"Hey, just laugh at me now. Wait a while and see if I don't bring you a sister-in-law!"
"Well...as long as you're happy!"
"Okay, let's not talk to you now. Your brother and I are going to start a career!"
Jiang Yunli left happily, not forgetting to shout before leaving, my spring is finally coming!
Lin Dongjiu was speechless, wondering if it was too late to tell Jiang Yunli the truth, but should he tell him or not?
Forget it, that’s it!
Lin Dongjiu was afraid that after Jiang Yunli learned the truth, his little heart wouldn't be able to bear it any longer. If he got excited and let it go, that would be troublesome!
It’s better to stay in the dark!
At least I can have a better hope for life!
Lin Dongjiu has decided not to tell him the truth in this life...
After sending Jiang Yunli away, Su Ruxue returned home.
"Xiao Lin, where have you been these days? I asked City Master Leng, but he was still mysterious and refused to tell me."
As soon as Su Ruxue saw Lin Dongjiu, she threw herself into his arms, her face full of longing and happiness.
Lin Dongjiu's heart warmed up, and just when he wanted to touch her little head, Su Ruxue broke away from his arms, raised her little face, hugged her chest and said:
"Xiao Lin, why do you smell like a woman? Tell me honestly, where have you been fooling around these days?"
Was he discovered after all... Lin Dongjiu felt sweat on his forehead and quietly put the storage ring in his hand into the system storage compartment.
If the eldest lady checks his storage ring again and finds that there are other women's clothes in it, then it's not useless.
It's all Jiang Yunli's fault!
Delaying my bathing!
Lin Dongjiu cursed in his heart, hugged Su Ruxue into his arms, and explained softly:
"Ruxue, I am wronged! These days I have been visiting the city lords of other big cities with City Lord Leng. How could I go fooling around? If you don't believe me, City Lord Leng can vouch for me."
"Hmph! City Lord Leng has come back long ago!"
Su Ruxue snorted softly, pinched the flesh around Lin Dongjiu's waist, and said:
"You must have gone to find Sister Yueyao, right?"
Lin Dongjiu followed the words and said with a serious expression:
"That's right, I'm going to see Hua Yueyao."
"well!"
He then sighed and said:
"But... I didn't expect Hua Yueyao to escape from the sect and go to the secret realm to rescue me, and she hasn't come back yet."
"ah?!"
Su Ruxue covered her mouth in surprise and said hurriedly:
"Sister Yueyao actually went to the secret realm to save you? No wonder she seemed to be in a hurry that day and asked me specifically if your jade medal of life was broken."
"It's all my fault!"
She suddenly lowered her head and blamed herself:
"I should have told the truth that day, so that she would not risk going to the secret realm to save you. When she learns the news of your return, she will definitely be very happy..."
Lin Dongjiu looked at the silly girl in his arms, couldn't help but touched her head lovingly, and said softly:
"Silly girl, how can I blame you? Don't worry, I will go to the secret realm again the day after tomorrow to find her back."
"OK!"
Su Ruxue nodded, but then asked doubtfully: "But why the day after tomorrow?"
"because..."
Lin Dongjiu stayed in Ruxue, specifically not to let her see the murderous look on his face, and said lightly:
"Because we have to deal with some things tomorrow and there is no other way but to wait until the day after tomorrow."
He skipped the topic and asked: "By the way, has anything happened to the sect recently?"
"Well...Elder Xu came to see you yesterday and said that the task you gave him has been completed."
Su Ruxue thought for a while and then said: "There is another big thing. Pang Qi has defected to the sect!"
Su Ruxue explained bitterly: "Pang Qi not only took refuge in the Demon Palace, but he also embezzled a lot of money from the sect over the years.
My father has been investigating this matter these days, and the evidence is conclusive, but somehow, this matter was leaked, and Pang Qi fled the sect overnight, which is really abominable!"
"It's good to run away!"
