Volume Two: The Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 155: Shocking Change
The two men from Danmeng walked up to Su Ruxue, as if they had discovered a treasure. The old man kept smiling and nodding, and the old woman finally stopped showing a straight face, grabbed Su Ruxue's hand and spoke to her cordially.
However, it may be that the competition is not over yet. The two of them just checked the elixir refined by Su Ruxue and then returned to their original positions.
After a while, Peng Yan also finished refining it, and he also raised his hands to signal to the two Danmeng men, with an expectant look on his face like a concubine who wanted to be blessed.
The old man and the old woman walked to Peng Yan's elixir furnace and just glanced at the elixir refined by Xiaopang. Although their eyes lit up, they quickly disappeared and returned to their original state without saying anything.
Poor fat brother, please forgive me... Lin Dongjiu looked at Peng Yan's irritated look and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
But what should be said, if not for killing the dark horse Su Ruxue, with Peng Yan's talent and skills in alchemy, he won the first place in the competition, and was appreciated by the two big guys of the Dan Alliance, and pretended to be a competition, and from then on
Reaching the pinnacle of life is really easy, but it's a pity...
It's a pity that God showered luck on the world, but little fat man held up an umbrella.
The script was originally written, but the stage was trashed. How can I explain it to you!
The gong sounded at the end of the competition, and as expected by Lin Dongjiu, the first place was Su Ruxue, and the second place was Peng Yan.
When it came to the awards ceremony, only the top three in the competition were rewarded. Lin Dongjiu saw that the two men from the Dan League awarded Su Ruxue a bunch of heaven and earth fire, Peng Yan a pill furnace, and the third place a box of pills.
Su Ruxue casually accepted the Heaven and Earth Fire without any expression of joy on her face, as if these things were no longer important to her.
Lin Dongjiu felt sad when he saw it, and even more determined to return to the clan tonight.
Peng Yan still looked like he was desperate for life. After putting away the alchemy furnace, he glanced at the Baicao Cao seat angrily, turned around and ran away.
There were scoldings and table-slapping sounds from Baicao Cao, but perhaps due to the occasion, no one was sent to chase them.
When Lin Dongjiu saw this scene, he didn't believe that Xiaopang had no face to see Jiangdong and his father. No need to guess, this kid must have gone to Zuidielou to hang out, and he was the kind of guy who could make money just by hanging around for one more day.
With a wry smile, Lin Dongjiu saw the two big guys from the Dan Alliance walking to the Luoxia Sect seat and specifically talking to Su Ruxue, but Su Ruxue kept shaking his head, and Su Bei and Fang Lei looked anxious.
He was trying his best to persuade Su Ruxue.
In this situation, it is not convenient for Lin Dongjiu to use his spiritual sense to spy. If a keen expert detects it, his identity will be exposed, so he doesn't know what they are talking about.
However, he had heard Xiaopang say before that people in the Dan League were looking for talented alchemy wizards. He estimated that the two big guys were interested in talents and wanted to recruit Su Ruxue into the Dan League, but Su
Ruxue just doesn’t want to.
Finally, the two big guys shook their heads and sighed, gave up, gave Su Ruxue an object, and hurriedly left the venue.
The competition was completely over, and the dignitaries in the south took the lead. But at this moment, something unexpected happened again.
Yin Tao took the lead with the support of the maid, and a figure suddenly appeared from the direction of Baicao Cao, whipping up a strong wind and hitting Yin Tao like lightning.
Faced with the sudden change, everyone panicked, even Sect Leader Baicao Caowei stood up directly.
Lin Dongjiu's heart sank even more. His first reaction was, maybe Nie Weiwei had taken action against Yin Tao!
But when I thought about it again, I found my idea a bit funny.
Lin Dongjiu could see clearly that the person who attacked Yin Tao was an elder from Baicao Cao. No matter how powerful Nie Weiwei was, she could not bribe the elders from Baicao Cao.
Furthermore, even if Qiu Qianbian might trade with Yin Tao's life to lure Nie Weiwei to steal the military talisman, the result is obvious. After Qiu Qianbian obtained the military talisman, even if he directly killed Nie Weiwei to silence her, he would not kill her.
Yin Tao.
As for Yin Tao's safety, Lin Dongjiu is not worried. After all, the old man standing next to her is not a vegetarian.
