"You are you, she is her, you all have your strengths, you don't have to compare. ”

Lu Ping'an said.

Hu Lingdao: "But even if I don't compare, from a factual point of view, there will always be a distinction between superior and inferior, her cultivation talent and cultivation realm are higher than mine, and she is a star and a half high, she can go to the snow field with you, which shows that her combat strength is also very strong, it is said that she is also beautiful like a fairy, and her temperament is out of the ordinary......"

Before Hu Ling finished speaking, Lu Ping'an interrupted: "Have you heard a lot of gossip?"

Hu Ling nodded calmly and said, "That's right, but I don't believe in those rumors about you and her, I just want to hear you tell me the truth in person." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was a little unbearable, but he knew that if he didn't make things clear now, it would only bring more harm to Hu Ling in the future.

After being silent for a moment, Lu Ping'an said: "I don't know what happened outside, but in fact, the relationship between me and her is very good, but it is not good to that extent." ”

Hu Lingdao: "To what extent?"

Lu Ping'an said: "It is the degree of forming a Taoist couple." ”

Hu Ling's face changed slightly, she didn't hear Lu Ping'an's total denial, she just said that it hadn't reached a certain level, which in itself was enough to explain the problem.

"That means you're more than friends with her, right?"

Hu Ling looked directly into Lu Ping'an's eyes and asked.

Lu Ping'an did not avoid Hu Ling's eyes and said, "Yes, I'm sorry." ”

Hu Ling's nose was slightly sour, and her eyes were faintly swollen, as if something was about to pour out, but she finally held back, and after being quiet for a while, she said, "It seems...... I still can't compare to her. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "You misunderstood, I didn't choose her." ”

Hu Ling was stunned and said puzzledly: "Then what do you mean ......?"

Lu Ping'an said: "I admit it, I like her, but at the same time I also like you, I know this is a very bastard statement, but this is the truth, and I don't want the two of you to get hurt, so I decided to be alone and not to form a Taoist relationship with any of you." ”

Hu Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you think that in this way, we won't be injured?"

Lu Ping'an said: "Of course not, but something has happened, and I have no choice, this decision, at least for the three of us, is more appropriate." ”

Hu Lingdao: "Then did you tell her about it?"

Lu Ping'an nodded and said, "On the way back from the snow field, I have already told her." ”

Hu Ling asked, "What was her reaction at that time?"

Lu Ping'an said: "She said that she can accept it, and she will still interact with me as a friend in the future." ”

Hu Ling said in a calm tone: "But...... I can't accept it, and I won't forgive you. ”

Lu Ping'an was a little surprised by this, and immediately said, "That's right, I shouldn't have asked for your forgiveness." ”

Hu Lingdao: "If you really decide to be alone in this life, then I will make you feel guilty for this matter for the rest of your life, who made you feel sorry for me?"

When encountering this kind of thing, Hu Ling was not angry, but just gave Lu Ping'an a "curse" in a girl-like tone.

But the more this is the case, the more guilty Lu Ping'an becomes, and said: "Yes, this is what I should bear, even if you hate me forever and hate me, I deserve it, and I deserve it." ”

Hu Ling said: "Perhaps, this is fate." Actually, if you had won the title of the Amphibious Society, I might have married you willingly, but God made people happen, and so many unexpected things happened......"

Lu Ping'an said: "It's a pity that I became a half-hearted man. ”

Hu Ling smiled and said, "Yes, if I had known that you were such a person, I shouldn't have anything to do with you, but there is no way, I still fell into this bad fate and couldn't extricate myself." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "It's all my fault." ”

"You don't have to say this kind of thing anymore, I'll digest this matter well, I'll go back first, and take my leave. ”

After Hu Ling finished speaking softly, he turned around and walked out of the small pavilion, and then slowly left the garden.

The petite back looks quite lonely and sad.

Lu Ping'an sighed, he was also very helpless about this, but he knew that he couldn't go over to comfort Hu Ling, if so, it would only make things worse.

And at this moment, Lu Ping'an sensed that another person had walked into the garden.

"Master Lu, Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study. ”

A guard with a knife walked up to Lu Ping'an and said.

"Well, I'll go. ”

After speaking, Lu Ping'an subconsciously glanced in the direction where Hu Ling left.

He never told Hu Ling about Qi Zhu and Dongyu Kingdom, because he didn't want her to worry too much.

Even if things develop later, no matter where they go, Hu Ling will always know, but Lu Ping'an still hopes that when she knows, it will be a situation where there is no need to worry.

......

As soon as Lu Ping'an walked into the imperial study, he saw that Wei Guogong had returned.

In addition, Luo Yi also came over from Feiyuwei, but he didn't see Xue Chengwu, he wanted to deal with his family's affairs, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time and energy.

