In the morning, a good show was staged in the palace to prevent women from shaving eyebrows. Lu Yifan was impressed by Xiao Liuyi's courage and decided to leave the Spirit Emperor's Mansion early tomorrow morning and go to Sansheng Mountain to talk to Xiao Hongfei.

In the evening, Lu Yifan was packing up in the post house, Liu Sandao stood against the door, holding his chest with both hands and talking and laughing with Lu Yifan who was packing his bags without saying a word.

"Bang, bang!"

There was a crisp knock on the door, but seeing Yulou push the door and walk into the room, Lu Yifan smiled without looking back: "Yulou, can you pack up your baggage?"

"Hmm!" Yulou agreed quite casually, with thoughtful eyes in his eyes, obviously a little absent-minded. I saw him slowly walk to the table and sit down, pour himself a cup of tea and take two sips.

"What about Mu Dan?" Lu Yifan tied up his baggage, turned around and walked to Yulou and sat down, and said with a light smile, "After going to the Three Holy Mountains this time, do you want to separate again?"

Yulou didn't seem to hear Lu Yifan's words, but nodded in a trance, his eyes slightly squinted and stared at the candle on the table, looking at it intently.

"Jade Building?" Lu Yifan noticed the abnormality of the Jade Building, and said softly, "What are you thinking?"

Yulou woke up suddenly, frowned, and said to Lu Yifan: "Yifan, there is something I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Seeing Yulou so solemn, Liu Sandao frowned, and then said to Lu Yifan: "Yifan, you talk, I'll go outside to guard." ”

Without waiting for Lu Yifan to respond, Liu Sandao had already turned around and left the room and closed the door tightly. There were only two people left in the room, Lu Yifan and Yulou, Lu Yifan nodded and motioned for Yulou to continue, Yulou took a deep breath, cleared his thoughts and slowly spoke: "Yifan, do you feel that everything we have experienced in the spiritual realm seems to be too smooth?"

"Are you talking about setting up a Spirit Realm Soul Master?" Lu Yifan muttered, "This matter is indeed much smoother than I imagined. ”

"Tai Ji Sheng, we went through a lot of hardships and conspiracies in the Beast Domain, and finally succeeded in leaving Ji Yuan in the Beast Domain to preside over the overall situation. But now that we have arrived at the Spirit Domain, not only have we encountered any difficulties, but we have even felt that everything is going smoothly, don't you think this feeling is very strange?" Yu Lou's eyes flickered, and he analyzed unhurriedly, "Especially the attitude of the Spirit Domain Emperor, it really surprised me. Anything that is too easy to get is often not really yours. ”

Lu Yifan nodded undeniably and said: "This is like a war, the treasures of the city that others took the initiative to send to the door are indeed not as reliable as those that they brought back by themselves." ”

Yulou nodded vigorously and said, "That's right." ”

"Jade Tower. A ridiculous smile suddenly appeared on Lu Yifan's serious face, and he smiled meaningfully, "It won't be long before the Spirit Domain Leader is your father-in-law, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to be so suspicious of your future father-in-law, right?"

Hearing Lu Yifan say this, Yulou's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his originally solemn eyes became a little twisted. Yulou smiled and replied rather embarrassedly: "Human favor is human favor, and the right thing is the right thing, how can I delay our big thing for the sake of my children's private feelings?"

Lu Yifan looked at Yulou with appreciation, in fact, when Lu Yifan killed Yufeng, he already knew that Yulou was definitely not the kind of person who would affect the overall situation for the sake of personal affairs. On the contrary, if it is really a matter of life and death, then the ten ** of the Yulou will choose to kill their relatives in righteousness. In this way, Yulou is by no means a selfish person, but in a sense, he is actually a selfish performance.

Yulou is such a strange person, who has the stinginess of a businessman who only talks about the pros and cons of everything and does not distinguish between relatives and distances, but at the same time, he also has the fraternity of valuing love and righteousness, and is willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness. It is precisely because he has two completely different temperaments that Yulou is sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused and blind. In fact, Yulou is just an extreme manifestation of a person's two personalities, how can Lu Yifan not have the same complex feelings?

