"What kind of cultivation realm can Gu Xu achieve in the future?"

This question was undoubtedly raised by Shi Lei for his daughter.

He knew that his daughter and Gu Xu were in love, and he also felt that Gu Xu's kid was really good, and his appearance, talent and character were impeccable. Among his peers, it should be difficult to find someone better than him.

There was only one thing that made Shi Lei hesitate.

That was Gu Xu's physical problem.

Unlike most of the powerful people of the Great Qi Dynasty, Shi Lei is not a person who puts interests first and will not use his daughter as a tool for marriage.

Other wealthy families who want to recruit Gu Xu as their son-in-law may not care too much about this matter - because if Gu Xu really succeeds in breaking through the seventh realm before the age of thirty, then they will have a saint-level powerhouse in their clan; If Gu Xu unfortunately dies young, they can also justifiably obtain Gu Xu's inheritance.

For them, it's a surefire deal.

But the question that Shi Lei thought about was: If that kid dies at the age of thirty, what will happen to his baby daughter? Wouldn't she be very upset? Who will accompany her and take care of her in the future?

Because of this, after thinking about it for a long time, Shi Lei decided to pay three thousand merits and ask Luo Sishou about Gu Xu's future.

Luo Sishou's heavenly deduction technique is vast, and he can cross the long river of time and gain insight into ancient and modern things, which must also solve Shi Lei's worries.

After writing, Shi Lei handed the note in his hand to Shangguan Jin.

"Please." He said.

Shangguan Jin took the note, his eyes lowered, and he did not respond immediately.

"Shangguan Langzhong, you think there should be nothing wrong with me asking a question like this, right?" Shi Lei frowned slightly and asked again.

Shangguan Jian finally raised his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now. ”

Then she pointed to the white porcelain teapot in front of her and asked politely, "Oh, by the way, Shi Qianhu, do you still need tea?" ”

"Thank you, no need," Shi Lei shook his head, "Look, my teacup is still full." ”

Shangguan Jin's behavior made Shi Lei feel a little strange.

Because just a moment ago, she had just poured a cup of tea for Shi Lei.

You must know that in Shi Lei's impression, Shangguan Hibiscus has always been a dignified, elegant, and meticulous person - she always has the most iconic smile on her face, her attitude towards people is always kind, and she can always handle the busy daily affairs of the Exorcism Division in an orderly manner. A problem like "absent-mindedness" is almost impossible for her to happen.

"Maybe she's been working too hard lately," Shi Lei secretly guessed, "Now that the 'Luoshui Conference' is coming, there must be too many things in the Exorcism Division that she needs to deal with." No matter how shrewd and capable she is, she is still a human being after all, and there will always be times when she will be tired and tired. ”

"Is there anything else you can help me with?" At this moment, Shangguan Jian asked again. Her voice remained the same as usual, polite, peaceful, and unadulterated with the slightest emotion.

"Nope."

"Then please wait here for a while, and I'll go and hand over your question to the head of the division."

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Jin left his seat, walked out of the room with a note, and walked towards the stargazing platform of the Exorcism Division's headquarters.

Shi Lei sat quietly in place, raised the teacup in front of him, and tasted the bitter and sweet Shiya white tea in the cup.

His mind had already flown out of the Exorcism Division's Yamen and drifted to the Longmen Academy near the Luohe River.

He couldn't help but think: At this point in time, Shi Xiaohan should be practicing sword techniques in the academy, right? I heard her say in the letter that the teacher who taught her the knife technique was very strict, and every day made her so tired that she didn't have time to reply to her letters......

Theoretically, it is undoubtedly a good thing for a practitioner to meet a strict teacher.

But deep down, Shi Lei felt very sorry for his daughter and didn't want her to suffer too much in the process of martial arts.

…………

About a quarter of an hour later, Shangguan returned to the room.

"Shi Qianhu, this is the answer that Lord Si Shou wrote to you," she sat opposite Shi Lei and handed an envelope to Shi Lei's hand with both hands, "The three thousand merits, I have ordered the relevant personnel to deduct them from your name." ”

"Thank you."

Shi Lei took the envelope and opened it.

I saw a snow wave note inside.

The handwriting on the note is vigorous and refreshing, majestic and natural, although it is not mixed with the slightest breath of true yuan, but it still makes Shi Lei feel a trace of mysteriousness.

