Sima He's relationship with the Hall of Rewards and Punishments was much better, and Xiao Yuansheng's imminent promotion to head this time was basically the same as before for him. Shi Jian took good care of him when he was in charge, but he was forced to be fair and not be too partial to them; Xiao Yuansheng acted in a bit of Shi Jian's style, but his personality was too brave and brave, not as good as Shi Jian's combination of rigidity and softness, but he also had a good impression of him Lingji Mountain, and I believe there would be nothing bad.

What makes Sima He happiest is that Shi Jian dealt with the change in the sect's ranking, since Hall Master Zhang went to visit Tiangongmen, Tiangongmen still seems to be very calm, and there is no dissatisfaction or unacceptable situation; and the protection of Kong Rui seems to have been strengthened, as long as Kong Rui, the most powerful disciple of Lingji Mountain, can be safe, then he Sima He is the happiest; and from next year, for five consecutive years, he Lingji Mountain will have the right to be the first to select spiritual disciples from Qianlong Hall, so that a group of talented disciples can be selected again, and maybe he will be able to change the situation of Lingji Mountain in one fell swoop。

Sima He knew in his heart that when he had just created the pulse of Lingji Mountain, the head of the sect gave him such a power, and selected five disciples with the best talent of the year for five consecutive years, that is, Zhao Yaozhong, Gu Yunshan and Ji Feng and the other five people, except for Yun Gang, a disciple who was accepted halfway, now the entire Lingji Mountain is the five of them plus Kong Rui is a late-stage spirit disciple; among those five disciples, the one who makes him feel the most sorry is Ji Feng, if it weren't for the fact that Ling Ji Mountain had just created a vein back then, the affairs were complicated, and the resources were lacking, with Ji Feng's talent and diligence, he was very likely to advance to the spirit master.

And now, because of Kong Rui's repeated miraculous achievements, they have received many rewards from the sect for this, and the resources they have been rationed are also much more sufficient; if there are talented disciples, it is very likely that one or two spirit masters will be cultivated in the next twenty or thirty years, so that they can be on an equal footing with other branches.

Gu Yunshan acted as an agent for many affairs on Lingji Mountain, and was very busy, so she had to find Fan Mingfang to help with these chores. Fortunately, Fan Mingfang is Ji Feng's beloved wife, and the rest of the disciples also respect her very much, and Fan Mingfang also acts vigorously and resolutely, quite masculine. Gu Yunshan asked her to help, and the two of them also happened to complement each other, and Sima He knew that Gu Yunshan still did not have comprehensive management ability, so he acquiesced to Fan Mingfang and Gu Yunshan temporarily taking charge of the daily affairs of Lingji Mountain.

Although during this period, Yun Gang has also been in Lingji Mountain, but most of his time is only used for his own cultivation and in the workshop of Lingji Mountain, after all, he can only be regarded as half of the disciples of Lingji Mountain, and it is inconvenient to participate in the daily management of Lingji Mountain; Yun Gang's attainments in refining weapons are extraordinary, and he also has great room to play in the workshop of Lingji Mountain, and he can make what he imagines as he wants; and he also teaches everything he knows to the senior brothers in the workshop without any reservation, and all the disciples on Lingji Mountain have a good impression of this young late-stage spiritual disciple。

Sima He also often went to the workshop to instruct the disciples on their refining skills, and could often see Yun Gang also there, so the master and apprentice discussed together. Although Sima He's refining skills are extraordinary, he is not mainly refining weapons now, and seeing that Yun Gang has some points of refining skills that are better than his own opinions, he is also very happy at the moment, and he also calls on all the disciples to learn from each other and improve together.

On this day, Sima He received a summons from Deputy Hall Master Chen, and hoped that he could make something strange as soon as possible, Sima He thought about it, and couldn't think of anything else to do in a short time. Although Lingji Mountain has received a lot of attention recently, except for Zhao Yaozhong and Ji Feng and other retreat disciples, no other disciples have enough ability to attract special attention from others, so it seems that they can only think of more ways.

Sima He thought about it, and he didn't know how to make something strange, he was anxious, so he thought of going to the workshop to see how the disciples' skills were growing, and by the way, he was quiet.

As soon as he stepped into the workshop, Sima He saw that Yun Gang was also discussing something with the other disciples there, and as soon as he saw Yun Gang, he immediately had an idea in his heart, and hurriedly sent a message to Yun Jue and Deputy Hall Master Chen, inviting them to come to Lingji Mountain to talk about it.

Deputy Hall Master Chen was closer to Lingji Mountain, and he had something on his mind, so as soon as he received Sima He's summons, he immediately rushed to Lingji Mountain, and saw Sima He waiting for him in the main hall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Sima is in such a hurry to find Brother Fool over?"

"Of course, it's a ploy to catch the spies, but we have to wait for one more person to come. Sima He smiled.

"Who is Senior Brother Sima waiting for?" Deputy Hall Master Chen hurriedly asked.

