"Nothing, just some physical contact, hugging, kissing and touching."
"… "
Zhan Lexian's face suddenly changed. He thought to himself that he had overestimated Lu Bei's moral integrity. He actually took advantage of Lian Lin being sealed to touch him. He was so bold and had no bottom line at all.
For a moment, Zhan Lexian came up with the idea of secretly releasing Lian Lin. Given Senior Sister Lian's vengeful nature, after suffering such a great humiliation, she would repay him tenfold or a hundredfold if she regained her freedom.
He alone is no match for Lu Bei, and with Lian Lin, maybe...
Maybe I still can't beat him.
Lian Lin has been sealed for too long and her strength has declined significantly. Bringing her along would only hinder us. It would be better for her to fight alone.
Suddenly, Zhan Lexian was thinking and found something wrong. He frowned and looked at Lian Lin: "Senior Sister, you lied to me."
"Oh, Junior Brother, did you see that?"
“That boy is certainly lustful, but with Hongqu watching, he will restrain himself a little. Even if he does something disrespectful, Hongqu will stop him.” Zhan Lexian said firmly. Compared to Lu Bei, his good daughter can be regarded as a moral role model.
"Red yeast rice? Who? That cultivator from the Void Refining Realm standing there stupidly?"
"That's right."
Zhan Lexian nodded and said, "Her surname is Zhan, and she is my junior fellow apprentice's daughter."
"Interesting, Junior Brother actually has a child. I thought you only coveted power in this world, but I didn't expect you to have found your ideal person."
"Adopted."
"I see, asking for mercy and a sword, a tool..."
"no."
Zhan Lexian interrupted quickly and said in a loud voice: "I treat Hongqu as my own daughter. She is my biological daughter."
"I got what I asked for. Congratulations, Junior Brother."
Lian Lin raised his eyebrows and said happily, "She doesn't look very smart. She obeys Lin... Lu's orders. I'm afraid my junior brother's daughter has been raised in vain."
Phew!
Language is the most ruthless weapon in the world, it can kill people without shedding blood. Lian Lin's words pierced Zhan Lexian's heart, causing the latter's face to turn pale, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched with knuckles crackling.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.JPG
With his face covered by a white cloth and his body crushed by a huge rock, Lian Lin fell into a long sleep again.
Zhan Lexian left Tieshan Prison angrily and obtained important information from his senior sister. Lu Bei was not an undercover agent of Huangji Sect/Xuanyin Division stationed in Tiejian League. On the contrary, he was an undercover agent of Tianjian Sect stationed in Huangji Sect/Xuanyin Division. He infiltrated the enemy and successfully gained a certain status.
But because Lu Bei is Jing Ji's man, this good news did not make Zhan Lexian smile, but only made him dislike Lu Bei more and more.
…
"Elder Zhan, do you have something to ask me?"
Outside the Shuizeyuan formation, the sky was just getting light. Zhan Lexian ordered people to summon Lu Bei and pick him out from the crowd.
People who practice Taoism no longer distinguish between day and night. It does not matter whether it is day or night, but the habits they had before they achieved success in their practice are retained. They do daytime things during the day and do shady things at night.
As for how to find Lu Bei in a camp with thousands of sword cultivators, it was simple. Just go to where there were more people. Coincidentally, today, a conflict between two mountain gates escalated, and they were spitting at each other, attracting a large number of onlookers, and Lu Bei was one of them.
"Where did you go last night?"
Zhan Lexian didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point.
"I'm practicing outside the camp. I haven't gone anywhere, alone." Lu Bei replied decisively.
"snort."
Zhan Lexian sneered: "I know you went to the prison and saw the serious criminals imprisoned on the fourth floor, not only last night, but also the night before."
"Elder Zhan, rumors should not be believed. Is there some misunderstanding here? What is the prison you are talking about? There is actually a prison in Shuizeyuan. This is really a rare thing. This is the first time I have heard of it." Lu Bei shook his head repeatedly. Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Even if there is evidence, it must be forged.
Lu Bei was not panicked at all when being caught by Zhan Lexian. With Elder Zhan's love for his daughter, he would not only not make public such a big event as losing his head, but would also actively conceal it.
If you think about it carefully, this is also a kind of whitewashing. Before the chaos, Zhan Lexian leaned close to Wu Zhou and left a way out for himself.
He is a very smart person.
Lu Bei gave Zhan Lexian an admiring look, which made him furious and feel that he was being provoked.
He glanced at Lu Bei coldly, and swung his hand to send down a beam of golden light: "You can go by yourself from now on, don't disturb Hong Qu, she has a bright future, please be kind and give her a chance to live!"
Lu Bei raised his hand to take it. Seeing the pass token, a mature smile appeared on his lips. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Elder Zhan. From now on, I will avoid Senior Sister Zhan."
You said the same thing last time!
Zhan Lexian looked at Lu Bei with a gloomy face, knowing that this man could not be trusted easily, as he broke his promises more often than he ate.
"If there is nothing else, Elder Zhan, please take your time. I will take my leave now."
"Wait a moment."
The moment Lu Bei turned to leave, Zhan Lexian called him down and said after a moment's silence, "My fellow disciples are all stubborn. They would have been persuaded long ago. You have a mission for Jing Ji, and I understand that. But... don't treat them badly. Bring more wine and food tonight."
"???"
