Chapter Eighty-Six: The City Lord's Visit
Suddenly, the girl glanced at Lu Qingchen who was watching the battle, and saw that his appearance was three points close to Lu Cangliu, and her slender eyebrows shrugged: "You are Lu Qingchen's cousin?" β
Lu Cangliu immediately beckoned to Lu Qingchen and introduced with a smile: "Qingchen, come and meet your uncle's cousin, Ye Lanqing." β
Out of politeness, Lu Qingchen bowed: "Hello." β
The corners of Ye Lanqing's mouth were lightly pursed into a thin slit, standing in the martial arts arena, looking at him condescendingly: "I don't have a big ability, I don't have a small temper, I know that I am coming, but I don't see it!" β
Luminous City and Lonely Boat City are far apart, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth, plus waiting for Lu Qingchen for half a month, it is indeed a waste of her precious cultivation time.
As for Lu Qingchen, he is good, he knew that she was coming, but he avoided her.
If it weren't for Lu Jian's leakage, I'm afraid she would still be in the dark, and I really thought that Lu Qingchen was still cultivating outside and hadn't returned.
The resentment in his heart can be imagined.
"You don't have to come." Lu Qingchen didn't like his cousin's attitude of looking down on people in his bones.
"I don't know what to do!" Ye Lan Qingxiu willow eyebrows were slightly raised.
Lu Qingchen looked at him coldly and asked his father: "My father asked the housekeeper to find me, just to accompany this cousin?" If this is the case, the child should still go back to the south of the city to cultivate, and there is no need to waste time for her. β
He already disliked his grandfather's family, and his cousin was domineering, so he didn't want to intersect with him.
The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and that's it.
"Lu Qingchen! Hello excessive! Ye Lanqing's face was slightly red with anger: "Do you think I want to come?" Grandpa forced me to confirm your strength! β
The more she spoke, the more angry she became: "Anyway, if you break the Lu Mansion, I can't stay for a long time, since you are here, it's just right, stage the martial arts, I'll try your strength, I'll leave immediately after trying, and never come to your Lu Mansion again!" β
Lu Qingchen raised his eyebrows, he has never liked to compete with others, especially if the other party's strength is too weak.
"You don't have to, you're not my opponent, now you can go."
"Qingchen, how do you talk to your cousin?" Lu Cangliu walked over and scolded.
Subsequently, he said to Ye Lanqing: "Qingqing, Qingchen is still young, you are a sister, forgive me." β
Ye Lanqing sneered: "It's really ignorant to be able to say that I'm not his opponent!" Me too, I'm actually angry with a little hairy kid like you who is not yet mentally mature! β
Thinking about it like this, her mind is much clearer.
"Since you don't want me to try, then use your martial arts and martial qi yourself, and I will make an objective evaluation." Ye Lanqing took a step back.
Lu Qingchen shook his head, only to feel unreasonable.
"Father, I'll go back to the south of the city to cultivate."
Lu Cangliu knew that his son had no good impression of his grandfather's family, so he didn't force it, and said: "Since you are back, let's stay for a day or two before leaving, just when dinner is about to start, Qingqing has brought a lot of ingredients full of essence from Yeming City, you can also taste it?" β
At the same time, he gave Ye Lanqing a look.
Ye Lanqing understood in his heart, what Lu Cangliu meant was that he would personally find an opportunity for Lu Qingchen to show his strength.
Although she was dissatisfied, Ye Lanqing didn't want to bother with her naΓ―ve cousin, and nodded: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there are a lot of ingredients, and it's nothing to have one more person." β
She thought to herself, from a poor background like her cousin, who probably had never tasted ingredients containing essence in her life.
It's good to open your eyes now, knowing the gap between her and him, and speaking cautiously.
"You don't have to eat dinner, there are too many impurities in those ingredients, and eating too much is not beneficial to cultivation." He is accustomed to eating Ling rice, and ordinary food is dross to him, and it is easy not to be contaminated with half a point.
Ye Lanqing rolled her eyes when she heard this, and she felt more and more that her cousin was extremely naΓ―ve.
Shaking her head, she didn't want to say a word to Lu Qingchen anymore, and said, "Then we'll eat it ourselves." β
When she walked away, Lu Qingchen took out a grain of spiritual rice and handed it to Yun'er for today's dinner.
Yun'er chirped and gnawed, muttering while gnawing: "The master is so pitiful, he is used to eating the magic fruit of the young master, and the ingredients of Miss Cousin must taste the same as chewing wax, right?" The poor old man not only forced himself to swallow, but also complimented the ingredients on deliciousness, hey! β
After getting used to Lingmi, Yun'er was not interested in any ingredients, and the delicious dishes of the past tasted dull and bitter.
Lu Cangliu has eaten more spiritual rice than her, and he must have felt it more profoundly.
"Just you talk a lot." Lu Qingchen scraped her nose.
Yun'er stuck out her tongue: "It was meant to be!" β
The two were joking, and Leng Buding walked out of the inner courtyard with a beautiful and refined shadow, but it was his cousin Lin Yuyu who heard the bell ringing and came out to eat.
Lin Yuyu's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile: "Cousin, when did you come back?" β
Lu Qingchen felt strange, how could his cousin be in the Lu Mansion?
"I just got back." Lu Qingchen said calmly.
Lin Yuyu saw Lu Qingchen's doubts and said, "Your grandfather's cousin came to Lu Mansion as a guest, and you are not in the mansion, so my uncle invited me to come over to accompany you." β
She is the same age as Ye Lanqing, and she is a girl, so it is only fitting for Lu Cangliu to invite her over.
