Chapter 485: Overseer
The General Guild of Spiritualists, in Sword City, the national capital of Kunlai Kingdom, is second only to a building in the Imperial Palace.
The huge Zhu Gate, even the lines, have gold wire inlays, two pure gold unicorns in front of the door, mighty and arrogant, flashing golden light, just like the exclusive metal aura of the spiritualist, dazzling and dazzling.
In the courtyard, whether it is a promenade or a small bridge, the edges and handrails are pure gold, and when you enter the courtyard, you feel surrounded by golden light, and the whole guild interprets the four words of gold and splendor clearly.
Unlike the General Guild of Smiths, this is not a corridor-style courtyard, but an open, extraordinary, flower, grass and flowing water, and the fragrance accompanies the sound of rushing water, making people feel a little comfortable.
The depth is like the building of the palace, the four walls are slightly oblique, all are golden appearance, the distant view is like the tower emitting the Buddha's light, the near look is extravagant, the wall converges in the middle, quite a bit of the pyramid feeling.
Inside the tower, the main hall.
Ai Qi grimaced, picked up a cup of tea to drink, and put down the teacup with a sigh.
Zeng Muyang said: "President, you really shouldn't let Yunyu leave yesterday, there are some things that must be cut to the roots." ”
Ai Qi looked at Zeng Muyang sideways and said, "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, who is the grassroots, is it him, or you?"
Zeng Muyang lowered his head and was silent.
Ai Qi said: "In the past, in the Shaman Guild, why did Yun Yu have strength? Probably Lingxia, hehe, but when he was in the Sword Sect, he was like a sword immortal, and with the blue water and green bamboo in his hand, if the old man didn't rely on the beast soul position, he wouldn't be sure to win with the Xingyu Sword in his hand, and the terrifying promotion speed was terrifying." ”
After speaking, Zeng Muyang also felt a little ashamed, after all, until today, he had not broken through the bottleneck of the Spirit King Seven Stars, and Yun Yu had already advanced to the second order, which was once the first ghost talent of Oga Academy.
Ai Qi looked at Du He. After a wink, Du He swept his gaze over the man beside Ai Qi and nodded slightly.
Du He said: "President, let's rest first when you come back, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Ai Qi nodded slowly and said, "Hmm...... The old man is indeed a little tired, let's rest first, Mr. Lu, you can also go and rest. ”
Mr. Lu, named Lu Yuan. He and Hou Lian are the right and left hands of Ye Haitian, and a few days ago, they inexplicably came to the General Guild of Spiritual Magicians, saying that they came to assist President Ai Qi on the order of King Kunlai.
This kind of assistance, how could Ai Qi not know. It's clearly surveillance, but this surveillance is inexplicable.
Ai Qi does have his own little abacus in his heart. But Ye Haitian has never been calculated. Therefore, this kind of behavior is obviously a deterrent to the king's subordinates after he ascends the throne.
Especially the General Guild of Spiritualists, such a big snobbery, although it is used by Ye Haitian, it must also be a trouble for Ye Haitian's heart, at this time, the power is in hand, what to do is to swallow this snobbery one bite at a time.
Ai Qi saw it clearly. After cultivating the spirit all his life, Ye Haitian's thoughts still can't be hidden from Ai Qi.
Before this, Ai Qi's heart was already a little shaken. The Sword Sect has been introspecting itself since the battle, whether it was a mistake to be too desperate for fame and fortune at the beginning, and blindly wanted Ai Qing'er to marry Ye Haitian.
Since ancient times, kings have been difficult to accompany, if Qing'er really arrives in the royal family, I am afraid it is no different from a bird entering a bamboo cage, and at this time, Ai Qi's first thought is Yunyu.
Yun Yu is talented, his strength is much stronger than his peers, and he is not arrogant or arrogant, like the highest peak among the peaks, and the contempt for this young man has become the thing that Ai Qi regrets the most.
Coupled with Ye Haitian's recent movements, Ai Qi is even more contradictory, after he got the position of king, the royal family has gradually reduced its contacts with the General Guild of Spiritualists, and is more about performing government affairs, obviously wanting to kick himself out, but Lu Yuan's appearance further confirmed Ye Haitian's ambition.
Back in the room, Ai Qi pondered, smoothing out his thoughts over and over again, but he always felt that there was something strange in it, why didn't Ye Haitian personally say Zhao'an? What did Lu Yuan oversee do at this time? What would happen if he stopped working for Ye Haitian at this moment and returned to Gali? Why did Yun Yu come to the forging conference this time?
Thinking about it, Du He gently pushed open the door and walked in, and said, "President." "Du He is Ai Qi's earliest subordinate, and he is also the closest and most loyal elder, and it was Du He who conveyed the wishes of father and daughter to each other when Ai Qing'er was in Oga Academy.
