Chapter 12: Going on a business trip at public expense to find someone

The situation was urgent and no one was in the mood to hold a welcome ceremony for the disciples of Yanyun Tower. All processes are paused and will be resumed next time. As soon as the meeting ended, Ning Mingmei and Chang Feichang were called to the back hall by Sect Leader Qi.

Sect Master Qi gave them a jade scroll and said, "This is the map of Yaochuan. Please accept it. Report if anything happens. Be careful. Save those who can be saved. The safety of the elders and disciples of Qingji Sect comes first."

Ning Mingmei said: "This leader really cares about the people."

The system looked at him sideways. Why does Ning Mingmei sound like he is mocking others when he praises them?

Ning Mingmei took the jade slip. Just as he was putting the jade slip on his head, he heard Sect Master Qi instructing Chang Feichang: "Mingmei has just come out of seclusion for ten years, and he is a simple person. Junior Brother Feichang, I'll trouble you to take good care of him."

Chang Feichang said, "No problem."

simple.

Fang Wuyu was also in the back hall. He had a sullen look on his face and clearly did not trust them. He glanced at Ning Mingmei and said, "Can you do it? This involves the matter of Yanyun Tower."

What it means is that as both are the number one immortal sects in the world, they cannot embarrass themselves in front of each other.

This time, Yanyun Tower was embarrassed and Qingji Sect came to complain. This was originally a handle that Qingji Sect could use to brag about. If Ning Mingmei messed things up, it would become a laughing stock of the Qingji Sect.

So his words and deeds showed his distrust of Ning Mingmei.

Ning Mingmei did not respond to him, but said to Sect Leader Qi: "Brother, I have one thing that I am very worried about this time."

System: Are you finally starting to worry about your own strength?

Qi Miancheng also frowned: "Junior brother, I know you just came out of seclusion and don't know much about Yaochuan. I happen to have a sword here..."

Ning Mingmei: "Do we get financial subsidies for this business trip? Are there any reimbursement standards for food, sleep and travel? What are the usual reimbursement standards of Qingji Sect? Senior Sister Bai told me that the cost of living in Yaochuan City is very high."

Don't recommend your sword.

As we all know, "reimbursement" is a very flexible word, as flexible as the role of intestinal flora in the biological world: it can be used for beauty, to cure cancer, and if in a few years a journal says that it can be used as clean energy, Ning Mingmei will not be surprised.

Maybe the review committee of that journal is from the gut flora company.

Back to the original topic, "reimbursement" is a very flexible thing. Shaxian snacks and the Yuanmingyuan "family banquet" are both meals. Capsule hotels and Hilton hotels are all about sleeping. Green trains and first class cabins are both ways of traveling.

People live to eat, sleep, and travel. Therefore, reimbursement of these items has been equally reasonable from ancient times to the present.

Qi Miancheng said: "This budget..."

Ning Mingmei said: "Brother, no matter how much you give me, I will spend it within the budget."

It means top flower. Even if you ask students to use their subway tickets to make up the invoice. A subway ticket receipt of 3,000 yuan is enough to travel around Beijing 300 times. If a graduate student does not have a friend from whom she can borrow invoices to get reimbursement from her supervisor, her academic career will be a failure.

Master Qi obviously doesn't know how dangerous the world is. He said, "How can I let you suffer any injustice when you are out? Mingmei, your safety is the most important thing. How much do you think you need?"

This is to understand Ning Mingmei as a compromising little white flower.

Fang Wuyu interrupted and sneered: "We are in the territory of Qingji Sect. Piaomiao Peak is poor, but Baiyun Peak is not. All the money for this trip will be reimbursed by me."

What weird words does Ning Mingmei use? Fortunately, he is smart and can understand.

Things that are not budgeted for are the most expensive. Fang Wuyu, a celestial dragon, still doesn't understand this truth of life.

Ning Mingmei said to the system: "How can someone, just to have a quick conversation, take the initiative to stick his neck out for me to kill? Everyone remember, don't be like him."

system:……

I really want to electrocute him, who knows.

Ning Mingmei said: "Yes, it was originally Baiyun Peak who should have received him."

Fang Wuyu raised his chin with a look of disdain and arrogance.

Ning Mingmei sighed to the system again: "How can someone spend a large sum of money and still look victorious? I have a feeling that Fang Wuyu and I can become a pair of good brothers."

You just want to continue to trick him, right?

Ning Mingmei: "Brother, reimbursement is one thing. You know, I'm not good at ordinary things, and I don't have any cash on hand."

