Chapter 56: The Dilemma

"Mr. Qin, this is to take care of our Xiao family's business, what is inconvenient for me. But you and I are acquaintances, the five hundred taels of silver is the external price, since you have found me, there is no need for such an expensive price, tomorrow I will ask someone to send three patches of Dimensity Bone Paste here, you can give one thousand taels at that time. Xiao Jing said.

"Then thank you Miss Xiao Jing, I'll give you the money now." Qin Ziling saw that Xiao Jing had deliberately erased five hundred taels of silver for him, and although he was surprised and surprised, he did not shirk hypocrisy, but arched his hand, and then directly took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and handed it to Xiao Jing.

"Okay, you can come here tomorrow and get it." Xiao Jing took the silver ticket very simply and said.

"There is Miss Lao Xiaoqing, then I will leave first, you are busy." Qin Ziling stood up and said, and then deliberately arched his hand at Xia Yan.

Seeing Qin Ziling leaving, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say, "Miss, this Qin Feng doesn't even dare to go into the inner city to buy ointment, will there be any problems?" ”

"You think too much, a person who has cultivated at least the pinnacle level of iron skin, and is very likely to cultivate leg skills, and may even be in the realm of strength, is willing to earn five or six taels of silver each time through hunting, and is now willing to spend 1,500 taels of silver to buy Tianji Bone Paste for a friend who is likely to only practice the muscle realm, what can be the problem? Everyone has their own secrets, as long as I know that he is not a bad person, and he is also a person who values righteousness, why not help him! Xiao Jing replied, and when he spoke, his eyes looked at the brocade fish swimming around in the pool, revealing extremely complicated feelings.

Once, she was unwilling to escape alone because of the word "love and righteousness", but as a result, she had no choice but to disperse her strength, and she was ridiculed by many people that she was "the benevolence of women", and thus ruined a good future, and even the people in the family hated iron and steel, and reprimanded her for being "the benevolence of women".

After listening to it too much, sometimes even Xiao Jing herself is suspicious, did she do something wrong?

If there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides at that time, and there was no chance of winning at all, she would resolutely choose to flee, trying to avenge her grandfather and those guards and clansmen in the future, but at that time, her grandfather had already injured the people of the Netherworld Sect, and the reinforcements were also on the way, as long as she stayed, there was a great hope of saving some guards and clansmen, and there was also her grandfather's corpse, could she be a deserter?

Think about it from her own perspective, what if she is one of those guards and clansmen? There is a clear hope of turning the situation around, but the whole army is wiped out because of the boss's imminent escape, will they die willingly?

If this is the case, if something similar happens in the future, how many guards and clansmen will swear to guard the Xiao family?

Or if she succeeds and does not lose her strength, who will rebuke her for being "a woman's kindness"? will only praise her as a heroine with affection and righteousness, and her momentum will be as strong as the sky.

But the reality is always cruel.

She succeeded, but at the same time, she also injured her foundation and lost her strength, so she became a little woman who only had "the kindness of a woman" and couldn't become a big thing.

Today, she seems to faintly see the shadow of herself in Qin Ziling's body.

A master is willing to deign to hunt to make money, and he does not hesitate to take out 1,500 taels of silver for a friend who practices muscles!

"It's just that Miss has sold a lot of wild things and medicinal herbs to him at the original price before, and now she has wiped out five hundred taels of silver at once, isn't it a bit too ......," Xia Yan said.

"For me, it's not a lot of money, it's not a lot of money, it's not the same for him, you can go into the mountains to hunt dozens of times. In this case, why not sell him a favor if he can sell it? Selling favors also depends on people, and if you change someone, even if your cultivation is high, I won't sell this favor, because he is likely to be a white-eyed wolf, who eats you, takes yours, and bites you in the end. But Qin Feng won't, don't look at him didn't say anything grateful, he didn't say anything before, in fact, he must remember this love in his heart. ”

"Well, I don't expect anything in return. With his cultivation and identity, he can't help with my affairs if he wants to. Speaking of the back, Xiao Jing didn't know what he remembered, and his face was sad.

"Miss, is the family forcing you again?" Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but look worried.

"Hehe, big family, personal interests can always be sacrificed, since I have lost my strength, in their eyes, I am just a woman who can be used as an exchange of benefits! Fortunately, I have taken precautions to control a lot of industries over the years, and I can generate many benefits every year, so I still have some qualifications to negotiate. It's just that I don't know how long this thing can drag on. Xiao Jing said, with a hint of mockery on his face.

