lead fades away

Perhaps because he was dissatisfied with the many conditions proposed by Qingshi, Han Shuo tossed Qingshi hard on the bed all night, until it was getting brighter, and then he let go of the Jingguan, ending this unequal bed affair.

"I'm getting stubborn on the bed right now. When I saw Heng Chu, why didn't I see you have a bit of backbone?" Han Shuo leaned against the head of the bed, looking clearly at Qing Shi, who was only breathing heavily beside him.

"The bone needs to be used in a place, otherwise the energy will be exhausted, and there will be only bones and sticks." Qing Shi lay on the soft pillow and lazily replied, "Besides, do you really think that old man took advantage of it? "

Han Shuo immediately remembered that Qingshi didn't even perform the most basic salute, so he couldn't help but look weird, "...he was tricked by you."

"Hmph." Qingshi struggled to turn over, changed from prostrate to supine with five hearts facing the sky, then took out a middle-grade spirit stone, closed his eyes and began to absorb the spirit energy in it, warming his sore body after being tossed all night flesh.

"Your body training method is good for bed matters." Han Shuo raised his lips.

Qingshi didn't reply, only slightly raised his eyebrows to express his dissatisfaction.

When the sun was rising, Qingshi finally regained his normal physical strength, got out of bed and washed his clothes, and then prepared to follow Han Shuo to the first destination of today's tiger skin - Guanshitang.

According to Han Shuo's habit, as long as the place he is going is not visible in the field of vision, he will definitely fly with his sword instead of using his legs, but he drew his long sword and stood on it for a long time. Still the old god was standing on the ground.

"Where's your flying weapon?" Han Shuo couldn't help asking.

"Well, you can fly over and wait for me, I'll be there soon." Qing Shi laughed dryly.

"You don't even have a flying spirit weapon, do you? Still can't control it? You are also a foundation builder." Han Shuo frowned.

"Haha, anyway, you just go there first, it's only such a short distance, I'll be there soon." Qing Shi continued to smirk.

"Come up!" Han Shuo stretched out his hand impatiently, and grabbed Qingshi onto his flying sword.

"Don't—" But this action resulted in a slight scream. He immediately pushed Han Shuo away vigorously, and fell off the flying sword in the blink of an eye, and fell heavily on the ground.

Han Shuo couldn't help being stunned, he was surprised at Qingshi's resistance to Feijian, and even more surprised at how he had the strength to push him away!

Qing Shi sat on the ground very indecently, panting heavily, and it took a long time to squeeze out a little smile, "Hold... sorry, I'm afraid of heights."

"What's going on?" Han Shuo frowned, put away his flying sword, and landed beside Qingshi.

"It's nothing, but I'm afraid of heights. I feel uncomfortable when I leave the ground, and I feel dazed when the distance from the ground exceeds my height." Qing Shi has completely calmed down.

"Isn't it true that you can't even ride a large spiritual vessel like a gondola?" Han Shuo frowned.

"Not at all." Qing Shi stood up, brushing off the dust on his body with his sleeves, "If I can't see with my eyes, I won't be too scared, but I need to close my eyes first, not like you just now That's a surprise attack."

"...Close your eyes." Han Shuo said with a sullen face.

"It won't take much time for me to go by myself." Qing Shi muttered and closed his eyes.

With a wave of Han Shuo's sleeve, he rolled Qing Shi into his arms, then summoned his long sword again, and soared into the air.

Today is the second day after the end of the God Transformation Ceremony. Although there are still some guests who have not left, most of the disciples in Xian Chumen have returned to their normal pace.The front of the steward's hall was as lively as ever, there was an endless stream of people passing and looking for errands.

When the two of them landed together in front of the steward's hall, there was no commotion. Most of the people here had only seen Han Shuo from a distance at the God Transformation Ceremony the day before yesterday. On the contrary, several disciples from the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage came to greet Qingshi.However, Han Shuo's cultivation level is much higher than that of everyone here. Although the people who saw him didn't know his identity, none of them dared to offend him, and those who greeted Qingshi were also very cautious. He respectfully saluted Han Shuo as a disciple.

After entering the main hall of the steward's hall, the first person who recognized Han Shuo finally appeared.

"Congratulations to Elder Han." Ximen Hao, who was sitting under the head of the sect, stepped out to welcome him, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

Han Shuo turned his head slightly and looked at Qingshi, the question in his eyes was very obvious - who is this kid?

"Senior Brother Ximen." Qing Shi immediately passed Han Shuo and greeted Ximen Hao openly.

