"Greetings, senior." Meng Xuezhu looked up at Tangning. The two looked at each other. Not only did she not avoid her gaze, but her watery peach eyes were full of flirtatiousness.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, I called you here today because I have something important to ask. Do you know Shao Hui?"

"This junior knows him. He has been to this pavilion many times. I remember the last time was three months ago."

"I heard that he once wanted to redeem you, and the Guige offered a price of [-] million spirit stones. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Cough." Before Meng Xuezhu could answer, Chen Hua coughed slightly and said, "Senior Tang, there is indeed such a thing. The thing is like this. At that time, Fellow Daoist Shao came to me drunk and said that he would help Xuedao You redeemed yourself. I saw that he was drunk and his mind was a little confused, so I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I just quoted a price to perfunctory him."

"The original intention is to let him retreat in the face of difficulties. The seniors have learned that Fellow Daoist Xue is not an accompanying maid in this pavilion, but a monk under the name of this mansion. There is no such thing as redemption or not."

Tangning nodded and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Xue know about this?"

Xue Mengzhu's eyes turned away from Chen Hua, the two looked at each other for a moment, Chen Hua immediately lowered his head and looked away.

"Shao Daoyou did mention this matter to this junior. At that time, this junior thought he was joking. As for what happened later, this junior didn't know anything about it. Dare to ask senior, is something wrong with Shao Daoyou?"

"In order to make up [-] million spirit stones, he went to the gambling shop under the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce to try it out, but he lost all the spirit stones and borrowed some. Now he has been detained. Someone found me and hoped that I would come forward to mediate and detain him. Rescue him first, Pingyang Valley is still waiting for him to go back to alchemy! So I came here to find out the situation."

"Hey! Why is this Daoist Shao so confused!" Chen Hua sighed: "I just said it casually at the time, but I don't know that he will take it seriously."

Tangning said, "There is something I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Xue to help with."

"Senior, just open your mouth. Fellow Daoist Shao has fallen into such a situation, and he has a certain relationship with the junior. The junior will never refuse what he can do."

"Right now, Fellow Daoist Shao is still in the hands of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce. I hope Fellow Daoist Xue can come with me and make it clear to him face to face, and then I will redeem him to prevent him from being confused again. This kind of thing goes back and forth.”

"This..." Chen Hua hesitated, Xue Mengzhu also bowed his head and remained silent.

Tang Ning's face darkened, "Are you two fellow daoists untrustworthy? Do you need me to ask fellow daoist Chen Liang to act as a guarantee?"

"No, no, senior, don't get me wrong, this junior has absolutely no intention of doing so. Since it was the senior's order, Mengzhu, you should go with Senior Tang!"

"Yes."

"It's not too late, Fellow Daoist Xue, let's leave now!" Tangning got up and walked out, took Xuemengzhu out of the attic, and returned to Pingling Mountain.

"Senior Tang, didn't we go to the gambling shop under the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce to redeem Shao Daoyou? Why did you come to your department?" The two of them came to your department, and Xue Mengzhu followed him step by step. I felt a little uneasy and couldn't help it. asked.

"Oh! It's nothing. We need to find an intermediary to talk to Kun Yanshang before he can be redeemed. You can wait here for a few days. Gao Yuan, take this fellow Taoist to rest and entertain him."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xue, please follow me."

Xue Mengzhu faintly felt that things were not that simple, but the current situation is already man-made, and I have no choice but to follow the plateau.

Tangning returned to the cave, sat cross-legged and closed her eyes to practice without mentioning it.

……

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Xue Mengzhu leaned against the window, looking at the bamboo forest, dazed.

Since coming here, as the days passed, she became more and more anxious and uneasy.

She is like a prisoner in captivity. Although no one is watching her, she is like a cage when she is here.

She didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tangning's gourd. These days, she asked to see Tangning twice, but was refused. She wanted to leave here, but was not allowed. This made her very anxious.

In the distance, a ray of light shot towards him, showing the figure of Gao Yuan: "Fellow Daoist Xue, Master Tang invites you to go."

Xue Mengzhu went out to welcome him, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gao, do you dare to ask if Fellow Daoist Shao Hui has been redeemed from your department?"

"I don't know the specific details. This time I came here just by order of Master Tang to invite you over. Fellow Daoist Xue, please!"

The two escaped from the light, and came to the meeting hall in a short while, Xue Mengzhu stepped into the room, feeling a little nervous inside, as if there was a net waiting for her inside.

"Greetings, Senior Tang." Inside, only Tang Ning was sitting high on the main seat, looking down at her. Xue Mengzhu breathed a sigh of relief and saluted.

"Friend Xue, sit down!"

