Chapter 29 Repayment of Debts
Day after day, it has been more than a month since they were imprisoned in the stone prison, but the three of them are enjoying themselves, chatting in their spare time, most of the time they are cultivating, Lin Jue and Zhang Qingbai have broken through the shackles of the four grades at the same time, and they are breaking through the impact day and night. Wanxi is just an ordinary person who can't cultivate, so she can only sit next to Lin Jue and guard it boringly.
After Lin Jue meditated for two days and three nights, the aura on his body finally fluctuated. The firmament seal silently opened, and the golden Peng pattern was blazing again.
After that, some of them were dull again.
Lin Jue slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows were full of joy, and the momentum on his body was already a little stronger.
"Phew, it's finally worked. This time, it was a natural promotion, no surprise and no danger, it would be nice if it could go so smoothly every time. ”
"Are you awake, are you alright?" asked Wanxi with concern.
"Hmm. Lin Jue raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes flickering slightly.
Now the relationship between him and this Wanxi is very delicate, let's say it's brotherhood, it's not like him and Zhang Qingqing, let's say it's something else, the person in front of him is clearly a teenager. Lin Jue only felt that there was a stone hanging in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out and couldn't fall, which made him very sad.
Wanxi was still the same as always, and she didn't notice anything.
"You haven't moved for so long, and I'm worried that something has happened to you. ”
Lin Jue only said dryly: "I was successfully promoted a day ago, and then I was just adjusting my veins and consolidating my realm. I didn't expect you to worry, I'm really ashamed. ”
Just when a few people gradually got used to this kind of life and thought that Rong Li had forgotten the three of them, Miss Rong came to the door again.
In the early morning of that day, when Zhang Qingbai was still asleep, he suddenly felt that there was another person beside him, and he glanced at it in confusion, and saw a beautiful girl standing by the bed, looking at himself with a smile, and suddenly he was completely sleepy, and a carp turned up from the bed, brushed his hair that was messier than a bird's nest, and said:
"I don't know when Miss Rong came, and how long have you been standing here and watching?"
Zhang Qingbai was already obscene, and coupled with the appearance of pretending to be shy at the moment, Rong Xing was frightened when he saw it, and scolded sharply at the moment:
"Fat Zhang, you give me a good talk, or I'll knock out your two rabbit teeth. ”
Zhang Qingbai instantly retracted, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
Rong Li eased up a little and said:
"You have been in my stone prison for a long time, you can't eat and drink for nothing, can you? Go and call Lin Jue and wait for me in the open field in front of the main hall. After speaking, he lifted the ban of the stone prison and left first.
The domain lord's mansion, the "Long Sky Palace" is empty and endless, except for the soldiers and guards patrolling the mansion, no outsiders can step here, but today it is crowded with people, and the water is impassable, not to mention that more than 100,000 people have come.
Today was the day that caused a sensation in the entire Violet Domain, and the domain lord Rong Cang held a birthday banquet for his sixtieth birthday, although he himself couldn't remember how many sixty years he had lived. After a Heavenly Mandate cultivator reaches a certain realm, his face is ageless and his body is not decaying, and it is impossible to tell his age from his appearance. So it's not so much a birthday feast as a grand gathering.
There are thousands of cities in the entire Violet Domain, and all those with some status will come to the Domain Lord's Mansion today to celebrate their birthday, and this kind of opportunity is rare, so many people take this opportunity to see the world.
The banquet exhibition was full of joy.
All the seats of the visitors were distributed according to rank, and in front of the main hall sat Rong Cang and a number of powerful people of the Shuntian Mansion, such as Li Hong, the deputy city lord of Shuntian City, and his son Li Hao. There are also the Beast Pavilion Lord Sha Qian, and the Yejian Mountain Villa Master Wen Yixiao, all of whom are famous figures in the Violet Domain, so they enjoy the table. Most of the others were seated according to the ranking of the city, and the seats stretched for miles, and countless male and female attendants shuttled through the feast, ready to serve wine and food. Fortunately, the "Changkong Palace" was built by Gao Wei, otherwise the guests on the periphery would not have seen Rong Cang's true face.
Lin Jue and the three of them, under the leadership of the guards, were on the side of the main hall and did not sit down.
"Hey, the identity of this domain lord is not ordinary, and it takes so much effort to hold a banquet. I can't wait to call all the people in the Violet Domain. Zhang Qingbai saw the boiling scene in front of him, and couldn't help but smack his lips.
Lin Jue was looking for Rong Li's figure everywhere, and the girl called herself out now, and she would never be kind enough to feast on them. "When something goes wrong, there must be a demon", he has already experienced the nameless old man very deeply.
As soon as Rong Li finished toasting his father, he noticed the arrival of Lin Jue and the others, and a sly smile appeared on his delicate face. Then he summoned a maid beside him and whispered a few words in his ear. After speaking, the maid hurriedly walked towards Lin Jue.
"Young Master Lin, my young lady asked you to wait here for a while, and I will be able to find your place in a while. ”
Lin Jue bowed his head silently, and didn't say anything else, just waited quietly.
