System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

"He Shiqin, 17 years old, is a disciple of Class A of the outer sect of the Tianguan Sect. Since entering Tianguan Sect, this disciple's performance has been mediocre and his assessment results have been relatively good. He has been in the Tianguan Sect for three years and has had no bad performance in Class V of the outer sect in the first and second years. He has made rapid progress in the past year and was promoted to Class A of the outer sect." Shopkeeper He read the message on the letter to everyone.

He Shiqin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was nothing special. I guess Tianguan Sect didn't notice his "little move" either.

"Shiqin," Shopkeeper He still showed no expression, "please tell me, how did you get promoted from Class E to Class A in just one year? Don't tell me that you are gifted? Did you get the opportunity? God. What opportunities can the outer disciples of Guanzong have?"

He Shiqin was relieved again. Why didn't he think of this? When my father said to me before, "Haste makes waste," was this what he was referring to?

Just as He Shiqin was lowering his head and thinking about how to explain it, shopkeeper He spoke again: "Shiqin, have you learned how to give bribes? If you want to take over Deji Hall this time, you may not want to take Deji Hall. Make a living, or give Deji Hall to others? Use the Deji Hall that your father and ancestor worked so hard to pave the way for your brilliant life?"

He Shiqin knelt down with a pop. He didn't. He had never had such an idea, but dad...how could dad guess what he had planned?

"Dad, I didn't...I, I worked my way up." He Shiqin was still defending.

"Shiqin, are you still lying now? If you tell dad the truth, what will dad do to you?" Shopkeeper He was really angry and threw Guanzong's letter that day in front of He Shiqin.

He Shiqin looked at the letter and remained silent.

In the end, it was Mrs. Wang who broke the deadlock first: "Husband, calm down, Shiqin is still young, and Shiqin said that he has not done those things. How about we believe him? Let's listen to what Shiqin said. Maybe he is really in trouble." What opportunity has come up?"

Shopkeeper He looked at He Shiqin and asked, "Shiqin, tell me, did you encounter any opportunity?"

"No." He Shiqin knelt on the ground and shook his head.

"Then tell me, how did you get promoted from Class V in just one year? Is it through your own efforts?" Shopkeeper He said with a smile.

"No," He Shiqin said with difficulty after a long time, "just like what my father said, I was promoted to Class A through management."

Except for shopkeeper He and He Shiqin, the other four people present were shocked.

Just... just admit it? Shen Xia thought to herself, weren't you being tough just now? Why did your attitude change so quickly? Could it be that there was something else written on that piece of paper? Shen Xia glanced at the letter paper, but He Shiqin's figure couldn't block most of it, and Shen Xia couldn't read the words clearly.

When he raised his head, his eyes met with those of the other three people. Come on, everyone is curious.

"This is the end of the matter," He Shiqin said embarrassedly, "I will let my father handle it."

"Disposal, ha," Shopkeeper He sneered, "You are my good son, what should I do with you?"

The venue fell into a weird atmosphere again.

"Madam, tell me, what should I do?" Shopkeeper He began to call everyone by name again.

"Husband, Shiqin is still young. In my opinion, it's better to forget it this time... as long as it doesn't happen like this in the future." Mrs. Wang doesn't like He Shiqin, and she won't look good on anyone who likes him. , and you said that your little family is so angry with your stepson?

But Mrs. Wang is not stupid. Her previous instigation was just because she couldn't bear to see Shopkeeper He doting on He Shiqin so much. She still knows how to speak in such a big matter now.

Shopkeeper He was silent. After taking a sip of tea, he asked Zhang Yan'an: "Yan'an, what do you think?"

"Senior brother, I have watched Shiqin grow up. His nature is good, but now he has realized his mistakes. Who can make mistakes without being a sage?" Zhang Yanan couldn't bear to let He Shiqin be punished.

To take a step back, even if He Shiqin was punished, what punishment could the shopkeeper give him? He Shiqin lived with his mother and had no family tradition to speak of. Even if Shopkeeper He and He Shiqin severed the father-son relationship, it was Shopkeeper He who was heartbroken in the end.

Therefore, Shopkeeper He's headache is this: how to deal with He Shiqin?

"Shiqin, you tell yourself how I should deal with you." Shopkeeper He rubbed his aching temples.

"Shiqin doesn't know, let my father handle it." He Shiqin was still kneeling on the ground, looking down at the letter.

Shen Xia paid attention to the system that had been silent for a long time, and knew that the truth behind He Shiqin's return to the medical clinic that the system required to reveal was definitely not the case.

Seeing that there was no progress on the field, Shen Xia knew that it was her turn to play. This was the time to gain favor!

"Shopkeeper He," Shen Xia stood up and took a step forward, "Chen Xia dared to say a few words."

It's over, it's over, Shen Xia is really crazy. Seeing Shen Xia step forward, Renda had only one thought in his mind. This is not the time for people like us to speak. Hey, Shen Xia, come down quickly!

The expressions of the other people were different. Zhang Yanan was worried about what Shen Xia would say later to anger his senior brother, while Mrs. Wang was guessing when Shen Xia and He Shiqin had reached an alliance. It was clear that the two were not happy at the well that day. And scattered.

Shopkeeper He looked at Shen Xia, and after a while he said, "Shen Xia, tell me."

Shen Xia looked at He Shiqin, who was kneeling down. From this angle, he still couldn't see clearly what was written on the letter.

"Shopkeeper He, I think Shiqin is not wrong." As soon as Shen Xia opened her mouth, everyone was shocked, including He Shiqin, who raised their heads and looked at Shen Xia in confusion.

Shen Xia tried hard to digest the information she learned, and organized her words: "Maybe He Shiqin is not as wrong as everyone thinks. He just said that the reason why he wants to take over Deji Hall is to make you, shopkeeper He, proud of him. .”

"Yes, he also admitted that he had some bad behavior, but let me ask, why does he want to climb up in Tianguan Sect? Shopkeeper He, do you think he does it for himself? I don't think so, I think he is nothing more than I just want you, his mother, to feel proud that your son has such a promising future."

Shopkeeper He was a little moved. He looked at He Shiqin without saying a word.

Seeing this, Shen Xia continued: "As Mrs. Wang said, He Shiqin is only 17 years old. I don't know how old he was when he left home, but he must have never felt the warmth of home when he was very young. Maybe He Shiqin's mother is I gave him a superior life and even found the skills to practice, but there is always someone missing in the family, so there is always regret in such a childhood, isn't it?"

"Chen Xia... don't say anything anymore." He Shiqin, who was beside Shen Xia, interrupted.

"Father, don't worry about anything else. It was my fault after all. If you can't be cruel, just follow the family rules of your childhood." He Shiqin raised his head and looked at Shopkeeper He with red eyes.

"That's fine. Then Shiqin, go into the ancestral hall and face the wall to think about your fault." Shopkeeper He seemed to be tired, and he waved his hand and "hastily" decided He Shiqin's punishment.

"Yes." He Shiqin responded, picked up the letter, stood up, and turned around to go to the ancestral hall.

Shen Xia also saw the content on the letter paper that Shopkeeper He did not read: "After reporting, there are doubts in the promotion process. It is suspected that property was used to bribe the assessors. We are currently under observation."
