Chapter 95: Undercurrent
Wang Lu's injuries recovered decisively after three days.
But when he got off the hospital bed, he felt that the whole world was turned upside down.
The first is work.
During the three days of recuperation, Wang Lu boldly asked Hai Yunfan to temporarily take over his job, pushing this disciple of the Wanfa Immortal Sect who had always been relatively low-key to the forefront, causing him to be in a hurry for a while.
Because of Wang Lu's outstanding performance as the chief planner, more and more work has been handed over to Wang Lu with confidence and boldness by Zhenjun Hetu. That kind of workload would have been long ago accomplished by other standing elders of the Tongtian Temple.
He complained, but Wang Lu handled it easily - mainly because he was too courageous and bold, and could frequently use quick-knife tactics to cut through the mess. Unfortunately, there was only one Wang Lu in the Nine Provinces continent, and now that he was injured, the staff gap was immediately exposed
.
Hai Yunfan is undoubtedly a qualified bureaucrat, but unfortunately compared with Wang Lu, the gap is still a bit big.
This gap is not necessarily a gap in intelligence - dealing with daily affairs does not require genius and original thinking, but more of the accumulation of experience. Hai Yunfan has been Wang Lu's secretary for so long, his intelligence and experience are enough to cope with it. It is difficult to cope with it.
It's his courage.
Wang Lu's courage is so strong that even the senior elders of Tongtian Holy Church often dare to directly refute each other's face - anyway, the biggest Taoist Hetu in Tongtian Holy Church sells his face, so he doesn't have to sell his face anymore.
Anyone's face.
But if it were Hai Yunfan, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to do what Wang Lu did. Hetu favored Wang Lu, but he had never favored Hai Yunfan. Those elders may not dare to do anything to Wang Lu or express their anger.
It's easy for him as a little Hai Yunfan.
Therefore, Hai Yunfan only felt that his hands were tied when dealing with official duties. Many things could not be decided at all, so he had to push them all to Wang Lu, who would recover from illness in a few days. Even so, there were still many tasks that could not be pushed away.
Hai Yunfan only had to complain a lot, and it was inevitable that he would make mistakes again and again during this period.
With Hai Yunfan's status and Wang Lu's position, any mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences. Fortunately, he had the right time and finally got through the difficulty without any danger.
The so-called Tianshi refers to the excellent performance of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the Immortal Competition in the past three days.
After the Jindan level single challenge ended, seven more games were played in the next three days. Both civil and military, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance won six games. One of them was a Nascent Soul level individual challenge, and the Spirit Sword Sect
Zhou Ming, the fourth elder, appeared on the scene, severely injuring Flesh Tu, who appeared in the Nascent Soul realm, with a sword, splitting his incomplete human skin apron into two halves.
This battle simply set the people of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on fire. The previous victory in the Jindan level single challenge was due to Wang Lu's frequent tricks, but this Nascent Soul battle was clearly a victory that Zhou Ming relied on his strength. Those dazzling swords
The light easily tore apart the flesh-and-blood slaughter's defense. No matter how much he moved out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, he could not stop the defeat.
Although Zhou Ming showed very obvious symptoms of weakness after the war, in a battle that lasted for a whole stick of incense, Zhou Ming crushed him throughout, which made people mesmerized.
It is simply unbelievable that there are people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who can rely on their strength to defeat Earth Immortals in martial arts.
Of course, at this time, people seemed to unanimously exclude a certain Jiuzhou No. 1 golden elixir from the category of human beings.
The carnival caused by this victory was enough to cover up Hai Yunfan's slight mistakes in his work, so when Wang Lu returned from illness, Hai Yunfan was finally able to wipe away the cold sweat and hand over the seal symbolizing his full strength.
When Wang Lu took the seal, he saw a lot of official business that needed to be dealt with urgently, even expired, and a lot of trouble caused by Hai Yunfan's improper handling.
Hai Yunfan was naturally quite sorry for this - although he was a little dissatisfied with Wang Lu's forced arrangement of his work. But after all, the mistakes were accumulated under his own hands, and he did not want to shirk it.
However, Wang Lu had already expected this. He just patted Hai Yunfan on the shoulder and comforted him: "Just stay alive."
Hai Yunfan couldn't laugh or cry at that time. Did you expect me to make a huge mistake in these three days and die heroically? Pull it down. If something really happened, I would pass all the blame on you and pack up and leave.
.You are alone and have no worries. I still have a wife here.
But on the other hand, it is indeed good to be alive. Although he only held power for three days, Hai Yunfan still left a deep impression on many elders, some good and some bad, but after all, they really remembered him.
This undoubtedly opened a new door for Hai Yunfan, who was gradually feeling bored in his spiritual practice.
After taking back the authority, Wang Lu quickly began to clean up the mistakes left by Hai Yunfan, but when he actually started to take over the files of the past three days, he couldn't help but frown.
"Xiaohai, what's going on?"
Hai Yunfan, who resumed his position as secretary, looked at the file Wang Lu pointed to: "As you can see, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has achieved consecutive victories in the three days since you were absent."
Seeing Wang Lu's eyes getting sharper, Hai Yunfan knew that this question was vague, so he paused and said, "Two of them were Luo Xiao's wonderful performances."
