7. Reencountering Gong Musheng
What was the saying for “getting something for nothing”? This was a true “getting something for nothing.”
Actually, Miss Gong had wanted to complain about one thing from the beginning. That was, although that Nine-Colored Deer had given her a set of cultivation techniques and the title of the Old Sect’s Sect Master, it hadn’t given her anything else substantial.
If it had at least given her a token, she could have used the Nine-Colored Deer’s name to do things. These old demons would have given her some face.
Why did she have to rely on her own bluffing skills to do this? Was this the Nine-Colored Deer’s trial for her?
However, fortunately, these demonic beasts’ intelligence was not on the same level as an old scammer, so Miss Gong was able to succeed.
“I feel like before you came here, you must have been a scammer in Cambodia.”
Looking at the big bald head’s smug expression, Yan Chuyue couldn’t help but lean closer to Gong Yiling and complain, “And you’ve succeeded in scamming more than one honest person.”
“Now, universities have anti-fraud education. Just by looking at the cases inside, you’ll know how scammers work, right?” Gong Yiling also whispered in her ear, “This is what I call ‘applying what I’ve learned’.”
“If you learn any more, you’ll become a lawless madman.”
“To deal with these guys, don’t you have to use some special methods?” Gong Yiling blinked. “And I’m not exactly making empty promises. As long as the old sect is established, and Brother Deer comes over to take a look, won’t that also fulfill its wish?”
Compared to those unlucky villains who were really scammed by her into a pig’s head, this big bald man’s treatment was more than a little better.
“What are you two talking about? Are you saying I’m handsome?” The big snake head, ah, no, this big bald head, after hearing their words, immediately patted his chest and said, “Actually, I think I have a bit of a dragon’s style, so I named myself Long Yingchi. It doesn’t disgrace the name of the old sect, right?”
What was his name? Long Yingchi?
You’re really not an outsider to yourself, huh? You dare to take any name.
Gong Yiling couldn’t help but twitch her lips and silently nodded. “Mmm, you’re not wrong. You’re just a little bit less than a dragon, just that little bit.”
“Right?” Long Yingchi scratched the back of his head. “So what does a guardian beast need to do? Protect the sect’s disciples? Where are the people?”
Miss Gong immediately raised an eyebrow and said, “Chuyue and I are standing right in front of you. You don’t see us as people?”
“Eh, that’s not what I mean.” Long Yingchi quickly denied. “I’m talking about other people. It’s not like this sect only has you two, right?”
“…For now.” Gong Yiling nodded calmly. “It’s indeed just the two of us, but we can actually add a lot more people.”
Like Lu Xinyao, Qiu Shui, Chun Lian, and Baiyao Qin, they should all be willing to join her new old sect. At that time, she could also pull her father over to work. She just didn’t know if she had a chance to pull the Ghost Physician and Little Auntie over to stand there.
As for her former subordinates from the Hehuan Sect, although they were already her subordinates, they had once been stained with the blood of some innocent people, so they wouldn’t be allowed to enter the old sect.
By this calculation, the number of people, it seemed, was probably not enough to form a complete soccer team.
“But don’t worry.” Gong Yiling immediately sent some words to the stunned Long Yingchi that could more or less salvage his first impression.
“The old sect is so important, and its glory is so great. If I don’t even have a place to re-establish it and I’m already recruiting cultivators from all over the world, wouldn’t that be a huge joke?”
This sentence, simply put, was, no money, no house, how can you marry a wife?
For this explanation, Long Yingchi was quite receptive.
“Indeed.” He couldn’t help but nod and say, “The matter of the old sect cannot be taken lightly. Then why don’t we drive away the people nearby?”
“There’s no need to drive them away. The old sect is not so unreasonable. Besides, those places are full of talented people. The first batch of disciples of the old sect may not be chosen from among them.”
Those little brats who were at the Soul Origin and Earthly Nether realms were really enviable.
“That’s true. Then leave this matter to me.” Long Yingchi immediately slapped his chest, which made a loud thud. “My relationship with those people is quite good. They should listen to me.”
For some reason, when she heard this, Gong Yiling’s mind was filled with the image of a very terrifying black snake head staring fiercely at some little white sheep, like a scene of forcing a good woman into prostitution.
However, the number of tribes living in seclusion here was indeed too many. If they were to go and discuss it one by one, not to mention whether they would be happy to have such a sect next to them, just finding people would take a lot of time.
Therefore, this errand, it was actually a good choice to leave it to it.
“Since you’ve asked so sincerely,” Gong Yiling nodded. “Then I’ll leave this matter to you. I have no other requests. You just need to recruit about twenty people. Their strength should be at the Return to Origin realm and above. It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
“Hey, it’s just this little thing.” Long Yingchi waved his hand casually. “If I can’t even handle this little thing, then I, this mountain king… no, this former mountain king would be too low-class.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
Gong Yiling shrugged. “The completion of this great formation will take at least 28 days. I’ll come back in 28 days. During this time, please also watch over it in your spare time.”
“You go about your business. You go about your business.” Long Yingchi said, “Just wait and see.”
After settling these matters, Gong Yiling actually had no need to stay here any longer.
But after leaving this place, she and Yan Chuyue did not go directly back to the capital, but went to the residence of the Ghost Physician Feng Lili in the border town.
Since their last parting, Feng Lili had been staying here. It wasn’t for any other reason, but because Little Auntie Gong Musheng also had some things to deal with here.
This sudden visit surprised the two of them, especially Gong Musheng.
“Weren’t you fighting with those pharmaceutical company people a few days ago? Why did you suddenly go on a trip?”
“This is not a trip—” Gong Yiling looked at Gong Musheng, who was beaming with joy. She always felt that during this period of time, this Little Auntie seemed to have done something extraordinary.
Before she revealed the big matter of her wanting to build a sect, Gong Yiling first brought up another matter.
And it was the day before she left the capital, the news brought to her by Yuan Qin.
“Little Auntie, did anyone from the Youcang Court ask you to contact my mother?”
“There is indeed this matter.” Gong Musheng said, “It seems that they want to entrust some things to the demonic sects, so they used this connection.”
