Chapter 12 The Hall of the Trees
Chapter 12 The Hall of Trees
The clouds, the tree hall, the nine-colored glow slowly swims in the sky.
In the hall, Chen Hua still sat in the courtyard to deal with the official documents like a mountain, if he was tired, he just took a nap on the table, and then immediately got up and continued to work. While dealing with official business, he would also look up at the door of the Linshu Hall very frequently, and if the door moved, he would immediately go over to test whether it was Ningsi coming.
But since Ningsi left, the door of the Linshu Hall has not moved as if it had been sealed by time.
Usually, the Linshu Hall is much quieter than the courtyards where other priests live, one is that the Linshu Hall is in the farthest cloud, and the other is that Chenhua is not hospitable. During the time that Chenhua was confined, even the gods who were in charge of patrolling in the past rarely set foot here. The Linshu Hall stands quietly as if it is about to be forgotten.
Today, a faint "whoosh" sound sounded from afar, like a silver needle piercing the tranquility of the Linshu Palace, and then approached the Linshu Hall unhurriedly.
Chen Hua couldn't hear it, and he didn't have any preparations.
The moment the door was suddenly pushed open, Chen Hua was frightened, except for the hand holding the pen shook and wrote a crooked stroke, he didn't show anything else.
Shuo Heng walked in with a smiling expression as usual, and the cat teasing stick was twisted in his hand and made a green sound.
Seeing the comer, Chen Hua didn't dare to delay, immediately got up and simply tidied up his clothes, then lowered his head and lowered his eyes, clasped his hands in front of him, and stood quietly at the table.
"I haven't seen you for many days, I'll come to see you." Shuo Heng said as he walked around the table and Chenhua, and casually pulled out two pages of official documents and pretended to flip through them. "I thought that his absence would have some impact on you, but I didn't expect you to be as diligent as before, no, more conscientious."
Chen Hua didn't reply because he couldn't hear it.
"Eh! Look at my memory! Saying that, Shuo Heng patted his head pretending to be enlightened and said, "I forgot that your ears were taken away by me~ Hahaha!" Then he swept the cat teasing stick in his hand over Chenhua's ear and curled Chenhua's neck in an itch.
"I'll give you back this knowledge, it is said that you are not only punished so lightly for committing a crime, but I, Shuo Heng, am a person who cherishes talents, and I can't bear to be too harsh on you, don't let me down on my heart." Shuo Heng said with a seemingly friendly expression.
Chen Hua understood what Shuo Heng wanted to get from him, but he didn't want to be restrained, the method of punishing first and then rewarding was what Shuo Heng was used to, Chen Hua just wanted to deal with official documents quietly in the Linshu Palace, and didn't want to be used too much by Shuo Heng.
"Chen Hua thanked Shuo Hengjun, but I'm afraid that I can't afford Shuo Hengjun's love." Chen Hua respectfully saluted Shuo Heng.
Chenhua's refusal made Shuo Heng feel very unhappy, he knew that Chenhua didn't want to be pinched by himself, but the more Chenhua resisted, the more it aroused Shuo Heng's heart.
Chenhua is very strange. Many years ago, Chen Hua was just a nameless scattered immortal in the Six Realms, wandering around alone without seeking fame or profit, and the first time his name was known by the Cloud Realm was because he casually dealt with something that made the Cloud Realm a little headache at that time. Later, without waiting for Shuo Heng to reward him, he left to go to the Netherworld, and continued to travel, during which he was a guest of a certain ghost king, and it didn't take long for him to leave the Netherworld and go to the Demon Realm, and he stayed in the Demon Realm for a long time, it is said that there were several demon lords in charge of one side who wanted to keep him, he politely refused, and then turned around and went to the world, it was such a person who seemed to be unable to stay anywhere, and after living in the world for a few years, he suddenly entrusted several divine envoys as a guarantee to recommend him to serve in the cloud realm, thinking that he owed him a reward Shuo Heng agreed, casually arranged a civil service without authority for him to do, but this time he didn't come to the cloud realm alone, and when he came to report, he also brought a child and followed him like a tail.
At first, Shuo Heng didn't take Chenhua seriously, let alone look at him seriously. It wasn't until the Stealing Soul incident a while ago that he realized that Chenhua, who had been ignored by him, was not a simple character. During the period of Chen Hua's confinement, he investigated Chen Hua, although he did not find out his origin, but from the mouths of all parties, he heard that Chen Hua was a scattered immortal who studied everywhere in the name of wandering, and he must have learned a lot of things in the six realms over the years, such as stealing Lingche, which has been lost for more than 10,000 years, can be learned by him, this person is really a rare treasure.
Whether the baby is voluntary or not, as long as it is discovered by Shuo Heng, it must be left behind by the cloud realm and make the best use of it, which is Shuo Heng's consistent purpose.
"Chenhua, you see that I didn't punish Ning Si for causing such a big disaster because of his dereliction of duty this time, isn't that because I value you. Thinking about how many cultivators yearn for this Cloud Realm, if it weren't for your inner talent, it would be difficult to gain a foothold here just by looking at Ningsi's ability. Don't think that you can enjoy everything in the cloud realm by dealing with some official documents every day, even a patrol guard here has to dedicate all to the cloud realm.
Hearing this, Chen Hua sighed heavily in his heart, he understood that as long as Shuo Heng knew about stealing Lingche, he would never have a quiet day alone, and after that, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being forced to sell his life by Shuo Heng, but Ning Si's innocence really shouldn't be used as a weight to contain him.
"Contemptible...... The ability is limited, less than one-ten-thousandth of what Shuo Hengjun expected, thanks to Shuo Hengjun's love, if there is a need in the cloud realm, Chen Hua is willing to listen to Shuo Hengjun's arrangement and do his best. This is probably the biggest concession that Chen Hua can make at the moment, just to let Shuo Heng not embarrass the silk.
It's just that this answer still can't satisfy Shuo Heng, what he wants is Chenhua's absolute obedience.
Sure enough, the weight was still not heavy enough, Shuo Heng thought to herself.
Covering the thoughts in his heart, Shuo Heng put on a high-ranking posture and said: "You are now in the cloud realm, enjoying how many cultivators can't ask for blessings, whether you should do your best or go all out You weigh it yourself, Chenhua, don't rely on my love for you now to be perfunctory to me, you know very well what I want, don't let me wait too long." ”
“…… Be. Chen Hua replied.
Without seeing it, Shuo Heng snorted coldly and closed the door of the Linshu Hall again.
