Patriarch Gu coughed and said, "I'm old and my legs and feet are bad. Now that the sea monster has retreated, let the little ones deal with the funeral."
The three ancestors looked at each other and turned back to Jiping together.
Guanzhu Sun received the replies from the three ancestors, and reluctantly reselected a master from the temple to lead the team to help Haijin.
After Deacon Sun heard about it, he was both surprised and delighted by his son Huai Mengde's performance. I was surprised that my son was so brave and not afraid of death, but I was happy that my son had made such a great contribution. He took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the team, Sun Guanzhu naturally agreed. Deacon Sun called Huai Mengde's master, together with five elders, and led a hundred elite inner disciples to Haijin.
On the afternoon of the third day after the Kraken attacked Haijin City, Deacon Sun led reinforcements to Haijin City.
Master Gui of Haijin Taoist Temple happily led his people to welcome him.
Of course Li Huaide also had to go, and he felt relieved when he heard that Deacon Sun led the team. Anyone could take the credit for him, but Deacon Sun would not. He knew that Deacon Sun was willing to come because he was here, in order to keep his credit. He appreciates it.
It's just that he was a little depressed, he didn't make an appointment with Yu Qingyao at noon, and he was not free at night.
Yu Qingyao declined Huai Mengde's invitation on the grounds that she was too busy at noon.
In fact, she was ready to accept the invitation. If Li Huaide was tougher and invited again, she would accept it.
Unexpectedly, she refused once, and Li Huaide didn't ask again.
Yu Qingyao ignored the matter.
It's too dishonest to invite you only once and then don't ask again. This girl is too lazy to talk to you.
Yu Qingyao cares about doing her own good deeds.
That night, the Daoist Academy held a large banquet in honor of the reinforcements from the inner courtyard.
Master Gui and the others enthusiastically persuaded the guests to drink, and desperately curry favor with the distinguished guests in the inner courtyard, and the banquet lasted until midnight.
After the banquet, Deacon Sun and Elder Che found Li Huaide and his key members and asked about the battle situation in detail.
After listening to the report carefully, Deacon Sun confirmed that his son did not falsely report his military exploits. There are many Taoists and officers and soldiers in the city who can testify to everything.
He pondered for a while, and said: "Mengde, you have done a very good job this time. I will personally report to the temple master that your contribution will not be discounted in any way. We must act fairly and justly. With such a great achievement, the temple will definitely appreciate it." Thank you, you have set a good example for the young disciples in Guanli. Our Pingtian Temple needs someone like you who is bold, careful and able to take on important responsibilities."
Elder Che nodded with a smile on the side. He didn't expect that the young apprentice he accepted could do such a big thing.
Tao Wenxiang and the others were all honored by the side, and they also participated in the defense of the city, and they also had a share of the credit. Huai Mengde eats meat, and they can also drink thick soup. This is the benefit of following the right person. Follow the wrong person, make a great contribution, there is no merit, let alone a reward.
Deacon Sun's tone suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "It's just that if you report it, someone will criticize you. Let me ask you, how can the city walls of Haijin City block the attack of the tsunami?"
Tao Wenxiang quickly replied: "I have carefully checked the city wall of the eastern city of Haijin with my spiritual sense. That part of the city wall is very special. It seems to be made of a whole mountain rock, and it goes deep into the ground, so it can block the impact of the tsunami."
Deacon Sun was taken aback and asked, "Is this true?"
Huai Mengde's guardian said beside him: "It's true, I checked it too."
Elder Che wondered: "That's weird, how did Haijin City build such a city wall?"
Li Huaide knew in his heart that it wasn't built by Haijin City, it was built by his junior sister's demon pet Ah Fu.
He said with a guilty conscience: "No matter what, the city wall is so strong, if others don't believe it, just come and check it."
Deacon Sun murmured, "That's right, I'll take someone to see it for myself tomorrow."
He will bring the elders from the inner courtyard to see it tomorrow, so he can naturally be a witness.
He asked again: "It was Axiu who took back the city gate tower and killed General Merman?"
Tao Wenxiang and the others nodded in embarrassment.
Li Huaide wanted his junior sister to share the benefits, and said with a smile: "Yes, Axiu is Yu Qingyao's demon pet. She has contributed the most to defending Haijin this time. Axiu helped us take back the city wall, and killed the general of the merman, the merman With fear in my heart, I dare not attack the city again."
Deacon Sun glared at his son with displeasure, and thought: Mengde is so stupid, how can you say this kind of credit in public, fortunately it is in private, here are all his own people. If others hear it, they will inevitably attribute all the credit for keeping Haijin to her, so what's the matter with you
This kind of thing is not impossible, Huai Mengde got such a credit, other true disciples will be under great pressure. For example, the three of Wang Junmao, when they all ran away in panic, but Huai Mengde stayed behind to defend the city, all three of them would become a laughing stock.
For those three people, it is extremely detrimental to the future, and this must be resolved.
If they know the inside story. The best way, of course, is to praise Yu Qingyao, an outsider, and give her all the credit. Try to weaken the role of Huai Mengde in it. You might even describe Huai Mengde as a villain who took credit for Yu Qingyao's work.
Anyway, Yu Qingyao is an outsider, and it is impossible to compete for rewards and status within Pingtian Temple. This is called rather with friends than with opponents.
He said euphemistically: "Yu Qingyao is an outsider. It is our responsibility to repel the sea monster and guard Haijin. The rewards in the temple are not good for outsiders. Of course, she helps us do things, and some rewards are also needed. Mengde Just give her some rewards in private."
What he meant was to give the greatest credit to his son. Yu Qingyao is just an outsider, so it would be nice to express it a little bit.
Pingtian Temple relies on outsiders to repel the monsters and defend the city, which is detrimental to the prestige of Pingtian Temple.
Deacon Sun did not plan to mention Yu Qingyao when publicizing this matter.
Li Huaide and others understood what Deacon Sun meant in seconds. Tao Wenxiang and the others nodded silently, sympathizing with Yu Qingyao for three seconds.
Li Huaide was silent for a while, and said: "Yu Qingyao has a very high prestige in the city, completely erase her credit, people will gossip."
He used this excuse to fight for his junior sister again. He didn't want to take credit for his junior sister.
Deacon Sun said disapprovingly, "I'll handle this matter, and you can leave it alone."
From Deacon Sun's point of view, as long as you talk to that female casual cultivator, you will know the benefits, and then give some small compensation. What else can she do? How dare you? Be sensible, take the compensation and leave, and you can take care of her in the future. If he doesn't know how to kill someone, how about he never did it
He knew about Yu Qingyao's rumors before he came, but he didn't really take it to heart. Because, the rumors are all about how beautiful she is, and the scandals with Mr. Chu and Emperor Wu Guoxian.
From Deacon Sun's point of view, Yu Qingyao just got lucky and bought a powerful Flying Yasha. The mermaids are only numerous, and the generals of the mermaids are killed in one blow. I am afraid that they are just superficial and not very powerful.
No one told Deacon Sun about Yu Qingyao's horror. Otherwise, Deacon Sun would not despise Yu Qingyao so much, and would not have such thoughts.
