"You were screaming so happily before, why can't you speak now?"
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, holding the jade slip tightly with five fingers. If anything unexpected happened, such as the Grand Tutor pretending to be insane and trying to snatch the jade slip, he was confident that he could put the jade slip into his personal space at close range.
It doesn’t matter even if this jade slip is taken away. It is empty and there is no dark history in it.
In order to avoid catching all at once, he adhered to Xun Yu's principle of not putting all eggs in one basket, and he would replace the jade slips with a new one every time after recording a video. Up to now, the number of jade slips is limited, only eighteen.
"But… "
Li Taiqing raised his hands to his chest, pointed with two fingers on each side, glanced at Lu Bei timidly, and whispered, "Uncle said before that if you call me daddy again, he won't want me anymore."
"Yes, but there is no one... No one awake!"
Lu Bei presented facts and reasoned with them, encouraging them: "Hurry up, shout a few more times before they wake up. When they wake up, you want to shout, but I, Daddy, won't answer you!"
Bah, only a devil would want to shout.
"Daddy."
"Louder, did you eat all that sugar for nothing?"
Lu Bei leaned forward and whispered: "You are so listless at such a young age. How can you kill the master and avenge your father in the future? How can you fulfill the oath you made?"
"Dad—Dad—"
With half of the face of a scoundrel in front of him, Li Taiqing took a long breath and howled at the top of his lungs. After that, he took the candied haws handed to him by Lu Bei and started to bite it.
A smile on his face.
With the temper of the Grand Tutor, even if he was asleep, he would never recognize the thief as his father when he was awake. She separated part of her soul and simulated her younger self, watching the scene from a third-party perspective.
I have to say, it's very frustrating.
Lu Bei put away the jade slip with satisfaction, let Li Taiqing cool down, and helped Zhao Shiran up to wake him up.
Zhao Shiran woke up with a sob, as if he had been hit on the back of his head with a brick. He felt dizzy and dizzy. After a long while of comprehending himself, he finally explained the battle to Lu Bei when he was asked.
It was not much different from Lu Bei's guess. After seeing Mu Jiling being tortured and covered with wounds after being captured, Li Taiqing angrily logged into Taifu's account and slaughtered the four fusion-stage monks like chopping melons and vegetables.
Afterwards, he covered his head and logged off. Zhao Shiran and Mu Jiling have been unconscious due to the aftermath of the battle.
"Uncle, I want to eat buns." Li Taiqing grabbed Lu Bei's sleeve and wiped the sugar coating off his hands.
"Eat three baskets first, save some. Our family is not that wealthy. I'll take you to my grandmother's house in a few days. She's very rich. We'll try to eat her out of money within a hundred years."
"… "
Li Taiqing's face froze, and he quickly stuffed a bun into his mouth, grunting as he worked hard.
Zhao Shiran stared at the scene in amazement, whispering in Lu Bei's ear, asking what exactly happened.
Just then, Mu Ji Ling woke up and couldn't wait to ask Lu Bei what he had done to her master during the ten days he disappeared. If he lied, she would castrate Hu San.
Faced with such a cruel oath, Lu Bei didn't even think twice and quickly lied to deceive.
It was impossible to tell the truth. He beat the master head-on and seriously injured him, which was too outrageous. After the fight, he dragged the master to practice dual cultivation, which was even more outrageous. In order to conform to the logic of reality and increase credibility, a new version was changed.
When he was sparring with Taifu, he was suppressed the whole time. As the fight went on, Taifu made a breakthrough and became what he is now in a daze.
The new version has clear logic and is well-founded. Zhao Shiran and Mu Jiling both believe it without a doubt.
Then Mu Jiling protected Li Taiqing and told her loudly that there was no uncle here, and it was even more impossible to have... that thing. In short, children should not recognize relatives randomly, as they are easily deceived by bad people with ulterior motives.
Li Taiqing vowed to acknowledge the thief as his father and ignored Mu Jiling. Under Mu Jiling's tearful gaze, he followed the advice of his kind uncle and considered the feasibility of expelling the evil disciple from the sect.
With the label of a bad woman, Mu Jiling became withdrawn and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"My disciple over there, I'm talking to you. Stop looking so sullen. Come over here. I have something to ask you."
Lu Bei called Mu Jiling, who was reluctant until Lu Bei pinched Li Taiqing's little face and said he was going to spank her. Only then did she walk forward step by step with an angry look on her face.
"It's been ten days. What's the current situation in Guanzhou? Is the war not over yet?"
"No, but I received several requests to ask why Master delayed the flight..."
Mu Jiling told the truth as it was a business matter.
Qing Qian occupied Guanzhou. Faced with the heavy blockade and siege of the Huangji Sect, he could not bear the pressure and chose to form an alliance with Qi Yan. He was inferior to Qi Yan and turned from a collaborator into a younger brother.
As a result, Qi Yan found a reason to intervene in the situation of Wu Zhou. Instead of intervening, they acted as kind-hearted passers-by who came to mediate the conflict, stood up for their younger brother, and demanded the territories of the three western states of Wu Zhou.
As for the grand strategy of Wu Zhou, Mu Jiling’s status is not high enough, so he cannot get in touch with her for the time being.
All I know is that there are constant frictions on the front line, and conflicts of varying sizes are taking place every day. The two monks are facing each other in front of the formation. It cannot be said that the amount of mothers involved is astonishing, but there are also hundreds of mothers fighting together.
