At the city gates.

Xia Qiu and Bi Luo watched Li Wuji's sudden move of picking up the county lord, their eyes widened in surprise, and they didn't know whether to step forward to stop it for a while.

As people who grew up with the county lord, they knew that the county lord had never had such a borderless intimate contact with any man!

"What are you doing?!"

"Put me down!"

Ling Yuyan's face was flushed, she didn't dare to look at Li Wuji's eyes, and said coquettishly.

Li Wuji's sudden action startled her, and her whole heart was pounding at this moment, almost popping out of her throat.

"Don't be reckless, I'll send you back."

Li Wuji didn't care about it, and while talking in a deep voice, he walked towards the carriage of the county lord's mansion with Ling Yuyan in his arms.

Xia Qiu and Bi Luo were stunned for a long time, but finally came back to their senses and hurriedly followed.

"Wait a minute."

After Li Wuji put Ling Yuyan in his arms on the wheel, he whispered, and then turned around and walked towards his carriage.

Ling Yuyan sat on the wheel, looking at Li Wuji's back, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to do.

"Senior, junior has some things to deal with, please wait a while, junior will let you send you to my house first, I will rush back as soon as possible."

Li Wuji came to his carriage, bowed, and said apologetically to the old man Wuji in the carriage.

"Go, young man."

The old man Wuji responded with a slight smile from the carriage.

Although he had been sitting in the carriage and had never shown up, everything that had just happened had not been hidden from his eyes.

"Thank you, senior."

Li Wuji said respectfully, turned around and returned to Ling Yuyan's side.

"Girl, can you please lead the way for them, send them back to the Hou Mansion, and tell the people of the Hou Mansion that I will be there in a moment, and there are distinguished guests sitting in the car."

Li Wuji looked at Biluo and said slowly.

Bi Luo frowned and looked at Ling Yuyan who was still sitting on the wheel.

But at this time, Ling Yuyan already seemed to have lost her soul, and there was only Liwuji in her eyes.

"Don't worry, with me, no one can hurt your county lord."

Li Wuji said categorically.

Bi Luo nodded hesitantly, turned around and took the two disciples of the Wuji Sect, and drove in the direction of leaving the Anhou Mansion.

"What? Are you still waiting for me to carry you in? ”

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, who was staring at him in front of him, and asked softly in a joking voice.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan's face swelled red, and she hurriedly got up and got into the carriage, no longer caring about whether her legs and feet were numb.

Li Wuji smiled, jumped into the carriage with ease, and then stepped into the carriage.

Xia Qiu hesitated for a moment, sat on the wheel, and drove the carriage back to the county lord's mansion.

Along the way, Xia Qiu always pricked up his ears and focused with all his energy, paying attention to the movement in the carriage, as if he always wanted to hear something.

After a long time, Li Wuji finally personally sent Ling Yuyan back to the county lord's mansion.

"I'm sorry, it's all Qiu'er's mouth that delayed your business."

After Ling Yuyan got out of the car, she bowed apologetically and said embarrassedly.

"Don't blame her, if it weren't for her, how would I know that you waited at the city gate for half a day."

"Don't work so hard next time, someone will also feel sorry for you."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan and said with a serious face.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan's cheeks turned crimson again, and she turned her head and trotted towards the mansion, forgetting to even say a word of goodbye.

Li Wuji watched Ling Yuyan quickly disappear from his sight, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a satisfied smile that had never appeared before.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind him, and Lu Yuan didn't know when he would appear.

"Childe, the ten disciples that Yue Lingyao left in the city have all been cleared."

Lu Yuan saluted respectfully and said in a low voice, not only was his face expressionless, but even his voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Got it."

Li Wuji nodded and said lightly.

Now for him, the important thing is no longer his grudge with the Lingyao Sword Sect, but the Wuji old man who suddenly appeared and had to say that he was his apprentice!

…

Away from Anhou Mansion.

Backyard atrium.

"I'm sorry senior, I've kept you waiting."

With the words, the belated Li Wuji finally rushed back to the house.

At this time, it was already dark, and the lights were on, and the Hou Mansion was also lit up.

"It's okay, I've been waiting for ten years, and it's not a little while."

Old Man Wuji sat at the table, stroked his beard, and said with a smile on his face.

Li Wuji smiled and slowly sat down opposite the old man Wuji.