"Du He, you go and call Qing'er, I have something to say to you. ”
Du He said, "Do you need to call Elder Zeng?"
Ai Qi shook his head and said, "He's not his own person." ”
Du He nodded solemnly, stepped back and walked out, and after a while, he walked in with Ai Qing'er, Ai Qing'er's expression was a little numb, after seeing Yunyu, she had been feeling sour in her heart, whether it was eating or resting, she couldn't lift her spirits.
Ai Qi said: "Du He, sit down closely." ”
Du He's face was shocked, he had never sat down in front of the president, although he was an elder, he knew that he was just one of the president's followers.
"President, I'm standing, you say. ”
Ai Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Sit, I'll let you sit, and Qing'er will sit too." ”
Du He didn't know why Ai Qi was like this, but his attitude was resolute, so he broke the convention, and sat next to Ai Qi for the first time, Ai Qing'er also nodded slightly and sat down.
Ai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Qing'er, do you hate your father?"
Ai Qing'er's eyes widened suddenly, the first time she heard Ai Qi speak like this, although her father is usually gentle with her, but he is definitely a person who will not bow his head, but this is obviously a rhetorical question, of course hate.
Ai Qing'er said: "Hate, as a father, you left quietly, and it was more than ten years since you left, and Qing'er had no father in her childhood." ”
Ai Qi had tears in his eyes, nodded, and said, "What else?" At this time, Du He was also in tears, and he knew that Ai Qi had his own troubles.
Ai Qing'er said: "Father, I know you want to talk about Yunyu, but that incident was my own mistake, I don't hate you, I only hate myself, many times I want to die, but I'm afraid that I will never see Yunyu again, I am very timid and afraid." As she spoke, tears the size of the bean slipped down Ai Qing'er's pretty face.
Ai Qi said: "Qing'er, father is sorry for you, do you think Yunyu will forgive us?" Ai Qi knew in his heart that maybe Yunyu was really the kind of person who could change the spiritual realm as Ai Qing'er said.
Ai Qing'er raised her head slightly, looked at Ai Qi in confusion, then lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and said, "No, no, he will never forgive me for the rest of his life." ”
Ai Qi said: "I want to leave Ye Haitian. ”
Du He and Ai Qing'er both looked at Ai Qi, their eyes full of disbelief.
Ai Qi smiled and said, "I know you don't believe it, but the Spirit Master Guild is my work for many years, I don't want to see it destroyed, I think, only Yunyu can save it." ”
Du He said: "Then you were still yesterday?"
Ai Qi said: "Lu Yuan is here, I have to do that, I must gain his trust in advance, otherwise Ye Haitian may really have to make a move." ”
Du He suddenly realized and said, "You mean...... Lu Yuan is here to spy on us?"
Ai Qi nodded and said: "It must be, now that the king's position is firmly seated, he wants to kick us away, and then absorb the strong and eliminate the rebels, and I, Ai Qi, must be the rebel, Ye Haitian's thoughts, how can the old man not know?"
"Who dares to be the strong man who is absorbed, I, Du He, will be the first to kill him!" Du He said solemnly.
Ai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Du He, we are friends, I understand your loyalty, but if you look around, how many strong people are there among the disciples of this Spirit Master Guild?"
Du He was stunned for a moment, that's right, when he came back this time, he did feel a little lonely in the meeting, could it be that many people had already taken refuge in the royal family?
Du He said: "It's really poisonous, President, what should we do?
Ai Qidao: "Participate, how can you not participate, acting must be done well, acting really, I will still be in Kunlai Country now, self-protection is the first, as for Yunyu, the old man hopes to meet him once and sincerely apologize." ”
Du He knows Ai Qi, Ai Qi is not a wicked person, from his youth to the present, he has suffered more than anyone else, and the fear and loneliness of hunting, killing, cheating, and seclusion have created such a person.
Being with Ye Haitian is just for the strength of the guild, and letting his daughter marry Ye Haitian is also to give his daughter the best home, and today, he is old, and he finds that he can't play with these forces, so he sees it clearly, sees everything clearly, and sees himself clearly.
Du He believes that Ai Qi's words come from the bottom of his heart, he is resolute, he will do what he decides, and he will introspect when he knows that he is wrong, no matter what is right or wrong, it is definitely a man's doing, just for the guild, and this is why Du He has followed him for decades.
When the two were talking, Ai Qing'er fell into deep thought, the battle between these forces is naturally not something that a girl like her can understand, and at this moment, her mind is full of Yunyu, all self-blame, and all regret.
Du He looked at Ai Qing'er and wanted to bring her back to her senses, but Ai Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel with her, it's all my fault, I'm not a good father." ”
Du He gritted his teeth and got up, and said, "President, I'll go see Yunyu." (To be continued......)
