instead, they all advised him not to take the matter to heart.
Victory and defeat are common in the military. Even though you lost this time, just keep working hard. There is no undefeated general in this world.
"Hehehe, Qing, it must be hard to get beaten up, you deserve it."
"Zhuge Qing, you have this day too. No, why didn't I go then? If I had gone, I would have recorded it and watched it every day."
"Hey, Qing, it's nothing, you just got beaten up, right? I want to beat you up every day. Oh, and I heard you got beaten up too, didn't you?"
Those cousins who were about the same age as Zhuge Qing came over to laugh at Zhuge Qing.
Well, he smiled very proudly.
"I didn't cry. Who spread this rumor?"
Zhuge Qing's face changed. He was indeed very disappointed at that time, but he really didn't cry. He was not Xiaobai, so how could he cry like that?
"That's what Xiaobai said."
Zhuge Guan said, "He sent us a group message the day you lost. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt when I saw it.
"white!"
Zhuge Qing looked at his brother angrily. He was doomed. No matter how he explained, these people probably wouldn't believe him.
The story of me being beaten and crying will probably be circulated for a long time, and people will probably use this to tease me every day.
"I, I didn't mean it."
When Zhuge Xiaobai looked at his brother, he was about to cry again, but he still felt that what he said was right.
At that time, my brother had clearly locked himself in the room, making a whimpering sound from time to time.
He was an expert at crying, and he knew very well that his brother must be crying secretly.
After a burst of noise, Zhuge Qing returned to the village, and the fear in his heart was slightly reduced.
"Losing doesn't seem to be a big deal. Everyone's still the same as before. Yeah, although I got super angry when those guys taunted me!"
Zhuge Qing felt relieved at this moment. As the genius of the family, this was the first time he faced such a failure.
No, it should be the second time, um, the third time.
The first time was when he used Samadhi True Fire, and he failed. The second time was when he faced Wang Ye's Fenghou Qimen.
The third time was when Qin Qi defeated Wang Ye. During this period, Zhuge Qing's three views were constantly shattered, reshaped, shattered, and reshaped.
Now he can't be said to have been reborn from the ashes, but can only be said to have thrown away everything.
At this time, Wang was also expelled from Wudang Mountain, and many people were secretly following and investigating him.
When he returned home, he found his father sick in bed.
"Yer, cough cough cough, you are finally back, cough cough cough."
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine when we met before?"
Wang Ye looked at his father lying on the bed, looking very weak, and walked over to check on him.
"Ahem, ahem, Ye'er, Daddy's fine. I heard you were kicked out of Wudang Mountain recently. It's okay."
"From now on, you just stay at home and help Dad with his work. As long as I can see you, Dad's illness will get much better."
Wang Ye's father felt that what he said was so cool at this moment! He must be looking like a kind father now.
Wang Ye will definitely be so moved that he'll be beside himself. Hahaha, just stay home and inherit the family business!
Wang Ye, nicknamed Wudang King and also known as Ye Zong, is a man who will go home to inherit the family business if he doesn't work hard.
"Six-flavored Rehmannia root, wolfberry, dried seahorse, and a little blue pill. Dad, are you sure you're sick? Not just suffering from kidney deficiency?"
Wang Ye opened the drawer and looked at the medicine inside, then looked at his father. He felt as if his father treated him as the stupid son of a landlord.
Oh, he is the stupid son of a landlord, that's okay.
."
"You little b*****d! Don't worry about what disease I have or whether I'm weak or not. You've been kicked out of Wudang Mountain anyway, so just stay home and help me from now on.
Old Wang stopped pretending and stood up from the bed, shouting loudly. As if to prove that he was strong and had sufficient kidney energy, he shouted loudly.
While Wang Ye was arguing with his father, his second brother and his second sister-in-law walked outside to the balcony and started whispering.
"Isn't it a good thing that Xiao Ye is back? Why do you hate him so much?"
Wang Ye's second brother Wang Yi spoke.
"It's not that I hate him, I just feel depressed, especially seeing your father like that."
The second sister-in-law spoke.
"Xiaoye, why are you so depressed?
Wang Yi spoke.
The second sister-in-law tilted her head and looked at Wang Yi, then said, "Wang Yi, remember that besides your parents, the people closest to you right now are me and Taotao."
"I am your woman, Taotao is your biological son. We are the ones closest to you and the ones who care about you the most."
"What do you mean? Xiaoye is still my brother."
"But if Xiaoye really comes back, there will be another heir to the group, one who can squeeze you out!"
"So what? Xiaoye is already a member of this family, and he has a share in the group."
"In the end, who will inherit the throne will be decided based on our own abilities."
Wang Yi seemed a little impatient, but the second sister-in-law remained calm. She had lived with the man in front of her for so many years and she understood each other.
"Wang Yi, you believe what you say. It's ok to lie to me, but don't lie to yourself."
"Big Brother Wang is not at home. He travels abroad every day and is only responsible for overseas business."
"Xiao Ye is the same, he stays in the mountains every day. They chose you as the successor simply because there is no one else.
"Now that Xiaoye is back, what do you think gives you the right to compete with Xiaoye?"
"I'm not trying to persuade you. I'm just expressing what's on your mind. Wang Yi, do you dare to say you haven't thought about this?"
After his second sister-in-law finished speaking, Wang Yi fell silent. Every word she said struck his heart, and he did have this worry.
And now in the house.
"Ah~~Oh [This family is still so bloody."
After practicing, Wang Ye's hearing and eyesight became sharp. Although his second brother and sister-in-law were outside and spoke in a low voice, he could still hear clearly.