"What is Senior Brother Chen's recent opinion on the progress of arresting the spies?" Sima He did not answer him, but asked rhetorically.

"At present, the progress is still not much, and I think that the spy is indeed very deep. "Deputy Hall Master Chen still doesn't dare to say that Yuan Fei is the most suspicious.

"Senior Brother Chen, is there any news about the apprentice Kong Rui in the near future?" Sima He was confident, so he changed the topic and asked again.

"Since the last time I heard that it appeared in the no-man's land of Chare Prefecture, there has been no news of Master Kong's nephew. But now it's mostly good news, after that incident, I don't think many killer organizations dare to covet Master Kong's nephew. I believe that Master Confucius's nephew should be safe and sound. Deputy Hall Master Chen shook his head and said.

While the two were talking, Yun Jue also rushed over from Mingding Mountain.

In Sima He's main hall, he also saw Deputy Hall Master Chen, Yun Jue couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said to the two: "Hall Master Chen, I don't want to see you here." ”

When Deputy Hall Master Chen saw Yun Jue coming, he knew that Sima He said that the person he was waiting for was him, so he also wondered in his heart, and said to Yun Jue: "Yunzhang Peak, I came to Lingji Mountain to discuss some things with Senior Brother Sima, but I was fated to meet Yunzhang Peak. ”

I only heard Sima He say: "Both of you please take a seat, this time I invite the two of you to come here, just to discuss the matter of Yun Gang, now Yun Gang is cultivating under the gate of Mingding Mountain and Lingji Mountain at the same time, and he also needs to report in Wanshi Hall, so I will invite the two of you to come to my Lingji Mountain together." ”

Deputy Hall Master Chen naturally knew that this visit to Lingji Mountain must have something to do with the arrest of the traitor, so he naturally didn't mind what Sima He said; Yun Jue was full of slander in his heart, thinking that I would personally run for such a little thing, but he was also very smart, and immediately knew that it must be more than just such a thing, and only thought that Sima He might have other things, so he snorted and asked: "I don't think Senior Brother Sima will let us run for such a small matter." Senior Brother Sima has something to say, and the foolish brother should do his best. ”

"Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother Chen, you all know about the little apprentice Kong Rui, right?" Sima He got straight to the point.

"We still know a little about Master Kong's nephew. Yun Jue and Deputy Hall Master Chen naturally nodded. "In order to protect the apprentice, the junior brother has a reluctant invitation here, so I invite Senior Brother Yun and Senior Brother Chen to come over and discuss. Sima He also explained his purpose.

Deputy Hall Master Chen knew this, so he was naturally silent, but Yun Jue felt strange, so he asked, "Senior Brother Sima, please speak directly, see what we can do for Senior Brother Confucius?"

"This matter is related to Yun Gang, so I asked Senior Brother Yun to discuss it together. Of course, Sima He couldn't hide it from Yun Jue.

"What is it related to Gang'er, what is the junior brother going to do?" Yun Jue was even more strange, and hurriedly asked.

"Actually, there's nothing special, just ask Yun Gang to help pay attention to some things. Sima He said lightly.

Yun Jue thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Sima, Gang'er is currently under your Lingji Mountain, but the management of him is still under my Mingding Mountain." It turned out that Yun Jue was afraid that Sima He's plan would put Yun Gang in danger, so he put forward the agreement at that time.

"Of course, the younger brother naturally won't let Gang'er do any tasks, just pay attention to some things. Sima He naturally knew what he meant, so he explained.

Yun Jue saw that Sima He just asked Yun Gang to help pay attention to some things, and there was no danger, although seeing that Sima He didn't know his plan, but for him, as long as Yun Gang didn't have any risk, he immediately agreed: "Such a small thing, I hope Gang'er will not disgrace his mission." ”

"Senior Brother Yun, can you and I make Gang'er's apprenticeship public?" Sima He saw that Yun Jue agreed, so he asked again.

Yun Jue thought about it carefully, knowing that Lingji Mountain has been extremely strong recently, and it is not a shame for his nephew to worship under the gate of Lingji Mountain at the same time, but he can get the protection of two branches, why not do it? Glancing at Deputy Hall Master Chen again, he thought he knew the reason why Deputy Hall Master Chen was here.

Yun Jue and Sima He casually talked about Yun Gang's cultivation, and seeing that there was nothing else, Yun Jue got up first and left.

Deputy Hall Master Chen didn't know earlier that Yun Gang was also worshipping under the Lingji Mountain Gate, and when he heard Sima He say this, he immediately understood Sima He's arrangement.

Seeing Yun Jue leaving, Deputy Hall Master Chen immediately said to Sima He: "Senior brother is smart, foolish brother will go back and make arrangements." ”

Seeing that Deputy Hall Master Chen had understood, Sima He was not polite, and said to Deputy Hall Master Chen: "Senior Brother Chen, I hope that this time I can succeed immediately." ”

Deputy Hall Master Chen said: "This time, I will bother the junior brother. Then he got up and took his leave.
