Chapter 299: An affectionate confession from an old fritter
"It's my honor to be able to help Brother Lu, if Brother Lu has any questions that can't be solved, just tell me to my brother, I will know that everything is endless." Venerable Teng Lei patted his chest on the mountain.
"Brother should know that in order to better defend Xiaoyao City, I am sparing no effort to catch the traitor, so as not to be joined by the Ma family. But it didn't go well, and I didn't hesitate to offend all the friends left behind to gather you together. I think my brother will definitely find something to find out when I get along with them during this time, and I need my brother to help me scrutinize and see if there are any abnormal people and things, so as to help me eliminate the internal enemy as soon as possible and concentrate on fighting the external enemy. For someone like Venerable Tenglei, Lu Yi changed his way of talking again.
Venerable Teng Lei is worthy of being an old fritter, "Brother Lu, you are too worried, in fact, the old man can understand Brother Lu's good intentions very well, you are actually protecting us." Those of us who stayed behind truly regarded the city as our home, and we were determined to protect our own homeland from being violated, and we even did not hesitate to fight the powerful Ma family. But the Ma family is a big clan in the Eastern Regions after all, I know that the power of our small scattered cultivators can't shake people at all, you do this, you just don't want us to suffer harm in the war, or you don't want the Ma family to find us trouble in the future, I can still understand this, old brother. ”
Venerable Teng Lei did not betray anyone, but analyzed the problem from Lu Yi's point of view first by advancing and retreating.
Lu Yi was shocked, this guy said this, didn't he say the excuse he had come up with, then he would stop his mouth.
"Brother, let me ask you, it seems that everyone's mood is a little restless these days, there must be some kind of misunderstanding in this, but it is not excluded that someone is taking the opportunity to do something, can you tell me what the cause of this incident is, and who provoked it first?" In the face of this kind of old fritter pretending to be confused, Lu Yi must make his words clear directly, so that he can't avoid it.
Sure enough, Lu Yi's straightforward question made Venerable Teng Lei a little stunned, but it didn't stump him, "Brother, I really don't know the beginning of this matter, it is said that it was from a few unknown juniors who drank and said angry words, and then shouted out the slogan of either fight or go, or don't be so aggrieved and locked up, and then it resonated, quickly spread among the spiritual monks, and finally reached the ears of a few of our old guys." However, we old people understand the good intentions of our brothers, so we did not express our support for them, but it is not good to stand up against anything, so we can only let this talk be brought to your subordinates by them, and finally spread to you. But this is only what I have heard, and it is not a true information, let alone an accurate person for you. ”
"What do you think I should do, brother? Interpretation? I estimate that nine times out of ten it won't work, and it's impossible for everyone to really go and do it with the Ma family, do you really want to let everyone leave Xiaoyao City? As soon as Lu Yi heard this, he understood that it was impossible to get words from Venerable Teng Lei's mouth, so he immediately changed the topic and continued to test him.
"Brother, you're making it difficult for me." Venerable Teng Lei spread his hands, "Originally, I planned to die of old age and not leave Xiaoyao City, but now I am being troubled by these little guys, in fact, I am also a little distressed now, and I don't know where to go." They all said that you are resourceful, brother, and I want to wait for you to come up with an idea, so you should ask my brother and me first. ”
"I really didn't expect that you have such feelings for our Xiaoyao City, brother, what is so good about Xiaoyao City, it attracts you so much?" Lu Yicai didn't believe that this old fox would have such a great sense of belonging to Xiaoyao City, and there were great doubts that he could stay.
"I am a casual cultivator, although I have been lucky enough to succeed in spiritual building, but I don't have much real talent and learning, I always have a very low self-esteem when interacting with other spiritual monks, and I am afraid that people will see that I am an embroidered pillow, for this reason, I have traveled countless places and have not been able to settle down. By chance, I came to Xiaoyao City, and found that this is a gathering place for loose cultivators, and it is also protected by the Xiaoyao League, which is also formed spontaneously by loose cultivators, and the life of the loose cultivators is very good, so I came up with the idea of settling here. Brother, you also know that it is very difficult for a casual cultivator to succeed in spiritual cultivation, so as a casual spiritual cultivator, I have been admired by those scattered spiritual cultivators here, which gives me a great sense of accomplishment. I'm also happy to help them solve some small problems, so as to get more recognition, I can be very prosperous in the city, I have regarded this place as my feng shui treasure. Over time, I have grown to like the city, and I have decided to settle down in the city, and I will never allow anyone to trample on my home, let alone ruin the image I have worked so hard to build. Suddenly, Venerable Teng Lei actually came to an affectionate confession, which stunned Lu Yi.
