In a large house, Li Chengwu walked into the dim study, stood in front of the desk, and said respectfully to his father: "Dad, I'm back."
Li Chengwu's father, Li Zexi, was a captain in the imperial guard. He looked very similar to Li Chengwu, but he was over middle-aged and looked a little more calm and tough than Li Chengwu.
Li Zexi glanced at his son and snorted: "Where are you messing around again?"
Li Chengwu was arrogant and domineering when facing the gang of friends outside, but he seemed timid and cautious when facing his father. Hearing the reproach in his father's words, he hurriedly defended: "Dad, I didn't fool around, you asked me to do it."
The matter is done."
"oh?"
Li Zexi's expression softened slightly and asked: "Did that boy named Yu agree to compete?"
"It's not him, it's another person."
Li Chengwu paused and added: "That boy is also from Qingshui County, and his cultivation level is higher than that boy named Yu."
"oh?"
Li Zexi was a little surprised and asked: "What is going on? Please tell me in detail."
Li Chengwu did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly explained in detail what happened in front of Zuixian Tower today.
After saying that, Li Chengwu said again: "Dad, that boy's cultivation level is higher than that of Yu Xianden, at least the fourth level of Canglong Jue. If he enters the ring, he might be able to survive three rounds."
After listening to this, Li Zexi pondered for a while and asked: "That kid from Qingtian County really has the cultivation level of the fourth level of Canglong Jue?"
Li Chengwu nodded and affirmed: "Although I can't tell the details of that boy, his cultivation level must be above the fourth level of Canglong Jue. The cultivation levels of Sanlang of the Hu family and the eighth son of the Tong family are both close to the second level of Canglong Jue.
As soon as they touched that kid, they were bounced back by the strong energy on his body. It was so crisp and clear that I was determined not to do it."
"It seems that that boy's cultivation level is indeed higher than that of the boy named Yu."
Li Zexi trusted his son's judgment.
The Li family has been a small military leader in the imperial guard for several generations, not as high as a general. However, the ancestors of the family had special circumstances and acquired a set of mysterious skills, which have been passed down to this generation.
Although Li Chengwu's cultivation level is only equivalent to the level of the third level of Canglong Jue, their ancestral skills are fierce and domineering, and the body-protecting aura they have cultivated can even rival those of the fourth level of Canglong Jue. Therefore, since Li Chengwu said he couldn't do it
If something happened, then the Qingtian County boy's cultivation level would naturally be higher.
After thinking about it, Li Zexi nodded, a smile finally appeared on his face, and praised: "You did a good job this time. When that kid goes into the ring, you can bet more on him."
It was rare to receive praise from his father. Li Chengwu was also happy and proud. After that, he tentatively said: "Dad, I think that boy is younger than Yu Xiandeng. With such a cultivation level, could he also be a general?"
"so what?"
Li Zexi was in a good mood and said: "Our country, Yong, is very long. There are as many generals as dogs and dolphins in the past dynasties. Those generals' children can easily catch a lot of them on the ground. It is not unusual to meet one or two generals' children in the army."
Li Chengwu nodded and said: "But I heard that Yu Xiandeng's father is the Xuangjie Colonel of the Qingshui County Army. Since he is a brother to that boy, the boy's family background may not be simple. I am afraid that if the boy dies in the future,
In the ghost arena, it will cause trouble for dad."
"trouble?"
Li Zexi smiled coldly and said: "No matter how prominent your family background is, they are just people from a border town. Compared with the adults behind Yuhua Pavilion, they are like ants. We only work for those adults, why do we need to worry so much?
"
"I understand, Dad!"
Li Chengwu chuckled, recalling the look on Lei Xingkong's face when he pulled Yu Xiandeng out of the alley today, and he felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart.
…
Back in the inn, Lei Xingkong thought for a moment alone, then took some things in his bag and went out.
Before, after eating at a refreshment stall, Yu Xiandeng took him to visit several lively places of interest in the capital.
Along the way, Yu Xiandeng said a lot. Lei Xingkong just smiled and rarely said a word, but he could hear clearly. Yu Xiandeng's words could be summed up in one sentence: "Don't go fight ghosts!"
In the end, Yu Xiandeng had no choice but to return to camp, while Lei Xingkong returned to the inn.
After leaving the room, Lei Xingkong found Zhou Xiaozhi and took her to a secluded pavilion in the inn.
The two sat down.
Zhou Xiaozhi asked: "Brother, what's the matter with you?"
Lei Xingkong looked at the little girl, thought for a moment, and asked with a cold face: "Am I your brother?"
The little girl was startled for a moment, then nodded vigorously and replied: "Yes!"
Lei Xingkong asked again: "Are you my sister?"
The little girl nodded harder and answered: "Yes!"
After a pause, the little girl asked again: "Brother, what's the matter with you? Tell me quickly. I'm a little scared when you talk like this!"
Lei Xingkong took out the small box containing the Leopard Fetal Pill from his arms and handed it to the little girl: "This is bought for my mother. After a while, your father and you will return to Qingshui County with the caravan. Now, I will
I'll leave this to you, and you can help me take it back to my mother, okay?"
The little girl took the small box, looked at it for a few times, suddenly raised her head, and asked Lei Xingkong: "Brother, this is an elixir worth three hundred and forty gold baht, you... you give it to me... I
…”
Lei Xingkong smiled slightly, and before the little girl could finish her words, he interrupted: "I am your brother, and you are my sister. I believe in you!"
The little girl touched the small box, with a trace of determination on her face, and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the elixir to your mother."
"Okay, put your things away so no one can see them."
Lei Xingkong touched the little girl's head with satisfaction. After the little girl put the things away, he took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl took the bag, but before opening it, she asked doubtfully: "Brother, what is this?"
Lei Xingkong said harmoniously: "There are fifty gold bahts here, which are for your father and you."
"ah?"
The little girl froze for a moment, then hurriedly handed the small bag back to Lei Xingkong: "Brother, this... I can't have this!"
Lei Xingkong held down the little girl's hand and said with a smile: "Last time, your father was extorted from Jin Hongwu's savings for many years, do you remember? This money was collected from the bandits that night at Luohu Mountain.
Think of it as helping Jin Hongwu repay your father's money."
The little girl thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, brother, this money belongs to you and has nothing to do with my father. I...I can't take it!"
Lei Xingkong took the money bag and stuffed it directly into the little girl's pocket, saying, "Just take it if I give it to you!" With a slight smile, he lowered his voice and said, "Originally, I should have given this money to your father, but Zhou
Uncle, he was born in the army, and he is bold and generous in spending money. I am afraid that if the money is given to him, he will use it to help others within a few days. It is better to give it to you... Well, driving a car is too dangerous. You and Zhou
After my uncle returned to Qingshui County, he advised him not to do it anymore and to buy some land to spend his old age in peace!"
The little girl had been with Lei Xingkong for a long time, so she naturally knew what Lei Xingkong was like. After hearing what Lei Xingkong said, she stopped trying to push back. She stood up and said with tears in her beautiful little eyes.
: "Brother, you are so kind. I would like to thank you on behalf of my father!"
After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lei Xingkong.
Lei Xingkong grabbed the little girl and said displeasedly: "Don't let me lose my life. I'll just go back to Qingshui County and help my brother to visit my mother more often."
Lei Xingkong originally just said it as a joke, but when the little girl heard this, she said seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely treat my mother-in-law as my own mother."
Lei Xingkong didn't take the little girl's words too seriously. He just smiled and nodded: "That's good, she is indeed my sister."
