Chapter 137, Name and Position
The director's two apprentices were going to give lectures in the No. 6 Qihuang Hall, and Hua Changxi naturally didn't want to give in. However, as a servant in the service hall, she didn't have the power to say no.

Although Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou had a decent attitude, they only came to inform her, not to seek her opinion.

Moreover, she lost the wooden sign.

Hua Changxi left the Qihuang Hall feeling somewhat depressed. As he walked, he came to the square. He looked at the old courtyard with its gate open, thought for a moment, and then walked in.

Gu Xing was a little surprised to see Hua Changxi. His place was very lively now, with people coming in and out every day, looking like they were looking for treasure. But this girl, except for the time when she took the wooden sign, she rarely came here since then.

"Looking at you, did something happen to you?"

Hua Changxi stood in front of the wall in the courtyard where the wooden plaques had been hung, wondering, "I clearly matched the nine Qihuang Halls of the Miscellaneous Service Hall with the nine wooden plaques, so why did Mu Qingying and the others' wooden plaques still react?"

Gu Xing probably knew what she was talking about, and said with a smile: "If I am not mistaken, you have only unlocked the preaching content of nine Qihuang Halls. Except for Qihuang Hall No. 1, you should not have bound the other Qihuang Halls with wooden plaques."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's expression brightened: "By binding, do you mean to make the small sword on the wooden sign fit together with the sword groove on the stone pillar at the entrance of Qihuang Hall?"

Gu Xing smiled but said nothing.

Hua Changxi slapped her head in regret. Before, she was worried about making a big noise and attracting other people's attention, so she had never used the three-dimensional small sword on the wooden sign and closed the sword slot on the stone pillar for other Qihuang Halls except the No. 1 Qihuang Hall.

"Then if other people's wooden signs condense into small swords, they can also bind to Qihuang Hall?"

Gu Xing smiled and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Hua Changxi felt overwhelmed when he thought of the appeal of Gu Jinfan and Yuan Tianchou. With so many people coming to listen to their lectures, it wouldn't take them long to condense the sword pattern.

Seeing her expression changing, Gu Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Why haven't you been attending classes during this period?"

Hua Changxi: "I have limited time and need to take care of other things."

Gu Xing: "Qihuang Hall is a place for preaching. Since you don't have the energy to teach, it's normal to let others teach."

Hua Changxi didn't say anything. Not to mention the nine Qihuang clinics in the Apprentice Hall, she was the first one to occupy the nine Qihuang clinics in the Miscellaneous Services Hall. Now that she was asked to give them up, how could she be willing to do so?

Gu Xing looked at her and asked, "Are you angry that others go to Qihuang Hall for classes, or are you angry that you can't keep Qihuang Hall?"

Hua Changxi: "Is there any difference?"

Gu Xing smiled and said, "There is a big difference."

Hua Changxi frowned and was silent for a while, then walked to the stone table and sat down: "I just feel aggrieved. Why do I still have to be controlled by others now?"

Gu Xing listened to her tone, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Do you dare to kill someone?"

Hua Changxi glanced at him and said, "Of course."

Gu Xing asked again: "You dare to kill people, but are you willing to turn yourself into a murderer?"

Hua Changxi stopped talking.

Gu Xing smiled and said, "If you don't want to, then even if you have super high martial arts power, you won't have much deterrent power against others, especially official offices like the Medical Department."

"Do you know why many martial arts masters wander around the world alone?"

Hua Changxi: "Because they like freedom."

Gu Xing laughed out loud: "Then why do you think many masters live in such a tight financial situation?"

Hua Changxi: "Because they are not good at managing money."

Gu Xing smiled, and then he sighed: "Girl, you still have a lot to learn."

Hua Changxi was puzzled: "Senior Gu, what do you want to say?"

Gu Xing said seriously: "From your tone, your cultivation should be quite high, but your strength only affects yourself. In other words, this strength only gives you a certain degree of self-protection power, and you don't gain the ability to influence others."

Hua Changxi was stunned when he heard this. Gu Xing continued, "The court has established the Medical Bureau for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, the Medical Bureau has already formed a set of effective and smooth-running rules and regulations."

"Under this set of rules and regulations, each department of the Medical Department has its own position, and each person in the department has his or her own position."

"Girl, have you found your place? Do you think you have a place in the Medical Department now?"

Hua Changxi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

There is no place for her in the Medical Department. Not to mention being the director, even a sixth-rank director could make her pack up and leave with any excuse.

Gu Xing: "In fact, you are teaching the servants in Qihuang Hall, which is a very good way to make a name for yourself."

"Once you become famous, you will gain a certain reputation. With reputation, you will have a certain status in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall."

"It's just that the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall is the lowest department of the Medical Department, and your reputation has not spread beyond the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Even if it has spread, it is not enough to influence others. Therefore, to the Apprentice Hall, Disciple Hall, and the Ninth Street Pharmacy outside the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, you are nothing."

"If you want to truly have a place in the Pharmaceutical Department, you have to find a way to make a name for yourself in the entire department. Only then can you have a place in the department and have the ability to make others respect you."

"You don't have enough reputation to influence others now, nor do you have anything to be feared by others, so you can only be manipulated and controlled at will."

Gu Xing’s words shocked Hua Changxi greatly. These were things she had never thought of.

Everything she did before was just to improve her strength. She just wanted to avoid being bullied and to be independent in her own life. She never thought about influencing others.

After a long while, Hua Changxi finally spoke: "Can't I just stay out of trouble? Why do I have to fight for fame and position?"

Gu Xing: "Of course you can. It is not uncommon to see masters wandering around the world alone since ancient times. However, if you want to stay in the Medical Department and want to deal with people, you have to consider how to settle down."

Hua Changxi thought for a moment and said, "You said it all. The Medical Bureau has been established for hundreds of years. The rules have long been established. People with backgrounds are in every position. How can I survive in this situation?"

Gu Xing smiled and said, "It's not like the rules can't be broken."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi was shocked and looked at Gu Xing in surprise.

Gu Xing's smile remained unchanged: "You can follow the rules, or you can break them."

Hua Changxi was silent for a moment: "Senior, I feel like you are trying to trick me into doing something."

Gu Xing smiled: "If you were really induced by me, it was because you wanted to be induced. The choice is always in your hands, isn't it?"

Hua Changxi looked at him and said, "Senior, you are really good at bewitching people. You should go to Qihuang Hall for classes."

Gu Xing smiled and shook his head: "I am just a janitor, I can't teach any classes."

Hua Changxi: "It's a waste of your talent to let you guard the door." She was in a state of emotional ups and downs and didn't want to stay in the old courtyard any longer. "Senior, I'm sorry to bother you today. You should have a good rest."

When we left the old courtyard, it was already dark.

On the way back to his yard, Hua Changxi's mind was filled with the words Gu Xing had just said.

I have to admit that a lot of what he said was right.

She really had no status in the Medical Department, so when Mu Qingying and Yuan Tianchou came to the No. 6 Qihuang Clinic for classes, they just needed to notify her.

But Gu Xing didn't say everything. To have a seat in the Medical Department, it is not just a simple struggle for a position.

Her status gives her certain powers, but behind power comes responsibility, which means that she has to take responsibility for her position.

But what she resists most is taking responsibility.

Responsibility meant trouble, and trouble was what she hated the most.

Hua Changxi sighed. She was already a cultivator, so why couldn't she avoid the struggle for power?
