In the cold winter, the snow in the Xihuang Mountain is covered with snow, the birds and beasts in the mountain either flee and go away or enter the nest to hibernate, and the whole Xihuang Mountain falls into the unique silence of the cold winter in a white and vast clean.

In the early morning, goose feathers and heavy snow flew all over the sky, pouring on the square outside the main hall of the Soul Sect. The so-called Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, this festival is a very fruitful harvest for the Soul Sect, since the opening day of the second day of the first month of August, Lu Yifan called for shame and courage in front of everyone in the Soul Sect, the development speed of the Soul Sect in the past few months can be said to have reached an amazing point.

Lu Yifan's thousands of invitations failed to invite a guest or friend to be present to congratulate, and suffering such a shameful humiliation made the Soul Sect work hard from top to bottom. Since these people don't show mercy to themselves, then Lu Yifan no longer has to follow the rules that have been circulated in the sect, he has directly expanded the vision of the Soul Sect from the fourteen cities in the southwest to hundreds of cities within a radius of thousands of miles, according to Lu Yifan's words, he just wants to use the shortest time to make these sects and gangs who have humiliated the Soul Sect regret it, the Soul Sect stepped into other people's territory with such fanfare, and it will naturally be resisted, and it is inevitable to fight and kill, at first Lu Yifan was still a little unbearable, but Yan Shuang repeatedly warned him not to be kind to women, so Lu Yifan gritted his teeth and relentlessly under Yan Shuang's earnest teachings, and issued a strict order to the disciples of the Soul Sect, all those who dare to block the development of the Soul Sect will be killed, and Liu Sandao and Xie Yun, who are in charge of external expansion, have become even more unscrupulous when they get this order, and for the leaders of various sects and factions, Liu Sandao has used extremely bloody methods of torture and killing to deter the rest of the sects and gangs, so that in just one month, the gangs of the sects around the country have changed their color about the Soul Sect! However, this also unexpectedly achieved another effect, that is, the further it expanded, the less resistance it encountered, and even many small sect gangs voluntarily contributed their own territory and were willing to attach themselves to the Soul Sect to serve it, just like the attitude of the Chaoyan Gang in the Western Imperial City towards Lou Zong back then.

Through this incident, Lu Yifan suddenly understood a truth, many times good words and persuasion will attract many obstacles, but the thunder suppression can get unexpected miraculous effects. Later, Yan Shuang once asked Lu Yifan such a question: "Yifan, is it your 'salute first and then soldiers' that provokes less killings? Or is it because of the teacher's 'unforgiving' that provokes fewer killings?"

Regarding this question, Lu Yifan could only cry and laugh. It turns out that Yan Shuang was right, although many people died at the beginning, but the more people died later, the fewer people died, so that in the more than a month of the Advanced Year's Festival, Liu Sandao did not pull out the knife again. And if it is according to Lu Yifan's kind of salute before the soldiers, I am afraid that everyone will treat the Soul Sect as a soft persimmon that does not enter the stream to pinch, and when the time comes, any small fish and shrimp will dare to jump out and block the way, if you really start to do it, then it will really kill a lot of people!

Instead of making people respect you, it is better to make people fear you, because fear is always more loyal than respect. This is the only truth that Yan Shuang taught Lu Yifan during this time!

In fact, the Soul Sect's strong expansion has only two purposes, one is to restore his dignity and turn the 'joke' on the second day of the eighth month into the 'nightmare' of these impudent people. The second is to recruit disciples on a larger scale, for today's Soul Sect, gold and silver treasures are not any problem at all, and the biggest problem hindering the development of the sect is that there are still not enough disciples under the sect.

And for the martial arts cultivators who want to serve the sect, naturally whoever is strong will serve whom, the bigger the soul sect does, the more martial arts cultivators will come to admire, at the beginning, Lu Yifan in order to expand his power and all the people who serve the sect will not refuse, but later because the number of people has grown too fast, so that there are also some traitors and criminals in the middle, who eat and cheat, these people often bully the weak fox and fake tiger outside under the banner of the soul sect, and even some people have made a deception of men and women, this matter made Ji Yuan, who is in charge of the soul sect, very angry, he discussed with Lu Yifan again and again, and then conducted a big screening of all the soul sect disciples, and also set strict conditions for entering the sect, in order to ensure that the disciples of the soul sect will not go astray. But even so, it only took four or five months for the Soul Sect to expand its disciples from more than 1,000 at the beginning to more than 10,000. You must know that a sect with more than 10,000 people is no longer a small force even if it is placed in the entire holy domain.

Now that it is the New Year's Festival, Lu Yifan and the others are in an excellent mood, although there is heavy snow outside the hall at the moment, the cold climate still does not affect the peace in the Soul Sect Hall at all.

The sound of the piano in the hall of the Soul Sect of Xihuang Mountain is curling, the sound of the piano is melodious like the sound of heaven, sometimes majestic like a mountain, sometimes tactful like water, sometimes dense as a falling pearl, sometimes sparse and sparse, a song is not finished and then a song, the sound of the piano is inexhaustible, the sound of heaven and earth and man is not full of sound, people can't help but listen to the heart as calm as stop and the whole body is transparent. At the end of the song, only laughter came.

