Chapter 316 Don’t you want to run away too?

Yang Xiangwei instantly lost all favor towards the White Lotus Sect.

"Find a way to take over the White Lotus branch in Quanchun Town."

"Yes, Lord Mountain God."

…

She had to accept him. If she didn't accept him, Yang Xiangwei was afraid that if the White Lotus Sect could train one Zhao Hong, they would be able to train a second, third, and fourth one...

That's so disgusting!

Ming Qi took the order and left.

He was not surprised at all that Yang Xiangwei wanted to take action against the White Lotus Sect. After all, he knew in his previous life that the White Lotus Sect was not a good thing.

The reason why they hadn't moved that branch was simply because they had just taken over Lanwa Town and didn't have the time to spare.

Now that the White Lotus branch in Quanchun Town has fallen into their hands, don't blame them for being ruthless.

Ming Qi immediately arranged people to investigate. He had arranged people before, but he was not ready to take action at that time, so he only touched the surface. This time he had to confirm it again and go into more detail.

As soon as he moved, Yu Zhongdou ran over like a dog that smelled something.

“I want to go too!”

Ming Qi: "...You are not trying to use this as an excuse to evade government affairs, are you? Have you forgotten that you are the owner of the manor and I am still a child?"

Yu Zhongdou blushed: "That... that's not because you are more capable than me! How can I compare with you? I am just a few years older than you. Those account books and government affairs are enough to make my head hurt. You should just work harder. The more capable you are, the more work you should do.

I may not be very smart, but I have strong limbs. For things like Quanchun Town that require physical exertion, leave it to me..."

He patted his chest, as if there would be absolutely no problem if he were to take care of it.

Ming Qi looked at Yu Zhongdou's confident expression and rationally understood that he did have some passion and drive, which could play a role in some practical actions.

But when he thought of the mountains of government affairs in Lanwa Town, those complicated account books and thorny people's livelihood issues that needed to be dealt with urgently, and Yu Zhongdou, as the owner of Qiong Liquor Winery, should have assumed more responsibilities, but he always wanted to run away at critical moments, Ming Qi felt very angry.

"No, you must stay in the village to handle official business." Ming Qi said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation. "The situation in Quanchun Town is fraught with danger. We are not fully aware of the situation of the White Lotus branch over there. We need more experienced and thoughtful people to act rashly. You stay in the village and handle government affairs, which is also a contribution to our plan."

When Yu Zhongdou heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of loss.

His mouth was slightly pouted, like a child whose favorite toy was taken away, his eyes full of grievance: "Ming Qi, look at my strength, it's a pity not to go to Quanchun Town to use it. Those official duties in the village, I really..."

His voice gradually lowered, and he seemed to realize that his words were somewhat untenable.

Ming Qi felt a little sorry for Yu Zhongdou's pitiful appearance, but he still hardened his heart and emphasized again: "Don't say anything more, this is an order. If you handle the government affairs in the village properly, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to participate in the operations outside in the future. Now, hurry back and deal with the backlog of affairs in the past few days."

After saying that, Ming Qi turned around and was about to leave, not giving Yu Zhongdou any chance to argue.

"Ming Qi!" Yu Zhongdou suddenly shouted, with a hint of despair in his voice.

Ming Qi paused for a moment, but did not look back.

"All right……"

Yu Zhongdou spoke in a low and helpless voice, and turned with heavy steps to walk towards the owner's office.

Lili on his shoulder comforted him with a few words: "Don't be sad! If you can't handle it well, he will definitely help you! 】

[Relieved!] 】

"Are you offering this as comfort?"

[Yes, why not?] You know how capable you are. 】Lili has followed him for so long, how could she not know who her host is?

He's fine in a fight, but if he's asked to handle official business, it's simply the end of him.

If Ming Qi hadn't been holding on tightly and forcing its host to "practice", it wouldn't even be able to do this now.

After handling official business for an entire afternoon, Yu Zhongdou felt as if he was in an endless nightmare.

Those densely packed numbers in the account books seemed to have turned into little ants, crawling around in his mind and making him dizzy.

Every time he picked up a document, he felt like he was carrying a mountain, which made him breathless.

After finally making it to dark, he felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body and he was almost exhausted.

"No, if this continues I'm really going to fall apart. I have to go out and replenish my energy."

Yu Zhongdou muttered to himself as he dragged his exhausted body out of the owner's office.

At this moment, all he wanted was to find a place to have a good meal so that he could escape from the heavy official duties.

As soon as I walked onto the street, I saw Mona jumping around picking snacks at a street food stall.

When she looked up, she was shocked to see Yu Zhongdou looking listless and distraught. "What's wrong with you? You look so bad, are you sick?"

Yu Zhongdou smiled bitterly, sighed, and told Mengna the whole story.

As he spoke, he kept shaking his head, his face full of grievance and helplessness: "You don't know, I just want to go to Quanchun Town to help, and follow Mingqi and the others to deal with the White Lotus Sect. How exciting it would be! But Mingqi wouldn't let me, and insisted that I stay in the village to deal with these crappy official duties. I was almost tortured to death this afternoon."

Meng Na didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "How dare you say that? You are an adult, and you let Ming Qi, a child, help you with official business. It's already too much. And you want to run away and throw all these things to a child like him. This is too much."

Yu Zhongdou wanted to retort, but swallowed the words back.

Because what they said was not wrong, Ming Qi was indeed a "child", but he was not an ordinary child.

Mona also knew Mingqi's abilities. Even though he was only six or seven years old, even her mother would praise him after seeing his abilities.

She also said that if Ming Qi wasn't too young, she would have wanted to bring him home as her son-in-law.

Mengna quickly shook off the thought and asked, "By the way, Brother Yu, when are you going to Quanchun Town? You must take me with you then."

"Didn't you just tell me that I should stay in the village to handle official business?" This time it was Yu Zhongdou's turn to be speechless.

"You can go after you've dealt with it."

Yu Zhongdou: “…”

You're talking about me. Don't you want to run away too?

He asked Mona: "Does your mother agree? Didn't you just go out to complete a mission last time?"

"It's because I just went out last time and lay down for a few days. My mother thought the mission was too dangerous. Now she is watching me very closely, afraid that I would secretly take another mission..." Mona said that the last mission was nothing. She just served as a "tool" for the mountain god and she didn't even get enough.

But it would be different if we went out with Yu Zhongdou and the others. It’s just a small Quanchun Town, and it’s not a ghost mask. We can definitely deal with it.

Yu Zhongdou didn't dare to agree and just vaguely said he would talk about it later.

Mona is not so easy to deal with. She has made up her mind. She has been keeping a close eye on Yu Zhongdou during this period of time and will catch up with him as soon as he runs.
