Zhao Ya had a good impression of this Elder Shen.

It's not just that he spoke for himself before, forcing Xia Jiye to apologize to himself in public.

What's more important is because of this Shen Yunshen's official business.

For example, when he received the task of the master for the first time, although he had a bad attitude, he did everything he had to do, and even kindly reminded himself.

That's a lot of money.

It can be said that Zhao Ya does not expect anyone to take care of himself like Guo Luming, but as long as everyone is as official as Shen Yunshen, then Canglong Temple and even the whole world will be much more peaceful.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a luxury.

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

All of you here are martial artists, and the lowest strength is also the Five Realms, so naturally you don't have to worry about the amount of alcohol.

However, no one will deliberately use qi and blood to dispel alcohol when drinking, and even Zhao Ya will deliberately weaken the operation of the liver, so that he can feel a little drunk.

After all, drinking is that smoky feeling, and if you don't get drunk all the time, it will be too boring.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yunshen suddenly said, "After that day, did this Xia Jiye ever trouble you?" ”

Zhao Ya put down his wine glass, "I didn't look for trouble, I just asked me not to go to Chuanwutang again." ”

"I know that this Xia Jiye has become more and more unpleasant in recent years." Shen Yun said coldly.

However, instead of going deeper, he changed the subject.

"Zhao Ya, I'm not here just to drink this time."

Zhao Ya nodded, "I understand, Elder Shen has something to ask." ”

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhao Ya knew that Shen Yunshen must have come here for something, and it was impossible for him to really come here for wine.

"Haha, talking to a cheerful person is to save energy, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that the New Year is approaching, and there is a division task in the temple that no one has taken over, so I thought of you."

"Oh? What task? ”

Zhao Ya was immediately aroused.

Originally, he planned to go around the contribution office in the next few days to see if there were any tasks suitable for him.

After all, writing a boxing book is not an overnight effort, but his own contribution to the sect is no longer enough.

"Actually, this task is not too difficult, and you don't even need to use any force, but at the same time, the rewards are very rich." Shen Yunshen said.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, because he knew that there would definitely be an aftermath.

Otherwise, how could there be no one to take such a high-quality task.

Really.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Shen Yun sighed deeply.

"But the real tricky part of this task is that you can't use force."

As he spoke, Shen Yunshen took out a list and handed it to Zhao Ya.

"Well, see for yourself."

Zhao Ya took it and opened it, and the task introduction inside was very long, as many as one page.

This should be the longest division mission introduction that Zhao Ya has ever seen.

He took a closer look.

After waiting for a while, after he finished reading it, Shen Yunshen couldn't help but smile.

"How?"

Zhao Ya nodded, "It's really tricky." ”

As he spoke, he placed the list on the table.

Gui Xuanqing next to him listened to it for a long time, but he was in a fog when he heard it, and finally couldn't hold it back at this time.

"What the hell is going on, you say."

"Actually, it's very simple, there is a piece of property in Canglong Temple at the foot of the mountain, which has been rented, and it stands to reason that the rent should be paid every year, but since ten years ago, Canglong Temple has not confiscated the rent of a penny of silver." Shen Yunshen introduced.

Gui Xuanqing's eyes widened, "How can this be?" How bold are these people, they dare to despise Canglong Temple like this, aren't they afraid that Canglong Temple will send someone to clear it? ”

"The problem is here, if you put others aside, Canglong Temple would indeed have started a long time ago, but only these people, Canglong Temple really can't do it." Zhao Ya said slowly.

"Why?"

"Because Canglong Temple always has to take care of its reputation." Zhao Ya said, and then handed the list to Gui Xuanqing.

After Gui Xuanqing finished reading it, he was also speechless for a while.

As Zhao Ya said, Canglong Temple really can't do anything to these people.

Because the people who now live in that property are a group of poor people who are either disabled or orphaned or widowed.

Although Canglong Temple is strong and reasonable, if it really wants to be tough on this group of people, it will definitely attract criticism from the outside world.

At that time, the already declining reputation of Canglong Temple is estimated to be even worse.

"Since it's so difficult, then just forget these rents, just treat them as good deeds, and you can also gain a good reputation." Gui Xuanqing said.

