The sun is at noon.
Lu Bei pulled up his belt and left the imperial city.
When he walked out of the imperial garden, the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time came forward and handed him a token for entering and leaving the imperial city.
The reason why it was delayed until almost noon was not because there was a ventriloquist in the capital, but because after hastily finishing the matter, he began to practice dual cultivation, and it took a lot of time to teach the Yin-Yang Separation and Combination Technique.
Juxian Elegant Pavilion.
The old place, second floor.
Fox Three and Fox Four each took one side, grabbing the top star's hands.
Fumigation: …
"My second brother's eyes are dull today, his steps are weak and his lower body is unstable. He can be distracted even in the presence of a beautiful woman like Xun Yi. But what happened last night?"
"That's about right. It's pretty dangerous anyway."
Lu Bei sighed and talked about how life was not easy, but looking at his excited expression, it was clear that he was enjoying it.
"My dear brother, you couldn't resist the beauty trap and gave in to the royal family?"
"No, it was just a family dinner. I met my father-in-law and mother-in-law, that's all."
"Then what?"
"It was a good job."
"???" x2
Xun Yi tried to pull her hand out, but Lu Bei held it tightly, so she failed. Hu San frowned slightly and said some polite words, but he still fell into the trap of beauty.
"Don't worry, big brother. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. The Tianjian Sect is still strong and has nothing to do with our mother. The struggle between the royal family and the Huangji Sect will not involve others."
“It’s not that simple.”
Hu San sighed and began to give advice to Lu Bei: "Based on my understanding of the royal family, it is impossible for them to keep this sharp sword of yours idle to support the situation. They will first attack the Huangji Sect, and then... maybe the Grand Tutor, or Qi Yan or Xiong Chu."
"Wait a minute, let me interrupt first, why is it Taifu?" Lu Beiqi asked.
"The Grand Tutor is backed by the Yunzhong Pavilion. He has his own interests in helping the royal family. Now that the royal family has you, the Grand Tutor's value has dropped sharply. This business is almost over."
"What about godmother?"
"He is alone, and he is a high-level thug hired for money. His conflicts of interest are not related to the overall situation."
Fox Three made a scathing comment, not giving his mother any face at all, and finally added: "Because they can do things for money, it's not a bad idea to switch to the Huangji Sect. Second brother, don't worry about her. The old witch doesn't love anyone. Her whole heart, no, her whole person is black."
"Brother, continue."
"In my opinion, if you don't want to be used as a pawn by the royal family, you might as well make friends with Qi Yan and Xiong Chu. They don't lack princesses. You can just do it perfunctorily and then you can have a bowl of water when the time comes... Oh, Xuanlong's matter has been done. It turns out that you have been prepared for it. I was just too talkative."
"Is it possible that you misunderstood Xuanlong or something?"
Lu Bei shook his head, grabbed the top flow's hand and said, "Thank you for your advice, brother. Unfortunately, I am a clean man and I am known for not being close to women. I can't use your trick on me."
"Brother, is it possible that you don't know yourself well enough?"
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible."
Lu Bei slapped Dingliu's little hand, pointed his nose at Hu San, and said arrogantly: "Big brother's dirty tricks are indeed effective, but they are only suitable for you. My dear brother, what is my cultivation level? I am in the Fusion Stage. If an ordinary person in the Tribulation Stage comes, men can be killed without burying them, and women can cry and beg for mercy. Do I need to wrong myself?"
"… "
"Right? I'm not you. A truly strong person is fearless. No matter what conspiracy or conspiracy he has, I will destroy it all with one punch."
"… "
"By the way, big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. What is your current level of cultivation? Have you reached the level of refining emptiness?"
Lu Bei looked me up and down and said, "If you haven't reached the Refined Void stage yet, don't be so shameless as to sit at the same table with this Sect Master. If this gets out, where will I put my face? I can't afford to lose face!"
"… "
"What are you still standing there for? Let go of me. I can touch Xunyi's little hand, but can you? It's so funny. Squat down and take a piss and look in the mirror. You are not worthy of it!"
