Volume 3 Water City Chapter 329 The Trouble Caused by the Greedy Mouth (Big Chapter)
"Hey, ...... you" Seeing the gray-clothed young man running away, Lu Weiwei behind her immediately caught up and chased, but just after chasing not far away, she seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly turned her head and glared at Zhou Nian, and whispered in a commanding tone, "Hey, you are not allowed to run, stay here honestly for me, the matter between the two of us is not over, you wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, she turned her head and chased again, and the speed of running was comparable to that of the young man in gray.
"Wait for you to come back?" Zhou Nian looked at her speechlessly, and said in his heart, "Why should I wait for you to come back? If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay? Don't run away? Fools don't run!"
He didn't care about a little girl's orders, he turned his head and threw the other party's words into the wind, and walked away.
Leaving is called a free and easy, Lu Weiwei would never have dreamed that Zhou Nian would be so unsophisticated, but when she came to Murong Xue's side, the situation here was obviously much worse than over there.
There were three people standing in front of him, in addition to Murong Xue and Wang Yan, who was running out of breath, there was also a girl sitting crookedly on the ground.
She looks like she is about fifteen years old, wearing a purple dress, and her figure is standard, but she is slightly inferior to Murong Xue, not as gentle as her, but a little more rebellious, the whole person looks spiritually powerful, what kind of "little jasper, everyone is beautiful" and the like, she has nothing to do with it at all, she is a fake boy, and she doesn't think how cold and dirty it is on the ground, so that she is covered in dirt, but she has no intention of wiping it.
She is Sister Sun mentioned in Wang Yan's mouth, her real name is Sun Lu, and she is also one of the seven inner disciples of the Quenching Fire Hall, but she is slightly different from several other inner disciples, she is privately recognized.
To put it simply, it is a disciple of the inner family who has not come in through formal channels.
If it sounds good, it is favored by the hall master, and if it is ugly, it is to go through the back door.
The other six inner family disciples were all selected through the Quenching Hall, experienced all kinds of hardships, and worked hard for a long time to slowly climb up.
But Sun Lu is different, he has never suffered anything, and his status has risen to the sky in one step when he first entered, just like a diamond monkey on his buttocks, and he was directly promoted to become a disciple of the Quenching Hall, and he has a hard enough relationship.
The reason why there is such a superior treatment is entirely because Sun Lu has a good father, her father saved the life of the master of the Quenching Hall many years ago and gave him a lot of favors, just like the other party's reborn parents, the kindness is as deep as the sea.
With such a great kindness, the master of the Quenching Hall did not forget Ben, not only married Sun Lu and her father, but also accepted Sun Lu as his own daughter, carefully cared for and took care of it, let go of the fear of falling, put it in the mouth for fear of melting, worthy of the name of the pearl in the palm, even better than his own daughter.
The relationship is so hard, Quenching Hall is to put it bluntly, in fact, it is Sun Lu's second home, she can come whenever she wants, she can go wherever she wants, she goes in and out on weekdays, she has no scruples at all, and no one dares to offend her, after all, no one dares to go against the master of Quenching Hall, and they all carefully let her get used to her, for fear that if she is unhappy, she will not be able to eat and go around.
Of course, although Sun Lu is rampant in the entire Quenching Hall, she is still somewhat afraid, she is not afraid of her godfather, the only person she is afraid of is the biological daughter of the master of the Quenching Hall, that is, Murong Xue, who is now teaching her like a kitten.
Murong Xue is not the same as her, although she has a coaxing father, but she is not complacent because of this, she is overly proud, sitting in the position of a disciple in the Quenching Hall, it is completely based on her own ability, since she was a child, she has been regarded as the future successor of the Quenching Hall to cultivate, her heart and work are naturally more self-reliant than ordinary people, not relying on the sky, not relying on the ground, not relying on her parents and relying on herself, Murong Xue has this quality and state of mind, why worry about not becoming a big deal in the future?
The relationship between the Sun family and the Murong family has always been good, and every time it is a festival, it is inevitable to walk around each other, thicken the relationship, and contact feelings.
