Chapter 52: Soft Buns and the Two-Faced Flying Horses
What is the biggest function of the Lishitang?
The most obvious effect is to promote the capable to higher positions and demote the mediocre to lower positions, thus promoting the healthy circulation of blood in the sect.

But Wang Dong had already started talking about this aspect, and any answer would surely be inferior.

There will be absolutely no problem if Huang Feng talks to the middle and lower level disciples, and it gives people a sense of fulfillment without being boastful, which is in line with his current personality.

He was the last person to answer, which had both good and bad aspects. The bad thing was that he probably wouldn't be able to come up with anything new because everyone else had already answered the question.

The good thing is that he can find a new way of thinking based on other people's ideas.

Thinking of this, Ye Yang spoke.

"What Senior Sister Huang and Junior Brother Wang said makes sense, but it's too micro or macro. I think the primary function of the Lishitang is loyalty."

"Be loyal to the sect, be loyal to the higher-ups, let the will of the higher-ups be extended, and let the interests of the lower-ups be fully met."

Ye Yang's answer was a bit tricky.

He combined the two people's opinions and put forward his own new ideas.

Especially the word "loyalty", which he said after a comprehensive analysis of Zhang Li's current situation.

In the Personnel Hall, apart from the third elder who also serves as the hall master, there are four deputy hall masters, and the competition is quite fierce.

Zhang Li's advantage is not obvious. His words emphasize the word "loyalty", which actually has a hidden meaning.

Ye Yang observed Zhang Li's face carefully. Zhang Li's face was as calm as water and could not be seen through by others.

But his right fingers were slightly bent and tapping his left leg with some excitement.

“There’s a chance!”

Ye Yang exclaimed secretly.

"The three of you go out first, Huang Feng stays."

Ye Yang and Wang Dong stood outside the door, leaving Huang Feng alone. No one knew what Zhang Li said to Huang Feng, and soon Huang Feng left.

Afterwards, Wang Dong walked into the hall, leaving Ye Yang alone.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Dong walked out and Ye Yang walked in.

……

Zhang Li was recuperating in the courtyard. Seeing Ye Yang, he smiled and said, "Of these three people, I want you to stay the most."

“The disciples are also willing to stay.”

"Don't worry, come find me tomorrow, but it's hard to say what the final result will be."

Ye Yang nodded in agreement, paused, and then Zhang Li spoke again.

"Do you know why I like you to stay?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Zhang Li stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked into the depths of the hall, where a long voice came from.

"Because you look exactly like me when I was young."

"This world is not simple. Too many people think it is too pure. And this is a fatal thing."

Ye Yang looked back and found that Zhang Li was no longer there and the hall was empty.

Only the lingering sound remains.

……

When he reached the door of his house, Ye Yang found a person standing at the door. Looking at him, Ye Yang couldn't help but say:
"Junior Brother Wang, why are you here?"

This person was none other than Wang Huan. Ye Yang met him in a tavern in Fengxue and rescued him from the Five Poison Sect.

However, later on, Wang Huangui became a disciple of Wang Sandao, the current deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall. He was very successful and many people tried to curry favor with him.

It has been less than half a year since I came to Feitianmen, but my face has become fatter and it seems that I have been attending many social events.

But at this moment, Wang Huan was a little depressed.

"Brother Ye, please stop teasing me. I was kicked out of the cave by my master and have nowhere to go. I heard that you have a house to rent, so I thought of coming to you for help."

"How could this be?" Ye Yang was surprised.

"Don't mention it, there are bad guys..."

Wang Huan immediately began to complain.

Ye Yang then realized that since Wang Huan came to Feitian Gate, he had been wooed by many people because he was the only disciple of the current deputy master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

In particular, the majority of people had something to ask of him and hoped that he could say a few words in front of Wang Sandao.

As more and more people tried to curry favor with him, Wang Huan felt a little proud. In addition, he had just arrived at Feitianmen and was eager to make friends and get more information. However, he never expected that those who came to him were all experienced and vicious people, and he ended up being tricked by others.

Many of Wang Sandao's secrets were inadvertently revealed by him.

When Wang Sandao found out, he was furious and expelled him from the mountain gate.

Wang Huan was extremely depressed.

"Brother, Master often told me that people should be good at dealing with people and be tactful. I followed his advice, made many friends and was good at dealing with people. Do you think I am wrong?"

"Junior brother, you are wrong. People of our background cannot be smooth with all sides, or else they will be soft-hearted. We need to be smooth with six sides and have two thorns."

Wang Huan stopped talking.

Ye Yang took Wang Huan to choose a room full of spiritual energy, and gave him a bucket of spiritual spring water and half a pound of scented tea, which moved him so much that he almost cried and thanked him repeatedly.

Looking at the spiritual stones sent by Wang Huan, Ye Yang's brows finally relaxed.

Now, he finally saw Hui Xiang, and the crisis of insufficient spirit stones in his hands was slightly alleviated.

……

Day two.

Ye Yang was practicing sword and knife skills in the back mountain.

Every time the sword was swung, scars were left on the cliffs.

Just at this time.

He suddenly heard some noise, and then there was a sound like thousands of troops moving together.

On the steep cliffs, there was a group of cloud-carrying horses with golden horns, white hooves and sparkling golden patterns.

It climbed over mountains and crossed ridges, flew low, entered and exited the clouds, and was now crashing wildly on the cliffs.

Ye Yang had clear eyes and saw that some horses in the herd had big bellies, as if they were pregnant with foals.

The Tuoyun horses of Feitianmen have been bred for many years. They are of similar bloodline and difficult to breed, so there are only eighteen of them.

A few days ago, the sect accidentally captured a small group of wild horses, and it seemed that the herd was integrated well.

It didn't take long before she became pregnant.

After playing with the herd of horses for a while, Ye Yang went to look for Zhang Li again.

This time the location was changed, not the hall, but a dark room.

The room was filled with files, sealed in blue covers, layer upon layer, and no one knew what was inside.

Zhang Li brought Ye Yang to a yellowed file, on which the words "sect monk" were written in large brush calligraphy.

"There are a total of 1,235 files in here, including 267 files for those above the eighth level of Deacon, and 968 files below the level of Deacon."

Ye Yang looked at it again and found that the file had been classified into two categories: family cultivators and sect cultivators.

Zhang Li had a purpose in mind. He opened the cabinet, took out a file and handed it to Ye Yang.

"Long Gang, the guardian of the business route, is at the fifth level of martial arts. He is considered one of the top guardians in the sect. Your mission this time is to secretly investigate him and send me the feedback results in a timely manner."

"Long Gang?" Ye Yang was surprised, as if he had thought of something.

"How come you know him?"

There was a hint of scrutiny in Zhang Li's eyes.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him."

Ye Yang recalled that when he was collecting wild flowers and practicing the Withering and Flourishing Hand in Jasmine Mountain, he seemed to have been shot by an arrow. He heard vaguely that the man's father seemed to be the sect's guardian Long Gang.

"Then what should I do?"

"If you blow this whistle, a pigeon will send a message."

Zhang Li handed Ye Yang a bone whistle.

Ye Yang knew that this flying pigeon was specially cultivated by the sect. It was very fast and had strong stomach acid in its stomach. If it was in danger, it could swallow paper to commit suicide and destroy the words, so it was extremely confidential.

Zhang Li handed Long Gang's file to Ye Yang, who slowly opened it.

This file was formed a long time ago. It is dark yellow and withered, with wrinkles showing. It is obvious that it has gone through many years of baptism.

Ye Yang opened it carefully, and there were two big words in the middle.
