Immortality begins with sect servants

late at night.

Under Li An's care, Song Mingzhang finally woke up, but he was extremely weak.

He was approaching his final day, but during this day, his mood fluctuated violently, his heart ached extremely, and for a while, his eyes were dull, as if he were dead.

"Zuo Wen..."

He let out a long sigh, "I'm sorry for you."

Li An said: "Senior, why do you have to say this... You are very kind to Zuo Wen."

Song Mingzhang said: "An Ning has no parents since she was a child. I raised her with my own hands. I pitied her in every possible way and responded to her requests. I even indulged and doted on her. I never taught her the principles of life. This is all my fault. "

"She is not worthy of being your wife, a self-contemptuous person like her. But for my sake, please take her as your concubine in the future, so that she can have a place of shelter so that she will not be homeless. , suffered too much..."

Li An was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Senior, don't worry, Zuo Wen's words will definitely be true. If An Ning is willing to follow Zuo Wen, Zuo Wen will treat her as his wife. If An Ning thinks Zuo Wen is mean and looks for another good job, Zuo Wen will not do it." put one's oar in--"

Song Mingzhang couldn't help but be startled. He once heard this sentence and found it very pleasant, but now at the moment of death, he finally realized the flavor!

If An Ning could restrain herself and live with Li An wholeheartedly, then Li An would be kind to her.

But if tranquility remains like this...

"It's no wonder you, and it's no wonder you..."

He murmured in a daze, and suddenly tears welled up in his old eyes and he shouted:

"Peace, peace!"

He stretched out his old hand as if to grab something, but it fell suddenly after all.

Song Mingzhang is dead!

…

There were cries in the house, and Li An put on sackcloth for Song Mingzhang and presided over the funeral.

He arranged for the doormen and maids of the house to go to the house of Song Mingzhang's former friend to report the funeral, and hired many people to inquire about Song Anning's whereabouts. There was a lot of noise!

He knew that Song Anning was invited by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, but he did this deliberately.

If the commotion gets louder, everyone will know what Song Anning has done!

Moreover, he had just entered the Treasure Pavilion with the help of Song Mingzhang, and Song Mingzhang died, so it was inevitable that someone would gossip.

This is self-purification, letting everyone know that it was Song Anning who made Song Mingzhang angry to death.

Sure enough, people who had friendship with Song Mingzhang in the city came to the house to pay their respects the next day. Li An received the guests as a disciple, and took the initiative to invite one or two of them with high status to examine Song Mingzhang's death. This shows that Song Mingzhang was neither poisoned nor injured.

It wasn't until late in the evening when the guests had almost dispersed that Song Anning hurried back.

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

As soon as she entered the door, she ignored Li An at all and threw herself on Song Mingzhang's coffin, crying so hard that she was heartbroken.

Li An ignored her indifferently and didn't care about her at all.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Under the auspices of Li An, Song Mingzhang's body was buried, and the funeral was completed.

After Song Anning cried that time, she locked herself in the room and refused to leave.

Li An ignored her and only ordered the people in the house to take care of her daily life. As soon as the funeral was over, he went to work in Zhenbao Pavilion.

…

"Candidate treasure appraisers need to study with the official treasure appraiser for two years. If there are no problems, they can be converted into official treasure appraisers!"

The person in charge of receiving Li An was a female steward of Zhenbao Pavilion named Wu Mengting. As she walked, Wu Mengting said: "There are now ten treasure appraisers in the pavilion. The one closest to your appraisal type is Master Gao Feng, so , you just learn from him.”

She took Li An to the treasure appraisal room at Gaofeng and knocked on the door.

"Come in--"

Gao Feng's voice sounded, and Li An immediately opened the door and entered, and the steward left on his own.

"Are you Zuo Wen?"

Gao Feng was well-built and had an undisguised arrogance on his face. He looked at Li An casually and said, "I thought he was some young talent, but he turns out to be an octogenarian..."

"how old are you?"

"Master Gao, Zuo Wen is one hundred and five this year."

"One hundred and five, one hundred and five...hehe."

Gao Feng sneered and said casually: "You can read these books casually first."

He threw a few books to Li An. Li An took them respectfully and glanced at them, but he instantly realized that these books were of no use at all!

Gao Feng used it to prevaricate him!

After all, Li An was studying with him. If he didn't find something for Li An to do, it would obviously not make sense, so he just fooled around.

Li An looked calm and accepted it.

A few days later, Li An reported to Gao Feng: "Master Gao, I have read all the books you gave me and made detailed notes and summaries."

Gao Feng didn't even raise his eyes: "Read it a few more times. Those books are all good books and worth reading repeatedly."

Li An frowned.

The other party is determined not to teach him anything.

In fact, Li An doesn't need his teaching. Regarding the knowledge of treasure appraisal, Li An is now beyond the reach of Gao Feng.

But he needs a chance to prove himself.

What will he do after three years if he keeps reading these idle books?

Moreover, now that his power of life and death was in Gao Feng's hands, he had no choice but to do anything.

In a sense, Gao Feng has now become his teacher, and whether Li An can "graduate" or not depends entirely on his words.

Li An thought about it over and over, but there was no way to break the situation...

The next day, Li An arrived at Gao Feng's treasure appraisal room early in the morning. He took the initiative to pick up a broom, rag, etc., carefully cleaned Gao Feng's room, and at the same time made tea and waited.

