Xia Xiaomei and Luo Biyao, who had returned empty-handed, were walking uneasily towards their temporary residence. They were working for the royal capital and were subordinates of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Palace.
They walked in disorderly, slowly and hastily, and cautiously.
There was no one in the whole room except Commander Commander Si Kong who was sitting there. Commander Commander Commander heard the sound and glanced at the two of them. Then, a bone-chilling voice sounded from beside them:
"Where are the people?"
Xia Xiaomei and Luo Biyao's hearts tightened. Xia Xiaomei remained silent and looked at Luo Biyao with erratic eyes. Luo Biyao also pondered for a long time. Seeing that the commander-in-chief closed his eyes and didn't even look at the two of them, he had to grit his teeth and tell the whole story.
They all were said out loud, and Commander Sikong's face turned green and white.
After listening to this, Commander Commander Sikong's face was as cold as frost on the window. Then he looked at the two of them and sneered: "In other words, you, who are at the peak of the Dawn Realm, can't beat a brat who is just practicing physical training?
is that so?"
Luo Biyao immediately knelt down half-kneeling, clasping his hands into fists, and said, "I am incompetent and did not bring the young lady back."
"However, his boxing skills are really too weird. If Xiao Mei had used it at that time, I'm afraid she would have been defeated." Luo Biyao defended himself again.
The Commander-in-Chief glanced at Xia Xiaomei and said leisurely: "Is it true?"
"Yes, yes." Xia Xiaomei nodded repeatedly and replied softly.
Originally, the Commander-in-Chief was irritable because of his daughter's affairs. When he saw Luo Biyao and Xia Xiaomei deceiving him by singing along, he couldn't help but feel furious again.
He stood up from the chair, kicked the torch next to him, and then punched the wall behind him. Immediately, the punch mark penetrated three-thirds of the wall, causing a terrifying deep crack. He shouted at the two of them: "Failure."
It’s just a failure, where do you get so many excuses!”
"We are both no match for each other, so we join forces to deceive me. Isn't this fun?"
Seeing that Commander Sikong was angry, Luo Biyao quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Commander Sikong. Xia Xiaomei also panicked. Commander Sikong became angry. He could do anything. If he killed them, he would do anything.
It's too late. Even if she is...
"Your Majesty! I... my subordinate realizes my mistake. Next time, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Luo Biyao was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat and swallowed his saliva in big mouthfuls.
"You don't want to bring her back at all, do you?" Commander Sikong's smile turned slightly cold, and there was some disappointment in his tone, but more of it was suppressed anger.
Seeing what Commander Sikong said, the two of them dared not speak out to argue again, so they could only stay silent and wait quietly, looking at Commander Sikong's face.
"never mind!"
After a while, Commander Sikong calmed down, sat down, rubbed his temples with both hands, and said: "I'll spare you this time, Xia Xiaomei, you can leave first, Luo Biyao, I'll leave you with something important to entrust."
There are two reasons why Commander Commander Sikong let them go. First, Xia Xiaomei is the daughter of Xia Yunfeng from the Shadow Emperor Palace. If he did something to Xia Xiaomei, Xia Yunfeng would not let him go. He knew Xia Yunfeng and had a strong personality.
It was so serious that he might demolish his palace. The most important thing was that Luo Biyao was one of the future chief gods he valued, and he was the best candidate to control the borders of the Nine Fortresses in the future.
At the same time, among the younger generation, Luo Biyao is the most outstanding, and only Luo Biyao can hold this position.
Now, he wanted to entrust him with this important mission.
"Thank you for not killing me, sir!" Luo Biyao was overjoyed when he heard that, and he quickly got up from the ground and said gratefully.
After Xia Xiaomei left, the Commander-in-Chief looked at Luo Biyao and said, "I asked you to stay to announce something."
"What's going on?" Luo Biyao asked hurriedly.
"I order you to become the main priest of the Emperor's Palace, and to hold the Xuanwu Seal together with Xia Xiaomei." Commander Sikong said in a calm tone with a hint of majesty.
"What?!"
Luo Biyao felt a little frightened, but also a little surprised, because he heard others discussing in private that Commander Sikong already had the intention of naming him the main god of Xuanwu. However, Luo Biyao never thought that Commander Sikong's decision would be made.
So fast.
"Sir, are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to me?" Luo Biyao asked with a pleased look on his face.
"Can I still lie to you? That's it. Besides, haven't you always had an admiration for Xia Xiaomei? The first come first, the first come the moon. You can't let go of such a good opportunity!" Commander Sikong looked at Luo Biyao.
