Chapter 1152: Chapter 50 Marshal Meng Joins the Army 6 [Wishing Everyone Happiness]_4 Chapter 1152: Chapter 50 Marshal Meng Joins the Army 6 [Wishing Everyone Happiness]_4 Shi Hongzhen apologized with a smile, “Yes, yes.”

Official Shi, also being a perceptive person, felt that he understood the situation fairly well. However, before presenting today’s entire matter to His Majesty the Emperor, he still inquired further, “If General Meng’s constitution is so unique, then in terms of longevity, wouldn’t he…”

Qing Ming Grand Master frowned, “His lifespan… should be that of a normal person, which is not to exceed a hundred years before passing away peacefully. Of course, if he were to be injured and his vital energy diminishing… there is still the possibility of it happening sooner, um, much sooner.”

Shi Hongzhen said worriedly, “General Meng has fought in countless battles, and his body is already covered in innumerable scars.”

Qing Ming Grand Master stated, “I too have experienced the battlefield’s slaughters, where one can’t be careful in all aspects. For a general like him who steadily progresses and gets promoted by accumulating merits, being battle-worn is the norm, and scars upon scars are nothing unusual.”

Shi Hongzhen responded, “If that’s the case, this old servant must now return to report to His Majesty. Does the venerable ancestor have any message for this servant to convey?”

“You go ahead, let this young man stay with me a little longer. As for the Emperor… just tell him not to overthink things that don’t exist.”

“Yes, yes.”

Shi Hongzhen bowed, “This old servant takes his leave.”

“Wait.”

Qing Ming Grand Master pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, “Inform His Majesty the Emperor that this young man can be employed with confidence.”

Shi Hongzhen seemed to be momentarily stunned before coming to his senses, “Yes.”

…

Shi Hongzhen left.

Qing Ming Grand Master still sat in his chair, frowning. But when he looked at Meng Fang, although there was still confusion, there was also more certainty.

“What exactly is going on here?”

Qing Ming Grand Master murmured to himself, “Logically speaking, it should be clear that the True Spirit is unobscured. Could it be that he actually isn’t?”

“But if that’s the case, how should this situation be explained?”

“This is in contradiction to the fundamental principles of cultivating the Great Dao; it’s utterly nonsensical!”

Qing Ming Grand Master thought for a long time but still could not make up his mind or come to a conclusion.

“This young fellow Meng Fang, being stuck at the Innate level, is inevitable, and this body has suffered too much damage, surely his lifespan will be greatly reduced. However, if I were to adjust it for him; letting him enjoy the lifespan of a normal person, living to ninety or a hundred years old, would still not be a difficult problem.”

“But what if it really is him?”

“After I help him adjust, would I inadvertently be disrupting his own arrangements?”

Qing Ming Grand Master scratched his scalp. In his long life, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

After much hesitation, he finally decided to let go.

“Just let it be natural. Since it is a body abandoned by heaven, it might truly be a chance occurrence. I might as well pretend I have seen nothing.”

…

Meng Fang slowly woke up to find Qing Ming Grand Master sitting in front of him, looking at him with a complex gaze.

“Grand Master, forgive me, I inadvertently fell asleep.”

“It’s fine.”

Qing Ming Grand Master kindly smiled, “General Meng has devoted himself to the service of Great Qin, having encountered life and death situations. A little fatigue is hardly a crime.”

“Grand Master, please command me directly for any matter. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave.”

“Not so fast.”

Qing Ming Grand Master kindly said, “If General Meng has no urgent matters, why not accompany an old man for tea? Let’s chat.”

Qing Ming Grand Master spoke cordially, full of kindness, but in the entire Great Qin Empire, from the Qin Emperor downward, who could dare to leave after receiving an invitation from him…

That day, Meng Fang drank tea with Qing Ming Grand Master for a whole two hours, drinking until his belly swelled and his face showed a bitter expression, before he was allowed to return home.

Meng Fang still had countless questions troubling him.

Why did Bu Changkong initially show respect and enthusiasm towards me, only to suddenly become cold?

And Qing Ming Grand Master initially didn’t seem to care about me, but later showed unusual enthusiasm?

Both attitudes were quite clear.

Meng Fang felt it particularly vividly.

What’s more, Qing Ming Grand Master even called over a maiden in green to accompany him later, and formally introduced her as Green Wolf Grand Master.

Had he not made the introduction, it would have been fine, but introducing her was such a shock to Meng Fang.

Even if it was the Green Wolf Grand Master from the legends, it was still a wolf!

Moreover, it was a female wolf that had transformed into a human form, what common folks would call a monster!

Even knowing that this she-wolf would not harm me, let alone eat me, as a rustic villager, it was still very frightening!

Fortunately, this female wolf transformed into a beautiful woman in green and was also very enthusiastic toward me, making me feel the warmth like that of a spring breeze, and I wasn’t so scared anymore.

However, this situation made Meng Fang even more surprised.

What is going on here? Why are they looking at me with such different eyes? Isn’t that overestimating me?!

And what Meng Fang couldn’t imagine whatsoever was that, before parting, Qing Ming Grand Master specially invited, “General Meng, if you have free time in the future, feel free to come and have tea with this old man. Whenever you come, I will have time.”

To this, Meng Fang naturally took it as a mere courtesy.

Anytime is fine?

What was he thinking?

Taking those words seriously would be the real foolishness.

Who is this person opposite me? He is the true pillar of Qin country, a totem-like figure!

No, he is the totem of the Qin country, unarguably so!

Me, a mere soldier, a true country bumpkin, visiting him for tea anytime?
