Just when Lou Yun was contemplating what he had done in Gongsun's main city, Chang Xiang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Boy, you have changed!"
For this eldest brother who could almost be said to have watched him grow up, Lou Yun naturally understood the meaning contained in his five simple words. He smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I have changed, but I can't stay the same."
Ah, in a world where the weak eat the strong and the strong are respected, if I don't change, I may be able to live happily alone, but my friends, the people I care about, they may not be as lucky as me.
!”
Sighing, Lou Yun continued: "Brother, in fact, I have understood these things and the principles for a long time, but I have never been able to harden my heart to do it. I didn't expect that now I can do it without any effort.
, I was thinking just now, is this a good thing or a bad thing for me?"
After a moment of silence, Chang Xiang gave his answer: "Your human emotions are too complex, but your judgments of things are also too simple. Whether it is good or bad, there is no eternal measurement standard.
If there is one thing, it is in people's hearts. If you destroy the Chang family, it is naturally a bad thing for the Chang family, but it is a great good thing for the Bai family. In short, don't think about whether it is good or bad.
As long as you have a clear conscience, that’s all!”
"Have a clear conscience!"
These four words are easy to say, but it is really difficult to do them!
Suddenly, Lou Yun stopped the contemplation on his face, smiled lightly and said: "Since Brother Gongsun is here, why don't you come in!"
There was a burst of hearty laughter outside the courtyard, and Gongsun Ran walked in: "Brother Lou is really good at hearing. I was afraid that Brother Lou was practicing, so I tried my best to walk as softly as possible. I didn't expect that Brother Lou would still hear me.
"
At this moment, Gongsun Ran's face was full of smiles and he was proud of himself. He could no longer see the anger and embarrassment he felt when he was here that night.
In response to Gongsun Ran's flattery, Lou Yun just smiled noncommittally and said: "Brother Gongsun, why do you come to me when you have time? Is there something wrong?"
Gongsun Ran suppressed his smile and said with a serious face: "I came here today. There are indeed a few things I want to discuss with Brother Lou."
Although Lou Yun does not want to have too much involvement with the Gongsun family, the Bai family will still live in Dongjun in the future, and in the short term, the Bai family will not be stronger than the Gongsun family, so he does not care about Gongsun Ran.
It’s not good to refuse directly
"Brother Gongsun will tell you bluntly if there is any problem. You should never take the word "discussion" seriously.
Gongsun Ran was not polite and said straightforwardly: "I have a great-grandson who has just turned twenty this year and is of age to get married. And I heard that there is a girl Bai Miaozhu in the Bai family who is only eighteen years old and has not yet been married, so I
I would like to ask Brother Lou to work hard, become an old man under the moon, and help me propose marriage to the Bai family. Of course, I won’t let Brother Lou’s hard work go in vain!”
Lou Yun was a little doubtful that there was something wrong with his ears. After being stunned for a long time, he finally came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Proposal?"
"Yes!" Gongsun Ran smiled slightly, pretending to be an elder who was worried about his descendants and said: "Yue'er is my most beloved great-grandson. Naturally, I have to personally take care of his marriage. I picked him.
After selecting them, I finally felt that only Miss Bai Miaozhu was a good match for him, so I had no choice but to shamelessly trouble Brother Lou."
In fact, Lou Yun certainly understands Gongsun Ran's thoughts. When he was in Binglingxing, he had seen such family marriages. However, it usually happened between two families with almost the same power, and the Gongsun family's
The power is obviously stronger than that of the Bai family. The reason why Gongsun Ran wants to do this is actually very simple, just to win over himself!
Although Lou Yun is a little disgusted with this kind of thing, but on second thought, if the Bai family can really become in-laws with the Gongsun family, then the safety of the Bai family will have another guarantee, which is definitely a good thing for the Bai family.
I just don’t know if Miss Bai Miaozhu is willing to
At this time, Bai Yichen just finished his training. When he opened his eyes and saw the two people standing in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be shocked. These are the two strongest people in East County today, and they were chatting happily together.
, if this scene were told, probably not many people would believe it!
Lou Yun waved to Bai Yichen, motioning for him to come over, and asked: "Yichen, is there a girl named Bai Miaozhu in your Bai family?"
Bai Yichen was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Miaozhu is my biological sister!"
"Oh!" Lou Yun nodded, and he knew more clearly. No wonder Gongsun Ran came to propose marriage for his great-grandson in person. It turned out that the person proposing marriage was actually Bai Yichen's biological sister!
So Lou Yun simply expressed Gongsun Ran's thoughts: "Yi Chen, go talk to your father first and ask for his opinion. I will come back later!"
In fact, Lou Yun doesn't need to ask the Bai family for their opinion at all. He believes that once the Bai family knows the news, the whole family will definitely support it! But in any case, since Miaozhu is Bai Fanmao's daughter, it is natural to ask him
Agreed!
