Chapter 16 Listening to the Wind in the Building
Knowles' West Mansion is still located on the big island where Li Hui came ten years ago.
Now that the five mansions of the Knowles family are united, the head of the family is the lord of the West Mansion of the year, so the power of the West Mansion has also increased greatly. But the mansion didn't look like it had changed.
It's just that the security outside the mansion is even more strict, and when it is still a few miles away from the gate of the mansion, there is a team composed of foundation building monks, and the patrol team with the foundation building period spirit beasts is on guard.
When Lou Suifeng and Li Hui were still a few miles away from Xifu, they stopped flying, but landed and walked over. Along the way, the patrolling monks saluted the building. When approaching Xifu, Li Hui felt several powerful divine senses sweeping over him.
When I came last time, my cultivation was still low, but this time I came over, and I felt the unfathomable depth of this Lou clan's Xifu.
The two chatted all the way into Nasifu.
This Knowles' West Mansion is extremely majestic, and the courtyard is heavy, I don't know how deep it is.
The land of Xiazhou is very different from Chuzhou, these family lords are not like ordinary monks, living in the blessed land of famous mountains, not eating fireworks in the world, but like the princely homes in the world. The difference is that here are all cultivators who absorb the aura of heaven and earth and have all kinds of supernatural powers, although there are thirty-seven cities, there are no half mortals.
In fact, in this dangerous place, in the great Ze full of demon beasts, mortals can't gain a foothold at all.
After the two entered the house, Lou Suifeng seemed more comfortable, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Finally home!"
Li Hui's heart moved, it seems that the young master of the Lou family is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface. The feeling of having to deal with the admiring or fearful gaze of others all the time is not pleasant. As a child of a family, he is destined not to be as free as Li Hui.
"Let's go, I'll take you to my courtyard, and after today, I'll have someone arrange a separate courtyard for you to cultivate, so that no one can disturb you. After sighing lightly, Lou Suifeng quickly came back to his senses and looked at Li Hui beside him with a smile.
"Thank you!" Li Hui said solemnly.
This was not half hypocritical, he fled from Ziwei City in a hurry, he didn't know where to stay, and even planned to do penance in that Daze. At this moment, it is very good to have a place to cultivate with peace of mind.
"Hey, between you and me, say these things to do. Lou Suifeng waved his hand and said slightly unhappily.
Li Hui smiled indifferently and said no more.
The two of them walked through the courtyard together towards the depths of the mansion.
"Since the unification of the five provinces, the original provinces have also been retained, but they all have to obey the orders of the Council of Elders and the patriarch, and it is no longer the same scattered situation as before, and the power of the five provinces has also expanded a lot. ”
"After my father became the head of the family, he tried his best to promote reform, and in addition to these direct disciples, he also cultivated a lot of peripheral forces, but these peripheral forces are different from the outer disciples of the Lou family, they are considered to be the forces under the command of my Lou family, but they are not disciples, these forces are led by the five mansions of the Knowles family, and each has different functions. ”
"These peripheral forces will also be provided by my Lou family with cultivation resources and cultivation exercises, they must be completely loyal to the Lou family, and those who have merit can get some spirit stones and cultivation exercises, our Lou family's collection may not be as good as that Ziwei Palace, but the accumulation of countless generations is not trivial, so there are also a large number of monks to join. ”
Li Hui nodded, the move of the Heart Dao Lou family was almost exactly the same as the method used by the Ziwei Palace to establish the Heavenly Machine Guard and the Divine Wind Camp.
And the Lou family took advantage of the chaos ten years ago and took the land of Nine Cities into their pockets in one fell swoop, such a powerful strength is naturally not achieved overnight, and the establishment of peripheral forces is probably going on in secret for a long time.
The two of them walked through the heavy courtyards and continued to go deeper into the Western Mansion. And every time they pass through a gate, there are teams of monks in charge of guarding, and there are even Jindan monks hidden in the shadows who are monitored by their divine sense. The deeper you go, the more heavily guarded you become.
At this moment, as soon as he passed through the fourth gate, Li Hui felt no less than five powerful divine senses sweeping through his body.
This Knowles' West Mansion seems to be calm, but it is no less than any dangerous place, it is like a net of heaven and earth. Although he was accompanied by the wind, Li Hui still felt depressed.
Lou Suifeng noticed Li Hui's expression, and said with a wry smile: "Now that my Lou family is at war with the Ziwei Palace, and they are competing for Xiazhou, they have to be more vigilant. ”
"Brother, you're back!"
Just as Li Hui was about to speak, he heard a crisp voice coming from inside, like a jade bead falling on a plate, and the yellow warbler crying softly, indescribably lively and smart.
Then I saw a green shadow flash, and a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old in a water-green dress rushed out from inside, grabbed Lou Suifeng's sleeve, and shouted affectionately.
