Xu Lian left the county magistrate's mansion and rode a black horse on the way back to the Lin family's house.
The cool evening breeze made his heart feel cool and peaceful... No wonder some people like to go for a drive at night.
Zengzi said: "I examine myself three times a day." In a world like this, self-reflection is particularly important.
For example, this afternoon in Lingcui Building, I was jealous of Zheng Ren. I should try to avoid this kind of thing in the future. It is not only useless, but also a waste of time and easy to get into trouble.
Of course, if it is really unavoidable, there is no need to give in too much. You can't wipe the spit off your face and put on a smiling face when someone spits on it. He has not reached that level yet.
"Luckily, this is a busy street in Pingyang County, so Zheng Ren couldn't act so blatantly. I had time to find the county magistrate to help me deal with Zheng Ren.
If Zheng Ren kept his cool and didn't rush to retaliate against me, and waited until I appeared in the wild and then attacked me unexpectedly, I would be in danger.
The reason why Zheng Ren was so anxious might not just be for revenge, but he might also be eyeing my spirit stones and Qi Condensation Pills. This is also a reason. Nearly a thousand spirit stones plus forty-two Qi Condensation Pills are a large sum even for a young master from a big family. "
Xu Lian considers things from the perspective of his opponent, so that he can find out his own omissions and summarize his experience.
The main reason for Zheng Ren's failure was that no one expected his background, and he didn't expect that he could ask someone like the county magistrate for help.
"I can't always rely on others to help me solve problems. I have to work hard to improve my own strength. The second level of Mingjin period is still relatively weak in Pingyang County."
Back to the Lin family’s house, to the wing room in the west courtyard.
Xu Lian took out four Qi Condensation Pills, held them in his hand, and said to himself: Add raw materials.
Successfully added the Qi Condensation Pill and advanced to the third level of the Ming Jin Stage
Suddenly, the four Qi Condensation Pills turned into ashes.
At the same time, the sense of energy in his body further increased.
Just like a stream in the mountains, after a light rain, the stream expanded a little.
Name: Xu Lian
Level: Ming Jin Stage, Third Heaven
Skills: Wind-breaking Sword Technique (Volume 1)
Props: None (One-star long sword not worn)
Note: You currently have no advancement points, please obtain advancement points.
Xu Lian pondered and realized that he had no shortage of Qi Condensation Pills, but he lacked advancement points.
Advancement points are related to favorability, but most of his women are in Lvzhu Town, while he is in Pingyang County. If they are in a long-term "long-distance relationship", let alone improving favorability, it would be good enough if the favorability does not decrease.
“It would be great if we could bring Sister Xiya and the others to Pingyang County, but the waters in Pingyang County are too deep. Not only are there people from other sects infiltrating, but there are also all kinds of demons and monsters, as well as some family forces. The situation is complicated and intertwined.
With my current strength, I might even be in danger, let alone protecting them. It is safer for them to stay in Green Bamboo Town. At least there is the White Fox Mine Patrolman in Green Bamboo Town.
From now on, I will have to travel back and forth between Pingyang County and the town frequently. In the county, it is convenient to obtain cultivation resources and purchase raw materials for advancement; in the town, it is to cultivate favorability and obtain advancement points.
There is a balance to be found between raw materials and advanced points, and both must be taken into account.
Just like when people walk, it is definitely inconvenient to walk on one leg. Only by walking on two legs can we walk more steadily, faster, and farther. "
Xu Lian adjusted his future plans based on the current situation.
It is said that plans cannot keep up with changes. If plans also change accordingly, they can keep up with the changes. This is why he often adjusts his plans.
"Brother Xu Lian, Madam asked me to come over and ask you, have you had dinner?"
Xiaoyu came, still with her hair tied in a spiral bun. Maybe she had just taken a bath, her little face was red.
Xu Lian said, "Not yet, ask the kitchen to make me something to eat."
Xiaoyu asked, "What do you like to eat?"
Xu Lian thought for a while and ordered a few dishes he liked.
Xiaoyu counted on her fingers and wrote them down one by one.
