Chapter 158: Magical Table
These few hundred people, Ling Mo had arranged them, but… next, he needed to consider how to cultivate them.
“Let’s go! Back to Star Picking Tower first…”
Holding Zhu Zhuqing’s arm, the two left North Mountain. Currently… there was nothing lacking on North Mountain, except for some food and daily necessities.
These things all needed to be purchased, so it seemed he needed to find someone specialized to handle it.
Previously, when Ghost Gate only had Ling Mo alone, he didn’t need to consider these things, but as more people gradually joined.
For a sect’s smooth operation, these were indispensable.
Returning to Star Picking Tower, Ling Mo began pondering these issues!
“That old man still hasn’t returned! Looks like he’s still short on a few helpers…”
The more Ling Mo thought, the more his head hurt. Dugu Bo was busy with negotiations and matters of uniting with other academies, unable to free himself.
Ling Mo thought about it; he was still short on some helpers.
Three Thousand Armored Soldiers couldn’t handle these matters. The only way was to recruit some people with strong organizational abilities and experience.
“What are you thinking about?”
Zhu Zhuqing stood by the window, occasionally turning back to glance at Ling Mo, finding his troubled expression quite puzzling.
“What else could it be! These people were bought back, but what to have them do next, how to cultivate them—it’s still a problem right now…”
Hearing Ling Mo’s words, Zhu Zhuqing also realized it; she really hadn’t thought about these things.
“So what do you plan to do?”
“I don’t know, I need to think it over carefully…”
Ling Mo shook his head, seemingly the only way was to let them manage themselves temporarily.
The entire operation and circulation of the previous auction house were handled by them, so… they still had their own abilities.
The only thing Ling Mo was worried about was who would be responsible for going out to purchase supplies?
Just now, he had preliminarily observed and found a few among them whose performance quite satisfied Ling Mo.
They still retained the most basic autonomous consciousness; Ling Mo had been observing them since entering the mountain.
Perhaps these few people could take on the role! Then send a Yin Soldier to accompany them down the mountain to purchase, and there shouldn’t be any problems.
Saying it and doing it, Ling Mo immediately went to North Mountain, gathered those few people, assigned the tasks, and then sent a Soul Douluo-level Yin Soldier to protect them.
After giving them plenty of money, he had them go down the mountain to procure the needed items, food, and so on.
After handling these matters, Ling Mo returned to Star Picking Tower again.
“Girl! I’m still short a position for managing finances, responsible for expenditures and such! How about… you…”
Before Ling Mo finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing directly interrupted.
“Nice try! I’m not managing your money. I don’t lack money to spend myself, and moreover… the Soul Master Competition is about to start soon. At that time, how would I have time to stay on the mountain every day…”
It seemed… there was some reason to it, but Ling Mo still didn’t give up.
“How about I reserve this position for you for now, and after the Soul Master Competition ends, you come back to take it?”
Ling Mo probed.
“Forget it, I’m not very familiar with these matters. I think you should give it to Rongrong. When it comes to managing finances, she’s absolutely an expert…”
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then said.
“Rongrong? Heh heh, better not! That girl spends money lavishly, buying everything! If all the money were handed to her, the sect would probably go bankrupt in a day or two…”
Ling Mo shuddered just thinking about it; Ning Rongrong spent money too wildly!
In the world, probably only Ning Fengzhi could afford her spending like that.
After all, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School was rich; she couldn’t spend it all no matter how she tried, but… Ghost Gate was different.
Ghost Gate had just been established; none of the commercial industrial chains were built yet, and it couldn’t withstand such tossing.
“You! You’re just underestimating Rongrong. She’s not someone who doesn’t understand reason. Though she’s good at spending money, she’s not clueless about everything…
Besides, coming from Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, she often accompanied her father, so through influence and example, she must have learned a trick or two, right?
I think Rongrong is the most suitable candidate!”
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing’s explanation, Ling Mo also felt Ning Rongrong was a very suitable choice.
Moreover, she was his own wife, the safest and most reliable option, and… she wasn’t that clueless, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
“Hearing you say that, I suddenly realize this girl has quite a few merits…”
Ling Mo found it amusing; all along, he hadn’t noticed Ning Rongrong had so many strengths.
“All day long, you just think about that stuff! No wonder you couldn’t notice…” Zhu Zhuqing pretended to be angry.
“That stuff? What stuff?”
Ling Mo asked despite knowing, and Zhu Zhuqing’s face instantly turned red, stopping mid-sentence.
“What else could it be, just that stuff…”
“What stuff? I don’t understand…”
Zhu Zhuqing was furious, glared at Ling Mo, and seeing him secretly laughing, she immediately understood.
“Fine, you dare to tease me…”
Zhu Zhuqing walked right over, but Ling Mo suddenly hugged her, feeling a hand touch her back.
“What are you doing? Let go…”
Zhu Zhuqing panicked instantly; this was Star Picking Tower, not Yu Lang Xuan!
“Heh heh, this is you throwing yourself into my arms; it has nothing to do with me!”
Saying that, Ling Mo slowly lifted her up and gently placed her on the desk.
Speaking of… this table could be considered battle-tested, having gone through several intense battles.
Zhu Zhuqing struggled to get down but was held firmly by Ling Mo, unable to move, so she could only obediently sit on it.
Ling Mo slowly removed her shoes, revealing a pair of flawless white jade feet.
Zhu Zhuqing’s face was completely red. Though it wasn’t the first time, she always reacted this way.
She was extremely shy to begin with, not good at expressing her emotions.
“Can we go back to the room?” Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, though no one passed below, but if they were caught by chance, she wouldn’t have the face to see anyone.
“What’s the rush! You’ve walked all day, tired, right? Let me give you a rub…”
A burst of white light enveloped them, and Zhu Zhuqing’s face flushed with shyness, not stopping Ling Mo’s actions.
Gradually, she let go of her reservations and directly pulled Ling Mo up from the chair.
“Making you bully me!”
Throwing caution to the wind, Zhu Zhuqing went all out and directly pressed Ling Mo onto the desk.
“Damn…”
Ling Mo was also startled, thinking when did this girl get such courage?
This table was a magical table; only on this table did Ling Mo always end up in a passive situation every time.
For some reason, every time Ling Mo was here, he was passively pinned down!
Qian Renxue was like this, Dugu Yan was like this, and Zhu Zhuqing turned out to be the same.
“Looks like I need to find an opportunity to replace this table; it’s damaging to my image…”