Lu Yifan saw that Yulou's face was flushed when he was ridiculed by himself, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "It's not a secret, I also have some doubts about this." First of all, I don't deny that the Spirit Domain Emperor loves Mu Dan's daughter, but at the same time, I can also see that the Spirit Domain Emperor is by no means as unassertive as he appears. On the contrary, I think that the Spirit Realm Emperor is as wise as a fool, and he is extremely smart. He won't fight with others, but he knows how to use the power technique of 'blocking is better than sparse', all of which seems to be making decisions by listening to other people's opinions, but in fact, everything will eventually achieve the goal he has in mind. ”

Yulou nodded and said, "I don't believe that His Majesty the Emperor will indulge all of Mu Dan's unreasonable demands because he loves Mu Dan, and even heedless to obey Mu Dan's advice and agree that we will set up a soul master in the spirit realm." No matter how much he said that he was also the leader of the Spirit Domain, he was the emperor who really held the power of the Spirit Domain, how could he be willing to watch the emergence of a soul master to divide his power? ”

Not only did he know, but he saw the whole thing clearly, even more than anyone else. Lu Yifan continued, "At this point, the Spirit Domain Emperor is more clever than the Beast Domain Emperor, the Beast Domain Emperor only tries to make up for it after he fails to resist, but the Spirit Domain Emperor is different, he took precautions from the beginning, and he didn't even resist at all, but took the initiative to guide us away." In doing so, he undoubtedly reduced a lot of unnecessary troubles and conflicts to the Spirit Realm. ”

Yulou smiled lightly: "Not opposing it doesn't mean agreeing, this is also something I've been pondering repeatedly in the past few days, since the Spirit Domain Leader doesn't agree with us to set up a soul master, then why does he pretend to be happy to agree? But then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that although my future father-in-law hid his thoughts very deeply, I still saw through what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yifan asked with interest.

"Yifan, do you know why he tried his best to keep Xiao Hongfei, the Spiritual Realm Sect Master?" Yulou asked mysteriously.

Lu Yifan pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that he wants to use Xiao Hongfei to contain me?"

"It's just a superficial intention. Yulou nodded, "But hidden under the superficial intentions are three real intentions. First, Xiao Hongfei's Three Holy Mountains overwhelmed the Spirit Mirror Valley and took away the peak position of the Spirit Mirror Valley in the Spirit Domain, and in doing so, they undoubtedly formed a deep hatred with the Spirit Domain royal family. But this time you came to kill Xiao Hongfei to avenge the disciples of the Soul Sect, His Majesty the Emperor not only did not applaud his hands, but also took the initiative to stand up and reconcile from it, and saved Xiao Hongfei's life in front of you. Second, the emperor's grace to Xiao Hongfei was indeed a life-saving thing, but while keeping Xiao Hongfei's position as the leader of the spiritual domain, he also agreed that we should set up a soul master in the spiritual domain, and used Mu Dan as an intermediary to announce the impression that Mu Dingyang and Lu Yifan had an excellent relationship with the world. On the surface, this move is to show us a compromise, but in fact, it is to secretly warn Xiao Hongfei to rein in his edge in the future, in the spiritual realm, he Xiao Hongfei must not cover the sky with one hand, at least the spiritual realm leader still holds a spiritual realm soul lord in his hand, which is a big bargaining chip, which is intended to demonstrate to Xiao Hongfei and the Three Holy Mountains. ”

"Envy and power, I did underestimate this Spirit Realm Emperor before. Lu Yifan nodded and smiled bitterly.

"And that's not all. Yulou continued, "Actually, his third intention is the most important thing. He pursued the advantages and avoided the disadvantages, and skillfully used the relationship between Mu Dan and you to make everything look like it would come naturally, without the slightest trace of deliberate carving, including the combination of grace and power on Xiao Hongfei, in fact, it was all for this ultimate purpose, that is, to join forces with Xiao Hongfei in the future, so that the Spirit Domain Emperor and the Sect Master would rule the Spirit Domain together, and also set up the Spirit Domain Soul Master we were going to set up, so that the Spirit Domain Soul Lord would become a puppet in name only, and we would not be able to find any excuse to fight back at that time. If at that time we really go back and seize power with them again, not only will it be difficult to succeed, but we will also force the Spirit Domain Emperor and the Sect Master to live and die together in the same boat, and the influence of the two of them is enough to call on the entire Spirit Domain to resist us to the death. ”

"Hiss!" Yulou's words came to this, and Lu Yifan suddenly realized that there was such a dangerous storm hidden under the seemingly calm surface. Lu Yifan looked at the Jade Tower with a solemn expression, and asked faintly, "This is also the reason why the Spirit Domain Leader wants to let Lord Zheng Qin go to the Three Holy Mountains with Mu Dan, right?"

"Yes!" Yulou nodded, "In order to take the opportunity to win over Xiao Hongfei and share the same hatred for us." Xiao Hongfei is by no means a fool to get to this point, the Spirit Realm Leader has already paved the steps for him to his feet, he must know what to do next. ”

"How to go?" Lu Yifan asked with squinted eyes.

"First entertain us with delicious food and drink, then swear to make peace with us, then greet the Spirit Realm Soul Lord with great interest, and finally send you away happily. Yulou said frankly word by word.

Yulou's voice fell, and Lu Yifan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, according to this, it seemed that he had taken the spiritual domain under his command, and it was impossible for the spiritual domain to be worshiped as the lord of the five domains. But now that he is about to go to the Three Holy Mountains, the wood is already in the boat, and he really can't think of any way to solve it.