Many people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance know that Wang Lu and Luo Xiao don't get along. Hai Yunfan, as the secretary, certainly knows it all. According to Wang Lu's opinion, it is best to ban this little bald man from the Huayan Sect from the beginning to the end.
, never give him a chance to show his face, and let all the special training he worked so hard at Junhuang Mountain go to waste.
Many people are curious as to why Wang Lu would target Luo Xiao like this. Although Wang Lu is not a magnanimous saint, with his current prestige and status, it would be unworthy of his status to target Luo Xiao, who is clearly not on the same level. Of course
, as a disciple of Wang Wu, the leader of Wuxiang Peak, such a thing as losing one's status is a bit of a cloud.
Hai Yunfan once asked seriously, and Wang Lu told him after thinking carefully: "Because he is too ugly."
This answer simply made Hai Yunfan sad, but later Wang Lu also said seriously: "There is no clear reason. He performed well in all aspects, but I just don't want to see him. To be honest, I can only say that I don't like him."
.And judging from my excellent aesthetic ability, if I don’t like it, it can only mean that he is too ugly. End of explanation
Although Wang Lu's explanation was not very convincing, his meaning was very clear, and he followed it accordingly. As long as he could prevent Luo Xiao from appearing, Wang Lu would stop him no matter what. So he
At this time, seeing Luo Xiao win two games in a row, he had to question Hai Yunfan about what he did.
When the contestants of the Immortal Competition compete, the more important ones are usually arranged by Wang Lu personally, and the rest need to be reported to Wang Lu for approval. In Wang Lu's absence, the person responsible for the approval and review is of course Hai Yunfan, and then Hai Yunfan lets Luo Xiao and Luo Xiao go.
Appeared twice, won twice.
Wang Lu didn't think this was an oversight. Hai Yunfan was very attentive and always thought things through. That's why Wang Lu chose him as his secretary. However, Hai Yunfan made an unexpected move, and Wang Lu certainly needed an explanation.
"I can't stand the pressure. His reasons for playing are too good for me to refute." Hai Yunfan said, "The person who recommended him was the elder of Tongtian Temple. I rejected him on the grounds that there were more suitable players in the competition, but in two games
The first choice players in the competition coincidentally retired due to various reasons, so Luo Xiao, who was second in the rankings, could naturally come on as a substitute."
Wang Lu immediately interrupted: "Immediately set up a special task force to investigate the reasons for the withdrawal of the two top choices. There must be a huge injustice among them. If we don't find out the truth, we will have no face to face the thousands of monks participating in the Immortal Competition.
Then the direct beneficiary Luo Xiao will be listed as the primary suspect for detention and interrogation, and this opportunity will be used to select the third person... Do you still need me to teach you this procedure? "
Hai Yunfan sighed: "Only you can use this program, so don't embarrass me. Besides, Luo Xiao has a very strong backer. Whenever I am forced to do anything, I will completely throw the burden on you, claiming that you clearly said
However, I have other uses for Luo Xiao, and I don’t want him to appear so early..."
Wang Lu interrupted again: "You should have a stronger attitude when relaying my words. Just say that I once said that Luo Xiao is a spy from the Earth Immortal side who broke into our camp and should be immediately put into a dark cell and tortured severely.
We must not let him ruin our good deeds on the field.”
Hai Yunfan was silent for a while, and decided not to argue with Wang Lu on this topic: "In short, this is the situation. After Luo Xiao won twice, his prestige gradually grew, and some people deliberately added fuel to the flames. He has been praised by many people as the Golden Elixir.
Although his glory is far less exaggerated than yours, it is about to catch up with Liuli Xian, Zhu Shiyao and the others. I suggest you not to force him to suppress him in the future."
Wang Lu also sighed: "That's why I reminded you to suppress him to death before he achieves a solid result."
In the final analysis, the Immortal Competition is not Wang Lu's word after all. Even Hetu Taoist cannot act arbitrarily. The world's affairs are no bigger than a reason. If the other party has taken advantage of the reason, even Wang Lu will inevitably be restrained in his actions.
Binding feet.
"Now, I can only ask the witch girl to secretly bewitch him... The magic of ancient times has endless variations. When the time comes, I will fake the scene and push it to the Earth Immortal camp. I will think about how to arrange the murder scene.
." As he said this, Wang Lu fell into deep thought.
Hai Yunfan was simply shocked. How much hatred does Wang Lu have against Luo Xiao? I never heard that the bald man from Huayan Sect was disrespectful to Wang Lu.
"It's not just about Luo Xiao... Although I don't like that bald head, since he can bring victory to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I certainly won't embarrass him. The problem is that the backer behind him is really an eyesore. After the incident with the owner of Tianshu,
There are still people who want to show off their presence, I will never tolerate this kind of thing."
This kind of explanation is easier for Hai Yunfan to accept. Wang Lu's point of view has always been this: In the competition between immortals, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals is the weak side. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must use your limited power to the limit, and
In this process, waste caused by inconsistent opinions and voices must not be allowed.
Therefore, even if his methods are somewhat disgraceful, Wang Lu still pursues a one-word structure.
Hai Yunfan understood Wang Lu's thoughts very well and supported his approach. The only problem was...
Can Yiyantang really do it?
