Hearing Xiao Xi's words, Zhou Lang's heart tightened. In order to protect Zhao Xiaorou, he had offended the Shangguan family. Now he should try his best to improve his strength. Otherwise, he would have to take Zhao Xiaorou away or stay anonymous.
But if he really had to hide, he would feel that he was not even a man. Therefore, he did not plan to leave, but planned to use the troops to cover up the water and the earth.
When Zhou Lang thought of this, he quickly calmed down, stopped caring about enjoyment, and began to circulate his true energy according to the dual cultivation method.
Xiao Xi also immediately cooperated, and the true energy in the two people's bodies began to intersect with yin and yang, forming a large cycle that traveled through the meridians in the two people's bodies, causing their meridians to continue to grow.
…
Time passed very quickly. In the next three days, Zhou Lang basically stayed in the Qiankun Palace where the ancestral copper coins were passed down, except for eating, occasionally giving guidance on Zhao Xiaorou's practice, and calling Ivanova.
Originally Zhou Lang wanted to tell Zhao Xiaorou his secrets, bring Zhao Xiaorou into the ancestral copper coins, and let Xiao Xi open up all the meridians in Zhao Xiaorou's body to enhance Zhao Xiaorou's strength, but Xiao Xi said that the old master once left a message,
Among the ancestral copper coins, except for people with the blood of the Zhou family, there was no way to get in, so he had to give up.
The effect of dual cultivation is indeed very strange. In three days, Zhou Lang has successfully entered the late stage of Qi training, and is expected to advance to the foundation building stage.
However, he is still not sure at all about when he will be able to advance to the foundation building stage and then be able to freely control the magical weapons and magic weapons left by his ancestors to form formations.
Therefore, the true energy in his body or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth he absorbed is not enough to liquefy the gaseous true energy. It is difficult to say how long this process will take.
Of course, he is not indifferent to worldly affairs these days. When he is practicing, he still pays close attention to Zhao Xiaorou's safety.
In addition, he and Ivanova said on the phone that he had been practicing in seclusion recently and might not have much time to spend with her. Ivanova was considerate and did not blame Zhou Lang for anything. It seemed that as long as she did not come into contact with Zhao Xiaorou,
I still listen to Zhou Lang’s words.
…
At dusk on the fourth day, Zhou Lang received a call from Li Mengxue.
"Zhou Lang, please come to my house." Li Mengxue said on the phone, her voice seemed a little tired.
"Okay, Sister Xue, I'll be right over."
Zhou Lang said that although he was anxious to improve his strength and did not want to be distracted by other things, there was no way he would not go when Li Mengxue called him. After all, Li Mengxue was his nominal boss and he had to be there whenever he was called.
Half an hour later, Zhou Lang arrived at Li Mengxue's home, and the two met in the courtyard of the villa.
There had just been a shower in the afternoon, the weather was not sultry, and the air felt fresh. However, Li Mengxue looked a little haggard, completely losing her former energy. In her hand, she still held two stacks of money, which should be 20,000 yuan.
appearance.
"Sister Xue, have you stayed at home these past few days and not gone to the bar?" Zhou Lang asked. He felt that something must have happened to Li Mengxue, otherwise her energy would not be so bad.
"Except for yesterday and today, I went to the bar all the time." But unexpectedly, Li Mengxue said. When she spoke, she seemed a little cold, as if she and Zhou Lang had never been close and had become strangers.
.
"Then why didn't you call me?" Zhou Lang felt the change in Li Mengxue and asked curiously.
"Now that Li Qi has left Feiyun City, I am safe, so I don't want to trouble you anymore." Li Mengxue said, "I called you here because I want to settle your wages."
"Sister Xue, you don't want me to be your personal bodyguard?" Zhou Lang said in surprise, because Li Mengxue meant to let him go.
"Zhou Lang, I don't know who you are, but I think you must be showing off your talents by being my bodyguard. I still don't want to trouble you anymore. I really want to thank you for what happened some time ago." Li Mengxue hesitated for a moment and said
He handed the money in his hand to Zhou Lang and said: "This ten thousand is your salary, and the other ten thousand is to compensate you."
"Sister Xue, has something happened to you? Maybe I can help you." Zhou Lang felt that Li Mengxue was worried and couldn't help but ask.
"I have nothing to do." Li Mengxue said, "You have helped me a lot during this period, and you should get this money." After saying that, she forced 20,000 yuan into Zhou Lang's hand.
"Is it because she has a boyfriend that she wants to distance herself from me? A few days ago, we were still in this villa, hugging each other on the bed and lingering together, like lovers, but now, we are like strangers.
"
Zhou Lang thought to himself, he is a monk, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is almost omnipotent, but he still cannot know what the other person is thinking.
"Well, if you have anything to do in the future, please call me anytime. If nothing happens, I will leave." Zhou Lang knew that Li Mengxue was not short of money, so he accepted the 20,000 yuan.
"You go."
Li Mengxue said, her eyes a little complicated.
Zhou Lang didn't think any more, waved to Li Mengxue, turned and left.
To be honest, he still has some nostalgia for Li Mengxue, because Li Mengxue is a mature beauty. The past of him and Li Mengxue hugging each other on the bed that night, kissing and touching each other is still vivid in his mind, but judging from the current situation, the two of them
I'm afraid there won't be any contact in the future.
If it were any other man, he would definitely stalk Li Mengxue, but Zhou Lang was not such a person. He thought that Li Mengxue had a boyfriend, so he didn't want him to disturb his life, so he wisely chose to leave, and
As long as Li Mengxue doesn't call him in the future, he will not take the initiative to contact Li Mengxue.
"I was born to you for a living, but you are old to me now."
Watching Zhou Lang leave, Li Mengxue had tears welling up in her eyes. When Zhou Lang left the villa, she murmured.
It turns out that there was a reason why she settled Zhou Lang's salary and no longer allowed him to be his personal bodyguard.
That night Zhou Lang went to the bar to pick up Ivanova, and she saw it too. From the smile on Ivanova's face, she knew that Ivanova had become Zhou Lang's girlfriend.
And she is several years older than Zhou Lang. Although she also likes Zhou Lang, she feels that she should not compete with Ivanova for Zhou Lang. There is no possibility that Zhou Lang will choose her between Ivanova and her.
It's very small, after all, there is an age gap between the two of them.
In the past few days, she had been very conflicted in her heart. Within a few days, she had become haggard. She hated that she was not a few years younger. If she was about the same age as Zhou Lang, then she would definitely be the same as Ivan.
Nova competes for Zhou Lang. Although Ivanova is a sexy mixed-race foreign girl, she is still very confident in her appearance and temperament.
Therefore, she had the emotion of "I was born before you were born, but I am already old after you were born."
A few days later, she finally made the decision, feeling that the long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain, completely separated from Zhou Lang, and never saw each other again, so the scene just happened.
