Chapter 767: Alone
In the early morning, Lu Yifan, who had not slept all night, sat in the room with a cup of fragrant tea that had already been cold, he had been sitting here since he came back last night, and hurriedly sent Liu Sandao, Zheng Xiaowu and others away, and everyone couldn't bear to disturb him, so he was quiet alone.
After some tossing, Lu Yifan was physically and mentally exhausted, just when Liu Zitang came to the room to serve him to wash, Lu Yifan told Liu Zitang to help him pack his luggage, and after a night of careful consideration, Lu Yifan finally decided to leave the spiritual realm.
"Brother Tian, you only brought a few clothes with you, and I have already packed them all. Liu Zitang hugged Lu Yifan's burden tightly in his arms, and slowly walked in front of Lu Yifan with a sad face, looking at her, he didn't seem to be willing to let Lu Yifan leave. In the entire Soul Sect, only Liu Zitang still retains the original title of Lu Yifan, calling him "Brother Tian", Lu Yifan didn't feel anything wrong with this, and he also formed a habit of going back and forth.
"Thank you. Lu Yifan smiled at Liu Zitang and thanked him, although it was a smile, Liu Zitang could still see that Lu Yifan was preoccupied and smiled very reluctantly.
"Sect Master!"
At this moment, Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Jitang, who went to bid farewell to Xiao Hongfei for Lu Yifan, came back, their faces didn't look very good, obviously they must have been tossing and turning last night and couldn't sleep. Lu Yifan raised his eyes to look at Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Jitang, nodded slightly, and asked lightly, "Yulou and Mu Dan have already left?"
"Yes. Zheng Xiaowu nodded and said, "I heard Xiao Hongfei say that he left overnight, and he must have left the Three Holy Mountain Realm at this moment." ”
Hearing this, a faint look of loss flashed in Lu Yifan's eyes, although he tried his best to make them leave, but at this moment, when he heard that Yulou had left, his heart was still a little sad.
"Why should the sect master wronged himself like this, if you don't want the prince of Yulou to leave, then I'll chase him back......
"No need. Without waiting for Zheng Xiaowu to finish speaking, Lu Yifan shook his head resolutely and said, "From today onwards, no one in the Soul Sect will be allowed to have anything to do with Yulou and Mu Dan, and I will punish those who violate them." As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, Zheng Xiaowu and Liu Jitang looked straight at the same time, and said in unison: "Obey the orders of the sect master!"
Lu Yifan took the burden from Liu Zitang and put it on the table, and asked casually, "How are you packing your luggage?"
"If you go back to the sect master, I will wait until my luggage has been packed and I can leave the Three Holy Mountains at any time. Zheng Xiaowu hurriedly replied, and after saying this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked tentatively, "Sect Master, don't you really tell Brother Liu about our departure?"
Lu Yifan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Telling him will inevitably be a lot of twists and turns, it's better not to tell him than this." Brother Liu has been adrift with me for many years, and he has been covered with scars for my nine deaths, and now that he has finally found a good home to live in peace, how can I drag him down any longer?"
"But the suzerain......"
"No more talk. Lu Yifan waved his hand to interrupt Zheng Xiaowu's further persuasion, slowly got up and put the burden on his back, and smiled at Zheng Xiaowu: "Fifth master, the three of you have traveled thousands of miles back to Xihuang Mountain on this trip, and you must take care of yourself along the way. ”
Hearing Lu Yifan's words, Zheng Xiaowu and the three of them were stunned at the same time, and Liu Jitang spoke first: "Brother Tian, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by this? What about you? Won't you go back with us?"
"I still have a lot of things to do, how can I just go back without my heart settled?" Lu Yifan smiled bitterly, "Demon Domain Sect Master Jun Wujie actually secretly communicated with Bi Qingyuan Tao to calculate me, I have to ask him to understand this matter." ”
Zheng Xiaowu said: "The sect master has great ambitions and has a grand plan to unify the five domains, although Zheng Xiaowu is not talented, but since he has already worshiped under the command of the sect master, he is willing to serve the sect master and work for the dogs and horses, and he will not give up! The sect master will not only go to the demon domain in the future, but also go to the fairy domain, this will inevitably be full of dangers and dangers, I implore the sect master to take Zheng Mou on the same road, and there is a good person to take care of before and after the saddle!"
