In the wilderness, Lu Li ran wildly with the land gazelle on his back. He didn't feel anything just now, but now Lu Li felt cold all over. He killed three people. This was his first time killing people, and he felt a little dizzy.
Lu Ling did not persuade him. Any warrior must go through this test, and Lu Li needed to resolve the knot in his heart. In fact, although Lu Ling always behaved very calmly, she was still a weak woman after all, and it was difficult to calm down inside.
The two siblings ran wildly along the mountain road in silence. The road was indeed very safe. They ran for more than twenty miles without encountering any mysterious beasts.
"Let's rest for a while. There is a river over there. Go and change your clothes. Otherwise, how can we get to Wuling City?"
Lu Ling suddenly spoke. Lu Li came to his senses and ran towards the river. He put down Lu Ling by the river, picked up cold water and rubbed his face several times.
Lu Ling took out a clean robe from the package, handed it over and said softly: "Do you feel uncomfortable? This is a process that must be experienced on the road to martial arts, and it is so cruel in the Northern Desert. Once you step into the door of martial arts, you cannot look back. . Either the sky will rise, or the bones will be buried in the wilderness, you have no choice. If you don’t kill them today, we will die!”
Lu Li took a long breath, turned around and forced a smile to his sister, nodded and said, "Sister, I understand, you don't have to worry about me."
Lu Li took off his robe, jumped into the river and washed it, then took the robe and put it on. Lu Ling wiped off the small amount of blood on her body, turned her gaze to the northwest and said, "Let's go to Wuling City as soon as possible. It will be much safer in the city."
Di Ba and the others were far outside the Ice Abyss. Even if they received the news and pursued them immediately, they would not be able to catch up in a short time. Of course, it is better to be careful. Di Ba is now the outer elder of the Zhao family and must go to Wuling City immediately to join the Liu family.
The Liu family is the overlord of Wuling City. If Lu Li joins the Liu family, Di Ba will be worried about him even if he wants to move him. Besides, Lu Li will be able to awaken his bloodline and cultivate his profound strength soon, and will definitely be valued by the Liu family. Di Ba will not dare to cause trouble for him unless he wants to be hunted down by the Liu family.
Lu Li felt slightly relieved when he thought of this, and quickly ran with his sister on his back. It was safe along the way, and there were no mysterious beasts. It seemed that the beast tide had been almost suppressed.
…
Wuling City was a hundred miles away from the Dilong tribe, and the mountain road was difficult to walk. Fortunately, Lu Li was very fast, and he only reached the outside of the city in the afternoon with the land antelope on his back.
Lu Li has been to Wuling City many times. In the past, he hunted wild beasts and obtained spiritual materials to sell in Wuling City, so he was quite familiar with Wuling City.
Wuling City is a county town, with jurisdiction over a dozen small towns, nearly a hundred tribes, and a population of one million within a thousand miles. The city is very large, covering an area of ten miles. There is a towering city wall outside, and there are city guards on the city wall at the moment, wearing the Liu family's black armor, majestic.
There were several city guards outside the city gate, checking people coming in and out. Lu Li put his sister down, held Lu Lu's hand and walked towards the city.
"etc!"
Lu Ling took out the white gauze from the package and covered her face. Her beautiful face had brought her trouble, and her legs were lame because of it. She didn't want to cause trouble when she came to Wuling City.
"stop!"
Two sergeants came over, looked at Lu Li with wary eyes and said, "Why do you have such a strong smell of blood on you?"
Although he had been cleaned, the smell of blood on Lu Li's body was still very strong. These guards had been walking on the edge of the knife all year round, and he could feel it as soon as he smelled it.
Lu Li cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I killed a few wild beasts on the way and got some blood. My name is Lu Li. Lord Liu Wu and Miss Yi both know me. This knife was given to me by Miss Yi and the others. "
Lu Li handed over the sword in his hand. The soldiers took a look and put their guard down. The sword had the Liu family's mark on it. If Lu Li could name the names of Liu Wu and Miss Yi, it seemed there would be no problem.
Lu Li put away his sword, thought for a while and asked, "Sir, is Miss Yi in the city? She asked me to come to Wuling City to find her."
"Miss Yi?"
The guard frowned and shook his head: "Miss Yi took people to the Ice Abyss yesterday, not in the city."
