……
"Your Highness, please come in."
Wang Shouzhe's soft voice came from the study.
Goddess Xinglan pushed the door open with worry, and saw Wang Shouzhe sitting at the desk writing something, looking very serious.
Due to the angle, half of Wang Shouzhe's face was hidden in shadow. Only his full forehead, straight bridge of nose, and excellent side profile were particularly clear under the outline of light and shadow.
From the red copper incense burner in the corner of the desk, sandalwood scent is rising.
On the coffee table nearby, a furnace of fairy tea is warming on the stove, exuding a fresh and fragrant tea fragrance.
For some reason, Goddess Xinglan calmed down after seeing this scene.
Seeing that Wang Shouzhe was looking attentive, she did not dare to disturb him. Instead, she stood aside obediently, sharpening his fairy ink and pouring him a cup of fairy tea from time to time.
After a long time, Wang Shouzhe stopped writing and looked at Goddess Xinglan with a smile: "Your Highness has just returned to Wuji Palace, and there should be many trivial matters to deal with. I have lived here quite happily in [Lumingyuan] Feel free, Your Highness does not need to pay too much attention."
Not paying attention?
If this quasi-goddess doesn’t pay attention, I’m afraid you’ll eat the Nine-Colored Immortal Deer before you know it.
Goddess Xinglan was thinking secretly in her heart, but she did not dare to show it on her face. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and said with a slight blush: "Actually, Xinglan came to see the young master this time. Yes, she has something to ask for help from the young master. It’s just that this matter is a bit difficult to talk about, and I don’t know where to start.”
Wang Shouzhe smiled tenderly, first invited Goddess Xinglan to sit down, and then made her a pot of tea alone, and then said: "Your Highness the Goddess is too polite. You and I are from the same family, and we should support each other. If Your Highness has any difficulties, you might as well tell Shouzhe and I will definitely help with whatever I can."
Sure enough, as Jiuse Xianlu said, Mr. Shouzhe is rich and gentle.
Listening to his warm words and looking at his calm and gentle face, Goddess Xinglan seemed to be spiritually encouraged. She took a deep breath, and then asked Elder Baohu from the Divine Treasure Hall and Elder Ji Yan from the Nanming Temple. Zu worked together to put pressure on her, trying to force her to marry the quasi-god son of Mingzhe, and told her in detail.
Wang Shouzhe's expression gradually became serious, and after a moment of hesitation he said, "How can Your Majesty the Goddess, Shouzhe, help you?"
"Borrow, borrow money..." Goddess Xinglan swallowed, extremely nervous.
She has lived for more than 4,000 years, and this is the first time she has asked someone to borrow money. It is inevitable that she will blush and feel panic.
"Why do I think His Highness is so nervous?" Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly and said, "Shouzhe still has some spare money in his hand. I wonder how much His Highness wants to borrow?"
Hearing Mr. Shouzhe's tone, Goddess Xinglan relaxed slightly and said, "A thousand Chaos Spiritual Stones."
After she finished speaking, she felt a little regretful and hurriedly said: "If you think it's too much, Master, you can borrow six to seven hundred Chaos Spiritual Stones."
Wang Shouzhe's expression did not change at all, as if whether it was six or seven hundred or thousands of Chaos Spiritual Stones, it was just a number to him.
But he did not agree immediately, but pondered for a while, and then said: "It is okay to borrow money, but according to the current economic situation of the shrine, it is probably very difficult to repay the money in a short time. Somewhat difficult."
"I wonder, Your Majesty the Goddess, if you have a repayment plan?"
Goddess Xinglan was stunned.
She really didn’t think about the repayment plan at all...
Her face was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but said with shame: "Master Shouzhe, Xinglan is telling you the truth, our palace is currently unable to make ends meet every year, I...I...I am willing to be like a pu willow..."
Before she finished speaking, she was hurriedly interrupted by Wang Shouzhe: "Your Highness, shut up!"
He was quite speechless inside.
We talk about borrowing money in a normal way, but why do we always behave like a willow tree and pledge ourselves to each other? It makes him seem like a villain who uses money to blackmail girls.
Goddess Xinglan’s face turned even redder, and she was a little embarrassed and angry, her eyes were dark.
Unexpectedly, she was willing to sacrifice herself, but was flatly rejected by Mr. Shouzhe.