When Han Ling'er, who was dressed in a red dress, gently pressed her two jade hands on the strings, the sound of the piano gradually subsided, and everyone in the hall was still intoxicated.

The reason why Han Ling'er has Yaxing personally touching the qin today is actually because there are two important guests sitting in the main hall of the Soul Sect at this moment, they are Lu Yifan's father, Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan.

The reason why they are called 'noble guests' is because they do not live on the Xihuang Mountain now, but still live in seclusion in the Xihuang City with the rest of the Lu family. Lu Yifan once tried to persuade them, but Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan meant very firmly, that is, they were tired of worldly things, and just wanted to live in seclusion in the market and enjoy their old age peacefully.

Since his parents have this intention, Lu Yifan is naturally not easy to disobey, so he has to let them go as they wish, but Lu Yifan has prepared a large amount of gold and silver for the Lu family, so that they can do some business. The deep meaning of it may not be known to others, but Pang He, the lord of the Western Imperial City, is indeed very clear. He is the city lord of the Western Imperial City, and with his secret support, the Lu family is living a decent life now.

Before Lu Haoqian had the intention to send the ancient to the Soul Sect to help Lu Yifan, but the ancient insisted on continuing to stay with Lu Haoqian and his wife, according to the ancient saying, Lu Haoqian had a heavenly and generous kindness to him, so he swore to protect Lu Haoqian and his wife for the rest of his life!

"Sister Ling'er's piano sound is so good!"

Ah Chang, who was standing beside Han Ling'er and studying hard, was the first to clap his hands and praise, and said again and again: "In the future, my sister must teach me to play the piano!"

"You are so smart, you must be able to learn it as soon as you learn!" Han Ling'er happily agreed, "Actually, I don't play well, next time I should let Sister Ruoxi play a song for everyone!" Saying that, Han Ling'er also put a smile on Tang Ruoxi who was sitting opposite, Yan Shuang was not in the hall at this moment, he said that he wanted to go into the mountain to practice for a month and didn't want anyone to disturb him, and now he has been gone for half a month. And in the past half a month, Tang Ruoxi has been staying with Han Ling'er, and the two gradually changed from being embarrassed and speechless at the beginning to complaining to each other, so they quickly released their suspicions, and now they have become a pair of good sisters who have nothing to say!

Women are like this, as long as there are no complicated relationships, then there is no problem that cannot be solved.

"Ling'er, don't make fun of me, you have been taught by the best violinist in the Holy Realm since you were a child, and now your piano skills have already reached the realm of perfection, how dare I get an axe?" Tang Ruoxi chuckled and greeted, "Now I can only dance with a knife and play with a gun, but I can't do anything that a woman should be able to do!"

"What's that? I won't either!" Wu Mei on the side hurriedly opened her mouth and said, looking at her expression, she was quite proud, as if this was something worth showing off.

"Ahem, Ji Yuan, then you will be guilty in the future!haha......" Liu Sandao joked jokingly while stuffing snacks into his mouth, and hearing Liu Sandao's words, Ji Yuan and Wu Mei's faces turned red at the same time, especially Ji Yuan's expression was already frozen there in embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yifan, Xie Yun, Lu Jun, Yin Xi and others in the hall laughed one after another.

"It's okay! you can go and ask my mother for advice, she will definitely teach all of you to be well-read and reasonable!" Lu Yifan said with a smile, and as he spoke, he also deliberately glanced at Han Ling'er, but was met with a vicious white eye from Han Linger.

"Fan'er, you don't want to make fun of your mother!" Liu Qingyuan laughed softly, and then changed her words, looked at Han Ling'er with a smile, and said gently, "Ling'er! Mother and your father have only one wish now, that is, to hug their grandson quickly!

"Yes!" Lu Haoqian immediately became interested when he heard this, but before he could say the tirade that he had prepared a long time ago, Lu Yifan coughed suddenly.

"Ahem......"

Seeing that the topic had circled back to his head, Lu Yifan's heart tightened, and then he was in a hurry, quickly turned his eyes to Yin Xi, and opened his mouth to ask: "By the way, Yin Xi, how is that Shen Yue'er doing?" Have you ever gone to find someone?"

Lu Yifan's words also immediately aroused everyone's interest, and everyone's eyes in the hall turned from Han Ling'er's body to Yin Xi. And Yin Xi said with an embarrassed face: "I've seen ...... once or twice."

"Once or twice?" As soon as he heard this, Lu Wencai immediately became interested, and couldn't wait to ask, "And then, I heard that Ye Qiu's kid became crazy after being abolished by Brother Liu, and within a few days, he was beaten out of the Shen Mansion by the people of the Shen family, and it was said to the outside world that their son-in-law died of illness." Then wouldn't you be able to go to Miss Shen openly?"