"Oops~"
Lu Li's expression changed. Miss Yi was not here, how could he join the Liu family? If he doesn't join the Liu family, Di Ba and his men come to chase him. How can he resist
"Let's go to the city first."
Lu Ling spoke softly, and Lu Li could only lead her towards the city. After entering the city, Lu Ling said: "You can't use force in Wuling City. This is the rule set by the Liu family. The city is safe. But... let's go to the Liu family first. If we can join the Liu family immediately, that would be the best."
Lu Li of the Liu family knew where it was, in the largest mansion in the middle of the city. He nodded and led Lu Ling forward quickly. Lu Ling walked for a moment and spoke again: "Lu Li, if you can join the Liu family, you must choose to become the guest minister of the Liu family. You cannot join the outer hall."
"ah?"
Lu Li touched his head, somewhat confused as to what Lu Ling meant.
He still knew a little about big families. The structure of the Liu family, Zhao family, Lu family, and even all the big families in the Northern Desert was similar.
Large families are basically divided into inner halls, outer halls and guest halls.
Neitang is the warrior of his clan, has the most resources and the most power, and is the backbone of the family. The outer hall is composed of strong men recruited from outside. For example, Mr. Hong and many of the Liu family's guards belong to the outer hall. They relied on the Liu family, worked for the Liu family and fought for them, and received corresponding salaries and resources from the Liu family based on their strength, status and military exploits.
There is also the living room, which is full of guests. They belong to this family in name, but they can move very freely. Normally, there is no need to do anything for the family, only at critical moments.
However, the status of guest ministers in major families is very low, and the resources and salaries they can get are very few, unless they are extremely powerful guest ministers.
Because Ke Qing can enter and leave the family at any time without being restricted or controlled, and can even leave the family at any time and join other families.
Therefore, no family will invest a lot of resources in cultivating a guest. What if he turns around and walks away? What if I join a rival family
The status of Ke Qing in the family is very low. If Lu Li joins the Liu family and becomes Ke Qing, the Liu family will not be able to value Lu Li, let alone train him. Even... if something happens to Lu Li, for example, if Di Ba wants to kill him, the Liu family may not step in to help him.
Lu Li and Lu Ling went on a killing spree in the Dilong tribe and came to Wuling City to seek the Liu family's blessing. Now Lu Ling asked him to become a guest? Why don't you make Lu Li confused
"elder sister… "
Lu Li wanted to explain, but Lu Ling waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say more, I understand your worries. You must remember that any family or force you join in the future can only be a guest minister and cannot join the outer hall. Because - You have more important things to do, and you cannot stay in these family forces for a long time. Also, these small families are not worthy of you serving them."
"Not worthy?"
Lu Li was stunned again, who was he? It would be great if the Liu family wanted him, but Lu Ling actually said he wasn't worthy? The Liu family, the majestic overlord of Wuling City, is actually a small family in Lu Ling's mouth
"Yes, not worthy!"
Lu Ling nodded very seriously. She was silent for a moment and said: "Your status is extraordinary. This small family is not qualified to let you serve. I will tell you the details later. Let's go to the Liu family first."
"Unusual?"
Lu Li rubbed his head, and he didn't understand anymore. However, there were so many people at this moment that he couldn't ask too many questions, so he could only walk forward with doubts in his head.
All the streets in the city are very noisy, because the city is not very peaceful due to the beast tide. However, the strong men of the super family took action, and it was said that the beast tide was suppressed, but there was no chaos in the city.
After walking for half an hour, Lu Li and Lu Ling finally arrived at a luxurious and majestic mansion in the north of the square in the city.
"Go away, no one can come near!"
Lu Li and Lu Ling were poorly dressed and neither of them were warriors. The two Liu family guards at the door immediately shouted out to expel them.
Lu Li walked up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Lu Li, Miss Yi asked me to come to Wuling City to find her. She said she could recommend me to join the Liu family. This is the sword that Miss Yi and the others gave me."
Lu Li handed over the sword. The guard glanced at it, glanced at Lu Li a few more times, waved his hand and said, "Miss Yi is not here. Come back in three days. You can come back in three days."
"Three days?"
Lu Li's expression changed slightly. Is it possible that Di Ba will lead his men to kill Wuling City in three days
