"Ah?"
This news surprised Yue Wen.
Does he know that Qi Dian has always been proud of being a disciple of Immortal Gate, so how could he quit just like he said?
Everyone was familiar with each other, so Yue Wen asked directly, "Why?"
"After I returned home, I told my master... my former master about our destruction of the research institute. He was worried that Hu Family would be angry with Linjiang Gate because of me. He wanted to take me to visit Hu Family to apologize and put all the responsibility on your office."
"Brother Yue, I can understand that he is afraid of the Hu Family's power and ignores his evil deeds."
"But not only do I not punish evil and promote good, but I also actively bow to evil people. It really goes against my intention to practice."
"After the argument, I withdrew from the school."
"And after practicing for so many years, I have put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money. Compared with real geniuses like you, I'm still far behind."
"Maybe... I'm not suitable to continue on this path."
Feeling Qi Dian's sad mood, Yue Wen also felt a little emotional. In today's chaotic world, the spiritual world still vaguely follows the law of the jungle, and it is not that laws or morals can prevail.
Master Qi Dian runs such a large sect in River City and is so cautious. He must have seen many tragic cases.
But an idealistic young practitioner like Qi Dian would definitely not be able to accept this kind of value. Not only him, but if it were Yue Wen, he probably wouldn't be able to accept this kind of thing either.
It's just that I don't even have a Immortal Gate to protect me, and I can't even get a chance to apologize. I can only accept retaliation from others, so I don't have to have this kind of entanglement.
It's just a bad life.
It is always inevitable to offend people on the path of spiritual practice. I was worried about Ah Hei Yan's revenge when I killed evil cultivators, and now I am worried about the Hu Family's revenge when I destroy the institute. Yue Wen is very open-minded about these things.
No matter how powerful Hu Family is, there is still Supervision Bureau covering his head, so he cannot kill him openly. He can only try to avoid the secret methods with caution. In addition, the more important thing is to speed up the improvement of his cultivation level.
With enough strength, there is no need to worry about any retaliation.
Children without umbrellas can only try to break the clouds.
But Qi Dian's Daoist heart seems not as firm as his.
Brother Qi was frustrated this time, and was he even confused about his own spiritual path? Yue Wen was thinking about how to comfort his injured soul. Then he saw Qi Dian replying again, "My father wanted me to come home to help before, but at that time I only wanted to go to Youth Cultivator Convention I refuse to accept it because I want to become famous. Now it seems that my qualifications are quite ordinary. Even if I participate in Youth Cultivator Convention, it will probably only be a round trip, so I might as well make plans early. Maybe going home to help my father manage the group and just living a busy life is the choice I should make..."
Yue Wen When I saw the last two sentences, I was a little speechless.
So you are a young master who wants to go home and inherit the family business if he cannot survive in the spiritual world?
I couldn't even open my mouth to express comforting words.
If you don't want to be busy all your life, just give it to me, you bastard!
Do you understand?
How many people wish they could be as ruthless as you?
However, from Qi Dian's words, Yue Wen can still feel that he still hopes to continue practicing and become famous on Youth Cultivator Convention in the future, but he is temporarily depressed and his self-confidence is frustrated.
After thinking for a while, Yue Wen said, "Then if you continue to practice, do you want to go somewhere?"
Qi Dian replied, "I don't know, the best place for Jiang City is naturally Xuanfeng Temple, but I can't get in with my qualifications. As for the others, they are no better than Linjiang Gate."
"I do have an idea." Yue Wen said, "How about you join our firm?"
He invited Qi Dian to join the firm. In addition to wanting him to cheer up and continue practicing, he also had some selfish motives. As long as he came, it would be convenient for him to borrow money from him...
"Me?" Qi Dian asked, "You want me to join your firm?"
"That's right." Yue Wen said with enthusiasm, "Although we are a start-up team, we have already made a name for ourselves in Jiang City. We need young people with passion and ideals like you, Brother Qi, to set sail on the road of correcting things!"
Early the next morning, Qi Dian rushed to the office.
