Chapter 182 Yin Song
Pan Yun returned with a box of banknotes and a sword case, with an unconcealable smile on her face, letting everyone who saw her know that good things were going to happen to her.

Seeing her smile so brightly, Xue Hua couldn't help but ask, "Why is Junior Sister Pan so happy?"

She still understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth. Pan Jun smiled and said, "The weather is so nice. I am very happy just walking on the road."

Xue Hua silently looked up at the gloomy sky. After a moment of silence, he said, "So... is the weather good?"

Pan Jun also looked up at the sky and insisted, "How wonderful! Not too hot or too cold, with a cool breeze. It's really great weather to go out."

Xue Hua: "Junior sister, your preferences are really unique. Well, whatever you say is right, then it is right."

Pan Jun did not touch the money in the box. Instead, he opened the sword case, took out the sword and looked at it carefully.

She used her finger strength to lightly tap it, and the sound was clear and long, which was intoxicating just by listening to it.

Pan Yun kissed the hilt heavily, closed the sword, and rolled over on the bed twice while holding it.

She has a sword, and it is such a powerful and good sword.

Pan Yun knew that a sword needed to be maintained.

It's not a good thing that her sword is so sharp. She needs to keep it sharp but not exposed.

Pan Yun immediately put away the sword treasure and went to write a letter to Wang Feiyin.

In her previous life, she could fly, but she basically didn't use a sword. After all, flying a sword has no other advantages except being cool.

She would never admit that she had no money and could not afford a good sword.

Anyway, she had no experience in sword maintenance, so she wanted to ask Wang Feiyin.

This sword is her natal sword, so naturally she has to ask someone she trusts for advice.

But she knew that some methods of sword care would cause the sword to become evil, and the sword owner would also become evil.

Pan Yun wrote a letter to Wang Feiyin very seriously, then opened the money box, carefully counted the silver bills inside, and wrote down the amount of money in the box for him so that he would have an idea when he received the money.

Pan Yun: "Big Brother, we have made a fortune in Sanqing Mountain. Third Brother and Fourth Sister can go back to the mountain. I feel that the medicine we sell to Zhang Liuzhen is enough to support the entire Sanqing Mountain."

She shook her head and wrote, "I don't know whether this is a misfortune for the Zhang family of Tianshi Mansion or for our Sanqing Mountain. The medicine taken by one person in their family can actually feed our entire mountain."

"Call back Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister. One of them has a mouth like that, and the other has a face like that. It's really too hard and unfair for them to go out and earn money to support the family."

Pan Yun was full of confidence at this time, and wrote directly: "Not only the third and fourth senior sisters, but also the eldest nephew should not work too hard. He is so young, and the burden of supporting the family cannot be placed on him..."

Pan Yun wrote a lot as an elder, and finally remembered to ask, "Did Master's nephew pass the first round of the test for the certificate of ordination?"

Wang Feiyin, who received the letter, didn't let go of his anger until he saw the last line. "This kid finally remembered to ask. I thought she had completely forgotten it."

Yin Song said, "Didn't you, Senior Brother, forget everything? If I hadn't come back, would you have forgotten to ask about Cong'er's grades?"

"Oh my, I trust him. I know he will pass the exam," Wang Feiyin didn't want to admit it, and said, "Besides, I've been really busy lately. I just prepared a new medicine for Zhang Liuzhen, and then there was news about your junior sister encountering a Yuan-sucking worm in Longhu Mountain. I'm old, and my energy is limited. It's easy to take care of the beginning and not the end."

Yin Song: "Fortunately, Cong'er has always been cheerful and generous. If it were another child, I don't know how angry, awkward and resentful he would have become."

Wang Feiyin touched his nose.

Seeing that he was acting like a child, Yin Song shook his head again, "Forget it, forget it. If it weren't for your personality, you wouldn't be able to raise a child like Cong'er."

Moreover, they are the least qualified people to comment on the relationship between Wang Feiyin and his son Wang Cong.

Yin Song and Tao Ji were only a few years older than Wang Cong, and were also raised by Wang Feiyin. When Wang Cong was still young, Wang Feiyin focused most of his energy on them.
Later, when they grew up and improved their cultivation, they had a promising future. However, the fourth sister was seriously injured and taken back to Sanqing Mountain.

The eldest brother's energy was divided onto the fourth sister.

In the past two years, the fourth junior sister's injuries have healed, her cultivation has recovered, and even the causes of her mental illness have been mostly driven away. Just when Wang Cong was about to take the ordination exam and thought that the eldest senior brother could focus all his energy on him in the next two years, another little junior sister appeared in Sanqing Mountain.

Yin Song had never met this little junior sister, but he had heard news about her a lot. Every time the eldest senior brother, the third junior brother, and Miaozhen and the younger ones wrote to her, they would always mention her.

He also looked into Pan Hong's case in detail, and to be honest, it was quite tragic.

Because Pan Hong was the most innocent one, but he suffered the most sacrifices.

So Yin Song felt a bit of pity for this junior sister whom he had never met before.

But besides feeling pity for her, he was also a little angry, thinking that she had distracted too much of his attention, causing him to have no time to take care of Wang Cong.