However, this time, the situation is very different, after all, it doesn't matter if it's a trivial matter, but once the matter rises to the relevant sects, between the families, and then the hippie smile fools the past, it will definitely cause great trouble in the future.
Sun Lu sat crookedly on the ground and looked up at Murong Xue, looking at the other party's angry appearance, he had never seen her make such a big fire, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and muttered in a low voice, "Sister Murong, you ...... Are you going to do this? Aren't you going to steal a few of your fruits? You're guilty of making such a big fuss with me? Hurt my ass, ...... Come and rub it for me. ”
She really has no eyesight, she can't see that her eyebrows are high and her eyes are low, and the priority of things is so important that she asked Murong Xue to rub her ass at this juncture, thinking that she is usually in front of each other, and it has become a habit to be coquettish.
"Huh?" Murong Xue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and when she was young, she was furious in her heart, and the anger on her face was even stronger than before, "Rub your ass? Why didn't you fall to your death! Do you know how much trouble you caused me this time? I don't rarely say you, that fruit is a fruit for Lord Blood Cicada, and it is necessary to prepare for the "Fruit Conference", you can satisfy your hunger by eating it yourself, but how do you ask me to pay for it?"
"What! blood...... Lord Blood Cicada?" As soon as the name came out, Sun Lu was obviously a little flustered.
Who is Lord Blood Cicada? That's the highest-ranking ruler in the City of Water, except for the Michelle family, who can compete with it, the other families are not enough for him to see, and the existence that can remove a family name with a casual finger, can this be a joke?
Sun Lu's family is just one of the lower ranks of all first-class families, and when the family meeting is held, the seats are also in a remote area that no one pays attention to, and there is almost no right to speak, only to sit in and sell.
But now, she actually secretly ate the fruit offered to Lord Blood Cicada, which was undoubtedly snatched from the tiger, and she was a little bolder.
"Really...... Really, Sister Murong, don't lie to me. Sun Lu suddenly stood up from the ground, a little scared in his heart, but not to the level of fear.
She has been messing around at home since she was a child, and when the sky falls, there is an adult in the family, so naturally she has never seen the power of the blood cicada.
It's just that I heard that it was a big man, and many people couldn't afford to offend, but when I heard it, I heard it, but I can't confuse seeing it with seeing it as reality.
Murong Xue shook her head and sighed, "Alas, the stakes are very high, how can I joke with you about this kind of thing?" ”
"Yes...... But I didn't eat much, there are so many people who paid him tribute, Lord Blood Cicada shouldn't notice it......" Sun Lu lowered his voice and tried to defend himself, but obviously lacked confidence.
"Didn't eat much?" As soon as these words came out, the anger on Murong Xue's face suddenly came out again, and he scolded angrily, "You still have the face to say, what are you not good to eat, but you just eat the blood cicada's favorite heart-of-the-earth fruit, it is a rare variety, there are only ten in total, you have eaten three yourself, you are not bitter, can you eat that fruit?"
"Uh...... It's really bitter, and it's not delicious at all. ”
"You...... You're still here with a poor mouth, and if it's not delicious, you're still eating? Who are you fooling?"
"It's really bitter, I'm just curious why those big people like to eat this kind of bitter fruit, so I taste it. ”
"Taste, do you call it tasting? I don't think anyone is happier than you. ”
"No...... Isn't it just three fruits, I'll compensate you, as for saying this, I......" Sun Lu's voice became smaller and smaller, and she didn't take advantage of stealing things, and at this time, she looked at Murong Xue with an angry look, so frightened that she unconsciously shrank her head.
"Compensation?"
As soon as this word came out, Sun Lu couldn't hold it back, and the jade hand was lightly raised, and he actually started directly, pinched the other party's little face, and then pulled it to the side, "Hmph, what a big breath!"
"Ouch, ouch, sister, it hurts, it hurts, you can lighten it......" Sun Lu's mouth was almost deformed by Murong Xue, and she shouted with a grin.
"It hurts?"