Lin Dongjiu said excitedly: "But it doesn't matter, he will be back tomorrow."
Su Ruxue looked confused. Before she could ask, Lin Dongjiu said:
"I'll go to Elder Xu and your father's place. You wait for me at home."
Su Ruxue was very obedient and did not ask any more questions. She also forgot that Lin Dongjiu's clothes smelled of other women.
She just stood on tiptoes, helped Lin Dongjiu straighten the wrinkles on his collar, nodded and said:
"Well, come back early and don't tire yourself out."
Lin Dongjiu kissed Su Ruxue's forehead gently, turned around and walked out the door.
On the way, Lin Dongjiu deduced the direction of the "chess game" in his mind and planned for possible changes.
To his relief, although he was delayed for a few days in the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, fortunately, every move of the "chess piece" was exactly as he expected, and there was not much deviation.
The only thing he couldn't predict was that he didn't know if Huandieyi was ready...
Arriving at the sect's main peak, Lin Dongjiu saw his "father-in-law", Su Bei was sitting at the desk handling sect affairs with a frown on his face.
Seeing Lin Dongjiu come in, Su Bei did not put down what he was doing, but just said: "You're back?"
Lin Dongjiu pulled out a chair and sat down casually in front of Su Bei.
"Sect Master, what are you busy with so late?"
"Alas!" Su Bei sighed, looked at the account book in his hand, and said with a frown:
"Aren't you looking at the account book you asked that... that little clever guy to send over?"
He raised his head, his doubtful tone mixed with a hint of complaint:
"Say kid, this was a good opportunity to clean up the house, but why did you tell me not to act rashly? That's good. Now that Pang Qi heard the news and ran away, it will be difficult to catch him again."
"Sect Master, don't be anxious first."
Lin Dongjiu crossed his legs and said with a leisurely smile:
"Actually, I deliberately let Xiao Jiling leak the news. The purpose of doing this was to allow Pang Qi to escape from the sect."
Su Bei frowned and became even more puzzled. Lin Dongjiu thought to himself and said:
"Thanks to Little Clever. If he hadn't told me that he had evidence of Pang Qi's corruption, I might have used other methods to uproot Pang Qi. But this process would be much more troublesome and would expose some of my secrets."
...means."
"As for why I wanted to spread the word and let him escape, that's because I wanted to give the Demon Palace an opportunity to attack our sect."
What Lin Dongjiu said was actually not entirely correct, because according to his and Die Huanyi's plan, regardless of whether Pang Qi escaped from the sect, Die Huanyi would still encourage Qiu Qianbian to attack the Luoxia Sect.
As for why the Demon Palace did not take the opportunity to capture the Luoxia Sect during the battle with the Fengyin Sect, Die Huanyi also told him the reason.
At that time, Qiu Qianbian had the intention to capture the Luoxia Sect, but he did not trust the Fengyin Sect too much because he was afraid that if he helped the Fengyin Sect capture the Luoxia Sect, the Fengyin Sect would stab the Demon Palace in the back.
So I thought of waiting for a while, taking advantage of the situation where both the Luoxia Sect and the Fengyin Sect were hurt, and then took down the two major sects, the Fengyin Sect and the Luoxia Sect, in order to reap the benefits.
But who would have thought that when he finally waited for the final battle between the Luoxia Sect and the Fengyin Sect, Lin Dongjiu would come out to disrupt the situation again, directly changing the direction of the war.
After the Feng Yin Sect was defeated, Qiu Qian turned into a bamboo basket and failed, so he changed his strategy and planned to attack Baicao Cao during the alchemy competition. This gave the Luoxia Sect the opportunity to hide its strength and bide its time.
But the situation was different now. Lin Dongjiu "escaped" from Die Huanyi. This kind of consequences was no less than letting the tiger go back to the mountain. He didn't believe that Qiu Qianbian wasn't in a hurry.
