Li Chengfeng invited Wei Zhuo and Chen Shuixin to a pavilion in the city lord's palace, facing the pond, with the breeze blowing through the lotus leaves, which was very refreshing and comfortable.
Chen Shuixin looked around and praised, "Chengdu Li is an elegant man."
Li Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "My fellow Taoist is so complimentary! My fellow Taoist arranged this. I just think it looks more comfortable."
Chen Shuixin couldn't help feeling a little disgusted when she saw Li Chengfeng's insincere words. She didn't want to go on and went straight to the topic, "Since Lord Li has a Taoist companion, why do you want to take my little disciple as a concubine?!"
"
Li Chengfeng heard Chen Shuixin's question at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. He didn't ask at that time because in public, the confrontation could easily turn into a joke and spread widely in Kuncheng. It might as well be
Invite people in first, and then have a nice talk.
Li Chengfeng asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why do fellow Taoists say this? I haven't taken any concubines recently!"
As soon as Li Chengfeng finished speaking, a woman in red strode over in a hurry. She asked angrily, "Li Chengfeng, what do you mean by this?! If you haven't taken a concubine recently, then you want to take a concubine in the future."
?”
The eyes of Wei Zhuo and Chen Shuixin both turned to the woman in red. Li Chengfeng tensed up his back and quickly denied affectionately, "Xiangxiang! I, Li Chengfeng, will only have you as my Taoist companion from beginning to end.
!I will never change it in this life.”
These affectionate words directly gave Chen Shuixin goosebumps, but Xiuxiu, who was standing on Wei Zhuo's shoulder as a sculpture, took a second look at the woman in red.
But Xiangxiang was very happy. She patted Li Chengfeng's back vigorously, turned to Chen Shui and said to herself, "You must have found the wrong person! Our old Li doesn't have any concubines."
Chen Shuixin could tell at a glance that this Xiangxiang's cultivation was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and she was relatively straightforward and generous, so she would not team up with Li Chengfeng to deceive her.
She frowned and said, "My little disciple is a married woman from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance! His name is Cheng Yue, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he has cultivated in the Qi Refining Period, and has the aptitudes of dual spirit roots, fire and earth! He is a delicate beauty.
.The people from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance said personally that she was sent to the City Lord’s Mansion as a concubine!”
Li Chengfeng looked confused, as if he really knew nothing about Cheng Yue, but Xiangxiang frowned. She pondered for a moment and said, "Could this person you are talking about be the one Cheng Yun sent to me?"
Be a sister’s little girl, right?”
Li Chengfeng turned his attention to Xiangxiang and asked her what was going on?!
Chen Shuixin also looked at Xiangxiang in surprise. Didn't Uncle Cheng mean to give Cheng Yue to the city lord as a concubine and become sisters with Xiangxiang? Does this girl Xiangxiang have any unique explanation?
Xiangxiang said, "I placed that little girl in Feiheyuan! I have a lot of sisters, cousins, and cousins, so why bother recognizing outsiders as sisters?!"
When Chen Shuixin heard Xiangxiang's remarks, she spat out a mouthful of water. Wei Zhuo was more restrained and patted Chen Shuixin's back.
Xiangxiang glanced at Chen Shuixin inexplicably, and then said, "It's just that the little girl begged me to keep her! It was said that Cheng Yun wanted to kill her, but I think she abides by the rules and has no objections, so I just do whatever I want.
So I arranged a small yard to spend time in! If it’s her you’re looking for, I’ll have someone send her over right away.”
Chen Shui calmed down before saying, "Then I'll trouble Mrs. Xiangxiang."
Xiangxiang waved her hand, but Li Chengfeng asked, "Then when did Cheng Yun come to see you?! Why didn't you tell me? Cheng Yun is too eager for quick success and quick gain. He is not a good person. Don't be fooled by him.
Cheated."
Xiangxiang turned back and glared at Li Chengfeng, "About half a month ago, Cheng Yun sent many treasures to the house, so I reluctantly accepted them."
Who knew that there was a little girl wrapped in that pile of treasures, and she was so compassionate that she left him behind.
Li Chengfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Xiangxiang liked to do some puzzling things, but he liked Xiangxiang like this.
While waiting for others, Wei Zhuo suddenly said, "City Lord Li is very friendly to the Southwest ethnic group."
Li Chengfeng frowned and asked, "Fellow Taoist, what does this mean? I was born and raised in the southwest, and everything I do is to make the southwest a better place."
Wei Zhuo nodded, "We once walked a journey with a caravan from all over the world, but we saw them secretly transporting mugwort to Kuncheng. I guess it's not City Lord Li's intention, right?"
Li Chengfeng suddenly became serious. Even though he acted a little erratically, he clearly understood what mugwort was and how much threat it would pose to certain ethnic groups in the southwest.
He was quite angry and said, "How dare these scoundrels act like this! I have already rejected their approach, but I didn't expect that they would not take me as the city lord seriously and do such dirty things behind my back."
Chen Shuixin stared at Li Chengfeng suspiciously. Li Chengfeng's performance was indeed surprising.
But when I thought about it, it was no wonder that even a child at the bottom like Shitou knew that Kuncheng City could not take charge of the southwest ethnic group. It seemed that Li Chengfeng deliberately let things go, hoping to use the spring breeze and drizzle to influence people's hearts.
Wei Zhuo tested Li Chengfeng's attitude and said nothing more. At least such a person, as the lord of Kuncheng, would help him protect Li Village.
Soon, people from the City Lord's Mansion came over with Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue's eyes turned red as soon as she saw Chen Shuixin and Wei Zhuo. She adapted well and shouted, "Master, are you here to pick me up?"
Chen Shuixin looked at Cheng Yue, who was still normal, and nodded inwardly. It seemed that Xiangxiang didn't lie to them.
Mrs. Xiangxiang said, "Cheng Yue, your master is coming to pick you up, just follow them!"
Cheng Yue was very grateful to Xiang Xiang. She saluted Xiang Xiang and said, "Thank you madam for taking me in. Cheng Yue has nothing to repay."
Xiangxiang said, "You should leave quickly. I can't afford to accept a sister like you. I almost caused my old Li to be beaten."
Cheng Yue suddenly succeeded and came to Chen Shuixin's side.
Chen Shuixin was rushing back to Huayang Sect to rest for a few more years, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for taking care of my little disciple, Yue'er, let's go."
Li Chengfeng looked at the backs of the two of them, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally sent the two giant Buddhas away.
Chen Shuixin asked, "Yue'er! This time we have to teach Cheng Yun a lesson! It's not enough for him to trick you once, he will trick you a second time."
In fact, Chen Shuixin said this with the intention of testing Cheng Yue to see if Cheng Yue is the Holy Mother or a brave person who dares to love and hate.
Cheng Yue lowered his head and thought again and again, and finally clenched his fists and made a decision, "Master, let's destroy my uncle, no, Cheng Yun's cultivation! Let him give up his desire to do evil."
Chen Shuixin looked at Cheng Yue carefully. She didn't expect that Cheng Yue could make such a decision, but she had grown somewhat. She said, "As you wish."
