Chapter 171 Wrong time
When Yu Xian left the Lin Mansion, he looked very surprised.
He originally thought that his visit would be a welcome relief to the Lin family and solve their urgent needs.
As a result, Lin You, the head of the Lin family, faced him with an attitude of lying flat and having no desires or desires.
The Lin family was inspected for taxes?
As it should be, the peace of Shangyang City cannot be separated from the blessing of the real person. It is the Lin family's honor to pay taxes for the real person.
Being targeted?
If there is nothing wrong, it is because the Lin family is not doing well enough, not right enough, and they still take chances with the review.
From now on, the Lin family will strictly abide by the rules and never miss the payment of taxes for a piece of spiritual stone.
The whole process highlighted a person who was emotionally stable and extremely cooperative, without the arrogance of a three-hundred-year-old family at all.
Yu Xian didn't know why, and he didn't know how serious it was.
But he didn't care.
Now that the Lin family has admitted defeat, let’s grind it out again.
After all, as a competent department, it is not easy to get some tricks.
No matter how much Lin You emphasizes the rules to his subordinates, everything has to be done by his subordinates. Is it possible that all of them are die-hard loyalists who regard spiritual stones as dirt.
At that time, as long as the people below make mistakes, they can hold the Lin family accountable without limit.
The most important thing is that Zhao Shiwen is doing all these things. Even if the trouble gets serious, he can dump the whole blame without knowing it.
In addition, Yu Xian also obtained the information about the millennium elixir that Yu Xian wanted.
The thousand-year-old purple-gold Cistanche deserticola was obtained by chance when the ancestors of the Lin family went deep into the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains, and died shortly after returning to the family.
If you want the second thousand-year elixir, you can only go deep into the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains.
This is expected news.
The high-level resources in the immortal cultivation world in Shangyang City are scarce. The foundation-building monks were successful in their cultivation in the early stages. However, in the middle and late stages of foundation-building, the entire area has no resources that can be sustainably produced.
Most monks can only find their own way forward.
The Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range located nearby is the best treasure house.
Although the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range next to Shangyang City is only a small branch, it is still a place where third-level demon kings can survive.
Even with some scraps, it is not difficult to satisfy the cultivation of a few foundation-building monks, let alone a bunch of second-level monsters.
Those are exciting cultivation resources.
It’s just that...the death rate is a bit higher.
For example, the first great master Yu Xian met, Patriarch Jiang, had a treasure map suspected of being in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains among his relics.
Yu Xian suspected that his injuries were caused in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, so he took advantage.
Having learned from the past, Yu Xian would naturally not take risks himself.
So he prepared to offer a reward to find the medicine.
There is always a monk who is not afraid of death. If he offers a higher price, there will always be a lucky person who will be tempted.
…
The next day, Yu Xian offered a small reward within the Taxation Department, exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills for several designated thousand-year-old elixirs, which immediately caused an uproar.
Ever since the Wu family reached an in-depth cooperative relationship with Manager Yu, they have begun to deeply control the outflow of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Even though there are still some alchemists on the market who can refine foundation-building pills, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
After Master Danyang left, several types of special materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill began to be in short supply.
These materials used to be scythes used by the Xuanyang Chamber of Commerce to harvest monks from Shangyang City, but now there is no chance for them to be harvested.
The reason why Foundation Establishment Pills can still be produced today is because major aristocratic families and there are some stocks on the market.
Seeing the difficulty of replenishing, everyone naturally chose two alchemists, Wu Laozu and Luo Han, who could refining the foundation-building elixir stably.
The level of other alchemists is unstable. In the past, I could give them a try to make alchemy, but now a furnace explosion will make people's hearts bleed.
In this context, the value of each Foundation Establishment Pill has been greatly increased.
After the news slowly spread, even some foundation-building monks were moved, especially those family foundation-building monks who were approaching their end of life.
In this regard, Yu Xian is in charge of killing and not burying.
Anyway, if there are elixirs, there are foundation building pills.
Since there was no magic pill and I wanted a foundation-building pill, I just worked for the tax department.
After two temporary workers with outstanding performance in the Taxation Department were turned into regular employees ahead of schedule, and one of them successfully broke through the foundation building.
Today, the temporary employment positions in the Taxation Department have gained great market recognition.
Amidst the commotion in the market, I am still waiting for the flowers to bloom.
Just like that, two months passed by in a flash.
This day.
Yu Xian had just returned from an in-depth exchange with Luo Han from Cave No. 2. He felt that his alchemy level had improved, but he felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right.
Ah Meow, who used to wait at the door to greet him on time, was now missing.
The maid in the mansion was even more silent. In the past, when she met him, she wanted to get close to him. Now, when she saw him, she was like a savage beast and couldn't avoid him.