Cao Zi'an hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Li Wuji.

During the period when Wuji didn't come back, Cao Zi'an stayed aside and served.

Dillon and Pang Xiaoxiao were now outside, looking at Li Wuji in the hall from afar, their faces full of joy.

Leaving Wuji to come back safe and sound, the Hou Mansion was all very excited.

"Ten years? I don't understand the meaning of the seniors. ”

"Why did you suddenly come to your aid in the Purple Maple Forest today, and claim to be your personal disciple? As far as I know, today is the first time that my predecessors and my next generation have met. ”

"Could it be that you are also a member of the family teacher Pang Xun?"

Li Wuji looked at the old man Wuji in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression.

"You guessed right, it is indeed related to the national teacher, but the old man is not his person, and the reason why he appears today is only because of a promise made back then."

Old Man Wuji smiled and said slowly, as if he remembered some past events at the same time.

"Please also ask the seniors to tell the truth and listen to you."

Li Wuji arched his hand and said seriously.

"When the national teacher followed the emperor to conquer the world, he was kind to the Wuji Sect, and the Wuji Sect was not as prosperous as it is now."

"But the old man has always remembered this feeling, and once said that one day he will repay it."

"Ten years ago, the national teacher personally went to Wuji Sect and begged Lao Yu to save you from fire and water at all costs in the future, and Lao Yu agreed."

"It's just that I soon heard that he took you to heaven, and so far, it's a matter of fact."

"It's been ten years, and this love has finally been returned."

Old Man Wuji reminisced and spoke slowly.

After listening to the old man Wuji's explanation, the surprise in Wuji's heart couldn't be dispersed for a long time.

He didn't expect that Pang Xun's plan ten years ago would be so unbelievable.

Could it be that the old man had already predicted ten years ago that sooner or later I would have a grudge against the Lingyao Sword Sect?!

Thinking of this, Li Wuji couldn't help but feel a little chill down his spine.

"The favor has been returned, the old wish is gone, and the stone in my heart can finally be put down."

Old Man Wuji stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

"I see."

"Today's events must be remembered and grateful."

Li Wuji hugged his fists and said with a serious face.

Although he may not lose a battle with Yue Lingyao, the appearance of Old Man Wuji did help him eliminate a crisis, which he admits and is grateful.

"The national teacher didn't misunderstand you, your rumors, the old man also heard some of them, and it was really terrifying."

"But in the whirlpool of this capital, many times I am afraid that I can't help myself, and I hope you will be more careful, don't waste the high hopes that the national teacher has placed on you."

The old man Wuji looked at Li Wuji and said sincerely.

"Thank you seniors for mentioning it, and I understand it below."

"However, since it's just to fulfill the promise, why do the seniors say that Zai Xia is the candidate for the next sect master of the Wuji Sect?"

"Is this too hasty?"

Li Wuji thanked him, and then asked tentatively.

"Little doll, in front of the old man, you can say it, there is no need to beat around the bush, the old man doesn't like it!"

Old Man Wuji chuckled, pretending to be dissatisfied and looked at Li Wuji and reprimanded.

After listening to this, Li Wuji couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"That's it, this may be your own way of survival, if you don't have a few eyes, I'm afraid you won't be alive now."

Old Man Wuji waved his hand and said with a sigh.

"Thank you seniors for your forgiveness."

Li Wuji said gratefully, for the question just now, he didn't dare to test again, and kept silent.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"If you say that you are the next sect master of the Wuji Sect, it is not that you are an old man, among the younger generations, you can also be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people, and you are different."

"Although the disciples of the old decay sect are all over the world, most of them are pedantic, and compared to you, there is indeed a world of difference."

"Originally, the old man was still hesitant before he came, but since I met you, the old man has already made up his mind, and your status as the emperor and grandson of the previous dynasty is also fully qualified to become the future sect master of the Wuji Sect."

"But it's just a candidate, it's not that you have to do it, whether you can do it depends on your own creation."

The old man Wuji looked at Li Wuji and said seriously, the corners of his mouth gradually revealing a meaningful smile.

Listening to the old man Wuji's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he didn't dare to show too much.

If there is Wuji Sect as a backing, then there will be a deeper guarantee for his future path, at least the empress will not attack herself easily.

Even, because of the existence of the Wuji Sect, he will be more at home in the capital in the future...
