Longevity begins with marrying your eldest sister-in-law - Chapter 425

c424 Background is also strength!

“What are you looking at?”

“There’s no point in being envious!”

Yan Hong said in a low voice, “My martial arts talent is good, and I am highly regarded by Mr. Zhan. In just a few years, I have reached the third level of Taoism.”

Although he talked about Chen Xuan, he was filled with envy in his heart.

Not only him, there are several people in the Sanfa Division who don’t envy Zong Peng.

I never expected that such a martial arts genius could come out of such a cornered place like Molan Mansion.

“Why do you sound sour when you say this?”

Chen Xuan joked.

“Go! Go! Go!”

Yan Hong rolled his eyes and said, “Let’s go in quickly. It seems that the list of guards will be announced today.”

At this time, his expression became hopeful.

“It seems so.”

Chen Xuan also nodded slightly and searched for information about guarding the pavilion in his mind.

The Shou Ge refers to the library pavilion that guards the Three Law Divisions.

Rotate once a month, ten people at a time.

The reason why Yan Hong looked so excited was because his training speed in the Cangshuge Pavilion was at least dozens of times faster than usual.

So when it came time to discuss the change, everyone in the Sanfa Division was very excited.

Last night, Ye Jinghong also said that he paid a lot of money to compensate Murong Chuan.

It’s because Murong Chuan has a high chance of being on the list this time.

Of course Yan Hong does too.

The two quickened their pace and walked into the Sanfa Division.

The Three Law Departments in the imperial capital are very large.

Of course there are many people.

There were nearly a thousand people in white clothes alone.

And if you want to become a white-clothed person, you must be at least in the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm.

Today is the announcement of the list of guardians. It is a big day for the Three Laws Division, so it is particularly lively.

At this time, the Sanfa Division was in the martial arts arena.

When Chen Xuan and Yan Hong arrived here, there were already nearly a hundred people.

“Lao Yan is here.”

A middle-aged man in white clothes greeted Yan Hong.

“Hey, Lao Niu came so early.”

Yan Hong teased.

“There’s nothing I can do. I’ve been waiting for almost seven or eight years. Finally, there are only a hundred or so people left. My chances are better. I haven’t slept for days and nights.”

The old cow’s eyes were bloodshot.

It has been almost ten years since he entered the Third Law Division, but his talent is average and he has never made any great achievements.

So the past seven or eight years of guarding the pavilion had nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, the three-law division is fairly fair and changes every month.

And after guarding the cabinet, you must wait until all the white clothes have been rotated before they can be included in the list.

This can be regarded as giving hope to those mediocre people.

After all, although these people don’t have much merit, they have worked hard in the Sanfa Division for so many years, which can be regarded as hard work.

This rule was modified when Zhan Tian became the director of the Three Laws Department.

Otherwise, the guardian has basically nothing to do with ordinary people like them, just like an old cow.

It has been going on for seven or eight years.

This may also have something to do with Zhan Tian’s own experience.

He came out from the bottom little by little.

“Don’t worry, even if it doesn’t happen this time, you won’t have it for long.”

Yan Hong comforted him.

After all, there are only about a hundred people in white clothes left. They change once a month, ten people at a time, and the worst case scenario is less than a year.

For Lao Niu, it is finally the end of all hardships.

“Yeah. It’s finally my turn.”

Lao Niu murmured that he had been stuck in the late stage of the Xuan Realm for a long time, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of guarding the pavilion to break through to the Tao Realm.

If it can succeed, then Jin Yi is not without hope.

His salary and status will also be greatly improved.

At this time, Chen Xuan’s eyes were looking to the far left.

It was Zongzheng.

“With Zong Peng’s status, he still needs to compete with Bai Yi for this spot?”

Because Jin Yi and those above can enter the library at any time by virtue of their contributions.

Especially someone like Zong Peng, who can enter at any time without making any contribution.

It shouldn’t be a problem to bring Zongzheng in, right?

Although this is somewhat unfair, in a world where fists are the most important, there is no absolute fairness.

“Look.”

Lao Niu pursed his lips, heading towards Zongzheng.

“Why is he here?”