Yu Xian knew that the mistress of the house was back.
really.
When Yu Xian walked into the back house, he saw Magnolia standing at the door and smiling sweetly at him, and Chen Yi standing under the tree behind him, with her back to him.
There is also Ah Meow poking his head in the corner.
It looked at the hostess for a while, then at the male host, with a humanized and playful look in its eyes.
The only thing missing from that posture is a small bench and melon seeds.
In response, Yu Xian just smiled on his face and opened his hand towards Yu Lan.
"It's been such a long time since I last saw you, why don't you come over and give me a hug."
Yu Lan paused for a moment, turned to look at Chen Yi, then rushed over in the blink of an eye and gave Yu Xian an octopus-like hug.
"Ms. sir, I miss you so much."
Yu Lan lay in Yu Xian's arms, rubbing her little face like a cat, smelling the familiar scent, and the feeling of unfamiliarity that she hadn't seen for two years suddenly disappeared.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had been separated from Yu Xian for such a long time.
But in this reassuring embrace, she felt like nothing had changed.
Yu Xian held it and weighed it gently.
"Not bad, not thin."
"Ms. sir..."
Yulan let out a squeak, with a faint blush on her face, and reminded:
"And there's Sister Xiaoyi, she misses you too."
Yu Xian put down Yulan, walked slowly behind Chen Yi, hugged him directly, and rested his chin lightly on his shoulder.
"What's wrong? We're an old married couple, and we still can't let go."
Chen Yi fell completely into Yu Xian's arms, with his eyes closed, and murmured: "The restrictions on me cannot be removed."
Yu Xian sniffed Chen Yi's hair and said lazily:
"It doesn't matter, as long as you stay with me."
"Is it really enough?"
Chen Yi turned around and faced Yu Xian. His eyes were open and clear.
"You found another woman and let her live in your home?"
Yu Xian admitted frankly: "Not bad."
"Not for fun?"
"Her name is Luo Han, and she is already my Taoist companion, just like you."
Chen Yi's expression darkened, as if he was asking Yu Xian, or himself.
"Why are you so greedy?"
The smile on Yu Xian's face slowly faded, he gently let go of Chen Yi, and said quite seriously:
"I've always been so greedy."
Chen Yi raised his head slightly and looked directly into Yu Xian's eyes with cold eyes.
"Perhaps the joy of reuniting after a long separation has blinded me. After being separated from you for the past two years, I have thought a lot on the mountain."
"I think if I can lift the restriction and completely hand myself over to you again, then you can only be mine from now on, plus one Magnolia at most."
"But I can't do it."
"I once used this reason to convince myself to accept your absurdity and romanticism and ignore your philandering.
Even though I know I'm lying to myself. "
“But I found that when I knew that I was intimate and sweet with another woman, I would have anger, resentment, and hatred in my heart...
I cannot be as gentle and tolerant as Magnolia, and I cannot be as tolerant to you. "
"For me, love should be selfish and exclusive."
"Yuxian, tell me, what should I do?"
Yu Xian fell into silence.
He didn't expect that the conflict between the two would come so quickly. It was probably Luo Han's appearance that catalyzed the speed.
The blessings of being together are not so easy to enjoy.
As Chen Yi said just now, love is selfish and exclusive. This is the same for men and women.
Just like it is absolutely impossible for him to let his woman get along with a second man.
Yulan could tolerate different women appearing around him because she knew that she could not hold his heart.
So she was willing to become a silent harbor and just wait quietly.
But Chen Yi is different.
Chen Yi used to be weak and helpless. In the dangerous Prince Fu's Mansion, he was the only one to rely on. No matter what he did, it seemed to be justified.
But now Chen Yi is a genius that attracts everyone's attention, a Jin Dan master whose strength far exceeds his, and a figure that he could not touch in his entire life.
This is an objective fact and will not change due to personal emotions.
To use an inappropriate analogy, Chen Yixia, a powerful princess of a country, married him, a local wealthy man.
In this case, how could she willingly share a man with other women.
but……
How could he be the one who would give up the entire forest just for a tree?
"It seems you have made a decision in your mind."
Yu Xian smiled bitterly and decisively put himself in the role of the victim.
The domineering president returned to his hometown to fulfill his long-cherished wish with Bai Yueguang. He found that Bai Yueguang had turned into rice grains on his clothes, and decided to give her a sum of money to send her away.
Well, the plot develops logically.
Yu Xian expressed his appreciation.
Even if he wanted to break up with Chen Yi, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to dump her. Otherwise, even if Chen Yi didn't take action, he would be hacked to death by his uncle in minutes.
But now if Chen Yi takes the initiative.
That would be perfectly in line with the development plot that he and his uncle had imagined.
At that time, with my uncle's simple mind, he will only feel more guilty towards him.
