Chapter 344: Routine

On July 2, more than half a year after coming to the Second War Zone, Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng received a dismissal order from the General Headquarters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng naturally wanted to return to Pengcheng when they left the second war zone, of course, before that, Xu Xingkong also wanted to go home 'by the way'.

There is also a question of where Lu Wuxiang went, according to Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng's thoughts, of course, they wanted to take her to Pengcheng, but this had to be discussed with the Lu family, and after experiencing this near-death incident, Xu Xingkong had a very important question in his heart that needed to be asked to Lu Lingxuan, so after the group took the military plane to Chuncheng, they borrowed a car and went straight to Lujiazhai.

For the arrival of Xu Lin and the others, the Lu family attached great importance to it, and even put on a big show according to the ancient rules, and specially invited some sect families in Spring City, as well as some well-known neutral demon clans to watch the ceremony, Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng were not very good, but Lu Wuxiang felt very ashamed when he saw this, and his mood was not high during the whole process.

In fact, Lu Lingxuan's approach is understandable, she just wants to hug Xu Xingkong's big tree, after all, it is really rare for a cultivator like Xu Xingkong to reach the distraction period at a young age, and it would be really stupid if such a talented Lu family couldn't grasp it.

In Xu Xingkong's view, Lu Lingxuan just put on a big scene to convey the intimate relationship between the Lu family and Xu Xingkong, and did not announce in public that she would recruit Xu Xingkong as the son-in-law of the Lu family, she was already very rational and restrained, of course, if she really announced it, it might only backfire.

The people in the rivers and lakes are particular about supporting each other, since Lu Lingxuan threw himself into a peach, Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng of course had to repay him, and the whole scene was still very lively and harmonious except for the thin-skinned Lu Wuxiang.

The night was dark, and the people were scattered at the end of the song, Lu Wuxiang took Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng to walk up the stairs in the bright moonlight to visit Lu Lingxuan, who left the field first.

After the illusory liveliness, Lujiazhai quickly returned to quiet, and the cottage lights under a round of bright moon were lit, which seemed particularly quiet, except for the footsteps of the three people stepping on the stone steps of falling leaves, only the occasional sound of birds and beasts chirping from the mountain.

The three of them turned around a low wall, just in time to see a white-haired old man sitting on the bluestone slab at the entrance of a small courtyard to cool off, and the old man who was looking up at the moonlight heard the footsteps and turned his head to see that an old face was like an ancient tree.

"Aunt Jiu, what about the cool?"

"Xiaoxiang, are these two today's distinguished guests?"

"Yes, I'll take Brother Xu and Sister Feng to see the patriarch."

"Forgive me for my physical inconvenience and can't pay a full salute, and the two distinguished guests are fine."

"Old... The seniors are polite, so you don't have to be polite. ā€

Xu Xingkong was a little stunned in his heart, almost using the wrong name, and after a vague salute, the old man smiled and continued to look at the moon, and didn't seem to have the idea of talking to Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng.

Lu Wuxiang looked at the old man a little timidly, then gently tugged at the corner of Lin Xiaofeng's clothes, and the three of them left along the path.

After walking a long way, Xu Xingkong asked in a curious whisper:

"Wuxiang, that's your ninth aunt? I think your mom was supposed to be four, right? ā€

"Yes, my ninth aunt is actually only thirty-five years old this year."

Xu Xingkong was stunned for a moment, but then he was relieved, anything strange can happen in this circle, so there are countless possible reasons why a woman in her thirties becomes an old man who is dying, and presumably the ninth aunt also has a reason.

Xu Xingkong's curiosity was extinguished, but Lin Xiaofeng suddenly asked:

"Wuxiang, did your ninth aunt use a stand-in technique?"

Lu Wuxiang's face turned pale, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, she subconsciously approached Lin Xiaofeng, and then whispered in a nasal voice:

"Well, Aunt Jiu's spell was cast by someone else's life-killing spell, and after using the stand-in technique, she aged rapidly, a month ago, her hair was still gray, but now... My mother said that for Aunt Jiu, her day now is like a month for us. ā€

Xu Xingkong frowned and didn't say anything, this kind of thing is fate for the women of the Lu family, it just depends on whose luck is bad and the worst ending is on the table.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled softly, reached out and patted the back of Lu Wuxiang's hand and said:

"Since you don't like this fate, you can only work hard to change it."

Lu Wuxiang's face turned pale, secretly clenched his fists, nodded solemnly, and walked a few steps, Lu Wuxiang suddenly looked up at Xu Xingkong and said resolutely:

"Brother Xu, I'm going to Pengcheng with you."

Xu Xingkong turned his head and smiled:

"Of course, what else are we doing here?"

Lin Xiaofeng also smiled and nodded, and the serious look on Lu Wuxiang's face suddenly receded, replaced by a look of joy and longing.

"Well, follow Brother Xu and Sister Feng, I think I will definitely find a way to change this fate, definitely."

.....

Lu Lingxuan seems to be in a good mood today, of course, she has always been in a good mood, at least from her face.

Lu Lingxuan watched Lu Wuxiang retreat cautiously, and pointed to the teacup in front of Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng with a smile and said:

"Drink tea."

"Or is it the kind of camellia?"

Xu Xingkong asked a little playfully, and Lu Lingxuan smiled and said:

"Could it be that because your strength has improved, the old body is going to prepare high-grade tea for you?"

Xu Xingkong also laughed, a joke that was not light or heavy, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly much more harmonious.

