Chapter 58 Counting the spoils
Ning Fusang understood immediately and asked: "Elder Lu Cong can't return to the sect to serve?"
In front of Yang Ruo, Ning Fusang always called Lu Cong by his first name, but when she came to Gu Pingsheng, she used the honorific title. After all, he has not yet been convicted, and the other party is still an elder after all.
Gu Pingsheng flipped his palm, and there was a pile of files on the table: "This is all evidence that Lu Cong has accepted bribes for many years to seek power for personal gain. You can take a look."
Ning Fusang didn't bother with this matter, which was not in compliance with the rules. He picked up the top file and checked it with peace of mind.
Lu Cong, a native of Beiyu Ling Prefecture, joined the Southern Star Sword Sect in 40955, the third calendar year of Zhong Ling, and is now an eighth-level monk.
The era that Ning Fusang is currently living in is the fifth era. Zhong Ling's world has experienced a total of 241,260 years. For the convenience of recording, one hundred thousand years is used as a calendar.
She continued to look down, all of which were crimes committed by Lu Cong after he was promoted to the elder of the outer sect and abused his power for personal gain. For example, changing the candidates for the outer sect disciples to go to the secret realm, or accepting spiritual stones from disciples, leaking the contents of the year-end assessment, and so on, are actually harmless things that can be turned a blind eye.
Except for people like Yang Ruo, everyone knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The Nanxing Sword Sect would not punish Lu Cong severely because of these crimes.
So the key lies in the question Ning Fusang asked at the beginning.
Lu Cong cannot return to the sect to serve.
Ning Fusang closed the file and put it away neatly: "Master Gu, if this incident had not happened, where would Elder Lu Cong have served when he came back?"
"On the sword pavilion." Gu Pingsheng had always known that Ning Fusang was smart, and he was not surprised or surprised that she thought of this so quickly.
The Nanxing Sword Sect's Sword Lun Pavilion is open to the outside world, just like Yu Lingzhou's Sword Asking Club, all related matters are prepared by the Sword Lun Pavilion.
Information such as the number of people traveling in the sect, the list of sword-asking disciples, their realms, flying swords, etc. will all be handled by Lunjian Pavilion.
The deal between Qiushuang Sword Sect and Lu Cong was definitely not just for a few sharks. Four years later, they have already started to arrange the Sword Asking Club.
After reading the past files, Ning Fusang had an estimate of Lu Cong. If the Qiu Shuang Sword Sect just wanted some information, he might not refuse to give it to him. What's more, Lu Cong still has such a leverage in the opponent's hands.
The reason why the sect wants to deal with him is not because of these crimes, but because Lu Cong is unfit for use.
Nanxing Sword Sect and Qiu Shuang Sword Sect are both swordsmen sects and are each other's biggest competitors. Lu Cong should not have a relationship with people from Qiu Shuang Sword Sect.
"How can Master Gu be sure that Yang Ruo will be able to discover Lu Cong's behavior of selling sharks?" This is what Ning Fusang didn't want to understand.
Because Yang Ruo's discovery of this matter was purely coincidental.
Gu Pingsheng smiled and looked at her. Ning Fusang suddenly realized that she was also a pawn in this game.
When it comes to calculating people's hearts, how can she outplay these thousand-year-old foxes?
The girl's hands placed flat in front of her knees trembled slightly, and she quickly regained her mood.
"Master Gu, the student still has a question."
Ning Fusang's attitude was respectful, as if he were asking for knowledge.
"Ask."
Gu Pingsheng said slowly.
"Master Gu, does he know who the elder was stationed at Qingbo Dong Lake a few years ago?" Ning Fusang observed Gu Pingsheng's reaction openly.
He held the hand holding the teacup, paused lightly, and with a deepening voice, he reminded: "I won't pursue the matter of Qingbodong Lake for the first three decades. This matter ends with Lu Cong. You don't need to explore it, and you don't need to worry. ”
Ning Fusang smiled sweetly and responded: "Student understands." "But -"
She changed the subject and said, "Yang Ruo knows that the elder's surname is Lu."
That's it, there's no need to go into details. Gu Pingsheng knew very well what his disciple's temperament was. He nodded to express that he understood.
"Tomorrow's swordsmanship class is in Feilin Valley. Don't forget the time."
Ning Fusang heard the meaning of seeing off guests in Gu Pingsheng's words, stood up and said, "Student, please remember."
To be honest, even if Gu Pingsheng had no intention of seeing off the guests, Ning Fusang would have to say goodbye himself.
On the way down the mountain, he met Yang Ruo sitting on the stone stairs and asked, "Junior Sister Ning, are you leaving so soon?"
"This is your first time coming to Songhan Peak. Let me show you around. The scenery at Songhan Peak is quite stunning."
The girl smiled brightly and said in a clean voice: "Mr. Gu has already served tea to see off the guests. I can't be so ignorant."
Ning Fusang brushed her clothes and walked down the mountain path.
Guicai was going to visit Songhan Peak with Yang Ruo. What's so interesting about a few pine trees? She had better go back and count the storage bags she picked up, which was more enjoyable.

Wuyuan.
Several flowers planted by Ruan Sanniang have covered the small courtyard. The red, yellow, orange and white flowers of different colors are swaying in the wind.
Ning Fusang opened the courtyard door. The courtyard was cleaned very clean, and even the water tank was filled.
It is true that Ruan Sanniang is a very diligent person.
She had a rest today. She might have gone out to visit the market and was not in the house.
After Ning Fusang hung the "nothing" sign outside the door, she entered the house and opened several storage bags she got during the trip.
There were four storage bags for the Qiu Shuang Sword Sect disciples. Ning Fusang got five from the group of rogue cultivators and gave one to Yang Ruo, so she got a total of eight storage bags.
They are all low-level storage bags with not much space, and contain a total of 432 spiritual stones. Ning Fusang doesn't expect those who can come out to rob Dao to be rich. With this number, she is quite satisfied.
Apart from the spirit stones, there were all miscellaneous things, including four second-level lightning talismans, a golden spirit net, a bottle of healing pills, a bottle of detoxification pills, a few bolts of snow-white silk and satin, and a simple bronze bell.
What interested Ning Fusang the most was a piece of gold artifact that looked like a bamboo. After studying it for a while, she discovered the purpose of this object. It could actually see distant scenes.
Ning Fusang looked down at the thing in his hand, raised his lips and said, "Let me call you Telescope."
Although she can't really see the scene thousands of miles away, the magic weapon can be upgraded. In the future, she will find some materials to upgrade the telescope. It may not be impossible to see thousands of miles through the mirror.
Ning Fusang used spiritual power as a blade and carved the word "Fusang" on the telescope.
After putting away the telescope, she looked at the two jade slips in the storage bag.
These two exercises are "Xiao Zhoutian Qi Transformation Method" and "Three Swords of Qi Wave" respectively. The former is a cultivation method that turns Qi into spirit. Ning Fusang discovered its shortcomings after scanning the contents of the jade slips.
"Xiao Zhoutian Qi Transformation Method" is a cultivation method that turns spiritual energy into spiritual power. It is essentially the same as the "Spirit Refining Technique" of Nanxing Sword Sect.
By practicing according to the above cultivation method, the speed of refining spiritual energy is even faster than the "Spirit Refining Technique", but its disadvantages are also obvious, the spiritual energy transformed will not be pure enough.
