There is no unsolvable hatred in the world. If there is, it must be because the money is not enough.
When he heard Zhu Xun said he wanted more money, Lu Bei decisively put aside his personal grudges and generously said that he would not hold his sister-in-law accountable for the sneak attack on his chest with her fist.
This is the only time. It won’t happen again.
Hearing such shameless remarks, Xia Yuechan was so angry that she trembled and glared at her husband, blaming him for giving such bad advice.
Zhu Xun felt deeply aggrieved and Xia Yuechan was angry. He was still wondering, they had clearly confirmed through eye contact that he was one of their own, so how could he become a gentleman

Zhu Xun and Xia Yuechan showed up because they had to do their duty for the Huangji Sect.
As someone who also works within the system, Lu Bei expressed his understanding. In the previous battle, both sides had exercised restraint and no one had the intention of killing anyone.
Once the misunderstanding is resolved, the price can be negotiated.
Lu Bei did not make things difficult for Zhu Xun and his wife. After politely asking for some resources, he also tactfully mentioned that he also had a dual cultivation partner.
The skill of Yin-Yang Separation Technique was already acquired, but Lu Bei did not want to free up a temporary skill slot for it, so he asked for the skill book to practice it separately.
Zhu Xun suddenly realized, smiled and gave Lu Bei a look, then he put his arm around Xia Yuechan's shoulder and secretly stuffed a secret book into his hand.
"Brother, how can this be done? How can a secret technique be passed on so easily?"
Lu Bei held the secret realm tightly, saying that he would not accept the gift without merit, and the gift was really too valuable.
"My dear brother, what you said is a bit too polite."
"No, mainly..."
Halfway through his words, Lu Bei saw the words "Golden Spear 81 Styles" written on the skill book, and immediately turned hostile, pushed the shameless Zhu Xun away, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Mr. Zhu, I have tolerated you for a long time. What kind of rubbish is this? It's filthy and disgusting. Is this what I want?"
Being insulted again, Lu Bei was quite indignant. He put away the secret book and punched Zhu Xun in the backhand.
"My dear brother, what are you doing? Even if you are just letting go of me, you are still turning against me too quickly."
Zhu Xun vomited two ounces of blood and waved his hand to drive away Xia Yuechan who was about to come forward. Everything was under control, so women shouldn't come and make trouble.
"What Lu lacks is a dual cultivation method. I want a proper one, the kind where the auras are connected, not the kind that is connected!"
"My dear brother, what you said is wrong. As a person who has experienced this, I can tell you very clearly that no matter how serious the dual cultivation method is, it will become unserious in the end."
Zhu Xun sighed: "It's either you or her. Anyway, one of them must be not serious first."
Lu Bei: “…”
It's well-founded and cannot be refuted.
Zhu Xun laughed twice more and handed over a skill book of 'Yin Yang Separation Technique': "I understand what you mean, brother. Take this book back and practice it well. As for the specific situation, I can only say that it is wonderful. You and your sister-in-law should practice well and you will definitely gain something."
In order to prevent Zhu Xun from bringing out some messy and obscene books and magazines to distract him, Lu Bei subconsciously flipped through a few pages. After reading them, he felt that he had learned a lot.
In addition, the paintings are so exquisitely crafted that they can be regarded as the supreme treasure of the art world.
The two skill books are not directly related, but unexpectedly they can be used at the same time. From this point of view, Zhu Xun did not give the wrong thing in the first place.
So the question is, when will the senior sister open her boudoir to him
Congratulations on getting two skill books, Lu Bei looked at Zhu Xun with a smile, the benefits were gained, the next thing was experience.
Zhu Xun was frightened by the malicious look, and he quickly retreated to his wife's side, saying in a timid tone, "Brother, you should keep your word. I have already increased the money."
"Of course, I will keep my word and will not embarrass you two for the money, but..."