"Junior Brother Qingshi." Ximen Hao was stunned for a moment but did not have any doubts. He just arched his hands and turned to Han Shuo and continued, "Elder Han, this disciple is Ximen Hao under the head of the sect. He is here to serve you by the order of the head Dear Elder Han to deal with the matter of the Elder Hall."

"I have handed over the matter of building the palace to Qingshi. If you have anything to do, you can discuss it with him later." Han Shuo's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the main hall to hear it clearly.

"Disciple obeys." Ximen Hao gave Qingshi a meaningful look, then bowed and stepped aside.

Qing Shi also smiled back at him, but he was no longer as respectful as before.

"Go and deal with your affairs first." Han Shuo ignored Ximen Hao, turned his head and told Qingshi.

"Yes." Qingshi immediately led Han Shuo to the internal affairs hall behind.

The appearance of Ximen Hao made today's demonstration a little bit variable, but Qingshi did not intend to change the original plan.Although I don't know why Han Shuo is willing to stand up for him, but the possibility of another time is undoubtedly as low as the sunrise in the west. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he probably won't even have the chance to regret it.

Ximen Haodu is here, and Guanshitang is obviously not unprepared.As soon as Qingshi led Han Shuo into the internal affairs hall, Lu Changsheng, the chief steward of the internal affairs hall, led several disciples to greet him in a hurry. After bowing and saluting, he invited the two into a tea room in the back hall.

"Elder Han came today to build a hall for the elders?" Lu Changsheng, the head of the Internal Affairs Hall, asked nervously.No wonder he was nervous, such trivial matters as building a palace were always either done by the disciples of the elders or directly assigned by the head of the sect. How could the elders—no, the elder Taishang personally come forward!Although there is a junior junior brother at the foundation establishment stage by his side - but this junior junior brother is so flaming!The people at Xiannong Hall have been afraid to go out because of him, like a turtle!Everyone is waiting to see the jokes of Xiannongtang, why did this guy come to the management hall first? !

"There is no rush to build the palace, Senior Brother Lu, let's hand over my errand in Xiannong Hall first." Sure enough, Qing Shi took up the conversation for Han Shuo with a smile, and Lu Changsheng's head grew twice as soon as he opened his mouth. times.

"This..." Lu Changsheng carefully peeked at Han Shuo, but saw that he was sipping the tea in his cup indifferently, so he turned around and forced a smile, "Junior Brother, you should go to Xiannongtang to hand over the errands first. , and then come to the management hall to log out."

"But your people asked me to come directly to the management hall." Qing Shi raised his eyebrows, and took out the sound transmission symbol he received, "Could it be that this was not sent from the management hall? Besides, the rules on this errand, Senior Brother Lu It should be clearer than me. Because of the urgent call from Elder Han, I failed to complete the handover with the succeeding senior brother in time. But the Steward Hall has moved the things in my private treasury to the Steward Hall for temporary storage according to the rules and regulations. Now, as for me, naturally I have to come directly to the steward hall to complete the handover according to the rules and regulations."

Qing Shi deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "rule" and "temporary storage".

"Junior Brother, this..." Cold sweat was already breaking out on Lu Changsheng's forehead.

"I have a lot of things in my private treasury. Five hundred low-grade spirit stones alone are heavy enough, plus fifty catties of spiritual grain seeds, ten catties of grass aconite, ten catties of fairy peach grass..." light tithe He announced a series of things in one breath, and finally said, "The brothers and sisters who moved things must be very tired. It's really hard work."

Lu Changsheng's face turned pale. When Qingshi announced his name, he stole glances at Han Shuo a few times, but Han Shuo's expression was calm, and he didn't even think Qingshi was making any noise.When things got to this point, Lu Changsheng didn't understand what else, Yan Qingshi had completely captured Elder Han and blatantly helped him bully others!However, it was their steward himself who made things go wrong first, and now he is too embarrassed to speak up even if he wants to refute, let alone speak up—why does Elder Han come here, isn't it just to support him!

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, and said to Qing Shi, "To tell you the truth, Junior Brother Yan, I didn't handle this matter directly. I have to go down to find out first, and I hope Junior Brother will give me some time."

"Go ahead, I'll just wait for you here." Qing Shi replied with a smile, "However, there are still matters concerning the preparation of the Elder Hall to be discussed later. Brother Lu, please hurry up, after all, we Elder Han are not so free."

——Why don’t you come to my internal affairs hall to idle around? !