Sure enough, Chen Yi shook his head and said:
"I don't know, but I think we should be separated for a while. There are some issues that I haven't considered clearly yet."
Yulan on the side looked horrified, biting her lip, wanting to say something, but not daring to interrupt casually.
She didn't know why things had developed to this point. It was obviously time to be happy to see each other again after a long absence.
Yu Xian's hands trembled unconsciously, and his body also trembled slightly, but it was quickly hidden.
"Okay, I respect your decision."
He actually showed a smile at this moment, but he looked extremely sad.
"I occasionally think about whether birds in the sky and fish in the water can love each other?"
"Even if they fall in love, what will happen to them?"
"Whether it's a bird entering the water or a fish landing, tragedy awaits them."
"Chen Yi, you are too perfect and too powerful. Besides, you are not an oriole showing off your singing voice, but an eagle fighting against the sky. Your eyes are in the sky, covering the whole world.
And I am just a small fish drifting with the current in the water. I am happy enough if I can eat some shrimp every day. "
"I think this is why your master is willing to let you come back. The gap between you and me will make our relationship extremely fragile."
"But I don't blame you."
"Because you are right. A small storm for you may be a huge storm that destroys the world."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. After learning your current identity, I'm not happy, but terrified. I'm afraid that one day your master will suddenly appear in front of me.
She said that I had seduced her apprentice and she wanted to slap me to death. "
"so……"
Yu Xianqiang smiled and said: "I will practice hard. If I say, I mean if one day I catch up with you, I can stand in front of you and stand side by side with you."
"I hope you can give me another chance to bring you back."
"Now, I hope we are still friends."
Chen Yi couldn't help but feel throbbing in her heart. The question that had puzzled her for a long time was finally answered at this moment.
That's right, the conflict between her and Yu Xian was never about his romantic side.
In the past, she could accept Yu Xian's romantic style, but why couldn't she accept it now.
Just because she became stronger.
She felt that she deserved an exclusive love.
So even if you are temporarily indulged in Yu Xian's sweet words, once you return to reality and see Yu Xian holding another woman in his arms, you will feel confused and confused due to the sense of separation.
Is this really the love she wants?
If Yu Xian was strong enough, she wouldn't be as unwilling and depressed as she is now.
But it's a pity.
He can never catch up with himself.
Chen Yi sighed secretly in his heart, but said:
"The gap between you and me is indeed quite big now. But I don't care about this, as long as you promise to stay with me from now on..."
As she said this, she suddenly paused and laughed.
"When did I, Chen Yi, become such a coward? I have to beg for love again and again."
"Yuxian, you are right.
Birds and fish cannot fall in love, so I will wait for you to leap over the dragon gate and transform into a real dragon. Then I will be the little bird attached to you. "
"As for now, you and I are just friends."
Chen Yi took a step forward, gently hugged Yu Xian's waist, rested his head on his chest, and shed a tear unconsciously from the corner of his eyes.
"This is a goodbye hug from a friend."
Yu Xian's body froze. When he came back to his senses, he wanted to give Chen Yi a hug, but found that the person in front of him had turned into an afterimage, leaving an amber-colored yellow-skinned wine gourd in the air.
Yu Xian grabbed the wine gourd and felt that the power contained in it was as huge as the mountains and seas, and suddenly felt a little lost.
It's obviously the plot I wanted, but why is it a bit sad.
Chen Yi is too strong and he can't control it now.
Being by her side means there will always be pressure, and there may also be backstabbing from the Xuanyin Sect...
But he couldn't go against his true intention and act as a good housekeeper to Chen Yi, so that he could make a living without any worries.
However, Chen Yi is not a lover, so she will not mindlessly obey him or accommodate him just because of love.
It can only be said that the two met at the wrong time.
If we had waited another twenty years, maybe everything would be different.
"Ms. sir, look!"
Yulan's exclamation came from beside her, and Yu Xian followed her gaze.
The leaves of the big tree behind Chen Yi just fell rustlingly.
If you look closely, you can find that every leaf has become fragmented and is just wrapped by an invisible force.
After falling to the ground, the leaves dissipated like light and shadow, completely shattered into powder.
The atmosphere suddenly became sad.
Yu Xian shook the wine gourd in his hand and found that there was the sound of surging water coming from inside.
He uncorked the bottle and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
It is soft in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness.
He seemed to see a girl secretly pouring a pot of wine into a wine gourd with a smile, keeping it with her and brewing it day and night, imagining the scene when she and her lover met, and the two drank a glass of Hexin wine together.
"There will be a chance."
Yu Xian pressed the cork of the bottle and muttered silently.
I caught a cold last night and my throat hurt all day today. In addition, this chapter is quite difficult to deal with and I have been stuck. I can only write so much.