Lu Bei rubbed his hands and said, "You two have returned empty-handed. It's hard to explain to the Council of Elders. It's also hard to ask for travel expenses to the West King's Mansion. I will bear the hardship and help you two."
"…" x2
You are such a petty person. X2
Zhu Xun and Xia Yuechan were unaware that Lu Bei coveted their experience in defeating them. They just thought that this man was petty and still brooding over his previous stance.
The small world dissipated, and the golden light went far away in the direction of Xiwang County.
Xia Yuechan stood up with difficulty. Zhu Xun came over with a smug look on his face to help her, but she kicked him away.
"Go away, I'm annoyed just by looking at you."
"You've been annoyed for so many years, aren't you annoyed enough?"
Zhu Xun whispered, then turned around and found that not only he and his wife, but also several guest officials who were accompanying them were released by Lu Bei.
They just looked a bit miserable, with everyone injured and looking very embarrassed, especially the demon cultivator who had just taken on a human form. Zhu Xun had to use the process of elimination to recognize him.
"It's OK. This guy is quite open-minded. Maybe he doesn't have big intentions, but he really does the job after receiving the money."
Zhu Xun sighed and said happily, "Madam, let's go back quickly and report today's events to the Council of Elders without missing a word. Then we can wait and see the show."
"You said, is Zhan Lexian of the Tianjian Sect dead?"
"Definitely not."
Zhu Xun said confidently: "This kid is as cunning as a devil. He seems lawless, but he abides by the rules more than anyone else. How could he offend the Tianjian Sect? If my guess is correct, Elder Zhan is living a better life than anyone else."
"Then, given his personality, the highest bidder will win. Can our Huangji Sect buy Zhan Lexian?"
“Hiss—”
Zhu Xun took a deep breath and exclaimed: "Madam, this is a great plan!"
"Can it be done?"
"Of course not."
…
On the other hand, Lu Bei flew directly to Xiwang County. The chief steward and the chief commander of Huangji Sect were also not in the plan, but compared to beheading Le Xian, these two people must not be detained, let alone kidnapped and extorted.
Not only that, he had to give face and return the guest officials intact to Zhao.
He circled above the Western Prince's Mansion to make his presence felt, then turned and headed straight for the Xuanyinsi government office in Xianzhou.
I have a painting in my hand, and I would like to ask the local Ziwu Ziwei to appraise it and see whether it is an authentic work of the current emperor.
He had no other intentions, he was simply sharing a masterpiece by a famous artist, but after reading it, Quewu misunderstood that he had other intentions, so he couldn't do anything about it.
After a cup of tea, Lu Bei left the Xuanyinsi government office in Xianzhou. Quewu accompanied him all the way to the door. He was a smart man and knew why Lu Bei made a special trip to see him.
Everything is self-explanatory, but it's a pity that I can't go to the West Palace for meals often in the future.
—
Ningzhou, Dongwang County.
Xuanyinsi temporary government office and underground palace prison.
Lu Bei threw out a large piece of chain and pointed at the unconscious captives, "Guan Guan, if the suspect escapes, I will take your people's heads."
A group of errand boys stepped forward and followed routine procedures, shackled and pierced the prisoners' collarbones, and locked them up in small cells one by one.
Without success.
Among this group of captives, two are in the fusion stage, and the rest are in the refining void stage. The specially made torture instruments of the Xuanyin Division are powerless against them. If they really want to lock them up in prison, they have to be sent to the Xuanyin Division headquarters in the capital.
Lu Bei didn't say much. He took out the Shuangxuan treasure map, temporarily arranged the Yin-Yang Five Elements formation diagram, and tied up the captives one by one with chains.
"Second brother, who are these idlers? There are too many of them... Hey, there is a sword locked here?"
Fox Three stroked his chin and examined them one by one. Princess Zhu Qiming was an acquaintance since he had been to the palace twice, and West King Zhu Qi had detailed information about him. He could recognize them at a glance, but the others were a little vague.
