"These are just minor injuries, nothing serious."
Lu Li chuckled and said, "Sister Ge, don't be too desperate tonight. If you encounter a difficult opponent, just leave it to the Palace Master to deal with it."
Hearing this, Ge Xinyue did not answer Lu Li immediately. She just pursed her lips and shook her head to reject the proposal.
Although she knew that Lu Li's current strength far exceeded hers, at present, Lu Li was not strong enough to dominate the overall situation.
Taking it out would put a heavier burden on him.
"Don't push it too hard."
Ge Xinyue knew that Lu Li had become impatient recently, mainly because he was stimulated by the events in Tianwaitian.
Ever since he learned about the existence of Tianwaitian, Lu Li had entered a very desperate state. However, Ge Xinyue is not incomprehensible. After all, anyone would feel anxious after learning that there is a group of heavenly and human-level powerhouses outside the Zhenwu Territory.
But understanding is understanding, Ge Xinyue still felt that Lu Li was too nervous and put too much pressure on herself.
As if he noticed that Ge Xinyue was hesitant to speak, Lu Li said: "Tonight is not our home court, Mo Shenfeng is the protagonist. Don't worry, I haven't become so big that I can compete with a top grandmaster for the limelight. "
A conservative estimate would suggest that there are already more than ten grandmasters coming to the banquet tonight. Among them, there are many top masters who are as clumsy as the 'Master Hou' mentioned by Song Bocheng, and the only top grandmaster on his side is Mo Shenfeng.
If you include Cao Hanbing and Zheng An, whose positions are temporarily unknown, the three half-step top players, plus Mu Ningqiu, there are four grandmasters in total, this is the total combat power on the table.
But if the generals of Prince Yan's palace are added, the number of powerful masters can reach six.
Although there is still a gap compared with the powerful and powerful side of the family, at least it has been able to achieve a balanced combat power, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
Ge Xinyue knew that Lu Li was someone who would not listen to advice, so she could only sigh: "If we can't catch them all tonight, it's better not to push too hard and save yourself."
"I understand." Lu Li nodded and reassured Ge Xinyue.
Then Lu Li stood up and said, "I'm going to meet with His Highness first."
Tonight's plan was actually laid out jointly by him and Mu Hongxiu.
A very important part of it requires Mu Hongxiu's help to complete.
So before the banquet begins, I have to meet Mu Hongxiu.
Ge Xinyue knew the inside story and did not stop Lu Li.
Watching him leave, Ge Xinyue lowered her eyes and sighed inaudibly.
Now she began to regret that she had not been able to break through the realm earlier and become Grandmaster Mingyou.
With her talent and Mu Hongxiu's careful teaching, she should have advanced to the Ming Nether Realm long before Mu Ningqiu. But in the end, she chose to suppress the realm. Relying on the strength of the Immortal Realm, she fought her way through the land to earn the title of Qinglian, and she was considered to be comparable to a grandmaster in the true sense.
But a combat power comparable to that of a grandmaster is simply a joke when faced with this kind of situation.
If they could break through earlier, there would be at least one more available combat force now.
Thinking like this, Ge Xinyue seemed to have made some kind of determination and silently turned around and left.
…
After all, this Yan Prince's Mansion was built in the Yanzhou fiefdom, and it was several times more impressive than the temporary residence in the imperial capital.
But Mu Hongxiu's residence was still in the style of a simple courtyard.
When Lu Li came to the small courtyard, he happened to see Mu Hongxiu sitting in the courtyard, guarding the forging furnace in front of her, with various forging materials piled around her, as if she was thinking about something.
Among them, the huge divine crystal that was left over from forging the flying sword was also among them.
"Sit anywhere."
Mu Hongxiu noticed Lu Li's aura, but she didn't even bother to raise her eyes. After saying something lightly, she grabbed a handful of fine pieces of puppet armor and threw them into the forging furnace in front of her.
Her "heroic" movements made Lu Li feel a pain in his heart, knowing that those armor fragments must have been wasted.
During this period of time, Mu Hongxiu had wasted countless precious materials in order to perfect the Blue Sky Thunder Fire. If it weren't for the huge divine crystal being so valuable that even she was reluctant to part with it, she wouldn't have kept it until today.
