171. Application for resignation
In the next few days, Xia Gui kept an eye on the slaves while cultivating in an orderly manner.
For Xia Gui's cultivation during his work, everyone felt that it was right, not only did no one scold him for not working, but someone sent him a bottle of high-concentration condensation liquid and a bottle of soul essence every day, which helped Xia Gui cultivate more quickly.
For such a genius, he must be well supported, if his benefits are missing, Pan Hong and Jiang Guangyuan themselves will not be happy.
Just giving him the status of a domestic servant is considered a condescending talent!
These days, Ziluo has not come to visit Xia Gui.
I don't know if it's to avoid suspicion, or because of Xia Gui's deliberate alienation last time, this little girl really didn't appear, but Xia Gui was also happy and relaxed, so as not to cause side trouble.
There was a hot scene in the Hundred Beast Garden, Xia Gui looked at the slaves who were working seriously with some pride, and secretly said in his heart: "If this continues, they will be able to complete the task independently in the near future." When I'm gone, I shouldn't be in trouble. ”
Just thinking about it, suddenly someone behind him "coughed" twice, Xia Gui turned around, only to find that Jiang Guangyuan appeared behind him at some point.
Jiang Guangyuan frowned, "Come with me." ”
The two walked to an open space far away from everyone, Jiang Guangyuan looked at Xia Gui, and saw Xia Gui's heart hairy. While he was thinking about it, Jiang Guangyuan had already spoken: "Gu Li has already told Master Pan, you want to go to the northern base?
It seems that Gu Li's work efficiency is very high, and Pan Hong and Jiang Guangyuan have been notified.
Facing Jiang Guangyuan's questioning, Xia Gui was already prepared. He sighed and said embarrassedly, "Lord Jiang, you already know ......"
Jiang Guangyuan said: "Hey, early this morning, Gu Li communicated with Master Pan. To be honest, we didn't expect you to say yes. Originally, Master Pan and I were originally planning to promote you to another level. Although there is no suitable position, you can be promoted to a position equivalent to mine, and we will find a way to put you on the list. ”
Xia Gui shook his head and said, "Lord Jiang, it's not a matter of position. He bowed down and said, "You and Lord Pan treat me like a mountain, and I never thought of leaving." Can...... Since returning from the gladiatorial arena, his thoughts have become more and more numerous. I deeply realized my weakness and incompetence, and it just so happened that Master Gu Li invited me to the northern base to learn the art of alchemy, and promised to give me the most direct guidance, and the little one was moved. ”
Xia Gui made a worried look, looked at Jiang Guangyuan tentatively, and added, "Master Jiang, I will come back after I finish studying." ”
"Naive. Jiang Guangyuan sneered, "Do you think you can come back?" That old man is uneasy and kind, and he has other thoughts about you. ”
Xia Gui shook his head, "Lord Gu Li saw that I was talented, and he had a heart to cherish my talents, and wanted to cultivate it well, just like you and Master Pan...... I'll be careful when I get there. ”
Jiang Guangyuan sneered, "You don't know what they are doing there, right? I've been working for a few years, and I don't want to have anything to do with them. ”
Xia Gui was silent, and he really didn't know how to refute this.
"If you go to that place, you'll either have bloody hands like them, or you'll fall victim to their cruelty. I said that, do you understand?" Jiang Guangyuan said coldly.
Xia Gui lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Jiang Guangyuan's eyes. To be honest, he had to show a weak look now, after all, after talking to Gu Li for so long, it was impossible not to know anything about the affairs of the northern base.
He pondered for a long time, and finally said carefully: "Xiaguan and Master Gu Li have agreed that they will only learn skills and not talk about anything else. ”
Jiang Guangyuan took a light breath, and two sharp eyes looked directly at Xia Gui like a falcon, "It seems that you are really going?"
"I'm sorry, Lady Jiang. Xia Gui replied.
The young man in front of him was bowing carefully, and his tone was so humble that it was almost pleading. It can be seen that he really wants to go to the northern base to "experience".
Xia Gui is not a stupid person, he must have heard a little about what is going on in the northern base. And he actually agreed to Gu Li's request, has this young man changed?
He promoted him at all costs, and spent a lot of money to rescue him, but in the end, it was in exchange for Xia Gui's resignation?
Jiang Guangyuan sighed and said bitterly: "Is it because your current position can't meet your ideals? Or has that cruel gladiatorial arena changed your heart?"
Looking at Jiang Guangyuan's frowning brows and the corners of his lost mouth, Xia Gui's heart shrank suddenly.
"Master Jiang, I ......"
Recalling Jiang Guangyuan's appreciation, care, and even life-saving grace for him, Xia Gui felt great pressure in his heart. Jiang Guangyuan reinvented himself and had high hopes for him, and his choice at this moment must have made him extremely disappointed.
This time I went to the northern base, which seemed to be a promotion, but in fact it was a dangerous infernal road.
If he could come back alive, he would have become a lackey of the high priest and a butcher with blood on his hands. What would Lady Jiang think at that time?
It doesn't matter if you risk your life, it doesn't matter if you're in a desperate situation, and what makes Xia Gui feel unbearable is that Lord Jiang, who is so kind and righteous, questioned himself for the first time.
Xia Gui smiled bitterly, did he pretend to be too similar? Or did Gu Li add oil and vinegar so much that Jiang Guangyuan also firmly believed in his "purpose".
Although I am depressed, the play will continue. Xia Gui lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Lord Jiang, this mountain villa has too many secrets and too many rules, and the northern base is the core of the core. If I can't go to the core and grow up, I can't see the future. ”
Jiang Guangyuan sighed, "Are you iron-hearted?"
"Yes. Xia Gui admitted.
After a while, Jiang Guangyuan said dejectedly: "You go." ”
"Master Jiang......" Xia Gui was surprised and said in a trembling voice.
I saw Jiang Guangyuan say with a straight face: "After leaving the Hundred Beast Garden, I don't care what you want to do." However, if you do something unreasonable, you and I don't have to deal with each other again. ”
Jiang Guangyuan sternly left the last piece of advice and left.
After looking at Jiang Guangyuan leaving, Xia Gui only felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart, and an inexplicable grievance spread in his heart.
Not every superior can allow himself to defect to other forces in the manor like Jiang Guangyuan did. For the betrayers who offer to leave, there is often no good end in the end.
Maybe it was out of cherishing the genius, or maybe Jiang Guangyuan himself was honest and kind, he didn't embarrass Xia Gui too much, and chose to let him go.
Boudin's voice sounded in Xia Gui's mind, "Silly boy, I said that this road is not easy to walk, you have to be like this." This is just the beginning, and there is still a lot to endure. ”
"Teacher, don't say much. If I don't even have this kind of awareness, how can I save my father and queen mother? Xia Gui replied with a calm face.
"Hey......" Boudin sighed. From the resolute face of the young man, Boudin saw countless days and nights of forbearance and dormancy, and this old man with a strange temper couldn't help but feel distressed.
Perhaps, Xia Gui has really grown up......
