In Bixi Valley, Liu Jizhen and An Tongchen looked at each other.
An Tongchen sneered: "It's coming so soon, I'm really worried!"
It was an acquaintance who came, that is, Uncle Yin Hong Yin.
"Junior Sister Yin? Come in." Liu Jizhen raised his voice.
When Yin Hong outside heard the voice, he felt a sense of fear at first, and then a trace of displeasure.
She was afraid because she and Liu Jizhen were of the same generation, and she had seen with her own eyes how beautiful the other party was back then. In front of this great disciple, she dared not show her grandeur. But then she thought, it has been so many years, Liu Jizhen is no longer the original Liu Jizhen, he just has the name of head of the courtyard, but he is a useless person, what right does he have to show off in front of her? He didn't come out to greet her, and just asked her to come in so naturally.
But she has a mission on this trip, so she can only suppress her unhappiness temporarily, and under the guidance of Hui Niang, she came to the study.
"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother An." Yin Hong greeted with a smile.
Lu Mingshu got up and bowed his head to her, but didn't make a sound.
Before Qilin would go with her, Yin Hong knew that she was cold-tempered. Although she didn't take it seriously, she didn't care. She reached out to help her, and said with a smile, "It's good that Nephew Lu is back safely. The head is very worried. Hearing about this, Order me to come and visit."
"Thank you, Junior Sister Yin." Liu Jizhen answered the words in a lukewarm manner, "Ming Shu came back from a long journey, full of travel and dust, it would be disrespectful, I want her to rest well, and then go to see the master."
Yin Hong immediately said: "Senior brother Liu is really polite. A family, father and daughter, what is there to be disrespectful? Nephew Lu has been missing for so many years, and the head and wife are very worried. Seeing her return safely, I can only be happy."
Worry? An Tongchen showed disdain. It should be happy, right? The princess, because of Xie Lianzhen's disappearance, even under the pressure of the Qizhen Temple, has to send people to search Beiming. What about the two of them? The father asked a few questions and it was over, not to mention the stepmother, who shed two tears hypocritically, and then didn't mention it.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Yin Hong had no choice but to find a topic by herself, pretending to hold Lu Mingshu's hand eagerly: "Where has Nephew Lu been all these years? Are you doing well? It seems..." Didn't grow up like
"It's okay." Lu Mingshu was equally lukewarm.
Yin Hong seemed unable to see their indifference, and continued to ask questions. It's a pity that the three of them didn't accept the move at all, it seemed like she was singing a one-man show alone.
When he had nothing to say, Yin Hong had no choice but to say: "Since Martial Nephew Lu is safe, I am at ease, and I will report back to the master. By the way, Martial Nephew has been away for so long, and I have never taken the role of true disciple. Go back and get one. Speaking of which, my nephew and nephew did not participate in the previous two battles of Tianmen, but you have to prepare well, if you miss the next one, the quota of true disciples will be gone."
"Thank you, Junior Sister Yin, for reminding me." Liu Jizhen thanked lightly, and said casually, "However, she will not be able to participate in the Tianmen War."
"Why is this?" Yin Hong secretly rejoiced. Could it be that something happened to Lu Mingshu during this trip? There is still a year and a half left in the battle of Tianmen!
But Liu Jizhen said: "Only Fusion Realm disciples can participate, of course she can't do it. Oh, this quota of True Inheritance disciples should also be given up. Ming Shu, go and change your identity card later."
Lu Mingshu bowed his head: "Yes, Master."
Yin Hong was taken aback for a moment, and his mind didn't turn around for a while.
An Tongchen was happy to give her a blow, and said, "Junior Sister Yin, Nephew Lu has already entered into a trance. It's really gratifying to congratulate someone from the 16th generation of disciples who has finally been promoted. When you go back, don't forget to reconcile with the master." Good news, madam!"
"What?" Yin Hong cried out, "T-trance?"
"Yes!" An Tongchen gloated a little, "Could it be that Junior Sister Yin is unhappy?"
"W-how could it be?" Yin Hong forced a smile, and asked again, "Martial Nephew Lu, is this true? You have only been in fusion for seven years, right?"
"Yes!" Lu Mingshu said calmly, "Who told me that I am my father's daughter? He has been in a trance for seven years, and I have been in a trance for seven years, shouldn't it be right?"
"Say, that's right..." Yin Hong was already out of her mind, there was nothing to lie about such a thing, besides, when she paid attention now, Lu Mingshu's aura was clearly different.
After inquiring about such a big matter, Yin Hong impatiently stayed, and said indiscriminately: "This is a great happy event, I will report to Madam right away, and take my leave."
Said, hurried away.
An Tongchen looked at her back, with a mocking smile on his face: "What a shame! Even the mastermind behind the scenes was revealed, why did Zhou Miaoru choose such an idiot as a servant?"
"Is it because of stupidity?" Lu Mingshu continued, "She has only that little ability, how can a smart person manage it?"
An Tongchen laughed: "That's right." Then he stopped laughing and gritted his teeth, "I belong to the willow forest, and I originally kept absolute neutrality, but she wanted to be a monster. Seeing that my master was injured, she actually wanted to step on me. If That’s not the case, how could I get hurt? It’s not that easy to let go of this matter, since she wants to force our Liu Lin lineage to fight against her, then let’s go ahead!”
Lu Mingshu was taken aback: "Uncle An, you were injured because of Zhou Miaoru? What's going on?"
…
Yin Hong rushed to Qiongyu Palace, and not long after reporting, Zhou Miaoru appeared.
"How is it?" Zhou Miaoru is a woman in her forties, but she has a strong body and pays attention to maintenance. She looks less than thirty, but she is still gentle and beautiful.
Yin Hong's voice was hurried: "Ma'am, it's a big deal! That girl, that girl is in a trance!"
Zhou Miaoru frowned and looked up at her: "What did you say?"
"Lu Mingshu is in a trance!" Yin Hong repeated.
Zhou Miaoru paused, and put the tea cup in her hand on the table: "Elder Yin, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course the subordinates know."
Zhou Miaoru said in a deep voice: "How old is that girl? You have only been away from the mountain for a few years, why are you in a trance? Have you been deceived by her?"
Yin Hong said anxiously: "It's absolutely true! It's just a judgment of realm, how could a subordinate make a mistake?"
Zhou Miaoru lowered her face, picked up the teacup for a moment, thought for a while and then put it down: "What's going on? It's only been seven years. Did she advance to the next level by some strange thing? Is her realm unstable?"
"This..." How could Yin Hong answer? When she found out about this, she rushed back to report it, so she had to say, "It doesn't look like she's in a state of instability. Ma'am, the head of the sect has also been in a trance for seven years. After all, she is the head's flesh and blood, maybe it's true..."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Miaoru interrupted her, "It's not that easy!"
Yin Hong lowered her head, not daring to say any more.
Zhou Miaoru stood up and walked back and forth several times, but she still couldn't calm down.
how is this possible? How could that girl be in a trance for seven years? It's been a hundred years since Liu Jizhen was like that, how could she be better than Liu Jizhen? Even if he successfully breaks through the level as soon as he reaches the peak, it is not so fast!
From the beginning to the end, she didn't take the phrase "it's normal for the father to spend seven years, and it's normal for the daughter to also spend seven years" to heart.
