It was the first time to enter the small courtyard of Zhou Liuzong.
Ye Huan accompanied her in, and after asking the boy to inform her, he said to her, "Miss Lu, you wait here, I can only help you here."
Lu Mingshu saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Elder Ye, for your care all the way. If there is an opportunity in the future, this junior will definitely repay you."
Ye Huan said indifferently: "There are some small things, don't worry about them." After she finished speaking, she brushed her sleeves, "I'll go back first, and you wish for happiness."
"Yes, elder, go."
Ye Huan left the courtyard. She didn't take Lu Mingshu's words seriously, not to mention that she was in danger now, even if she was doing well, as an elder of Zhou Liuzong, how could she help her
She really cherishes talent. If Lu Mingshu was a disciple of Zhou Liuzong, perhaps he had already included her in his sect. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing she wasn't. This girl is usually fine, but if she makes a mistake, it will be fatal. If it wasn't for the card amulet on Guang Ling Zun in her hand, she would not be able to escape the fate of life imprisonment this time—even if her elder Gu Xia came.
Back in the Qingjing Hall, Fengying came to plead guilty.
"The disciple failed to complete the task, please punish the master."
On normal days, Ye Huan would definitely punish her heavily, but today, she couldn't lift her mood at all.
She just sat there like that, ignoring Feng Ying.
Feng Ying didn't dare to say a word, and knelt there obediently.
Even the lively Xu Jiao didn't dare to say a word, and stayed by Master's side obediently.
After a long time, Feng Ying heard her master's faint voice: "Get up."
Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, Master is not angry anymore like this
She stood up silently and stood quietly in front of Master.
"Tell me about it first."
"Yes." Feng Ying said everything, starting from entering the Sanyang Stone, and finally found that Lu Mingshu and Xun Zining were fighting.
"So, you didn't find out anything." After listening to her narration, Ye Huan said.
Her tone was very calm, but Feng Ying didn't dare to make a fuss.
"The disciple is incompetent..."
"You are indeed incompetent!" Ye Huan said in a deep voice, "She has been wary of you for a long time."
Feng Ying was stunned: "Master, you mean..."
"This junior is interesting." Ye Huan took the teacup handed by the young disciple, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, "It's not that she is hostile to you, but she already understood that we have another purpose."
Feng Ying was silent. Lu Mingshu had clearly told her about this.
"You don't know how she and Xun Zining did it?"
"Yes." Feng Ying said in a low voice. In fact, this matter is equivalent to parting ways as soon as she entered Sanyang Stone, and she didn't have time to do anything at all.
Ye Huan tapped lightly, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "Keep an eye on Xun Zining."
Feng Ying was surprised: "Master, do you suspect the reason for their fight?"
Ye Huan said: "This Lu Mingshu, does he seem to be an impulsive person?"
Feng Ying shook her head. Knowing that they have ulterior motives, how can they be impulsive without missing a word.
"That's it. I believe that people can't stop fighting for a while, but I don't believe her words."
"Master, why is she doing this? What good does it do her?" Feng Ying was puzzled. If she wanted to go to Master Wushang, she could have made a request from the beginning.
"First, she has no other choice." Ye Huan said flatly, "The problem lies with Xun Zining, not with herself, so I asked you to keep an eye on Xun Zining."
Feng Ying was startled, then nodded: "What Master said is true."
"Secondly, something happened in Sanyang Stone that we don't know about. In that case, it still has something to do with Xun Zining."
All in all, Xun Zining is a key figure.
"But Xun Zining was put in confinement and was not allowed to go out for ten years. We can't see the result, right?"
Ye Huan shook his head, and his tone was a little heavy: "If Xun Zining is really the key, I'm afraid he won't be locked up for ten years."
…
In the small courtyard, Lu Mingshu waited for a long time.
It was not until evening that the little boy said, "Your Majesty invites the girl to come over."
Lu Mingshu heaved a sigh of relief.
If you can meet the Wushang expert, then the plan will be half done.
Xiao Tong led her into the opposite room, walked through halls and rooms, and walked for a long time. Until the eyes suddenly opened up, revealing mountains and rivers.
Between the mountains and rivers, there is another small courtyard, which occupies a small area, facing the water and enjoying the flowers, it is extremely elegant.
A scholar in sackcloth sat in the courtyard, playing with a strange chessboard, concentrating on it.
The little boy brought her here without even announcing her, he just bowed to the scholar and then withdrew.
Lu Mingshu didn't get a signal, and he couldn't move around at will, so he just sat like that.
The setting sun gradually fell, and the last ray of afterglow was projected on the chessboard.
Mai Xiushi finally exhaled a sigh of relief, threw the pieces in his hand, and the scattered pieces on the chessboard returned to their positions one after another, turning back into an endgame.
He picked up the water glass and took a sip, then looked at Lu Mingshu who was standing still: "You want to see me?"
Lu Mingshu lowered his body and saluted: "Junior Lu Mingshu, I have met Lord Guangling."
The master Wushang, known as Guangling Layman, waved his sleeve lightly, and she stopped bowing down.
"You are not a disciple of Zhouliu Sect, so you don't need to perform this great gift."
Lu Mingshu was silent, and stood up straight: "Yes."
"I've heard about you." Layman Guangling said, "Is this planning to use the card talisman in hand to offset this matter?"
Lu Mingshu said: "This disciple knows very well that the favor of this card talisman may not be so great."
Layman Guangling smiled lightly: "You do have self-knowledge."
The Sanyang Stone is the key to the luck of Zhou Liuzong's faction. How can it be wiped out just because of a small favor.
"So, the disciple is willing to do things for the lord with a period of ten years."
Layman Guangling raised his eyebrows: "There are so many people who want to do things for me, it's not uncommon even if they are empty. Your condition is not to give a profit, but to make a profit."
Lu Mingshu pointed to his chessboard: "What if this disciple can solve this game?"
"Oh?" Layman Guangling was really curious now, he pushed the chessboard, "Then you have a try."
"Yes."
Lu Mingshu walked to the chessboard and stared at the chessboard for a long time, but there was no move.
Layman Guangling didn't urge her, just drank his tea in a calm and clear manner, and even boiled a pot of water.
After drinking the tea for the second time, Lu Mingshu started to settle down. She moved very quickly, one after another, almost without thinking.
The chessboard was gradually filled, and Layman Guangling, who had been sweeping casually at first, became more and more dignified, and stared at the chessboard without moving.
When the last chess piece fell, Lu Mingshu folded his fists and lowered his body: "This game has been broken, please check and see."
Layman Guangling has been staring at it just now, and there is still need to check. Looking up at her at this moment, there was something inexplicable in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be so talented in numerology."
Lu Mingshu still replied flatly: "I don't dare, it's just that I'm better than ordinary people."