So when he and Die Huanyi were planning, he asked her to use this reason to stir up trouble against Qiu Qianbian at the red-dress meeting.
However, for a wily silver coin like Qiu Qianbian, he would probably not be fooled by this reason, and Lin Dongjiu actually didn't have much hope for this move.
But after Punch defected, everything became different.
Pang Qi is Qiu Qianbian's nail in the Luoxia Sect and the bomb buried in the Luoxia Sect. When he finally closes the net, he will detonate the bomb and destroy the Luoxia Sect in one fell swoop.
But now, Lin Dongjiu has defused this bomb and turned from passive to active. Die Huanyi may not need to speak at that time, and Qiu Qianbian will definitely stop the loss in time and attack the Luoxia Sect as soon as possible.
As for when to fight, and whether it follows the agreed date, it depends on whether Die Huanyi can seize this opportunity.
Lin Dongjiu believed that with Die Huanyi's agility, she would have realized that this was an excellent opportunity, a legitimate opportunity to convince Qiu Qianbian to send troops, even if the two had no prior communication.
And she will also not be suspected by Qiu Qianbian, killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Lin Dongjiu had to praise him in his heart, he is so clever and always amazing!
Subei couldn't help but asked: "Give the Demon Palace an opportunity to attack our sect? What's the point of this?"
"It's not so much the Demon Palace's opportunity as it is our opportunity."
Lin Dongjiu touched his non-existent beard, pretending to be cunning, and said:
"That old guy Pang Qi is working hard in our sect to celebrate the New Year for the Demon Palace, and he has already left a huge legacy of disaster.
Therefore, after Pang Qi escapes, he will definitely jump over the wall, cooperate with the demon disciples placed in the sect by the Demon Palace, and defeat our Luoxia Sect in one fell swoop.
However, we can also take advantage of this opportunity to completely clean up the door."
In fact, according to Lin Dongjiu's plan, cleaning up the sect is secondary. His main purpose is to greatly weaken the power of the Demon Palace before the final war.
However, Lin Dongjiu was afraid that Su Bei would have concerns about this matter and disrupt his proper rhythm, so he did not give Su Bei a good greeting beforehand and could only use the excuse of cleaning up the family to gain Su Bei's support.
Su Sect Master, who was put in a "sack", actually expressed his concerns:
"It would be a good thing if we can take this opportunity to clean up the sect, but...our sect has just experienced a war and needs to recuperate. I'm afraid that when the Demon Palace really attacks, we will only be beaten.
Son."
Lin Dongjiu smiled faintly:
"Sect master, don't worry. Elder Xu and I have already made preparations. Now we just wait for the Demon Palace to fall into the trap."
He stood up and said: "But in the end, I still need the sect master to do one thing for me."
Subei asked: "What happened?"
"Tomorrow, I need the sect master's help to gather all the disciples in the sect together."
Lin Dongjiu said slowly: "I have already thought of the reason for you, which is to hold a sect competition."
"Sect competition? Tomorrow?"
Su Bei frowned and said, "If I didn't explain it in advance, wouldn't it be too tight for time?"
Lin Dongjiu touched his nose and said with some embarrassment:
"This was my mistake. I didn't expect that I would stay out for such a long time. Otherwise, I should have told you a few days ago."
"But although time is a bit tight, it doesn't matter."
His eyes were shining brightly, and he said with the overall situation in mind:
"The sect master can definitely inform us now. Although some disciples may complain, most disciples have been looking forward to the sect competition for a long time.
If we notify you tonight, they will be prepared for tomorrow's sect competition, so as not to be caught off guard when the Demon Palace attacks."
"Okay! I'll make arrangements now!"
Su Bei nodded and hurriedly stood up to go out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to pat Lin Dongjiu on the shoulder.
Lin Dongjiu caught Su Bei's trust and satisfaction towards him in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, now he has completely taken care of his "father-in-law". He probably doesn't need to call him sect master when they meet again in the future, just call him dad.
