On this day, when Fang Ning was observing the current situation and the system master was controlling the body of Knight A to continue spawning monsters and opening the map, Zheng Dao's QQ message rang again.
Zheng Dao: "Your Majesty, the Truth Office is doing its year-end review and is sending condolences to the cooperative units that have performed well. Please visit us to meet with our two sages."
Fang Ning was about to refuse casually. The system uncle was so busy right now, how could he have time to talk to them
But Fang Ning thought for a while and agreed. There was no other reason. The prisoners of "Dragon Power Divine Prison" would need to change their skins before they could join "Craft of Beasts" to earn gold. There would definitely be a lot of trouble by then. Where the truth is told.
Two days later, Knight A returned to the farm villa in Qicheng and received two condolences from the Truth Office in the plainly decorated living room.
There is a man and a woman. The woman is good-looking and not pretty. She is in her 20s and looks young and attractive. The man is in his 40s and looks calm and honest.
After Zheng Dao made the best Longjing tea and served it, he stood aside and waited for instructions.
Fang Ning invited the two of them to drink tea, but they declined. After taking a few sips, they explained their intention.
Middle-aged man: "Master Shenlong, we are from the outreach team of the Truth Office. My name is Xie Dong and her name is Liu Qing. I am here this time to thank you both for your contribution to stabilizing social order in the past year." This is a consolation payment for your outstanding contribution, it is not a large amount, it just represents a little bit of your heart.”
Xie Dong said and put a red envelope on the coffee table. As soon as he put it on, it flew towards Knight A with a "whoosh".
When Liu Qing saw this, he remembered something. This colleague said that when he went to Venerable Shenlong, he didn't need to bring any other condolences, but it was best to bring money, so that it would be much more convenient to talk.
Fang Ning: "You two are welcome, drink more tea. If nothing happens, I am going to retreat to practice. I will ask Butler Zheng to chat with you two."
Xie Dong then winked at Liu Qing, who hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really diligent. We also want to ask, the new year is coming soon. Does your Majesty have any new goals?"
Fang Ning's heart moved, what do these two people mean
He immediately said to the system: "When you go out and speak, say that your goal for the coming year is still to practice martial arts as usual and be a hero."
The system managed to return to the body of Knight A: "There is no new goal. There are only four words in my dictionary: 'Practice to eliminate evil'."
Xie Dong glanced at Liu Qing again, and the other party quickly said: "Your Majesty has a pure ambition, and we admire him very much. We will not waste your time for cultivation, as long as Mr. Zheng is with us."
Knight A was naturally not polite and left the living room directly, leaving Butler Zheng to talk to the two of them.
After going out, the system asked Fang Ning: "Why did you bother to ask me to come out and answer?"
Fang Ning: "It's nothing, I just think you are sincere and trustworthy, which can make these guys feel at ease."
System: "That is, unlike you, I have always been an honest system."
After sitting and chatting with Butler Zheng for a long time, Xie Dong and Liu Qing walked out of Knight A's farm villa, got into a black car, drove a certain distance, and then used the vehicle-mounted device to secretly report to the top.
"The ambition of Knight A has not changed. His goal for the coming year will still be to practice martial arts and act chivalrously. After my ability appraisal, I found that what he said is completely true. It is recommended that the potential threat level not be changed..."
… …
One day later, at the Purple Mountain Temple in the north, the man and woman continued to visit the temple owner, Ma Futian.
Guanzhu Ma: "Haha, in the coming year our Zishan Temple will open its gates and select outstanding disciples from all over China to show off its ambitions. Of course, I would like to ask your truth clarification office to accommodate this matter..."
Xie Dong came out to report: "The ambitions of Zishan Temple have increased. After identification, some of them are true and some are concealed. It is recommended to increase the potential threat level..."
Then the two of them rushed to the Southern Ghost King Assembly, but they did not see the leader of the assembly, the Ghost King Bodhisattva, and only saw the deputy leader, the Ghost King.
Ghost King: "Our Ghost King Association has always taken the responsibility of protecting the environment and the people, and there will be no big moves next year."
Xie Dong came out to report: "The Ghost King Society will definitely have an unknown big move next year. It is recommended to be on high alert."
The two asked each other about the past in each cooperative unit. They were not polite and didn't talk much. They got straight to the point and just asked "new goals for next year"
Naturally, those old fritters would not answer seriously, and would just say "haha" to fool them.
Xie Dong didn't take it seriously. He just talked to them and then determined the content of the report based on the truth and falsehood of the other party's words.
After a full circle, it was already two weeks later. The two of them had already searched for dozens of cultivators from all over China, and then reported the contents of their search.
When Ren Ruofeng, the leader of the think tank group, saw the report, he just said lightly: "It seems that in the past six months of hibernation, many people's strength has increased a lot, and their minds have wandered. They want to get that thing out quickly so that they can have a way to exert their energy. place to avoid being taken advantage of by outsiders.”
As soon as he said these words, a storm erupted.
… …
After the two left, Knight A did not continue to open the map. Instead, he practiced at home and converted the experience points gained into combat effectiveness.
On this day, another uninvited guest came to the house.
This man is an old man with a dignified appearance, dressed in a traditional Chinese robe. Although he is old, his eyes are still sharp.
After meeting this person, Fang Ning almost thought that this person had traveled from ancient times. When the other person spoke, he felt that he must be right.
"I, Huang Rui, came to my door in a hurry and uninvited. I hope you can atone for your sins." The person came straight to the point, bowed and apologized.
