Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"Qingque, come here." Fu Xuan said to Qingque, who was not slacking off, in a calm tone.

Qingque has indeed slacked off less these days. He used to sneak out to play cards, but now at least he stays in the library honestly. Of course, he doesn't always work hard in the library, but it's much better than before.

"Master Taibu..." Qingque was a little trembling. Did she do something wrong to make Master Taibu angry again? Could it be that she was caught playing cards with herself yesterday?

"How come it's like I have PTSD..." Fu Xuan said helplessly. He heard this term from Mo Feng. It seems to be called post-traumatic stress disorder. Sure enough, he had gone too far. Fu Xuan, who had completely calmed down, faced up to his behavior from beginning to end. It seemed that he had never considered Qingque's feelings. "I won't scold you. I have something to tell you."

"What Master Taibu said..." Qingque had expected it. Overtime, overtime, and overtime...

"An apology, a thank you, I owe you that." Fu Xuan sighed, "Just find a place to sit down. This Taibusi is deserted here. Make yourself a cup of tea. You don't need me to make it for you, right?"

Hey? Master Taibu is possessed by evil spirits?

He had scolded me a few days ago? As for the Grand Master serving me tea, I absolutely couldn't do that.

Qingque sat down obediently, his expression even more frightened than at the beginning. If Master Taibu scolded him, he would be immune to it. But when he suddenly spoke so earnestly, he felt uncomfortable...

"Tell me honestly why you wanted to join the Taibusi in the first place. Then I'll tell you." Fu Xuan said.

"Well... Actually, I heard that the salary and benefits at Taibu Si are good, and Xiao Qingque happens to have some skills in divination..." Qingque scratched his head and smiled.

"It seems like you have told me. I'm sorry, I didn't take it seriously before. The year I got into trouble, I owed you a thank you. After all, without you, the Taibu Division would have no one to run it, and we don't know what it would be like. You have done the best you can, but I still complain about you so much." Fu Xuan said, his tone flat.

"Hey, it's all for Luofu. Master Taibu didn't have to do this to accept the order in a time of crisis."

Of course, these words were half true and half false. Qingque had thought about how much he had done, and of course he hoped that Master Taibu would praise him a little, but what he got was Fu Xuan's dissatisfaction with various measures. Qingque got used to it, this was Fu Xuan, a Fu Xuan who was very strict with all standards. But Qingque really didn't expect that Fu Xuan would slowly make up for this thanks a year later.

"Of course I see your efforts. But I'm really afraid that you will become proud, so I dare not thank you, but... I still forgot that you are such an optimistic person. So, this sorry is an apology for my careless words a few days ago." Fu Xuan said.

"Obviously, I don't want others to force me. I was inconsiderate. I ignored your feelings for so many years and forgot that you are actually a hundred years younger than me. Yet you are forced to complete so many tasks that you don't want to do. People always end up living the way they hate the most."

"Master Taibu... after saying so much, are you planning to fire me?" Qingque was very terrified. If it were before, she would definitely be very happy, because Taibu employees would receive a considerable amount of compensation when they were fired, which was equivalent to several decades of paid leave.

But now... Qingque was reluctant to let go, but she didn't know what she was reluctant to let go of. Maybe it was because of Fu Xuan's appreciation for her. She really didn't deserve her appreciation.

"Fire? Why do you think so?" Fu Xuan smiled bitterly, holding his forehead. Does this kid have severe PTSD? What does this have to do with firing? Why fire your own subordinates for no reason? If you want to fire someone, you should fire some incompetent people who just eat for free.

"Then..." Qingque looked at Fu Xuan.

"Who am I to you in your heart? Why are you so afraid of me now?" Fu Xuan asked.

"Master Taibu, please stop scolding me. Qingque is so scared..." Qingque said in a crying voice.

Fu Xuan was also stunned for a long time. Do people nowadays like to be scolded? Am I really too old to keep up with the times? Is there a generation gap after only a hundred years? I am only two hundred years old?

"If it's not a very serious matter, I won't criticize you. After all, you have done better than most people. I'm afraid I haven't done as well as you when I was your age." Fu Xuan said.