The old man slowly turned back, snorted coldly, and gently raised the crutch in his hand, pointing a little toward the void.
All movements seemed extremely slow, but the black shadow seemed to be wrapped in an invisible force field, and its speed actually reached the same frequency as the old man's movements.
Then I saw blood mist erupting from the black figure's body, and it fell straight to the ground, as if it was being suppressed and unable to break free.
The elders of Wei Xinghai and Baicao Cao jumped over and asked loudly: "Elder Wu, what are you doing? Are you crazy!"
The man named Elder Wu curled up on the ground, raised his head, and revealed a ferocious face:
"The Yin family...is not going to die a good death! We, Baicao Cao...swear to slaughter the entire Yin family!"
After finishing speaking, Elder Wu's eyes were full of death wish, and his body glowed with red light.
He is going to blow up his Dantian!
The expression of the old man beside Yin Tao changed suddenly, and he picked up Yin Tao and flew high into the sky.
Wei Xinghai narrowed his eyes, used his hand as a knife, slashed through the air, and chopped off Elder Wu's head with one blow.
King Gongsheng looked at the corpse on the ground, with a dark face, and asked in a deep voice:
"Sect Master Wei, what do you mean by Baicao Cao?"
Wei Xinghai took a deep look at King Gongsheng, but still put down his attitude and said:
"Wu Ao's personal behavior has nothing to do with Baicao Cao. As for the fright the empress received, we at Baicao Cao will give an explanation. We hope King Gongsheng will forgive you!"
King Gongsheng just snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left.
Wei Xinghai watched King Gongsheng leave, his fingers turned white and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Jia Wen said in a solemn tone: "Sect Master, Elder Wu..."
Wei Xinghai waved his hand and said coldly: "Find Peng Yan first, and then withdraw all the materials from the Dan Pavilion in the imperial city to the sect, as soon as possible!"
The elders were puzzled, but they still said: "Yes..."
The scene was in chaos, with only a group of guards left to maintain order. The disciples of the Luoxia Sect and the Piaomiao Xian Sect had already withdrawn, but Su Bei remained in place, as if waiting for something.
Wei Xinghai looked back at Su Bei, sighed slightly in his heart, and walked straight over...
The turmoil has disappeared, but the impact caused by it cannot stop here with the death of Elder Wu.
Outside the venue, tens of thousands of people stranded in the square were in an uproar when they saw this scene through the photo stone.
After tonight, Baicao Cao will be pushed to the forefront by a huge public opinion storm, and the Demon Palace's sanctions against Baicao Cao have begun...
At this time, Lin Dongjiu was already far away from the center of the storm. He was drinking tea leisurely in Zuidie Tower and discussing the specific arrangements for tonight with Die Huanyi.
After everything was discussed, Lin Dongjiu rubbed his temples and asked:
"Is Nie Weiwei here?"
Die Huanyi shook his head and said: "The slave family sent many informants, but none of them were found."
Lin Dongjiu said "hmm" and then said, "What do you think about Baicao Cao?"
Die Huanyi replied: "Baicaochao is the fattest piece of meat in Lingyun Kingdom. Qiu Qianbian has long wanted to operate on Baicaodiao, but the slave family did not expect that Qiu Qianbian would do it in this way."
"This is a conspiracy and there is almost no solution."
Die Huanyi pinched Lin Dongjiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "But this is a good thing for the master!"
"really..."
Lin Dongjiu also smiled and looked out the window with a deep look.
"It's time, I should go."
Lin Dongjiu patted Die Huanyi's hand, stood up, and said:
"The Lei Guang Sect relies on you for more support. Xiaodie, please take care of yourself!"
Die Huanyi helped Lin Dongjiu tidy up her clothes like a little daughter-in-law, with extreme reluctance in her eyes:
"Hmm, master, you should also take care of yourself. After the meeting in red, Qiu Qianbian will definitely take action against master."
Lin Dongjiu nodded, strode out of the room, took the Great Sage and left the Zuidie Building.
In the dark night, Lin Dongjiu took the Great Sage out of the imperial city, but he did not want to return to the sect directly, but explained a few words to the Great Sage. After hearing this, the Great Sage nodded, turned around and got into the forest. After a while,
Then disappeared.
