"Cousin, I didn't know that you are so old, and you are so brave to do this to me. I am still a child!"
In Changming Mansion, Lu Bei raised his head and sighed: "I remember it clearly. Aunt Eight said you were in your early twenties. I believed it, but I didn't expect you to be so old."
Zhu Qilan turned his head and looked to the side. There is no medicine for regret in the world. It is useless to say these things now. It is too late.
Lu Bei's voice was even louder, saying that his young mind had been polluted. The Zhu family had evil intentions. Not only did they cheat him, they also organized a group to cheat him. He was young and inexperienced, pure as a blank sheet of paper, and he confessed without knowing anything.
"Stop talking. If you really feel wronged, Master Lu, come with me to the capital at the end of the year. I will ask my brother to introduce you to some young princesses."
Seeing that Lu Bei was getting more and more excited, as if he had suffered a great injustice, Zhu Qilan snorted coldly: "I have several nieces, sixteen years old, in their prime, all of them are well-educated and well-mannered good girls, what do you think?"
"That sounds good. I'll trouble you, cousin. After it's done, I'll invite you to the wedding."
"… "
Zhu Qilan became even angrier, wondering why the dead man wasn't a mute. It was annoying when he wasn't around, and even more annoying when he was around.
Lu Bei chuckled twice, ignoring the angry Zhu Qilan, and grabbed the hand of the butler Yu next to him, saying that in this Changming Mansion full of lies, only Sister Yu still had some warmth.
Butler Yu covered his mouth and giggled. The dowry maid, relying on the support of the master, joined in bullying the hostess. The two of them talked and laughed, which made Zhu Qilan so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"What warmth can Bai Yu bring? You think I'm old, but she's not much younger than me. This year..."
“Aaaaaaaa—”
Butler Yu interrupted with an exclamation: "It's getting late, the two gentlemen should leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
The purpose of going to the holy land of the human race was, firstly, to gain fame, and secondly, to win glory for the country. There was no reason to bring servants with him. Steward Yu envied the two of them who were always around, but he himself could not go with them.
Lu Bei was sensitive to the slight loss and was a petty person. He immediately asked about her well-being and said he would prepare a bunch of souvenirs when he returned.
"Master is so kind."
"It's all thanks to my teammates. Your Highness has a cold face all day long. In comparison, I am naturally a beautiful and kind person."
After saying this, they both laughed.
Zhu Qilan couldn't sit still any longer, so he left the courtyard and flew towards Xianzhou.
Lu Bei stood up and followed. Before he left, Butler Yu grabbed his sleeve and whispered a few words in his ear. He nodded and patted his chest to make a promise that he would not let Butler Yu wait too long. This time he would come up with some new tricks to win over the hypocritical princess.

"It's the West Palace again. If I open a ticket office here, I will definitely make a lot of money."
Lu Bei followed Zhu Qilan to the meeting place. After landing, he saw the four Zhu family members from the royal family. Although he didn't know them, he still greeted them politely.
Because of their severe personal filter, the four rookies in their octogenarians had no highlights in Lu Bei's eyes. At a glance, they all looked like ordinary faces carved from the same mold.
Their strength levels are also average, from the great perfection of the Refining Void Realm to the early stage of Fusion. They may have unique skills, but they are not that powerful. They can only be runners-up in this trip to the human race's holy land.
The Zhu family members carefully looked at Lu Bei. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes were full of admiration. In terms of age, they were more than four times older than Lu Bei. In terms of strength, Lu Bei was the child of other people's families in the eyes of the elders. They were the only ones who had a head just to show off their height. They were all stupid.
Especially the battle of Beijun Mountain, where Lu Bei defeated three great elders in a row and made Huangji Sect lose face, they had heard this story so many times that their ears were almost calloused. Whenever the elders encountered something that didn't go their way, they would tell them in person and drag them to their faces to scold them.
The lines are all the same. Look at Lu Bei, he's still a child, but he can beat up the Grand Elder of Huangji Sect. Look at you again... You still have the nerve to look in the mirror, go and practice.
Fortunately, the painful days did not last long. After Lu Bei broke into the Bulao Mountain and Duotian Sword Peak moved to Yuezhou, their elders rarely talked about Lu Bei anymore.
There is no comparison, and talking about it will only add pressure to the younger generation.
The four Zhu family disciples were full of admiration, and none of them jumped out to provoke him, which made Lu Bei very disappointed. He still hoped that the young people would not know their own limitations, and two thorns would jump out of the bushes to step on him and become famous, but in the end, each of them was older than him.
It's boring. Young people nowadays are not passionate at all.
Just as I was sighing, I suddenly saw a familiar cheering gesture in the familiar corner.
Obviously, there is a familiar person behind the wall.
Lu Bei's eyes twitched. He patted Zhu Qilan on the shoulder and told her to stay where she was and not to move while he went to meet a friend.
"Why is it you again? The lineage of the Western King was invited to the capital to retire, and the land and property belong to you?" Lu Bei squatted in the corner, skillfully hooked his arm around her shoulders, and complained speechlessly.
"What are you talking about? The human race's holy land is far away in the Kunlun Mountains. Wu Zhou has produced so many young people, so it is natural to send an elder with outstanding strength to look after them." Zhu Xiu Shi explained.
Although the trip to the holy land of the human race is a major event that all countries are competing to participate in, and no one dares to interfere, there is no guarantee that some family will be so stupid as to ambush the rising star of a neighboring country on the way. A powerful bodyguard is indispensable.