Lu Ping'an stepped forward, saluted Hu Xian, and then asked, "Has Qi Zhu responded?"

Hu Xian nodded, glanced at Wei Guogong again, and said, "That's what he said." ”

Although Wei Guogong said that he was writing a letter, he didn't really need to send the letter, as long as he found the contact person of the other party, there were naturally many ways to contact Qi Zhu as quickly as possible.

At this time, Wei Guogong summoned a sound transmission magic device that looked like a small candlestick, handed it to Lu Ping'an, and said, "They said that they want me to hand this over to you personally." ”

Lu Ping'an took it and said, "This is a magic weapon that can directly talk to Qi Zhu?"

Wei Guogong said: "It should be." ”

"Okay, I'll try it then. ”

After that, Lu Ping'an tried to inject spiritual power into it, but he still seemed more cautious.

After all, this may also be a scam, in case it is a harmful magic weapon, it will also be more troublesome, and in the face of all that kind of people, you must be vigilant everywhere.

But soon, when Lu Ping'an's spiritual power flowed into it, he could be sure that this was indeed a very normal sound transmission magic weapon.

After a moment, the magic weapon trembled slightly, and it had an induction.

"Lu Ping'an, are you Lu Ping'an?"

A voice that sounded a little ostentatious came from the magic weapon.

Hu Xian, Luo Yi and the others had never seen Qi Zhu, nor had they heard him speak, so naturally they couldn't tell the difference.

But Lu Ping'an knew that this was Qi Zhu's voice, which sounded very disgusting to him.

Lu Ping'an replied: "It's me." Qi Zhudao: "Is that you?

Lu Ping'an said: "Qi Zhu, you don't pretend in front of me." ”

Qi Zhu said: "Yo, do you want to talk to me, but you dare to be so arrogant? Believe it or not, I will cut off contact now?"

Lu Ping'an said: "Is this just that I want to find you? You have done so many things secretly, don't you want to say something to me? I just returned to the Eastern Continent before, and you sent someone over to talk harshly, I think you can't wait to talk to me, right?"

Qi Zhudao: "I don't want to talk to you, but to remind you, or it can be said to threaten and intimidate you. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "If it's just like this, then that's it, but ...... That's just a grudge between you and me, why do you want to involve Cangwu Kingdom?"

When he said the second half of the sentence, Lu Ping'an's voice became much lower, and there was a faint sense of anger.

Qi Zhu said solemnly: "What you said is not right, you are a native of Cangwu Country, naturally you share the glory and disgrace with the entire Cangwu Country, you have won various honors outside, and the whole Cangwu Country will feel proud and proud, and if you make trouble outside, they will naturally take responsibility with you." Especially your family, they should be more responsible for this. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Who told me these crooked theories, that is, personal grievances, you have to rise to the height between the two countries, what is your intention?"

Qi Zhu smiled: "Hahaha...... Isn't it obvious enough that I want your whole family to die! As long as the emperor of your Cangwu Kingdom orders to behead your Lu family, I will definitely keep my promise and never raise troops to attack. ”

Lu Ping'an said in a deep voice: "If you have the ability, you will come at me and threaten my family, what kind of hero is it?"

Qi Zhudao: "It's okay to go at you, your Emperor Cangwu Kingdom executed you to Ling Chi, and I can also consider giving up, but after you die, what will happen, then I don't know." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "You are delusional!"

Qi Zhudao: "That means that you don't want to die, you don't want your family to die, and you don't want to see the Cangwu Kingdom attacked?

Lu Ping'an said: "I have a suggestion, you can consider it......"

Qi Zhudao: "What suggestion?" ”

Lu Ping'an said: "You can commit suicide, in this way, won't you be able to be quiet?"

Qi Zhu was quiet for a while, laughed instead of anger, and said, "Haha...... Lu Ping'an, you are really humorous, good, very good! I remember what you said, I hope you will not regret it in the future!"

Lu Ping'an said: "Don't talk to me about those unrealistic words, if you really want to take revenge, I'll give you a chance, let's choose a place, a fair duel, who lives and who dies, everything is based on strength." ”

Qi Zhu smiled and said: "Lu Ping'an, I didn't expect that after such a long time, you are still so naïve, I am now the king of a country, and I am one of the most powerful people in the Eastern Continent, what qualifications do you have to duel with me? Do you think everything is still the same as it was back then?"

Lu Ping'an said: "I understand, you were afraid of losing to me back then." ”

Qi Zhudao: "Afraid? The person who should be scared now is you! Back then, on the Zhengming platform, you slapped me six times, and I still remember it clearly! The matter has come to this point, you either commit suicide to apologize, or kill your entire family to calm my anger, otherwise, you will wait for the entire Cangwu country to be buried with you!"