Could it be that, in the eyes of Mr. Shouzhe, she is the majestic Xinglan goddess, really the beauty of a willow tree?
"Ahem!" Wang Shouzhe straightened his posture and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Goddess, please don't misunderstand me. In fact, in Shouzhe's mind, Wuji Shrine is sitting on a treasure house without knowing it. As long as Your Highness is willing to change his mind, it's just a matter of time." What are thousands of Chaos Spiritual Stones?"
"Why do you need to wrong yourself so much?"
Goddess Xinglan hesitated slightly, her eyes were a bit sad and disappointed: "I understand what Mr. Shouzhe means. Based on the foundation of the palace, if we sell some spiritual veins, Taoist books, Hunyuan Taoist tools, etc., You can indeed raise spiritual stones quickly."
“It’s just that the assets of Wuji Shrine are the foundation accumulated by generations of ancestors, and they are also the hope for the shrine to rise again in the future.”
"You sell some today, and I will sell some tomorrow. The palace must be getting weaker and weaker, and gradually loses the ability to make a comeback."
For this reason, Goddess Xinglan would rather shamelessly commit herself to Wang Shouzhe to solve the problem than reduce the palace's heritage.
Of course, there is also the factor of Shouzhe's personal charm.
If it were Mingzhe, the quasi-god son, she wouldn't even want to take a look.
"Your Highness is right, but Shouzhe didn't mean it that way." Wang Shouzhe did not refute her words, but threw out a big cake, "Your Highness wants to solve the dilemma and make a lot of money for the shrine at the same time. Money, accumulation of wealth?"
"?"
Goddess Xinglan’s eyes widened immediately, her face full of confusion.
How can we make money when the shrine is so poor? Where to make money from?
"If His Highness is willing to risk everything, Shouzhe has a plan that can help His Highness realize the first step of his dream." Wang Shouzhe slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, his tone extremely indifferent.
"Yes, I am willing to risk everything." Goddess Xinglan's eyes immediately shone, and she grabbed Wang Shouzhe's arm with great excitement, "If we can really do what Mr. Shouzhe said, he can do whatever he wants to Xinglan. ."
I want to ask you to let me go first, and don’t pull or pull.
Wang Shouzhe glared at her and ordered her to sit up straight, and then started talking about the business with a very serious expression: "Before formulating a strategy, I would also like to ask His Highness to provide some core information about the palace. Don't hide anything."
"Okay."
Next, Wang Shouzhe asked and Goddess Xinglan answered.
As the problem gradually deepened, Wang Shouzhe's understanding of Wuji Shrine also deepened step by step.
Unconsciously, a prototype plan was deduced and repaired step by step in Wang Shouzhe's mind, and gradually completed.
After three full days and three nights.
Goddess Xinglan left [Lumingyuan] with a glowing face.
She was as if she had eaten the best natural and earthly treasures, her whole body was full of passion and excitement, and her eyes had a light called "hope".
Wait until she leaves.
Wang Longyan, Wang Anye, and a nine-color fairy deer came out of the darkness and gathered together.
Nine Color Immortal Lu made a conclusive report: "Sister Longyan, brother Anye. Is Xiaolu right? Our goddess Xinglan is plotting against Mr. Shouzhe."
“Three days and three nights~”
"Ouch, ow, ow, ow~ How can the young master's body bear this? My goddess is too fierce..."
"Shut up. Shouzhe has worked hard for the family all his life, and what's wrong with enjoying it occasionally?" Wang Longyan glared at Jiusexianlu in shame, "This matter is rotten in my stomach, and no one else can Don’t say it.”
"Sister Longyan, don't worry." Jiusexianlu said with her chest raised, "I will personally guard the young master when I turn around, and I will not allow the goddess to step into the young master's study again."
Wang Anye also shook his head, saying that he saw and heard nothing.
Only Wang Longyan is still worried.
If this matter is not handled well, the foundation of the family will be shaken.
However, she could find someone to discuss other matters, but the less people knew about this matter, the better. She didn't even have anyone to discuss with, so she had to secretly figure out how to solve the family crisis.
Hey~ She is so worried.
******
Goddess Xinglan didn’t know that some people were secretly making up tens of thousands of words of drama as she walked in and out.
As the "culprit", her mind was filled with the glorious future planned for her by Wang Shouzhe.
