Chapter 173: Senior brother, eager to recruit talents
When the teacup fell back on the stone table, making a crisp sound. Ye Anping took the initiative to pick up the teapot and refill himself and Liang Zhu.
A piece of tea leaves flew from the pot’s spout along the tea water into Liang Zhu’s teacup and sank to the bottom of the cup.
Liang Zhu looked at the refill, understood, and asked, “Anything else?”
Ye Anping nodded: “Yes.”
Liang Zhu definitely could not be used in matters related to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
During these seven days, he had been thinking about the candidate, but he also reflected on his current shortcomings from this question.
The network was still a bit narrow. Books were rarely used when they were used, and so were people. Moon Shadow Sword Sect just needed to find another way but to prevent similar problems from happening in the future, he now had plans to expand his clients.
“Brother Liang, I need some people who are outstanding in various aspects.”
“For example?”
“People skilled in alchemy, formations, escape techniques… some disciples who can come in handy at critical moments.”
“Hmm…” Liang Zhu thought for a while, nodded, and asked, “Like me?”
…
When Liang Zhu heard this, his eyes narrowed into slits, and a few wrinkles appeared on his forehead,
“Have you ever heard of a poem?”
“What?”
“The worst thing that can’t be retained in the world is that Zhu Yan quits the mirror, and the flower quits the tree.” Liang Zhu sneered and said sarcastically, “You are exactly the age of Zhu Yan. Who knows how old you will be? The Jade Faced Man of Yantian in the Western Regions, when you were young, you made many women blush, but now?”
Who was that? …Ye Anping raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong with him now?”
“Bald.”
“Oh.”
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at him, stopped joking, and said,
“Let’s get down to business. I don’t have time to do this myself. You also want to settle down, so just help me look for people. After that, I will interview them one by one.”
“OK.”
“Speaking of which, don’t look for bastards, and don’t look for buckets. As long as you have a perfect skill, it will be fine. In terms of character and morality, as long as you are not the kind of person who is already on the verge of becoming a demon, you will be fine.”
Liang Zhu frowned and looked at Ye Anping’s face. How old was this kid this year?
From what he heard from the old disciples of the Hundred Sect, it seemed that they were just as young as Ahting, but…
At this age, he already knew how to recruit talents and know people well to consider his future. What about Ahting? Every day she still thought about eating candied haws and playing with paper kites and lanterns.
Should he say he was worthy of being a young master from a sect? However, a problem also arised. Judging from the Hundred Lotus Sect’s patriarch and his wife, they didn’t seem like people who could give birth to or teach such an intelligent son.
Did he make a mistake in the first place?
Of course, he would not say these words. He drank all the tea in front of him and stood up.
“I can’t guarantee whether I can find the person you requested. I can only say that I will try my best.”
“One person in a hundred generations is naturally rare.”
Ye Anping did remember some of the genius casual cultivators in the game and knew where those people lived, but he thought about it before speaking out.
There was no rush anyway. Let’s let Liang Zhu look around first. He could find better characters that didn’t appear in the game.
After all, the ghosts he knew were both ghosts and talents, and they were crazy. Ye Anping stood up and followed Liang Zhu into the martial arts field.
There was only a “click–” followed by Liang Ahting’s screams that echoed throughout the training ground. The culprit comforted him pitifully—”Ahting, be good. Once you get used to it, it won’t hurt anymore. This is beneficial…”
Liang Ahting looked at her aunt’s innocent face. Her lower lip almost covered her nose with tears, and her two poached egg-like eyes were filled with tears.
Hearing Liang Zhu’s voice, she sniffed and shouted to him quickly,
“Father!!! My aunt wants to kill me!!”
Liang Zhu had a worried look on his face and seemed to be unwilling for Ahting to suffer like this, but Ye Anping on the side persuaded him in a low voice,
“Brother Liang, you have seen more dangers on the road to immortality than I do. If you are more miserable now, you will improve in the future. This is not a painting.”
Liang Zhu was speechless but still a little shocked and said,
“Sixth, please help me and your junior sister explain this later.”
Ye Anping didn’t realize what he was going to say, but Liang Zhu rushed forward and snatched Ahting from Pei Lianxue’s hand, causing Pei Lianxue to shrink her neck. Then, he hugged Ahting and comforted her
“Your foster father is here, so don’t cry.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu” Liang Ahting glared at Pei Lianxue and then tried her best to get into Liang Zhu’s arms, “Smelly aunt!!”
Pei Lianxue put out her hand pitifully, but Liang Zhu immediately hugged Ahting and left her alone. Ye Anping looked on and saw some truth in Liang Zhu’s actions. Like before, he and his junior sister practiced hard together, sharing joys and sorrows, and the most important thing was that there were joys and sorrows. Ahting needed someone to give her happiness.
“Yeah… I learned it.”
Ye Anping nodded and took notes in his notebook. If he and his junior sister had a baby in the future, they would still have to be fierce and warm. He and his junior sister could not be fierce or warm together.
The former would raise a traitor, and the latter would raise a waste. Life was a whole of flavors, and none was complete without one.
Pei Lianxue came back pitifully and asked,
“Brother, Ahting seems to hate me.”
“You hit people every day. Why don’t they hate you?”
Pei Lianxue twisted her eyebrows and asked,
“…Senior brother, didn’t you often hit me before?”
“Then when did you start to like senior brother?”
“A few years ago?” Pei Lianxue thought for a while and shook her head, “I don’t know, unknowingly.”
“Senior brother couldn’t beat you in the past few years, so when Ahting can beat you, she will like you.”
“How long will it take?”
“The Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse…” Ye Anping said, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. Ahting might never be able to defeat his junior sister, so he quickly changed his words, “No, it should be the Year of the Cat and the Moon of the Fox.”
?
Pei Lianxue tilted her head in confusion, “Is there a year of the cat and a year of the fox?”
“Silly girl.” Ye Anping knocked her head and said, “Go back and clean up. We are leaving today.”
“Huh? Where to go?”
“Xuanxing Sect, we are still disciples of Xuanxing Sect. We must go back to the report, and Xuanxing Sect has much more spiritual energy than here. Senior Sister Bai probably thinks we are crazy. We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year.”
“Oh yes, I haven’t seen Sister Bai for a long time… I’ll return and clean up.”
…
