"You are Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng?"

Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, and looked at the two carefully.

These two people were the direct cause of Zhao Gongming's death. It can be said that they were born to restrain Zhao Gongming.

During the Conferred God period, Zhao Gongming held the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls in his hand, and he could be said to be a saint who walked sideways, beating Ran Deng so hard that he couldn't raise his head. However, on the way to chase Ran Deng, he passed by Wuyi Mountain and ran into Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng playing chess.

These two were just scattered immortals, their cultivation was not worth mentioning, but they happened to have the precious treasure of the Luobao money, and by mistake, they knocked down Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls and the Dragon Binding Rope, causing Zhao Gongming to lose the two great treasures inexplicably and instantly be at a disadvantage.

However, he did not expect that the two "little people" who played a crucial role in the myths and legends were actually in front of him.

Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng were stared at by Li Nianfan, and they felt a chill on their backs. They asked nervously, "Does the Saint Lord know us?"

"I've only heard of it. Although I'm a Saint Lord of Merit, I'm just a mortal. You don't have to be so nervous." Li Nianfan couldn't help but smile, and then said, "You seem to be Zhao Gongming's subordinates."

In the mythological story, Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng were both included in the Conferred God List. Interestingly, they became Zhao Gongming's subordinates, probably to pay off the karma during the Conferred God Calamity period.

Xiao Sheng is the Heavenly Lord of Attracting Treasures, and Cao Bao is the Heavenly Lord of Accepting Treasures. They are responsible for welcoming auspiciousness and blessings, and doing business. They mainly manage the money of mortals. They are just small officials in the Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Sheng said respectfully, "Your Excellency the Saint is right. We are the Dragon Tiger Xuantan True Lord... that is, Zhao Gongming's subordinates."

Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Where is the Xuantan True Lord?"

Cao Bao said, "The Xuantan True Lord was a disciple of the Saint, and his cultivation was much stronger than ours. He never returned in the catastrophe."

Li Nianfan nodded, and couldn't help but have some doubts about the catastrophe.

So many masters died, and even the Saint couldn't escape. The order was messed up. This was obviously much more terrifying than any previous catastrophe.

This matter is strange.

Li Nianfan withdrew his thoughts and asked, "Were you managing the wealth of the mortal world just now?"

"To reply to Your Majesty, that's right." Cao Bao said, "If you harm others for money, it will be recorded in your karma. Of course, those who give away money to atone their sins can also offset some of their karma. At the same time, we will also control our financial fortunes to keep them on the right track."

Xiao Sheng said nervously, "Actually, we were just taking a break from our busy schedule just now. Unless a person's karma is too special, we don't need to pay too much attention to it. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."

OK, so you were watching videos during working hours...?

Li Nianfan laughed, "Okay, don't be nervous, I'm not your boss, just take a look."

The main job of the God of Wealth is to prevent the world's wealth from being in chaos. Wealth is the source of chaos. Once wealth is in chaos, the world will inevitably be in chaos. But speaking of reason... the job is still very easy.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Work hard and strive to pay you by the end of the year."

When Li Nianfan left, Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and silently wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. Is this the aura of being a big boss? It's so scary that we dare not even breathe.

But then, Cao Bao was slightly stunned, and asked curiously: "Xiao Sheng, do you know what the salary that the Saint mentioned just now means?"

Xiao Sheng thought carefully, "Paying wages, why does it sound like the feeling of paying salaries in the mortal world?"

"Salary?" Cao Bao's brows slightly wrinkled, and then his eyes suddenly burst into a gleam, and he trembled with excitement: "With the status of the Saint, the salary he mentioned, no, it can't be referring to merit... merit, right?"

"Hiss - now that you put it that way, it's true."

Xiao Sheng's pupils widened, and he began to pace in the hall excitedly, "We are also stabilizing the fortune of the mortal world, so we have some merits, 80% of it! Work hard, we have to work hard, and strive to get more merits at the end of the year!"

"What merits? The Holy Lord said that it's called wages!"

"Yes, yes, for wages, work hard and fight!"

...

After walking out of the Temple of Wealth, Li Nianfan visited other immortal palaces and gradually understood the work of immortals.