"… "
Fox Three was furious and slammed the door and left.
Lu Bei chuckled, pulled Dingliu's two little hands and rubbed them, then quickly caught up with his big brother.
In this world where looks matter, the top stars are still a little inferior to their big brothers.
On the street, Hu San turned into a rough-faced man. Lu Bei caught up with him, put his arm around his shoulder, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Although Juxian Yage is our own property, Xun Yi is an outsider after all. Is it inappropriate for us to make it so clear?"
"She is from Xuanyinsi."
"Then what?"
"I will obey Yu Tao."
"I understand."
Lu Bei nodded and continued, "I don't have any schedule for coming to the capital. I mainly want to pay New Year's greetings to my godmother. It's time to meet her."
"She is not at home. She is recuperating in the secret realm of the Imperial City."
"What, is godmother going to be struck by lightning?"
"Um."
Fox Three looked worried.
He always called her an old witch, and he and Lu Bei often planned to divide the family property a hundred years later. The premise was that Fox Two would do evil and no one could stop him. When the disaster really happened, he couldn't even laugh.
"Godmother, you are being too formal. Why don't you go to Zang Qianshan to find me?"
"Don't you have any dignity, old witch?"
Fox Three shrugged: "She knew you would come to the capital during the New Year, so she kept holding back. When you meet later, you must ask her. She reluctantly agreed the third time."
"What a weird personality, even though he's already old."
"Who said it wasn't? It's too difficult."
The two brothers went around in circles and soon arrived at the Imperial City. Lu Bei took out his token, and Hu San also had one. After verifying their identities, the two entered the secret passage through a teleportation array, and then another teleportation array, and then entered the secret realm of the Imperial City.
There are several entrances and exits to the Zhu family's secret imperial city. According to Hu San, he only knows three.
One connects to the Imperial Garden in the Imperial City and is an exclusive passage for royal family members; one is a secret passage in the Imperial City for use by guests and officials; and the last one is controlled by the Huangji Sect.
There was no Huangji Sect at that time. To be precise, the Zhu family was still a family of immortal practitioners, and there was no Huangji Sect of Wu Zhou.
Before the founding of Wu Zhou, the Zhu family was a first-class immortal cultivation family. The current imperial city secret realm was dug out after the ancestral tombs began to smoke. After 200 years of sedimentation, the power was large enough to threaten Qingqian. They joined forces with the then Huangji Sect and launched an army to seize Qingqian's territory and throne.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dogs are cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bows are put away.
The old Zhu family infiltrated the Huangji Sect and gradually turned it into a one-man show of power by the Zhu family. Over the next hundred years, the Huangji Sect gradually became unruly, with the majority bullying the minority and their power overwhelmed the royal family.
To get back to the point, the Imperial City Secret Realm is about the size of two states, with continuous mountain ranges and abundant spiritual energy, including many snow-capped peaks that pierce the sky and are hidden in the clouds.
There are snow-capped mountains in the distance, waterfalls nearby, and rare and exotic animals running and playing.
In the secret realm, there are ancestors of the Zhu royal family who practice diligently. For example, one of the old emperors Lu Bei was familiar with, Zhu Qilan’s great-grandfather Zhu Jingli, had a palace here.
The same goes for Hu Er and Taifu. They were people invited by the royal family to the tribulation-transcending period. Each of them had a palace on a mountain to practice meditation and avoid thunder tribulations.
Lu Bei looked into the distance, listened to the waves in the forest, and saw pavilions and towers looming in the corner of the green hills, feeling a little emotional.
Normally, there would be a hand reaching out from the corner to seduce him.
The result is no.
The feelings eventually faded.
…
The wind rolls up the spiritual mist.
The two brothers were walking on a stone path in the mountains. In a short while, several white foxes came following the smell and started jumping and hopping around the fox's legs, making small sounds.
Fox Three skillfully took out the apples and fed them one by one.
"Brother, do they also have the blood of the nine-tailed fox?"