"Brother Yue!" He was in a very uplifting mood. "After you invited me last night, I thought about it for a long time and felt that joining you might indeed be a good choice! I have decided that I will work with you at Yue's Cultivation Firm to uphold the right path and slay demons!"
Yue Wen held his hand heavily, "Brother Qi, welcome to join us! From now on, we will be comrades sharing blessings and hardships!" Zhao Xing'er was also very happy beside him, "Great, now I finally have an assistant."
"Huh?" Qi Dian was stunned, "My position is... assistant to assistant?"
"Ho ho, how could that happen?" Yue Wen said, "Of course you are on the same level as Xing'er."
"He works as your assistant, do you have the money to pay him a salary? Don't forget, you only earn three thousand a month." Zhao Xing'er said, "Don't you have to use my money?"
Yue Wen slapped his forehead and really forgot about it.
But he quickly said, "It doesn't matter, Brother Qi. I happen to be in a hurry to use money. If you lend me another three hundred thousand, it will be a debt-for-equity swap like Xing'er, and I will pay it back from the income of the firm in the future."
"Mingjian..." Qi Dian scratched his head, "If it had been before, this would have been no problem. But my father was very unhappy when I said I wanted to work in your firm. After we argued, he said he would no longer support me and let me prove myself. I have agreed. Now I only have a little savings in my card. I bought a house nearby..."
Yue Wen's smile instantly turned cold, "You just said how much is left?"
"Probably..." Qi Dian picked up the phone and checked, "Two hundred and sixty-four thousand and eighty-two yuan."
"Then you lend me 264,000 first." Yue Wen said, "I have to go on a trip Wasteland Zone and I need to pay a deposit. I will pay you back when I come back." He still has the 30,000 he got from the previous mine mission, and Zhao Xing'er has the several thousand he saved from picking up and dropping off the children for three days. Although it took a while, it is not much, and he can make up for it if he finds a way.
Let's all work together and hand over the deposit first.
After killing Qi Motuo and the director of the research institute Demon Blood Human, he did gain two large sums of Demon Suppressing Coin. After paying off the twenty loan payments this month, he still had two hundred and fifty-six Demon Suppressing Coin left.
But it is still less than half of the 499 required by Dragon Snake Evasion Method.
If you wait for the commission in the city, I don't know how long it will take to collect so much. But if you go to Wasteland Zone, which is full of monsters, it should be almost there. When you come back from Wasteland Zone, the deposit can be returned. If you sell Xun Sword True Art, you can even pay off the debt of Zhao Xing'er.
Then open the bronze tripod...
Everything will be on track and life will get better.
"Female..." Qi Dian nodded. After all, he was not a stingy person, so he transferred the money to Yue Wen at that time.
At this point, there is one more Yue Wen creditor in the firm.
"Congratulations to Brother Qi." Yue Wen shook his hand again, "When you invest in our firm, you invest in the future! Let's have something good to celebrate and set sail later!"
"Yeah!" Qi Dian was also slightly excited, "I believe the firm will have a brilliant tomorrow!"
"Don't think about tomorrow yet." Zhao Xing'er said, "First think about what to eat for lunch today. I gave you all my last savings, and now I don't have a penny left."
"Of course I don't have any left." Yue Wen opened his hand.
The two looked at Qi Dian in tacit understanding.
"I just said, there are eighty-two yuan left." Qi Dian said in a low voice.
"I just used it to buy steamed buns. It seems like it can last for a few days. Just wait until I get the commission or I come back from Wasteland Zone..." Yue Wen's tone also lowered.
"Why don't you eat something good and set sail?" Zhao Xing'er also asked quietly.
"Where is the money left?" Yue Wen looked at her, "Can you accept online loans?"
"My ID card is fake." Zhao Xing'er said quickly.
"I can't. If my family knew that I had gotten into online lending, they would definitely take me back." Qi Dian also said.
"Boss, you have no worries about your family." Zhao Xing'er looked at Yue Wen.
..." Yue Wen was silent for a moment, "But I don't have a guarantee from my family. Will you lend money to an orphan who is in debt and has no property?"
"How about going out to the river to catch some fish to eat?" Zhao Xing'er suggested, "We can't just eat steamed buns."