A string of question marks crossed Lu Bei's mind, and he felt that Zhan Lexian seemed to have misunderstood something.
A wonderful misunderstanding, hope it lasts.
He did not explain. In order to let Zhan Lexian die in misunderstanding, he clasped his hands and added: "Don't worry, Elder Zhan, I have nothing but respect for the seniors. I will definitely provide you with enough food and wine. As for Elder Jing..."
"What's wrong with him?" Zhan Lexian looked displeased.
"Before leaving, Elder Jing told us that we must keep a low profile on this trip. He planned to give everyone a surprise, and he also promised Lu that if he got the credit, I would get some benefits."
Lu Bei said with a serious face: "So, this matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I know it. Elder Zhan, please don't make sarcastic remarks to Elder Jing. Just be happy in your heart."
"Mr. Lu, can you teach me how to do things?"
Zhan Lexian was so angry that he laughed out loud. Originally, because Zhan Hongqu committed a serious mistake and was bewitched by Lu Bei to become an accomplice, he had no intention of exposing the matter to the public and arguing with Jing Ji. But after hearing what Lu Bei said, he felt sorry but he had to speak out.
As long as Mr. Lu is unhappy, he is happy.
"I dare not. With my status as Lu, how dare I teach Elder Zhan to do things? It's just..."
Lu Bei chuckled and rubbed his hands together. "As for Senior Sister Zhan, you don't want me to continue pestering her, do you?"
"roll!"
…
After driving Lu Bei away, Zhan Lexian felt uncomfortable all over. The scene of Lu Bei serving him tea popped up in his mind, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.
No, absolutely not!
He called Zhan Hongqu who was still on patrol and asked with a long face: "Why were you not in the camp last night? Where did you go? Who were you with?"
The father asked the son three times, but he was at a loss.
Zhan Hongqu's body froze, and he swallowed dryly, "Father, I had a sudden realization last night, and the camp was in a mess, so I went outside the camp to practice alone. There was no one around except me."
Well, you lied to me for him!
The old father felt pain in his chest and said dully, "I just met Lu Bei. He admitted that he went to the prison. You were the one who led him there."
"… "
Zhan Hongqu's eyes widened. The man named Lu was indeed unreliable. Not only did he fall, but he also sold her out.
"Now you understand, that bastard has been lying to you. All those sweet words are obviously lies. He is just using you and doesn't like you at all." Zhan Lexian advised earnestly.
The effect was average. Zhan Hongqu didn't react at all after listening to it, because Lu Bei had said all these words exactly. The two of them were just talking about business, without any emotion involved.
Having said that, facing his old father's grief, Zhan Hongqu lowered his head in shame and continued to be scolded without saying a word.
"You, you are still like this. Every time I talk to you, you lower your head and don't reply."
Zhan Lexian spoke until his mouth was dry and he sighed helplessly. This was the difficulty of having a child without a mother. He was powerless and could not find a good way to communicate with his daughter.
"No, what father said is right. It's my fault this time. I shouldn't have been bewitched by Junior Brother Lu, but... but his sword intent is really tempting. I just need some help to break through the fusion stage, so, so..."
At the end of the conversation, Zhan Hongqu gradually fell silent. This act of betraying his father was too stupid. Except for Kenshin who clapped and cheered, everyone who saw it shook their heads.
"I knew it was that bastard who bullied you."
Zhan Lexian looked grim. He had experienced Lu Bei's sword intent and felt that he was not as good as him. He waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Don't believe his so-called chance. If there was a chance, your father would have given it to you long ago. You must advance steadily in the Void Refining Stage and you can't rush to break through the Fusion Stage. This bottleneck is definitely not something that can be broken by sword intent. This is the experience summarized by the predecessors. Your father has been through it and endured it too."
"But Bai..."
"Um?!"
"I see."
"That's good to know. You are not allowed to go there tonight. Stay by my side and practice."
"… "
…
To prevent fire, theft and Lu Bei, Zhan Lexian guarded against the bastard to protect his daughter from being killed. He knew that he could not control Lu Bei, so he kept a close watch on Zhan Hongqu, detained him on the spot and did not let him out during the day.
As for Lu Bei, he joins in the fun during the day, gains experience points at night, and takes time to practice with She Xuan for five minutes. His life is satisfying and fulfilling, and he has forgotten that a certain cousin is left alone every night.
When night came, he failed to wait for Zhan Hongqu at the agreed place and guessed that Zhan Lexian was doing something bad.
Fortunately, the problem was not serious. With Jing Ji taking the blame, everything became fair and aboveboard. Holding the token in his hand, he directly opened the door of Tieshan Prison and arrogantly conveyed the order to kill Le Xian to the two gatekeepers.
"There is an order to execute the elders. Continue to interrogate them until they confess."
After confirming with Zhan Lexian in person, it was true. The two people in the shadows had no doubts and hid in the darkness, allowing Lu Bei to enter.
On the fourth floor, Lu Bei rubbed his hands and looked at the experience pack.
Once a day, happiness reappears. The previous cultivation was too difficult. This is a reasonable rhythm.
"It's you again. How many years has it been this time? Two years or three years?"
"It has been more than ten years. We Qingqian have conquered Wu Zhou. Today is a good day for Your Majesty to ascend the throne again. A general amnesty has been granted to all the seniors. The death penalty has been pardoned."