So Shi Lei knew that this must have been written by the head of the department himself.

I saw that there were four big words simply written on it-

"Above the saints".

Shi Lei took a deep breath, and his palms were sweating inadvertently.

At the moment, his heart fluctuated.

It stands to reason that Gu Xu is expected to cultivate to the realm above the saint, which is a gratifying thing for him.

It's just that the weight of the words "above the saints" is too heavy. After all, in the vast territory of Great Qi, there are only five strong saints, and there is only one strong person in the True Monarch realm, Emperor Tianxing.

This undoubtedly means that that talented young man will become a giant that even he will look up to in the future.

At this time, Shi Lei turned the paper to the back again, and found that there was a line of small words written on the back of it: "The world is changing, and the sky is unpredictable." FYI, remember to remember. ”

Of course, Shi Lei can understand the meaning of this.

This is what the head of the division wants to warn him that the future will be confusing, and the results seen by the Heavenly Machine Technique may not be accurate, and he cannot completely rely on this result to make decisions.

He sat in the chair and was silent for a long time, sipping the stone cliff white tea in his cup, trying to calm his fluctuating mood.

When the teacup was empty, he slowly got up and said goodbye to Shangguan Jin.

"Slow down and don't send it!" Shangguan Jin smiled.

She watched Shi Lei leave the room and walk to the end of the corridor, then put away the cups on the table, turned around and continued to work on her work.

…………

After leaving the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, Shi Lei did not immediately return to the official post to rest, but walked on the busy streets of Luojing City on the bluestone slab bricks.

Subconsciously, he followed the address told to him by Steward Yang and came to the door of Gu Xu's pill workshop.

I saw that it was really as rumored, the door was like a market, and the household was limited to wear.

On the plaque of its lintel, there are three big characters written "Shouchangfang". Through its chic and flowing strokes, Shi Lei could imagine the young man's high-spirited appearance.

“…… Lord Gu recruited Shen Qiu, the son of the Shen family in Jinling, as a guest in the mansion and entrusted him to run this workshop. Shen Gongzi was in charge of managing the family business in Jinling before, and he was not only experienced, but also well-connected. In a very short period of time, the original stormy No. 6 workshop has become the thriving appearance it is now......"

Shi Lei remembered the description of Steward Yang in the letter.

And the name "Shouchangfang" also made Shi Lei think.

Others may think that the name is very cliché - like many shops in the Great Qi Dynasty, they like to find a few auspicious words and put them together.

But Shi Lei knows very well that "living a long life" is Gu Xu's obsession.

At this time, a lavishly decorated carriage slowly approached from the end of the street and stopped in front of the door of "Shouchangfang".

An old man dressed in brocade with a white beard stepped out of the carriage with a warm smile on his face and stepped into the workshop gate.

The old man didn't notice Shi Lei on the side of the road.

But Shi Lei recognized the identity of the white-haired old man - this person was Ni Jingxiang, the Marquis of Dongping of the Great Qi Dynasty, who was a hero who followed Emperor Taizu to pacify the world, and he could be described as a noble and distinguished family.

However, at this moment, this Dongping Marquis behaved without any arrogance, but greeted the handymen in the workshop kindly, looking quite familiar, and was obviously a frequent visitor here.

Seeing such a scene, Shi Lei remembered another description in Steward Yang's letter: "...... Lord Gu was extremely popular among the Luojing magnates, and many big people looked at his face and came to 'Shouchangfang' to place orders. There are even many people who want to marry him, and they will always come to the workshop to ask, 'Master Gu has ever been married'......"

He smiled and shook his head, then left the workshop and turned to walk across the street.

…………

At the same time, Longmen Academy.

After the morning knife class, Shi Xiaohan was exhausted as usual. She only felt that her body was like lead, so heavy that she didn't want to move, and her stomach was "growling", constantly pumping food cravings into her mind.

She instinctively followed the crowd and walked towards the dining hall in a daze.

However, at this time, a handyman came to her and said to her, "Miss Shi, there is a person outside the academy who wants to see you. ”

"Who is it?" Shi Xiaohan blurted out. At the same time, she guessed in her mind whether it would be Gu Xu's guy who came to her.

