The battle ended quickly, in fact, it could have ended even faster. The Immortal Sword Intent's crushing power over the Nine Swords Intent was no mere talk. Lu Bei let up a little out of respect for his predecessors.
You have to gain experience and perform well, otherwise next time when others come, you will be the one who suffers if they are passive and lazy.
It's to gain experience, and it won't be bad if you add some acting skills.
The battle ended with a cup of tea. There was still a long time before the two hours of interrogation. Lu Bei waved his hand and sprinkled green light, which attached to the bodies of seven people. After their injuries were mostly healed, he took out wine and tea and served them.
Oh, and there are also a few Sanqing Peak specialty roast geese. He has been studying the secondary profession of chef recently and is very interested in cooking.
"My dear seniors, this place is cold and lonely, and there is no entertainment such as wine and food. Lin has specially prepared some. I hope you will do me the favor and sit down to relieve your worries. Isn't it wonderful?"
The black and white colors surrounded it and turned into a round table with a few chairs.
The seven sword cultivators showed disdain on their faces. They had no idea how many times they had experienced such evil tricks. Instead of wasting time, it would be better to let them go back to sleep.
No one sat down. Lu Bei smiled faintly, waved his hand and took a cup of tea, and drank it first as a respectful gesture.
“Good tea!”
He looked at the few people and said, "To be honest, all the food, drinks and wine were purchased by Lin. If you just watch and don't do anything, you will only save me money. You might as well eat to your heart's content. The more you eat, the more heartache I feel."
"Oh."
Lian Lin smiled wryly, took two steps forward to the table, opened the jar of wine, and drank half of it in gulps.
The water flowed down the slender neck in a delicate path, disappearing into an unknown place, attracting Lu Bei's attention and praising her good drinking capacity.
Lian Lin ignored him and grabbed a roast goose, chewing it with his mouth full of grease. His eating manner was very ungentle, swallowing the goose whole, even the bones.
If a person is good-looking, he or she will look like an immortal even when carrying manure, so this way of eating is a true reflection of one’s nature, unlike those who are ugly, who will look like they are shoveling shit even when playing golf.
The six sword cultivators couldn't bear to watch, and some turned their heads away, or muttered quietly, all of them feeling somewhat helpless.
"Senior Sister Lian is still so greedy."
"I can't help it. It's been an old habit for so many years. I can't get rid of it."
"Well, let her be. She hasn't had a good meal for a long time."
Under Lu Bei's strong watch, Lian Lin cleared the round table, poured the last drop of wine into his mouth, and then moistened the grease with the teapot.
After satisfying her appetite, she was still too lazy to pay attention to Lu Bei. She turned back to her fellow disciples and they started chatting and laughing.
A year ago, Lian Lin thought that she had revealed the information to Lu Bei, but the latter remained unmoved and did not take any action for a whole year.
There is no need to think about it, either he has sided with Qing Gan, or he is Qing Gan's lackey.
People with different ideals cannot work together. It's okay to treat each other to a meal, but there's no need to chat. Apart from fencing, we have no common topics.
When the hour came, Lu Bei clapped his hands to indicate that today's exercise session was over, and respectfully invited the seniors to go back to their small rooms and lie down.
Lian Lin snorted coldly, lay down first, raised his hand and pointed at Zhan Hongqu who was standing stupidly beside him, asking her to bury the Heart-Locking Stone in him.
Being rejected by Lu Bei, Senior Sister Zhan’s methods are average, if she is kidnapped and taken hostage, it will be a lot of fun.
Hence, Lian Lin could only watch angrily as Lu Bei finally came to her side. At the end of her sight, there was a piece of white cloth covering his face.
My chest ached, and my senses fell into silent darkness.
…
Outside Tieshan Prison, in a dark mountain path, a man and a woman were talking in low voices.
After paying for the goods, the man stayed behind to protect the woman while she meditated and digested the food, then they flew towards the main camp one after the other.
"Junior Brother Lu, tomorrow..."
"Just wait, Senior Sister Zhan. I will come to find you tomorrow. As I said before, be careful and don't let Elder Zhan find out about our relationship."
"Father won't know."
The two of them didn't know that while they were talking in a low voice, there was a pair of eyes secretly watching them. They suppressed their anger and almost rushed out with swords drawn several times.
Behead Le Xian.
The void twisted, and Zhan Lexian, with a dark face and his hands and feet as stiff as a stone man, walked out step by step with bangs.
He saw it all and heard it all.
During this period, Zhan Lexian was filled with anger and eager to vent it. He wanted to rush out several times, but he endured it for the sake of Zhan Hongqu's face.
Lu Bei is extremely thick-skinned and doesn't care if he is caught, but his daughter is thin-skinned, so some things can only be discussed in private.
When Zhan Hongqu said "Father won't know", Zhan Lexian felt as if struck by lightning, as if a basin of cold water was poured over him, and his whole body felt cold, and his anger subsided.
Bang!
Zhan Lexian slapped himself in the face so hard that his face was crooked.
He didn't blame Zhan Hongqu. His good daughter was simple-minded and fell into Lu Bei's trap. He only blamed himself for not caring enough about his daughter, and even more so, blamed himself for being stupid and making a big mistake.
While telling Zhan Hongqu to stay away from Lu Bei, he also asked her to keep an eye on him and strictly guard Lu Bei from getting close to the eastern mining area.
It was his own contradiction that harmed his daughter.
"No, I have to ask clearly, what despicable tricks did that kid use, and why did Hongqu obey him?"
"God has eyes, red yeast rice must not be tainted by that kid..."
"You bastard, if he dares, I'll chop him up!"
Zhan Lexian regretted it so much that he should never have done that. When Lu Bei showed up in Shuizeyuan, he should have chased him away on the spot.