In the seemingly joking words of the two, they conveyed their respective attitudes, which eliminated a lot of scruples on both sides, Xu Xingkong took the tea and frowned and took a sip, feeling that he still couldn't like this rough taste, so he pushed the teacup away a little, looked at Lu Lingxuan and said:

"Senior, you must have guessed the meaning of our coming."

"You're for the sake of the unscented girl, right? Of course, the old body also hopes that she can follow you to Pengcheng, which is a good thing, however, the old body still has a few questions, I hope Mr. Xu can tell you, of course, this is not a prerequisite. ā€

Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng glanced at each other and smiled:

"Senior, please speak."

Lu Lingxuan restrained her smile and said:

"Miss Lin, may I ask why you didn't let Wuxiang use the stand-in technique in that situation?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Lu Lingxuan calmly and said:

"When there is another way, I certainly don't want Muxiang to use the stand-in technique, it's not because we don't want to be responsible for Wuxiang, but I don't want Wuxiang's path to be just that."

Lu Lingxuan looked at Lin Xiaofeng deeply, Lin Xiaofeng looked at him calmly, Xu Xingkong coughed when he saw this:

"That's... In fact, Wuxiang has already used a stand-in technique. ā€

Lu Lingxuan and Lin Xiaofeng were taken aback, Lin Xiaofeng looked at Xu Xingkong suspiciously, but she immediately figured out why Xu Xingkong wanted to hide this from herself, a knowing smile flashed in her eyes, Xu Xingkong's heart warmed when she saw this, she smiled at Lin Xiaofeng, and then turned to Lu Lingxuan, who was full of doubts and shock.

Lu Lingxuan looked at Xu Xingkong and said:

"It's... How is this possible? After using the stand-in technique, how could the state of Wuxiang's girl be so good, the old body heard that your state at that time was..."

Xu Xingkong sighed and said:

"She did use it, if I'm not mistaken, the deer family's stand-in technique should be a talent, not some secret method, right?"

Lu Lingxuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed and nodded:

"Yes, I still can't hide it from you, the stand-in technique is indeed a talent, as for the previous secret method, it is just a preparation process, and the stand-in technique does not have any spell characteristics when it is cast, it is completely a change at the soul level, therefore, the stand-in technique is not so much a spell as a witchcraft."

Xu Xingkong nodded and said:

"I guess so, because it's sacrificial witchcraft, it's your soul and life that you're sacrificing, right?"

"What is sacrificed is part of the virtual soul and life, our Lu family is a demon clan, and the life is originally very long, but after using the stand-in technique, our life is not even as good as that of ordinary people."

Lin Xiaofeng suddenly interjected in a cold voice:

"We just saw that."

Lu Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said:

"Today the moon is full, you see the nine girls, right? She loves to look at the moon because... The people she likes also like to look at the moon, just... Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all fate. ā€

After that, Lu Lingxuan looked at Xu Xingkong with extremely complicated eyes, hesitating whether to open this mouth, but Xu Xingkong said first without waiting for her to ask:

"Senior, I did help Wuxiang strengthen her Yuan Shen Soul, but this method doesn't have the strength of the middle stage of distraction, don't even think about it, not to mention, this method involves the interests of the human race, you also know how troublesome this matter will be. However, this matter is not impossible to discuss, and we can talk about specific matters slowly. In fact, we took Wuxiang away with this consideration, if Wuxiang can solve the problem of the Lu family by himself in the future, wouldn't it be better? ā€

Lu Lingxuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and then she looked at Xu Lin and the others in confusion, and hesitated for a moment before asking:

"So, what do we have to give? Is the secret method of the deer family? Or something else? ā€

"Although the secret method of the Lu family is precious, it is not enough, and besides, I am not interested in the secret method of the Lu family now."

Xu Xingkong shook his head with a smile, Lu Lingxuan frowned, then took a deep breath, stabilized his somewhat shaken mind, changed to his signature smile, leaned back and slowed down his speech:

"Mr. Xu, please say, let the old body weigh it."

Xu Xingkong nodded appreciatively and said:

"I'm not in a hurry about this, and I can't give my seniors any answer right away."

Lu Lingxuan nodded and said that he understood, this matter was very involved, and it was estimated that Yushan Yuzhai would have to have an opinion first.

Xu Xingkong smiled and continued:

"I still have two questions I want to ask my seniors here, did my seniors know about the Iron Wire Gu King beforehand? Also, have the seniors been in contact with the predecessors of Yousu during this time? ā€

Lu Lingxuan smiled slightly, and was about to shake her head to deny it, but Xu Xingkong grinned evilly, Lin Xiaofeng also glanced at Lu Lingxuan with her cold eyes, Lu Lingxuan felt a pang in her heart, swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that her hesitation was equivalent to telling Xu Xingkong that she knew the answers to these two questions.

Lu Lingxuan smiled bitterly and looked up at the two young people in front of him, these two people were so good that they would make them jealous. Fortunately, they have no conflict with the Lu family, and even, they have deep feelings for the Lu family, no, the girl Lu Wuxiang.

"It seems that the old body is really old, well, you have all guessed that this matter was originally arranged by Senior Su, but this was not what she told the old body, but the old body inferred from her arrangement. I guess Senior Su will definitely not ask the Iron Thread Gu King to deal with the two, she should have only known in advance, or secretly influenced the Shanju family before, or maybe behind the conflict between you and the Shanjun family, there is also the shadow of Senior Su, of course, this is all speculation, the specific situation is not clear to the old body, and Senior Su just told the old body to prepare the best girl for you. ā€

It seems that Lu Lingxuan is broken and broken, and he actually said such explosive news, although Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng had guessed before, they were still stunned by Lu Lingxuan's news for a moment. (To be continued.) )