Now that the "Luoshui Conference" is coming, Gu Xu's guy is either staying at home to cultivate, or going to the Exorcism Division to deal with affairs and reading books, and he hasn't come to the academy for several days.

Sometimes, Shi Xiaohan wanted to write to him and ask him to go to Luoshui for a roast mutton meal.

But he was afraid of delaying his practice, so he didn't mention it for a long time, and just unilaterally confided in him about his daily life.

"He claims to be Shi Qianhu of Laizhou Mansion, your father." The handyman replied.

Shi Xiaohan's eyes widened slightly.

She was a little surprised, she didn't expect her father to come to the capital from Laizhou Mansion so soon after she sent the letter.

So, she temporarily suppressed her body's hunger and exhaustion, went to the gate of the academy, and met her father.

"Why are you here so soon?" She asked, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"It's not because I haven't seen you for too long, I want to see how you've been doing." Shi Lei bent down and looked at his daughter, his eyes full of concern.

At this moment, he does not have the majestic temperament of a five-grade official on weekdays, but is kind and smiling, no different from the father of ordinary people.

He paused for a moment, then took out a half-human-tall, bulging package from the storage magic weapon and handed it to Shi Xiaohan's hand.

"This is the 'Honey Three Knife' I brought from Laizhou Mansion," he said, "I remember you used to love it." ”

"Honey Three Knife" is a well-known dim sum in Jiaodong Mansion, which is very popular because of its bright and non-sticky, soft and sweet characteristics, and Shi Xiaohan used to have a soft spot for it when he was at home.

Before Shi Lei finished speaking, Shi Xiaohan snatched the package and held it in his arms - the petite girl was holding a big package, like a little squirrel holding a big pine cone.

The moment she smelled the sweet smell of the snack, her stomach once again "growled" uncontrollably.

As an only daughter who has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, Shi Xiaohan has always enjoyed her father's unconditional love. In front of her father, she has always behaved unrestrained and unscrupulous, and she never says words like "thank you".

I saw that she immediately sat on the edge of the steps, opened the package, took out a "honey three knives", couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth, and swallowed it in her stomach in three strokes and two times.

The corners of her mouth were soon covered with crumbs of snacks and sugar residues.

Of course, a mere "honey three knives" will definitely not be able to fill her stomach.

So she swallowed the second, the third, and the fourth......

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the snacks in the package were swept away by her, and there was nothing left.

But Shi Xiaohan still felt a little unsatisfied.

She licked the corners of her mouth: "Did you only bring so much?" ”

Shi Lei did not speak immediately.

The scene in front of him had already stunned him.

According to Shi Lei's original estimate, these "honey three knives" he brought should be enough for Shi Xiaohan to consume at least a month.

I didn't expect her to finish it in just a few minutes.

This is clearly beyond the scope of normal people. Even the cultivators who mainly cultivated the body method were far inferior to her in terms of appetite.

He couldn't help but suspect that it was not his daughter standing in front of him, but an ancient beast disguised as a human.

However, Shi Lei quickly threw this idea out of his mind.

Because he was in the "Heavenly Dragon Great Array" at this time - in the "Heavenly Dragon Great Array" created by Emperor Taizu, how could there be ghosts and fierce beasts?

"Look at you like this, you must have been practicing sword skills very hard lately!" He asked, "Did that teacher of yours teach you any new methods?" ”

He began to speculate whether Shi Xiaohan's sudden increase in appetite was due to the cultivation of new exercises or martial arts in the academy.

Shi Xiaohan shook his head: "No." Mr. Hu always told me to practice those basic moves over and over again, and then kept finding fault with me. ”

Shi Lei frowned, feeling a little strange.

But he pondered for a moment and decided to get down to business first.

"Actually, Xiao Han, I came to the capital ahead of schedule this time for another important purpose," he said a little seriously, "I want to help you talk about a family matter." ”

"Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Shi Xiaohan frowned and stood up from the steps, "This heroine cares about the people and doesn't want to delay the love of her children!" If you don't destroy the ghosts, this woman will never become a family! ”

"Don't refuse so quickly," Shi Lei smiled, "I haven't told you who the object is." ”

"Who is it?" Shi Xiaohan blinked, his thin and long eyelashes trembling slightly.