During this trip, she was responsible for protecting the rookies' safety, and also giving them advice during the game, analyzing their opponents' strengths and weaknesses, and effectively implementing various tactics.
Translation translation, guidance to the younger generation of female teachers.
In the last decade, it was Zhu Mu who guided the younger generation, but now that the royal family has greater power and prestige, it is her turn to step up.
"I see."
Lu Bei nodded and said cheerfully, "Mr. Zhu, you are so polite. If I encounter an enemy that I cannot defeat, please come to my room to tutor me overnight."
"Bah, you really dare to say that!"
Zhu Xiushi spat lightly, turned his head and looked behind him, and said in a voice transmission: "Don't go too far, kid. Every time we meet, you have a different beauty by your side. After three times, there is not a single duplicate."
The first time was Zhao Shiran, the second time was Bai Jin, and the third time he still had some conscience and finally remembered that she was the princess of the Zhu family.
As for his character, Lu Bei decided to make an excuse: "Mr. Zhu misled me. Although I always change my confidante, I am actually a very nostalgic person. If you don't believe me, think about it and see if I have ever missed you."
"It's true. I, Zhu, thank you, Sect Master Lu, for your appreciation."
Zhu Xiushi thanked him in a sarcastic tone and told him to stop talking nonsense. It was impossible to give him private tutoring. If Lu Bei encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, it would be useless for her to go up and it might even make it more difficult for Lu Bei to win.
Moreover, in Zhu Xiushi's opinion, although the Human Race Holy Land Conference is held once every ten years and brings together the best young people in the world, no one can pose a threat to Lu Bei.
To her shame, after hearing that the human race's holy land was holding a prize-winning guessing contest, she decided to bet her entire fortune on Lu Bei, hoping to become as rich as a country overnight.
"By the way, where is this sect master's magic weapon? Did you bring it with you? Give it to me now!"
Noticing someone approaching him from behind, Lu Bei immediately changed his expression to serious. He stopped talking nonsense to Zhu Xiushi and spread out his clean white hands, asking for the treasure in exchange.
"Don't be impatient. You don't like ordinary stuff. I'm not ready yet." Zhu Xiushi held Lu Bei's hand, put his five fingers together one by one, and asked him to wait for a while.
Two months later, she gave Lu Bei whatever he wanted.
If you don’t have it, buy it. You’ve got money.
Zhu Qilan tiptoed to the wall, looked out, and found Lu Beizheng arm in arm with the elder of the family. His brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river), and he retreated without saying a word.
The two of them were whispering to each other, as if they had some unspeakable secret.
Zhu Qilan only heard thought-provoking words such as 'give it to me quickly', 'don't worry' and 'I'm not ready yet'. She stood silently in the pavilion, looking up at the sky, her confused eyes filled with doubts about life.
No, no, no, absolutely impossible!
Her husband is not interested in women, and the elders in his family are all pure and innocent. There is no possibility between the two of them. She must have missed something.
Yes, that's it.
Out of respect for her elders, Zhu Qilan did not deliberately disperse her spiritual thoughts. She just thought it was a misunderstanding. As magnanimous as she was, she turned around and forgot about it.
No way!
I must ask clearly later.
A moment later, the infantry division arrived, accompanied by Zhu Dao and Zhu Shihan.
Zhu Shihan's cultivation level in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm was at the bottom of the list, but he was born with a good fortune, with the fate of the Vermillion Bird, and obtained the Vermillion Bird treasure in the Four Gods Lake Secret Realm. In this Human Race Holy Land Conference, the Huangji Sect allocated a precious spot to him to broaden his horizons and not let Wu Zhou's well delay his bright future.
There is nothing much to say about Zhu Dao. Next year, the young hero's shelf life of 100 years will be over. Regardless of strength or realm, he is the strongest among the seven Zhus. Huangji Sect has high hopes for him and hopes that he can rank among the best like last time.
Master Bu Zi didn't see Lu Bei and was wondering where he had gone. Suddenly, a familiar hand stretched out from the corner of the wall. She didn't think too much about it. She asked everyone to take a short rest and set off immediately at sunset.
The stepmaster came behind the wall and saw the freshman Lu Bei and the teacher Zhu who was tutoring the students were arm in arm. He didn't think there was anything wrong and squatted next to Lu Bei skillfully.
Lu Bei raised his hands, one on the left and one on the right.
This scene, which should have been very problematic, seemed very normal to all three of them.
Zhu Qilan was an exception. She approached suspiciously and peeked from the wall. She saw three people squatting in a row, with Lu Bei hugging her left and right. She began to question her life again.
To be honest, as the person involved, shouldn't she be the one being hugged
To avoid misunderstanding, she decided to eavesdrop.
"Sister Bu, please explain. What do you mean there are examiners from the Holy Land of the Human Race on the way? Aren't we going directly to the Kunlun Mountains?"
"In order to prevent fakes from passing off the real ones, the Holy Land dispatched special personnel to conduct the assessment and eliminated a group of people along the way. They can go to the Holy Land with the real ones, but they have lost the qualification to participate in the competition." Master Bu Zi explained.
"Is it like this before?"
"Don't look at me, this is my first time, the Huangji Sect handled it before."
"There have been some before, but this time I drew Wu Zhou."
Master Bu Zi calmly replied that it was just a mere test and a formality for Lu Bei, and asked him to be more restrained and not to hurt the examiner.