Yan Hong raised his eyebrows, and his expression immediately became dissatisfied.

“That’s right, Master Zongpeng still insists on competing with the rest of us for places, huh!”

Lao Niu also snorted dissatisfiedly.

Moreover, his voice was not quiet. The people here were all masters of the Xuan Realm, so they could hear him clearly.

Zongzheng tilted his head slightly and looked this way, but his expression did not change at all, and then continued to look ahead.

Zong Peng can take him into the Library Pavilion, but it will also consume contributions.

So he doesn’t want this.

After all, entering the library to practice was more important to Zong Peng, so the contribution points were wasted on him.

As for himself, he can just wait with Bai Yi.

It doesn’t matter to him what other people think.

In a hall of the Three Laws Division.

Wu Yue looked at the list of people guarding the pavilion this time. These were ten people who usually performed reasonably well.

But then he raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, “Isn’t Zongzheng here?”

“this”

The man hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, “After all, it was too late for him to enter the Three Law Division of the Imperial Capital. My subordinates discussed it with them and decided that it would be better to wait a little longer.”

None of these ten people have been waiting for more than five years.

How long has Zong Zhengcai been here?

Moreover, it does not make any contribution to the Three Laws Division, and it will easily cause criticism if it is put up.

Wu Yue didn’t say much, but picked up the pen on the table and added Zongzheng’s name.

“Sir, that’s a lot to say.”

The man reminded from the side.

“Know.”

Wu Yue said lightly, and then the pen tip stopped on the names of the previous ten people one by one.

When I stopped at Niu Chang’s name, I started writing and crossed it out.

Then he put down the pen in his hand and said, “Zong Peng still needs to be given face.”

Ever since he came to the imperial capital, with his talent in martial arts and Zhan Tian’s attitude, he knew that the position of director had nothing to do with him.

In this case, it is better to give him some face and befriend him.

“This is reality.”

Wu Yue sighed in his heart.

Although he is unwilling to do so, he is extremely helpless because his martial arts talent lies here.

Sometimes dissatisfaction is not an option.

“That’s it.”

Wu Yue handed over the list in his hand.

The man took it with both hands, “Yes!”

Of course he had no objection, after all, the final decision-making power rested with Wu Yue.

Then after giving a slight salute, he headed to the martial arts arena.

“Why haven’t you come yet?”

Niu Chang felt a little impatient for no reason. Even though he was a master in the late stage of the Xuan Realm, his heart was beating ‘bang bang bang’ at this moment.

“It should be almost done. Don’t worry. You will be there when you are there. There is no point in being anxious.”

Yan Hong patted his shoulder.

“I don’t know, but after waiting for so many years, you don’t understand the feeling.”

Niu Chang shook his head helplessly.

It has only been three years since Yan Hong came to Sanfa Division, and it has only been two years for ‘Murong Chuan’.

But the two of them were in much better condition than him.

Whether it is his martial arts talent or his contribution to the Three Laws Division, Yan Hong, for example, visited the Three Laws Division below last year and killed several bandits in the late Xuan Realm.

As for Murong Chuan, he even killed a hidden killer half a year ago, and he was still in the late stage of the Xuan Realm.

The contributions made by these two people are enough for them to be included in this list.

Only he himself has been sitting in a place in the imperial capital for these years, working conscientiously, without making any mistakes or making any meritorious deeds.

But several of the streets he has managed over the years have been rated as superior.

And for five consecutive years!

This is also rare among the three law divisions.

He inquired about it a few days ago, and this time the list was prioritized as a criterion.

That’s why he was so excited.

“Coming!”

Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Niuchang was instantly startled and looked over immediately.

“It’s Mr. Fang.”

That means he made the list this time.

His expression suddenly became excited, because this news was revealed by someone close to Mr. Fang.

“Isn’t Lao Niu a little too excited?”

Yan Hong sent a message to Chen Xuan.

“Well, it’s a bit like it. It seems like I will definitely be selected!”

Chen Xuan was also a little curious.

“It’s strange. Did he receive any news?”

“We’ll find out later, so why be anxious.”

At this time, all eyes were focused on Fang Yuchen, who came in front of everyone with a faint smile on his face.