Murong Xue glared at her fiercely, she was also soft-hearted, and she gave up immediately after only punishing her, a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, "Do you still know that it hurts, I beat you lightly, this geocentric fruit is an extremely rare fruit, the best time to eat it is within five days of just picking it, unless it is put in the warehouse for refrigeration, otherwise it will lose the freshness of the fruit, you stole three at once, and you have no money to buy it, how can you compensate?"
"Huh, so troublesome?"
"Hmph, don't bother me to be so angry? If Uncle Sun knew about this, he would probably be able to peel off your skin. ”
"I ...... My father was reluctant to beat me because he was afraid of my mother. Sun Lu rubbed her blushing little face, and said fearlessly.
Murong Xue snorted coldly when she heard this, "Hmph, whether to fight or not, what is the matter, this matter is very important, Uncle Sun is afraid that he will move the board for you this time." ”
"Cut, he won't dare. ”
"Don't dare, if you don't believe it, just try!" Murong Xue looked angry, it would be easy to do without other fruits, but this earth-centered fruit was difficult to find and was the favorite of Lord Blood Cicada, which gave her a big problem.
However, she was embarrassed, there was a person who was even more embarrassed than her, the expression on her face was iron and stiff, as if she had been frozen by the ice cubes in the ten winter months, and it took a long time to interject with difficulty.
"That'...... That, there's not enough of the Centric Fruit?"
The person who said this was the gray-clothed young man who was standing beside him and listened to the conversation for a long time, at first Murong Xue didn't notice him, but saw him coming with Lu Weiwei, and the latter acted quite cautiously, so he wasn't too vigilant.
Hearing him speak at this time, Murong Xue shifted her gaze to him and asked with a little curiosity, "......Who is this son?"
"Don't ask me who I am, answer my questions first. To the surprise of others, when he heard that the number of earth-centered fruits was insufficient, the gray-clothed young man changed his previous humble style and became a little tougher.
"Huh?"
Murong Xue couldn't help frowning, she was a little angry about the trouble that Sun Lu broke out, and the other party actually put a stinky shelf there to inquire around, obviously hitting the muzzle of the gun.
There was a slight displeasure in her heart, but Murong Xue was by no means the kind of reckless person, on the premise of not finding out the details of the other party, it was best to avoid his edge, so she simply turned her head and glanced at Lu Weiwei, hoping to get some useful information from her.
Lu Weiwei blinked her big eyes, her voice was smart enough, and she was naturally thorough, and before the other party could say anything, she said first, "Sister Murong, he is from Weihu Hall." ”
With the three words "Weihu Hall", Murong Xue immediately became vigilant in his heart, he was familiar with the relationship between the two factions, and he couldn't afford to slack off.
Fortunately, she asked Lu Weiwei a little more, otherwise she was afraid that she would have caused trouble with the posture just now.
"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest of Weihutang, disrespectful, disrespectful. Murong Xue hugged her fists at the gray-clothed young man, hesitated slightly, and then asked, "But I don't know what happened to Weihu Hall coming to my Quenching Hall this time?"
"What's the matter? Hmph, don't pretend to be confused, let me ask you, is the heart fruit not enough?"
The same question, but the tone is completely different, the young man in gray seems to have suddenly changed people, and his attitude and style of acting are simply different from before.
"Centric Fruit?"
As soon as these three words came out, Murong Xue's face was in trouble, and the other party must have heard those words, if he tried to find excuses, I am afraid it would be in vain.
"Uh...... Don't hide it from the son, there is indeed such a thing. ”
"Hmph, it's good if you admit it, I'm afraid you won't admit it, but now you are talking about it, there are three less Earth Heart Fruits, what should you and my family do?"
The tone in which he said this sounded yin and yang, not like a conversation between close partners, but like a superior questioning a subordinate.
"This ......" Murong Xue's expression was slightly deadlocked, and she had been thinking about remedies since the beginning of the fight, but the time was too short and the matter was too big, how could she, a disciple of the inner family, show the attitude that the head of the family should have?
was choked enough, there was no word to make a reasonable response, Sun Lu next to him was a quick temper, he was not born to be pinched by a soft persimmon, he blew up the temple immediately, stretched out his hand and pointed angrily at the nose of the gray-clothed young man, and shouted in a low voice, "Hey, what kind of attitude do you have! Why do you put on a high-minded appearance to question my sister? How old are you!"