As long as you give me money, you can call me senior brother. Ning Mingmei immediately noticed Fang Wuyu's uncomfortable expression. The smiles on the faces of the celestial dragons disappeared a lot.

…Although I don’t know why I can hear a hint of sarcasm in it.

Fang Wu Yu suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.

Fang Wu Yu asked his disciple to bring a booklet over. He said arrogantly, "This is a ticket book issued by the Royal Silver House in the Human Realm. It is used all over the world. You can use it to keep accounts everywhere and ask the store owners to exchange them for money at the silver house."

There's also a checkbook.

Fang Wu Yu originally wanted to see Ning Mingmei's uncomfortable expression. But the other party had a calm expression and said sweetly: "Brother, you are so nice. Thank you, Brother. I will definitely give them a good reception on your behalf."

Ning Chang and the other person came out from the back hall. Chang Feichang first went back with his disciple Mu Hanshan to pack up their things. Ning Mingmei met Yin Xisheng as soon as he turned the corner. Yin Xisheng was still wearing his fur-collared cloak and standing under the eaves with a pale face, waiting for him for a while.

Yin Xisheng said, "Junior brother, Fu Weidao is old-fashioned and pedantic, and he has disliked you for a long time. But you can rest assured on the road, he will not harm you. There is no reason for internal strife in the Qingji Sect."

This is to reassure him. And the Lord of Longbeard Peak is called Fu Weidao.

Ning Mingmei said: "Yeah."

Yin Xisheng's brows were calm and relaxed under the white sky. He said, "I just came out of seclusion after ten years, and I have to go out for such a trip. What do you think?"

Ning Mingmei said: "This is the beginning of becoming famous. Brother Yin, if the Dharma Sect wants to become famous, you have to work hard too."

He casually pressed Yin Xisheng's shoulder. Yin Xisheng looked a little stunned.

After Ning Mingmei left, he lowered his head and gently stroked the place where Ning Mingmei had left pressure on his shoulder.

Ning Mingmei changed direction and prepared to leave. Before leaving, someone called him back.

Master Qi.

"Mingmei." The wrinkles between his brows were still there. "Don't rush to the front if something happens. Be more careful."

Ning Mingmei said to the system: "This person probably saw me and Yin Xisheng conducting an academic connection."

System: "Such a touching farewell scene for fellow disciples, but you are using such dirty thoughts to taint the world of cultivation."

Master Qi means well. Ning Mingmei must understand it in his heart. He said: "Brother..."

"Yes." said Master Qi.

Ning Mingmei: "Brother, you can still give me that sword."

If it's expensive.

…Master Qi ordered his disciple to fetch a sword. As soon as Ning Mingmei saw the scabbard and the hilt, he said, "This is a really good sword. Thank you, Senior Brother."

Such expensive gemstones.

"You're saying that before you've even seen the sword." Qi Miancheng shook his head and smiled, "Do you want to try the sword?"

He looked at a plum tree in the courtyard and said, "In the past, when the plum blossoms were in bloom on Tiantai Peak, Master often took us to practice swordsmanship in the plum forest. Master said that the ultimate in sword control is to be able to split the smallest snowflakes with one sword strike, and also to leave the most fragile petals on the sword's edge. As it happens, the plum blossoms are in bloom today, would you like to try it?"

It's all over now. Ning Mingmei is just a Westerner with a combat power of only five.

The system said: "If necessary, I can shock you until you faint. This way you don't have to dance with the sword, nor do you have to go to Yaochuan, and you can also become the hero's sick beauty master."

Ning Mingmei: "What are you thinking about? We can't lose the business trip budget we got with great difficulty."

He grabbed Master Qi's wrist and put the sword he handed to him back into Master Qi's palm.

"Brother, please dance for me. I want to see you practice swordplay." He said, "I haven't seen it for a long time."

As he said this, he pulled Sect Leader Qi's sleeve.

System: ...this person, this person, who is this person?

Sect Leader Qi paused. He glanced at Ning Mingmei and then smiled - so fast that it was almost impossible to catch the deep look he gave Ning Mingmei at the beginning.

"Okay," he said.

When Master Qi drew his sword, he made a sword flower. The sword shines brightly, illuminating the sky with falling snow. Ning Mingmei found a place under the eaves and watched the master's sword dance at ease.

Ning Mingmei said to the system: "Master Qi is giving me an academic report. I am honored that you, as the principal, have condescended to meet me."

