"Don't mention the past anymore. Life has been full of ups and downs. Even if the memories can't be erased, the love and hate are still in the heart..."
In front of the quiet room, Lu Bei hummed bitterly.
What you fear will come true. He never thought that She Xuan and Zhu Qilan would face the calamity on the same day.
"You can't play with me like that. If you are dissatisfied with me, just be ruthless and kill me with a bolt of lightning."
Lu Bei looked up at the sky, took small steps back and forth, and smiled: "I see, you are still angry about Kunpeng, there is no need to, I have forgiven myself, you are more generous than the sky, why can't you let it go!"
"What are you doing hanging around outside? Come in and tell me what you want to say."
Just as Lu Bei was chattering, Zhu Qilan's voice came from the quiet room. This damn devil, I haven't seen him for a while, but he still likes to disturb people's peace.
"Cousin, I'm going in!"
Lu Bei clenched his fist and hummed, then pushed the door open and walked into the quiet room. He sat cross-legged on the couch, embraced his slender waist, and practiced both yin and yang. He completed the three steps in one go, and it was obvious that he had practiced a lot.
Zhu Qilan showed disgust on the surface but was happy in his heart. He leaned on Lu Bei's shoulder and secretly inhaled the fragrance of the pretty boy.
They all smell like Butler Yu!
She snorted coldly: "Why is Sect Master Lu not in Tianjian Sect to receive blessings and running to a remote place like Changming County?"
"Then I'll leave?"
"… "
Facing Zhu Qilan's gnashing teeth, Lu Bei chuckled, raised his delicate chin, and lowered his head for a deep kiss.
After a moment, Zhu Qilan pushed away the annoying pretty boy and said the same thing again, it was all the smell of Butler Yu.
"I heard that Your Highness is going through a tribulation, so I came all the way here. I only hope that I can protect Your Highness from the wind and rain, and I have no other requests."
"Would you be so kind?"
"Of course it's true. In Wu Zhou, who doesn't know the reputation of the Tianjian Sect's leader for his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism?" Lu Bei said righteously.
"Loyalty to the emperor and love for the country... How dare you say that?"
Zhu Qilan rolled his eyes and said, "A great sage like Sect Master Lu only appears once in a thousand years. My Zhu family is not lucky enough to bear your loyalty."
"You can't say that. As the saying goes, a wise minister chooses his master and then kills him. It's definitely not my fault. It's the Zhu family who is unkind." Thinking about the Xuanlong Zhao family and the Zhaoqin Jiang family, Lu Bei deeply agreed.
"snort!"
Zhu Qilan turned his head, leaving behind a beautiful back of his head.
Lu Bei didn't take it seriously and started saying sweet words.
The reason why tsundere has faded out of the market these days is not because the market is too competitive, but because their awkward personality of saying one thing and thinking another has become well known to the public, and a complete set of strategies and techniques have been introduced.
No matter how stubborn a tsundere is, he will fail miserably when faced with this strategy. Over time, the public will find it boring and tsundere will naturally fade away.
With the perfect strategy in hand, Lu Bei was able to deceive Zhu Qilan three times in one night, and then be deceived by her three times again. With just a few words, he made the princess happy.
"Cousin, are you going to survive the tribulation in three days?"
"Bai Yu told you?"
Zhu Qilan was slightly displeased: "I told her not to spread the news, but she still couldn't control her mouth."
"No way, Sister Yu is very tight-lipped. It took me a lot of effort to get her to tell the truth."
Lu Bei held her shoulders: "Besides, she cares about you."
"You do love her!"
"I love you too!"
Lu Bei turned his shoulders and looked into her stubborn eyes, saying solemnly, "Cousin, you have a strong temper, which is a good thing, but you have the fate of a white tiger, and the tribulation is dangerous and unpredictable. You must have me by your side to protect you."
"Can… "
"No buts, I have the final say in Changming Mansion."
Lu Bei made the final decision and domineeringly set the rules for how to overcome the tribulation in three days. The two of them had a clear division of labor, Zhu Qilan was responsible for winning without doing anything, and he was responsible for moving forward with the passage of time on his back.