"I've made it clear to her, if I give up the Soul Sect now, it's impossible to live a peaceful life with her!" Yin Xi was straightforward and said bluntly, "That's not the life I want, and I've been born and died with the sect master for so long, the Soul Sect has just been founded now, if I leave now, I Yin Xi will never agree!" I told Yue'er, if she is willing to wait for me, then wait for me for a few more years, if you don't want to wait for me, I will find someone I like to marry!"

"Are you willing to find someone to marry again?" Liu Sandao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"One person, one life, Huang Xuan Lao'er is still reluctant to Xihuang Mountain, is it not the same after betting to lose to the sect master, do you have to get out?" Yin Xihan said with a smile, "If it's mine, someone else can't take it away, and if it's not mine, it can't be kept!"

"That's good!" Lu Haoqian nodded and smiled, "Seeing that there are so many capable people and righteous people around you who understand righteousness, I am relieved to be a father!"

"Master, Fan'er has grown up, what do you and I have to worry about?" Liu Qingyuan smiled, when she spoke, her eyes were full of love when she looked at Lu Yifan, for her son, Liu Qingyuan has always been raised in an almost doting way, even if Liu Qingyuan was born in a famous family, but all the etiquette about husbands and children that she was familiar with was thrown out of the clouds in front of Lu Yifan, so that many times Lu Haoqian couldn't believe that this was the knowledgeable and decent Liu Qingyuan he knew.

"Yifan, the Soul Sect has been developing too fast recently, should we make a good adjustment next?" Ji Yuan asked with a solemn expression.

"It's time to make some adjustments!" Lu Yifan nodded in response, "Now that the scorching Sacred Domain army has been completely defeated, Lan Shixun has entangled an army of 300,000 swords to point at the Jinling Imperial City, I am afraid that the sky of the Sacred Domain will change greatly! Although we have now left the court, after all, we are in the Sacred Domain, if we are not careful, we may also be affected by the pond fish!"

"Alas!" As soon as he mentioned the rout of the Yan Lie army, Lu Haoqian's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of grief, although he is no longer the Duke of Wen Ding, but after all, he has been in the court for decades, and his loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon, and now seeing that the holy area is about to encounter a catastrophe, how can Lu Haoqian's heart be a taste?

"Yan Lie is confused!" Lu Haoqian said with a sad and indignant face, "I really don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor is here from him?"

"I heard that it was because the emperor was ill because of the affairs of the governor of Xi Chen, so the power of the court fell into the hands of Yan Lie......" Lu Jun reminded softly.

"It seems that it is indeed the will of heaven!" Lu Haoqian sighed again, "Your Majesty actually fell ill at this critical time, could it be that the Yan Dynasty has really run out of energy?"

"The most hateful thing is Lan Shixun, he blatantly colluded with the beast clan, and also led Wei Li's 100,000 black armor army into the hinterland of the holy domain, he is simply cocooning himself!" Liu Meng shouted angrily, "At the beginning, so many of our brothers were born and died at the junction of the ice fields with the sect master, just to drive the beast army out of the holy domain. It's good now, the black-armored army that was kicked out by us is now invited back by Lan Shixun!"

"The most unforgivable thing is that he even killed Governor Xi Chen!" Lu Yifan said in a deep voice, "Governor has saved my life more than once, and now that he has died tragically at the hands of Lan Shixun, I will never let go of these traitors!"

"To put it bluntly, isn't it the old fool of the emperor?" Liu Sandao sneered disdainfully, "At the beginning, he only believed in these chaotic ministers and thieves when he killed loyal ministers and good generals, and now he is to blame for falling to this point......!

"Khooth!"

Before Liu Sandao's words fell, a sound of broken strings suddenly sounded in the hall, and then I saw that Han Ling'er's white fingers had been cut by the strings at this moment, and the red blood was seeping outward along her fingertips, so frightened that Ah Chang hurriedly stepped forward and carefully bandaged her, and then looked at Han Ling'er's bleak face, Lu Yifan knew without asking much, she must have recalled Han Xiao and the Han family again.

"Ling'er......" Lu Yifan got up abruptly and walked towards Han Ling'er, and asked softly with a worried face, "Are you okay?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Han Ling'er forced a smile under everyone's worried gaze, and slowly shook her head to signal that everyone didn't have to worry.

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my father-in-law's revenge!" Lu Yifan gently held Han Linger's injured hand and swore in a heavy tone, "I must make them pay the price they deserve!"

"Report!"

Suddenly, a news suddenly came from outside the hall, and then I saw a disciple of the Soul Sect guarding the mountain gate walking into the hall quickly, and then knelt down respectfully to Lu Yifan: "Sect Master Qi, there are guests outside the mountain gate asking to see!"

"Guest?" Hearing this, Lu Yifan couldn't help frowning, and secretly wondered in his heart whether it would be the city lords of the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest who came to show his goodwill, but he asked unhurriedly, "Do you know who is coming? What does the person mean?"

"Back to the sect master, the person who came did not explain his intentions, but he asked the sect master to go out to greet him in person!"

"Oh, what kind of great guest is that he has such a big shelf?" asked Liu Sandao with a playful smile.

"Back to Liu Ye's words, the person who came claimed to be Elder Xuanzong, Ao Guang!"