If the grand blueprint that Wang Shouzhe drew for her in the portable cave was only a basic outline, now there is already a corner of this huge blueprint with a specific implementation plan. .
In this situation, how can she care about anything else?
After bidding farewell to Wang Shouzhe, she rushed directly to the Wuji Shrine Palace and said to her master, Taoist Master Chenguang: "Master, I have figured it out. I am willing to sacrifice myself and marry the quasi-god son Mingzhe. ”
Master Chenguang is thin and has gray hair on his temples. He obviously looks like he has worked hard for Wuji Shrine all his life and his heart has been broken.
Hearing this, his body trembled, and he put down his pen and ink. His eyes were full of distress and apology for his disciple: "Xinglan, it's because I am useless as a teacher. I have dragged you down, and it is also the palace that feels sorry for you."
Goddess Xinglan looked slightly sad and angry, but also a little unwilling. After a slight hesitation, she said: "Logically speaking, as a disciple of the temple, it is natural for Xinglan to sacrifice for the temple, and it is not worth flaunting. But it ended like this. I still feel a little unwilling~"
Seeing Xinglan in such pain, Taoist Master Chen Guang felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, like a knife cutting through a needle.
He felt extremely guilty and said: "Xinglan, if you have any wishes, just tell my teacher, and my teacher will satisfy you no matter what."
What I’m waiting for is your words.
Goddess Xinglan's face straightened up and her tone was clear and crisp: "I want to be the current palace master."
"..."
Master Chenguang was silent for a while.
He never expected that his disciple would directly want to usurp the throne!
After a moment of silence, he sighed: "Xinglan, it's not that Master is nostalgic for the position of the Palace Master."
"I just know how difficult it is to be the palace master of this generation, and the responsibilities on my shoulders are as heavy as the Tianyuan Mountain."
"You are only 4,000 years old, and you are still young. I am afraid that you cannot bear such a heavy burden. Why don't you study hard, and when you reach the Hunyuan realm, the master will immediately pass on to you."
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with what Master Chen Guang said.
But this was an extraordinary time, and she couldn't afford to wait.
Goddess Xinglan took a deep breath and said firmly: "One hundred years!"
"Master, please give me a hundred years to give it a try. If I can change the situation and reverse the decline of the shrine, I will consider the long-term marriage with Ancestor Ji Yan."
"If I, Xinglan, are unable to save my life, everything will be my fate."
"At that time, I will accept my fate, obey Master's arrangements honestly, and assist the quasi-god son Mingzhe in his fight for the inheritance of the son of god."
Dao Master Chenguang almost laughed out of anger.
Xinglan, are you questioning my master’s ability to take charge?
It has been more than a hundred thousand years since I, Chenguang, took over as the "Acting Palace Master". I have barely managed to turn the tide, but I still cannot stop the gradual decline of the palace.
But you, my dear disciple, want to turn things around in just one hundred years, from decline to prosperity...
This is undoubtedly a fantasy.
"Xinglan, I know that you are unwilling to give in! How much can you change if you are in charge of the temple for a mere hundred years?" Taoist Master Chenguang sighed helplessly.
"Master, do you dare to take a gamble?" Goddess Xinglan looked at Taoist Master Chenguang steadily, her words were provocative, but the look in her starry eyes was extremely determined, "I am only the palace master for a hundred years. , is Master still afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
"Haha~~" Taoist Master Chen Guang laughed angrily, "That's okay. I understand that if this request cannot satisfy you, you will not really be willing to do so."
"Since you want to gamble, I will gamble with you."
Goddess Xinglan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately pursued her victory: "If I can do it, then the future development of the palace will be up to me."
"OK."
Dao Master Chen Guang was also aroused a bit of anger.
This precious disciple of my own is really too naive, has never really suffered, and is a little ignorant of the world. In this case, let this cruel world teach her a lesson.
His expression was slightly cold, and his tone became colder: "If you can do it, the word 'generation' will be removed from now on, and you will be the real master of Wuji Palace. If you can't do it..."
"If I can't do it, I will be willing to marry the Son of God Mingzhe and implement the plan to save the palace." Goddess Xinglan also made a sonorous and powerful promise.
“It’s a deal!”
“It’s hard to chase a horse!”
The master and the apprentice stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, facing each other like a red-eyed bullfight, completely afraid that the other party would regret it.
