Chapter Twenty-Four: A War of Words
"The family affairs of the Jade Rabbit family, outsiders have to interfere!" Zhou Dunru reacted first, stretched out his hand and poked Elder Li Xiuyuan, who was still looking at Li Chengzhu licking his lips, jumped out, and said in a sonorous voice, but after Boss Li stirred up like this, Elder Zhou was a little lacking in qi no matter how he said it.
The hard work on his side is also to curry favor with the master, so that the Jade Rabbit clan can stay out of the situation when they are in danger. The master could not see it, and the two elders were no longer in the scope of consideration.
Li Xiuyuan's old face turned red, he lost his temper, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, you also said it, this is the family matter of our Jade Rabbit family, when will it be your turn to speak?"
"Ambiguous, don't be in a hurry. Li Chengzhu scratched his smile and turned his head to look at the old lady: "Well, what do you call it?"
"Bold, how can you ask the name of the Holy Mother?" Zhou Dunru was determined to fight against Li Chengzhu, no matter what he said, he had to intervene, Li Xiuyuan hurriedly helped on the side.
"It's okay!" Our Lady suppressed the protests of the two elders, looked at Li Chengzhu kindly, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since anyone asked me my name, and I've almost forgotten it." I remember calling Shui Yu'er. ”
As soon as these words came out, Boss Li shivered from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
A wrinkled grandmother tells you that her girlfriend's name is Shui Yu'er, which is really funny. Fortunately, Li Chengzhu had a strong psychological endurance, and after being slightly stunned, he returned to his demeanor, and smiled at the Holy Mother: "Senior Shui, this, how can you say that this brother and I are also guests, isn't it inconvenient for us to stand and talk?
"Huh?" the Virgin was stunned, and turned her head to see that all the hall was standing except for her, who was sitting and kneeling like smoke.
The old grandmother pretended to pat her forehead and said with a wry smile: "Hey, I'm confused." The Jade Rabbit clan has not had visitors for a long time, and they have even forgotten the most ordinary hospitality, and the two fairy friends forgive their sins. Come on, give the two fairy friends a seat. ”
There was an answer from outside the door, and then two women moved lightly, and came with two chairs made of bamboo and rattan shapes, which were placed a little below the Virgin, symmetrical to the left and right.
"Please sit down, two fairy friends, hey, it's old, it's useless. The old grandmother looked weak and heartbroken.
Boss Li looked at Yuanmu, and the two of them arched their hands towards the Virgin, stepped forward, and sat down.
Zhou Dunru and Li Xiuyuan didn't know what Li Chengzhu was going to do, so they talked about it, and they talked about it. Is this person really listening to others? The two elders were very depressed in their hearts. When Li Chengzhu sat down, Zhou Dunru stepped forward, facing the Holy Mother, and before he could speak, Boss Li raised his eyebrows at Shui Ruyan, who was kneeling on the ground, and had already spoken one step ahead of him: "Miss Ruyan, do you want to come and sit?"
Shui Ruyan slowly raised his head, facing Li Chengzhu's smiling expression, and the big hand patted his thigh, motioning for her to go up and sit down. Shui Ruyan's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said softly: "Ruyan doesn't dare." ”
"Well, the seniors are very strict. Li Chengzhu's old face did not show a trace of redness, and he smiled slightly at the Holy Mother.
Our Lady and Grandma understood that among the two, the one with a lower cultivation was the one who took the lead, and the one with a higher cultivation seemed to be a foil, and she didn't say anything from beginning to end. But Our Lady never understood what their relationship was, not like master and servant, not like master and apprentice.
Boss Li saw that his trick had diluted the atmosphere just now, so he said: "This is indeed your family matter, I can't control it, and I don't want to take care of it." Even if you throw this flowery girl into that...... It's none of my business what kind of room it is. ”
Shui Ruyan listened to it below, his thin shoulders trembled, and he felt sad, indeed, even if he was thrown into the cultivation room, it was also where the ancestors were located, and he could provide his own cultivation for many brothers and sisters, of course he would not complain at all, but why, why did he have expectations for the man in front of him?
"But ......," Boss Li said, "There is also a saying in our hometown: People cannot stand without trust! Honesty is the most fundamental place to live in the world, and keeping promises is the moral character of people." I wonder if the Jade Rabbit clan has credibility at all?"
"Nonsense! Although we are demons, we also speak of credit, and the promises we make will naturally be kept. Zhou Dunru looked at Li Chengzhu with disdain, "It's you immortal cultivators, hum!"
Boss Li wiped his mouth and turned a blind eye to Zhou Dunru's disdain: "As far as I know, the saint seems to have a high status in your clan, right?"
"Yes. The Holy Mother nodded, "The Holy Maiden sacrificed her life for the survival and development of the clan, and she is the pride of the clan. As soon as Our Lady spoke, all the elders bowed their heads and listened to the instructions.
Proud, you take someone to feed the big snake, and say that it is a dedication, but these stupid women will do this, and I don't know how the Jade Rabbit clan brainwashed these holy women, one by one, they are extremely loyal, and it is a great honor for the holy beast to dedicate their lives.
