Chapter 617: Hong Xi Returns to Cong Yun
"Are you finally back?" Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is he the only one? Where is Immortal Ziyun?"
In an instant, Li Fan had rehearsed the game between the two in his mind.
Including but not limited to: Immortal Lord Hongxi faced the situation of being ignored and seized power, and fought back. Relying on the appeal of his spiritual cultivation, he regained the support of the vast majority of monks in an instant.
Or, Immortal Lord Hongxi may appear calm and conciliatory, temporarily appeasing him. When Li Fan relaxed, he moved like thunder, launched his fortune, and instantly reversed the situation. In the end, Li Fan was dismissed from his post on unfounded charges.
wait wait wait.
But Li Fan never expected that when Immortal Hongxi really saw him, not only was he not tense, but he laughed and gave Li Fan a big hug.
Li Fan froze slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Am I familiar with you?" he thought in his mind.
Immortal Lord Hongxi didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Li Fan's eyes at all, and patted him on the shoulder, feeling very pleased.
"Okay! You did a good job! After hearing that Wanxian Island was almost uprooted by the Wu Laohui, Ziyun and I were worried that Cong Yunhai would be turned into a mess from now on. Unexpectedly, you would appear out of nowhere . In the past few years, the rankings of various assessment indicators have not only not declined, but have risen by several places!”
"Why didn't you wake up earlier? Otherwise, how could I have been so troubled by all kinds of things over the years?"
"Keep going! Next, Cong Yunhai's government affairs will be left to you!"
Immortal Lord Hong Xi looked very happy.
Li Fan couldn't help but fell silent.
Hong Xi, who was wearing white clothes, seemed to be relaxed, humming an unknown ditty and returned to the long table in the room.
He poured himself a cup of tea gracefully and drank it happily.
"You can see your achievements soaring every day while lying still. This is life." He said lazily.
Looking back, he saw Li Fan standing still, and immediately greeted him: "Hey, don't be so formal. Come and have a cup of tea too!"
"Thank you very much, Lord City Lord!" Li Fan did not refuse, he stepped forward and sat down.
After Hongxi drank another cup of tea, he said again: "Ziyun and I have heard about your deeds at the Immortal Alliance headquarters. Tsk tsk, you are indeed a disciple of the ancient sect, but you are more capable than the monks like us now. "
"By the way, what level of cultivation have you returned to now? Nascent Soul, Transformation God?" Immortal Lord Hongxi glanced at Li Fan, and then shook his head.
"I can't see through it, I can't see through it!"
Li Fan said calmly: "No matter what your cultivation level, you are just a subordinate of the city lord now."
Immortal Lord Hongxi smiled: "Then I am just a subordinate of the First Economic Lun, and his First Economic Lun is just a subordinate of the adults who transmit the Dharma."
"They are all working for the Immortal Alliance, so what's the difference?"
Li Fan suddenly looked solemn: "My lord's ideological realm is indeed extraordinary. I admire you!"
Seeing that Li Fan was still looking so serious, Immortal Hongxi's face suddenly fell. He shook his head and sighed: "It's really an antique! It's boring, it's really boring."
"That's fine, as long as you help me handle government affairs as usual, everything will continue as usual."
Li Fan looked at Immortal Hongxi's attitude and it didn't seem like he was acting, so he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, do you really not want to be in power again?"
Immortal Lord Hongxi laughed again: "This is because you don't understand. But it doesn't matter, you will understand later. It doesn't hurt to tell you first."
"I have been in charge of Cong Yunhai for nearly two hundred years, and I have always worked hard. I have never made any achievements, but I have not made any mistakes."
"These days are coming to an end. Want to go further?"
Immortal Lord Hongxi sighed slightly: "It's difficult!"
"There are so many cultivators in the Immortal Alliance. If you don't join the Tao, you want to compete with those people..."
"Haha, it's better to be at ease in my sea of clouds."
"You can treat these government affairs carefully in one year, two years, ten years, or thirty years."
"But what if it's one hundred or two hundred years?"
"I've been fed up for a long time. But I can't bear to resign. Leave it to my subordinates. They're just nothing but nothing. I'm not worried."
"It's been so many years, but finally a character like you appears!"
"No, Ziyun is staying inland to go to a [Friendly Exchange Meeting] to gain experience. I didn't even bother to attend that grand event, which is rare in hundreds of years, so I couldn't wait to come back to see you."
"Sure enough, I was not disappointed!"
Immortal Lord Hongxi sighed.
"I heard that you might have been a little worried before. When I come back, I will seize your power? No need! I wish I could leave all this mess to you!"
"Don't worry, I will gather everyone tomorrow and explain this matter clearly. You will still be in charge from now on!"
Li Fan couldn't help but twitching his face.
But he still raised his hand and said, "Well, thank you City Lord for your kindness."
Immortal Lord Hongxi patted Li Fan on the shoulder again: "Do a good job! Although your secret word makes you get less merit every year than me, but compared with those monks who work hard to do meritorious tasks every year, it is already It’s not on the same level anymore.”
"Furthermore, I heard that when you were acting as the island lord and supervising the construction of Congyun City, your duties were in the same league as the city lord."
"Calculating it this way, your merit level should have risen very quickly over the years."
This time it was Li Fan's turn to be stunned.
"Are merit awards distributed every year? Why haven't I received them?"
Immortal Hongxi who was drinking tea spurted out the tea in his mouth and looked at Li Fan in shock.
"Isn't it possible? You haven't received any merit? Then why have you worked so hard for so many years?"
"I..." Li Fan hesitated.
Suddenly, I discovered that there was a deep generation gap between the two, so I could only remain silent.
"It's not like you haven't gone to Tianxuan Mirror to participate in the annual settlement." After a while, Immortal Hongxi looked at Li Fan with a very strange look.
Li Fan shrugged: "No one has ever mentioned this to me."
Immortal Lord Hongxi patted his head.
"Forehead……"
He said weakly: "Then go and take a look. Maybe you will be surprised."
Li Fan nodded, bowed, and left in a hurry.
Looking at Li Fan's disappearing back, Immortal Lord Hongxi shook his head: "Hey, you are worthy of being a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. It doesn't matter to you, just hang up..."
When Li Fan returned to Tianxuan Mirror, after some questioning, he found out what the so-called annual settlement was about.
It turns out that in addition to the annual contribution "salary", the main governing personnel of each state and territory receive "salary".
There are also "performance" rewards based on each state's overall ranking in the All-Immortal League.
It is settled once a year. In addition to the contribution, there are also a lot of merits.
