Chapter 317: Lobbying
"Hehe, I'm just here to see how frustrated the most outstanding spell master can be after the Li family and even the entire young generation in the Southern Continent can be frustrated!"
Zhu Shuai smiled lightly, didn't care about Li Xuan on the side, and walked straight into Li Xuan's room.
Li Xuan's room is very tidy, and all the items are placed in a neat and orderly manner.
The materials for refining the talisman were also sorted out by type and placed on the surrounding wooden shelves.
The whole room looks very neat, without a trace of sloppiness, and it doesn't look like a boy's room.
It seems that Li Xuan is usually very strict with himself.
It is normal to be able to be so self-disciplined in daily life, and the level of Li Xuan's talisman refining is so high.
"Haha, sure enough, they came to see my jokes. β
"However, you are the victor now, you can show off your power in front of me, I am speechless!"
"It's because I'm not as good as others, how you want to humiliate me, whatever!"
Li Xuan simply sat down on the wooden chair next to him, and his eyes stayed on Zhu Shuai's body.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became a little tense, and Li Qi and Morey were the first to leave, leaving only Zhu Shuai and Li Xuan.
"Yes, I won you, of course I can do whatever I want in front of you. β
"However, I'm not here to mock you. β
"I just wanted to talk to you. β
Zhu Shuai also sat down opposite Li Xuan.
"Talk to me, what do we two have to talk about?"
Li Xuan laughed disdainfully.
"Oh, there's nothing to talk about?
Zhu Shuai stood up and pretended to leave.
"Okay, sit down, my father, they're looking for you to be a lobbyist! Sit down with me, or you'll explain to them when you go back." β
Li Xuan still looked indifferent.
"You guessed this wrong, I came to you, I took the initiative to ask for you, and your father didn't even want me to come to you. β
"Also, I came to you, why can't I even drink tea. β
Zhu Shuai smiled slightly and sat back down.
"Hehe, your request is really a lot. β
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? My skill level is not as high as yours, and we don't have anything to communicate with in this regard. β
Li Xuan stood up and said while making tea for Zhu Shuai.
"Let's not talk about the talisman making thing, let's talk about our respective lives!"
Zhu Shuai took the tea handed over by Li Xuan and said slowly.
"What's there to talk about in life, isn't that what happens every day?"
Li Xuan said with some surprise.
"Hehe, maybe for you, every day is the same law. β
"Learn how to make talismans, identify materials, and stay with your family, right?"
Zhu Shuai tilted his head and looked at Li Xuan.
"Not exactly, but that's pretty much it, aren't you?"
Li Xuan himself also took a cup of tea and tasted it, as if he had forgotten about yesterday's events.
"Hehe, my life can be said to be very exciting, do you want to hear it?"
Zhu Shuai's body leaned forward slightly, looking at Li Xuan with anticipation.
"Okay, you come and hear it!"
Li Xuan showed an old-fashioned look.
"For most people, they have lived happily with their families for as long as they can remember. β
"Especially for the son-in-law of a big family like you, it is even more carefree, and even your own future is considered by your parents. β
"But I'm different, I haven't seen my mother since I was a child, and even in my cultivation, I don't have a qualified teacher to check for me. β
"Until I was fifteen years old, I was still at the level of the power of the four stages of wood because I hadn't solved the problem of the five elements in my body. β
Zhu Shuai squinted his eyes lightly and slowly recalled.
"How is it possible, you lied to me, fifteen years old is still the power of four duanmu trees, how can eighteen years old reach your current height!"
Li Xuan screamed in disbelief.
"Hehe, listen to me slowly!"
Zhu Shuai drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, and all the things that have happened in the past three years have been told one by one.
First, his father was killed, trapped in the Canyon of the Fallen God, and became a fire slave of the Netherworld Ghost Fire.
He followed the instructions of his father's life card and entered the Meteorite Canyon to find his father's whereabouts, and met his teacher, the Wood Sage.
Under the Wood Sage*, his own strength finally began to improve.
Immediately afterwards, he found the Netherfire alone, endured severe pain, and subdued the Netherfire as his own fire spirit, and successfully rescued his father.
After returning to Hideki City, he almost single-handedly eradicated the enemy's wolf mercenary group.
Next, on the way to Zhu's house, with the strength of a mage, he killed the mage Blood Demon.
He also entered the Kailuo Academy with excellent results, and after creating a series of college records, he obtained the Colorful Phantom Spirit in the Academy, and also obtained the Purple Gilt of the Gold Elemental Spirit.
