Calculating the time, it has been half a month since Zhan Hongqu went into seclusion. It took fifteen days to consolidate the state of fusion. It is indeed time for him to come out of seclusion.
So the question is, should we release the person
Lu Bei glanced at Bai Jin who was refining the small world. The latter was calm and had no intention of guarding himself. Out of trust in his junior brother, he did not even set up a protective formation. Although he was not in seclusion, it was no different from that.
It's okay. It takes half a month to consolidate the fusion stage. Upgrading the small world is such a complicated task, it will take at least three to five months.
Thinking of this, Lu Bei felt relieved and waved his hand to release the Red Song.
He was delighted to get the chance to step into the gate of the fusion stage. After killing Hongqu and coming out of seclusion, the first thing he did was to find Lu Bei to fight with him. His real intention was not to fight, but to find an excuse to ask for the sword spirit.
Seeing the surrounding situation clearly, her face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. She lowered her voice like a thief and asked, "What's going on? Why is Junior Sister Bai here too?"
He looked panic-stricken, like a cat caught stealing fish. He hurriedly asked Lu Bei to lock him up again. He no longer had the heroic spirit of the past.
"Why are you panicking? Look at me, I'm not panicking at all."
Lu Bei waved his hand and looked at the frightened Zhan Hongqu with interest, and said teasingly: "Senior Sister Zhan, there is no affair between you and me, and there is no trickery. It is purely a business transaction. Don't say that Senior Sister Bai doesn't know. Even if she knows, you don't have to panic. Just keep a calm mind like me."
"That's what I said, but it's better not to meet. I don't have the face to see Junior Sister Bai." Zhan Hongqu muttered softly, and the last word was so soft that it was difficult to distinguish.
"No matter how big the problem is, I'm not afraid."
Lu Bei raised his head and put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.
Zhan Hongqu was speechless, thinking that this guy was so shameless that he had lost even the basic sense of shame as a human being.
With Lu Bei's statement in front, Zhan Hongqu quickly calmed down and looked at Bai Jin who was upgrading his small world, his eyes full of envy.
At the same time, there are other emotions mixed in.
"As expected of Junior Sister Bai, your realm is stable and your cultivation has made great progress. You must have gained some insights from your recent practice and realized..."
"Understanding the dual cultivation is the kingly way, Yin and Yang are the foundation, immortality cannot be cultivated by one person."
Lu Bei interrupted to make a summary, raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhan Hongqu, using Bai Jin as the best example, boasting: "Senior Sister Bai and I spent a night together, and with the help of dual cultivation, we swam freely in the sea of sword intent, and our cultivation reached a new level."
Could you please not mention this
Zhan Hongqu turned his head and looked aside, feeling guilty. Every time he heard that Bai Jin and Lu Bei were living together, he felt that he had committed an unforgivable crime.
"Senior Sister Zhan, I'll remind you again, there is nothing between us. If you take it seriously, it will be a disaster."
Lu Bei put his arm around Zhan Hongqu's shoulders and shook him vigorously: "How about this, you treat me as a buddy and keep a normal mind, then you won't blame yourself."
"Take your hands away and don't lean your face over here!"
“That’s what good guys do.”
"But I..."
"Sister Kill?!"
Just as the two were pulling each other, a shout came from behind, which frightened Lu Bei so much that he shivered on the spot. Zhan Hongqu's face turned pale and lost all color in an instant.
Lu Bei stiffly withdrew his hand, turned around slowly, and said dryly: "Senior Sister, weren't you refining the small world? How come you finished it so quickly?"
"It's easier than I thought. The key is to lay a solid foundation during the Void Refining Stage, which is why it is so easy to achieve today."
When it comes to cultivation, Bai Jin immediately opens up and warns Lu Bei not to rush for success. It is true that he has amazing talent, but so did Mo Buxiu back then. He did not properly comprehend the truth of heaven and earth and integrate into his own little world, but was eager to break through the bottleneck of the fusion stage, which led to him going astray. It is too late to regret.
Lu Bei nodded repeatedly after hearing this. What he said made a lot of sense. He said that next time he should just stop talking and publish a skill book.
Because of his own qualifications, although he knew that what Bai Jin said was right, from a practical point of view, it was of no use at all.
Also, I hope Bai Jin will keep talking and don’t ask why Zhan Hongqu is also here.
"Senior Sister Zhan, why are you here too?"
Bai Jin stopped talking and spoke in confusion. Although he was asking about the execution of Hong Qu, his eyes were looking at Lu Bei.
The secret realm is a relic of Mo Buxiu and can only be opened by Lu Bei holding the seal of the sect leader. It is really strange that Zhan Hongqu appears here.
These two...
Looking back and forth, Bai Jin felt something was wrong. As a novice in relationships, she couldn't think of the words to express herself. She felt empty inside, yet she felt blocked.