"Let me introduce you to Big Brother."
Lu Bei pointed at Gu Zixin and the other two and said, "These three are the leaders of Duyun Villa, Ziguang Sword Sect, and Jinglei Sect. They are in cahoots with the West Palace. Each of them is at the Refining Void Realm. They attacked the officials of the imperial court. Even I, who am loyal to the emperor and love my country, captured them on the spot."
"So it was the three of them..."
Fox Three looked at Lu Bei speechlessly: "This is different from what we agreed on. Why did you bring him back?"
"Bring him back and let big brother whip him a few times to relieve his sexual desire." Lu Bei said with a serious face.
“Loyalty!”
Hu San nodded with satisfaction. As expected of him, he could find his target among the crowd at a glance and recognized him as a good brother.
"These are cultivators from the West King's Palace. They all have the surname Zhu. They are most likely relatives of the West King. They attacked the imperial officials and were captured by me on the spot."
At this point, Lu Bei glanced at Hu San and said, "Bring him back and give him a couple of lashes."
“Exquisite!”
Fox Three nodded repeatedly. Although his brother usually had a bad mouth, he really helped his elder brother when he was in trouble.
“This one is incredible.”
Lu Bei pointed at Zhu Jingting and said, "Zhu Jingting from the Western Palace is the most important person in the file. I invited him to Ningzhou as a guest. I am not afraid that the Western Palace will refuse to pay."
"Ah, this..."
Hu San's scalp tingled when he heard this. It was clearly written in the file that Zhu Jingting was at the fusion stage and was very powerful, so he should not be easily made an enemy. When making the plan, he repeatedly reminded Lu Bei that if he could defeat the enemy, he should fight, and if he couldn't, he should run away. There was no need to fight to the death, as Zhu Qiming was enough.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bei not only knocked the guy down, but also brought him back.
For a moment, Fox Three sighed repeatedly. He had been mean-spirited in the past. Now that his brother treated him like this, his mother would definitely not drive him to the woodshed after a hundred years.
"My second brother has successfully completed the task and even exceeded the quota... Hey, who is this person? Are there other masters in the West Palace?"
Fox Three pointed at Zhan Lexian, who had his eyes closed and his head lowered, with his black hair covering his face and looking rather disheveled. However, his aura as a master should not be underestimated, and was by no means comparable to Gu Zixin and the others.
It's like a magic weapon in its sheath, when it's unsheathed, there will be mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"This person has a great background."
Lu Bei exclaimed: "His name is Zhan Lexian, he holds the divine sword Daweitian, and is ranked among the nine swords. He is an elder of the Tianjian Sect and a real power holder."
“Ahem…”
Hu San was stunned for a long while, his breathing gradually became short, and he couldn't catch his breath. He coughed so hard that tears came out. He grabbed Lu Bei's arm and said, "Second Brother, you are crazy. I asked you to go to the West Palace to seek justice, but how did you catch the elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect? This... this... someone come quickly, untie Elder Zhan."
The Iron Sword Alliance intends to rebel and restore the former Qingqian Dynasty. Hu San is one of the few people who know about it.
Precisely because he knew it clearly, he knew even more clearly that Zhan Lexian must not be captured, at least not now. If one move is linked to another, the entire body will be affected. If the Tianjian Sect misunderstood something and rebelled prematurely, catching the Huangji Sect off guard, Lu Bei would definitely be in trouble.
"Brother, don't do this!"
Lu Bei slapped Hu San's dirty hands away, and the two looked into each other's eyes, full of righteousness: "This man is the umbrella of the West Palace. If he is not arrested, the West Palace will not bow its head."
"But you provoked..."
"As long as Big Brother can vent his anger, I don't care what happens." Lu Bei said firmly.
"My dear brother!"
Fox Three's eyes turned red, and he patted Lu Bei's shoulder hard, saying nothing more. Not to mention living in the woodshed in the future, he would accept being a mount.
