Chapter 67: The Su Family's Difficulty
After everyone knew Sikong Xing'er's identity, the look of respect on their faces was even more flattering.
Sikong Xing'er has long been accustomed to this, and she did this to help Lu Xiaoman save some trouble, after all, Lu Xiaoman is only an inner disciple of the ninth layer of foundation building in the eyes of outsiders, and his status in the door is not as good as the previous old hall master.
And she wouldn't worry that Lu Xiaoman would be dissatisfied with her somewhat noisy approach, in fact, it was true, neither Lu Xiaoman nor Li Shenzhou was too lazy to care about the things here.
"Take us to a resting place, don't bother us if there's nothing important," Sikong Xing'er said lightly.
The people glanced at each other, and a young woman with a beautiful face who looked about thirty years old stepped forward and said respectfully: "Subordinate Miao Feifeng, one of the deputy hall masters here, please come with me."
Miao Feifeng led Lu Xiaoman and Sikong Xing'er to a beautiful attic that had been prepared.
"This is the best place to live in the whole branch hall, and we invite the two adults to rest here for a while, and we have prepared a banquet for the two adults at noon. ”
However, Lu Xiaoman and Sikong Xing'er were not interested in this, so they directly refused.
Seeing this, Miao Feifeng didn't dare to force it, but just sent a communication jade talisman and said that if there was any request, please tell me at any time, and he planned to retire.
However, at this time, Lu Xiaoman suddenly asked, "Is this Cangzhou City?"
The other two couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
"Lord Hui, this is indeed Cangzhou City. Miao Feifeng reacted quickly and replied, while Sikong Xing'er on the side was very calm on his face, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart, Lu Xiaoman came here to temporarily act as the master of the branch hall, and he didn't know the location of the branch hall.
"Hmm!" Lu Xiaoman nodded.
Miao Feifeng didn't ask much interestedly, and retreated respectfully.
"Miao Hall Master, can the two adults be satisfied with our arrangement?" When Miao Feifeng came to a side hall for discussion, an old man who looked to be in his sixties asked, and several other people who had just greeted him in front of the teleportation hall were also here.
"Hall Master Yuan," Miao Feifeng nodded to the old man, "The two adults are quite satisfied with the place where they lived, but the banquet was refused. ”
"Yes, with the talents and identities of the two adults, they must be dedicated to cultivation, how could they agree to this kind of banquet?" Deputy Hall Master Yuan shook his head and said, "It's just that those of us who have exhausted our potential and have no future will have to adapt to this." ”
The rest of the people were also a little embarrassed for a while.
"I always feel that the name and appearance of this Lord Lu are a little familiar," this is Miao Feifeng suddenly said, "I always feel that I have seen it somewhere." ”
"I feel that way, too," said a tall, thin middle-aged man with two mustaches.
"Lu Xiaoman... Lu Xiaoman..."He muttered quietly, and suddenly let out an exclamation as if he had thought of something.
The rest of the people couldn't help but look at him.
"Do you remember the duel that shook the city a year ago?" the man said with a sudden mysterious smile.
"Hall Master Kong, do you mean the duel that uses the ninth layer of the refining body to fight against the fifth layer of the foundation?" said Deputy Hall Master Yuan, stroking his beard and frowning.
"That's right," Deputy Hall Master Kong nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "One of the people in this duel is Sun Lijian, the eldest young master of the Sun family's foundation building fifth-layer cultivation, and the other is a girl named Lu Xiaoman!"
"What?" exclaimed several people.
"I also remembered what you said," Miao Feifeng suddenly realized, but then frowned again, "But I remember that Lu Xiaoman was seriously injured a few days after the duel and was taken away by that Mr. Li to heal, how could he be here now..."
"I also remembered her appearance on the portrait, which is exactly the same as this Lord Lu except for her temperament!" said the old man Yuan.
"It seems that there is something strange in this," Deputy Hall Master Kong said, touching his two moustaches.
"But if it's really her, it might be a little troublesome," Deputy Hall Master Yuan said with a faint look in his eyes.
"You mean the matter of the Su family?" Miao Feifeng also reacted when he heard this, and asked with a frown.
"Yes, no matter what the reason is, this Lu Xiaoman was able to leave Cangzhou City safely at that time, but Su Ying's help was indispensable," Old Man Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "This is almost a life-saving grace, and now that the Su family is in a big disaster, Lord Lu may not give up if he knows..."
"And what should we do if she tells her?
Deputy Hall Master Kong's words made everyone fall into deep thought, it stands to reason that Lu Xiaoman is just a temporary branch hall master, and the time is only one or two months, and this is obviously his personal matter, so they don't need to bother to do it at all, at most they can deal with it. But thinking of the identity and status of Sikong Xing'er, who came here with Lu Xiaoman, and Lu Xiaoman's terrifying talent that broke through to the ninth layer of foundation building in a year, these people couldn't help but hesitate.
"Of course, you have to obey Lord Lu's orders!" In the end, Miao Feifeng took the lead in making up her mind and said, she was only less than forty years old, as long as she had enough resources, she still had the opportunity to take a step forward, whether it was Lu Xiaoman's potential or Sikong Xing'er's identity and status, it was worth her to stutter.
"I also think what the Miao Hall Master said is good," the Hall Master Kong touched his beard and said, he has a family, and he also hopes to be able to tie up these two people for the sake of future generations, after all, no matter who will take over this branch hall master in a few months, no matter how it is, it is impossible to compare to Sikong Xing'er's status.
With these two people taking the lead, the rest of the people also nodded yes, only the deputy hall master Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head and said: "I won't mix, I don't have much ambition when I'm old, I just want to spend my old age in peace." ”
That old man Yuan is alone, has no relatives, and he is not young, so it is not surprising that others choose him.
The others deliberated again, decided to start the investigation now, and left together.
Old man Yuan was the only one left in the branch hall, shook his head, poured himself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple..."
And just when a few people were discussing, Lu Xiaoman, who was not tired at all, planned to go out to the City Lord's Mansion, first, to thank Su Yingchu for his help, in addition to trading, Su Ying did help Lu Xiaoman a little, although Li Shenzhou was there, those were not needed at all.
In addition, she also wanted to meet Su Yurou, and the elegant and quiet Su Yurou did leave a slight impression on her.
After Sikong Xing'er learned about it, she couldn't help but be curious about that Su Yurou, so she planned to go with Lu Xiaoman. Lu Xiaoman naturally has no opinion on this.
