Although Lu Bei did not say it explicitly, he used practical actions to tell Zhu Xiushi that Bai Jin held a very important position in his heart, and if she dared to talk too much, he would punch her in the chest.
The last beauty whose chest was blasted by Lu Bei's punch was Ji Chen. Zhu Xiushi was at the scene and witnessed it with his own eyes. He had no doubt about his ability to act.
He was in a state of grief for a while. They had been through life and death together, fought Qi Yan together, and teased the Imperial Tutor together. Now that Lu Bei had become noble and could go to Xuanlong to kill the demon king, they could no longer play together. He turned against her mercilessly for a woman.
Thinking of this, Yingying squatted in the corner.
"Stop pretending. My senior sister won't buy it."
Lu Bei squatted speechlessly beside Zhu Xiu Shi, put his arm around his shoulder and asked where the master was. If he was in the Mustard Seed Taoist Temple, he should come out and sing a song for his fans. He didn't want to act like a big shot.
"The Grand Tutor is not here. He is in seclusion in the capital."
“Why was she in seclusion? She was struck by lightning too?” Lu Bei laughed when he heard that.
"That's not the case. It's because you gave her too much and she has..."
On the other side, Bai Jin was posing like a lady, waiting for the tutor to show up. She was surprised to see the light of the immortal sword, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Although she didn't see what happened behind the corner, she could roughly imagine that because of gossip, Lu Bei and the female senior cultivator of the Wu Zhou royal family had a falling out, and the two sides went from verbal to physical battles.
It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. In the adult world, there is no right or wrong. She always stands on the side of her junior brother, so it must be that the female cultivator from the Zhu family is wrong.
Bai Jin walked quickly to the corner and saw two figures arm in arm. His heart skipped a beat and he quietly returned to his original position.
Who is the Taoist woman? She is so beautiful. Is she a royal noble
Where is the Immortal Sword Intention? The Junior Brother and her seem very close. Could it be...
Bai Jin's face changed, and after a moment, he shook his head to dispel his distracting thoughts, thinking that he was thinking too much. Not to mention that the female Taoist did not have the Nine Swords Sword Intentions, and would not be seduced by Lu Bei like Zhan Hongqu, even if the relationship between the two was unclear, it should be hidden, and not flirting in front of her.
Confidante
A word flashed through Bai Jin's mind, and he immediately became jealous, feeling very sour and uncomfortable.
It’s enough for a man to have brothers, he doesn’t need a confidante!
Bai Jin raised her hand and tapped the tree trunk, sulking alone, muttering about Lu Bei's faults. She looked like a little woman with a sullen look, and she didn't have the aura of a fairy. She seemed to have forgotten her original intention of leaving a good impression on the master.
Lu Bei had just finished arranging things for his senior sister, and after listening to Zhu Xiushi's story, he looked quite annoyed.
More than two months ago, the Grand Tutor met Lu Bei in the West King's Mansion. She ignored her father and the dark history of being bitten by a dog. She gained a lot from Lu Bei. Not only did she get rid of all the evil thoughts, but she also broke through the shackles and achieved the balance of yin and yang in her body. In addition, she asked for it all night and squeezed the innate Qi crazily, which completely cleared the obstacles for her own practice.
After returning to the capital, the Grand Tutor went into seclusion. Due to the imbalance of her skills in the early years, her foundation was not solid. She could only use 60% to 70% of her skills. Not to say that it was shaky, but it was also full of holes.
Now that all difficulties have been overcome and there are no more worries, it is natural to sort things out carefully.
Therefore, the Grand Tutor had no time to join in the fun and gave all his share of the secret realm spoils to Zhu Xiushi.
Lu Bei had a bitter face. He felt more uncomfortable hearing that the Grand Tutor's cultivation had greatly improved than if his own cultivation had greatly decreased.
"Master Lu, are you so sad that you didn't see the beautiful tutor?"
"I didn't hear that she was struck by lightning. My heart was in pain!"
Lu Bei raised his head and sighed. As he spoke, he wanted to touch his conscience. Halfway through, he remembered that Bai Jin was right next to him, so he scratched his face instead.
