Zhao Shiran is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is gentle and peaceful. In this materialistic world of immortal cultivation, there are not many good women as gentle as her.
From another perspective, it was precisely because he was incompatible with the world of immortal cultivation that Zhao Shiran had a miserable life and struggled in the first half of his life.
It was not until he met Lu Bei that he found a quiet place.
Perhaps because he was too gentle, Zhao Shiran had no opinion of his own and was submissive towards Lu Bei. He would rather suffer injustice himself than cause him any trouble.
For example, this time, in order to facilitate his practice so that he could use the furnace and tripod at any time, the Taifu moved Jingshang Palace from the capital to Zangqian Mountain.
She followed him to Lu Bei's territory, and when she heard that the Tianjian Sect had two wives, she never left the house, and was so low-key that she almost isolated herself from the world.
Bah, scumbag!
As a person, Lu Bei couldn't bear it anymore, so he dragged Zhao Shiran out of Jingshang Palace and went sightseeing with her to relax.
Zhao Shiran felt like a thorn in his back, fearing that someone would see him and cause the Tianjian Sect to spread gossip about Lu Bei.
"Don't be afraid, no one will see it, even if someone does... hehe."
Lu Bei curled his lips: "For example, the old farmer just now, if you ask him, I guarantee he wouldn't dare to fart."
When it comes to the majesty and means of the sect leader, he is still very confident.
"It's about time to go back."
Zhao Shiran didn't understand what was said and tugged at Lu Bei's sleeve. He felt uneasy and had no intention of appreciating the scenery of the secret realm. He just wanted to go back to the quiet room in Jingshang Palace as soon as possible.
"What are you afraid of? You didn't do anything wrong. If someone really asks you about it, just put the blame on me."
Lu Bei refused to do so. Zhao Shiran was too weak, which made him unable to resist the desire to protect her. He walked around for two hours before sending her back to Jingshang Palace.
"Practice well, I will come to see you another day. Don't indulge in the love between husband and wife, there are still many days to come!"
Then, he squeezed out another hour to practice dual cultivation, and said all the sweet words he could think of, and then left under Zhao Shiran's reluctant gaze.
"Master Lu is very courageous. He has a beautiful woman with him right after returning to the mountain. He is not afraid of being seen by others."
Zhu Xiushi poked his head out from the bushes, holding a jade slip in his hand, indicating that he had recorded the evidence.
Three days later is an auspicious day, Yidao will die.
Lu Bei was a bit of a spoiled brat, so he didn't take the jade slip seriously and said jokingly, "Sister Zhu, what you said makes sense. I wonder if the beauty you mentioned accompanying this sect master is you?"
Zhu Xiushi's face darkened, thinking that she was asking for trouble. She put away the jade slip, walked quickly to Lu Bei's side, raised her hand and performed a sealing spell.
"What?"
"Chance."
"Tsk, you really know how to seize opportunities."
"This is how cultivation works."
Zhu Xiushi was not ashamed of it, but she was not proud of it either. She complained that Lu Bei did not abide by the code of conduct and did not take her with him when he went to Zhaoqin to collect treasures.
As he spoke, he tightened the seal and asked Lu Bei what he had gained from this trip.
"I didn't gain anything. I just had some interactions with the monks from Zhao Qin." Lu Bei shrugged. He was fed up and didn't want to pretend anymore.
interactive
Zhu Xiushi raised his eyebrows, trying to remain serious, and asked tentatively: "How is the interaction going? Who are these female monks?"
"A man."
"… "
Zhu Xiushi said nothing, and subconsciously loosened the seal, his face full of shock and disbelief.
Lu Bei did not force himself to break free from the seal. After confirming that there was no one around, he raised his hands to hold her shoulders and squatted in the bushes.
"As for Zhao Qin's affairs, this clan leader has received money, so it is inconvenient to say more. You just need to know that the Jiang family royal family hired a sword master named Tianmingzi to defeat the strongest man in Zhao Qin, King Yan Jiang Suxin, who was at the peak of the Mahayana stage, and cleansed the universe and revitalized the royal central unity."
