24. Troublesome Problems [2nd Update]
24. Troublesome questions for the second more
At the same time that Lu Li and Luo Wei met, Lu Xin and Ouyang Jie finally arrived at Qiao's Mansion ().
This mansion has been lively all afternoon.
Even though it was late at night, the liveliness of Qiao's Mansion had not weakened in the slightest. It's just that for anyone who passes by Qiao's Mansion, it will only feel weird, because the people of the entire Qiao's Mansion actually set up a banquet directly in the front courtyard of the entrance to the mén, and looking at the delicacies on the table, it is obvious that no one has moved chopsticks at all, and those people have to change a new one every once in a while in order to ensure the freshness and heat of the food.
The dishes are still the same.
And the people sent by the Song family and the Li family had no intention of leaving late at night, so Qiao Yunfei had to arrange a side room for the people of the two families to live in. As for the gifts sent by the Ouyang family, they were finally accepted by Lu Xin, which made the housekeeper of the Ouyang family breathe a sigh of relief - he had really dealt with too many bloody things today, and he didn't want to be on the death list himself.
When Zhao Xin and Ouyang Jie came to the Qiao family's mansion, they met Qiao Yunfei and Lu Xin and some other members of the Qiao family. Of course, the future heir of the Li family and the youngest grandson of the current head of the Song family, Song Xi's second NV, is also a little beauty embryo with a marriage contract with the Qiao family.
For Ouyang Jie, many people present are no strangers, after all, he is Lu Xin's son.
However, when they saw Zhao Xin also appear, everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that the youngest Sun NV of Zhao Zhong, the town of China, would also follow. But soon, these people all came back to their senses and stepped forward to greet each other, and Zhao Xin also took everyone's faces into his eyes one by one.
As smart as she saw Lu Xin appear in Qiao's mansion, she understood a lot of things.
Seeing his son come back, Lu Xin hurriedly greeted him: "Why are you back, where is your uncle?"
Ouyang Jie's face was also a little strange: "Uncle said that there is something to deal with, just let Zhao Xin and I come to Qiao's Mansion, and he said that he will rush back later." ”
At this time, Lu Xin turned his head and looked at Zhao Xin.
Through the conversation just now, Zhao Xin knew that the NV in front of him was Lu Li's sister and Ouyang Jie's mother, and he smiled and said, "Hello aunt, I'm Zhao Xin." ”
Zhao Xin did not mention her identity as the county lord, nor did she mention her father Zhenguohou, she completely looked like a junior.
For the major families, they naturally saw through the mystery at a glance, after all, they are all characters who are in the dynasty, if they don't have a few catties and a few taels and some knowledge, how can they afford the name of the seven great families? It's just that these people don't know that Zhao Xin has already favored Ouyang Jie himself, and they are more accustomed to thinking that Zhao Xin will be like this, and it must be inseparable from Lu Li, but when they think of their current situation, many people remain silent about this situation.
This is the Maison's philosophy.
In the ensuing greetings, Zhao Xin also remembered his identity as a junior, and did not make any outrageous moves, which made the major families secretly marvel that they were worthy of being the grandson of Zhao Houye, and also won a high enough impression score in Lu Xin's eyes.
However, this kind of greeting did not last long, and Lu Li returned.
Looking at Lu Li with a smile on his face, no one knew that not long ago, he had a hand with a person in the suburbs of Bai Yicheng just now, and he also released the flame of red lotus all over the mountains. At this moment, some of the tall buildings in Bai Yù City, you can still see the fire burning in the suburbs from a distance, and even a small group of cavalry has left from the city to check out, but all this has nothing to do with Lu Li.
This guy has always been the master of killing or buriing, and every time he solves something, someone else helps him wipe his ass.
Like the slaughter of the Zhang family before, it was Taohua who helped him wipe his ass - if he hadn't immediately repaired the letter to Xia Na and asked her to help block the news, I was afraid that before Lu Li entered the Taiyi mén, the entire cultivation world would know about his Ye Xuan's rebirth.
When Lu Li returned, the long-awaited luncheon finally began - even if it was evening at the moment, this meal was still counted as a luncheon, which meant that there would inevitably be a dinner later. On the dinner table, in addition to polite greetings or polite greetings, occasionally mixed with some of the situations of everyone in recent years, but basically the situation is what others say and Lu Li is listening, so everyone can see that Lu Li is a little worried.
In fact, for Lu Li, even if the Xuanwu Palace really sent an elder over, he was not afraid. Because Xuanwu Palace, as one of the six famous méns, even if he really wants to establish his authority and wash away his shame, he can only settle accounts with him, and it is impossible to really go to Ouyang Jie and Lu Xin for trouble, or in the cultivation world, it is impossible for many mén sects to do such a thing that violates morality ().
But Luo Wei, who has fallen into the ghost path, is different.
Only his threat can really make Lu Li care.
Although he himself admitted that he had not really cultivated a hundred ghosts, Lu Li didn't know how many ghost bodies he had cultivated. According to his understanding of the exercises of the Ghost Domain, every hundred pairs of male nv boys can be trained into a ghost body, through what he talked about with him before, Lu Li already knew that the war between the Bai Yù Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty broke out, and it was he Luo Wei who made the ghost, and his only purpose was naturally to use this war to obtain a large number of dead corpses to cultivate the "Hundred Ghost Formula".