Sensing Bai Jin's gaze on him, Zhan Hongqu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He straightened his stiff body, and out of guilt he dared not look back.
Lu Bei wasn't much better off. He said he was taking it easy, but when something really happened, he just regretted that there was no time machine among Mo Buxiu's relics.
Fortunately, although he is not very smart, he has always been quite clever and quick-witted. He changed his face to a serious one in an instant and slapped Zhan Hongqu on the shoulder: "Senior Sister, now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you."
"What are you hiding from me?"
Bai Jin spoke subconsciously, without any instruction, and asked questions about death.
"Senior Sister Zhan is my prisoner!"
Lu Bei made the final decision, and at the moment when Bai Jin's thoughts were deviated, he said calmly: "Sister, you know that the Tianjian Sect raised the flag of rebellion, but I am not optimistic that the Tianjian Sect can recover Qingqian. The elder is one of the nine swords, but he will die if he insists on his own way."
"Junior Brother Lu, what did you say?"
The matter was of great importance, and Zhan Hongqu was confused. He turned around and grabbed Lu Bei's shoulders, asking anxiously, "When did the Tianjian Sect recover Qingqian? How long have I been in seclusion? Where is my father?"
Before Zhan Hongqu went into seclusion, the Tianjian Sect had not yet started a public opinion war with the Huangji Sect, and she knew nothing about it. Elder Zhan loved his daughter dearly, and took on all the big and small matters, and never made it clear to her, so she is still kept in the dark now.
"Prisoner, don't talk."
Lu Bei glared at Zhan Hongqu unhappily and said, "I'm giving you some time to relax for Senior Sister Bai's sake. I'm advising you not to be ungrateful."
"But you didn't..."
"Shut up!"
Lu Bei shouted angrily, which immediately aroused Bai Jin's dissatisfaction. She and Zhan Hongqu were in great harmony and were like sisters. She pulled the bewildered Zhan Hongqu over and comforted her with kind words.
The two sisters held hands and soon hugged each other.
Lu Bei: “…”
Is this an illusion? I feel like if I go to the river today, I will definitely get a lot of rewards.
In a word, redundant.
He shook his head to dispel his wild thoughts, took two steps forward and forcefully penetrated, separating the two women and interrupting the good momentum.
"Brother, don't mess around."
Bai Jin glared at Lu Bei, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Outsiders may think that your behavior is absurd, but I know that you are a man who values friendship and loyalty. Senior Sister Zhan is your friend, and you detained her to protect her, right?"
As expected of you, you are so insightful!
"Sister, you are right. You are so smart and clever. I hid it so well, but you still saw through it. I can't help but admit it!"
Lu Bei praised him highly, with an unfathomable look on his face: "You also know that I, Junior Brother, got an official position in Xuanyin Division. After a year of ups and downs in the officialdom, I can't say that I rose to the top, but I also abused my power to make a lot of money..."
"Junior brother, get to the point."
“Here comes the point.”
Lu Bei glanced at the frightened Zhan Hongqu, patted her shoulder, and comforted her softly, "Senior Sister Zhan, Elder Zhan loves you very much. Although he is a strict father, he is also a kind father. When the day comes that the Tianjian Sect rebels, I will take you to Tianjian Peak and persuade him to give up his evil ways."
"…" x2
It's not human language. I can't do anything about Bai Jin and Zhan Hong Qu.
"At that time, Lu, in the capacity of the Purple Guard of the Xuanyin Division, will arrange an undercover identity for Elder Zhan. Not only will he be innocent, but he will have made contributions. He will be the chief minister who restored order. Even if the dogs of the Huangji Sect come, they will not be able to hold him accountable."
Lu Bei chuckled faintly. As a dog official, he understood Wu Zhou too well. Even if he didn't understand, there was still Fox Three who could maneuver around and it would be as easy as pie to kill Le Xian.
Presenting facts and reasoning, if Zhan Lexian is willing to go to the capital to be taught swords, would the emperor disagree
It’s so funny. As long as Huangjizong is unhappy, the emperor is happy.
The confident man has a strong aura. At this moment, Lu Bei looks like a dog official who is in charge of all the affairs. Under the influence of his aura, Zhan Hongqu is very excited. He presses the big hand on his shoulder, and his moist eyes are full of gratitude.
Although he just wanted the sword at the beginning, this man is indeed responsible. If he saves his father because of this relationship, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Bai Jin nodded with relief. She knew that although her junior brother was not very good, he was loyal and righteous and worthy of trust, especially at critical moments...
Wait, what are you two doing so close to each other
Seeing the two people getting closer and closer, Bai Jin felt quite jealous. As a person involved in the matter, he was not sure whether he was really trapped or not. He took a step forward and forcefully inserted himself into the situation, interrupting the pair's gaze at each other.
"Sister Zhan, although the plan is thorough, all plans are based on strength."
"Yes, Senior Sister is right."