"I'll go too!" Liu Zitang couldn't wait to speak, looking at Lu Yifan with a pair of apricot eyes full of worry, and said urgently, "The fifth master can saddle the horse for Brother Tian, then I can serve tea and pour water for Brother Tian, how can Brother Tian be a person who does great things without someone to take care of him?"
"Then I'll go too!" Liu Jitang echoed, "If I hadn't known the sect master at the beginning, maybe I would have died a long time ago, and even if I didn't die, I would still be living in the gangsters of Shijia Village, and the big man would live vigorously, this is what the patriarch gave me, I, Liu Jitang, am not afraid of death, but only of living." If we return to Xihuang Mountain like this, the Spear King, the Dragon King, and the brothers of the Soul Sect will definitely look down on us. ”
Zheng Xiaowu nodded again and again: "That is, the sect master is the body of ten thousand people, how can we let the sect master go to danger alone......?
Lu Yifan felt warm in his heart by the words of Zheng Xiaowu and others, although someone left him today, after all, there are still people who are still willing to share honor and disgrace with him. It is undoubtedly a great relief to hear such words when people are frustrated.
Lu Yifan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Zheng Xiaowu's empty left sleeve, and said softly: "Fifth Master, your arm was broken for me, and you have already smeared my liver and brain, how can I let you have any mistakes? What's more, Brother Liu has just sat on the throne of the Soul Lord of the Spirit Domain now, although Sect Master Xiao swears to be harmonious today, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any variables in the future, so I let the Fifth Master return to Xihuang Mountain is actually for another purpose, I hope you rush back to mobilize people, and then send a group of Soul Sect cronies to the Spirit Domain to obey Brother Liu's dispatch. No matter how close the Sansheng Mountain is, it is still an outsider after all, and some things are more secure for us to do by ourselves. ”
"Sect Master ......"
"Not only that, but the fifth master will do three things for me after returning to Xihuang Mountain. Lu Yifan waved his hand to interrupt Zheng Xiaowu's defense and continued, "One is to pay close attention to Ji Yuan's situation in the Beast Domain. The beast domain is not as good as the spirit domain, Brother Liu is Xiao Hongfei's son-in-law, if something happens, Miss Xiao will come forward to help, but Ji Yuan is fighting alone without relatives and no reason in the beast domain, if he needs any help, you must be dispatched, whether it is manpower or financial resources, remember to support Ji Yuan without limits. Second, it is to convey to Lan Chen for me, I have ordered him to be the soul master of the Holy Domain to be fully responsible for all matters in the Holy Domain, and my father-in-law and Yan Ling Xuan are present in Xihuang Mountain, he can help Lan Chen communicate with the royal family and avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible. As for the Sacred Domain Sect...... Tell Lan Chen to convince people with virtue first, if he encounters a stubborn person, he can use some thunderous means if necessary, but remember not to kill innocents indiscriminately. Lan Chen has a cold temperament and cruel methods, but fortunately, there is still someone around him who can suppress him, that is Ji Yi'er, tell Yi'er to supervise Lan Chen well for me, and I will hand over the Sacred Domain Soul Sect to the two of them. The third is to tell Xie Yun to be ready to wait for my news, and to be dispatched at any time, as for letting him be the Immortal Realm Soul Master or the Demon Realm Soul Master, everything will not be known until I go. ”
"Sect Master, the two realms of immortals and demons are different from the beast domain and the spirit domain, most of the immortals and demons are unruly and arrogant, and they are born to rely on their extraordinary talent and cultivation to despise the other three domains. Zheng Xiaowu analyzed in a deep voice, "Not to mention the two sect masters of Yin Qianqiu and Jun Wujie, just saying that the other masters in the two realms of immortals and demons will never be willing to surrender to the sect master." I am still not convinced by the sect master, let alone Xie Yun? I'm worried...... I'm worried that Xie Yun won't be able to suppress those people, but it will lead to death......" Zheng Xiaowu's words couldn't help but change his words at this point, and explained before Lu Yifan spoke, "I don't mean to despise Xie Yun when I say this, it's not just Xie Yun who can't suppress the two domains of immortals and demons, I think there is no one in the Soul Sect who has this kind of ability except for you, the sect master." ”
Lu Yifan nodded undeniably, and then pondered: "The fifth master is reasonable, this matter is indeed my negligence, it is bound to be difficult for the two domains of immortals and demons to submit to me, don't say Xie Yun, even I am not completely sure." Speaking of this, Lu Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's easy to fight, kill, and kill, but when it comes to thinking about it, I always can't make sure that it is foolproof, if Yulou is in the ......" Lu Yifan's words couldn't help but be stunned at this, and then shook his head and laughed at himself, "That's it, it's too far, let's take one step at a time!"
