Chapter 340: He's a good person; if I don

"No, it's not that this child lacks fortune!"

Yu Die looked at Wang Ping'an, who was being held quietly in her arms and not crying or fussing, and her expression suddenly became extremely complicated; if one looked closely, one could still see regret deep in her eyes, and she sighed, saying:

"It's some elder of mine who lacks fortune for taking this child as a disciple!"

Speaking of this, Yu Die was a bit envious of the Luo family of Fengyin Commandery; they are not a particularly powerful clan, and even if they took this child as a disciple, the Prime Minister's residence behind Wang Ruhai would not take it seriously.

They would never think that the Luo family of Fengyin Commandery was provoking him.

Just as an elephant could never care about what ants do.

She wanted to tell Luo Liang that after his clan brothers took this child as a disciple, they must nurture the child well, for perhaps this child has the potential to become a Sword Immortal.

Do not waste this child's whole life!

However.

Her words reached her lips, but in the end she could not bring herself to say them.

She hadn't forgotten that Luo Liang repeatedly denied that his clan brothers had taken this child as a disciple; no matter how he phrased it, he would never admit it.

And.

Although Luo Liang's cultivation level is not as high as hers, his insight is not far behind; even if his insight is still inferior, his clan brothers and even the Luo elders could not fail to see this child's extraordinary nature.

If the Luo people are willing, they will certainly do their utmost to cultivate this child.

Perhaps in a hundred years, this child's name will be renowned throughout Daxia.

Liu Dongzhu took the Wang Ping'an that Yu Die handed over, without taking her words seriously.

"Could it be that this child truly has something unusual?"

Luo Liang looked at Yu Die's regretful face, which did not seem like a joke; his brows slightly furrowed, and a flash of insight flickered in his mind before vanishing, and he said thoughtfully:

"No, it's not that this child is extraordinary; it's that Yu Die's eyesight is poor, so she cannot see that this child is ordinary, or perhaps she knows her eyesight is poor and simply doesn't want to show it, nor let others see, so she deliberately said those words."

"Chengyong, Chengyong, are the dignitaries from the county seat still here?"

An impatient shout rang from outside the hall, and immediately Zhang Chengze and Li Ping entered one after another, and upon seeing Luo Liang and Yu Die inside, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chengyong, what's wrong with you? I asked you to properly receive the two dignitaries, and this is how you treat them? Not even a cup of tea, let alone a seat for them!"

Zhang Chengze grumbled dissatisfiedly, full of apology, and said, "Two dignitaries, please don't be offended. My younger brother is a muddle‑headed fool who can't get things done; you sit down first. You must be tired coming from the county seat to our Zhang Family Village, so I'll have the kitchen prepare some dishes for you!"

"No need!"

Luo Liang looked at Zhang Chengze's back as he turned and left, quickly opened his mouth to stop him, saying that he was here on proper business, not for food and drink, and that the simple farm fare was unappetizing.

"Madam Li, regarding what I just said, I don't know if you've told your husband?"

Li Ping nodded, "Sir, I just mentioned your words to my husband in a dream, and he said he will come into your dream tonight and discuss it with you in detail!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Li Ping's face was full of puzzlement.

"Not long ago."

Zhang Chengyong brought Luo Liang and Yu Die to the family gate; she and her eldest son Zhang Chengze went forward to receive them, and before she could finish explaining, Luo Liang said he had matters to discuss in detail with her husband.

"Fine, please arrange a place for me to rest; I'll go into the dream and negotiate with your husband!" Luo Liang said.

Li Ping instinctively glanced at Zhang Chengze, who nodded and said, "Sir, my house just so happens to have a few clean rooms; I'll take you there to rest!"

Luo Liang followed Zhang Chengze away, Li Ping looked at Yu Die, about to speak, when Yu Die smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry to rest; I still need to go out later to check the situation at your Shizi Ling!"

Zhang Chengyong couldn't wait and said, "Madam Yu, I'll be your guide!"

"Much obliged!"

Yu Die also did not refuse Zhang Chengyong's kindness, got up and followed him to leave, and just as she was about to step over the hall threshold, she seemed to recall something, halted, turned to Li Ping and reminded,

"Madam Li, although I don't know what this Qingyang County Immortal Official of yours will discuss with your late husband, I suspect it won't be a good thing; there may be various conditions. If the conditions aren't too outrageous, you may agree, but if they're excessive, you must not be careless!"

Li Ping was taken aback, seeming not to understand Yu Die's meaning.

"You don't understand, but you care; I will quickly go see your late husband again, tell him my words, and when he talks with that Immortal Official about the matter, I think he'll understand my point!"

Yu Die smiled and said, "The Tiger Demon occupying your Shizi Ling may not need that Immortal Official to resolve; I am confident I can handle it!"

"This novel you to"

Li Ping said, "Madam Yu, I'll go tell your words to my husband right away!"

Hearing this, Yu Die said no more, and briskly walked away with Zhang Chengyong.

Zhang Chengyong left his home, walking on a deserted road, and could no longer suppress his curiosity, saying, "Madam Yu, why would you do this? Aren't you afraid of offending the Immortal Official?"

"Afraid of offending him?"

Yu Die smiled, recalling that she had happened to meet Zhang Chengyong running to the county office for help, and when she suggested traveling together, Luo Liang showed that resistant demeanor.

"Although."

She didn't know what Luo Liang would discuss in his dreams with the newly appointed Shizi Ling Mountain God, but from her years of wandering the jianghu, she could roughly guess what they would talk about.

"Nothing more than Luo Liang seeking some benefits!"

"After all."

"Luo Liang is the Qingyang County Immortal Official appointed by Daxia, not an Underworld official; if there were no benefits, how could he inexplicably do favors for Underworld people?"

"Luo Liang is willing to help the newly appointed Mountain God of Shizi Ling resolve the Tiger Demon occupying Shizi Ling, allowing him to serve peacefully as Mountain God, and taking some benefits is appropriate."

"The only fear is that Luo Liang might make an exorbitant demand!"

Yu Die did not answer Zhang Chengyong's question, but instead asked, "What kind of person is your father? I think you know; let me ask you, once your father becomes the Mountain God of Shizi Ling, will he look after your village and the villages surrounding Shizi Ling?"

Zhang Chengyong nodded without hesitation.

"Not long ago."

The uncles and aunts who helped at his home learned that his father would become the Mountain God of Shizi Ling and were overjoyed; after all, knowing his father's character, if he truly became Mountain God, how could he not help the elders and villagers?

"Since your father becomes the Mountain God of Shizi Ling, he will look after the people around Shizi Ling!"

At this point Yu Die paused, her face full of arrogance, and said, "I am a Hundred Officer of the Demon Suppression Department, tasked with slaying demons, upholding Heaven's way, and championing justice; helping your father is not something that should be taken for granted, is it?"