Lu Changsheng vomited bitterness in his heart, but his face became more respectful. He gave a deep salute to Han Shuo who was seated, turned around, and left the tea room as if fleeing.

When the door of the tea room was closed again, Han Shuo said indifferently, "Are you always so imposing?"

"How can I, if you weren't here, I wouldn't dare to lend my courage." Of course Qing Shi would not admit it, "The steward's hall is backed by the head, and this is a boundary that even my aunt would not dare to act rashly."

"Is there still a time when Fengxi dare not act recklessly?" Han Shuo asked casually.

"My aunt acted recklessly? You really don't know her at all." Qing Shi sneered, "My aunt, she only acts recklessly when she can, and never really acts recklessly."

"Is that so?" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly, but his tone was not very concerned.

"What do you think?" Qingshi threw back the question that didn't need an answer at all.

Han Shuo didn't speak again.

After a while, the door of the tea room opened again, and Lu Changsheng walked in holding a storage bag.

"Junior brother, everything in your private treasury is here." Lu Changsheng slightly bowed to Han Shuo, and then handed the storage bag to Qingshi.

Qing Shi reached out to take it, and then smiled slightly, "Brother, this storage bag is not mine."

"It's just a storage bag, junior brother just take it." Lu Changsheng waved his hand quickly.

"The little brother accepted it with a blunt smile." Qingshi changed hands and hung the storage bag on his waist, then took out a jade token and handed it to Lu Changsheng, "This is the token I used as an errand in Xiannongtang. Help me return it over there."

"Of course, of course." Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and after receiving the jade token, the smile on his face became more sincere.

It is very difficult for the things that the lion wants to leave with a big mouth to get out of the official account of the steward, Lu Changsheng can only bear the pain in his heart to make up for it from his own pocket.But now that Qingshi has handed over the jade card of Xiannongtang to him, he has a reason to turn around and squeeze Xiannongtang again. Even if he can't make up for the loss at this moment, at least it can relieve the pain of cutting the flesh by most.

Now that the matter of settling accounts has come to an end, it will be easier to discuss the matter of building the Elder's Hall next.The matter of building the hall was not something that could be resolved with just a few sentences. Today, it is just to clarify the responsible persons on both sides. Even if you want to seize power, it is impossible to build a hall and all the surrounding buildings by yourself. Even if he can However, Xiantrumen's sect rules did not allow him to do so.Therefore, the construction of the Hall of Elders has to be arranged by the Stewards Hall, but Qing Shi, as the person in charge personally designated by Han Shuo, also has the right to dictate the entire construction process and profit from it.

The manager of the stewardship hall quickly appointed the person in charge, but this person was not Ximen Hao sent by the head, but Yang Sifan, an ordinary steward of the internal affairs hall who had not yet become a teacher.Qing Shi and Yang Sifan set a time for detailed talk, and then they followed Han Shuo, who had begun to show impatience, and left the management hall contentedly.

"Close your eyes." Han Shuo reminded, confirming that Qingshi had closed his eyes tightly, he grabbed the man and put on the long sword.

"Where are you going?" Qing Shi asked after feeling her body flying into the air, holding on to Han Shuo's clothes tightly.

"Go to the first peak first, and then to the fourth peak." Han Shuo replied, wrapping Qingshi's arms around his neck, and then reached out to lift him up.

But this posture obviously made Qingshi even more unsteady, and his body twisted subconsciously.

"Be honest!" Han Shuo had no choice but to put down Qingshi again, let his feet step on the blade of the sword, and put his arms around his waist instead.

"It's easy for you to say." Qing Shi complained, but his tongue trembled obviously.

"We'll be at the first peak in a while, be honest with me, and don't drag out your style in the management hall." Han Shuo ignored his complaints and warned calmly.

"How could it be? It's not that my brain was eaten by a donkey." Qing Shi said, "I heard that you were also a disciple of the first peak?"

"When I started, my master was the master of the first peak. But when I established the foundation, he was promoted to Yuanying and became an elder in the sect. I also moved to the elder hall with him." Han Shuo said, "As far as the master's inheritance is concerned, I really want to belong to the first peak... When it's here, stand up for me."

Han Shuo didn't fly directly into the Golden Luan Hall of the First Peak, but landed on the square outside the gate of the hall.

"Open your eyes." Han Shuo kept holding Qingshi's collar to confirm that he had stood firmly on the ground, then let go and said coldly.