The existence of the Heavenly Palace is mainly to prevent the order of the Three Realms from being disrupted. The immortals of each department are not in charge of all matters, big or small. Of course, they can manage if they want to, depending on their mood.

The main responsibility is to make timely adjustments when the wrong direction appears to prevent a disaster. Under normal circumstances, they are still very free, but once an uncontrollable situation occurs, it is time to take action and send troops. At the

same time, in Yue Lao Palace.

A girl was holding a pile of red wool in her hands, staring with wide eyes, unraveling it one by one.

There were more than a dozen threads in this pile of red yarn, which was almost twisted into a knot.

The girl's eyes were full of bloodshot, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

"Dead knot, dead knot, another dead knot! What's going on?"

She pouted, almost crying, and sighed: "What has this world experienced in all these years? Is the emotion so complicated? Please, let me seal it again." After

unpacking it for a while, not only did she fail to straighten it out, but it turned from a twist into a ball of sticky dough...

"He loves her, she loves him, he loves her and her... Ah - let me die!"

The girl threw the ball of sticky dough away and completely collapsed. She turned her head and looked at the old man sitting at the door not far away.

The old man had gray hair and very little hair, so little that he was almost bald. He was wearing a red robe, holding his head with his hands, frowning, staring at a book in his hand, looking distressed.

"Master..."

The girl looked at the old man pitifully and said sadly, "I failed..."

The old man turned his head and glanced at the shamrock in the girl's hand, his mouth twitched, and then he raised his hand and a pair of small golden scissors fell in front of the girl, "It's hopeless, cut it off."

"Okay!"

The girl excitedly picked up the scissors, and she felt relieved and the world was peaceful.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, two of the clay figures with complicated emotions quickly pulled out two red lines, and then quickly tied them together.

"After cutting off the Gordian knot, is true love confirmed so quickly?" The girl's eyes lit up slightly, but when her eyes fell on the two clay figures, her pupils suddenly shrank and she raised her hand to cover her mouth.

She calmed herself down, picked up one of the clay figures, and touched the bumps on it as if to confirm. Then, she picked up another clay figure, touched it, and there were bumps on it too...

"These two... actually have bumps!"

The girl covered her mouth tightly with a complicated look, with disbelief mixed with fear, but more of it was... hidden excitement.

"It has changed, the world has changed so much."

Her voice was trembling, as if it was caused by excitement, "Master, what should we do in this situation?"

"Is there any need to ask? Cut."

"Cut? Where to cut?"

"Cut the thread, where else do you want to cut?"

"Oh..." The girl seemed a little disappointed.

The old man touched his head and suddenly found that a few hairs had fallen out. His eyes turned red immediately and he said angrily: "Cut it quickly, and then follow me to the underworld!"

The girl was stunned, "Master, why are we going to the underworld?"

"To argue with the Ox-Head and Horse-Face! They are so bullying! They want to make me bald on purpose!"

As he spoke, he took the girl and ran towards the door, but as soon as he reached the door, his steps stumbled and he bumped into Li Nianfan.

"Saint...Saint Lord!"

The old man's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "Little God Yue Lao greets Saint Lord."

Xiao Luo also saluted, "Little Luo greets Saint Lord."

Li Nianfan returned the salute and said with a smile: "Yue Lao, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Hey, Lord Saint, you've come just in time. Please give me your opinion. Is the underworld doing something unfair?"

Yue Lao was full of resentment and distress. He handed the booklet in his hand to Li Nianfan and complained, "It's not that easy to set up a love tribulation. They just casually wrote the word love tribulation and threw the problem directly to me. What can I do?"

Li Nianfan opened the booklet and saw a passage written on it: After nine lives of love tribulation, although each time there were many tribulations, the road of love was bumpy, and the obstacles were like a cemetery, but the ending was happy.

Hmm?

Why does this sound familiar?

Is it Yun Yiyi and the monk who abstained from sex?

"Look, look." Yue Lao was heartbroken and said angrily, "It's so difficult to stop them, but the ending has to be happy. Isn't this contradictory? The key... I have to prepare for nine lifetimes for such a love disaster! I don't even have enough hair to think about it."

