"When gods fight, mortals suffer. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, I hope those big shots will stop tossing it." Liu Xiaolu curled his lips and said.

Granny Qu nodded and said, "Although Liuyuan City is independent of the three sects, it does not restrict the movement of monks from the three sects. There are even many properties purchased by the three sects in the city."

"Why is this? Isn't the city lord of Liuyuan City afraid that the three sects will secretly send their disciples to set up spies in the city and control Liuyuan City?" Luo Lin asked puzzled.

"No, this is the brilliance of the city lord of Liuyuan City." Granny Qu shook her head and said, "It is precisely because he does not restrict the three sects from entering the city. With the three major sects restraining each other in the city, the direct line of Liuyuan City can develop better."

Liu Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I understand, he is letting people from the three major sects fight each other in the city, so that he has no time to take care of other forces in Liuyuan City."

Granny Qu turned to look at Liu Xiaolu, nodded and said with a smile, "That's exactly it."

"Since Liuyuan City is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, which faction does the Bailian Sect from Liuyuan City belong to?" Liu Xiaolu asked doubtfully.

"Bizhuang of Bailian Sect was born in Zongyuan City, so he should be considered a member of the Hedao Sect. However, it is unknown whether he had contact with other forces after joining Liuyuan City." Granny Qu pondered.

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. The Bailian Sect suddenly returned to Zongyuan City, maybe it was not just for revenge on Wanxiang Pavilion.

…

Hujiadongyuan.

"auspicious!!!"

A young girl in white clothes screamed and slapped something on the ground randomly with a long-handled broom.

Immediately afterwards, a green snake nearly three feet long, with a green body wrapped around an object in its slender tail, jumped out of the window and disappeared into the courtyard.

"Meow."

Then, a two-color civet cat also jumped up to the window sill, but before it had time to jump down, a pair of small white jade-like hands were suddenly yanked from behind, and the cat was lifted up by its neck on the spot.

Hu Ruyi raised her eyebrows and said bitterly, "Didn't I tell you not to bring that disgusting green snake home again?"

"Meow."

The raccoon cat held in the girl's hand seemed to know that he was in the wrong. His two furry pointed ears drooped down and he whimpered lowly.

Hu Ruyi obviously loved the civet cat very much. Although he was very angry, he didn't really punish it. He just scolded it a few times and then took the cat into his arms again.

"My father and grandfather haven't given me spiritual stones or elixirs for several months. If this continues..."

The girl in white caressed the soft back hair of the raccoon cat in her arms, her two beautiful curved eyebrows were tightly intertwined, her beautiful face was full of sadness, and she murmured in her mouth.

…

Zongyuan City.

On the third floor of Jingtian Tower, Hu Weiyi, who was wearing a moon-white gown, frowned at the old man in yellow clothes opposite him and said, "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Lu came to me today?"

Although Hu Weiyi had contact with many people from the other three of the four major families, the City Lord's Mansion had never had any contact with him. It is thought that he came here mostly for the purpose of the marriage between the two families.

The monk surnamed Lu smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the table of dishes in front of the two of them, and said, "For the sake of my sworn brother, don't be impatient. Let's finish the meal first before talking."

"No reward for no merit. If Old City Lord Jin has anything to convey to you, just tell him." Hu Weiyi's face darkened and he said unceremoniously.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that after the old city lord saw the portrait sent by the Hu family, he was quite satisfied with the girl in the painting. He also heard that she was the granddaughter of my adopted brother, so he sent me to talk to him." Lu

The monk surnamed said with a smile.

Hu Weiyi was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Is Old City Master Jin really satisfied? Ruyi is just an ordinary person with three spiritual roots."

The monk surnamed Lu nodded slightly and said, "The old city lord said that although this woman's qualifications are not outstanding, her face is quite good. She is a blessed person, and her birth date is also very suitable for my young city lord."

"That's very good." Hu Weiyi nodded in relief and said.

"But..." the monk surnamed Lu suddenly spoke again.

Seeing Hu Weiyi's obviously dissatisfied eyes, the monk surnamed Lu smiled nonchalantly and continued, "The old city lord heard that my sworn brother had made an agreement with Senior Yuqing of Hedao Sect before?"

Hu Weiyi's expression changed, and he said in a low voice with a cold face, "It is indeed true, but at the beginning, Senior Yuqing and I only made a verbal agreement and did not actually send Ruyi to the Hedao Sect."

"That's it."

The monk surnamed Lu's eyes flashed, and he continued calmly, "Senior Yuqing is famous in the Hedao Sect for his narrow-mindedness, and he will retaliate for his anger.

My young city master has just been promoted to a direct disciple. His foundation in the sect is still shallow and his power is weak, but it is hard to offend the seniors in the foundation building stage for this matter."

"Is the Jin family going to regret their marriage?" Hu Weiyi said coldly with an ugly face.

"What are you talking about for the sworn brother? Needless to say, our sincerity in the marriage between our city lord's palace and the Hu family in Yuchuan. I just hope that it can be replaced by a girl from the Hu family." The monk surnamed Lu said hurriedly.

Hu Weiyi immediately interrupted with a cold tone, "Old City Lord Jin has designated a Water Spiritual Root cultivator. Among the younger members of my Hu family, Ruyi is the only water-attribute female cultivator with three spiritual roots. As for the other female cultivators in the clan, their qualifications are not as good as hers."

.

Could it be that Old City Master Jin actually plans to let you, Young City Master, marry a girl from the Hu family who has four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots?"

The monk surnamed Lu shook his head and smiled, and said slowly and calmly, "The old city lord heard that among the children of your Hu family who returned this year, there is a girl with dual spiritual roots?"

"Yes, but there is no water attribute in her spiritual roots, which is inconsistent with the requirements of the old city lord." Hu Weiyi frowned.

"But there was a junior from the Wu family who had fought against your Hu family's girl with dual spiritual roots in Zongyuan City before. According to what he said, this little girl is very likely to be pregnant with the wood-water spiritual roots.

But I don’t know if my sworn brother has ever personally investigated the attributes of his spiritual roots?” The monk surnamed Lu said with an unchanging expression.

Hu Weiyi frowned and thought for a while when he heard this, but did not respond.

It is true that he has not personally checked the spiritual root attributes of Hu Rulu, but if Hu Rulu really has water and wood spiritual roots, then why did Hu Yizhi say that she has wood and earth spiritual roots that day?

This seems a little unreasonable.

Seeing this, the monk surnamed Lu said again, "The old city lord heard that the thing he agreed with Senior Yuqing as his sworn brother was a foundation-building pill.

In order to make up for this regret, if the girl from the Hu family with water and wood spiritual roots can successfully marry into the City Lord's Mansion, then the City Lord's Mansion is willing to offer a Foundation Establishment Pill in the palace's treasury as compensation to your granddaughter. I wonder if she is a sworn brother.
