Chapter 65: Wooing
Liu Ao and Xu Qingfeng talked for several hours, and asked the doubts in their hearts one by one.
Xu Qingfeng was well-informed and had a deep understanding, which opened a door to the path of cultivation for Liu Ao.
However, Xu Qingfeng said that he would not live in the inner courtyard permanently, and would still return to his Sword Stone Forest Dojo so that Liu Ao would have time to find him more.
After Liu Ao left, the first thing he did was to go to the Scripture Pavilion.
Inside the Pavilion of the Scriptures.
Liu Ao vaguely remembered that when he first came, he caught a glimpse of a classic book called "Ranking of Spiritual Qi Lists in Qingzhou" in a corner.
After searching for a moment, Liu Ao finally stopped at the northwest corner.
A yellowed book lay quietly on the bottom layer of the bookshelf in front of him, and it looked like it hadn't been read for a long time.
Liu Ao squatted down, gently reached out and picked up the book, and simply sat on the ground and flipped through it.
It opens with this sentence:
The thirteen states of the Tianwu realm, those who talk about aura, the last in Qingzhou.
The implication is that Qingzhou is the state with the thinnest aura among the thirteen states in the Tianwu Realm.
Liu Ao frowned instantly when he saw this.
Doesn't this mean that the starting point of the hundreds of millions of monks in Qingzhou is lower than that of monks in other states alone.
Turning the second page is a table of contents.
First place: Qingzhou Eastern Region 'Lonely Fire Mountain'
Second place: Qingzhou Southern Region 'Hopeless Sea - Deep Blue Eye'
Third place: Qingzhou Western Regions 'Falling Thunder Desert - Violent City'
Fourth place: Qingzhou North, Demon Clan Domain 'Netherworld Forest'
Fifth place: Northwest of Qingzhou, the demon clan domain 'Ten Thousand Demon Mounds'
Sixth place: Qingzhou Β· Β·
SeventhΒ·Β·
Liu Ao finished reading this page of contents, and did not rush to turn the next page, but fell into deep thought.
This book records the twenty places with the strongest aura in Qingzhou, of which two-thirds are in the realm controlled by the human race, and one-third are in the realm of the demon race.
Among the top five, there are two places in the demon realm.
Is it possible that you still have to go on an adventure in the demon realm?
Liu Ao frowned and turned the second page, this matter of activating the attribute of the vein is to lay the foundation for his cultivation path, and there is absolutely no room for any sloppiness.
Try not to do this kind of thing.
Liu Ao's eyes lit up, "If you want to choose, you have to choose the place with the strongest aura among the various attributes." β
But just by reading the last five pages, Liu Ao felt the difficulty.
The Silent Fire Mountain with the strongest fire attribute aura, the Deep Blue Eye with the strongest water attribute, and the Raging City with the most earth attribute are all in the territory of the Terran Race.
The Netherworld Forest, where the wood attribute aura is the strongest, and the Ten Thousand Demon Mounds, which have the strongest metallic properties, are both in the Demon Clan realm.
After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Ao made the next plan.
First cultivate to the realm of martial spirits in the inner courtyard, and then go to the three places located in the territory of the human race, and when the strength is stronger, then consider the matter of going to the territory of the demon race.
Wait until all the troubles are solved, and then go to Leng Fei'er!
recalled the scene of Leng Fei'er jumping off the flying boat with him again, and Liu Ao had a strong feeling of longing for a woman for the first time.
But Liu Ao knows that everything is not the time yet!
Taking a deep breath and exhaling the depressed breath in his chest, Liu Ao slowly got up and walked towards the outside of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with firm steps.
"Liu Ming!"
Murong Yue's voice sounded on the right side, Liu Ao turned his head to look, and saw Murong Yue walking over with gentle steps.
It's just that her expression is not relaxed.
"Come with me, I have something to say to you. β
Liu Ao did not refuse, and followed Murong Yue to the shade of a tree in a secluded place.
Murong Yuexiu frowned slightly, and her expression was serious, "Liu Ming, there is something I want to ask you for a favor." β
Liu Ao was slightly surprised in his heart, Murong Yue was the granddaughter of Vice Dean Murong Yu, what was there that he needed help with?