Zhu Xiushi's eyes lit up as he sensed Lu Bei's weakness.
The next second, Lu Bei pinched her face.
"Master Lu, you were talking nicely, why did you offend the emperor again?" Zhu Xiushi pouted and spoke awkwardly.
"Haha, you know in your heart that you are not allowed to have any ideas about my senior sister, otherwise..."
Lu Bei sneered and approached Zhu Xiushi: "This female cultivator, you don't want to be bitten by a dog like the master, so please, don't do anything stupid."
The threat was so lethal that Zhu Xiushi immediately calmed down and advised Lu Bei to calm down as well. It was all the fault of the Grand Master. They should have shared the same hatred for the enemy instead of killing each other.
Lu Bei was relieved that the Grand Tutor didn't come, but he was disappointed for Bai Jin. The latter was excited the whole night and was still talking about that thing. It could be said that his excitement was in vain.
"So, this time the royal family sent only you to receive the spoils?"
"Isn't there Sect Master Lu?"
“It’s so funny. I have Tianjian Sect’s secret realm to visit, so I don’t have the time to hang out with you. If people spread gossip about me, I won’t be able to live as a human being anymore.” Lu Bei shook his head repeatedly, stood up and patted his butt.
His own.
"Master Lu, don't be in a hurry to leave. Listen to what I have to say."
Zhu Xiushi grabbed Lu Bei's sleeve and squinted his eyes, saying, "Qi Yan compensated three secret realms, one for each of our Wu Zhou royal family, Huangji Sect, and Tianjian Sect. It seems fair, but it actually harbors evil intentions. I have some reliable information here. It's not too late for you to make a decision after listening to it."
Lu Bei squatted back to his original position after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hand and put it on his shoulder:
"Detailed."
"Sect Master Lu has been to many secret realms. I don't need to explain the principle of discovering and developing first. No one can guarantee whether the three secret realms Qi Yan gave us are good or bad, and whether they are valuable before we inspect them."
Zhu Xiushi spoke slowly.
It is easy for a secret realm to support a sect or a school. A large amount of immortal cultivation resources can be easily excavated to expand the sect's foundation. However, for top cultivators, such as cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the secret realm is dispensable unless there is a major opportunity. No matter how many ordinary resources there are, they cannot change the fate of cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage being struck by lightning.
Qi Yan cut his flesh quickly and took out the three secret realms as compensation for the defeat. He must have explored them in advance and taken away all the good stuff. It is no exaggeration to say that he dug three feet deep into the ground.
"What you mean is that there are advantages and disadvantages in the three secret realms, and no one wants to suffer a loss. Qi Yan uses this as an opportunity to instigate internal strife among the Zhu family, the Huangji Sect, and this sect master?"
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that too crude? This kind of trick of sowing discord is not used when this sect leader wets his pants."
"What if Qi Yan deliberately hid a great opportunity in the secret realm?" Zhu Xiu Shi asked back.
"That's right. It's hard to say about the Huangji Sect. This Sect Master will never give up anything if he sees the benefits. He will definitely turn against us on the spot."
Lu Bei nodded and said, "Because of my strong attitude and your support, the Huangji Sect dare not act rashly. They have to swallow their grievances and not fight."
Having said that, he didn't believe that Qi Yan could come up with any good treasures. Without hope and disappointment, he naturally wouldn't take it seriously.
Whatever happens, as long as there is no great benefit, he will intercept a piece of secret territory and bring it back to Zang Qianshan to expand the foundation of Tianjian Sect.
"With the lessons learned from Qi and Yan, we in Wu Zhou will not lose our composure. Even if there are conflicts, we will resolve them privately."
Zhu Xiushi agreed with Lu Bei's point of view and believed that Huangji Sect would not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains. He then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There is another piece of information. The secret realm that Qi Yan took out is not jointly owned by Qi Yan Xiantian Mansion. It was paid for by the Ji family themselves. This move has caused dissatisfaction among many Xiantian Mansion sects."
“Great!”