"Actually......" Zheng Xiaowu didn't want to say something, but seeing that Lu Yifan wanted to make up his mind, he couldn't help but speak, "Actually, Xie Yun has been following the sect master for a longer period of time than Lan Chen, and his loyalty is even greater than that of Lan Chen. The Sacred Domain is where the foundation of the Soul Sect is located, why doesn't the Sect Master promote Xie Yun as the Lord of the Sacred Domain, but instead promote Lan Chen?"
Hearing Zheng Xiaowu's words, Lu Yifan couldn't help but feel guilty, the reason why he chose this way was not for nothing, but because he learned in the Sumeru Holy Realm that the person who really won the Heavenly Grace Competition that year was not him, but Lan Chen. But impermanence allowed him to replace Lan Chen because of his special identity, and in the final analysis, Lu Yifan robbed Lan Chen of a great opportunity to practice divine exercises. Lu Yifan always felt guilty in his heart, so now he will give up Xie Yun and promote Lan Chen as the master of the holy domain. It's just that he knows these things himself, but he will never say it to Zheng Xiaowu.
It seemed that seeing Lu Yifan's hesitation, Zheng Xiaowu hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, Lan Chen is also loyal to the sect master, I just asked casually just now......
"Gains and losses can not only look at the present, the impermanence of the world changes with the times, ever-changing but difficult to distinguish gains and losses, some things are difficult for us to explain with right and wrong. Lu Yifan replied ambiguously, and Zheng Xiaowu just nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't continue to ask.
"Brother Tian, since the fifth master has a heavy responsibility, then he can not go to the Demon Domain with you, but the two of us can ......"
"What can it be?" Lu Yifan directly interrupted Liu Zitang's words, looked at the Liu family brothers and sisters with a smile, and said slowly, "You two are also mediocre and mediocre, the top priority is to temper yourself well, not to rush to make meritorious contributions, if you follow me, will you protect me or will I protect you? I am alone and have no worries, I can come and go everywhere like the wind, the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, if I want to hide, then even Jun Wujie and Yin Qianqiu will not want to find the slightest trace of me." But if you two follow me, the situation will be very different, and instead of helping me, you will become a burden to me. ”
Although Lu Yifan's words were a little mean, they were reasonable, and Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang had no way to refute them.
Liu Jitang's anxious eyes were filled with tears, and he said stubbornly: "I don't need your protection, the old man in the village said that if a woman blindly relies on a man, she will only be looked down upon by a man......"
Lu Yifan laughed and said jokingly: "Did the old man in the village say that a woman without self-knowledge can only be a vase that makes people laugh?"
When Lu Yifan said this, Liu Zitang's cheeks suddenly turned red, and he wanted to speak several times, but he really couldn't think of any reason to refute. Lu Yifan waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I understand all your kindness, I can guarantee you, I will definitely protect myself wherever I go, and I will never die outside......"
"Sect Master can't curse himself?" Liu Jitang hurriedly said, "What can't die, bah, bah, great luck! Great luck! Sect Master Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be rich and noble, and his longevity will be the same as that of heaven!"
"Haha......" It was rare to laugh in the haze all night, Lu Yifan looked around Zheng Xiaowu and the Liu family brothers and sisters again, and then said "take care", and then laughed and walked out of his room with his baggage. Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang originally wanted to catch up, but they were stopped by Zheng Xiaowu, looking at Lu Yifan's back as he walked away, listening to Lu Yifan's uninhibited laughter, Zheng Xiaowu's eyes became more and more lonely, and he seemed to mutter: "The sect master wants to let him go out and become all of us alone, if we are obsessed, we are afraid that his hard work will be in vain......" Liu Zitang rushed to the door with tears in his eyes, and shouted loudly to Lu Yifan, who had disappeared outside the courtyard gate: " Brother Tian, we are waiting for you to come back in Xihuang Mountain......"
