January 23rd.
The shuttle arrived at Wu Zhou, and Lu Bei said goodbye to everyone at the West King's Mansion.
The original plan was that the shuttle would fly all the way to the capital of Wu Zhou. As the first place in the conference, Lu Bei would be received by a group of retired emperors from the Zhu family. They would eat and drink together and meet their parents, and spend the New Year in the capital.
Plans are not as fast as changes. She Xuan's retreat ended. She was almost moldy from staying in the small dark room. Lu Bei was anxious to take her back to Sanqing Peak and had no time to bother with the emperor of the Zhu family.
On the grounds that the leader of the Tianjian Sect was very busy, he said goodbye to Zhu Qilan in advance and promised to arrive in the capital before the New Year.
Zhu Qilan really wanted to leave with Lu Bei, but since the number one was gone, she, the number two, had to stay. She told Lu Bei to go to Changming Mansion before leaving for the capital and bring the housekeeper Zhu Baiyu with him.
Lu Bei nodded, and the golden light faded away, heading straight for Changming Mansion of Yizhou Prefecture.
In front of the mansion, there was a long line of carriages and horses, and there was an endless stream of outstanding people coming to give gifts.
Zhu Qilan won the second place in the Holy Land Conference, surpassing geniuses from various countries. His future is limitless. His market price soared, and even the threshold for gift giving became higher.
There are rumors in the outside world that the eldest princess and the leader of the Tianjian Sect, who is also the first place in this conference, have already secretly decided to spend their lives together. They are basically married. Giving gifts is equivalent to giving shares, so whoever gives gifts to whom is a great enemy.
Later, there were rumors that the private engagement was a piece of fake news spread by peers, in order to take advantage of the bad reputation of Lu Bei, the leader of the Tianjian Sect, and suppress his competitors to leave. Whoever did not send him off would be the biggest victim.
True and false, confusing. Whether you give it or not, you are a big fool. There is no way to deal with these big fools.
After thinking it over, they decided to add more money.
The reason was simple. The Tianjian Sect had never heard of the rumor, and Changming Mansion had not mentioned it either, which meant that the two had not secretly decided to get married. If he continued to send gifts, he might not be able to win the favor of the princess, but withdrawing would only benefit his competitors, and the previous gifts would be in vain.
Even if the two of them secretly get married, that doesn't matter. When Lu Bei becomes the second Qi Li Jing, they will have one more thing to brag about.
Do you know the invincible Lu Bei? He used to be my love rival, but I would have won if I had only missed by a hundred million.
Add money, you must add money.
In the swimming pool, Lu Bei was soaking in the water, hugging Butler Yu with an apologetic look on his face.
He broke his promise. When he left, he vowed to quickly defeat his cousin through mahjong. However, who would have thought that the latter would guard against him very tightly. It didn't matter if she hugged him, but when it came to the critical moment, she would be ignorant and would not be persuaded by any persuasion.
Housekeeper Yu sat on the hard seat, covering her mouth with her hands and giggling. After years of companionship, she knew Zhu Qilan's character very well. She knew that Lu Bei would return empty-handed on this trip.
She looked at Lu Bei with seductive eyes. The eldest princess was not in Changming Mansion, and the master of the family had the final say, so he might as well be bolder.
After saying that, he lowered his head and sank into the water.
After spending two days in Changming Prefecture, Lu Bei and Steward Yu set a time to leave for the capital, and headed straight for the Jiuzhu Mountain in Ningzhou.
The player professional competition has ended. Because Xiao Fengxian was eliminated, Lu Bei did not pay much attention to the subsequent competitions. He only knew that the world championship was won by a professional player from Taiyi Sect.
The character model is a pretty boy, and looks kind of annoying.
Although the professional competition has ended, version 1.0 is still ongoing. The official left a message on the forum that the version will be updated around March and version 2.0 will be launched soon.
There is not much time left for the players, and they all get up early and work hard to gain experience, hoping to master the method of Xiantian Yiqi before the arrival of version 2.0.
Be quick and don't delay.
The Xiantian Yiqi can only be synthesized in the Baodan period, which is level 40-59. Once you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again and will have to delete your account and start over.
…
At Sanqing Peak, She Xuan returned to her own territory and rushed to the kitchen without stopping to prepare a table of delicious food for Lu Bei.