Xu Lian saw that it was getting late, and it was almost time to rest after dinner. He couldn't help but think of Lin Wan. Cultivating a good impression was one aspect, but the main reason was that he really missed Lin Wan. "By the way, tell your eldest daughter a message, just say that the moon is quite round tonight, and ask her to come over to eat and enjoy the moon with me."
Xiaoyu was surprised and said, "Miss, you have already had dinner. Besides, it's not good for you two to be alone together at night."
What does this little girl know... Xu Lian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Just follow my instructions and tell your eldest daughter that she will decide whether to come or not."
Xiaoyu could only say "oh" and left the west yard and came to the kitchen.
She told the cook about the dishes Xu Lian ordered, and then, remembering what Xu Lian had told her, she went to Lin Wan's boudoir.
Arrived at the boudoir.
Seeing Hua Rongjun was talking to Lin Wan, Xiaoyu said, "Miss, Brother Xu Lian asked me to tell you that the moon is quite round tonight, and he wants you to come over to have dinner and enjoy the moon together."
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then she understood, blushed, and looked at Hua Rongjun a little embarrassedly.
As someone who had experienced this, how could Hua Rongjun not understand? She smiled and gave her an encouraging look, "Go ahead, eldest daughter."
Lin Wan stood up and walked out the door.
Xiaoyu said, "Miss, there is no need to go so quickly. The dishes ordered by Brother Xu Lian are still being prepared in the kitchen."
Hua Rongjun patted Xiaoyu's bun lightly in annoyance, "What do you know? It's not impossible to enjoy the moon first and then eat, right?"
Lin Wan came to the west courtyard and took a look at the moon in the night sky. It was really round.
Suddenly a figure rushed out, picked her up while she screamed, went into the house and closed the door.
Half an hour later.
Xiaoyu brought dinner but found the door was bolted from the inside, so she had to knock on the door, "Brother Xu Lian, dinner is ready."
Xu Lian's voice came from the room, "Put the dinner at the door, I'll eat it later."
Xiaoyu had no choice but to put down her dinner and looked around the house with closed doors and windows in confusion, not knowing where the eldest lady had gone.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day.
Name: Xu Lian
Level: Ming Jin Stage, Third Heaven
Skills: Wind-breaking Sword Technique (Volume 1)
Props: None (One-star long sword not worn)
Note: Lin Wan's favorability towards you has increased from 80/100 to 85/100
Xu Lian was surprised and happy. Lin Wan had lived in the Lin family for ten years without a man to rely on and care for her. After she got together with him, her favorability increased rapidly. If it continued to increase at this rate, it would not take long for it to reach more than 90/100.
Xiaoyu brought breakfast and saw Lin Wan was also in the west courtyard room. She opened her eyes wide, a little incredulous. How could the eldest lady be here? It was impossible that she had been watching the moon all night.
Recalling that the eldest lady had gone to the town with Xu Lian for a ten-day trip and had tied up her long hair after returning, she realized something vaguely.
Xiaoyu asked, "Brother Xu Lian, do I have to call you uncle from now on?"
Lin Wan looked at her and gently reminded her, "No need, just keep it the same as before, just keep it in mind."
Xiaoyu had no choice but to nod, with a somewhat strange look in her eyes. The eldest lady had a man before, and now she had become a beautiful woman, while brother Xu Lian still looked very young. No matter how you looked at them, they seemed a bit out of place. Moreover, after they got together, she was not allowed to tell anyone. What did that mean
In fact, she didn't know that everyone in the Lin family mansion already knew about it, and she was the last person to know.
Just as Xu Lian and Lin Wan were having breakfast, Qin Liu came.
Xu Lian asked him if he had eaten.
Tan Liu shook his head.
Xu Lian asked Xiaoyu to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks.
So, Qin Liu sat down and ate together.
Xiaoyu felt that Qin Liu’s forehead was brighter than the moon last night.
While eating, Qin Liu winked at Xu Lian, and Xu Lian understood. He guessed that the grave digging was already prepared. It was not convenient to talk about it here, so he would go out with Qin Liu later.