Lu Bei's eyes lit up. Let's be frank. He saw a large amount of experience rushing towards him.
It's time to strengthen your qualifications!
"The supreme elder of Huangji Sect on this trip is Zhu Mu. Is Sect Master Lu interested in joining forces with him?" Zhu Xiushi asked at the right time.
"No."
Lu Bei shook his head and refused. Firstly, he did not trust his teammate Zhu from the Huangji Sect. Secondly, since there were more teammates, they had less experience and so there were fewer fruits to share.
Finally, Zhu Xiu Shi is enough to be sacrificed as a teammate, there is no point in having more.
Zhu Xiushi nodded. She hadn't thought about joining forces with the Huangji Sect. She took out the Mustard Seed Taoist Temple and invited Lu Bei and Bai Jin in for tea.
Specially supplied by the royal family, new tea for October.
There was one thing Zhu Xiushi didn't say. In addition to exploring the secret realm, she had another mission on this trip. Keep an eye on Lu Bei and don't let Qi Yan take advantage of him. If she encounters the beautiful Ji family princess, she should dig a hole and bury her on the spot.
Last time, they were careless and let Lu Bei slip out of the country, which gave Xuan Long a huge taste of sweetness. Several retired old emperors were so heartbroken. If you didn't know, you would think that they were all cheated on by the guy next door, Old Zhao.
There was an accident once, but it must not happen again. The old Zhu family was on high alert and asked Zhu Xiushi to go there in person. Xuanlong Baimao was not easy to offend, so the old Zhu family accepted it with a pinch of the nose. If the Qiyan Ji family dared to touch the belt of the Tianjian Sect, no matter how powerful their background was, even if the Ji Emperor brought up his grandmother, they would be killed without mercy.
To be honest, as a pure passerby, Zhu Xiushi thought that this mission had some connotations. If necessary, she might have to taste the sweetness herself.
But now it seems...
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the young man and girl drinking tea in the courtyard, and felt that she was a little redundant.
He smiled slightly and turned and left.
Bai Jin looked around, and when Zhu Xiushi's back disappeared, he asked curiously, "Junior brother, who is this senior? Is he a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage?"
"Senior sister, you have good vision. She hid it so deeply but it didn't get through to you."
Lu Bei briefly explained who Zhu Xiu Shi was and provided Bai Jin with some common sense about the Tribulation Period. He used Zhu Xiu Shi as an example, saying that he was struck by lightning twice but was still alive.
In the end, he asked Bai Jin to stay away from Zhu Xiu Shi. No one with the surname Zhu was a good person. He and Zhu Xiu Shi were only close on the surface, but their relationship was actually very ordinary.
"But... Senior seems to dote on you."
"Come on, that woman is not a good person."
Lu Bei was talking loudly. He was in Zhu Xiushi's Taoist temple and knew that she could hear him. He openly said bad things: "Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you, Senior Sister. The old Zhu family covets my immortal sword intent and dreams of introducing my bloodline. She is the executor of the plan... um, one of them."
"one?"
Bai Jin was stunned. There was too much information. He understood it, but not completely.
"actually… "
Lu Bei looked around, then leaned against Bai Jin cautiously and whispered, "I'll only tell you and don't tell anyone. In fact, Taifu is the same. She is decisive in killing and covets my Immortal Sword Will. She covets it very much. The last time we met, she tried every means to get it. When seduction failed, she even used force. If I hadn't run fast, she would have succeeded."
After saying that, he nodded seriously, with a solemn expression that said, "It's just you, no one else will tell you."
Bai Jin: …
Thinking about the state of Taifu's pure heart and few desires, and looking at Lu Bei with a serious face, he couldn't help but sigh that his junior brother's immortal sword body cultivation was becoming more and more profound.
No, I’m much thicker-skinned than before.
The master used force...
It's so funny. She doesn't believe a word of this nonsense.
It's just a pipe dream, it's absolutely impossible!
Finally, if it was the Grand Tutor who cheated on her, she would grit her teeth, consider herself unlucky, and never blame Lu Bei.