"There is such internal strife in Zhao Qin, how come I didn't hear about it?" Zhu Xiu Shi was horrified.
Zhao Qin is a great human power, and its influence is enough to cover the holy land of Da Xia. It is no exaggeration to say that the changes in the decision-making level of Zhao Qin have a certain impact on the surrounding environment of Wu Zhou.
Especially now, crises are lurking everywhere and there is a risk of national territory falling.
This matter was of great importance, so she continued the sealing technique and asked Lu Bei to tell her some more useful information, such as...
"Who is Tianmingzi? Does Sect Master Lu have any clues?"
"Ah, this..."
Lu Bei blinked. The IQ of the princess, who was the hidden treasure of the Zhu family, was really worrying. His hint was already very obvious.
There's no other way but to make it more obvious.
"Tian Mingzi's origins are quite mysterious. No one knew about it before. It was not until this sect master went to Zhao Qin that Tian Mingzi became famous. Until he defeated Jiang Suxin, his fame spread throughout Zhao Qin. Do you understand?"
"Master Lu, it's the same as if you said nothing. It just sounds useful, but in fact, none of your words hit the point." Zhu Xiushi complained. The Riddler was really annoying.
Lu Bei remained silent, fearing that he would become stupid if he was close to Zhu, so he took the initiative to remove the sealing technique, stood up, patted his butt and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have something to ask Sect Master Lu as well."
Lu Bei was unwilling to provide clues, and Zhu Xiushi did not force him. The Zhaoqin Incident had far-reaching consequences, and Wu Zhou would soon receive the intelligence, so he turned to talk about the current situation.
"Ten days ago, Qi Yan Ji Han passed away, and the Ji family held a grand funeral for him. What do you think of this?"
"If we go now, can we still catch up with the princess's table?"
"… "
"It doesn't matter if I can't catch up. This sect master has seen all kinds of princesses." Lu Bei curled his lips. He knew what Zhu Xiushi meant and asked whether Ji Han was dead or not.
To be honest, it doesn't matter.
Ji Han's death spread throughout the world. Even if he were alive, he would no longer be Ji Han.
"And Xiong Chu has been particularly active recently..."
Zhu Xiushi narrowed his eyes slightly. Strange things happened one after another in Xiongchu. The Gu family, which had just escaped the curse, not only failed to accumulate foundation, but was out of control like a wild horse. It dispatched troops to the twenty-three countries in the northern border, conquered a country a day, and rapidly expanded its territory.
Xiong Chu and Wu Zhou had a new border, which was not limited to Yuezhou.
This move not only made Wu Zhou feel like it was facing a formidable enemy, but also made Xuan Long, who was fully preparing to fight the demon clan, feel uneasy.
As the leader, Xuanlong now remained silent, his silence making Wu Zhou tremble.
It was common for the eldest brother and the second brother to quarrel, and for the third brother to die. The emperors of the Zhu family were unable to sleep or eat well, and they tossed and turned these days and couldn't fall asleep.
Lu Bei thought deeply after hearing this. As a regional power, Xuanlong's strength and foundation are greater than Xiong Chu. If it had not been dragged down by the monsters for many years, it would have soared to the sky and established a human empire like Zhao Qin.
The last time he went to Xuanlong, he met the white-haired Emperor Xuanlong. His cultivation and mind were both impressive, but there was not a single cultivator at the Mahayana level.
When it was said that Wu Zhou and Qi Yan had no Mahayana cultivators, Lu Bei nodded to show that he could accept it. In a situation where the worst were to be compared, the two brothers dared to compete for the first place, and neither of them would admit defeat.
But Lu Bei firmly refused to believe that there were no Mahayana cultivators in Xuanlong.
There are other secrets in the Ten Thousand Mountains. The struggle between Xuanlong and the demon clan is far more dangerous than it appears on the surface, and it is possible that the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is involved.
But then again, Xiong Chu also has his own Mahayana stage, and he is the invincible kind.
Gu Zongchen, a natural born Buddhist, can defeat Xuanlong alone.