Elder She is a master of cooking, and his ability to poison is also improving day by day. Only Lu Bei can do this, and others really don’t have the luxury of it.
But soon, Elder She became unhappy.
In the backyard, Lu Bei held a plate of roast goose, his face greasy as he ate with relish, proving with practical actions that She Yan had conquered his stomach.
She Yan was very happy. After cleaning up the pots and pans, he began to inspect his territory.
After a while, she found evidence of Lu Bei's infidelity in the next room. The empty room was cleaned up, and there were a few more fragrant clothes in the empty room's closet.
She Xuan was very sure that this was not her room.
She had been in seclusion for five months, her home was stolen, and the little bitch moved to…
Wait a moment.
She Xuan's heart tightened, and she asked cautiously, "Who lives in this room? Is it Senior Sister Bai?"
Seeing her nervous look, Lu Bei was amused and teased, "Elder She, if it is really Senior Sister Bai, what will you do?"
She Xuan frowned and said fiercely: "Don't interrupt, tell the truth quickly, who is it!"
She understood what was said and realized that the person living in the next door was not Bai Jin. She immediately felt confident. The golden-scaled snake was no longer sleepy. It hissed and turned into golden light, running around the yard.
"Zhao Shiran, Elder Zhao."
"It's that bitch again. She took advantage of me not being around and secretly..."
She Xuan gnashed her teeth and halfway through her words, she realized something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Isn't it Master Zhao? How did she become Elder Zhao? She hooked up with a married man, ruined her reputation, and was driven out by the disciples?"
"Elder Zhao of Yuhua Sect, she is no longer the head of Piaoxiang Sect."
Lu Bei explained the whole cause and effect truthfully. Zhao Shiran's path of cultivation was difficult, and he couldn't bear it for a moment, so he taught him the cultivation method. Seeing that he was homeless, he couldn't bear it again, so he took the opportunity to recruit him as his disciple while passing on the skills.
"You... you were fooled!"
She Xuan was heartbroken. Lu Bei was still young and didn't know the evil woman's despicable means. Zhao Shiran didn't want to be homeless, so he pretended to be pitiful and took advantage of Lu Bei's kindness to find a legitimate excuse for himself.
Today she sold herself to Yuhua Sect in the name of repaying a favor, and tomorrow she dared to repay kindness with hatred and bully the Sect Master. Her heart is worthy of death. For the sake of the peace of Sanqing Peak and Jiuzhu Mountain, she should clean up the sect as soon as possible.
The golden-scaled snake hissed and said that what She Yan said was right and that one must be on guard against treacherous villains. It waited for Zhao Shiran to appear and then bit him to death.
"That's not the case. Elder Zhao is quite powerful. This leader wants to carry forward the Yuhua Sect, so he has to borrow her help."
"hehe."
She Xuan sneered twice, turned her head and looked at the side muttering, saying things like getting tired of the old and liking the new, fickle, old and ugly, the new generation replaces the old...
As he spoke, he began to sob.
The golden-scaled snake coiled on top of She Xuan's head, hissing towards the sky. Lu Bei didn't understand snake language, and couldn't understand what the little snake sister was saying, but it was not difficult to guess that it was probably because the unfaithful man was not worth it, and from now on the two sisters would stick together through thick and thin, holding the same umbrella.
Two acting geniuses.
Lu Bei rolled his eyes, turned She Xuan's shoulders, lowered his head, kissed her deeply, and blocked her mouth. He did it all in one go and immediately stopped her chattering.
"Be good and listen to me. Elder Zhao now worships the Grand Tutor as his master. That's the Grand Tutor, a notoriously ruthless man in Wu Zhou. I also want to cling to him and be a great man who can transcend tribulations." Lu Bei praised with pain.
"Let her move away and live in the camp halfway up the mountain. Anyway, she is not allowed to move around in my territory..."
She Xuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Lu Bei with red eyes: "I will practice hard and become more powerful than the master in the future. Don't let her live here, okay?"
Lu Bei secretly felt distressed and said that the scumbag deserved to die. He put his arm around She Xuan's shoulders and nodded.
That night, Elder She fell ill and was bedridden.
The symptoms are difficult to describe, but the treatment is simple and can be cured completely. Just give yourself a tube of suppositories and the medicine will work until the disease is cured.