"That's fine." Yue Wen agreed, "Just in time to set sail."
Qi Dian's pupils trembled, and he said weakly, "Are you going to live a life of primitive collection?"
He is not a person who likes to complain, but when he sees Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er, his mouth always feels itchy and he can't help but want to say something.
Although everyone shares the same difficulties, does it come too quickly?
The three of them were studying survival issues here. Yue Wen's cell phone rang. He took a look and suddenly showed a surprised expression.
He raised his hand and announced to the two of them, "Captain Wang wants to invite me to dinner tonight to talk about something! In Jiangpan Chuantou Banquet, that is City Seven's first-class restaurant."
"Ah?" Zhao Xing'er was also delighted, "Can the two of us go too?"
"Of course!" Yue Wen said seriously.
"Yeah"
With the news, the office was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere, and vague cheers such as "packing bags" and "setting sail" could be heard outside the door.
Pudu Sect Building, the top floor.
The four transparent glass curtain walls surround the clouds for half the sky. Dark gray tiles cover the floor, reflecting the soft lights on the ceiling, creating a low-key and luxurious color.
Sitting behind the circular desk was a white-haired old woman.
She looked old, but energetic. She still wore light makeup and a comfortable Tang suit, and was handling things in front of the case. At this time, a young woman with long hair and professional attire walked in from outside, holding a bunch of documents.
"Great-Grandmother." She came to the desk and reported, "The money flow on the dark web is still not traceable. It is too private. However, the IP address used to log in to the stock account was found. It was in an Internet cafe in Satellite City No. 7, Jiang City. Our people went to the Internet cafe to check the surveillance for that day, and could only see a man wearing a mask and a hat. The surveillance was blurry, and it was really impossible to confirm the other party's identity."
The old woman listened to the report and turned to look at a photo frame placed aside. Inside was a group photo.
Mottled and yellowed, even if it is preserved with the best means, it is still full of traces of time.
In the picture, a tall and elegant man and a petite and cute woman are surrounded by Spiritual Plant in the clouds on the top of the mountains, with sweet smiles on their faces.
"Could it be you?" She murmured to the photo frame, "Even if it's not you, it's still someone related to you, right? After more than a hundred years, I finally "Great-Grandmother." The young woman whispered, "Maybe it's a cyber hacker. After all, the current network methods have recovered a lot compared to a hundred years ago... The methods are more sophisticated. Just judging from logging in to stock accounts and dark network accounts, it cannot be concluded that the account password was obtained through the great grandfather..."
"I know."
The old woman turned her eyes and her eyes were so sharp that the young woman did not dare to say anything anymore.
The old man in front of him has managed Pudu Sect alone for a hundred years, allowing this sect to develop from a small workshop into a well-known medicine refining sect in the practice world today. He is Great-Grandmother who is respected by everyone inside and outside the family.
But in the past hundred years, she has always had a knot in her heart that she can't untie.
Just looking for her husband.
Everyone in the family felt that Xing Wuyinxin's great-grandfather must have died somewhere in Wasteland Zone a hundred years ago, but only Great-Grandmother insisted on believing that he would come back. No one could persuade her.
The old woman said, "Of course I understand what you are saying, but I have been searching for a hundred years and persisted in finding nothing. Finally there is such a little movement, of course I can't give up."
"Jiang City... It's the place where a research institute was destroyed two days ago, right?"
"Yes." The young woman handed over the information, "The local Hu Family invited us to establish Crimson Fox Gene Potion's research institute, but it was destroyed by others, causing us to lose a lot of money."
"Let them contact Hu Family again and say..." the old woman said slowly, "We are willing to cooperate more deeply with them and send more manpower to Jiang City."
"Are you going to... cooperate openly and go find Grandpa secretly?" the young woman said.
"Of course." The old woman looked at the man in the photo, her eyes distant and clear for a moment.
"They all say that you are dead, but I believe that nothing will happen to you. If someone has been missing for a hundred years, does that mean he is definitely dead?"
"You promised me before you went out that you would come back before the weekend and accompany me to see the colorful clouds in the mountains."
"If it's not this weekend, it's going to be next..."