Fang Ning knew that the end of the year was coming, and there would be a lot of chores to do, so he received it patiently. After Butler Zheng served tea to the two of them, he still stood aside.
Fang Ning raised his hand slightly: "I wonder, sir, what advice can you give me here?"
Huang Rui: "The heroes are heroes all over the world, bringing peace and stability to the world, and are respected by everyone. But do you know how old Han Xin and Li Shan are?"
Fang Ning was drinking tea when he heard the words and almost spit out: This person really traveled back in time from ancient times. I just don't know if he came from the Three Kingdoms or the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? He was most familiar with those two historical periods and knew that there were many different talents at that time.
So he also put on his airs and said seriously: "I've heard a little bit about it, but I wonder what your purpose is in mentioning these two sages?"
Huang Rui looked serious: "Your Excellency is in danger, but you don't know it? Although I am a humble citizen, I also know the kindness and righteousness. I can't bear the misfortunes of my predecessors in the future, so I came here to remind you."
Fang Ning looked puzzled: "I have rescued too many people on weekdays. I still don't know who the old gentleman is?"
Huang Rui: "My family has quite a lot of assets in Jicheng, and was once coveted by a sneaky person. Thanks to you, when you were a knight, you got rid of that person, and the danger was saved. I often think about repayment, but it is a pity that I only have some ordinary people. I think your Excellency won't put your property in your eyes. I've thought about it for a long time, but there's nothing I can repay, and I've been feeling uneasy."
Fang Ning: No, there is a guy that I really care about. Fortunately, he is busy, so there is no need to worry that he will come out and ask for it blatantly, ruining the way I am imitating the ancients at this time.
Huang Rui continued: "Fortunately, I have read a lot of history books in the past and asked myself how much knowledge I still have. Recently, I have paid special attention to your behavior. Only then did I discover a big hidden danger. If things go on like this, you will be in great trouble in the future. Only then I take the liberty to come here to remind you.”
Fang Ning: "What kind of trouble is it? I hope the old gentleman will explain it clearly."
Huang Rui said sternly: "Of course, when the birds are gone, the rabbits will be cooked. The current situation is still unclear, and your efforts are still needed. No one will care about it. It's just that when you are currently doing chivalry, you have repeatedly killed the villains directly. This This is an act that exceeds authority. I'm afraid that after the situation is stabilized in the future, some villains will cause trouble and embarrass the heroes with this matter."
When Fang Ning heard this, he called the system out again and answered according to his wishes last time.
System: "I only know how to practice martial arts to eliminate evil. I have always had a clear conscience and don't need to worry about it."
Huang Rui looked extremely disappointed and said immediately: "Well, since you didn't listen to my advice, I just hope you won't regret it in the future..."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
System: "Wait."
Huang Rui looked happy and turned around immediately: "Your Excellency, do you want to hear my explanation on how to solve this catastrophe?"
System: "You don't need to worry about that. I just heard you say, 'If you don't repay me, you will always feel uneasy.' If you want to feel at ease, it's very simple. Just donate a sum of money to me."
Huang Rui was speechless and said after a long time: "In this case, I will dedicate half of my family property to you as a token of repayment."
System: "Well, you are very good. If anything sneaky comes to disturb you in the future, you can contact Butler Zheng directly."
Huang Ruiqiang made a happy gesture: "Thank you very much for your kindness. I will take my leave."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left this time, fearing that he would be stopped by Knight A again and the remaining half of his family property would also be taken into account.
Fang Ning was speechless and said to the system, "I only asked you to say one thing. Why did you say the rest?"
System: "I heard someone wanted to send me money, so of course I have to keep saying it. You can't save face by asking for it, but I can't let my money go away... Knight A is not the host. Your true identity is not lost. Don't lose face." Sorry, if you have money, you have to take it. All your plans are brilliant, but which one doesn’t require a large investment?”
Fang Ning: "I finally had the opportunity to imitate the ancient masters and wanted to show off, but you ruined it this time."
System: "Then try to decorate less next time. I almost lost all my money..."
… …
After Huang Rui left Knight A's farm villa, he also got into a car and drove away.
After driving far away, he dialed an overseas phone number and said respectfully: "Sir Tom, a knight has no ambitions and only wants to practice martial arts to eliminate evil. No wonder those who want to find out the truth will be so relieved of him and think of him first. It seems impossible to support him to become a new hero and fight with the truth bureau and others."
Black Cat Tom: "If that's the case, then he has no strategic value. Then find a way to kill him and avenge Anderson and the others. Maggie and Anderson have personal grudges and they don't want to take care of it. I, Tom, can't let the brothers in the guild feel cold."
Huang Rui: "My lord is wise, I will come up with a perfect solution, but now there is a small problem."
Black Cat Tom: "What's the matter?"
Huang Rui quickly said that he had just shot himself in the foot and said that he would give half of the family property to Knight A.
Those family properties are the property of the association, and he cannot use them casually. He is not qualified to use them without the permission of Mr. Black Cat Tom.
Black Cat Tom: "Idiot, you actually made such a mistake. Don't you know that Knight A is greedy for money?"
Huang Rui looked horrified: "I'm sorry, sir, I thought he would be moved by my words. Is he really a fool? Who doesn't know that the truth-clarification agency can't let civilians like them continue to practice indefinitely."
Black Cat Tom: "Humph, maybe he still thinks that he can cultivate to the point where no one can do anything to him. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that in every period of time in this world, there will be a cultivation limit. Only Yuan... Oh, you don't have to do this. I know. Your identity is very important. Don’t make Knight A suspicious. I give you permission to use half of your family property.”