After being stunned for a long time, Bai Yichen finally came to his senses, nodded, and left in a hurry
Lou Yun looked at Gongsun Ran and smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Gongsun, if both children agree to this matter, then I will naturally be happy to be a matchmaker. Does Brother Gongsun have anything else to do?"
"The second thing is of course the martial arts competition that will be held in ten days. I would like to invite Brother Lou and me to go together and serve as judges!"
If it were normal, Gongsun Ran would never be interested in serving as a judge for this kind of martial arts competition. After all, he believed that as long as he did not die, the status of the Gongsun family in Dongjun would not change. As for the Bai family and Xu
He doesn't care about how the family is fought over or who will win in the competition!
But this time the Bai family has Lou Yun, the guest elder, attending. In order to please Lou Yun, he went there in person at all costs!
However, Lou Yun's face showed a half-smile expression: "It turns out that Brother Gongsun is the judge of this competition. Then I have to trouble Brother Gongsun to show mercy!"
"It's easy to talk!" Gongsun Ran said casually, but the next second his expression suddenly solidified, and he looked at Lou Yun with wide eyes and said: "Brother Lou, are you also going to participate in this martial arts competition?
?”
Lou Yun spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is there a rule that says that the elder Keqing cannot participate in the martial arts competition?"
"This..." Gongsun Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course not, but Brother Lou, if you participate in the martial arts competition, then other people don't have to participate at all. In the entire East County, there is no one who can be your opponent!
"
Lou Yun laughed and said: "Brother Gongsun, you can't say that. You have to know that there are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains!"
Although Gongsun Ran also played haha with Lou Yun, and nodded repeatedly, echoing his words: "Brother Lou said it, Brother Lou said it!" But in his heart, he couldn't help but murmur.
Well, I was born and raised in Dongjun. Although there may be people in other places who are better than you, Lou Yun, there is absolutely no one in Dongjun who is more powerful than you!
After laughing, Lou Yun looked at Gongsun Ran and said, "Brother Gongsun, do you have anything else to do with me this time?"
"there is none left!"
"Okay! If there is nothing wrong with Brother Gongsun, then I just have something I would like to ask Brother Gongsun for advice."
Gongsun Ran was worried that he would not be able to get closer to Lou Yun. Now when he heard his words, he naturally smiled and said: "I don't dare to ask for advice, but whatever I know, I will definitely tell you everything. Brother Lou
Don’t worry, you’ve said it.”
Lou Yun looked around and said, "Brother Gongsun, this is not a place for conversation. Why don't we change places!"
In fact, with the strength of Lou Yun and Gongsun Ran, it is impossible for anyone in Gongsun's main city to get close to them without being discovered by them. Lou Yun's approach is just to show off to Gongsun.
Ran said that what he was going to say next was confidential, so it was better to be cautious!
Gongsun Ran was also quite excited because he had also thought of this, and since Lou Yun was even willing to tell him confidential things, wouldn't it mean that his relationship with Lou Yun was getting closer and closer!
So Gongsun Ran nodded and said: "If Brother Lou doesn't mind, why don't you go to my residence, it should be quieter there and you won't be disturbed by others."
"good!"
So under the leadership of Gongsun Ran, the two took out their own spiritual soldiers and flew to the top of Huafeng Mountain.
Although Gongsun Ran's character and behavior are not very good, the place where he lives is very simple, without any luxury, which can't help but change Lou Yun's perception of him.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire main city of Gongsun. Naturally, there will not be any other people nearby to disturb you.
Gongsun Ran did not rush Lou Yun and let him watch the scenery until Lou Yun turned around and said: "Brother Gongsun, it's a coincidence that I also have two things I want to ask you about."
"Brother Lou, it doesn't matter if you say it!"
"The first thing is that I have a few good friends that I have lost contact with for a while. Now I want to find them, but the Shenbing Planet is really too big. I don't know where they are now. Even if I want to find them,
I have no clue and no way to start, I wonder if Brother Gongsun has any good suggestions?"
In fact, the two things Lou Yun wanted to ask Gongsun Ran for advice were the things that troubled him the most at the moment, and he really didn't know how to proceed. He thought that since Gongsun Ran was the strongest person in Dongjun, he might be able to help himself.
It’s okay to provide a little help, even to give myself a little clue, so I asked with the attitude of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but what Lou Yun didn’t expect was that Gongsun Ran really gave him an unexpected surprise.
, I saw him with a calm smile on his face, nodded and said: "Does Brother Lou know the faces and names of your friends?"
"Of course I know this, but they are not famous people."
Gongsun Ran laughed loudly and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you have a name, it will be easy to handle, but hasn't Brother Lou heard of the Ghost Gate?"