This is not a question of whether he can beat his father or not, nor is it a question of whether he dares to beat his father or not. As a father, Zhan Lexian feels deeply derelict in his duty and regrets it beyond words.
But first, he had to confirm one thing.
Zhan Lexian walked towards the prison gate with a sullen face, used the token to open the passage, and nodded slightly when he saw the two guards.
"How long did that man and woman stay here?"
"Same as yesterday, less than two hours."
"… "
"Elder Zhan, they hold the token and come here to interrogate the prisoner under your order. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's Zhan's intention."
Zhan Lexian's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Zhan Hongqu was in great trouble. To protect his daughter, he decisively admitted it and said calmly, "Zhan gave them the task of interrogating the two of them, but they returned empty-handed. That's why I went there in person."
"Thank you for killing the elder."
"No, it's hard for you two to stay here. When I return to Tianjian Peak, I will definitely find a way to transfer you back in advance."
"Thank you, Elder Zhan." x2
Zhan Lexian nodded and walked into the passage calmly.
On the first, second and third floors, his steps became faster and faster. When he arrived at the entrance of the fourth floor, he raised his hand to touch the stone platform and closed his eyes to sense it.
“!@%…”
A refined and fragrant sentence burst out from his mouth, and Zhan Lexian was furious, because the key to open the fourth-floor door was actually his elder sword.
Now that the mud has fallen into my crotch, it’s either something or something.
"Damn you, you bastard! You deserve to be killed, you have evil intentions, you even plotted against me!!"
Zhan Lexian was so angry that his hands and feet were shaking. He took out the Great Power and opened the door directly, then quickly walked to several single rooms.
The Demon-Suppressing Stone was holding it down steadily, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but there was a tinge of something in the air...
The smell of greasy roast goose was so distinct and prominent in the dark prison, like a firefly in the night, hard to ignore.
Following the smell, Zhan Lexian came to the single room with the strongest smell. Looking at Lian Lin, who was lying motionless under the Demon-Suppressing Stone, his eyelids twitched again.
"It's you..."
"Senior Sister Lian."
If possible, Zhan Lexian didn't want to meet Lian Lin, but this matter was of great importance and he had to get to the bottom of it.
The prison door opened, Zhan Lexian formed a sword with his fingers, and the sword lightly tapped the demon-suppressing stone, slowly uncovering the white cloth on Lian Lin's face.
There were still greasy stains at the corners of his mouth, and a smell of alcohol.
Mm, it smells pretty good.
He hesitated for a moment, then pointed down again, and then he clenched his five fingers in the air, holding a heart-locking stone in his palm.
The flesh and blood heart beat vigorously. Lian Lin opened his eyes and saw that the person coming was Zhan Lexian. He sneered, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Junior Brother Zhan. What's the matter that you condescended to come here today? Could it be that you have won the merit of following the dragon and came here to show off?"
After saying that, Lian Lin turned his head to look to the side, and made his decision with one word.
"roll!"
Zhan Lexian's eyelids twitched. This was the reason why he didn't want to see Lian Lin. The trauma left behind in his childhood made him completely helpless against his senior sister, and he wouldn't even talk back when she scolded him.
"Senior sister, I..."
“Snoring! Snoring—”
"Senior Sister, did that boy just invite you to dinner?"
Zhan Lexian didn't take it seriously and said in a deep voice: "It was the same yesterday. He..."
"Wait, you said yesterday... wasn't it a year ago?"
Lian Lin suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted Zhan Lexian, saying coldly, "How much time has passed? He said a year ago, and you said a day ago. Is it fun to play tricks on a prisoner like me?"
"Junior brother doesn't dare."
Zhan Lexian took a half step back, thinking that he was now the Nine Swords Elder, and walked back to where he was: "Senior sister must have been deceived by him. That guy is as cunning as a ghost, and he doesn't tell the truth. Really, you can't trust him no matter who you are."
"interesting."
Lian Lin was amused: "You two are really interesting. He came to persuade them to surrender, and you came to sabotage them. The Tianjian Sect is becoming more and more incomprehensible."
Persuade to surrender
What does "persuasion to surrender" mean literally
Zhan Lexian was slightly stunned, and after sorting out the clues, he soon discovered the mastermind behind the scenes.
Jingji!
Yes, it must have been Jing Ji who secretly instructed Lu Bei to persuade his fellow disciples to change their minds...
He said he was coming to help, but he was fooled by this kid again!
Referring to the personalities of the two sinister people, Lu Bei and Jing Ji, Zhan Lexian quickly deduced the whole story and secretly cursed Jing Ji for being so audacious and daring to tell anything. This bastard named Lu is both a member of the Huangji Sect and the Xuanyin Division. Telling him his secrets would be tantamount to seeking death.
But soon, Zhan Lexian reacted.
Jing Ji is cautious and cunning, and is by no means a fool. The fact that he dares to tell Lu Bei the truth shows that Lu Bei is trustworthy.
"MD, this guy is actually one of us!"
Zhan Lexian cursed loudly, and said angrily: "How many times has he lied to me? Will it ever stop? Is this really interesting?"
Looking at the furious Zhan Lexian, Lian Lin cursed him for being sick. She licked the grease on her lips and smacked her lips, "Elder Zhan, please ask the people who persuaded me to surrender to continue tomorrow. Just say that my will is not firm enough and I will surrender after eating a few more tables."
"Senior sister, that person..."
The scene was too familiar, and Zhan Lexian subconsciously reminded him: "This bastard has lost all conscience and is lustful. He is definitely not a gentleman. You'd better stay away from him."
Thinking of the open-heart surgery, Lian Lin's face darkened: "Well, I agree with this point. He is indeed a little pervert."
"What, what did he do to you?!"
