"A letter from my disciple is fine, but..."
Lin Buyan said with a serious face: "People who practice cultivation should avoid debts of favor the most. This is called karma. If there is a cause, there must be an effect. If the Lu family takes this letter to my disciple, my kind-hearted disciple will end up being killed."
"What does Sect Leader Lin want?"
Jing Ji didn't waste any words and asked directly.
Lin Buyan smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, my disciple Bai Jin has been in seclusion recently, and she is expected to reach the fusion stage within two years. Unfortunately, this master is not motivated, and I can't find a good sword that matches her even after searching the whole mountain gate. Elder Jing, look at this..."
"Take care of it."
Jing Ji didn't say a word, and took out an elder's sword on the spot, and offered it with both hands with blood dripping from his heart. He had just picked up this sword recently, and the previous one was given to Lu Bei, and this one was not even warm yet.
Even so, Jing Ji felt that he had not lost out. He knew in his heart that if he asked for a price from Lu Bei, he would only lose more.
"How can this be? I am so sorry. I would like to thank you on behalf of my disciple."
Lin Buyan grabbed the elder's sword with such speed that Jing Ji wondered if this fellow had already reached the fusion stage.
When it comes to taking money to do things, Sect Leader Lin is very professional and has a high level of professionalism. He chuckled, asked Jing Ji to wait there for a while, and personally led the Red Song to Wuwang Peak.
Jing Ji also wanted to go, but was rejected by Lin Buyan. The reason was simple: Bai Jin was in seclusion and Wuwang Peak was a girl's boudoir, so it was not appropriate for Jing Ji to go there.
…
Outside Wuwang Peak, Lin Buyan sent a message to Bai Jin, asking him to close the door quickly and suppress his cultivation so as not to give Zhan Hongqu any clues.
Bai Jinshang didn't know why Zhan Hongqu suddenly came. After receiving Lin Buyan's message, he smiled slightly and didn't care. He didn't suppress his cultivation and met Zhan Hongqu openly.
If it was Senior Sister Zhan, she wouldn't say much to outsiders.
Just as Bai Jin expected, Zhan Hongqu was stunned for a moment, pretending nothing had happened and had no intention of telling Jing Ji.
From this, it can be seen that if Lu Bei had not interfered, these two would have ended up in a lesbian relationship for many years.
"What, Junior Brother captured and killed Uncle in Xianzhou?"
Upon hearing what Zhan Hongqu said, Bai Jin was shocked and said that it was a misunderstanding and asked Zhan Hongqu not to take it to heart. She said that she would go to Ningzhou in person.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Zhan Hongqu glanced outside the room and said, "Sect Master Lin is worried that Junior Brother Lu will take advantage of his privilege and take the opportunity to say something to Junior Sister Bai... As a second choice, Junior Sister will write a letter to me and I will take it to Ningzhou."
What the head master said makes sense!
Bai Jin agreed with this deeply and nodded repeatedly in her heart. Yes, if she met Lu Bei on this trip, the latter would most likely come up with some new tricks to drag her deeper and deeper into the abyss.
These days, I have finally managed to dispel the distracting thoughts in my mind. If they happen again, I am really afraid that there will be no chance of turning things around.
Thinking of this, Bai Jin felt lucky that this time, his senior sister stood on the side of the master.
Then, Bai Jin picked up a pen and wrote a letter. Zhan Hongqu leaned forward to read it, but she moved away and blocked his view. He could only see that he wrote quickly and eloquently, as if he had written a long essay.
The letter was sealed and hidden in a jade slip. Bai Jin added a restriction before handing it to Zhan Hongqu.
Zhan Hongqu had a strange look on his face, suspecting that this was actually a love letter. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but Zhan Lexian was in prison, and if he delayed for too long he might be punished. He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he took the letter and said goodbye in a hurry.
After sending Zhan Hongqu away, Bai Jin stood there for a long time without moving. He hung a sign saying "Retreat" in front of the door and went down to practice in peace.
After a year of training, the weak little brother has already mastered the nine swords, and she...
Thinking about the slow progress in his cultivation recently, Bai Jin couldn't help but think of going to find Lu Bei. Once you taste some sweetness, you can't stop.
"Don't make the same mistake again. Don't think like that again."
As for Zhan Hongqu, after getting the letter written by Bai Jin, he and Jing Ji immediately went to Ningzhou, and then...
It was a failure.
Lu Bei is neither in Jiuzhu Mountain nor in Dongwang County. No one knows where he has gone.
—
Yizhou, Changming Prefecture.
Lu Bei skillfully climbed over the wall into the yard and walked towards the bathroom.
He was killing monsters just fine when he suddenly received a message from Zhu Qilan, saying that he had something important to discuss with him and asked him to rush to Changming Prefecture as quickly as possible.
What could be a big deal if my cousin invited me? Either we practice cultivation together or we practice cultivation together.
Lu Bei thought about it and decided to take some time out of his busy schedule to go there. Dual cultivation was impossible, so he advised his cousin to give up the idea and just wait in line at the back. When Senior Sister had eaten her fill of meat and Sister She had drunk her fill of soup, it would be her turn.
Don't be ungrateful. Love is a matter of first come first served. Even someone as gentle as Master Zhao wants to pick up some leftovers, but he hasn't decided whether to oblige the other party.
"Master Lu, here."
As soon as he reached the bathroom door, Lu Bei was stopped by Housekeeper Yu. He stopped rubbing his hands and asked in confusion, "Why, my cousin called me over here, isn't it to accompany me to take a bath?"
Bah, what are you thinking!
Housekeeper Yu rolled her eyes at Lu Bei. Not to mention that there was no bath, even if there was, she, as a maid, would be the one to test the water temperature first. It didn't make sense for the princess to be the first to go.