He wasn't angry, nor did he show anything, he just yawned.
Zhuge Qing lost, but after returning home he received support and comfort from his family.
Wang Ye won, but after returning home he was feared by his second brother and sister-in-law, and was expelled from Wudang Mountain.
Who knows who will win or lose? Victory or defeat is never a matter of a moment, and there is no general who is always victorious in this world.
At this time, a man came to the Nadutong company, a Quanzhen Taoist priest. He was wearing a Taoist robe, but his face was full of polite smiles.
"Mr. Zhao, long time no see, Mr. Zhao."
When the Taoist priest saw Zhao Fangxu, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Zhao, you have a very blessed face."
"Master Liu, you are so polite. If you have anything to say, you can just give me a call. Why come here in person?
Zhao Fangxu also spoke very politely.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries and chatted for an hour, but finally Zhao Fangxu couldn't take it anymore.
"Master Liu, I wonder what exactly you're here for this time?"
Zhao Fangxu spoke.
"Nothing, I heard about what happened at Longhu Mountain. I didn't hear that Master Tian was almost killed.
"I am very…"
Taoist Priest Liu is indeed a great Taoist priest, he is very patient, and they argued like this for another three hours.
Just don't tell me what this trip is about.
"What on earth is this guy trying to do? You don't know what happened at Longhu Mountain. Your Quanzhen Taoists led the people from Longhu Mountain to kill so many people."
"You keep saying you heard it, as if you had no involvement.
'The people our company sent to investigate were thrown out before they even entered your Baiyun Temple, and you tell me you know nothing.
"I don't believe you, the old man is very bad."
Zhao Fangxu knew that Taoist Priest Liu was playing dumb, but he had no other choice. Taoist Priest Liu could only
An ordinary person.
But the other party is from the Taoist Association. On the surface, the association only deals with Taoists, but in fact, all Taoist people are under their control.
If you want to be a Taoist priest, you must receive the Taoist certificate and then get a certificate to prove that you are a real Taoist priest and not a fox Zen master.
This part of the matter is their responsibility.
"Master Liu, it's getting late, and I'm quite busy. How about we talk tomorrow?"
Zhao Fangxu said tentatively.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."
Taoist Priest Liu turned and left without hesitation, planning to come back tomorrow. Their Quanzhen sect focused on cultivating the mind and body.
Although he didn't have the talent for refining Qi, he also cultivated his life and patience, so he could keep fighting with the opponent!
"Master Liu, please stay. Regarding the Longhu Mountain incident, the company is on the side of Longhu Mountain."
"We also hate those Quan Xing monsters!"
Zhao Fangxu did feel the pressure. The Quanzhen and Zhengyi sects together had disciples spread all over the country.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the connections these two companies have accumulated over the years!
The company has the above relationship, but just like the relationship between temporary workers and the company, the relationship between the company and the above is just that of temporary workers.
What is a temporary worker? You do the dirty and tiring work. If something goes wrong, the temporary worker will take the blame and it has nothing to do with their superiors.
Moreover, the company's power can only be used against extraordinary people, not ordinary people, and it must even be more cautious when facing ordinary people.
After all, since the people above are using the company, they have to be on guard against the other party biting them back.
"Mr. Zhao is right, I agree."
Taoist Priest Liu nodded in agreement: "But after all, so many people died. It has a bad impact."
"It does have a bad impact. I thought of asking that young Taoist priest to cooperate with us to go through the process. It's nothing special, just going through the process."
"Master Liu, you understand. I just need to give an explanation to the higher-ups. We don't ask any questions. It's just a formality."
Zhao Fangxu spoke up. Xu San and Xu Si mentioned in their reports that Qin Qi had taken the lead in actively rejecting the company's interference.
Everything else is easy to deal with. Zhao Fangxu doesn't care how many people died in Quanxing or how many Taoist priests died in Longhu Mountain.
He only cared about the company's rights and reputation. Qin Qi's behavior undoubtedly affected the company's reputation, which he (Wang Zhao) would not allow.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't know what you're talking about. What process, what boss? I don't quite understand."
"What is the process? Who is in charge? Is there someone on the ceiling? Can you tell me in detail?"
Taoist Priest Liu's originally bright smile turned cold at this moment. Fatty Zhao couldn't have been unaware of the reason why he came today.
But even so, he still insisted on getting people. How come he was really fighting against all of them!!!
If it were any other time, Taoist Priest Liu might have given in and given face to Zhao Fangxu and the people above him.
But this time it won't work. First of all, they are in the right in this matter. No matter what they say, they are the one who is right.
Secondly, Uncle Fang, the abbot, and Old Master Wei all greeted him.
It was reasonable, he had support, and his opponent was a Quan Xing demon. Taoist Liu had never fought such a prosperous battle in his life!
And a company is just a company after all. There are some things they cannot say openly. Just like the various departments of a country, they are all restrained by each other.
It is impossible for a company to change any department it wants.
Well, some people may question this. The company represents the country. Why should Quanzhen and Zheng go against the country?
I also saw many such remarks when I was looking through the information. The country is behind the company and can destroy anyone it wants.
But in fact, the company has never admitted that it is a member of the country, even in the original comics it is only hinted at.
Just like temporary workers, everyone knows that they are company employees, but they do not have an identity within the company itself.
They are responsible for handling shady matters, and if something goes wrong, they will cut off ties directly.
When facing ordinary aliens or ordinary people, it doesn't matter what they do, they can do whatever they want.
If you have a relationship, you have to be cautious.
For example, when dealing with the matter between Wang Ye and Chen Jinkui, because Wang Ye's father was the chairman of the group, the company did not dare to take direct action.
