24. Troubled Questions
24. The second update of troublesome questions
While Lu Li and Luo Wei met, Lu Xin and Ouyang Jie finally arrived at Qiao Mansion.
This mansion has been lively for the whole afternoon.
Even though it was late at night, the lively level of Qiao's mansion had not diminished at all. However, for anyone passing by Qiao's mansion, it would only feel strange, because the entire Qiao's mansion held a banquet directly in the front courtyard at the entrance, and when looking at the delicacies on the table, no one had to turn on the chopsticks. In order to ensure the freshness and popularity of the food, those servants had to change a new one every once in a while.
The dishes are still the same.
The people sent by the Song and Li families were not planning to leave late at night, so Qiao Yunfei had to ask someone to arrange a room for the people of these two families to live in. As for the gifts sent by the Ouyang family, they were finally accepted by Lu Xin, which made the butler of the Ouyang family breathe a sigh of relief - he had dealt with too many bloody things today, and he didn't want to become a member of the death list himself.
When Zhao Xin and Ouyang Jie came to the Qiao family's residence, they met Qiao Yunfei, Lu Xin and other members of the Qiao family. Of course, the future heir of the Li family, the young granddaughter of the current head of the Song family, Song Xi's second daughter, and the little beauty who had a engagement with the Qiao family.
Many people present are familiar with Ouyang Jie, after all, he is Lu Xin's son.
However, when they saw Zhao Xin appearing, everyone was obviously stunned. They did not expect that the youngest granddaughter of Zhao Zhong, the governor of the country, would also come with him. But soon, these people came to their senses and went up to greet each other for a few words, and Zhao Xin also took everyone's faces into their eyes.
As smart as she realized a lot of things when she saw Lu Xin appearing in Qiao Mansion.
Seeing his son coming back, Lu Xin hurriedly greeted him: "Why are you back? Where are your uncle?"
Ouyang Jie's face was also a little strange: "My uncle said he would deal with it if he had something to do, and just let Zhao Xin and I come to Qiao Mansion. He said he would come back later."
At this time, Lu Xin turned her head and looked at Zhao Xin.
Through the conversation just now, Zhao Xin knew that the woman in front of her was Lu Li's sister and Ouyang Jie's mother. She immediately smiled and said, "Hello, aunt, I am Zhao Xin."
Zhao Xin did not mention her identity as a princess, nor did she mention her father, Zhenguo Hou, who looked like a junior.
For the major families, they naturally saw through the mystery here at a glance. After all, they are all people who are fighting in the dynasty. If they don’t have a few pounds and some insights, how could they be able to support the title of the seven major families? But these people don’t know that Zhao Xin is already favoring Ouyang Jie himself. They are more habitually thinking that Zhao Xin will do this, which must be inseparable from Lu Li. However, when they think of their current situation, many people remain silent about this situation.
This is the philosophy of aristocratic families.
During the subsequent greetings, Zhao Xin also remembered her junior identity and did not make any extraordinary moves. This made the major families secretly amazed that they were the granddaughter of Mr. Zhao, and also won a high enough impression score in Lu Xin's eyes.
However, this greeting did not last long, and Lu Li came back.
Looking at Lu Li with a smile on his face, no one knew that just a while ago, he had just fought with people in the suburbs of Baiyu City and released the flames of red lotus all over the mountains. At this moment, some of the tall buildings in Baiyu City could also see the burning fire in the suburbs from a distance. A small group of cavalry had even left the city gate and went to check the truth, but all this had nothing to do with Lu Li.
This guy has always been a master who kills and buries. Every time he solves the problem, others will help him wipe his butt.
Like the slaughter of the Zhang family before, Taohua wiped his butt. If he hadn't immediately compiled the letter to Shana and asked her to help block the news, I'm afraid that Lu Li would have known that Ye Xuan had taken over his body and reborn before Lu Li had entered the Taiyi Sect.
When Lu Li came back, the long-awaited lunch finally began - even though it was night, this meal was still considered a luncheon, which means that there will inevitably be a dinner party later. At the dinner table, in addition to polite greetings or polite greetings, occasionally mixed with some of the situations in recent years, but basically the situation is said by others and Lu Li is listening, so everyone can see that Lu Li is worried.
In fact, for Lu Li, even if Xuanwu Palace really sent an elder over there, he was not afraid. Because as one of the six famous sects, Xuanwu Palace really wanted to establish his authority and cleanse his shame, he could only settle the score with him Lu Li, and it was impossible for him to really trouble Ouyang Jie and Lu Xin. In other words, in the world of Taoism, many sects could not do such a moral violation.
But Luo Wei, who fell into the ghost realm, was different.
Only his threat is what Lu Li can really care about.
Although he admitted that he had not truly cultivated hundreds of ghosts, Lu Li didn't know how many ghost bodies he had cultivated. According to his understanding of the Ghost Domain Sect, every hundred pairs of boys and girls could cultivate a ghost body. Through what he had talked to him before, Lu Li already knew that the outbreak of the war between the White Jade Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty was that he was Luo Wei's deception. His only purpose was naturally to use this war to gain a large amount of corpse resentment to practice the "Hundred Ghosts Art".