Sometimes I really want to sew Ning Mingmei’s mouth shut.

really. As the sword wind blew, white plum blossoms fell with the snow, and each of Qi Miancheng's swords caught a falling plum petal. As Ning Mingmei was watching, he saw Fang Wuyu coming out of the study.

He stood under the eaves, looking at the two of them, his brows furrowed into an unsolvable lock.

There was a flash of frost, and the sword returned to its sheath. Sect Leader Qi closed his eyes and breathed for a while in the snow, then turned around and looked at Ning Mingmei with a smile.

Ning Mingmei: "Brother, you dance really well. I suddenly realized something during my retreat: every day that I don't dance is a waste of life. Brother, you really deserve life. In the future, I will teach this sword dance to my disciples as a legacy for our sect to never forget our original aspirations."

Sect Leader Qi pondered: "This is quite philosophical."

He walked under the eaves, and when he stretched out his hand, Ning Mingmei thought he was going to hand the sword to him. But who would have thought that Sect Leader Qi would put his arm around Ning Mingmei's slender waist and put the sword on his waist.

Master Qi has long slender fingers and the knot is tied right away. He accidentally flicked the hilt of the sword, and the sword tapped Ning Mingmei's waist.

"Mingmei, I haven't seen you for ten years. You have grown a lot." He said with a sigh, "That's great. As your senior brother, I am very happy."

Ning Mingmei said: "I have to thank my senior brother for his leadership, the environment of Qingji Sect, and the cultivation of all the teachers. I have only made a small contribution in my personal growth process. From now on, I will never forget my original intention, forge ahead, take my dream as my horse, and live up to my youth."

How come you say this so skillfully?

Ning Mingmei turned his head and saw Fang Wuyu disappear. But it has nothing to do with him. He got the new sword, and his immovable assets increased by more than one million. He decided to return to Piaomiao Peak with his old sword.

With the travel funds in hand, Ning Mingmei sped up to his highest speed ever. After just two steps, he was already on par with Fang Wuyu.

People with cars can run faster than their legs.

Fang Wuyu is inside the window, Ning Mingmei is outside the window. The two looked at each other unexpectedly.

Fang Wu Yu's face looked as bad as if Ning Ming Mei had killed his father.

Ning Mingmei's glasses flashed coldly, and he took the initiative to say, "Brother, I have your checkbook. Do you want me to send you a message every day to report the bill?"

"unnecessary."

"Brother, your car runs really fast. How many fairy cars do you have?"

Fang Wuyu's scalp tingled: "Don't call me Senior Brother."

The more polite Ning Mingmei is, the more people think there is something wrong with him.

Ning Mingmei said, "Okay. You said, there are ten of us going to Yaochuan, and there are quite a few people from Yanyun Tower. Can Yanyun Tower accommodate us well just by walking? I don't go out often, do you think there is a fairy car in Yanyun Tower?"

Fang Wuyu: ...

Competition makes people progress.

"Come with me," he said.

Fang Wu Yu had a sour face and took Ning Ming Mei to the back mountain of Baiyun Peak.

Ning Mingmei successfully entered Baiyun Peak for the first time. Baiyun Peak is worthy of being the peak of the Tianlong people. It is very luxurious, with gold carvings and jade carvings everywhere. There are also dozens of immortal cars and boats in the back mountain, which would be like supercars and helicopters everywhere today.

Fang Wuyu raised his chin: "You have never seen so many fairy cars, right? Pick one at random."

He glanced at Ning Mingmei. He was a little surprised that the other party remained calm from beginning to end.

Ning Mingmei said, "Let's choose the most expensive one. We need to let the disciples of Yanyun Tower see the strength of our Qingji Sect. Senior Brother Fang, you don't want Yanyun Tower to think we are poor, right? These cars don't look that great."

...In the end, Fang Wu Yu gave Ning Ming Mei a fairy boat with a sour face. The fairy boat was a new model released this year. When not in use, it could be folded into a piece of paper and put into a Qiankun bag. When in use, it was light, beautiful, and wind-resistant.

Get the curvature spacecraft.

Ning Mingmei said: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will report to you every day."

Fang Wu Yu didn't even want to give him a glance. He had booked this immortal boat but had never ridden on it. He felt so bad for the sake of his face that his heart was bleeding.

Got everything. Ning Mingmei turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Wuyu called him from behind.

Fang Wu Yu said: "The Sword-wielding Elder has been in seclusion for ten years, and his temperament has changed a lot. But sometimes, it is better for people to recognize their own position. It will be better for both yourself and the sect."

