My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 534
Chapter 533: Minor greed, no major mistakes!
Are you nervous?
Wang Han was really nervous!
His fingers were clenched so tightly that his palms were sweaty.
The group of people in front of me are neither lustful nor fond of rare treasures; it’s clear they have ill intentions and won’t be easily fooled.
However, I still have a sense of confidence.
Having lived in Fengrao County for thirty years, he had woven an impenetrable network of relationships among officials, aristocratic families, herbalists, porters, and waiters in restaurants and teahouses.
With just a single sentence, he could hear every whisper and whisper in the entire Fengrao County.
This is why Wang Han was able to find Xu Changqing and his group so quickly after they arrived.
Moreover… the more he thought about it, the calmer he became, and he immediately plopped down on the deformed cushion.
This was originally a half-foot-thick brocade cushion filled with fluffy down. Because it had been pressed down by his obese body for many years, the middle was completely sunken, and even a perfect buttock-shaped imprint was pressed out.
Seeing that Xu Changqing remained silent, Hu Bugui was the first to be unable to contain his curiosity, Zhao Ziyue also joined in, and Lu Wu and Yu Shi also joined in the fun.
The group of people together probed the “ledger” with their spiritual and divine senses.
After scanning the details of the ledger and seeing the embellished accounts, the other three were taken aback.
Only those who have seen much of the world remain expressionless, having long since become accustomed to such sights.
“Old Xu, what do you think we should do?”
“This is not a good situation to handle!”
“If you ask me, let’s just pretend we didn’t see it!”
Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue couldn’t help but communicate telepathically.
Before this, everyone thought it was just a formality.
According to past practice, as long as there are no major problems with the accounts, they can be taken away and handed over to the Immortal Sect.
When replenishing resources, the changes in the accounts become the space they can manipulate.
For example, the difference between the prices of the spiritual plants and beasts that everyone had prepared in advance and the prices listed on the books would be considered hard-earned money, which everyone tacitly agreed upon.
This is a common practice of providing subsidies to inspecting disciples; almost everyone does it.
But nowadays, anyone who isn’t a fool can see the problem.
Even a little more wouldn’t matter, but the problem is that this has doubled.
If it’s the default, then it’s just going along with the crowd.
Although they earn more, they are eroding and even betraying the Immortal Sect.
Choosing to expose him on the spot would be tantamount to breaking ties with Wang Han.
The fact that this person has been involved in world affairs for thirty years indicates that he has a very deep network of connections.
Who knows if this guy has some powerful sect backing him up?
Xu Changqing smiled bitterly to himself: “Senior Brother Zhu, this is not what we agreed on!”
They were just there to go through the motions, how did it turn into wading into muddy waters?
If this matter is not handled properly, it could lead to serious problems and offend many people.
The less Xu Changqing and the others reacted, the brighter Wang Han’s smile became.
He even leisurely picked up the teacup, gently skimmed off the foam with the lid, took a sip, and smacked his lips, looking completely at ease.
Even Hu Bugui frowned upon seeing this.
The other party’s smile was too glaring; they clearly had them figured out.
Xu Changqing placed the “ledger” on the table next to him and instructed the people beside him, “You all go out for a moment, I want to talk to Senior Brother Wang alone.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Wu and Yu Shi were the first to stand up and immediately head outside.
Hu Bugui hesitated slightly, but Zhao Ziyue still forcibly dragged him out.
Soon, only Xu Changqing and Wang Han remained in the room.
The two sat facing each other, and for a moment neither of them spoke.
Xu Changqing unconsciously rubbed the edge of the table with his fingertips, his gaze calmly fixed on Wang Han’s face.
Wang Han toyed with his teacup, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were subtly scrutinizing Xu Changqing.
The two of them looked at each other.
I’m looking you over.
The air was thick with a sense of uncertainty.
Xu Changqing raised his hand, and under Wang Han’s surprised and uncertain gaze, picked up the teacup beside him, took a small sip, and said: “Good tea!”
Seeing this, Wang Han was unsure of what the other party was thinking. He twitched his lips and said, “This is a top-quality tea in the secular world, called Cloud and Mist Tea.”
If Junior Brother Xu likes it, take 100 jin with you before you leave!
Xu Changqing put down his teacup and said with a smile, “This tea is good, but it is ultimately of the mortal world. Junior Brother prefers the Jade Dew Spirit Buds grown on Greenwood Peak.”
The words “Qingmu Peak” made Wang Han’s pupils shrink: “Immortal Peak?”
Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “Yes, Qingmu Peak, one of the Seven Immortal Peaks.”
Wang Han asked with surprise and doubt, “But Junior Brother Xu, aren’t you the Spirit Cultivation Envoy of the Spirit Field?”
Xu Changqing waved his hand: “That was before. Now I am valued by the current peak master of Qingmu Peak and am already a core disciple.”
Core disciples.
Moreover, he is a disciple of the current peak master of Qingmu Peak.
At this moment, Wang Han could no longer sit still. His hand trembled, and the water in his teacup spilled out. He quickly stood up from his chair and cupped his hands in greeting: “So it was a core disciple in person. Senior brother was blind.”
Seeing this, Xu Changqing chuckled and said in a gentle tone, “Senior Brother Wang, you’re too kind. We both have wood spirit roots, so in terms of seniority, you’re ahead of me!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Han’s expression became complicated, and he murmured, “Yes, yes… Thirty years ago, I was also one of the spirit farmers, spending my days planting crops, weeding, and cultivating spirit plants!”
Xu Changqing remained seated, then exclaimed in admiration, “Senior Brother has worked tirelessly and diligently for the past thirty years, managing the entire Fengrao County exceptionally well.”
The Immortal Sect was very satisfied with this and even offered their evaluation.
Wang Han, both surprised and delighted, snapped out of his daze and asked, “What’s your assessment?”
Xu Changqing said with a smile, “A little greed is nothing to make a big mistake!”
此话一出,王翰脸上的笑容僵住,就感觉一股寒意涌遍全身,整个人瞬间毛骨悚然。
瞳孔更是剧烈波动,就连肥硕且臃肿的躯体都跟着抽搐起来,宛如大虫子在蠕动。
手里的茶杯一时拿不稳,直接掉在地上,发出“咔嚓”一声脆响。
茶水洒了一地。
碎渣溅得到处都是。
他张着嘴,喉咙里发出“嗬嗬”的漏气声,却一个字都说不出来。
三十年俗世经营的从容、有靠山撑腰的笃定,在这六个字面前,就跟地上已经碎裂的茶杯似得,无比脆弱。
咄~
咄咄~
咄咄咄~
见此一幕,徐长青用右手食指轻轻敲打着桌面,意有所指地说:“这账本……”
王翰犹如回魂般,整个人陡然惊醒,不管浑身泌出的冷汗,连忙又掏出一个“账本”递上去:“错了错了,刚才那个是几年前的,这个才是最新的。”
徐长青拿起两个账本一对比,发现左边这个新的,内容正常多了。
甚至连操作空间方面,都彻彻底底地偏向自己,可谓诚意满满。
如今,就看他到底带走哪一个了!