With the company of half a moon, Lin Yuyu was in a happy mood.
The people in the house looked at her with a faint look at the future housewife, and they were very respectful.
Recently, the Lin family and the Lu Mansion have been getting closer and closer, and it is normal for people to guess that Lin Yuyu will marry Lu Qingchen.
Now it means more to invite her to accompany the guests, so people will do this.
Of course, she was even happier to see her cousin again.
After her cousin became famous, Shenlong saw the beginning and the end, either in retreat or practicing outside, and after not seeing her for a few months, she felt that her cousin was full of energy and better than before.
A heart beats.
The only thing that was in the way was the little maid beside her cousin, and she could see the intimate behavior of the two just now.
Glancing at the clouds, Lin Yuyu's joy vanished, just like when he was enjoying food, he found a disgusting insect lying inside.
"I see, cousin, let's go have dinner, I won't be together." Lu Qingchen said.
Lin Yuxuan came back to his senses and bowed his head slightly: "Okay, cousin." β
She repacked her mood and accompanied Ye Lanqing in the best state.
Half a month together, she not only eats ingredients full of essence every day, but occasionally Ye Lanqing is in a good mood, and will also guide her to cultivate, which benefits her a lot.
For Miss Bright City's daughter, Lin Yuyu has both respect and envy, so she is extremely attentive and never slack.
At the dinner table, she accompanied Ye Lanqing to finish her meal elegantly and take a walk in Lufu Garden.
"Has Miss Night seen my cousin? He's back. Lin Yuxuan said happily.
Ye Lanqing's eyes showed contempt, and said, "Why haven't you seen it?" I've seen it too! To be honest, it's better to be famous than to meet, and he is not as good as you say at all. β
In Lin Yuyu's mouth, Lu Qingchen is calm and humble, generous and polite, and excellent in all aspects.
What she saw with her own eyes was an ignorant and fearless naΓ―ve teenager.
"Huh?" Lin Yuyu was strange, but then he thought about it, maybe Ye Lanqing was well-informed and knew many better men, so he thought that his cousin was just like that, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuyu felt a trace of jealousy and grievance in his heart.
It would be nice if she also had Ye Lanqing's background, if so, her cousin might not be worth mentioning in her eyes, and it was not worth her effort to please at all.
But the reality is that her cousin is her best choice.
A trace of regret crossed the heart.
"You say, he had the strength to defeat Xiao Chen's Jiuming before May?" Ye Lanqing asked.
Lin Yuxuan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it was Li Zheng, the son of Deputy Commander Li Yan, who was defeated, and I saw it with my own eyes." β
Ye Lanqing thought about it: "After May, how much should his strength improve, right?" I just don't know if I have reached the middle level. β
Lin Yuxuan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible, right?" If the Zhongchen position is so easy to break through, our lonely boat will already be everywhere in the Zhongchen position. β
"That's right!" Ye Lanqing slowly bowed his head: "Although my cousin has advanced by leaps and bounds, the Lu Mansion is too small to support my cousin to go too far, and he wants to break through the Zhongchen position, I think it will take a long time." β
Lin Yuxuan said again: "But I also believe that my cousin will definitely break through the Zhongchen position in the future." β
Ye Lanqing looked at her sideways, her eyes were slightly soft, and said, "To be honest, with your appearance and talent, it is really a waste to match my cousin, if you are in Yeming City, I believe you will have a better home." β
In saying this, Lin Yuyu was aggrieved, his eyes were slightly dark, and he said insincerely: "My cousin is very good, I am very satisfied." β
If there is half a chance to develop in Luminous City, she will give up Lu Qingchen and find a more suitable partner.
In the past, due to her vision, she felt that Lu Qingchen was the best, but after Ye Lanqing's narration, she felt more and more that she was wronged by marrying Lu Qingchen.
In Ye Lanqing's description, the geniuses of Luminous City are like clouds, such as Lu Qingchen, and they can't even be ranked in Luminous City.
"Hey, my cousin should cherish you well, apart from you, I can't think of him marrying a woman better than you." Ye Lanqing said regretfully.
Lin Yuyu's heart shook more and more, should he go to Luminous City to develop?
Tossing and turning all night, the next morning, Lin Yuyu was awakened by the sound of the bell.
Three times in a row, it means that the Lu government is summoned urgently.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yuxuan simply dressed up, and when she went out, she saw Ye Lanqing passing by.
"Miss Night wants to take a look?"
Yelan Qing's head shook slightly: "We two cousins, let's not get involved in the affairs of the Lu Mansion." β
As he was talking, he saw Lu Qingchen walking quickly to the guest hall in the outer courtyard, and he followed Yun'er step by step.
Seeing Yun'er, Lin Yuxuan suddenly felt uncomfortable, and said, "Why not take a look?" Cousins are not outsiders! β
Ye Lanqing was simply fine, nodded and said, "Okay, it seems that the movement is quite big." β
All around are busy people, hurriedly cleaning up, preparing for the welcome ceremony, etc., as if some big man is coming.
Guest Hall.
Under the command of Lu Cangliu, Lu Guyan and Lu Qilin, the people arranged the guest hall, and their expressions were joyful and dignified.
Seeing Lu Qingchen coming, Lu Cangliu hurriedly said: "Qingchen, you came just in time, ready to greet the city lord, he ordered someone to send a message this morning to come to visit." β
Usually the prayer post is delivered a few days or even half a month in advance, and it is delivered in the morning, and the visit is not until noon, which seems to be very hasty.
The city lord came in a hurry, what was the matter?