The disciples on duty outside the gate of the palace ran in to report the first time they saw the flying sword. Not long after Han Shuo and Qingshi landed, the first peak master Qixin Daojun, who had been prepared for a long time, led everyone on the peak and All the disciples greeted him out of the palace gate.

"Greetings to Elder Han!" Daoist Qixin and a group of fellow disciples bowed to salute.

Han Shuo accepted it expressionlessly, but Qingshi hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it—he couldn't bear the great gift from a Golden Core cultivator now.

"Go in." Han Shuo said calmly after seeing Qixin Daojun and others salute.

"Elder Han, please—" Daoist Qixin bowed and asked Han Shuo to walk in the front.

Suddenly, Qingshi's position was awkward.It stands to reason that he has to follow behind Han Shuo, but in this way he has to be side by side with Daoist Qixin or even walk in a more forward position.If he was holding something or holding a sword, he would look more pleasing to the eye, but right now he doesn't look like a servant with empty hands, just put himself in the same position as the Golden Core cultivator in such a big way— — He himself didn't think it was the case.

Fortunately, he was familiar with most of the people in the first peak, and Han Shuo only forbade him to be a big one, not to be a small one.Taking advantage of the time when the first peak disciples parted ways to give way to Han Shuo, Qing Shi bowed his hands to Daoist Qixin with a smile, and then swished into the group of first peak disciples.

Daoist Qixin smiled kindly and followed Han Shuo to the main hall without saying a word.Another Jindan monk beside Daojun Qixin also bent his mouth towards Qingshi, and smiled strangely, while Qingshi returned him a grimace calmly.

"Big Boss Yu actually crawled out of the pit." Qing Shi had already moved to Shen Shenzhou's side, whispering to him.

"Nonsense, what face is Elder Han?" Shen Chenzhou gave him a blank look, and then added, "Master went to the Refining Hall to 'invite' him out."

"Cough! Cough!" Before the two of them could continue chatting, the brother in front coughed unbearably, signaling them to shut up.

Qingshi had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, and followed Shen Chenzhou obediently, and entered the Golden Luan Ceremony with a group of disciples from the First Peak.

Han Shuo took his seat, and Qingshi stood behind him again. The rest of the disciples stood separately on both sides of the ceremony according to their own cultivation and seniority. He and Yu Wang stood in front of Han Shuo and saluted formally.

"The number one disciple, the master of the peak, Qi Xin—"

"Disciple Zhou Xuebin, Master of the No. [-] Peak Artifact Refining Hall—"

"Disciple Yu Wang, the manager of the No. [-] Peak Artifact Refining Hall—"

"-Meet the Supreme Elder!"

"Excuse me." Han Shuo waved his hand.

Perhaps it was an illusion, Qing Shi thought uncertainly, Han Shuo actually looked very kind at the moment, quite a bit like Fairy Fengxi saw him when he was in a good mood.

"Honorable Elder Order, all my first peak foundation-building disciples are here, and the rest are Qi-refinement disciples with excellent aptitude." Daoist Qixin said respectfully.

"Let the disciples in the Qi refining period go out, my place is not suitable for them." Han Shuo said.

"Disciple understands." Daoist Qixin immediately turned around and arranged for someone to clear the disciples in the Qi refining period out of the hall.

——Is this to pick an apprentice?

Qing Shi stood behind Han Shuo, and his eyes could not help but drift to Shen Shenzhou who was standing very far in front.Shen Chenzhou should have also felt his gaze, but he didn't respond as usual, but stood there with his eyes looking at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, unusually dumb.

——Will you pick Shen Shenzhou?

I don't even think about it.Shen Chenzhou is not a swordsman, but Qingshi has always felt that if Shen Chenzhou holds a sword, it is also appropriate.It's just that his sword will definitely not be as huge and thick as Han Shuo's Longya Jie. His sword should be light and ethereal, like wind carrying fog.

However, Shen Chenzhou has already become an apprentice, and the master is Qixin Daojun.The sect rules of Xianchumen expressly forbid disciples to change their masters, and it is also not allowed for one apprentice to have more than one master. Therefore, it is impossible for Shen Chenzhou to be Han Shuo's apprentice, and Han Shuo can't rely on his identity as a cultivator to force him to do so. Take apprentices.

But Qingshi soon realized that many of the foundation-establishing disciples standing in the hall had already learned from their masters, not just Shen Chenzhou, so it was impossible for them to be Han Shuo's disciples.

——Not accepting apprentices?Then what is the purpose of mobilizing so many teachers?

Qing Shi couldn't help but glance at Han Shuo.