“Everyone has been waiting for a long time.”

Fang Yuchen’s voice was not loud, but it struck everyone’s heart directly.

“I’ve met Mr. Fang.”

At this time, all the white-clothed people bowed slightly to him.

“You’re welcome.”

The smile on Fang Yuchen’s face grew wider. He liked this feeling very much.

“You rule the world!”

That’s what power brings.

And it’s just such a small amount of power.

“hehe!”

Fang Yuchen chuckled in his heart.

However, he did not hang up these white clothes on purpose. At this time, everyone looked at the list in his hand eagerly.

“I know you have been waiting for a long time, and some of you have been waiting for five years, so I won’t waste any time and just start.”

After that, open the list in your hand.

“Ahem.”

Then he smiled and said, “There’s phlegm stuck in your throat, don’t get excited.”

“Ha ha.”

Immediately, these white-clothed people also laughed, but they were laughing with them. Some people were so nervous that they even forced a smile.

“It’s really naughty.”

Chen Xuan also shook his head and smiled.

These white clothes didn’t know how anxious they were at this time, but he came like this.

However, the originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot at this time.

“Okay, stop making trouble, let’s really start.”

Fang Yuchen looked at the list in his hand.

At this time, the entire martial arts arena was unusually quiet, and only the heavy breathing of some people could be heard.

“Yan Hong!”

“I’m here!”

Yan Hong almost gritted his teeth and said these two words, his face turned red, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and his big hands were tightly balled into fists.

Although I guessed that there was a high probability that he would be there this time.

But when Fang Yuchen actually said his name, the feeling was different.

“Congratulations, Brother Yan!”

Chen Xuan smiled and congratulated him. He was very familiar with this feeling in his previous life.

Isn’t it the end of the semester, waiting for the teacher to announce the candidates for the three best students?

“Tenze!”

The second name was then called out by Fang Yuchen.

“I am me!”

A middle-aged man in the crowd pointed at himself excitedly and shouted to everyone around him in surprise.

“Congratulations, congratulations.”

The bustling congratulations also started ringing out, and you knew you had a good relationship with him without even thinking about it.

As for the others, they were all staring at Fang Yuchen.

Then the third. The fourth!

With each name being spoken.

There are surprises and excitement.

But more people still want to see more.

In this situation, as the number of remaining places becomes less and less, some people have begun to sigh.

Disappointment in eyes.

“The ninth Murongchuan!”

“He is indeed there!”

Chen Xuan muttered in his heart, no wonder Ye Jinghong said it cost a lot.

“It seems that I have to make it up to him after it’s over.”

After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Chen Xuan felt a little regretful if he didn’t compensate Murong Chuan.

“With you. Murong, why are you so calm?”

Yan Hong punched Chen Xuan, grinned and laughed.

Among the three law divisions, he had the best relationship with Murong Chuan. Of course he was happy when both of them were selected at the same time.

“hehe!”

“Happy, why aren’t you happy?”

“Just shocked.”

Chen Xuan forced out a smile and pretended to be in a trance.

He couldn’t help but pretend. Many people looked at him.

It would be too abnormal to be unhappy about such a big event.

“Hahaha, you are worse than me, you are stunned.”

Yan Hong took the opportunity to joke.

“There’s one more. One more.”

At this moment Niu Chang murmured, if it was normal, he would definitely say “congratulations”, after all, he and Murong Chuan also have a good relationship.

But now he is really not in the mood.

His eyes were fixed on Fang Yuchen, and even his nervous face was a little distorted.

He kept mumbling in his mouth.

Yan Hong didn’t speak at this time. After all, he was the last one. It would be better if he was Niu Chang. If not, he would be selected after all, and it would be bad by then, so not speaking was the best choice.

“The last one.”

Speaking of this, Fang Yuchen paused for a moment and glanced at everyone, “Zong Zheng!”

Finally, his eyes rested on Zong Zheng.

In Silence, almost everyone’s eyes turned to Zongzheng.

“It’s him!”

“How could it be him!”

“He has only been here for a short time, and he has not made any achievements.”

“What’s the point? I have a good big brother.”