"Thank you senior, I don't know what is the senior's order for calling the junior this time?"

"How is it? Are you still used to living here?" Tangning asked without answering.

"Everything is fine."

"I heard that you have looked for me twice, and it happened that I was out for a trip and was not in the mansion, so I didn't hide from you on purpose."

Xue Mengzhu didn't know what Tangning was gossiping about, and what the parents wanted to do, so she followed his words and said, "This junior is asking to see senior, just want to know how things are going with fellow Taoist Shao Hui, when will this junior be able to go back?"

"How do you think Taixuanzong is compared to the Chen family? How is the headquarters compared to Zuiyue Pavilion?"

"High and low cannot be compared. Taixuanzong, as one of the four great sects, is no different from the Chen family. Why did senior ask this question?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Now there is an opportunity to leave the Chen family and join Taixuanzong, would you like it?"

"What?" Xue Mengzhu was taken aback for a moment: "What does senior mean?"

"If you are willing, I will immediately apply to the alliance to hire you to join the headquarters. Of course, we must start by recruiting disciples. If there is a chance in the future, I will recommend you to join the sect and become an official disciple of the sect."

Hearing these words, Xue Mengzhu was astonished, and her mind was spinning. After a while, she slowly said: "What does the senior need the junior to do?"

Tang Ning smiled slightly, "You're a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about Shao Hui. I'm also an alchemist, so I know his talent in this area very well. There are not many such talents. See, I hope he can do things for me, this is the fundamental reason why I am willing to intervene in this matter."

"And you can control him. Let's cooperate. I recommend you to join the headquarters on the condition that you make him obey me."

"This transaction is not a disadvantage to you! I don't think you are willing to stay in the Zuiyue Pavilion for the rest of your life and act according to the face of the monks of the Chen family."

"Join this department, you will get a higher salary, and you will have greater development in the future."

Xue Mengzhu's eyes flickered, but her heart was still a little suspicious. This condition was too simple for her. She didn't need to pay any price, but the reward was so attractive, which made her feel unreal. I was faintly worried that there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.

"It's enough to persuade Shao Hui to do things for you? Isn't senior playing tricks on junior?"

"Do you think there is anything in you worthy of my scheme? Maybe, I have spent so much trouble and wasted so much time just to tease you?"

Xue Mengzhu's eyes lit up: "Okay, senior has said what he said, but he can't go back on his word."

"Let's go! Let's go see Shao Hui. You know what to say when the time comes!"

"This junior understands." The two left the hall and disappeared.

.........

In Jinyue Fang, in front of the attic, three rays of light descended, revealing the figures of two men and one woman, it was Tangning, Fang Yuan, Xue Mengzhu and his party.

The three of them stepped inside, came to a house, and knocked on the door.

Soon, the room was opened wide, and a middle-aged man with big ears greeted him: "Senior Fang, please come from afar, please come in."

Several people entered the inner room and took their seats.

Fang Yuan said, "Let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Tangning, this is Fellow Daoist Xuemengzhu, and this is Fellow Daoist Zhang Xian."

Zhang Xian said: "The younger generation is in the position of our chamber of commerce, and I have important things to do recently, so I trouble the two seniors to come here. The younger generation is very ashamed of Shao Hui's matter. Originally, the younger generation had good intentions, but I really didn't expect things to happen. This level."

Tangning asked, "I don't know how fellow Taoist Shao Hui is doing now?"

"As far as I know, he was detained at the headquarters of our chamber of commerce, and now he has started alchemy. According to the previous agreement, he has to refine pills for the chamber of commerce for ten years before he can leave."

"Zhang Daoyou, today we are here to redeem Shao Hui, and I want you to mediate, what do you think?"

"This is a matter of course, hey! I am also partly responsible for the matter of Shao Daoyou. Since the senior has come forward, I am willing to pay the debt he owes, and the rest can be left to the junior."

"Then I'll trouble you." Tangning flipped through her hands and took out a storage bag, "Inside is Shao Hui's ransom, [-] million spirit stones, please hand it over to the person in charge of the matter in your chamber of commerce."

Zhang Xian took the storage bag, checked it, got up and said, "Senior, don't worry, this junior will definitely do his best."

"This fellow Snow Daoist wants to visit Shao Hui, please take her with you!"

"Okay." Zhang Xian nodded in response, and left the room with Xue Mengzhu.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, I'm sorry for Shao Hui's affairs. I will urge him to return this spirit stone to you as soon as possible." Seeing the two of them going away, Fang Yuan said.

"You're welcome, it's a matter of duty."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Tang, why did you bring Xuemengzhu here?"

"Oh! She offered to come and see fellow Daoist Shao. I couldn't refuse, so I brought it along."