"As I said before, since I will be in power for a hundred years, I have to make the decision on all matters big and small in this palace. What if some elders are dissatisfied and defy me? If so, I will lose. I am not willing to give in." Goddess Xinglan blinked her eyes and began to add conditions.
This request is very reasonable.
Taoist Master Chenguang thought for a moment and felt that there was no problem, so he patted his chest and agreed: "My teacher will support you in everything. Just go ahead and do it. Even if you make mistakes, don't be afraid. I will support you in everything." You carry it."
In his opinion, a mere hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, and what can be changed is limited after all. Even if the girl Xinglan made a mistake and caused some losses, when he returns to power, he will naturally be able to turn things around again.
These are all minor problems. As long as the girl Xinglan is willing to marry the quasi-divine son of Mingzhe, it will be a huge benefit to the palace.
The more Taoist Master Chen Guang thought about it, the more it made sense. As if he was afraid that Goddess Xinglan would regret it, he hurriedly signed a contract with her and handed over the [Wuji Divine Seal], a symbol of power.
After doing all this, he took the hand of Goddess Xinglan and solemnly said: "Xinglan, within a hundred years from today, you will be the helmsman of Wuji Palace! You can do whatever you want. Do it, don’t leave any regrets or regrets for the rest of your life. The master will inform all units in the shrine~~~”
Although Taoist Master Chenguang didn't have much hope for this matter, he still had a little bit of expectation in his heart. What if?
What if my precious disciple is really a genius and a miracle happens?
"Don't worry, Master." Goddess Xinglan held the Wuji Divine Seal in both hands, her expression was extremely solemn, and a touch of fanaticism and determination flashed in her eyes, "In my hands, the palace will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes."
Dao Master Chen Guang nodded secretly.
Ambition~
I'm just a disciple. Although the dream is good, the reality is cruel. I just hope that when you fail in the future, you can accept the reality and not be hit too hard~
However, what Taoist Master Chenguang never expected was that before long, Wuji Palace would really be "turned upside down"!
******
Goddess Xinglan takes charge of the Wuji Palace in place of Taoist Master Chen Guang. This is undoubtedly earth-shattering news.
In just one month, the news spread throughout the entire shrine and Wuji City.
However, after the initial surprise, everyone in the Wuji Shrine system slowly came to their senses and happily accepted this change.
Goddess Xinglan is the successor of the Shrine. With the current economic situation of the Shrine, it is impossible to train a second quasi-goddess. It can be said that the Shrine will definitely be handed over to her in the future.
The future also points to her having a great future~
Now she is just taking charge of the shrine in advance, just to hone her skills.
Similar situations are not uncommon in history. The only slight difference is that Xinglan is still too young now, only four to five thousand years old.
Moreover, the period of taking charge this time is only a hundred years, which is only a snap of the fingers for a big boss in the Hunyuan realm, even for the goddess Xinglan in the Da Luo realm.
Even if Xinglan accidentally made a mistake, it would not be difficult to reverse it later.
Many elders and deacons in the palace have even secretly made up their minds. If Xinglan has any ideas or plans, they will try their best to assist her and satisfy her without any pushback.
……
Just when many elders in the palace were disturbing each other and had their own thoughts.
One of the guest courtyards of Wuji Shrine - [Tide View Garden].
Similar to the [Luming Courtyard] where Wang Shouzhe stayed temporarily, [Guanchao Courtyard] is also a very good courtyard in the Wuji Shrine.
However, compared with the pastoral style of the Luming Courtyard, which is full of spiritual plants, surrounded by spiritual streams, and has nine-color fairy deer walking in it, the scenery in the Guanchao Garden is less winding paths. Graceful, adding a touch of majesty and grandeur.
The buildings in the garden are very distinctive. Not only are they generally relatively tall, but almost every building has a terrace or hanging garden on the top.
The views from these terraces or sky gardens are quite good. After dusk falls, standing in these terraces and sky gardens, you can have a very clear view of the rushing and gorgeous Milky Way overhead.
Every time the seasons change, the rushing energy in the Milky Way will form tides, blooming into colorful lights in the night sky, which is brilliant and beautiful.
[Tide View Garden] is also named after this.
The person currently living in this [Chao Guan Yuan] is Bao Hu, the elder of the Divine Treasure Hall.
Now that Wuji Shrine is seeking help from Elder Baohu, it naturally gives him the best hospitality.