Shen Yun sighed deeply, "We also thought so at the beginning, although these rents are not a small amount, but they are still nothing compared to the reputation of Canglong Temple, so we don't plan to ask for it." But I didn't expect that since then, it has become more and more difficult to get rent from other industries. ”

"As soon as they ask for rent, these people will talk about them, why don't they have to pay us? Until now, even eighty percent of the industries that have made trouble do not pay rent. ”

Zhao Ya's heart moved slightly when he listened.

Because he is as keen as him, he immediately heard that there is definitely something greasy in this.

Canglong Temple is also a big sect among the thirteen sects outside the Huawai, and it is impossible for it to fall to the point where it can't even collect rent.

But if the means are tougher, when those people are rumbling and saying why others don't have to pay, but I want to pay money, I should directly drive these people away.

After all, my family's property, I can give whoever I want to give free, what does it have to do with you?

Therefore, this should be all an excuse or an excuse, and there must be ulterior interests in it.

Seeing Zhao Ya's expression, Shen Yunshen knew that he must have guessed something, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a figure that is praised by the Great Elders, but with this keen insight, he is not an ordinary person.

It seems that I really found the right person this time.

"If only that was it, but recently I received news that the property that did not pay rent at the beginning is actually a problem, and the poor people who are disabled and orphaned are just a front, and someone is secretly directing them, and then making huge profits through this way."

"This has already violated the bottom line of Canglong Temple, so the Great Elder will personally release this master's task."

After speaking, Shen Yunshen looked at Zhao Ya, "But this task is different from the past, it cannot be solved by force, you must be bold and careful, and at the same time, you must be flexible and adaptable." ”

"So I think it's up to you."

Zhao Ya immediately refused.

Joke.

This kind of thankless work, I don't bother to do it.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to practice at home, or enjoy the leisure time of the New Year?

Moreover, this matter is ostensibly to solve the rent problem of Canglong Temple, but in essence, the water is extremely deep, and it may even be related to the problem of power struggle within Canglong Temple.

This kind of quagmire whirlpool, Zhao Ya is reluctant to set foot in it.

After all, he is not even opening his pulse now, even if his strength is not weak, but rashly breaking into a battle of this level will cause trouble to himself.

As if seeing Zhao Ya's concerns, Shen Yunshen said very simply: "I know what you are worried about, but you don't need to do anything else, you just need to solve the matter of rent, and other things guarantee that you will not be implicated, this is the guarantee that the Great Elder and I jointly gave you." ”

Zhao Ya's heart shook slightly, and he finally understood that Shen Yunshen was not just him, and there was also the Great Elder Guan Xuejiang standing behind him.

But the problem is that he only knows the Great Elder Guan Xuejiang on one side, how could he know so much about himself?

Zhao Ya didn't know the relationship between Guan Xuejiang and Guo Luming, so he was a little puzzled.

"After the matter is completed, in addition to the five hundred points of the teacher's contribution, there is additional gratitude, of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is ......."

Shen Yunshen looked at Zhao Ya and said in a calm tone: "From the moment you took the risk of making enemies with Xia Jiye, you have already entered the whirlpool, so at this moment, do you think you can still stay out of the matter?" ”

Zhao Ya smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then picked up the bowl and drank all the wine inside.

"So you already knew."

"Hehe, your tricks and thoughts, hiding from others, hiding from the Great Elder is a joke, and you shouldn't know it, Elder Guo and the Great Elder who taught you martial arts are brothers, you can worship under him, and there are reasons why the Great Elder has repeatedly recommended it."

In fact, Zhao Ya had also guessed before, and it was not until now that he heard Shen Yunshen say it, and then he suddenly realized.

Then he smiled freely, "I see, then it looks like I can't do this thing anymore." ”

In fact, when Zhao Ya tried to worship Guo Luming before, he thought that doing so would likely turn into an opportunity.

It turned out to be just as he expected, but it came a little faster than expected.

The so-called investigation and payment of rent is just a pretense, and its essence is that the Great Elder wants to use this matter to attack the interest groups within Canglong Temple.

Of course, both the Great Elder and Zhao Ya understood that it would be difficult to shake these deep-rooted interest groups with this matter alone.