Immediately afterwards, destroy the Han family and make enemies of the Liang family.
In order to find a powerful helper for yourself, go deep into the Heavenly Tomb Mountain Range and subdue the dust of annihilation.
Finally, with continuous efforts, he successfully avenged his mother, teacher and others and wiped out the Liang family.
Later, he was far away from his hometown and came to the unfamiliar southern continent to find his mother.
Along the way, the dangers Zhu Shuai encountered and the pain he experienced were few people could endure.
Such an experience, put on other people's bodies, may already be a microcosm of a lifetime, but Zhu Shuai only took three years to experience all these things once.
Especially Li Xuan, who has been carefree since childhood, can't imagine what Zhu Shuai has experienced over the years.
"What you say, is it true?"
Zhu Shuai took an hour to roughly tell his experience over the years.
Of course, Zhu Shuai has not yet told about the glazed jade pendant left by his mother, as well as the mermaid clan.
Even so, after Li Xuan listened, he still looked at Zhu Shuai with disbelief on his face, such an experience is not at all like what an eighteen-year-old child can experience.
"Of course, do you think I can make up these things?"
Zhu Shuai just smiled faintly.
"I can't believe that your life has so many ups and downs!"
Li Xuan still said with some palpitations.
"No! that's the difference between the two of us!"
"You think my life is full of ups and downs, full of tribulations. β
"However, I think that my life is full of wonderful, and all these things I have experienced are all tempered by God. β
"To be honest, in life, it is inevitable that you will encounter unsatisfactory things, depending on how you look at the things you encounter. β
"Just like the two of us yesterday's competition, since it is a competition, there will definitely be winners and losers. β
"It just so happens that when you lose, you feel that you can't accept it, that you are a failure. β
"You don't dare to face this fact at all, and after losing, instead of thinking about how to improve yourself, you don't learn anything from failure, but you lock yourself in your room and feel sorry for yourself. β
"Do you think there is anything you can do with this behavior?"
After talking a long circle, Zhu Shuai finally returned to the topic.
"Ugh!"
Li Xuan originally listened to Zhu Shuai's story with relish, but he didn't expect Zhu Shuai to return here in the end.
However, after listening to Zhu Shuai's previous events, Li Xuan suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It seems that losing to Zhu Shuai in yesterday's competition is not a big deal.
Since the end of yesterday's competition, Li Xuan has been locking himself in the room, making himself uncomfortable, and no one wants to deal with anyone.
He even had the idea of giving up continuing to learn to refine talismans, as if all his efforts were in vain, and he was simply a clown in the eyes of others.
But Zhu Shuai just briefly told himself some of his deeds, and finally returned to this issue, Li Xuan instantly felt that his discomfort was completely unnecessary.
Compared with Zhu Shuai, the blow he suffered is not worth mentioning at all!
"Now that you think about it, don't you think your previous behavior was a little naΓ―ve and a little unworthy?"
Looking at Li Xuan's surprised expression, Zhu Shuai said with a smile.
"You're right! After listening to your words, I suddenly thought about it, thank you, Zhu Shuai!"
Li Xuan stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his palm towards Zhu Shuai.
"Haha, it's okay, to be honest, you're the best spell master I've ever seen, the youngest generation, I just don't want to let the Bright Continent lose such a genius because of an inconsequential competition!"
Zhu Shuai also stretched out his palm.
"Hmph! You also say that I am a genius, you are a genius, by the way, yesterday your high-temperature fusion method, and the technology of refining more than a dozen materials at the same time, do you have any tricks?"
Li Xuan suddenly put his arm on Zhu Shuai's shoulder.
"Trick, of course, what, you want to learn?"
The corners of Zhu Shuai's mouth rose slightly.
"Don't you have a lot of skills, besides, those two techniques are really cool, it depends on whether you are willing to share them with me!"
Li Xuan looked very familiar with Zhu Shuai.
"You can learn if you want to, but it depends on whether you have the talent to understand!"
"What are you kidding, in the entire Southern Continent, I am the most outstanding young spell master, there is something I can't understand!"
"Okay, then let's find a place to compare now!"
Zhu Shuai and Li Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the distance with each other's shoulders hooked.
After the two left, Morey and Li Qi poked their heads out from behind a wall on the side.
"The two of them didn't even fight?"
"It looks like Young Master Li Xuan is fine?"
"Damn! How can this Zhu Shuai be so capable, he can handle anything!"
"I'd better go back and report to the patriarch!"
Morey and Li Qi looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and each sighed.