Outside the mountain gate.
Xiao Hongfei stood there alone, and when he saw Lu Yifan hurriedly rushing forward, Lu Yifan smiled and said, "Now that you have resigned, Sect Master Xiao doesn't have to send it anymore." ”
"Sect Master Lu ......" Xiao Hongfei's face was complicated, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, "Although you and I have only known each other for a few days, Xiao has already regarded Sect Master Lu as a good friend, and now that Sect Master Lu is leaving, Xiao is really a little reluctant in his heart." ”
"If I stay in the Three Holy Mountains, Sect Master Xiao and all the elders and disciples will be jealous, after I leave, you just have to support Liu Sandao. Lu Yifan smiled lightly, "As long as Sect Leader Xiao keeps his promise and doesn't embarrass Liu Sandao, then Lu will never go against what he said at the banquet." But if someone in the spiritual realm disobeys Liu Sandao, then Lu will never show mercy to his subordinates. ”
Lu Yifan was both gracious and powerful, although he still called Xiao Hongfei "Sect Master Xiao" between his words, but in fact, the tone and way of speaking already had a faint sense of command, as if he had regarded Xiao Hongfei as a minister.
"It must be ......" Xiao Hongfei nodded again and again and smiled, "Since I have recognized Liu Sandao as my son-in-law, I will be a family with him in the future, Xiao Mou hates ingratitude and cannibalism the most in his life, so I will never do anything to be sorry for Liu Sandao because of anyone, otherwise, even if Sect Master Lu is willing to forgive me, Liu Yi and my good grandson will not forgive me." Hehe......"
"Sect Leader Xiao understands righteousness, I am relieved to hear you say this. Lu Yifan smiled slightly, and then he was about to raise his feet and leave, but saw Xiao Hongfei subconsciously step forward and take a step. Seeing this, Lu Yifan raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Hongfei, who wanted to speak and stopped, and asked with a smile: "Sect Master Xiao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, since we are already a family, why does Sect Leader Xiao hide it from me?"
"Yes. Xiao Hongfei nodded rather awkwardly and smiled, "Actually, in addition to wanting to see off Sect Master Lu in person, I also have a small matter that I want to ask Sect Master Lu to help me solve." Sect Master Lu asked Liu Yi to deliberately get drunk with Liu Sandao last night to make him fall asleep today, the purpose is not to let Liu Sandao know that you have left, but Liu Sandao's temper Sect Master Lu should know that if he knew that you would not say goodbye, he would definitely go down the mountain desperately to find you, and now the little girl is pregnant and can't move, this matter is ......"
Without waiting for Xiao Hongfei to finish his words in embarrassment, Lu Yifan suddenly realized that he laughed and said: "I see, although Sect Master Xiao can rest assured in this matter, I have left a letter for Brother Liu in the room, after he wakes up, you just give him this letter, he will definitely not mess around anymore after reading it!"
Xiao Hongfei was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "In this way, Xiao will be relieved!"
"Brother Liu is really upright in temperament, but sometimes he acts impulsively and recklessly, hoping that Sect Leader Xiao and Miss Xiao can take care of him more in the future. Lu Yifan arched his hand and said, "But he has a pure nature, as long as you live up to him, he will never do anything excessive to you." ”
"Sect Master Lu can rest assured, Liu Sandao's temperament is quite similar to Xiao when he was young, and Xiao knows how to get along with Liu Sandao. Xiao Hongfei patted his chest and reassured.
Lu Yifan nodded with satisfaction, he had already instructed what he should have instructed, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, after exchanging words with Xiao Hongfei to take care, he resolutely went down the mountain, and his figure disappeared from Xiao Hongfei's sight in a few flashes.
Xiao Hongfei stood at the mountain gate and stared at the empty and narrow mountain road, and couldn't help but let out a bitter sigh in his mouth.
"What should I do if I surrender to you today? If you kill Su Xie, the Jinghai Divine Clan will inevitably fight with you endlessly, why don't you enjoy yourself for a few days when you are already a dying person, but you still have to fight hard to be the master of the Five Domains? Alas!"