The small building where Elder Baohu lives in the Chao Guan Yuan is also the best building in the Chao Guan Yuan. It is not only the area with the most spiritual energy, but also the best place to "watch the tide".
At this moment.
In the sky garden at the top of the small building.
Elder Baohu and Goddess Xinglan were sitting across from each other, drinking tea, chatting and admiring the mighty Milky Way across the sky above their heads.
In the Milky Way, the surging energy tide blooms with brilliant brilliance. Looking from below, it is like a jade-colored glow covering the heaven and earth, which is so beautiful.
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Goddess." Elder Baohu had obviously heard the news that Goddess Xinglan was in charge of the temple instead of Taoist Master Chenguang. He had a warm smile on his rich face and his attitude towards Goddess Xinglan was also very polite. , "To take charge of Wuji Shrine at such a young age, it seems that the future is boundless, boundless~"
"Alas~ My generation as the Palace Master is under a lot of pressure~" Goddess Xinglan sighed as she drank tea, "I come here this time to ask for the wealth and treasures of the Divine Treasure Palace, so I can give you a lot of support. ~"
"It's easy to talk~ If Her Majesty the Goddess has any excellent ideas, our Divine Treasure Palace will help you." Elder Baohu smiled with a smile on his face and drew the cake casually.
He said, "Excellent idea"!
As for what is excellence? Isn't it his Baohu who has the final say?
For example, if she wants to take this opportunity to postpone the repayment of the special loan for the Divine Pill of Creation, then give her some face and postpone it until a hundred years later.
He also heard about the bet, which seemed to be quite beneficial to Mingzhe Shenzi.
A mere hundred years is just a snap of the fingers. The cruel fairy world will teach her what reality is.
"I have a lot of plans to implement, but I am short of money." Goddess Xinglan told the truth.
Is it so direct?
Elder Baohu's expression froze, and then he laughed as if nothing had happened: "Your Highness the Goddess, you might as well give me a number and see if I can satisfy this elder. However, we have agreed in advance that the loan must be secured... …”
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Goddess Xinglan had already waved her hand and slapped the table with a "bang" sound.
Elder Baohu was so shocked that his words suddenly stuck on his lips.
After he finally calmed down, and when he was about to ask, he saw that Goddess Xinglan had already moved away his slap.
On the table, there is a thick stack of land deeds.
This stack of land deeds is glowing with golden light, and a special charm blooms from it. It looks very good in texture.
This is a paper contract made with seventeenth-level divine plants. It can last for millions of years, or even tens of millions of years and be immortal.
This is the special land deed paper for the ninth-grade spiritual vein!
Looking at such a scene, Elder Debaohu’s pupils shrank, and his words were stuck again when he reached his mouth. He didn’t know what Goddess Xinglan was going crazy about.
"When my master succeeded to the throne, there were still thirty-seven ninth-grade spiritual veins left in the temple. Now, one hundred thousand years later, six of them have been completely lost. Now there are only thirty-one left, and among them Eight ninth-grade spiritual veins have been pledged to the Guishen Palace as pledges."
"Now, we only have twenty-three ninth-grade spiritual veins left in our hands."
Goddess Xinglan said word by word.
"This..." Elder Baohu's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly defended, "Having said that, this is just a purely commercial behavior. Her Highness the Goddess has just taken charge of the palace and is ready to settle old scores, right?"
"No!"
Goddess Xinglan's eyes were determined and calm, but her voice was sonorous and powerful: "I have mortgaged all the remaining twenty-three ninth-grade spiritual veins and borrowed 6,900 Chaos Spiritual Stones from your palace!"
"What?!"
"All mortgaged?!!"
Elder Baohu was so frightened that he stood up directly, his small black eyes widened, his expression full of joy.
But at this moment, he no longer cares about expression management.
His current mood was as if someone had poured a basin of hot oil over his head, but also as if he had been kicked out of nowhere. His heart was numb and he was shocked and unhappy at the same time. Believe it or not, it feels as unreal as falling into a dream.
It is said that the Palace Master Chenguang is the most prodigal Palace Master in the history of Wuji Palace. He sells off his property at every turn and takes out mortgages whenever his mind changes.
But compared to the behavior of Goddess Xinglan today, Master Chenguang is nothing!
She has only been in charge of the palace for a month. Is Goddess Xinglan preparing to win the title of the most prodigal palace master in one fell swoop? ! ! !