Ning Mingmei said to the system: "I was working with my master, and he made it seem like he was against this marriage."

Fang Wuyu’s “bottom line” is very clear. He looked down on Ning Mingmei and was prejudiced against Lu Ding. He would never allow Ning Mingmei to have a negative impact on the sect's reputation. Or in his opinion, Ning Mingmei's identity would bring a dark history to the identity of "the leader of the Qingji Sect".

Maybe Fang Wu Yu didn't care that much about Qi Miancheng. What he cared about was that Qi Miancheng had the identity of "the leader of the Qingji Sect" and was indeed a good person. In this case, we must never let Ning Mingmei tarnish the reputation of Qingji Sect.

Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses and said, "It feels like a long time since we last met. I have been in seclusion for ten years, which is the autumn of 10956. It is normal for my personality to change drastically. Moreover, after hearing about such a thing before the seclusion, it would be abnormal if my personality did not change. Isn't that right, Senior Brother?"

Fang Wuyu said, "Really? Then I hope Elder Zhijian can figure it out sooner rather than later."

Ning Mingmei said: "Indeed, I have thought it through clearly. Senior Brother Fang..."

He suddenly drew out his voice, and for some reason, this sound made Fang Wuyu's back tighten.

It was rare that he actually felt an unignorable danger from Ning Mingmei!

Ning Mingmei smiled. He raised the corners of his lips. This was a smile Fang Wuyu had never seen on Ning Mingmei's face. Although his lips were smiling, his eyes were cold. At the same time, they were cold and full of interest: "And Brother Fang, you don't want Brother Qi to know that I am Brother Qi's furnace cauldron, right?"

?

Do you think Senior Brother Qi knows that I am his cauldron? What would a good and upright man like him think if he knew that he was the executioner of my fate? How will it affect the Qingji Sect?

Or do you want me to remind him that I was brought back by his most revered master, Master Wuwei [for him]?

? ! !

What's wrong with this person? ?

Fang Wu Yu was stunned and didn't react for a long time. He said, “Are you threatening me?”

you? Are you using your own leverage to threaten me? Have you figured out who this is?

But what made Fang Wuyu feel even more terrified was that... he was actually threatened by these words.

If Ning Mingmei really told Qi Miancheng about this...

This is really outrageous!

"Brother Fang, we have to get along well for hundreds of years from now on. There is a long way to go." Ning Ming took the flying boat into his arms with a clear conscience, "Thank you, Brother, for buying me the flying boat. I will go to work for Qingji Sect now. And I will remember to keep accounts every day."

He didn't even say hello to Fang Wu Yu, took the money and the flying boat, continued to load the sword, and left. After getting on the sword, he said to the system: "I was very cold just now."

System: ...I don’t even want to complain about you.

The fairy car and the unlimited business trip budget made Ning Mingmei speed up his pace. But before returning to the main hall, he first went to the small pine forest and passed his message over the heads of his disciples:

"The next group meeting will be seven days from now."

Then he was very satisfied to see everyone fall.

"Master, didn't you say that you would take the disciples of Yanyun Tower to Yaochuan?" A disciple screamed in the pine forest, "Why do we still have to have a group meeting next week?"

"I don't think there will be a group meeting. Master will definitely not be back within seven days."

Ning Mingmei commented: "Really, the loyalty of these disciples...their academic enthusiasm is not enough."

You just mentioned loyalty, right?

Practice is the only criterion for testing theory. Although the system had predicted that Ning Mingmei would make a fool of himself in the Yaochuan practice, it was not happy at all.

This trip to Yaochuan should be able to teach Ning Mingmei how to behave.

Should be...right?

But why does it still feel so uneasy?

It even made it forget to urge Ning Mingmei to find the male protagonist.

Ning Mingmei walked into the study room behind the Caixue Palace with a calm face. The system asked him, "Host, are you really ready? You haven't learned the swordsmanship, body movements and spells of the Sword Immortal yet, right?"

Ning Mingmei: “I haven’t learned it.”

This is like seeking death with one's spiritual power. The system said: "Then how do you take on this task?"

Where does this courage come from?

Ning Mingmei's response was to pull out a jade slip from the bookshelf and open it leisurely.

"I'm learning on the job. When my boss gives you a scientific research task, he doesn't care whether you can do it or not," he said.

system:……

It looked at Ning Mingmei sitting there, lips slightly pursed, confident in his decision, like a silent statue.

After a while.

Ning Mingmei's expression was distorted: "Fuck, it hurts so much."
