She Xuan didn't go into seclusion after all.
The reason is simple. Zhao Shiran checks in at Sanqing Peak every day, rain or shine, and does not consider himself an outsider at all.
There are many difficult things in the world, except a girl chasing a boy.
She Xuan thought that dripping water can wear away a stone. With Zhao Shiran's perseverance, even if Lu Bei was devoted to his senior sister, it would be difficult to stop the beauty from throwing herself at him. If she really dared to go into seclusion for a year, she would be one generation older when she came out.
By then, horses will run on your head and you will be so angry that you will vomit blood.
It’s better not to close this level!
She Xuan regards Zhao Shiran as her elder sister's enemy and is quite scheming. She is sure that Lu Bei is no match for him.
In fact, Sect Leader Zhao was used to a quiet life and was still ignorant about matters between men and women. His half-understanding was not much better than hers. He was undeterred by rain or shine purely because of the instigation and encouragement of the female practitioners under his tutelage.
A few days ago, Zhao Shiran met Lu Bei and was dragged into various exchanges. After returning to the mountain, he was pulled over by the female cultivators for questioning. He explained the situation truthfully and complained that someone did not know how to be gentle with women. His chest still aches slightly.
The female cultivators were stunned for a moment, and four of them suggested that Lu Bei was a man of steel and did not understand a daughter's heart.
This kind of person is admittedly harder than wood, but once he is tamed, whether he is tied up at home or let out for a walk, there is no need to worry about him committing misconduct.
It is many times better than a dog man.
They advised Zhao Shiran to seize the opportunity, otherwise it would be too late to regret after missing out on such a good opportunity.
Zhao Shiran didn't quite understand, but felt that what the female practitioners said made some sense. He couldn't refuse, so he punched in once a day and brought some snacks he made himself.
She was very happy when they met, but felt lost when they left. She thought it must be love.
Lu Bei welcomed everyone who came. He ate Piaoxiang Pie's special pastries during the day and taught She Yan how to prepare ingredients in the kitchen at night. He occasionally introduced the two of them to each other and encouraged them to increase their curls.
I don't have any other intentions, I just want a chance to prove that I'm a gentleman who can remain calm in the face of temptation.
It may be because he had been traveling a lot recently, or it may be because it was near the end of the year and he didn't want to go out. In any case, he was not indulging in women and secretly happy. Lu Bei had been staying at Sanqing Peak obediently these days and had not gone anywhere.
On the forum, players found that the increase in their values was not as great as before, and complained that the number of people online in the game was increasing, which spoiled the NPCs.
The smart ones put aside their airs and found a decent mountain gate nearby to settle down. The not-so-smart ones just rode a donkey and read the script, joined the novice village, and strived to upgrade quickly. When they reached the foundation-building stage at level 20, they had more choices with the capital.
After enjoying a wave of traffic dividends, Sanqing Peak suddenly attracted a wave of novice players. Due to the expansion, the entire Jiuzhu Mountain became lively.
All the sect leaders were so amused that they couldn't close their legs.
Laugh now, you will cry later.
The sudden influx of newbies caught Lu Bei by surprise. He thought the low period would last at least two months, and he was even ready to make the elixir himself.
But there is one thing Lu Bei is very sure of, the players come here only for experience, they are just passers-by. Once the experience of alchemy cannot satisfy their growing ambitions, even if the leaders of several peaks kneel down and hug their thighs, they will not be able to stop their steps to yearn for the world.
That's good. Both sides get what they need, and Lu Bei has less pressure in cutting.
It's just that the resources are consumed too quickly. It would be better if there was more leniency at the Dashengguan.
Two days ago, Lu Bei received a message from Fox San, flapped his wings, and met him in Hongling County.
Because of his meritorious service, Hu San was promoted. The news had been released that he would be promoted to Purple Guard after the new year. With this promotion, he had a lot of work to hand over. After thinking about it, it was better to give it to his own brother than to give it to an outsider, so he asked Lu Bei if he was interested.
Lu Bei had no interest in undercover work. Although he had a lot of experience, it would take too long. In the end, it would be better to go masked and knock out the Huangji Sect disciples with a club.
But Lu Bei was very interested in the task of arresting wanted criminals. With his agility and speed, as long as he had enough information, he could gain experience for free.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Ningzhou is not Yuezhou where the spiritual practice is powerful. The local cultivators have very average abilities and the fugitives also have low abilities. Even if there are any omissions, they cannot escape the tight net set up by the Xuanyinsi spies.
Some of the ruthless people who came from other places were also dealt with by the Huangji Sect itself, so it was not the Xuanyin Sect's turn to interfere at all.
Lu Bei asked again whether Xuanyin Division had any demand for elixirs, but got a cold eye from Fox San. A spy fears most when his identity is suspected, so he keeps a low profile in his daily travels and avoids making contact if possible. As for distributing elixirs in bulk, does he think it's too slow to be exposed
This is indeed the case. Xuanyinsi and Huangjizong are two completely different organizations. The former belongs to the army and is only responsible to the emperor. When arresting wanted criminals, they often target court officials. It is completely different from Huangjizong's overall management of all major sects.
Lu Bei felt a pain in his chest when he heard that. After rounding it off, he realized that he had lost 50 billion experience points.
When Fox Three saw his second brother’s expression as if his eldest brother had died, he rolled his eyes several times and told Lu Bei not to worry.
It’s just about earning some kickbacks, leave it to him.
