Strictly speaking, he couldn’t be blamed for being useless. No one had expected that Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai, these two insignificant minions, would be able to succeed in building their Foundation at the same time. But in the end, he could only blame himself for not doing his job well.
As a big senior, he couldn’t even take care of two of Lin Yi’s lackeys-this was a fact that couldn’t be covered up no matter how hard he tried to come up with an excuse. Meng jueguang felt embarrassed, and he didn’t dare to find any excuses to avoid young master Xu.
Based on Meng jueguang’s many years of experience, the best way to deal with this situation was to put on a sincere and ashamed look in preparation for a scolding. He didn’t need to say anything else, because anything else would be unnecessary.
The young master Xu in front of her was a really smart person. Any action of shirking responsibility in front of him would be stupid. The more she said, the more wrong she would be. She might as well put on a good attitude and leave a good impression of being pragmatic.
As expected, after a moment of silence, Xu lingchong said,”Alright, I’ve got a rough understanding of the situation. It’s not your fault, old Meng. After all, no one would have expected that two small fries of the other party would suddenly succeed in building their Foundation. Besides, it’s normal that Meng Tong alone can’t handle it. You don’t have to blame yourself too much.”
After all, Xu lingchong was not an ordinary hedonistic young master. His shrewdness and tolerance were far beyond that of ordinary people. Once a person like Meng jueguang entered his eyes, as long as he did not make a mistake in the key principle of loyalty, he could completely tolerate small mistakes like ordinary ones.
Because only in this way could he create an image of being open-minded, and in the future, there would be more talents who would rely on him and be willing to work for him.
Moreover, Meng jueguang’s actions this time were indeed excusable. If Xu lingchong were to hold onto this matter and not let it go, it would appear that he was too narrow-minded. Not only would it not help the situation, but it would also easily ruin his reputation. The gains did not make up for the losses.
“Thank you for your understanding, young master Xu. I won’t say any more hypocritical flattery. I hope that young master Xu will look at my performance in the future, and I will do my best to not disappoint you again.” Meng jueguang said with tears of gratitude.
Xu lingchong was obviously very pleased with this. He put down his pride and reached out to Pat Meng jueguang on the shoulder.”Alright, old Meng, I can see your loyalty. Work hard in the future, and I won’t mistreat you.”
Shangguan LAN ‘er’s mouth twitched as she looked at the master and servant’s act of sacrificing themselves for their bosom friend. Even though she was inexperienced, she could feel the pretense. Birds of a Feather really did flock together. These people were so hypocritical, they couldn’t compare to her Little Junior Brother Lin Yi at all!
What they didn’t know was that Xu lingchong was intentionally pulling Meng jueguang along to put on a show. His vision wasn’t just limited to Lin Yi in the welcome Pavilion-he was doing this to create the image of a wise young master, to spread his reputation through the mouths of these people present, paving the way for him to take over the Xu family in the future!
The master and servant acted for a long time. Seeing that everyone was already discussing it, they stopped with satisfaction when they saw that the effect was almost there.
“Come to think of it, what do you think we should do in this situation, old Meng? we can’t just let Lin Yi’s lackeys continue to be so arrogant, can we? Otherwise, where will I put my face if this continues?” Xu lingchong asked.
He was a smart person, but his focus was always on the higher-ups, and he wouldn’t waste too much energy on people at the bottom like Lin Yi. If he had to do everything himself, then what was the point of having a subordinate like Meng jueguang?
Young master Xu felt that as the master, his job was to back Meng jueguang up and help him solve some problems he couldn’t solve. Meng jueguang was more than enough to deal with a low-class figure like Lin Yi.
Meng jueguang had been waiting for Xu lingchong’s words for a long time, and he immediately replied,”Young master Xu, although Lin Yi’s group seems to be too big for us to deal with, from what I can see, it’s actually very easy to deal with them. As long as we can regain the upper hand in terms of strength, everything else will be solved.”
“Oh? Old Meng, how do you want to regain your advantage?” Xu lingchong said with a frown.
He knew that the strength Meng jueguang was talking about was the strength of the new people under him. After all, if he didn’t want to take the risk, he had to deal with Lin Yi’s group through these new people. Lin Yi and the others were all in the early Foundation Stage, while Meng jueguang’s new people only had Meng Tong. In comparison, they were too weak.
However, if he wanted all of Meng jueguang’s new disciples, other than Meng Tong, to break through to the foundation establishment stage as soon as possible, he would need to spend a lot of medicinal pills and resources. The key was that he might not see any results if he invested so many resources.
Because even Meng jueguang, the manager of the group, couldn’t guarantee the loyalty of so many new people. Plus, it was unknown how many of them would succeed, and they might not be able to gain the upper hand against Lin Yi’s group.
Meng jueguang had already considered this and immediately said,”Young master Xu, even if more resources are distributed to more than one person, it might not have an immediate effect. However, if we concentrate all of them on Meng Tong, we can raise his strength by one level and make him reach the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage. What do you think?”
Hearing this, Xu lingchong’s eyes lit up.”Not bad, not bad. As long as Meng Tong can regain his overwhelming strength advantage, it won’t matter how many early Foundation Stage cultivators Lin Yi’s group has. We’ll kill them one by one. That’s a good idea, old Meng!”
However, after a pause, Xu lingchong immediately shook her head and said,”But, even though that’s true, if I remember correctly, Meng Tong only managed to break through to the foundation building stage last month, and he even took a foundation building pill and foundation building liquid. It’s not easy for him to reach the peak of the early foundation building stage in a short time!”
Meng Tong was overjoyed at first, thinking that he would be able to get a lot of benefits this time. However, after hearing Xu lingchong’s words, his heart sank to the bottom.
Now that even young master Xu was saying this, her dream of reaching the peak of the foundational level and taking revenge on Lin Yi and the others was just a dream, wasn’t it?
However, Meng jueguang did not give up. He continued to fight for him.”Young master Xu, I know that you’ve invested too many resources in us. We feel that we can’t repay you, so we can only do your bidding. But, we really can’t just watch a guy like Lin Yi continue to be so arrogant, or it’ll affect young master Xu’s reputation, and we won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace. ”
