"Ma Chengwen, there's nothing fishy here, right?" Li Xuan asked the secretary. The two of them are now considered to be in the same boat. It is good for both parties to communicate with each other.
Ma Chengwen sighed: "I really don't know how you are so lucky. To be honest, the city lord and I thought you had a backer in the court. But after you asked me, I realized that you were serious.
lucky."
"Do you think it's a good thing?" Li Xuan just pondered for a moment and figured out the danger involved, "I got the title, but I turned all my anger on myself."
Ma Chengwen shrugged his shoulders: "This is not what the Lord of the City meant anyway. He seems to be a little jealous of you, and I guess you are not afraid of revenge."
Li Xuan smiled slightly: "That's true. If someone wants to avenge Meng Feifan and his son, I don't mind giving him a good reception and testing the newly developed elixir."
Seeing the horror hidden in Li Xuan's smile, Ma Chengwen couldn't help but shudder. He thought to himself: Is it right or wrong to form an alliance with this devil-like guy?
"By the way, the person who came to canonize you this time is the Confucian scholar Gan Wangdao from the Imperial College. He is a well-known strong man. It seems that the court attaches great importance to you." Ma Chengwen suddenly thought of another thing and hurriedly told him
Li Xuan listened.
"A Confucian scholar from the Imperial College?" Upon hearing these words, Li Xuan frowned slightly.
Confucian scholars are also a type of monks. They practice Confucian awe-inspiring righteousness, and they are natural enemies of shadow spiritual power.
Li Xuan majored in shadow spiritual power, and always felt a little timid when meeting Confucian scholars who practiced Haoran's righteousness.
Especially the ghosts he summoned were most afraid of the Confucian scholars' righteousness and would tremble without being beaten.
Thinking of dealing with a Confucian scholar, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head. He wanted to refuse, but how could he just get away with something like canonization...
Two days later, the canonization ceremony was held at the city lord's official residence. For some unknown reason, the ceremony that could have been a big one was only held in a small area. In addition to the city lord Long Wenya's family, there were also people from Luoyi City who participated.
some nobles.
Most people had only heard of Li Xuan's name in rumors. Now that they saw his true face, many people were very suspicious. In their opinion, how could such a young man single-handedly kill the Dafa Chamber of Commerce?
Thinking of the inexplicable canonization, their minds began to ponder the mystery of it. As for what flaws they would think of, then there was no telling.
Li Xuan didn't have time to pay attention to other people's thoughts. From the first time he saw Gan Wangdao, the two of them had their eyes locked together, secretly competing with each other.
Monks and Confucian scholars, one is dark and the other is light, one is with the devil, and the other believes in the righteousness of heaven and earth, they will never pee in the same pot.
Although he didn't know Li Xuan's true identity, Gan Wangdao hated this young man who always had a smile on his face.
But no matter how much he hated Li Xuan, he still had to follow the ritual procedures. He hung the medal symbolizing the title on Li Xuan's chest, and then read out the decree from the emperor, officially conferring Li Xuan a baron with the title "Luo Xuan".
city".
"Luocheng..." Li Xuan clicked the title and thought that he was granted the title in Luoyi City. It seemed that the court was very careful about his canonization.
The process of the ceremony was relatively simple, and it ended after the edict was read out. As for the selection of the fiefdom, it was negotiated between Long Wenya and Li Xuan, and Gan Wangdao did not need to worry about it.
After the ceremony, there was a small cocktail party. A group of young noble men and women were laughing and dancing in the hall. The slightly older people gathered together in twos and threes to chat, but most of the eyes were on Li Xuan and Gan Wangdao, intentionally or unintentionally.
Wander around.
"Sister, do you think there is something wrong with the two of them being so close?" A noble girl in a pink dress hid behind the pillars and peeked at Li Xuan and Gan Wang in the corner.
, asked a girl in green next to her who was not much older than her.
The girl curled her lips slightly: "What are you thinking about?"
The girl in the pink skirt pouted and said, "I think that Li Xuan is very handsome, especially when he smiles, he has a bit of a bad vibe. I like him very much."
"Do you like that guy?" the girl in green said in a disdainful tone, "I don't think he will live long."
"Why?" The girl in the pink skirt was startled.
"The Dafa Chamber of Commerce is not a good man. If anyone could destroy their branch without paying the price, they would have perished decades ago. Just wait and see, this new baron will have a good life in just a few days.
." said the girl in green.
As if to verify her prediction, as soon as the girl in green finished speaking, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from the hall.
A cloud of gunpowder smoke exploded in the crowd, and a cloud of steel bullets with sparks shot towards Li Xuan and Gan Wangdao in the corner.
Li Xuan and Gan Wangdao stood in the corner of the hall, with soft music floating in their ears. There were pairs of handsome men and beauties dancing in the distance. Although the party scene was smaller, the atmosphere was very cheerful.
However, for Li Xuan and Gan Wangdao, this was the moment when they could tear off their hypocritical masks and truly look at each other.
"You smell like a devil." Gan Wangdao held a glass of mellow wine in his hand. The color of the wine was as red as blood. Two balls of light flashed in his eyes. He stared at Li Xuan closely, as if he wanted to dig him out.
Revealing his deepest secret.
Li Xuan felt that these words sounded familiar, and after recalling them for a while, he remembered that the cold little beauty Luo Mingzhu seemed to have said the same thing when she first met him.
Thinking of Luo Mingzhu's iceberg-like coldness, Li Xuan was a little distracted, but a few seconds later, he felt pain on his face as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
Gan Wangdao's gaze was like an awl, which surprised Li Xuan. It was true that the other party was a Confucian scholar, but there were also strong men and cowards among Confucian scholars. The man in front of him was definitely not a coward. He could make Li Xuan have a look just by looking at him.
It feels like needles pricking, which shows your strength.
Of course, Li Xuan would not show weakness. Since the other party came to challenge him, he did not mind fighting with this Confucian scholar.
With a sharp look, the shadow spiritual power in Li Xuan's body began to flow and gradually gathered in his pupils. A cold and cold aura emanated from his pupils and gradually spread around, shrouding Gan Wangdao
stand up.
Gan Wangdao felt the temperature around him drop instantly. He snorted coldly, and a ball of blazing light shone from his body, forming a circle of light, blocking Li Xuan's shadow aura from outside his body.
Although there was no direct physical contact, the fight between the two sides was quite fierce. Li Xuan kept releasing the shadow spiritual power, and the strong breath of death was like a beast biting towards Gan Wangdao. As long as he could make him
If his mind is shaken, it may invade his brain and give him a heavy blow to his spirit.