Rong Cangzheng was chatting with Li Hong and the others, and suddenly his daughter whispered a few words beside him, and his face changed suddenly, and he looked at the side of the hall angrily, and exclaimed.
"Just that kid?"
The other guests at the table didn't know why Rong Cang suddenly became angry, and they all followed his gaze and forgot about it.
Lin Juezheng was talking to Zhang Qingqing, and suddenly felt that the cold was on his back, and a killing intent struck, tracing back to the source of the Rong Cang. The people around him were also looking at him, and he was depressed for a while, when he had offended such a person. But seeing the sly smile on Rong Li's lips, he instantly understood.
"This Rong Li must have put something bad on himself. ”
Rong Cang retracted his gaze, and there was no interest in the banquet, so he only said to his daughter solemnly:
"Li'er, you are too young, you should focus on cultivation first. Besides, you are my Rong Cang's daughter, and the pride of the sky can be the master for you as much as the whole world likes, but you must be worthy of your identity. As he spoke, he looked at Li Hao, who was sitting opposite, "I think Li Xian's nephew is very suitable for you." Your Uncle Li has assisted me for many years, and he is already my father's right-hand man, if you get married to Li Hao again, it will be a good thing for both of us. ”
Li Hao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you for the domain lord's love, I'm afraid that the eldest lady won't look down on me." ”
Rong Li glanced at it proudly.
"I just can't look down on you. ”
Li Hao's body stiffened, and he was embarrassed to be there, but he didn't expect this Rong Li to let himself get off the stage so much in front of everyone, and his heart was full of anger but he didn't dare to explode.
"Nonsense!"
Rong Cang scolded angrily.
"Li Xian's nephew is not a thousand times stronger than that kid. It's all because I've been spoiling you too much, and spoiling you so brutal and willful!"
"Hmph, Lin Jue is not something that ordinary gentlemen can compare. Rong Li was still unconvinced.
Although Li Hong was also quite dissatisfied with Rong Li's contemptuous words, he still persuaded with a smile on his face.
"The domain lord doesn't need to be angry, the eldest lady is still young, and there are some truths that she will understand in the future. She valued that kid so much, maybe he really had something special. ”
"What the deputy city lord said has a point. Sha Qian said, "Since the eldest lady values that kid so much, you might as well let her compete with Young Master Li." ”
"I think it's feasible, today is the domain master's birthday banquet, so you might as well be lively and lively, so that everyone can enjoy it together. Wen Yixiao hurriedly echoed on the side.
Of course, Rong Cang had no opinion, but he was worried that his daughter would protect his little lover, but Rong Li agreed to be happier than him.
"Okay, then let's put the two of them to the test. If Lin Jue wins, you can't interfere in anything I do or make in the future. ”
"Good!"
Rong Cang agreed without even thinking about it.
Li Hao can be regarded as something he grew up watching, and he knows what his strength is. Li Hao has been taught by Li Hong himself from the beginning of his cultivation to the present, and although his strength cannot be matched by his age, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
Seeing that his daughter was so reserved and conceited, Rong Cang couldn't help but whisper with joy.
"What if you lose?"
"After that, everything will be arranged by her father, and her daughter will never complain. ”
After speaking, Rong Li ran to Lin Jue with a gloating expression.
"It's annoying that Li Hao has been pestering me since he was a child, but I haven't found a good opportunity to teach him a lesson. If you can defeat him in front of more than 100,000 people this time, it will be a breath of relief for me. The 500,000 gold coins owed to me will be written off. If you lose......"
"You won't lose!"
There is a square empty altar in front of the main hall, which can just be used as a competition platform.
Li Hong and Li Hao took the lead in the arena, attracting thousands of people, and the deafening applause resounded throughout Suncheon City.
Li Hong looked around and clasped his fists and said loudly: "Today is the 60th birthday of the domain master, Li did not prepare a generous gift, so he had to order my son to have a fight with others to cheer up the domain master and all the guests." Children are not good at learning arts, and I hope that everyone here will give you more advice. ”
Everyone at the banquet returned the salute.
"Lord Li is modest, Ling Gongzi was already a star scholar at the age of twelve, and he was still a star nebula of the four heavens, and few people of the same age could match it, besides, the tiger father has no dogs, how can I be qualified to evaluate the merits. ”
"Yes, but I don't know which Tianjiao is fighting with Ling Gongzi?"
Li Hong smiled contemptuously and said, "It's not a Tianjiao, it's just a hairy boy highly recommended by Miss Rong." Although my son disdained bullying, he didn't want to ruin the eldest lady's interest, so he agreed. ”
As he was talking, he saw a young man jumping up from the front of the hall and landing on the other side of the empty altar with a free and easy posture.
"Which son is this? ”
"He looks really outstanding and handsome, but he can't remember which son in Suncheon City is. ”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, all of them wondering about Lin Jue's origin.
"Hmph, this son is not a child of a family. It's just a fatherless and motherless outcast in my Sky City!"
An old man with crane hair and a childish face, the sound of gnashing teeth in his mouth was loud, and his eyes looked at Lin Jue with a venomous gaze, eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