Lin Dongjiu looked at the direction the Great Sage was leaving, sighed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Great Sage..."
After seeing off the Great Sage, Lin Dongjiu returned to the imperial city. Before looking for Yin Shang, he made a special trip to the river where he and the eldest lady put lanterns last time.
Today is not the Lantern Festival, but there are still many vendors selling lanterns, and there are also many tourists setting off lanterns.
Lin Dongjiu stopped for a long time and went to a stall selling lanterns.
"Auntie, I want all the lanterns in your stall."
This stall was the same stall where he and Su Ruxue bought lanterns last time. Lin Dongjiu wanted to buy some lanterns for Su Ruxue, so he planned to take care of her family's business.
"Come on, young man, hey...why didn't that little girl come with you?"
The lady looking after the stall put down her cattail leaf fan and stood up quickly to greet her.
Lin Dongjiu didn't expect that this lady would actually remember him and Su Ruxue, so she responded:
"She...we haven't seen each other for a while."
"But these lanterns I bought are just for her!"
"Haha...you young people..."
The aunt showed a kind smile, and while installing lanterns for Lin Dongjiu, she said:
"That little girl came over a few months ago and insisted on teaching her how to weave lanterns. She bought a lot of materials for weaving lanterns back home."
"She has been here..."
Lin Dongjiu opened his mouth, feeling a bit bitter at the corner of his mouth, and there was an indescribable taste lingering in his heart.
"Yes, auntie, I even teased her and asked her why she wanted to learn?
She said she wanted to make it up for her sweetheart."
The aunt looked up at Lin Dongjiu and said with a smile:
"Young man, you are so lucky. Your little enemy treats you sincerely. Don't let him down."
Lin Dongjiu took a deep breath and slowly uttered a few words, but his tone was unusually firm:
"Won't!"
"That's good!"
The aunt nodded with satisfaction. She handed the wrapped lantern to Lin Dongjiu, then grabbed his hand and pulled him into the stall:
"Young man, come here and let me say a few words to you."
Lin Dongjiu said respectfully: "Please tell me."
The aunt said earnestly: "Young man, don't blame the aunt for speaking outright. If you have time to buy lanterns, why not go and see that little girl more."
"Last time the little girl came over, oh, my little appearance made my aunt feel distressed."
"She seems to be sick, her hair has turned white, and her eyes are red and swollen, as if a gust of wind could blow her over!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid that little girl... Sigh! Young man, I won't talk about the many ladies. You should go and see them quickly."
Lin Dongjiu was speechless for a long time. Every word the aunt said was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, making his heart ache.
Although the eldest lady is a little tsundere, how could he not see the eldest lady's strong feelings for him?
How could Lin Dongjiu not feel the change in Su Ruxue's attitude toward him from acquaintance to acquaintance, and every bit of experience.
He doesn't deny that he also likes Su Ruxue and that silly girl who would rather die than block the gun for him...
Desire can deceive, but feelings cannot.
However, he did not dare to admit it in front of the eldest lady.
Because he thinks he is different from others.
In this world, he is an alien, unable to control his own destiny, and has too many unknowns in the future...
He is afraid...
Just like that night, he didn't dare to express his feelings to Ling'er until the end.
Because he is afraid that the promises he made will not be fulfilled, he is afraid that he will die one day, and he is afraid that karma will make him a stranger to the person he loves one day.
Therefore, even if he knew Mu Ling'er or Su Ruxue's intentions, he would not dare to step even half a step beyond the thunder pool.
But, it's different now, he's not afraid anymore, he's not afraid of anything.
Because blindly escaping can't solve any problem, but it makes you less like a man.
Besides, a man carries not only responsibilities but also his wife on his shoulders, right?
After finally reviving your life, what you want is to be happy!
Afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, leaving you full of regrets and aggrieved in the end!
"Auntie, I have to leave. Thank you for telling me this."
Lin Dongjiu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his eyes became clearer and clearer.
How long does it take for a boy to grow up? Maybe a lifetime, maybe, overnight...
"Well, go back quickly, the little girl must be waiting for you."
The aunt watched Lin Dongjiu go away, then sat back on the chair and shook the cattail leaf fan, with a kind smile on her wrinkled face...