Gu Zongchen is devoted to Buddhism and has long cut off worldly desires. Apart from his surname Gu, he has no connection with the Gu clan. It is hard for Lu Bei to imagine that the little bald man has ambitions to expand territory, and he will not and cannot participate in national disputes.
The question is, Gu Zongchen is a monk with green lamps and ancient Buddhas, and he is a turtle if he doesn't move. How can Xiong Chu have the confidence to jump in front of Xuanlong
It's impossible for them to just make a feint and pretend to go to war with Xuanlong, but in fact after conquering the twenty-three kingdoms in the north, the army will go directly north to invade Wu Zhou
It's impossible. If Lu goes crazy, Gu Zongchen will have to take a beating. Only if Xiong Chu goes crazy will he declare war on Wu Zhou.
"I can't figure it out..."
Lu Bei shook his head and patted his butt subconsciously. Seeing Zhu Xiushi's angry expression, he shrugged to express his surprise.
Unconscious behavior, habit.
It was indeed a mistake, and it was Zhu Xiushi's fault for standing too close to him.
"As for Xiong Chu, this sect master will invite King Yuan Ji to have tea someday and ask what the Gu family's intentions are."
Lu Bei gave the man a reassurance and promised, "Don't worry, Wu Zhou is my territory, I am the only one who can do whatever I want, the Gu family should never extend their claws here."
Zhu Xiushi: …
As expected of the loyal and patriotic Tianjian Sect leader, he speaks so nicely.
"When will Sect Leader Lu meet with King Yuanji?" Zhu Xiushi asked, wanting to go with Lu Bei.
"After a while, whether it is Wu Zhou, Xiong Chu, or Xuan Long, these national wars are ultimately minor matters. This clan leader still has big things to do."
"What is it?"
"My confidantes are going through tribulations, four at a time, on the same day." Lu Bei felt sympathetic.
"real?!"
Zhu Xiushi was overjoyed, and he was no longer sleepy. He smiled as if he saw Lu Bei being hit by four big punches in a row.
"Are you happy?" Lu Bei asked unhappily.
"No, I just... just thought of something happy." Zhu Xiushi said he didn't dare, covered his mouth, turned around, and shrugged his shoulders.
"snort!"
Lu Bei left with a flick of his sleeves. He flicked his fingers and ejected a Qiankun Ring, which hit Zhu Xiushi on the head. "Wu Zhou is too weak. Although they know that they are in a low position and fear the strong, they don't have anyone who can hold up the situation. Having a sword but not using it and having no sword to use are two different things. Practice hard and become stronger is the foundation."
Zhu Xiu Shi took the Qian Kun Ring, sighed sadly and felt bitter after hearing what he said.
Everyone understands the truth. Otherwise, why would she use a sealing spell on Lu Bei at every turn? Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, she still moved to Mingzhi Mountain.
This is such a shameless thing.
After mocking herself twice, she penetrated the Qiankun Ring with her spiritual thoughts and glanced at the opportunity she had gained by showing off her beauty.
Zhu Xiushi: (._.≡°Д°)
"This, this, this..."
Sect Leader, when you stay in Changming Mansion, are you still in need of someone to push your back
Even the Taifu was too arrogant to refuse, so Zhu Xiu Shi was even less likely to do so. If she had just said that she wanted to cultivate immortality and show off her beauty, she would have sold everything she could.
What's wrong with being lowly? No matter how lowly she is, can she be lower than Lu Bei
"Hey, where did he get these resources?"
Zhu Xiushi knew that Lu Bei had a deal with Xiong Chu and made a fortune by breaking the Gu family blood curse, but to be fair, she and Lu Bei were at most bad friends, and no matter how many good things there were, there would be little left when it was her turn.
He was so generous that he not only guaranteed that Wuyou, who was in the Tribulation Stage, would be promoted to the Mahayana Stage. This was a bit too much.
Xiong Chu can't afford so much money!
Thinking of Lu Bei's previous words, Zhu Xiushi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Tian Mingzi..."
—
Bang!
"Mother, please save me..."
"Hey, brother, you're here too!"