"I didn't expect that I was cautious everywhere, but I still unknowingly fell into the trap set by the Spirit Realm Emperor. Lu Yifan said bitterly, "Mu Dingyang, the old fox, actually dripping through the stones, when I realized it later, the overall situation was decided, and it was too late to regret it." ”

"Yifan, you never know what the outcome will be until the end, and you don't have to be so frustrated. Yulou comforted.

"Yulou, what do you think about this matter?" After Lu Yifan was puzzled, he still put his hope on his think tank Yulou, and asked in a low voice, "Then should I go to these three holy mountains tomorrow or not?"

"You have already promised Xiao Liuyi, you can't help but go. Yulou said solemnly, "But I have already gotten some news from the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce's Nanling Academy. It turns out that the Three Holy Mountains are not monolithic, their great sect master Xiao Hongfei and the second sect master Bi Qing and the third sect master Yuan Tao seem to be in harmony, but in fact, there are many hidden contradictions, back then, ......" Yulou's words couldn't help lowering his voice a little, and said in a false voice, "Xiao Liuyi's mother was forced to death by Bi Qing and Yuan Tao back then. ”

Lu Yifan frowned, and said thoughtfully: "I was still thinking about why the person who came this time was Xiao Liuyi instead of their second or third sect master, but now I understand a little when I hear you say this." In the Three Holy Mountains, the only one who really cares about Xiao Hongfei's life and death is his own daughter, and in addition, the second sect master and the third sect master are already separated from him. ”

"If the message is true, it should be. Yulou nodded, "So I guess this matter must not be so simple, maybe there will be many variables after we arrive at the Three Holy Mountains." ”

"Could it be that their Second Sect Master and Third Sect Master don't want to see me and Xiao Hongfei release their old suspicions?" Lu Yifan asked in surprise, "Wouldn't it?" What good would it do for them if I fought to the death with Xiao Hongfei, and what good would it do to the Three Holy Mountains?"

Yulou shook his head undeniably, and said with a wry smile: "I can't guess this, we can't do anything now before we reach the Three Holy Mountains, we can only wait for the times to change." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Yifan nodded slowly with an ugly face, and said, "It seems that this is the only way." ”

"Yifan, who are you going to let take the position of the Soul Lord of the Spirit Domain?" Yulou changed his words and asked curiously, "Is there a suitable candidate?"

Lu Yifan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Fifth Master Zheng." ”

Yulou thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Fifth Master Zheng is originally a person from the Spirit Domain, and he has ruled the Two Realms Forest for more than 20 years, so there is nothing wrong with him being the Soul Master of the Spirit Domain." ”

"I have already sent a message back to Xihuang Mountain, and asked Zheng Wuye to rush directly to Sansheng Mountain to join us. Lu Yifan said, "Originally, I thought that the overall situation had been decided, but I just heard your analysis and felt that this matter was not so easy to succeed, alas!"

"Yifan, you don't have to worry too much, even if their second and third sect masters don't cause a change in the situation when they reach the Three Holy Mountains, I will find a way to reverse the trend at that time. Yulou easily reached out and patted Lu Yifan's shoulder, and comforted with a smile, "But before that, I want to ask you for something first." ”

"Something?" Lu Yifan looked at the Yulou with a mocking face in confusion, "What is ......it?

"You can't take this thing away, you can only agree to it yourself. Yulou pretended to smile mysteriously, "If you promise me, you will get it, if you don't promise, I won't get it anyway." ”

Lu Yifan pretended to complain and pouted and looked up and down at the Jade Building, and said, "You don't want to sell Guanzi, just say what you want, I will definitely agree." ”

Yulou nodded and said, "That's what you said, I want the power to make decisions on the fly." ”

"Adapting to the situation and making assertions?" Lu Yifan looked at Yulou suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"I guess that after the Three Holy Mountains, Xiao Hongfei will definitely take care of you in every way, and you will definitely have no time to take time to do other things, and if I think of any way to resolve the crisis at that time, I am afraid that I can't discuss it with you in time, then I ...... in a hurry."

"I understand!" Without waiting for Yulou to finish speaking, Lu Yifan happily agreed without hesitation, "When you get to the Three Holy Mountain, just do what you want to do, you don't need to tell me, I, Lu Yifan, will definitely support you." ”

"Is this true?" Yulou picked up the teacup and looked at Lu Yifan playfully, "You're not afraid that I will get into trouble?"

Lu Yifan laughed and said arrogantly: "Even if you pierce the sky in the Jade Tower, I Lu Yifan will bear it afterwards." You don't need to worry about anything, just let it go, as long as you can change this passive situation, all the consequences will be borne by me Lu Yifan. ”

Yulou and Lu Yifan looked at each other and smiled, and after clinking glasses, they replaced the wine with tea and drank it all.

......