Maybe it was because the pretty boy was rarely serious, or maybe his domineering attitude touched her heart, Zhu Qilan's cheeks turned red and he lowered his head, his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
This damn guy finally learned to speak human language.
Bang!
"Why are you like Sister Yu, unable to walk when you see me?"
Lu Bei patted his butt, injected a huge amount of innate Qi, and then sent Zhu Qilan into the small single room: "Consolidate your realm well, and leave the rest to me. It's just a heavenly tribulation. With me here, even God can't touch you."
An hour later, Lu Bei left Changming Prefecture and headed straight for Zangqian Mountain in Yuezhou.
There was no way. Butler Yu looked so pitiful. Seeing the master come and go in a hurry, he forced himself to smile, looking like an abandoned little pet.
Lu Bei couldn't bear to see Chi Bian being wronged, so he took time out of his busy schedule to let her cry for an hour.
—
Yuezhou is home to thousands of mountains.
Lu Bei arrived at his loyal Tianjian Sect like a thief. At the gate, he glanced at the Xuanlong diplomatic residence across the street, fearing that the white-haired girl would invite him in to dance in all her splendor.
It really can’t happen today. There is not a drop of desire left. Without worldly desires, I cannot appreciate high art.
According to the usual process, when Lu Bei arrived in Yuezhou, his first target should be Beijun Mountain's Wuwang Peak. He would forcefully penetrate the area and break up the forces of his two senior sisters.
As long as he's around, Red and White can forget about forming a couple.
By the way, he took out the Infinite Sword Classic that he had prepared for a long time, so that the two senior sisters could comprehend the Infinite Dao Rhythm as soon as possible.
Lu Bei didn't dare to go, he was afraid.
I was afraid that once I saw the two senior sisters, I would get the surprise of transcending the tribulation in three days.
From a purely personal perspective, this is no different from executing the person three days later.
The Tianjian Sect was unusually quiet today. There were only a few disciples, big and small, participating in the sword-fighting competition in the training ground. Lu Bei flew over and found that the Tianjian Peak, which was crowded with people in the past, was also deserted today.
This was a big problem. Lu Bei narrowed his eyes, suspecting that the Huangji Sect had made a comeback and was going to attack the unarmed Tianjian Sect again.
"This is outrageous! This is bullying an old man!"
Lu Bei snorted coldly and decided to attack the capital to purge the emperor's court. He also pulled Zhu Xiuyun, who was lying on the sickbed, to seek justice.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
The Nine Swords Elder 'Daweitian' Xie Qingyi who was patrolling the mountain happened to pass by. Seeing that his own leader had a ferocious face and an ominous aura, he hurried forward to salute.
He knew this expression, and based on past experience, someone was about to be in trouble again.
In order to prevent the number one wrongdoer Zhan Lexian from getting hurt and dying three steps away from the clan leader, Xie Qingyi raised his voice and tried to clear up the unfounded misunderstanding.
"What do you mean by beheading or not? This sect master doesn't even know who this old fellow is. What's going on at the mountain gate today? Where have all the people gone?"
At this point, Lu Bei said sinisterly: "Elder Xie, just speak up, but why is the Huangji Sect causing trouble and relying on its large numbers to bully our Tianjian Sect, which has a small number of people?"
"Master, you are joking. In this huge Yuezhou, all the big and small forces have to look to us for help... They all have to act according to the Master's mood. How can there be any Huangji Sect?"
Xie Qingyi smiled dryly, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, and explained: "Master, today is a good day for Elder Mu. Calculating the time, it's time to start."
After Xie Qingyi's explanation, Lu Bei finally understood that when Mu Lichen was undergoing the tribulation, several Nine Swords elders went to protect him, and many elite disciples of the Sky Sword Sect and the Lingxiao Sword Sect, a friendly unit of the branch company, also went.
"It's not like the more lively the tribulation is, the better. Why gather so many people? Are you worried that this sect master's master will not be able to survive the tribulation safely?"
Lu Bei complained, and confirmed again and again that the Huangji Sect did not come knocking on his door. He was quite disappointed, and changed the topic: "Is it because of that old guy Zhan Lexian's suggestion that so many people went to watch the ceremony?"
"That's not the case..."
"Um?!"