Lu Bei then took out the apples that he always had in stock and used them to tease Hubo and the other five little foxes. Seeing that his godmother had so many foxes at home, he was quite annoyed for a moment and thought he should have brought Hubo and the others over as well.
The five little foxes should like their godmother's fox den more than Zang Qianshan.
"Maybe. They were originally wild foxes in the mountains. Mother saw how innocent they were, so she enlightened their intelligence and purified their blood." After feeding the foxes apples, Fox Three clapped his hands and continued to move forward.
Enlighten your spiritual wisdom!
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, and was eager to try out the difference between his skills in enlightening the little demon's intelligence and Fox Er's.
Let’s discuss this later. After all, this is the fox raised by Fox Two, so he can’t act on his own.
"By the way, big brother, you are such a weakling, but you can actually transform. Is it our mother's doing?"
"… "
"Haha, you're playing it deep again."
Lu Bei smiled and patted Hu San's shoulder, saying that only the strong are worthy of being profound, while the weak are called inferior. Then he said even more difficult to understand words, such as woodshed and basement, which made him laugh.
Fox Three's face flushed red, and veins on his forehead popped out. He was not as strong as the other person, so whatever he said was just quibbling, so he just continued to pretend to be deep.
Qingqiu Palace.
Lu Bei stood in front of the palace, looking at the plaque thoughtfully. The Shan Hai Jing cookbook said that in the country of Qingqiu, there was a fox with nine tails.
There were so many coincidences that every time he thought he was living in a false data world.
Little white foxes could be seen everywhere inside and outside Qingqiu Palace, chasing each other or gathering together to comb their fur. After seeing Fox Three, they rushed to the front, allowing Lu Bei to catch up on his Yingyu.
It took Fox Three quite some time to deal with the little fox that was robbing people on the road. He patted his clothes and led Lu Bei into the palace.
The hall was dark and silent, without servants, and it looked cold and lifeless.
If this is the daily life of a high-level cultivator, Lu Bei said he couldn't accept it. He could endure loneliness, but he couldn't endure being lonely all the time, especially in the dead of night. If he didn't hold on to something, he would always feel uneasy.
There is a garden pavilion behind the palace.
The beautiful figure slowly turns around, her exquisite face is without any makeup, her eyebrows are lightly drawn, her black hair is draped like a waterfall, and her clothes are flying in the breeze.
Fox Two was wrapped in green clothes, with a slight smile on his face. His eyes were like the rippling lake light under the moon, cold and deep. The slightly raised corners of his mouth outlined his elegant orchid temperament, noble and proud, so beautiful that he seemed otherworldly.
Lu Bei really wanted to describe Hu Er like this, but he couldn't. Her figure was too charming, and her slight smile was full of allure.
Even so, he still restrained himself in front of the younger generation.
As expected of a top-level ground-type nine-tailed fox, it is...
A little bit worse than the eldest brother, maybe we can tie with him if he puts on some makeup.
"Good boy, you are finally here." Fox Er stepped forward and extended his hand towards Lu Bei.
The fragrant breeze blew on his face, and Lu Bei's spirits were lifted. Recalling the awful scene, he subconsciously took a half step back.
However, it was useless. Fox Er grabbed her and brought her into his arms, rubbing her hard twice: "What do you mean, little brat? Big brother can hug you, but godmother can't?"
"My godmother is a goddess. I am ashamed of myself and dare not offend her." Lu Bei explained in a muffled voice.
After saying that, he was rubbed hard twice again.
Lu Bei: …
“That’s more like it!”
Hu Er had no intention of letting go, with a playful gleam in his eyes: "It is said outside that my son is lustful and dares to touch any woman, even the master is no exception. After seeing it today, my son is still quite innocent."
"The whole world is drunk, but my godmother is sober and understands me."
"Mother, there's me too!"
Seeing the deep love between mother and son, Fox Three immediately became unhappy and stretched out his arms, waiting for the mother's love to come.
"Oh, you're here too."