The reason why Yin Song rushed back at this time was because of Wang Cong's exam.

Wang Cong had passed the examination in Guangxin Prefecture and obtained the qualification to go to the capital for examination. Next, it was the examination of the Daoluosi in the capital, and as long as he passed, he would be granted the certificate of ordination.

Yin Song said: "This year, the court plans to approve no more than 20 Taoist monks, and they will be divided in half. The Taoist Records Department only has 10 vacancies."

Wang Feiyin was surprised. "So few? Why take the exam? The list will be filled up by the connections of each family."

Yin Song nodded, "I asked around, and eight spots have been confirmed, and now there are two spots left, and there are people competing for them."

Wang Feiyin's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. He slammed the table. The banknotes in the box didn't make him happy at all. "Are they planning to leave none of them outside?"

"At least one should be kept. The Daolu Division is also afraid that things will get out of hand and it will not look good," Yin Song said. "I am still trying to get the remaining two places before I come back. I hope to leave them to outsiders. In this way, not only will Wang Cong have a better chance, but it will also give more opportunities to outside Taoists."

"Does Master Zhang know about this?"

Yin Song sighed.

Wang Feiyin sneered.

Yin Song said: "Big Brother also knows that he cannot make the decision."

Wang Feiyin: "If he can't make the decision, then you can't make the decision either. What's the point of you coming back? When Cong'er sees you, his confidence will increase, and then he will win the championship in one fell swoop, forcing them to choose Cong'er?"

Yin Song said with a smile: "How can I have that ability? Senior Brother, please stop being so sarcastic to me."

He said, "I came back to tell Cong'er that the number of people admitted this time was determined by the emperor. According to custom, the emperor will personally select the Taoists who have taken the exam."

Yin Song paused and said, "The emperor attaches great importance to the battle of Luchuan. Now many ministers in the court are against continuing the battle of Luchuan. The emperor is silent. On the surface, he seems to be willing to give in, but in fact, he is very persistent. I think the emperor will not stop the war unless Luchuan is taken."

Wang Feiyin was not a fool. Yin Song suddenly mentioned the affairs of state and figured out the emperor so clearly. Of course he understood what he meant.

"Do you want Cong'er to take a risk and use physiognomy to support the emperor's Luchuan battle?"

Yin Song said: "Big Brother, I have calculated that the result of the Luchuan battle is good, and the hexagram also shows that it is a considerable achievement and merit."

"If Cong'er could stand on the emperor's side when everyone was against the Luchuan War, he would definitely be able to get a certificate of ordination and even join the Daolusi," Yin Song said. "He wouldn't have to worry about those civil and military officials scolding him. When the court wins in the end, everyone will know how powerful he is."

Wang Feiyin: "Is it his strength or your strength?"

Yin Song: "This is not a test question. I just want Cong'er to hint at it when he meets the emperor. It doesn't count as cheating."

Wang Feiyin snorted, frowning, "I am not as good as you in astronomy, divination and face reading. Are you sure that the battle of Luchuan is a win?"

Yin Song answered affirmatively: "Yes!"

Wang Feiyin frowned, "But I heard that at the end of the year, the court deployed a large number of troops in Luchuan, but it was only a tragic victory. The war was lost, and the emperor was in a bad mood."

Yin Song: "The emperor has decided to send more troops to Luchuan, and food, fodder, and armaments are already being prepared quietly."

Wang Feiyin was silent for a while, still feeling uneasy. He shook his head and said, "No, don't tell Cong'er about this. Let him take the exam with peace of mind. You are not allowed to interfere."

"Elder brother..."

Wang Feiyin raised his hand and said, "No need to say more. I am not as good as you in fortune-telling and face reading, but my sixth sense is far better than yours. This matter gives me a very bad feeling. If Cong'er does this, even if Luchuan wins a great victory, he may not be able to clear his name as a traitor. Moreover, the consequences of this matter are too great, I cannot let him participate."

Yin Song slapped his forehead and said, "I don't think the Luchuan victory was fake. I calculated it several times and the result was always the same. But I forgot the cause and effect of this matter."

Regardless of winning or losing, if the emperor insists on going to war against Luchuan because of Wang Cong's remarks, part of the consequences will fall on Wang Cong.

The cause and effect of war is not a good thing. Regardless of winning or losing, right or wrong, the cause and effect are heavy.

"Are we just going to let it go like this? Although I believe in Cong'er's ability, but he is the best in the world, I..."

“You have no confidence.”

Yin Song nodded heavily.

"If Junior Sister were here, she would be very confident and would give Cong'er unlimited confidence. I will write a letter to Junior Sister, telling her that Cong'er is going to the capital to take the exam, and ask her to write a letter to Cong'er to encourage him."

Yin Song: "...Just encouragement?"

Wang Feiyin glanced at him and said, "You are a Taoist student, don't you know how much influence self-confidence has on a person? For Cong'er, encouragement is enough."

Yin Song paused and said, "Big Brother, I want to see Little Sister."

"Then go and meet him. The two places are not far from each other. It's just right. When you get there, you can find Master Zhang and ask him if Master Zhang really has only a human shell after becoming Master Zhang."