"… "
Xie Qingyi stopped talking in time, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, not wanting to get involved in the conflict in the clan leader's backyard.
Even though Elder Zhan was bullied by the Sect Master all the time, and Elder Zhan took the blame for everything that went wrong, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Sect Master took great care of Elder Zhan's beloved daughter, protecting her until she died, and even taught her the sect's greatest inheritance, the Immortal Sword Intent.
Because of this relationship, among the Nine Sword Elders, no one except Mu Lichen dares to be qualified to be on equal footing with Zhan Lexian.
"It turns out that it was that old guy who did this!"
Lu Bei snorted coldly, asked about the place where Mu Lichen transcended the tribulation, and then turned into golden light and rushed away.
0.25 seconds later, he went back the way he came, frowning anxiously: "Well, since people from Lingxiao Sword Sect are here, is the third generation disciple Bai Jin..."
"Master, both of our wives are here to watch the ceremony," Xie Qingyi replied.
Hey, you look like a guy who can do great things!
Lu Bei nodded with relief, patted Xie Qingyi on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing as a sect master's wife, and there are two of them. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out?"
"What the Sect Master said is absolutely right."
"Well, considering your hard work and great contributions, I will not pursue the matter today. Remember, the dignity of the mountain sect must not be damaged. Don't mention this again. If I hear gossip outside in the future, I will punish you severely and will not forgive you for serious crimes."
"As ordered by the Sect Master."
Xie Qingyi bowed and asked his disciples to spread the news widely, making sure Lu Bei could hear the gossip.
“Do a good job!”
Lu Bei took out a Qiankun Ring and disappeared in a flash.
After a moment, Xie Qingyi, who was calm and composed, began to tremble all over, tears blurred her eyes, and she vowed to break her body for Lu Bei.
—
To the east of Qianshan Mountain.
The mountains are barren and sparsely populated.
Under the gloomy thunderclouds, the Nine Sword Elders including Zhan Lexian and Lian Lin were guarding the surroundings with swords in hand to prevent any passing wild cultivators from disturbing Mu Lichen's tribulation.
The latter stood calmly on the top of the mountain, holding the Nine Swords Great Yantian in his hand, and asked the heaven with a sincere sword heart.
From afar, one could see hundreds of sword cultivators gathered in groups to watch, either with curiosity or admiration, staring at Mu Lichen with bated breath.
Boom—
When the first bolt of lightning struck, Mu Lichen's body shook, and he used his sword to resist the power of the thunder.
Lu Bei stood behind the crowd, shouting "Earth, Fire, Water, Wind" and squeezed to the front, inserting himself between the black and white.
The black clothes are red and the white clothes are white brocade.
I haven't brought them with me for a while, and I feel like both of them have lost a lot of weight.
"Senior Sister, what a coincidence, you are here too!"
Seeing the pretty boy suddenly appear, Bai Jin and Zhan Hongqu were both stunned and couldn't help but give him a good look.
But seeing Lu Bei wanted to hug her in broad daylight, he immediately kept a distance from her and his expression became indifferent.
"Today is a good day. It is truly a wise move for the ancestor to choose today to transcend the tribulation."
Lu Bei forced himself to find a topic, and after a few awkward words, he asked anxiously: "Two senior sisters, are you also about to pass the tribulation?"
Hearing this, the cold look on Bai Jin's face disappeared, Zhan Hongqu smiled sweetly, and feeling the pretty boy's meticulous care, they all nodded.
"I will pass the tribulation in three days. When that happens, please come and watch the ceremony."
"Master, Junior Sister Bai and I both studied swordsmanship and passed the tribulation on the same day."
"… "
Lu Bei: …
"metropolitan?!"
"Master, please speak!"
"I, I, I... I'm going to go back and prepare. You guys watch Master get struck by lightning first. I, I'll be right back."
Lu Bei forced himself to put on a sad face, turned stiffly and walked towards Zang Qianshan, moving his hands and feet together, walking faster and faster. With his last step, he broke through the void and rushed straight to the secret realm of Zang Qianshan.
BANG!!
Lu Bei was shocked and rushed to the palace gate. He kicked and knocked over two doors. He looked at the empty palace and took a deep breath:
"Master, save me—"
