The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 71 On Merit (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly recommendation)
Su Mu was slightly stunned, then he reacted and smiled silently.

He picked up the police uniform he had just thrown away from the ground and put it on again.

Fortunately, I took off the clothes just now, otherwise if I didn’t want to run naked now, I would have to strip the dead person’s clothes and put them on.

"All right."

After putting on the police uniform, Su Mu said, "Miss Luo, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

Luo An Ning turned around, walked slowly to Su Mu, and suddenly reached out and poked his arm.

When Su Mu wanted to dodge, Luo An Ning's slender fingers had already landed on his forearm, poked it lightly and then retracted it.

"Skin Tempering Extreme?"

She showed surprise on her face, "No wonder you can become a white-robed official of the Taiping Division even though you are so weak, so that's why."

Su Mu: "..."

Are you praising me or insulting me?
"How old are you?"

she asked suddenly.

"Seventeen, almost eighteen."

Su Mu answered casually.

"I'm twenty-five."

A muffled voice came from the side.

Wei Yongfu came to Su Mu with regret on his face.

It would be strange if he was happy when hundreds of taels of silver flew away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't ask you."

Luo Anning said to Wei Yongfu politely, then turned to look at Su Mu, "I am nineteen, and I have completed the bone tempering."

I didn't ask you either.

Are you showing off to me?
"Miss Luo is amazing. I am ashamed to be inferior to her."

Su Mu responded perfunctorily.

"When I was your age, I had already perfected my muscles."

Luo Anning said seriously.

Wei Yongfu drew circles even faster.

Su Mu was a little speechless. Even if you are so capable, there is no need to show off like that. Don’t you know that things may change over time?

“Although you were hired as a white-robed official by the Taiping Division as an exception, it is very difficult to cultivate to the fourth level of body tempering within two years.

It took me thirteen months to go from perfect tendon tempering to great bone tempering. This speed ranks among the top three in Wuling City's history."

A hint of pride appeared on Luo Anning's little face.

Su Mu seemed to understand what Luo An Ning wanted to say. She didn't just want to show off her talent.

“You can cultivate the skin tempering to the extreme, which is enough to prove your talent. But even so, if you can’t cultivate the bone tempering to perfection before the age of 20, you will be stripped of your status as a Taiping Division white-clothed official.

And once you are over 20 years old, the chances of successful blood transfusion will be greatly reduced."

Luo Anning continued, "You need help."

"you can help me?"

Su Mu said.

The process of tempering the body is actually a process of spending money. After spending thousands of taels of silver, even people with average talent can succeed in tempering their bodies.

It’s just that ordinary small families can’t come up with so much money.

Like Wei Yongfu, running around all day to pay for body tempering actually greatly slowed down his cultivation speed.

If a warrior wants to improve his speed in body tempering, strong financial support is essential.

This is obviously what Luo Anning meant.

Su Mu's heart moved slightly. His surname was Luo. Among the four major families in the inner city, there was the Luo family. The lord of Wuling City also had the surname Luo.

"can."

Luo Anning nodded affirmatively.

Su Mu hesitated. There might be pie in the sky, but it would never fall on his head. A person with a good background, good talent and good figure suddenly said she wanted to help him. Was it just because she had just caught a glimpse of her capital?
"I can give you the body-tempering technique, and I can also give you the resources you need to temper your body."

Luo Anning said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Wei Yongfu, who was squatting in the corner drawing circles, raised his head and his eyes widened.

How come I have never encountered such a good thing?
Give the skills and also give the money?
Does being good-looking mean you can do whatever you want?
The guy named Su is just a little younger than me, a little more talented, and a little more handsome, so what else does he have?

Wei Yongfu was secretly dissatisfied.

"clear."

Su Mu nodded. The skills and money were not given for free. If he agreed to her, it would be like taking sides.

The four major families in Wuling City are not united, and they fight openly and secretly among each other.

Standing on the side of the Luo family means naturally standing on the opposite side of the other three families.

"If you can become the Taiping Commander, then there is no need to say more. The Taiping Division does not interfere in local affairs."

Luo An Ning said, "If, I mean if, if you fail to pass the selection of the Taiping Division and ultimately fail to become the Taiping Commandant, then you can return to the Luo family, whether you are a tribute or a Sima, it's all fine."

This transaction is actually very simple.

The Luo family supports Su Mu's training. If Su Mu can become the Taiping Commander, it will not be under the control of the Luo family. However, the Luo family can be said to have a good relationship with Su Mu.

If Su Mu failed to become the Taiping Commandant, he would have to leave the Taiping Division. A strong man in the fourth level of body tempering is also very important to the Luo family.

Luo Anning's recruitment method is many times more sophisticated than He Yuxing's.

At least in terms of attitude, she treated Su Mu fairly instead of treating him as a dog that could be summoned and dismissed at will.

Su Mu is actually not averse to taking sides. If he had met Luo An Ning before meeting Lin Qihuan, Su Mu would have agreed to her without hesitation.

But now, Su Mu is already a white-robed official in the Taiping Division, and all he has to do is follow the steps and move up.

His practice is different from others, he doesn't need too much money.

"If you have support, you don't need to waste time being a constable for money. If you use this time for cultivation..."

Luo Anning said.

"Sorry, I think it's more solid to get things with your own hands."

Su Mu was still a little hesitant, but when he heard Luo An Ning's words, he immediately spoke in a decisive tone.

What a joke. They want to deprive him of his status as a chief constable. How can you tolerate this?

Is it the money that matters to me? It is this status that matters to me!

"Ok."

Luo Anning didn't expect Su Mu to refuse. After a long pause, she said, "You can think about it. If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime.

I'll give these to you as a token of my sincerity."

She pointed at the corpses on the ground.

"You can't control this demon. I'll find someone to help you take it back to the Taiping Division for disposal."

Then she pointed at the demon and said, "The credit goes to you, too."

…………

The gap between people is so huge.

Luo Anning put in a lot of effort, but in the end he didn't get any credit at all.

He Yuxing sat in the yamen of Nanchengsi without taking any risks, but in the end he took away most of the credit.

Su Mu even suspected that if He Yuxing had not been concerned about his identity as a white-clad official of the Taiping Division, he would have embezzled all the credit.

After handing over the affairs of Nancheng Division, Su Mu went straight home.

"Captain Su, the things have been moved to the backyard. Make sure no one else finds them."

Zheng Wang was already waiting for him at the door. He said something mysteriously and left with a satisfied smile on his face.

Su Mu came to the backyard and saw seven or eight large boxes piled there. A smile appeared on his face.

He kept half of what he had confiscated from the Wutan Sect, and divided the remaining half among the detectives. What He Yuxing saw was only one-fourth.