Of course, these materials were all hooked up when she was chatting with Shui Ruyan just now, according to her, the Jade Rabbit clan has always maintained more than a hundred saints, and if you exchange a saint for a Xuanbing Fruit, the entire Jade Rabbit clan can only exchange for a hundred.
"That's it. Li Chengzhu spread his hands and pointed at the water like smoke, "I want you to forgive her for those sins." ”
"Why?" Zhou Dunru shouted, "Why should you release her, she is unfaithful and unrighteous to the holy beast, and she must not be tolerated." ”
"Just because your holy daughter said that she promised me any conditions, in exchange for the safety of your holy beast!" is it louder than the voice, isn't it? Li Chengzhu spat and splashed on Zhou Dunru's face, Lao Tzu deliberately.
"Which saint promised you?" After a long silence, Zhou Dunru reacted and asked rhetorically.
Li Chengzhu smiled and pointed to the water that was kneeling on the ground like smoke: "She." Earlier, when I was about to kill your big snake, she said that she promised me any conditions, so I let the nine-headed big snake go, otherwise, do you think your holy beast still has a life now?"
"This, this ......" Zhou Dunru was in a dilemma, the status of the holy woman is indeed high, they are all used to feed the holy beasts, they don't live for a long time, it can be said that the whole clan owes them, so the Holy Mother let out the words, the requirements of the holy woman are the requirements of the clan, except for some unreasonable requirements, the whole clan must be done. At this time, if you don't agree to this person's request, it will really be a bit angry, and it is more likely to cause other speculations in the hearts of other saints in the clan.
Zhou Dunru's intestines were all blue, and where did he jump out, with a stomach full of stinky water.
"The words of the Holy Maiden can indeed represent our Jade Rabbit Clan, but Shui Ruyan has been stripped of her qualifications as a Holy Maiden, and she is just an ordinary member of the Jade Rabbit Clan. Li Xiuyuan's head was a little better, and he seized the loophole of the time difference in Boss Li's words.
"Oh?" Li Chengzhu looked at Li Xiuyuan with cold eyes, "May I ask Elder Li, was she a saint when she made her promise?"
"Yes!" Li Xiuyuan said through gritted teeth, "But ......"
"No but!" Li Chengzhu waved his hand, "Although she has now been deprived of the qualification of a saint, she was indeed a saint when she said this, two elders, am I right?"
"That's right!" Li Xiuyuan had to respond.
"That's fine. Boss Li scratched a smile and turned his head to look at the Holy Mother: "I'm done with all the words, how can Senior Shui decide, you must have your own belly case." ”
"Our Lady!" Zhou Dunru became more and more courageous, and stepped forward unwillingly: "I think that Shui Ruyan has violated the ancestral teachings, and I am even more disloyal to the Holy Beast, if I don't punish it, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people, and it will calm the anger of the Holy Beast, I beg Our Lady to punish Shui Ruyan as a demon slave to show warning." "Today's incident is troublesome, although the advantages of my side are gone, but I can't make the other party feel better, this request is not very excessive, blaspheming the holy beast is a capital crime, and it is impossible not to punish it.
Hearing Zhou Dunru's request, the water was like smoke and his body was soft, and he almost fell to the ground. Although she has never seen the appearance of a demon slave, she has heard about this in her spare time chatting with her sisters, and the demon slave is synonymous with humility, and when she becomes a demon slave, she loses her qualification to cultivate, and can only live by relying on the master's charity and pleasing the master. Even if he dies, as long as his soul is not destroyed, he will still be in the hands of his master.
It can be said that if it falls to the point of a demon slave, it is better to cut her to the cultivation house with a knife.
"Don't ......" Shui Ruyan bit his lip lightly, shouted in his heart, tears couldn't stop flowing, and they dripped to the ground, so that everyone in the temporarily silent hall could hear clearly.
"This girl, you don't have to be excited like this. The holy beast was injured by me, and your body was touched by me, if I can't save you, my Lao Li really doesn't have to mix in the fairy world. Boss Li was triumphant in his heart, and he didn't think of what the demon slave meant.
"Yes. Our Lady nodded, "Elder Zhou is reasonable, water is like smoke to blaspheme the holy beast, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, the qualification of the saint is stripped away, and the demon slave is flattened." ”
"Yes. When Shui Ruyan heard this punishment, his heart suddenly became cold, and he fell prostrate on the ground, sobbing: "Respect the teachings of Our Lady. ”
Zhou Dunru looked at Li Chengzhu triumphantly, in the end, Lao Tzu won this battle, where did the little fart come from, hum. As long as you tell the Holy Beast the news, find the time to ask this demon slave and give it to the Holy Beast, presumably today's matter will be over. Presumably, the Holy Mother will not give herself face for the sake of a demon slave.
Boss Li noticed that there was a smile on the corner of the Virgin's mouth, and this smile ...... It's so obscene.
