How Xu You killed Lu Ping was quite coincidental. If told in detail, it would involve the panacea and the silkworm suit, which would be too mysterious.
However, this point could not be circumvented, and he could only explain it by saying it was a coincidence. Fortunately, no one looked into it further, and they did not expect that Lei Dong would seize it.
"Master Lei, does this have something to do with the death of Master Lei Chen?" Xu You frowned slightly and asked calmly.
"It doesn't matter, but if you are honest in your heart, why can't you say it?" Lei Dong said calmly, "What our Lei family needs are innocent children with foreign surnames. We don't need people with unknown origins and hidden secrets."
Xu You couldn't help but feel angry. Lei Dong's questions became more and more serious, as if he was a suspect rather than a benefactor. His voice became colder: "Master Lei, I also want to ask, are you a child?
Da, I won’t hide anything from the Lei family.”
"Of course." Lei Dong said proudly.
Xu You said calmly: "Then Mr. Lei, why don't you share your experience of breaking through the spiritual realm in public, so that we can understand and learn from it."
Everyone's expressions changed. Breaking through the realm is a very secret matter. Unless it is passed down from master or family blood, how can it be mentioned in public. This is equivalent to announcing one's own property to the outside world.
Lei Dong's expression also changed, and he said sternly: "You are so presumptuous!"
Xu You did not speak, but looked at Lei Zhenshan. From the moment Lei Dong spoke, the head of the Lei family remained silent, perhaps because it was inconvenient to interrupt, but he did not mean to acquiesce.
If Lei Zhenshan's attitude is the same as Lei Dong's, then no matter how good the Lei family is, there is no need to stay.
"Lei Dong, please stop talking." Lei Zhenshan said solemnly, "I know that Chen'er is dead and you are in a very bad mood, as is your father, but little fellow Taoist Xu is the benefactor of the Lei family, and will be the Lei family's benefactor in the future.
For those who have a foreign surname, you must not embarrass them."
"I understand, father." Lei Dong snorted and looked at Xu You coldly, "I hope you can take care of yourself in the Lei family and don't have any ulterior motives, otherwise I will make you look good."
Xu You looked at him coldly and said nothing. Although Lei Zhenshan was speaking to him, Xu You understood as soon as he heard that the head of the Lei family was also suspicious of him, but the city was very deep, so he did not say it out loud, but used Lei Dong to come.
Beat yourself up.
As for Lei Dong being in a bad mood, that's just a joke. When he saw Lei Chen's body, Lei Dong was the only one whose expression didn't change.
Lei Zhenshan said some more comforting words to him, made arrangements for entering the Lei family, and then let Xu You and everyone disperse, while he and Lei Dong returned to the main house.
"Father, I think this Xu You is very dishonest and presumptuous. Why do you have to keep him?" Lei Dong asked dissatisfied.
"I don't want to stay either." Lei Zhenshan sighed, "But Xu You traveled thousands of miles to deliver Chen'er's coffin back. It was obvious that Chen'er made a deal with him before he passed away. If we expel him, others will see us like this.
Wouldn't it be cold to treat a benefactor?"
"I think this guy is not telling the truth. He has hidden a lot of things, otherwise I wouldn't have questioned him like this just now." Lei Dong said coldly, "Maybe he is also suspected of Lei Chen's death."
"Xu You should not be suspicious, otherwise he would not dare to send Chen'er's body back." Lei Zhenshan shook his head and said, "Of course, he must have hidden something, but as long as he enters the Lei family, what secrets of his will not belong to us in the end? You also
Don't suppress us blindly, as if you make others think that our Lei family has no tolerance for others."
"Yes, father." Lei Dong said, "But if Xu You dares to talk back to me when he is new, I have to beat him to make him understand his status. Don't think that just because you brought Lei Chen's body back, you can consider yourself the benefactor of the Lei family.
."
"It's up to you." Lei Zhenshan didn't care, turned around and walked towards the inner hall, "But be careful and don't go too far."
A sneer appeared on Lei Dong's face, he walked out of the house and waved, and a servant immediately came up to him: "Young Master."
"Immediately go to the residential area for children with foreign surnames and tell them that the Lei family has a new child with foreign surnames, but he has neither potential nor contribution, so his benefits must be shared equally with everyone." Lei Dong ordered.
"Yes, eldest son." The servant responded and left quickly.
…
With Lei Zhenshan's personal explanation, in less than one meal, Xu You, under the leadership of a fat middle-aged housekeeper named Lei Quan, completed all the procedures for the children of the Lei family with a foreign surname.
The so-called procedures are to register the identity, receive the children's clothes and identity jade badges, and then become familiar with the rules of the Lei family and the children's responsibilities and obligations, of course, including welfare.
These things are all in the handbook of the Lei family, so Lei Quan didn't explain too much. After saying a few words, he took Xu Youzhou around the courtyards to get to know the people in the Lei family.
Finally, Lei Quan took Xu You to the area where the children with foreign surnames lived, introduced them to everyone, arranged a residence for Xu You, and then left.
The disciples with a foreign surname did not show any intention of welcoming Xu Youdao, and many of them even had obvious hostility on their faces. When Lei Quan was there, they were barely able to deal with it. After Lei Quan left, they dispersed directly, and no one stayed to talk to Xu Youdao.
Excellent speech.
Xu You was a little strange. Even if he was not popular, he shouldn't be disliked when meeting these people for the first time.