"Well... I'm sorry." Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and said apologetically, "If nothing unexpected happens, these two people are my friends. I asked the underworld to help take care of them."

Yue Lao suddenly turned into a statue, stupid and motionless.

His mouth was breathing cold air, his teeth hurt, his heart was cold, and his brain was about to explode.

What did I just say? What am I doing? Am I going to be cold?

"Well."

Yue Lao's voice was filled with tears, and he was almost frightened to tears. He trembled and said, "I suddenly felt that this paragraph was well written, so well written! As Yue Lao, I have been looking for this kind of challenge. It's just a love tribulation, which is my strong point. Such challenging content is interesting, so interesting. I have begun to get excited. I will think about it carefully. Lord Shengjun, rest assured, this matter is guaranteed to be fine."

Li Nianfan couldn't help laughing and said, "Yue Lao, you don't have to do this. I am not the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will."

"Forcing someone to do something against his will?" Yue Lao's lips were trembling, his heart was beating wildly, and he quickly said, "How could it be? It's not difficult at all. I'm just too happy. I'm so willing to do it from the bottom of my heart."

Li Nianfan said, "Yue Lao, I have some ideas about this love tribulation. You can refer to them."

Yue Lao said without hesitation, "Please tell me, Your Majesty. I'm all ears."

"Master, let's invite Your Majesty to come in and sit down first."

Xiao Luo reminded in a low voice at the side. She couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Nianfan and saw that he always had a friendly smile on his face. She didn't know why her master was so afraid of him. He was so handsome.

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain." Yue Lao suddenly realized and nodded hurriedly, "Sir, please, please come in."

"Sorry to bother you."

Li Nianfan stepped into Yue Lao Palace, and his eyes could not help but glance at the pile of clay figurines and red strings. He had some thoughts, but they were temporarily suppressed.

Xiao Luo was already jogging and made a cup of tea for Li Nianfan.

Li Nianfan said, "Yue Lao, the love tribulation does require technical content. I have a few short stories about the ups and downs of love here. I hope they can help you."

Yue Lao said sincerely, "Sir, please teach me."

His hair really couldn't bear it.

"The first story is "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"..."

Immediately, Li Nianfan told the famous love stories in his previous life, such as "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Xu Xian and White Snake", and "The Story of the Western Chamber". They

were basically short stories, not complicated to tell, but the love, hate, and vengeance were very well described.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Luo on the side never stopped crying and sobbed non-stop. As for Yue Lao... the smile on his face never disappeared. He

even held a brush in his hand and took notes, and said excitedly: "Okay, these stories are great! Xiao Luo, don't just cry, write them down, write them down quickly, these are all precious materials, which can be used in practice in the future to let more people pursue love."

Li Nianfan's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a little strange. In the future... these sad love stories will not be born because of me, and then be passed down?

"Shengjun is really talented. Each of these stories is touching and can be passed down as a good story. It has helped my Yuelao Palace a lot."

Yuelao's words were not flattering, but were truly admiring and grateful from the bottom of his heart. With these templates, it will be much easier in the future.

The master is too amazing. Even the love story is portrayed so deeply. It's simply amazing. Is there any problem in the world that can stump him?

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble Yue Lao to worry about my friend's affairs."

Yue Lao's face straightened, and he immediately assured, "Don't worry, Lord Saint, I'll take care of this matter. I will arrange it myself and give them an unforgettable experience."

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the expedition.

Li Nianfan was not idle, and naturally prepared to go with him to see the grand scene of the "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals" subduing the demons.

On this day, the entrance of the South Gate of Heaven was filled with Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, a total of 3,000 people.

Although in order to make up the number of people, some of the cultivators have not yet become immortals, but 3,000 people are still not enough in three days.

But... the Jade Emperor's actions once again opened Li Nianfan's eyes.

Among these 3,000 people, nearly 2,000 people were conjured by him using the method of scattering beans into soldiers.

This is very cool.

The leader of the group, Taoist Taihua, is the incarnation of the Jade Emperor, and most of the heavenly soldiers behind him are soldiers made of scattered beans from the Jade Emperor. This activity is basically equivalent to the Jade Emperor performing a one-man show.

In order to protect the face of the Heavenly Palace, he has also taken great pains.