Lu Bei nodded and frowned, saying, "On the day when I took you to Tianjian Peak, you must cry your heart out, as if you had suffered a great injustice, and not spare a single tear. The more you cry, the more distressed Elder Zhan will be. He doesn't want you to suffer any more injustice in the future, so he will give up his sword and surrender."
"Junior brother, please stop talking."
Bai Jin looked at Lu Bei helplessly. This was not a critical moment, and the little junior brother could not be relied on. She held Zhan Hongqu's hands and said warmly, "Senior Sister Zhan, practice well and don't think too much about other things. If you have an epiphany one day and glimpse the great power of swordsmanship, even if Elder Zhan insists on doing it his own way, you can pull him back with your own hands."
"Thank you, Junior Sister. I am..."
Zhan Hongqu was about to agree, but suddenly froze for a moment. It was not impossible for him to get a glimpse of the great power of swordsmanship, but...
Is this really okay
Why does it sound so strange when these words come out of Bai Jin's mouth!
For a moment, she felt guilty and lowered her head again, not daring to look into Bai Jin's righteous eyes.
There is no such thing as eyes of justice, it's just her imagination.
You look so flustered and not smooth at all. Even nothing out of the ordinary can be caused by you!
Lu Bei cursed his stupid teammates inwardly, and then changed the subject: "Alright, Senior Sister Zhan, you don't have to act anymore. It's just a secret realm, right? You can take a portion and integrate into the small world. I'll give you a favor, so you don't need to ask Senior Sister to speak for you."
"I'm not, I didn't..."
"Um?!"
"Thank you, Junior Brother."
Zhan Hongqu gritted her teeth. Under normal circumstances, she would never accept this gift. But now she was worried that her father would be in a state of panic. She only knew that improving her strength was the most urgent task and was unwilling to refuse such a good opportunity.
As for how to repay Lu Bei for owing so much in the future, Jianxin has something to say at this time.
Kenshin: If you can’t pay it back, then don’t pay it back. With Junior Sister Bai watching over you, how can he eat you up
It made some sense, so she decided to trust Kenshin again.
…
The vast continent is up and down, Zhan Hongqu unfolds his own small world, intercepting a piece of heaven and earth and refining it into it.
Bai Jin was instructing from the side as the two discussed things together. Without Lu Bei getting in the way, their relationship was extremely harmonious, as if they had returned to the old days.
But Zhan Hongqu knew clearly in her heart that she had done something wrong to Bai Jin and there was no way back to the past.
Lu Bei stood alone on the side without disturbing the two women. His eyes shone with golden light. He made a rough estimate and found that one of the five states had been taken away, and there were still four parts of the secret realm left.
After some calculations, I figured that when I bring She Xuan, Zhu Qilan, Zhao Shiran and others here, there would be more than enough space in the secret realm, and there might even be some left over.
"As expected of you, Master. Everything is within your calculations."
Lu Bei looked up to the sky in admiration and began to worry about his own little world. It was too big, and even if the entire Wu Zhou was put into it, it would not be able to fill it.
What should we do? We can't be so arrogant as to include the neighboring Xiong Chu and Qi Yan at the same time, right
That’s not enough!
On the other hand, Bai Jin had amazing talent. As soon as the small world was materialized, he realized the way to advancement.
In the realm of refining emptiness, one comprehends the truth of heaven and earth and builds one's own small world; in the stage of integration, one turns emptiness into reality and gradually compresses the small world full of the truth of heaven and earth until...
Polish out a magical weapon that connects life and death.
Bai Jin had some vague understanding of the details, but he didn't dare to say too much. To put it into practical action, he still needed to learn from the experience of his predecessors, so he planned to return to the mountain gate to look through ancient books.
Fortunately, there are fellow practitioners of Zhan Hongqu, and we are at a similar level. We can exchange insights and avoid working in isolation and going astray.
The two girls returned to Beijun Mountain in love. Lu Bei came to the center of the lake alone, took a deep breath, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Top star over there, your patron is here again, why don't you clean yourself up and come out to receive him!"
After half an hour of telling the story, Lu Bei stopped and put his hands on his hips, frowning and wondering if the other party had left.
"If he really left, wouldn't all this wonderful story of Lin be in vain..."
The key is that they are a stupid couple.
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and decided to use money to attack, and flew towards the nearest county town.
I heard that scholars all have side jobs. During the day, they are full of righteousness and integrity, and at night they transform into mysterious writers, using the pen name Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng or something like that, specializing in writing popular articles that the general public likes to read.
As a scholar, who doesn't have fantasies about an official's daughter, a fox fairy, a female ghost, a chivalrous woman, a female constable, a pretty widow... etc.? It's not shameful to submit your work.
Although Mr. Lu did not read these things and had never heard of them, it did not affect his willingness to pay large sums of money to collect manuscripts and find dozens or even hundreds of storytellers to gather by the lake and tell stories from morning to night.
"I just don't believe you can still bear this!"