He returned to his residence, spread out his spiritual consciousness, and immediately sensed the voices of many people with foreign surnames.
"Damn it, any piece of trash can be regarded as a son of the Lei family with a foreign surname, and he has to share the benefits equally with us. Who does he count as the elder?"
"The Lei family is really becoming more and more casual. They don't look at potential or contribution. They just send the bodies of Lei's children thousands of miles away, and they can become children with other surnames and be on par with us. Hehe, who do you think we are? Picking them up on the street.
Raggedy?”
"We have made a lot of contributions to the Lei family over the years. Isn't it less important than sending Xu You a corpse and sharing our benefits equally with him? Why, don't give me a chance, otherwise I will definitely
This guy is good-looking."
"The servant who informed us said that Xu You has neither potential nor contribution, so how did he get in? Is he a related household?"
"I don't care if he is a related household or not, I get angry when I think of him sharing our welfare. Let's find an opportunity to mess with him so that he has no shame in staying here and get out of Lei's house as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll definitely mess with him if I find an opportunity."
…
Xu You listened to the discussion, thought about it briefly, and understood what was going on.
Unexpectedly, just talking back to Lei Dong would result in such suppression. Moreover, Lei Dong did not directly target him, and just saying that the benefits were shared equally made all the children with foreign surnames resent him. The Lei family's cultivation path was really off to a bad start.
However, Xu You just smiled faintly, and after running the Spiritual God Technique, he began to practice meditation.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and disputes are inevitable, but no matter where you are, as long as you have strength, you will have status and dignity.
In the past few days, Xu You has begun to practice the Taichu Sect's Yuqing Kung Fu. Although no one has given guidance, Yuqing Kung Fu is just a low-grade ordinary technique. Xu You understood it thoroughly after reading it a few times, and the practice progressed quite quickly.
Sure enough, after practicing the technique, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy increased significantly, more than three times faster than before. His circulation became faster and faster, and his spiritual power became stronger and stronger, which surprised Xu You.
With the assistance of his martial arts, his thunder and lightning techniques and wind control techniques became more and more proficient. In just a few days, he was able to perform them as quickly as the basic spiritual techniques of the Five Elements.
Taking out the jade slips of basic spiritual arts, Xu You planned to select a few more basic spiritual arts to continue practicing.
Dong Dong Dong... There was a knock on the door from outside, and then a timid girl's voice sounded: "Is Mr. Xu You here?"
Xu You was startled and his spiritual consciousness spread out, only to see a pretty maid standing in front of the door.
He walked to the door, opened it and asked, "Who are you?"
The maid Yingying bowed: "Excuse me, Mr. Xu, my young lady has invited you."
"Your lady?" Xu You was stunned. He had just arrived at Lei's house, but he didn't know any girls. Although Lei Quan took him around Lei's house, he didn't introduce any of the women.
"My young lady's name is Qinglan, and she is the daughter of the great elder Lei Lie. Mr. Xu must have heard about it," the maid explained.
"It turns out to be Miss Qinglan, please lead the way." Xu You looked relieved and became relieved.
Naturally, he had heard Lei Quan talk about the great elder's daughter, who was also one of the core children of the Lei family. At the same time, he also understood why Lei Qinglan was looking for him, because Lei Qinglan was Lei Chen's fiancée.
Thinking of what Lei Chen said before he died, Xu You felt slightly heavy.
The two walked in tandem, and soon the maid took him to an exquisite and beautiful house.
"Miss Qinglan, Mr. Xu is here." Entering the house, the maid stopped and whispered through the green curtain.
"Please come in, Mr. Xu." A girl's voice with a somewhat hoarse voice came from inside.
The maid opened the curtain and motioned for Xu You to enter, but she slowly backed away.
Xu You walked in slowly and saw a bright and picturesque girl sitting on the chair on the dressing table. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face was haggard, her white face was stained with tears, and she looked very sad.
Seeing Xu You coming in, the girl quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Xu is here, Qinglan is too lazy to sit down, please."
Xu You gave a slight salute: "Miss Qinglan, you are very polite. Please express my condolences and stop by."
As soon as he said this, Lei Qinglan's face suddenly became even sadder, and she choked with sobs: "Thank you, Mr. Xu. I came to you, but I just wanted to know... did Lei Chen say anything to me before he left..."
Xu You was silent for a while and said softly: "Before Brother Lei Chen passed away, he said that he had failed you in his fate and asked you to find a good man to marry. He hoped that you could forget him, live well, and be happy forever.
"
The last two sentences were added by himself, but they must have been what Lei Chen meant, so they are not considered fabricated.
Lei Qinglan couldn't bear it anymore, tears burst out, and she lay on the back of the chair and cried bitterly.
Xu You gave a gentle bow and left the room without saying a word. It was not good for him to stay in the boudoir of the Lei family women, not to mention that the words had been conveyed, so there was no need to stay any longer.
"Wait, Mr. Xu." Lei Qinglan suddenly wiped his tears, stood up and said slowly, "You send him back. I don't want to say more to thank you. If you encounter any trouble in the Lei family, I will help you."
You solve it."
"Thank you, Miss Qinglan." Xu nodded and said, "But Mr. Lei Chen has already recommended me to join the Lei family. He doesn't owe me anything."
"He doesn't owe you, I owe you." Lei Qinglan said resolutely.
Xu You didn't say anything, gave a slight salute, and left the room.