"Hmph, it's really not good, then we'll pick up some people and leave Fanghua County directly. Back then, Miss, your feat, others can't understand it, all of us who were slaves and servants are admired in our hearts, especially the people who were saved by you back then, as long as you say a word, they will definitely be willing to protect you and leave. Xia Yan said.

"Don't be stupid, how much can you do? Besides, many people still have wives and children! Forget it, not to mention these things, it's not that bad yet. Xiao Jing said and waved his hand, then took some fish food, scattered it in the pond, and quietly watched the big and small brocade fish swarm to grab food.

……

"It's normal for young people to be arrogant, I know that." In the backyard of Han Tie Courtyard, Zuo Le said calmly after listening to Zheng Xinghan's report.

"But Master Zuo, I think Senior Brother Nangong Yue's character is ......" Zheng Xinghan saw that Master Zuo didn't seem to pay attention at all, hesitated, and had the courage to speak again.

"Conduct?" Hearing this, Zuo Le raised his hand and interrupted Zheng Xinghan, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery, and said: "Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, Master is fifty years old this year, and I dare not say that I have read countless people in this life, but the people I have seen must have experienced many more things than you." What kind of character Nangong Yue, I can't see it? ”

"But so what? The times are different, when the Great Qi Kingdom was founded, the promotion of virtue was based on "virtue" first, and then academic talent. But now is a troubled time, only with strength and soldiers can there be a position of power and self-preservation, and how many people will care about virtue? ”

"My Han Tie Courtyard is actually surviving in the cracks now, and the situation is getting worse and worse now, why? Have you thought about it, that is, this Cold Iron Courtyard is supported by a strong martial artist! If there is another strong martial artist in the Han Tie Palm Academy, then the situation will be completely different, and we will have a greater ability to protect ourselves and speak in this city. ”

"You have also seen these days that all forces are courting Nangong Yue, and even someone as proud as Lu Taiqiang does not hesitate to put down his shelf and deliberately slap Nangong Yue. Do they value Nangong Yue's character? No, they are all staring at his martial arts talent, and they are all thinking that there will be a strong martial artist in their camp in the future. At this time, if the teacher changes his attitude towards Nangong Yue because of what you said, and gives up cultivating him, he will be able to leave the Hantie Courtyard justifiably and join the other people's sects. Then, our Cold Iron Palm Academy has lost the hope of having one more strength martial artist in recent years, and just relying on being a teacher alone, maybe one day it will be devoured by others. ”

"But as long as the teacher does not change his attitude towards Nangong Yue and continues to cultivate him with his heart, even if he becomes a strong martial artist, he is still my disciple, and he always has to protect the cold iron master, and he does not dare to do something that deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors, and few people can carry this big hat!"

"Xinghan, you are a steady and honest person, and you are very relieved to be a teacher. But some things, especially in this troubled world, many things can't be done just by feelings, according to preferences, it depends on the overall situation. To be honest, Ziling's recent behavior is beyond my expectations, and I appreciate him and like him from the bottom of my heart. But it's a pity that his talent is not good, his potential is exhausted, and his fate is doomed, even if he is a teacher, what can he change? ”

"However, you don't have to worry, there is a promising teacher in one day, and nothing can happen that cannibalism is allowed!" After that, Zuo Le patted Zheng Xinghan on the shoulder, and his face was serious.

"Zuo Shi, I understand!" Zheng Xinghan nodded and replied, his mood was very heavy, as if he was blocked by something, he couldn't vent.

Why can a person like Nangong Yue be arrogant and still be cultivated?

Why should people like Qin Ziling be humiliated and not treated fairly?

But Zheng Xinghan knows that what Zuo Le said is right, now this world is like this, strength is everything!

"It's good to understand, by the way, Ziling can be completely trusted, and his actual combat ability is also good. Recently, it has not been peaceful outside the city, and in two or three months, it will be almost the time when the cold snow lotus grass is ripe, you can take him and Mu Xuan to pick it together. Zuo Le patted Zheng Xinghan on the shoulder again and said.

"Yes, Zuo Shi." Zheng Xinghan's eyes lit up when he heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly replied.

"You, you, after all, you still can't get rid of your emotional problem!" Zuo Le pointed at Zheng Xinghan and shook his head.

"Hey, hey." Zheng Xinghan scratched his head.

"Go ahead!" Zuo Le waved his hand.