Judging from the content, Lu Li can roughly guess that Luo Wei must have obtained a lot of boy and boy NV from these two dynasties, but the specific number is really impossible to understand. Maybe he could ask the emperor or minister of the Bai Dynasty about the results, but how many boys and boys did the Sheng Qing Dynasty give to Luo Wei after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty may really be a dead account.
And with this in mind, how could Lu Li have a pleasant meal?
If Luo Wei's perversion is not solved for a day, Lu Li will not be able to leave the Bai Dynasty for a day.
And this time, he left Taiyi Mén and began to travel in the Tian Yuan Continent, and it was not just a matter of wandering around.
There may not be much to do in the short term, but once Su Jue is out of the customs, the trip to the Valley of the Kings will be on the agenda. And in addition to begging for Su Yue, he also needs to prepare those things to save Xia Longyin - Lu Li has never forgotten that he can have today, all thanks to Xia Longyin's teaching, for his first master, of course, Lu Li must be rescued no matter what.
Isn't it just to work so hard to cultivate and constantly break through the realm between life and death to make yourself more confident when collecting these materials?
As for taking Lu Xin and Ouyang Jie back to Taiyi, Lu Li thought about it for a while, and then completely gave up this idea ().
Here in the Bai Dynasty, Lu Xin at least has relatives and friends, and her life is stable and happy. But if she goes to Taiyi, she can only live alone, maybe Su Yue, Xiao Yiyi and others will visit her and chat with her, but both of them are cultivators, and they can't accompany Lu Xin forever.
Cultivators and mortals are, after all, different groups of people living in two worlds. They may occasionally have a jiāo set, but this jiāo set is only for a very short moment, and then they will continue to move forward like two parallel lines, without interfering with each other.
After the meal, Zhao Xin quickly said goodbye, she had a lot of content to tell her grandfather.
Zhao Zhong, the candidate of the town country, no longer needs to guard the frontier now.
And Li Yingming, the future heir of the Li family, also resigned.
This young man is the young man of the Li family who sent Lu Li back to Coldwater City on Qianyue Island. His talent is not very outstanding, although after the Bai Yù Dynasty annexed the Shengqing Dynasty, even with the dynasty's luck, but this kind of luck and blessing will not affect people like him who have already cultivated a little, and when the war broke out between the Bai Yù Dynasty and the Shengqing Dynasty, he did not go into battle to kill the enemy, and now it is probably very difficult to break through the immortal realm.
It's just that he has shown an extremely outstanding and keen talent in business, and the entire Li family's maritime merchant fleet is already a well-known maritime merchant under his operation. It can be said that the Li family can now become the richest man in the Bai Dynasty, all thanks to this business genius.
After this "luncheon", the only ones left were the little grandson of the head of the Song family, Song Xi's second NV, and Song Yùmin.
She and one of Qiao Yunfei's sons have already been engaged, so they almost chose an auspicious day for a wedding banquet.
This little beauty embryo has a very outstanding cultivation talent, but unfortunately, her cultivation talent is not a martial vein, but a dao vein. However, here in the Bai Yù Dynasty, there were no cultivators of the Dao lineage, so naturally they could not teach Song Yù Min anything. At the age of eighteen this year, she had already cultivated to the ninth realm of the Innate Realm, and she did not enter the Xuanwu Palace Academy to take classes, but began to take over the affairs of the family, although she did not handle it very well, but compared to many of her peers, it was already very rare ().
At this moment, after hearing that Lu Li was entering the Dao vein of Taiyi Mén, Song Yimin had the idea of apprenticeship.
So at this moment, she and Ouyang Jie followed Lu Li to the other courtyard that Qiao Yunfei had prepared for him.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Song Yimin knelt down, and even wanted to kowtow to Lu Li and ask for an apprenticeship.
But how could he, who had long known Song Yùmin's thoughts, let her kowtow this head? A gentle force always supported Song Yùmin, so that she couldn't kowtow this head at all.
"I can't take you as a disciple. Lu Li said directly, "But if you are willing to wait a few more years, I can introduce you to a person who is really the most suitable person to teach you spells." ...... It's just that I can't guarantee that he'll take you as an apprentice. ”
"The younger generation has wasted so many years, and now that there is hope, it doesn't hurt to wait a few more years. Song Yimin said sincerely, "Even if that senior is unwilling to accept me as an apprentice, then all this is fate, and I can only appoint it." ”
"In that case, you should go back first, and I'll tell you when he gets out." ”
After finally sending Song Yimin away, Lu Li finally had time to check on his nephew, although the final result did not make him very satisfied, but at least it was not too bad: "In the future, you don't have to go to the Xuanwu Palace Academy, as for the things that the academy taught you, you have forgotten all about it, and you will learn swordsmanship with me from tomorrow." Our Lu family's sword trick of listening to the wind can't be lost. ...... Although I would love to let you change your surname to Lu, if your mother refuses, forget it. ”
Ouyang Jie looked surprised: "Uncle, you can also do swordsmanship, aren't you cultivating Dao arts?"
"Your uncle and I are geniuses, what I can't do!"
......