"How's your injury?"
Lu Li sat on the stone chair opposite Mu Hongxiu and asked casually.
Mu Hongxiu then raised her eyes and glanced at him, but she was used to Lu Li's increasingly 'unbridled' attitude, so she didn't care about it, and just replied lukewarmly: "Thanks to the fundamental method, I have almost recovered. "
"That's good."
Lu Li said: "If you persist in practicing the fundamental method, you might be able to develop a brand new martial arts system. After all, this is the inheritance of the first generation of warriors and points directly to the origin of life. It may not be weaker than the current martial arts system."
The current martial arts system is only relatively complete.
But compared to the fundamental method, one is like a highway that leads straight to the sky, and the other is like a steady step leading to the top of the mountain.
Mu Hongxiu's current condition is equivalent to someone destroying the steps and falling from the top of the mountain, but she may not be able to take the avenue that leads directly to the sky.
Moreover, after this period of warming up, Mu Hongxiu's complexion has recovered a lot, at least her face is no longer sickly pale.
Hearing Lu Li's words, Mu Hongxiu looked at Lu Li again, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Having gotten used to her change of being less talkative, Lu Li didn't care and explained, "We decided to do it tonight, and we need your help with something small."
"Say it."
Upon hearing this, Mu Hongxiu put down the pieces of puppet armor in her hand.
Lu Li then said: "I think some of those people must have mastered the method of communicating with the heavens and the heavens, so I need you to show up tonight to induce them to take the initiative to contact those heavenly beings."
Worried about Mu Hongxiu's misunderstanding, Lu Li explained: "Before taking action, Mo Shenfeng will be responsible for your safety. If you successfully induce the incarnation of heaven and man to come, Mu Ningqiu will escort you to a safe place."
After all, he wanted to use her as bait. Lu Li was afraid that she would think he wanted to 'rebel', so he explained this more.
But what Lu Li didn't expect was that Mu Hongxiu simply agreed: "Okay."
Lu Li was slightly startled.
Then he couldn't help but said: "You... don't think about it anymore? There are still certain risks in this plan. Even Mo Shenfeng cannot completely guarantee your safety."
Mu Hongxiu glanced at Lu Li: "What about you?"
Lu Li was stunned again, and then became sluggish.
Did you take me into consideration when co-writing
Seeing his expression, Mu Hongxiu said calmly: "You are the foreign affairs manager of Prince Yan's Palace, and you should be responsible for my safety. Mo Shenfeng is the Lord of Yanzhou Palace, and he does not have this responsibility."
"You may not think too highly of me." Lu Li smiled bitterly, "In my current state, I can kill a grandmaster at most. I'm afraid I won't have the energy to take care of your safety."
"That's your problem." Mu Hongxiu turned her head and began to control the temperature of the forging furnace with a special technique.
Ever since she forged the brand new 'Peach Blossom Sword', she seemed to be addicted to weapon refining and couldn't extricate herself. She seemed to have completely changed her personality.
As a result, Lu Li often forgot her identity, and his tone of voice when talking to her became more and more casual.
However, the current Mu Hongxiu does lack a lot of the majesty that belongs to King Yan.
Even the fiery red robe was replaced by a plain white skirt, sitting there quietly, as beautiful as a scene in a painting, and quite a bit out of this world.
He didn't know if it was because she had been so close to Ling'er recently, but Lu Li always felt like she was infected by Ling'er, and her personality became more and more reserved.
So, Lu Li tentatively said, "Is that the decision?"
Mu Hongxiu hummed lightly.
She was so easy to talk to, but it made Lu Li a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but said: "It's better to practice less weapons. I feel like you are about to become an immortal."
It would have been better not to say this. As soon as he said this, Mu Hongxiu narrowed her beautiful eyes, looked at Lu Li and said, "Looking for death?"
Although her current threat no longer had much deterrent effect, and even her pretense of majesty was still a bit cute, Lu Li felt that this was her true nature and relaxed a little, "Then I'll get ready first."
"stop."
Just when Lu Li was about to say goodbye and leave, Mu Hongxiu suddenly stopped him.