If it’s not cured, give another shot.
Three days later, She Xuan squeezed Lu Bei till there was not a drop left, and continued her retreat contentedly. Lu Bei told her that he was going to the capital to see his godmother during the New Year, but she also insisted on her retreat.
The target is the Taifu, and he should go into seclusion as soon as possible. After he comes out, she will be his strong partner, so that the pretty boy won't have to rely on other women.
—
"What a pity that such a good woman fell into my hands!" Lu Bei sighed as he held the beauty in his arms.
"who?"
Zhan Hongqu touched Lu Bei's face: "Is it me?"
"Well, Senior Sister is a good woman!"
"No way, you must be talking about Junior Sister Bai..."
Zhan Hongqu muttered to himself, with something on his mind, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
"What's wrong? You look so gloomy. Did that kid Zhan Lexian ask you to tell him that he wants to be the deputy leader now that he has grown strong enough?"
Lu Bei raised his hand to hold down his frowning brows, then slowly relaxed them. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll beat him up and he'll stop."
Zhan Hongqu got angry when he heard this, punched Lu Bei in the chest, turned his head to look to the side, and said sullenly: "Last month, after you left, something strange happened..."
"Shu."
"Evening, is that okay?"
"…" x2
Seeing Lu Bei's expression of 30% shock, 30% surprise, and 40% eagerness to try, Zhan Hongqu came to his senses, became so angry that his face turned red, and punched him again.
"Be serious, I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
"I'm talking about big things, too."
Lu Bei retorted subconsciously, but seeing that Zhan Hongqu was still embarrassed, he asked her not to interrupt, to take the initiative to admit her mistake, and to tell her the truth about what had happened.
"In mid-December, I went to the eastern border to change guard. It was very close to the border of Xiongchu State, and I encountered a masked swordsman who provoked me. I used my Immortal Sword Intent but was unable to do anything to the opponent." Zhan Hongqu recounted the story with lingering fear and a very bad look on his face.
Is it true that Xiong Chu has such a swordsman
Lu Bei was greatly surprised, his eyes flashed, and he thought of the word "Daoyun". He couldn't wait to ask: "Is the swordsman a man or a woman? Is she pretty?"
"It should be a woman, and..."
Zhan Hongqu swallowed his saliva and said timidly: "If I am not mistaken, she also used the Immortal Sword Intent."
"…" x2
The room was silent, and the two of them stared at each other.
Lu Bei didn't say anything. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Beijun Mountain. Zhan Hongqu nodded cautiously.
It was exposed so quickly!
Lu Bei's eyelids twitched. There were different ways of practicing the Immortal Sword Intentions, like his unorthodox one, and even more unorthodox ones like Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu. After confirming that he was the only one who inherited the Abandoned Sword Sutra, the identity of the mysterious female swordsman was not difficult to guess.
Bai Jin robbed someone on the way and found out that Zhan Hongqu possessed the immortal sword intent.
"What should I do, Junior Sister Bai... I won't kill you, will I?"
Why only me and not us
Oh, you've survived.
"Probably not. I have a thick skin."
Lu Bei grinned and touched Zhan Hongqu's worried little head: "Don't panic, it's my **senior sister who is practicing the Immortal Sword Intent, the fault is not yours, you are just devoted to the sword, leave it to me, we will go to Beijun Mountain tomorrow."
"But… "
Zhan Hongqu felt uneasy: "Why don't you go now? If you delay until tomorrow, Junior Sister Bai will be even angrier."
"Impossible, the matter is very serious, she won't be even angrier, and you just promised me, Senior Sister, that there is something important to do tonight, how can I be the kind of person who doesn't keep my word."
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and said responsibly, "Leave it to me. As long as I am serious, I can still behave like a clan leader even when I kneel down and beg for mercy."
"… "
"By the way, I will be spending the New Year in the capital this year. Senior sister, would you like to join me? My godmother lives in the capital." Lu Bei held Zhan Hongqu's hand.
Meet the parents!
Zhan Hongqu was overjoyed, thinking that the dead man still had some conscience. Just as he was about to agree, his face darkened.
"Let Junior Sister Bai go, maybe she won't be angry anymore."
It's a pity for you!
…
At night, the stars are sparse.