, said with a meaningful smile.
Luo Biyao was so grateful that he knelt down quickly and said, "I obey!"
"However, it may not be too early. My subordinates have not yet established prestige and trust in the army, and there are many people who are far better than me." After Luo Biyao was overjoyed, he raised his head and looked at the Commander-in-Chief, and said anxiously.
"Although there are people who are far more talented than you, there are only a few who can compare with you among your peers. Besides, the Holy Seal changes hands every thirty years, and it's time for us old guys to give way to you young people.
And now, I am planning for your future, don’t let me down again.”
After Luo Biyao heard what the commander-in-chief said, he was immediately overjoyed, and he immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, sir!"
"Tomorrow, go to Fengying Village, find Lin Fengtang, and ask him if he has completed everything he asked him to do."
"Yes, my lord!"
…
When Qiankun got up in the morning, he continued to do morning exercises as before, as if what happened yesterday had not happened.
He thought that the conflict between his father and mother should be resolved by themselves. He had never seen his mother, and he didn't know what happened between them. Let alone where his mother was, even if he found out where his mother was,
, will he say "mother" to her?
Gan Jiutian came out and saw Qiankun doing morning exercises. He went up and said, "Kun'er, it's time for us to set off."
"How many villages are there?" Qiankun stopped what he was doing and asked.
"Eight villages will participate, and the time is approaching." Qian Jiutian said.
Therefore, Qian and Kun left Bazheng Village and came to Fengying Village. Because of the martial arts conference, Fengying Village was extremely lively today, and it had already reached the point of a sea of people.
Qiankun watched with great interest. He did not expect that Lin Fengtang would really make such a big noise this time. He wanted to see what kind of disturbance he could stir up this time.
Qian Jiutian patted Qiankun's shoulder. Qiankun was stunned, but after seeing Qian Jiutian's concerned face, he smiled easily.
In the crowd, Lin Fengtang saw Qiankun and his son. He immediately stepped forward warmly, held Qian Jiutian's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Master Qian, I didn't expect that you are here. Your arrival is really great."
Let our humble abode be resplendent!"
Qiankun tried hard not to laugh. This Lin Fengtang really looked the same in front of others but in the back. This strong disguise made Qiankun feel that Lin Fengtang was really a kind and amiable person.
Could this still be him?
Gan Jiutian also knew that these were just polite words to cope with the situation, but he still had to say hello politely.
Qian Jiutian smiled politely and responded, then coughed dryly and patted Qiankun's shoulder.
Only then did Lin Fengtang notice the existence of Qiankun. He was surprised to see Qiankun coming, but he also said to Qiankun with a shy smile: "Hey! The young master is here! I didn't notice it just now, don't take it to heart. ah."
Qiankun also responded casually, and then his eyes drifted into the distance. After Lin Fengtang greeted the two of them, he flew up, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly: "Quiet! Everyone, please be quiet! Listen to me. !”
Suddenly, the scene became quiet. Seeing that everyone was listening to him, Lin Fengtang continued: "The purpose of this martial arts conference is to enhance the relationship between our brothers and sisters and to live in harmony with our neighbors. The person who wins at the end will get a spirit-breaking pill."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man laughed heartily. Qian Jiutian looked at the sound. This man was none other than Cheng Fang, the head of the Chengjia Village Hall.
"Spirit-Breaking Pill? I heard that it is a good treasure that can allow people who cannot practice Qi to regain the qualifications to practice, allowing people with Qi training level and below to directly advance to the Dawn Realm! Hall Master Lin, you are really generous."
As soon as Cheng Fang finished speaking, the crowd began to boil again.
At this time, Li Ye from Huxiao Village also responded and said: "Yes! Hall Master Lin is generous! We brothers can't be polite, right? Do you think this is right?"
"Yes!" Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Cai Hong from Julong Village said coldly: "That also depends on whether you have the strength to deserve this pill? Old Man Li!"
"Huh? Old Man Cai? Why do you always have problems? Do you dislike me?" Li Ye moved his eyes to Cai Hong and said in a deep voice.
"I don't mean to be displeased, I just have deep doubts about Hall Master Li's strength." Cai Hong said in a teasing tone.
It seems that the interest of these people has been completely ignited by Lin Fengtang. The spirit-breaking pill is naturally not painful for Lin Fengtang, but for people like Cheng Fang who have not used pills for decades, To me, it's already a pretty good reward. You can win everyone's trust easily, which is really a very evil act. Lin Fengtang, you have a good plan.