Quenching Hall is afraid of offending Weihutang in business, but the Sun family is not afraid, especially Sun Lu, who would rather be used to himself than others, how can he let a child younger than himself dictate here?
"Lu'er, don't say it!" Sun Lu's sudden jump frightened Murong Xue, and she squeezed her eyebrows and whispered a hint, but the other party's quick temper was like a stubborn donkey, and he couldn't pull it back.
"Oh, how old am I?hahaha......" I didn't expect the gray-clothed young man to laugh at this time, and the smile was very weird.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Sun Luqi's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt that he was being underestimated by the other party.
"Hmph, I'm laughing at you for asking this question too ignorantly, how old am I?" Hmph, you come and tell her!" The gray-clothed young man's boss naturally didn't say anything, so he had to trouble Murong Xue to help him say it.
Murong Xue's face was slightly thin and solemn, and after a few seconds of silence, she said quietly, "He...... He was the new handover of Shen Mu and the new successor of our Quenching Hall and Weihu Hall. ”
"What is that?" Sun Lu frowned slightly, not understanding.
Murong Xue said with a solemn expression, "Our Quenching Hall and Weiwu Hall have had business dealings for many years, and they have communicated with each other, and the relationship has always been good. , All the families and sects in the City of Water need to offer a certain amount of high-grade fruits, among these fruits, especially the core of the earth fruit is the most important, the number of tributes this time, the Divine Barracks and the Weihu Hall need to hand over a total of ten geocentric fruits, five of the Divine Barracks, five of the Weihu Hall, since the Quenching Hall is a major rudder of the Divine Barracks, the task of cultivation and cultivation is naturally handed over to our Quenching Hall to deal with, and when it is ripe, the two divide the fruits equally and hand them over to the Blood Cicada Lord, he came this time to take the five Earth-centered fruits of the Weihu Hall. ”
"Five?" Sun Lu seemed to understand a little, looking at the other party's unkind appearance, this is to grab the last seven fruits with the Divine Battalion.
If he successfully took away the five, then the last two would be left for the Divine Battalion, and it was obvious that he would not be able to complete the task.
On one side is the chief helm of the Quenching Hall, and on the other side is the partner of the Quenching Hall for many years, both sides can not be offended, the Quenching Hall is sandwiched in the middle, Sun Lu stood in Murong Xue's perspective and put himself in his shoes, and suddenly felt very self-blaming.
blame yourself for being greedy, and greed has forced Quenhuo Hall into a dilemma, damn it!
With his hands in front of his chest, the gray-clothed young man was not in the mood to accompany the people of the Quenching Hall here to delay his work, it was related to the future fate of the sect, this time he was determined to win the five Earth Heart Fruits, and before the handover of the Divine Battalion arrived, he simply made the first move, forcing the other party to hand over the fruit and leave as soon as possible.
"Hey, what are you two still thinking about? Now that you know my identity, then hand over the fruit, could it be that you Quenching Fire Hall still want to lose faith in our Weihu Hall?"
"Yes, hurry up and hand over the fruit, my brother and I have other things to do, I don't have time to spend here with you, hand it over quickly!" Shen Sen on the side echoed casually, his IQ seemed to have improved at this time, and the four big words of "be cautious in words and deeds" were also scored, since his brother had begun to whine and be aggressive, what else was he polite?
The two of them seemed to be in a persecuting posture, but the people in the Quenching Hall dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, after all, they were unreasonable.
The seven fruits are divided into two families, and if you offend any family, you can't eat it and walk around, such a big and important matter, even if Murong Xue is the biological daughter of the Quenching Hall Master, she can't be the master.
Bei Ya bit her lip lightly, and Murong Xue said solemnly, "Childe, this matter is very important, I can't be the master alone, please wait here for a while, after I give the hall master, I will definitely give you a judgment." ”
The gray-clothed young man frowned slightly, and said coldly in his voice, "Hmph, okay, forgive you for not daring to play tricks in the Quenching Hall, let's wait here to see how your hall master handles it impartially." ”
After the gray-clothed young man finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