When the peak came, everyone was stunned for a moment.

In fact, although he was determined not to give Li An any chance, he did not dare to bully Li An too much.

After all, Li An is a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, so he still has to have this bottom line.

But he didn't expect that Li An would take the initiative to lower his status.

This made him feel quite proud. So what if you are capable? In the face of power, can't we just kneel down?

Power is the most useful thing!

"not bad."

He smiled and complimented.

Li An said respectfully: "From now on, if Master Gao needs anything, you can ask Zuo Wen."

Keep your posture very low!

Gao Feng nodded and waved his hand.

"From now on, you should come early, clean my treasure room, make tea and wait for me. After I leave, you need to clean it again, especially the tables, chairs and floors. Do not leave any dust."

Li An respectfully responded.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Every time Gao Feng appraised treasures, he asked Li An to do other things. Therefore, after three months, Li An did not learn any knowledge about treasure appraisal. Instead, he seemed to have become Gao Feng's personal servant.

Li An enjoyed it like a cake without any complaints.

At the same time, during the past six months, Li An actively established a good relationship with Wu Mengting, and the two became familiar with each other. Li An learned a lot about the current situation in the cabinet from her.

Gao Feng and Hua Ming, the two examiners who judged the papers that day, will retire in just one or two years. By then, their descendants will have to rely on their elders, Lu Hua and Zheng Xiaoxiao.

Li An couldn't help but sigh. From the moment he entered the Treasure Pavilion, he had already offended Gao Feng.

Now that Song Mingzhang is dead again, Li An is even more helpless, and his former connections will not care about Li An, so Gao Feng can naturally manipulate Li An at will.

He also visited Mo Cixi, but every time he went, the servants in Mo Cixi's house said that she was not there and did not even accept the gifts.

Ang Lee seems to be hitting a wall at every turn!

However, he had already been mentally prepared.

In this circle, people collude with each other to share the benefits. But Li An, an outsider, is here to grab food. Who would like him?

Even if he passes the exam, it will be of no use. The stronger his ability, the more people will suppress him!

If Song Mingzhang died later and could pave the way for Li An, his life might be easier.

Now all this is really normal.

"Hey, isn't this Master Zuo?"

On this day, Li An was carrying a bag of garbage to throw away when he bumped into Lu Hua and Zheng Xiaoxiao.

The two were talking and laughing, discussing details such as how to identify a certain treasure. Seeing Li An, Lu Hua's eyes did not hide the sarcastic smile.

"Brother Zuo, why are you still throwing away garbage? Shouldn't these things be done by subordinates? What, Master Gao asked you to do it?"

Li An remained silent.

Zheng Xiaoxiao tugged on Lu Hua's sleeve and smoothed things over: "Fellow Daoist Zuo, we have important things to do. Goodbye, goodbye!"

Then he took Lu Hua away.

"Forget it, he is miserable enough now, there is no need to be like a centenarian..."

"Hmph, he almost squeezed me out back then. It's not Lu Hua's fault if he doesn't take revenge. Sooner or later, he will suffer a lot!"

The two talked in a low voice without hiding it from Li An's ears.

His expression turned slightly cold, and then he calmly went to throw away the trash.

…

Back at Zheng's house, Song Anning was extraordinarily abnormal today. She actually ordered someone to prepare food and wait for him.

Li An finished his meal with a calm expression.

"Mr. Zuo, did my grandfather have any last words before he died?" Song Anning finally asked.

Li An said: "Senior Song was very heartbroken. He just shouted your name a few times and then died. He didn't have time to say much..."

Song Anning seemed very hesitant, but finally asked: "Grandpa didn't tell you about the legacy he left behind..."

Li An raised his eyebrows slightly.

Song Anning looked very guilty.

In the days after her grandfather died, she was indeed extremely sad.

But within a few days, she returned to her usual self, liking to go out, and Li An didn't interfere, so she felt more free.

But she discovered that her reputation in the city... was already bad.

She went to find His Highness Ninth Prince, but was kicked out directly!

This made her panic for a while.

But fortunately, she was not lacking in charm. During this period, she had a new suitor. He was a handsome young man with good spiritual roots, but he was just a little poor.

The other party's pursuit made her regain her confidence!

She also felt that she had had enough fun and it was time to calm down, so she started thinking about becoming a Taoist couple with the young man.

As for what Song Mingzhang once said about marrying Li An? She was absolutely unwilling.

I feel that Li An is not worthy of her prosperous appearance.

Although Li An didn't pay attention to these things, he had heard about them.

He said calmly: "The inheritance left by Master Song should naturally belong to Miss An Ning."

"I will help you count them tomorrow and deliver them all."

"In addition, Zuo Wen will move out of the house."

Someone took Song Anning's offer, and Li An was happy.

Moreover, after Song Mingzhang died, the Song family no longer meant anything to him.

As for why the young man fell in love with Song Anning, Li An could roughly guess: Song Anning could inherit the legacy left by Song Mingzhang, and in a sense, she was still a little rich woman.

There are many young people who want to save twenty years of struggle!

However, after getting Song Anning's money, whether the other party will be as good to Song Anning now... is not something Song Anning can decide.

Ang Lee doesn't care about these.

Hearing this, Song Anning was immediately overjoyed!

She had always been worried. After all, Li An was a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and he wanted to annex what Song Mingzhang left... It was too simple, and she had no ability to stop him.

Now, feel free.