Hu San patted his chest and said that he was promoted to Purple Guard, and he was also a big shot in Ningzhou. There were old people who had known each other for many years in the Ningzhou branch of Xuanyin Division. In addition, he and Xuanwei, who was in charge of military intelligence in Wuzhou, were close friends regardless of age. It would not be a problem to capture the elixir supply of the Ningzhou Xuanyin Division military camp.
No matter in which world, making money still depends on connections.
Lu Bei gained some insights, and his spiritual realm was elevated. Since he was a beneficiary, he no longer criticized this materialistic world.
After bidding farewell to Fox Three, Lu Bei calculated the days and asked Zhu's Trading Company to send a message to Zhu Kui, asking him to come in person for the next elixir settlement. There was a business deal to be finalized, and he didn't know how much elixir raw materials would be consumed every month, so he must remember to make preparations in advance.
…
Another two days passed. After Lu Bei sent Zhao Shiran away, he went to the kitchen and taught She Xuan how to prepare the ingredients.
When a master teaches his apprentice, it is inevitable that he will procrastinate.
For example, right now, Lu Bei stood behind She Xuan, with his hands around him, holding both of her hands, his chest pressed tightly against her back. She Xuan didn't take it seriously, as she was used to seeing Lu Bei giving her opportunities but still not being able to do anything, and she didn't think the latter was deliberately taking advantage.
Besides, bigger advantages have been taken before, so this is just the beginning.
"Master, there's someone outside looking for you. He says he's the manager of the Huangji Sect."
"The manager of the Huangji Sect?!"
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and released the hand he was holding, allowing She Xuan to practice cutting vegetables without using any magic.
Without the scorching stove behind her, She Xuan nodded in a low voice. After Lu Bei left, she patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then she easily cooked the ingredients.
"How stupid! I used to live on the edge of a knife. Do you really think I can't learn to cut vegetables?"
At this point, She Xuan's face flushed, and she recalled the scene of the hug just now. She spat lightly, grabbed the golden-scaled snake on her wrist and rubbed it hard.
Snake Sister: (Φ_Φ)
"What? You said that Lu took advantage of me on purpose?"
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
"Impossible. If he could come to his senses, would I have to spend so much effort on him?"
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
"That's not the case. Why would I be angry with a woman named Zhao? I'm just helping him learn to be gentle and considerate. Otherwise, how can he win the heart of Senior Sister?"
"Hiss..."
"Shut up!"
…
In the front yard, two managers from the Huangji Sect exuded an aura that kept people away, and discouraged players who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
"I heard that Huangji Sect is the largest sect in Wu Zhou, and there is a saying that 'As long as Huangji Sect falls, Wu Zhou will not be destroyed'. What is the rank of the Huangji Sect's manager?"
"Who cares? As long as he can't kill the God of Transformation with one move, he's not as powerful as our village chief."
"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the male steward looks serious but is actually a bit sultry? I'm not kidding, he just stole a glance at my H91."
"Do you have eyes on your butt?"
"That's right, I'll be honest, haha, although you are a female account, but you are a hairy man inside, why are people secretly staring at you, asking you where you get your hair removed?"
The player with the ID '爱污及污' said disdainfully: "Besides, that's not called being reserved, that's called inner desire for sex. Don't ask, because I am also such an excellent man."
"I don't believe it. I dare to ask this outstanding male compatriot, do you dare to tell me what your strengths are? If you can name three, you win!"
"Good at thinking, persistent in hobbies, concise, not talkative, and especially good at time management. That's five."
"You like to daydream, you are addicted to games, you have no friends, you lack social interaction, you don't get up during the day and don't sleep at night, you are just a homebody!"
"Oh my god, it's urgent for Sister Li to get up at night!"
Huang He raised his eyebrows suddenly when listening to the local dialect chattering in his ears. It sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
But it doesn't matter. He discovered that the Yuhua Sect had many vixen with good looks. Although he didn't meet the so-called Sect Master Lu, he had already regarded him as a close friend.
It’s a pity that Master Lu’s understanding of beauty is only superficial and he hasn’t grasped the essence.
Being pretty is useless. These little foxes have dry butts and no feminine charm at all. Maybe they will be worth seeing after a few decades.
"Mr. Lu is late. I'm sorry for the long wait, both of you."
Lu Bei clasped his fists and walked out. He saw two managers, a man and a woman. He found that they were all acquaintances. There was no need to say much about Huang He, as they were old friends. As for the other female manager, he had met her once in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. If he remembered correctly, her name was Jiang Lei.
"I'm Huang He, the manager of Ningzhou of Huangji Sect. This is my junior sister Huang Han. Master Lu is honored to meet you." Huang He clasped his fists in return.
Lu Bei: “…”
You changed the name so quickly, you are worthy of being the Huangji Sect.
"Master Lu, is there something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong. We're just old friends meeting each other. I was a little surprised that Mr. Huang suddenly became so distant."
"Mr. Huang..."
The corner of Huang He's eyes twitched. He, Huang, had been a big shot in Ningzhou for many years and had many nicknames in the underworld. Many of his friends called him "Broken Legs" and "Little Yellow Man", but only one person called him "Boss Huang".
That was the shame of Huang He's life, which often woke him up from the brothels and had not been cured until now.
"Sir, you, who are you?"
"Hahaha, Boss Huang, have you forgotten that when we were in Langwu County, you were controlled by the thieves' magic and I couldn't wake you up. I had no choice but to beat you half to death..."
"Hold it, hold it and say it."