From the content, Lu Li could roughly guess that Luo Wei must have obtained a lot of boys and girls from these two dynasties, but the specific number is really unaware of. Perhaps he could ask the results from the emperor or ministers of the White Jade Dynasty, but how many boys and girls the already destroyed Shengqing Dynasty gave Luo Wei was probably a dead debt.
And with this concern, how could Lu Li have a happy meal?
If the pervert of Loway was solved for one day, Lu Li would be unable to leave the White Jade Dynasty for one day.
This time he left Taiyi Gate and started traveling on the Tianyuan Continent, not just wandering around.
There may be nothing to do in the short term, but once Su Jue comes out of seclusion, his trip to the Medicine King Valley will be put on the agenda. In addition to asking for medicine for Su Yue, he also needs to prepare to save Xia Longyin's things - Lu Li has never forgotten that he can have today all thanks to Xia Longyin's teachings. Of course, Lu Li must save his first master no matter what.
Isn’t this just to make yourself more confident when collecting these materials?
As for taking Lu Xin and Ouyang Jie back to Taiyi Sect, Lu Li gave up this idea after thinking for a while.
In the White Jade Dynasty, Lu Xin has at least relatives and friends, and her life is stable and happy. But if she goes to Taiyi Gate, she can only live alone. Perhaps Su Yue, Xiao Yiyi and others will visit her and chat with her, but they are both cultivators and cannot always accompany Lu Xin.
After all, practitioners and mortals are different groups of people living in two worlds. They may occasionally intersect, but this intersection is only a very short moment, and then they will continue to move forward without interfering with each other like two parallel lines.
After the meal, Zhao Xin said goodbye quickly. She had to tell her grandfather a lot of content.
Zhao Zhong, the governor of the country, no longer needs to guard the border.
Li Yingming, the future heir of the Li family, also said goodbye.
This young man was the Li family boy who sent Lu Li back to Hanshui City on Qianyue Island. His talent was not very outstanding. Although the White Jade Dynasty annexed the Shengqing Dynasty and the dynasty's luck also annexed the dynasty's luck, this kind of fortune will not affect a person like him who has achieved some success in his cultivation. When the White Jade Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty broke out, he did not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Now it is probably very difficult to break through the immortality.
However, he showed extremely outstanding and keen talent in business. Under his operation, the entire Li family's maritime merchant fleet has become a well-known maritime merchant. It can be said that the Li family can now become the richest man in the White Jade Dynasty, which is entirely due to this business genius.
Those who stayed after this "lunch banquet" were the only granddaughter of the Song family head, Song Xi's second daughter, Song Yumin.
She and one of Qiao Yunfei's sons have already been engaged, so they are almost ready to choose a good day to hold a wedding banquet.
This little beauty has a very outstanding talent for cultivation, but unfortunately, her talent for cultivation is not the martial arts, but the Taoist vein. However, in the White Jade Dynasty, there are only practitioners of the Taoist vein, so naturally they cannot teach Song Yumin anything. She, who had already reached the ninth level of innate nature at the age of 18, did not go to Xuanwu Palace Academy to attend classes, but began to take over the family affairs. Although the handling was not very good, it was already very rare compared to many of her peers.
At this moment, after hearing that Lu Li was entering the Taoist sect of Taiyi Sect, Song Yumin became interested in becoming a disciple.
So at this moment, she and Ouyang Jie followed Lu Li to the villa prepared for him by Qiao Yunfei.
As soon as he entered the yard, Song Yumin knelt down and immediately kowtowed to Lu Li to beg for his disciple.
But how could he, who had known Song Yumin's mind for a long time, let her kowtow this head? A gentle force always held Song Yumin, making it impossible for her to kowtow this head.
"I can't accept you as your disciple." Lu Li said directly, "But if you are willing to wait a few more years, I can introduce you to someone who is the most suitable person to teach you spells...but I can't guarantee whether he will accept you as your disciple."
"I have wasted so many years. Now that I have hope, it doesn't matter if I wait for a few more years." Song Yumin said sincerely, "Even if that senior doesn't want to accept me as his disciple, then all this is destined and I can only appoint it."
"Since that's the case, you can go back first. I will tell you after he comes out of seclusion."
After finally sending Song Yumin away, Lu Li finally had time to check his nephew. Although the final result did not satisfy him very much, it was at least not too bad: "You don't have to go to Xuanwu Palace Academy in the future. As for the things the academy teaches you, you should forget them all. We will learn sword skills from tomorrow. Our Lu family's Listening Sword Technique cannot be lost... Although I really want you to change your surname, but your mother will not let it go."
Ouyang Jie looked surprised: "Uncle, do you still know swordsmanship? Aren't you a practitioner of Taoism?"
"Your uncle, I am a genius, what do I know about it?"