There is no telling when both sides will stop testing each other and start a decisive battle directly.
The premise for the decisive battle is to find the tutor who has not been heard from for ten days.
"It's a bit numb. You've seen her current situation. If I go up to her, I'll just be asking for my head. Let alone killing someone, I'll be thankful if I don't make people laugh to death." Lu Bei sighed, with Li Taiqing, who was eating heartily, lying behind him.
He had no control over his mouth, and he dropped crumbs while eating, making Lu Bei's clothes greasy and his head smelling delicious.
The scene was so beautiful that Mu Jiling didn't dare to look at it. He said dryly, "Then I can only tell you the truth. I will take Master back to the capital first..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly froze, as if she had thought of something, otherwise she would suggest: "Master has too many enemies in the capital, especially the Huangji Sect. If they take advantage of the situation and sneak in, it will be difficult for me to protect Master's safety alone."
Having said this, she looked at Lu Bei intently.
"Don't give me that crap. If you can't protect her, then I can?"
Lu Bei shook his head repeatedly, determined not to wade into muddy waters. He said loyally, "I'm not afraid of you spreading the news. This sect master is on this trip only to protect the Wu Zhou country and save the country from danger. This patriotic heart cannot tolerate any delay. I don't have time to change your master's diaper."
Mu Jiling was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to die together with Lu Bei. However, Li Taiqing threw a bun at him and he sat back down in grief and indignation.
"Uncle, I want to eat dumplings."
"Didn't you just eat buns? Why are you eating again?"
Lu Bei shouted angrily, took out a cage and handed it to the top of his head, and gave Mu Jiling some advice: "It's not a big problem. If she can wake up once, it means she can wake up a second time. If you encounter a shameless sneak attack from the Huangji Sect in the capital, don't panic. Rush up and beat her up. She might wake up completely in a rage."
Mu Jiling rolled her eyes. Fox Three and Fox Four were birds of a feather and none of them were good people.
"There is actually another way."
Lu Bei clenched his fist and coughed softly, saying in a low voice: "Go find my godmother, she will definitely have a way to wake your master up."
It was a good idea and Mu Jiling was quite tempted. Suddenly, he thought of something and shook his head to deny it.
Anyone can do it, except Fox Two.
To put it in a positive way, this is like owing Fox Er a favor. To put it in a negative way, it is like actively inviting Fox Er to visit the site of the social death.
"Then I have no other options."
"In fact, there is another trick, which is..."
Mu Jiling glanced at Li Taiqing, who was eating and drinking like a bottomless pit, and said in embarrassment: "There are powerful people in the royal family in Guanzhou who have reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage. As long as they avoid the eyes of the Royal Extreme Sect, they will definitely help Master."
"It doesn't sound very reliable. You've seen her situation. If the other party has any ideas, all he needs is a candied haws and she'll have another father." Lu Bei complained.
"That's better than having another grandmother." Mu Jiling was even more speechless.
"You can't say that. Grandma loves her granddaughter the most."
"… "
In terms of verbal skills, ten Mu Jilings combined cannot beat one Lu Bei. They simply ended the meaningless discussion and decided to take Li Taiqing to Guanzhou, complete the liaison mission, and take Lu Bei along with them.
Speaking of which, the meeting mission this time was vague. Hu Er did not mention the reason for introducing the tutor, and it seemed like he was pushing his godson into the fire pit.
But if you only look at the results, the Taifu was really cheated.
—
Beima County, Yongxiang County.
Beima County is located on the westernmost side of Xianzhou, not far from the blockade line between the two states. It is also the place where the royal tribulation master and the Grand Tutor agreed to meet.
Originally, the two of them were traveling together, but the Grand Tutor had a sudden appointment, so they went to Xiwang County instead.
Outside Yongxiang County, clouds and fog cover the hillside, and a small Taoist temple is looming.
In the temple, a female Taoist in green robe was sitting cross-legged on a cloud bed with a whisk hanging at the head of the bed.
The female Taoist had a relaxed demeanor, a very beautiful face, a voluptuous figure, and her wide Taoist robe barely covered her graceful curves.
She has a very serious and fairy-like face, but her posture is so suggestive that people subconsciously think that this woman is not a proper Taoist nun.
Zhu Xiushi.
There was a light knock on the door, and the visitor was holding a token mark. Zhu Xiu Shi stopped practicing, thinking that someone had finally come. He took the whisk at his side, and went out to greet him with a sweet smile.
In the front yard, there were three girls and one boy, three big and one small, three were standing and one was riding.
"My dear Master, you are here..."
Zhu Xiushi's smile was stiff as he stared at the condensed version of the Master in astonishment. Judging from his eyebrows, it was indeed him, but... when did his appetite become so good
Where did you find the mount
After Mu Jiling's explanation, Zhu Xiushi finally understood the reason. He looked at Lu Bei in confusion, asked the Tianjian Sect's leader-level mount to wait for a while, and dragged the screaming tutor towards the quiet room.
"Zhu Xiushi, I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Lu Bei watched the staggering Mi Tao leave, secretly thinking that the Heavenly Family was treacherous. Facing Mu Ji Ling's contemptuous eyes, he said seriously, "I must have heard of it, but I just can't remember it."
Come on, you were just watching and never thought about it.
Mu Ji Ling felt contempt in her heart, but secretly lucky at the same time. Fortunately, when her master lost his mind, his body turned into a child, otherwise who knows what would happen in ten days.