Suddenly, people who were not selected this time started talking.

“Not me?!”

Niu Chang was completely stunned and couldn’t believe the result.

Doesn’t it mean that the basis for this selection is the results of the selections over the years?

And that person said that 99% of the time he was on the list.

“impossible!”

Niu Chang raised his head suddenly. It must be him, Zongzheng, who had taken his place.

In an instant, the breath couldn’t help but burst out.

“It’s you, it’s you!”

Niu Chang looked at Zongzheng angrily, “You were the one who robbed me!”

“presumptuous!”

“Niu Chang, are you going to rebel?”

Fang Yuchen interrupted him with a loud shout. At the same time, the aura of the third level of Taoist realm burst out, pressing on Niu Chang’s body.

He was bent over directly!

But this is still the result of his mercy.

“Master Fang, Niu Chang just lost his mind temporarily. You have a lot, please spare him once.”

Yan Hong quickly begged him.

Not only him, but others also started to plead for mercy.

This is enough to show that Niu Chang’s popularity in Sanfa Division is still good, and of course part of it is because he is unhappy with Zongzheng.

Although they are not sure whether this quota belongs to Niu Chang, they know that Zongzheng’s name should not appear on this list.

But there is no way, who gives him a good big brother.

And now that it has been announced, it will not be changed.

They couldn’t stand it anymore, so they asked Niu Chang for mercy.

“snort!”

Fang Yuchen snorted coldly, and then restrained his breath.

But he wasn’t really angry.

But Niu Chang must not let Niu Chang say the next words in public.

Furthermore, he knows the situation best.

Although Niu Chang has not made great achievements in recent years, there has not been a single incident in the street under his jurisdiction in recent years.

Rated as superior every year.

After so many years of accumulation, when selecting people this time, he was actually the first one.

But there was no way. Wu Yue just crossed out his name.

“Why!”

I sighed in my heart, maybe this is the sorrow of an honest person?

Of course, this is just a guess in his mind, or it may be that he is simply unlucky.

“The ten of you will come to the Library Pavilion early tomorrow morning, and your positions will be assigned then.”

After the explanation, Fang Yuchen left here, and he had to go to Wu Yue to recover his life.

“Bang!”

Niu Chang sat down on the ground, his eyes were dull, and his whole person was dull, as if he was stupid.

“Why!”

Chen Xuan also sighed quietly in his heart.

After struggling for so many years, I saw the opportunity coming, but I didn’t expect that I would be rejected by a related accountant in the end.

This kind of blow is not something ordinary people can bear.

“Old Niu, it’s okay. I’ve been waiting for so many years, and it won’t be less than a year and a half. Cheer up.”

Yan Hong squatted down and comforted him.

“hehe!”

Niu Chang showed a smile that was uglier than bitter.

“Old Yan, you don’t know the situation. There’s nothing we can do.”

He raised his head and sighed.

His dull eyes recovered, but they were full of disappointment.

He then stood up slowly, and faced Yan Hong and Chen Xuan, and squeezed out the biggest smile he could now, “Congratulations to you two.”

“I’ll go back to my place first. There are many things to do, and I need to deal with them every day.”

After that, he walked directly outside.

But he looked very lonely.

Yan Hong couldn’t help shaking his head, “Old Niu’s luck has been too bad in recent years.”

“Yeah!”

“And he seemed very confident that he would be selected before, but in the end…”

Chen Xuan didn’t say anything more.

“What can we do?”

Yan Hong spread his hands, “In the imperial capital, sometimes background is more important than other things.”

“Be careful with your words!”

Chen Xuan lowered his voice.

“It’s okay, Lord Fang has left, what are you afraid of.”

Yan Hong is not afraid at all now.

And those people are also talking about this matter at this time, but they are transmitting their voices.

As for the person involved, Zong Zheng, he had no expression on his face and then walked out silently.

He didn’t say a word from beginning to end.

In fact, he was also surprised in his heart, but… after thinking about it, he was not so surprised.

After all, his elder brother’s current status and position, as well as the degree of respect he has received from Elder Zhan, still gave him some face.

He relied on his elder brother, but isn’t background a kind of strength? (End of this chapter)
