"Protect the princess!"

"If you dare to take another half step forward, the sword in my hand will pierce her forehead." Chu Li quietly dissipated her disguise, and the aura around her body instantly returned to the ninth level of Qi Refining. When those people stopped

Just as she was about to move, Chu Li took out her identity token from the Qiankun bag and hung it high in the air with her other hand.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Chu Li input her spiritual power into the token.

Instantly, the crane carved on the identity token seemed to come alive, turning into a phantom and hovering above Chu Li's head, making a loud noise.

With floating cloud patterns entangled in it, Chu Li slowly put down the long sword in his hand and said firmly: "I am Chu Li, an inner disciple of the Tianze Sect. I wonder if this status can be commensurate with all of you as fellow Taoists."

In fact, sometimes it's not that you want to cause trouble, but that things just come to you out of nowhere.

In the face of these forces, sect background is undoubtedly the best protective umbrella.

The girl took a few steps back in shock, and said with an inward look: "You said you are, are you the one?"

"Princess, this token indeed belongs to the Tianze Sect and cannot be faked." The woman in palace clothes hurriedly protected the girl behind her, turned back and gave an apologetic smile to Chu Li, "Fellow Daoist Chu, calm down, Dinglu

She has lived in a deep palace for a long time and has not seen the world. If she has offended her, please ask fellow Taoist friends to forgive her for the sake of the royal family. It will be regarded as a good relationship."

When you see people, you talk about people, when you see ghosts, you talk about ghosts.

It was naturally impossible for Chu Li to take Princess Dinglu's life just like that, so he pretended to be generous.

"No problem."

A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake, not to mention that the royal family is not a snake, but a dragon about to transform into a dragon.

Although the girl was arrogant, she also knew that Chu Li could not be easily provoked. When she saw the people on her side facing Chu Li, she could only stamp her feet angrily and walk towards the spiral staircase alone.

The woman in palace clothes smiled gently, dismissed the guards and invited: "I am Ding'an, and I am fortunate enough to be the head of a county. I wonder if I can have this honor and invite you to have a drink with me?"

After this incident, it would be unsightly if Chu Li chose to stay on the first floor again.

Therefore, Chu Li accepted the invitation from the head of Ding'an County without much thought.

"That's what I wish for."

Chu Li put away the Evil-Slaying Sword and the identity token, and followed the Lord Ding'an County to the spiral staircase under the spotlight, as if what happened before had never happened.

Inside the house, there was mist.

The main screen of Ding'an County retreated from the others, washed its hands and burned incense, and then took out a set of exquisite wine sets and displayed them on the small table.

"Fellow Daoist Chu has a solid foundation and superb swordsmanship. He must be a disciple of an elder from Wanjian Peak." The Lord of Ding'an County folded his sleeves and transformed into a jade wine pot from nowhere. The body of the pot was tilted, and the clear wine

The liquid fell into the cup. Chu Li took the jade cup handed to her by the Lord of Ding'an County and shook her head slightly.

"No, I am the disciple of Master Mingyuan."

Now that the identity token is displayed, there is no need to conceal one's identity.

"He was originally a disciple of Master Mingyuan." The Lord of Ding'an County paused slightly while pouring the wine, "Your master is a genius of the previous generation. Daoyou Chu has learned from Master Mingyuan, so it is no wonder that he has achieved such an achievement.

.”

It can only be said that the Lord of Ding'an County is really eloquent. After hearing this, Chu Li only had the only way to get through by drinking.

It is true that Master Mingyuan is the leader of the Immortal Sect and is famous in the seven states.

But her Chu Li's cultivation is no more than qi refining, and she has a ghostly achievement.

"Thinking back then, Master Mingyuan used his cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core to defeat countless late-stage monks, and finally won the position of leader of the Immortal Sect Conference. How radiant he was. Even thinking about it now, it can make people's hearts tremble.

To the point of moving." Ding'an County took the initiative to lift the wine cup gracefully, covering his face with his sleeves and sipping the rim of the cup, "It's a pity that I was not alive at that time, so I only regret that I never got to see him."

Chu Li: "The Lord of Tu'an County seems to be very interested in my master?"

The Lord of Tu'an County smiled and joked: "It's natural. If it hadn't been for Master Mingyuan back then, the top spot would have gone to my father."

Chu Li frowned, seemingly changing the subject unintentionally: "I still have a question. I wonder if the Lord of Ding'an County can explain it to me?"

The Lord of Ding'an County was slightly stunned: "Oh? I wonder what it is?"

"Why does Princess Dinglu throw gold jewelry at people?" Chu Li put down the cup, "Let's say this is a blessing... I really don't understand."

"This matter can be regarded as an ancient custom of the royal family. Daoist friends Chu don't know it, but it is normal." The Lord of Ding'an County understood, "A long time ago, our ancestors would climb high buildings during festivals to exchange gold and silver.

The jade was thrown downstairs in order to listen to the sound of it breaking, which means "safety in pieces". In fact, the broken jade will eventually be left to the common people to take it away, but some people wait.

If not, they would get under the tower while our ancestors were still throwing, often causing accidental injuries."

"So later on, this custom evolved into what it is today, and became a form of amusement among the royal family. Throwing money to seek blessings was just to hear a sound, but the blessing gradually became a vague thought."

Chu Li was slightly unhappy: "So, the reason for listening is to hear the wailing sounds of others? Or is it the sound of cracking bones?"

The Imperial Family of the Imperial State was originally a mortal dynasty in a remote place within the Imperial State. It took tens of thousands of years of development to reach the scale it is today.

If the monks still retain some of the characteristics of the mortals in the human world, then the imperial family has undoubtedly copied and applied everything from the human race.

County lord, princess...

Haha, what an irony.

I don't know how many mortals with insufficient qualifications begged and shouted to get rid of their mortal bodies and become unrestrained immortals. As a result, the imperial family tied themselves up, regarded the lives of casual cultivators as nothing, and became the local overlords of the world.

If you are so greedy for power and status, you might as well stop your pursuit of immortality and return to the human world to become a high-ranking emperor.

"Actually, we haven't done this for many years. I just accidentally mentioned it today, and it accidentally made Dinglu think this way." Sensing the ridicule in Chu Li's words, Ding'an County Lord had no choice but to explain: "Dinglu

She has been pampered since she was a child, and may be a little arrogant, but she is not a treacherous or evil person. I hope that my Taoist friend Haihan will do it. What's more..."

"I have no quarrel with Princess Dinglu, and you don't need to mention her again in front of me." Chu Li looked at County Master Ding'an with a half-smile, "Thank you very much for the reception today, but I am not going there this time.

Those who travel to the imperial capital will go their separate ways after getting off the spirit boat, so the county master does not need to talk to me so much. Small friendships should avoid deep words, and the county master of Ding'an must understand this truth."

The Princess of Dinglu County is arrogant, so is the Princess of Ding'an County a good person?

Chu Li doesn't think so.

She had no desire to find out about the scandalous things among the royal family. What Princess Ding'an said was simply to paint a one-sided and arrogant image of Princess Dinglu in her mind.