After Lu Bei and Zhan Hongqu finished discussing important matters, they turned and arrived at Dayue Treasure House.
He kicked the door open, picked and chose, and took out a few handy sword-shaped magic weapons, preparing to use them as consumables to upgrade his own magic weapons.
Lu Bei was born in Xuanyin Division, and was influenced and taught by his elder brother Hu San. He felt no guilt in abusing his power for personal gain. According to the Hu brothers, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Isn't it useless to be the leader/pure guard
After taking a few magic weapons, Lu Bei entered the secret realm of Cangqian Mountain. He met Qin Fangtian in front of the thatched cottage, threw him a spirit beast bag, and asked him to build a spirit pond to take good care of the nine dragon fish.
Since this matter concerns the fortune of the Tianjian Sect, Qin Fangtian happily went to do the work.
After an acre of thin farmland, there was another fish pond. His cultivation became more leisurely, which was in line with his salted fish temperament.
"Print it!"
In front of the thatched cottage, Lu Bei stretched out his hand and waited for a moment, then two people, one seal and one demon, arrived.
Xiao Fengxian, Wei Yu, Xiao Zuanfeng.
The big seal flew across the sky, and the three of them jumped to the ground.
"Master."
"Greetings, Great King!"
"Master, you are finally back."
Wei Yu rushed to Lu Bei first, slid to hug his thighs, and cried that there was no time in the mountains and she missed her master and her parents.
As the New Year was approaching, Lu Bei couldn't keep the person locked up any longer, so he asked Wei Yu to wait aside and he would take her back to Beijun Mountain later.
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Wei Yu: "Here are two million taels. Use them to buy some small toys for your parents. Say that I have something to do during the New Year and cannot spare the time. After the New Year, I will go to my cousin's house to apologize in person and invite him to the best brothel in Yuezhou for some fun."
My parents are not children anymore, if they want something to play with, it’s enough for them to play with me!
Wei Yu was holding a stack of banknotes, jumping up and down on the spot, smiling innocently.
"What's wrong? You look so gloomy, are you not used to squatting to pee?" Lu Bei looked at Xiao Fengxian. The little flat face was full of happiness, and he probably hasn't come out of the shadow of the defeat in the competition.
"That's not the case. I was..."
Halfway through her words, Xiao Fengxian shook her head and changed her words: "Thank you for your concern, Master. I was just thinking of something sad."
"Have you never fought against the enemy's mountain gate?"
"I have fought, but now I have more enemies."
"It's normal. Just get used to it. This is how cultivation works."
Lu Bei said a few words of encouragement, took back the Fantian Seal, waved his hand to drive Xiao Fengxian away, and let Xiao Zuanfeng accompany her to continue to gain experience.
It was New Year's Day and he had nothing to do, so he wanted to use the Shuangxuanbaotu to turn Xiao Fengxian back into a man, but the latter didn't seem to have any intention of doing so, so he simply didn't force it.
…
Beijun Mountain.
Lu Bei brought Wei Yu to Wuwang Peak. Just as he had imagined, Bai Jin was in seclusion and ignored him.
He breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing to avoid her. If Bai Jin came towards him with a sweet smile as if nothing had happened, he would definitely turn around and run away without saying a word.
"Master, Master sent me a message saying..."
Wei Yu tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Master asked you to leave in a smooth way and not come to Wuwang Peak for ten years. Master, did you have a fight?"
"Nothing serious. We quarreled at the head of the bed and made up at the foot of the bed. It will be fine in two days."
Lu Bei shrugged, found a corner in the studio, sat cross-legged under the portrait of the Grand Tutor, took out a few magic weapons and began to practice.
Focus on Fantian Seal.
In the holy land of the human race, he exchanged the heads of the demons for many magic weapons, and left eighteen of them specifically for the Fantian Seal.
While waiting for Bai Jin, he was performing the ritual at the same time, so he didn't delay either.
After a while, Lu Bei rummaged through his warehouse again, intending to clear out the inventory in one go, and took out a black bead from the corner.
"What is this thing? Does this sect master have this magic weapon?"
"Not of high quality..."
"Oh, right, the Yama Pearl. I found it next to that person's corpse."
"Hey, why is there a new subordinate? Which unlucky guy was imprisoned by the blood bead?"