The rules in the palace were a little complicated, and Housekeeper Yu didn't plan to explain them to Lu Bei. When the time came, he could just sit back and enjoy the ride, and leave the rest to her.
"Two distinguished guests have come to the mansion. They are your highness's relatives and they want to meet you." Butler Yu said as he led the way.
"Ah, this..."
Lu Bei took a half step back. He was not mentally prepared to meet his parents suddenly. He smiled innocently, "Uncle and aunt came so suddenly. I feel embarrassed to come empty-handed. Sister Yu, please wait. I'll go to the street to buy two pounds of pork and be back soon."
"Where did the uncle and aunt come from? And two pounds of pork... I advise you to put more thought into it, otherwise His Highness will be unhappy." Butler Yu grabbed Lu Bei's sleeve, fearing that he would run away.
"But I'm poor!"
Lu Bei shook his sleeves and took out a few silver notes. Except for one note of fifty taels, the rest were all in denominations of ten taels.
And this fifty taels was earned in Qunxiangyuan.
“You’ll be rich soon.”
Steward Yu pointed in the direction of the banquet hall, then looked around and whispered on tiptoe, "Don't be afraid to spend money when the time comes. His Highness will bring back double the amount you give him. It's worth it."
I see. Then I will move a Tianjian Peak over there.
Lu Bei chuckled, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he lifted the chin of the undercover agent and kissed her on the face.
Teng!
Butler Yu pushed Lu Bei away with a red face, glared at him with shame and anger, and told him the identities of the two guests.
Huangji Sect, Grand Elder Zhu Heng, and Elder Zhu Wenlan.
"Grand Elder..."
Lu Bei frowned, guessing something in his mind.
The Great Elder Zhu Heng was also born into a royal family in his early years. He devoted himself to the cultivation of immortals in Huangji Sect and achieved great success. Then he went astray along with Huangji Sect and gave up the clan's generation name, leaving only the character "Heng".
Elder Zhu Wenlan was his daughter, and he treated her as the apple of his eye, taking good care of her and loving her to the extreme, even asking for a title of princess for her.
That’s right, Zhu Wenlan is the first wife of Zhu Yi, the best of the Zhu family, and Zhu Heng is the great elder who dreams of cutting his son-in-law into pieces.
Because Zhu Heng has reached the fusion stage and usually doesn't sleep, he has fewer dreams, so Zhu Yi is able to survive and has not been killed in a dream so far.
This is not just talk. In the fusion stage, Zhu Heng has unpredictable magical powers and many methods like an immortal. He can really kill people in his dreams.
Zhu Wenlan is Zhu Qilan's eighth aunt. She is kind and beautiful, and takes good care of the younger generation. In the early years, she asked for the practice method of Shanggong Shijue for Zhu Qilan. Later, she learned that Zhu Qilan was abandoned to Yizhou by the clan and was helpless. She helped a lot and asked Zhu Heng to be a guarantor, and found a position of commander for Zhu Qilan.
Standard real power, enough benefits and benefits.
Zhu Qilan was puzzled by her Eighth Aunt's taste in choosing men. She couldn't understand what was going on in the imperial mausoleum that left so much smoke after burning Zhu Yi. However, she had great faith in Zhu Wenlan, and regarded his status among the elders as second only to the empress dowager.
Zhu Wenlan wanted to see Lu Bei, and Zhu Qilan immediately asked the dead man to roll over and pay homage to the elder without saying a word.
This was Zhu Heng's idea. He got information from the commander-in-chief of Xianzhou. The great elder wanted to give it a try. Was there a possibility of spending some money to buy Zhan Lexian home to disgust the Tianjian Sect
If it succeeds, that's good, but if it doesn't, that doesn't matter either. The elders of the Tianjian Sect have clearly marked the price, and the purpose of humiliation has been achieved.
…
Banquet hall.
Lu Bei walked in quickly under the guidance of Butler Yu. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Qilan sitting upright. Her usual icy expression that kept people away was different from her usual expression of being well behaved.
Beside Zhu Qilan, there is a beautiful woman in palace dress with an elegant temperament. Time has washed away her purity, but left her charm, like a gurgling stream flowing into a river. She no longer has the cheerfulness and lightness, but has a tranquility that radiates from the inside out.
There was nothing much to say about her figure. After all, she was an elder. Lu Bei didn't look at her for long. In terms of appearance...
It's just okay, but very average compared to Fox Three.
As for the great elder Zhu Heng who was sitting alone with a teacup in his hand, Lu Bei's peripheral vision took him in. He seemed to be in good health and it would be no problem for him to live another hundred years.
"What are you still standing there for? Come here."
Zhu Qilan snorted coldly and called the silly-looking Lu Bei to her side. Then she lowered her head and turned to Zhu Wenlan: "That's him. He's just average. He's busy all day long, but he doesn't get anything done. He's just busy doing nothing."
Zhu Wenlan raised her sleeves and smiled. The beautiful woman was moved for a moment. She looked up at Lu Bei with a smile in her eyes. "Auntie thinks he's good. He's more promising than your eighth uncle. He's just average in ability."
Zhu Qilan agreed deeply with this statement and nodded in front of Zhu Wenlan without any hesitation.
On the other side, the great elder Zhu Heng also nodded: "He has no ability at all. No one in the world, except you, treats him as a treasure... Oh, not entirely. Many fools are like you, and their eyes are blind."
Zhu Wenlan rolled his eyes at his father and walked up to Lu Bei with a smile. The fragrance filled his face, making him subconsciously take a step back.
Zhu Qilan glared at him, Lu Bei sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth, straightened his chest and raised his head, and took a step forward.
"Good boy, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-one."
"So young... Coincidentally, Lan'er is only in her early twenties this year."
Lu Bei: (a`′a)
You have too much hair!