"Master Taibu, you are too self-deprecating. How can Qingque compare with you? Even if Qingque studies for another hundred years, her divination level will not be half of yours." Qingque was very clear about her learning of divination, but she was still modest. If she could really calm down and do divination, she would definitely be at the level of Fu Xuan in a hundred years. But unfortunately, she knew too well that she could not calm down.

"Forget it... You can go now. Anyway, the meaning I conveyed should be clear." Fu Xuan didn't want to say anything more. She had heard too many such words and was tired.

Anyway, for the time being, I am still in charge of Taibusi, and the sky of Luofu will not fall. If it doesn't work, other immortal boats can send people. I can't care so much.

"Master Taibu...then Qingque left."

……

"Wanshou Wuqing Pill, what is that?" Mo Feng and Jing Yuan were playing chess in the Shen Ce Mansion. After all, Mo Feng was already the chief lieutenant, so it was normal for him to go in and out of the Shen Ce Mansion. His vacation was over, and he came to the Shen Ce Mansion to report to Jing Yuan on the recent training of the Cloud Cavalry.

As a result, Jingyuan pulled him to play chess.

Mo Feng knew Jing Yuan was playing chess very well. Fu Xuan said that if he couldn't beat him, he would just start. What kind of God Lord can sweep the world in one move? It's too outrageous. We know that you are a powerful hunting envoy, but you can't rely on God Lord to play chess.

"You are a short-lived person so you don't know. It is a special elixir made by the Immortal Boat. As the chief captain, you should be clear about the demonic body, right?" Jing Yuan said.

"Naturally, he should have fallen into the state of the Five Yin Delusion Clouds. The older he is, the more likely he is to be swayed by his emotions and fall into the evil Yin." Mo Feng said.

"And the Wanshou Wuqing Pill is used to suppress human emotions and reduce the possibility of the outbreak of the Demonic Yin Body. Theoretically speaking, if the emotions of the people of the Immortal Race were not so volatile, there would indeed be fewer Demonic Yin Bodies, unless stimulated by special drugs." Jing Yuan said.

"So... that's why Fu Xuan refused to take the Wanshou Wuqing Pill?" Mo Feng suddenly felt very warm-hearted, but also a little reluctant. Fu Xuan was trading her lifespan for love.

"She specifically told me not to tell you, but I think you deserve to know. Anyway, the Wanshou Wuqing Pill is not a necessity for the immortals. Falling into the devil's shadow is also a curse that every immortal must go through, just like the birth, aging, sickness and death of the short-lived, isn't it? The ending is not important, the process is important." Jing Yuan smiled, "However, it really surprised me that Fu Qing could make such a determination."

"Thank you for letting me know, General." Mo Feng nodded.

"There's no need to thank each other. You've done so much for Luofu, but I haven't thanked you properly. You didn't want any reward at all, and my subordinates thought I was shortchanging you."

“I explained it to them…”

"Anyway, you can take the house that Chang Letian seized from the Wen family. You and Fu Qing will have to have a place to live in the future. Otherwise, let her live with you in the Yunqi Camp? Or you and her sleep in the Taibu Si. She has a simple room, which is not right for a Taibu."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

"That's more like it. Clear distinction between rewards and punishments is the foundation for Luofu's progress. Just like your alliance, politics and economics are sometimes just that."

"I have nothing to do with the Luofu Economic Alliance. I am just a guide at most, and I don't even have a share in it. If I control both military and financial power, wouldn't I become a new giant? Marshal Luofu will not allow such a thing to happen."

"Hey, you are so honest. If the people in Xianzhou were like you and Fu Qing, they would have hunted down all the rich evil creatures in the world long ago, instead of letting people die in civil war... You and Fu Qing are really rare, and it is also my luck."

"It's lucky, but General, do you think I'm blind? Did the gods get involved again? Did the hunting bless it to become an elephant?"

"You still understand me... Fu Qing doesn't understand the elegance of it..."

You actually think cheating is elegant... You're really worthy of me.