Lou Suifeng smiled slightly, his face showed a little warmth, he looked at the girl in front of him dotingly, stretched out his hand and rubbed two handfuls on her head: "Little girl, have you practiced well at home in the past two days?"
"You still say, I don't bring anyone with me when I run out to play, and I won't pay attention to you in the future!" The little girl's face changed instantly, and she threw the building away with the wind in anger, and her big smart eyes were full of grievances.
Lou Suifeng was stunned for a moment, and then grinned: "Okay, okay, my father asked me to run errands this time, and I didn't go to the mountains and rivers, okay if I came back this time to take you out to play?"
The girl instantly became happy, jumped up like a kitten, hugged Lou Suifeng's neck and kissed her: "It's better to be a brother, I'm about to get sick in this house." ”
Lou Suifeng suffered this sudden attack, and his face was a little shocked, but then he laughed, took the hand of the girl who was still playing, turned slightly to the girl and said, "It's not a big laugh, let the guests laugh." Said and smiled apologetically at Li Hui.
Only then did the little girl who jumped out notice Li Hui beside Lou Suifeng, and turned her head, her face flushed slightly, like two red apples, which looked even more cute and moving.
Li Hui's gaze swept over the girl.
This girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a water-green long skirt, but her head is tied with a green rope with a slanted braid, her face has a bit of girlish innocence and childishness, and her facial features are exquisite, especially a pair of smart big eyes are flashing at Li Hui at this time, with a slight shy flush on her face, which makes people feel more agile and jumpy.
Just standing there, it is like a deer jumping on the grass after the early spring rain, bringing a fresh vitality.
Seeing this girl, Li Hui couldn't help but become happy, as if bathed in a warm spring breeze, so he smiled at the girl: "Hello, I'm Li Hui." ”
The girl looked at Li Hui, but recovered from a little shyness at the beginning, a pair of smart eyes flashed and couldn't help but look up and down, and suddenly jumped up: "You are Li Hui, I have heard my brother say that you are his best friend many times, and you are his best friend, I can see you today, hehe, you look very handsome!"
Li Hui was stunned, but he didn't expect this cute girl, who was still a little shy girl, to be so bold at this time, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to smile slightly awkwardly.
Lou Suifeng was also a little embarrassed, but quickly reacted: "Ahem, don't you want your brother when you see a handsome guy......?"
Li Hui heard what Lou Suifeng said, but his head was even bigger, but he didn't expect this guy to make his own jokes seriously, and his face was even more embarrassed.
The girl smiled "poof", but she grabbed Lou Suifeng's arm again, and said coquettishly: "Of course my brother is the most handsome." As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Li Hui.
At this moment, Li Hui was completely confused by this ghost girl and didn't know what to say, and sighed to himself in his heart, he was also a cultivator in the foundation building period, and he was thirty years old, but he was at a loss in front of a little girl...... Ahem, it's so old.
Lou Suifeng saw Li Hui's embarrassment, but he smiled, pulled the girl's arm, and smiled at Li Hui: "Let you see and laugh, this is Sister Lou Tingfeng, the family has always been used to this girl, so some are not big or small." ”
"Lou listens to the wind!" Li Hui's heart moved slightly, but he thought of the elegant house that Lou Suifeng entertained him last time was called Tingfeng Xuan, and it seemed that it had something to do with the girl in front of him.
As soon as Lou Suifeng's voice fell, the little girl hurriedly spoke: "Brother Li, I am Lou Tingfeng, you want to play with me in the future." ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Lou Suifeng's face, but he pulled the little girl with a smile: "Little sister, Brother Li doesn't have time to play with you." ”
Hearing Lou Suifeng's words, the little girl suddenly became unhappy, her little face sank, her eyes sparkled, almost tears flashed, and she said with grievances: "My father and mother often don't see anyone, even my brother is often not around, no one plays with me, my brother has a friend, but I don't even have a playmate." There was a bit of crying behind him.
Lou Suifeng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he almost wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, just pulled his little sister in his arms with love and pity.
Li Hui's heart moved slightly, a wealthy family like the Lou family, with a prominent family background and outstanding status, was born in such a family, although he was born with much better conditions than the monks outside, but the height was unbearable. The children of these families also have more to bear.
Just like Lou Suifeng, you must not only bear the heavy responsibility of the family, but also win a place in this family, behave externally, naturally rain and shine, but also step by step when you come back to the family. Although there are many children in the clan, it is too late to intrigue, where can there be any confidants?
And outside, these children of the family undoubtedly have to show the bearing that a big family should have, and put on the posture of a superior. How many friends can I make?
It is because the building intersects with Li Hui with the wind, so he cherishes it and treats each other with sincerity.
Thinking of this, Li Hui's heart was slightly hot, but he smiled and said, "It's okay, the little sister who listens to the wind can often come to me to play." ”
"Really?" the little girl who was full of grievances just now jumped up quickly.
"Then Brother Li will take me to Xiaoyao Island!"