But it's like opening a mussel, just pry open a crack and the rest is easy.

And Zhao Ya at this time is the crowbar.

Seeing that Zhao Ya should come down, Shen Yunshen was also very happy.

"Come, have a drink."

The meal was eaten until late at night.

After sending Shen Yunshen away, Gui Xuanqing, who had been holding back his words, finally couldn't help it and asked.

"Senior brother, why didn't I understand it, since this matter is so difficult, then why do you want to go next?"

Zhao Ya shook his head with a smile, "You don't understand, there are some things that you can't do if you don't want to, the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself, that's the case." ”

After speaking, Zhao Ya went back to the house.

Leaving Gui Xuanqing standing alone, he whispered: "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes...... It makes sense. ”

Gui Xuanqing felt more and more that Zhao Ya was a genius, otherwise how could he say it so reasonably?

After returning to the house, Zhao Ya washed his face, and then sat on the futon and began to think about it.

Since it should be done, it must be done well.

In fact, there was only one sentence that really moved Zhao Ya today, that is, Shen Yunshen said, do you think you can still stay out of it.

At that time, Zhao Ya understood that his previous thoughts were too naïve.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible for a period of time, and then let Xia Jiye and the others go right after he succeeded in opening the pulse and had enough strength.

But Shen Yunshen's words reminded Zhao Ya, that is, the other party is not stupid, and now he has not shown any threat, so they did not make a move.

But when his strength gets stronger and stronger, the other party will definitely take action after feeling threatened, rather than sitting idly by.

Therefore, what you should do is to act when the time comes, and take the initiative after discovering the opportunity, which is the best way to defend yourself.

And this time, with the endorsement of the Great Elder and Shen Yunshen, it should be a great opportunity.

Zhao Ya unfolded the task list and began to study it carefully.

If you want to do something well, you must first have a deep understanding of it.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

At the same time, in the secret room on the top floor of the library building, Shen Yunshen met Guan Xuejiang and Guo Luming, and then recounted the conversation with Zhao Ya while drinking.

After listening to this, Guan Xuejiang smiled, "This kid is really slippery." ”

Guo Luming frowned slightly, "Senior brother, do you really plan to start cleaning up the accumulated evils through this matter?" ”

"Of course, I've thought about it for a long time, this is already the best way, what's the matter, senior brother, do you have a different opinion?"

"That's not true, I just think we're using Zhao Ya as a gun when we do this?" Guo Luming said.

"Yes." Guan Xuejiang did not hide it, but directly admitted it.

Not only that, but he also said: "Actually, not only we know, but even Zhao Ya himself knows this. ”

"But who made him ambitious, he has to worship under your door, if you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price, this is necessary, he also understands this, so he agreed so neatly."

"Alas, I'm just worried, after all, this Zhao Ya's talent is the only one I have ever seen in my life, if something goes wrong, it will be a big loss to our Canglong Temple."

"Don't worry, with me and Yun Shen here, his safety is absolutely guaranteed, and didn't you say it before, although this kid is not yet open, but with his current strength, it's no problem if he can't beat and want to run." Guan Xuejiang said.

"Then why don't you wait until the end of the year before you act?" Guo Luming said.

Guan Xuejiang understood that his senior brother was still a little reluctant, so he couldn't help but smile.

"Because it is natural to collect debts at the end of the year, those guys will not be suspicious, and this is the time when their vigilance is the lowest, so it is just the opportunity to deal them with a heavy blow."

"As long as the lease is in hand, I can start preparing for the outer gate in the next step."

Zhao Ya was busy for most of the night, and only slept for an hour at night before getting up.

Even so, after a simple wash, Zhao Ya was still in good spirits.

When I went out, the sky was very overcast, and the cold wind was howling non-stop, and it was estimated that it would have to snow for a while.

In such weather, who doesn't want to lie down in the bed and sleep.

But Zhao Ya didn't have that time, and now there were only four or five days left before the New Year, and if he wanted to complete the task, he had to catch up before the year.

Just as Zhao Ya was loading the application and preparing to go down the mountain, Gui Xuanqing came.

"Senior brother, I'll go with you."