As if seeing Liu Ao's doubts, Murong Yue lowered his voice and said:
"Liu Ao's death in the Demon Hunting Lake, I don't think it's that simple. β
"Hua Qianqian has been rescued, although she didn't tell the truth, but I can hear that there must be someone planning behind this matter. β
Murong Yue's face was full of coldness, "I suspect it's Song Zhong!"
"I need someone to help me gather evidence!"
I didn't expect Murong Yue to be so concerned about his own affairs, Liu Ao was very moved in his heart, "Senior sister, why are you so concerned about Liu Ao's affairs?"
"Also, why are you asking me for help?"
Murong Yue looked at Liu Ao with some apologetic feelings, "I shouldn't have involved you, but I really couldn't find any other candidates." β
"You have performed well in this experience, and someone should soon come to woo you, and Song Zhong should too. β
Liu Ao frowned, "You want me to pretend to take refuge in Song Zhong, and then secretly collect evidence of his cruelty to the Qingshi brothers and sisters?"
Murong Yue nodded, the guilt on his face became even stronger, "I know this matter is very dangerous, don't worry, I won't let you help in vain." β
Liu Ao stretched out his hand to stop Murong Yue's next words, "Senior sister, I just want to cultivate well, besides, since Liu Ao is dead, I don't think there is any need for you to investigate this matter again." β
That being said, Liu Ao already had a plan in his heart, he would check the truth himself, and one day he would kill that person with his own hands!
"Liu Ming, please think about it again," Murong Yue's face was embarrassed, "To be honest, I have already looked for Sun Fan, but he refused." β
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I have a way to keep you. β
Liu Ao frowned, to tell the truth, he didn't want Murong Yue to waste too much in this matter.
After all, this shouldn't be Murong Yue's business.
But seeing Murong Yue like this, he didn't seem to have any intentions.
In that case...
Liu Ao's eyes lit up, so let's find out the truth in advance.
"I know," Liu Ao nodded lightly, "Senior sister, go back first, I know how to do it." β
Murong Yue's face was happy, "Liu Ming, thank you, don't worry, I..."
Liu Ao waved his hand, "I just want to know, why are you so concerned about Liu Ao's affairs?"
Hearing Liu Ao ask again, Murong Yue's expression changed, he was silent for a moment, and said in disappointment:
"I don't know. β
Liu Ao nodded, and when he turned to leave, he said:
"Senior sister, sometimes people are destined to be passers-by, senior brother advises you, don't fall too deep. β
After speaking, Liu Ao left quickly.
Murong Yue looked at Liu Ao's back a little distractedly, and was in a trance for a while.
"Like him, like him. β
Murong Yue muttered, but he asked himself in his heart, yes, why are you so concerned about Liu Ao's affairs?
"Isn't it just that the bastard looked at him by mistake, what does it matter to me that he died?"
Murong Yue muttered in distraction, but shook his head bitterly, "But it's him." β
No one knew that when Murong Yue was fifteen years old, he quietly asked Murong Yu's old friend to test his marriage once.
"The person I want is arrogant, ill-fated, and afraid of cats. β
Murong Yue muttered these words in a low voice, his expression becoming more and more lost, "Liu Ao, are you really dead?"
Β·Β·Β·
Demon Hunting Lakeside.
The black devil was shrouded in black air, and a pair of cold eyes saw the altar at the bottom of the lake through the lake.
He sniffed the remaining breath in the air, and soon made his way to the southwest.
"Blood Demon, that old guy doesn't have a long life~"
The black devil smiled softly, "I remember he said that the sacrificial girl is called Biluo, a half-demon born from the Ichthyosaurus clan and the human race, which is interesting." β
"The tenth two-veined species is also in the southwest. β
"The flesh and blood of the ichthyosaur clan should be very replenished~"
The black devil laughed evilly, and his body suddenly turned into a cloud of black qi and disappeared.
Meanwhile.
Tong Ying, a little girl who has had a two-sided relationship with Liu Ao, has successfully passed the assessment and become an ordinary outer court disciple of Jiuding Academy.
As for Liu Ao, while cultivating, he waited for Song Zhong to send someone to the door.
But the first person to come was a surprise to Liu Ao.
Sun Fan!
The young man who, like Liu Ao, shocked countless people in the frontier training, but was unremarkable.
Sun Fan's personality is the same as his appearance, boring!
After coming, he didn't speak, just stood in the courtyard and looked at Liu Ao.
Liu Ao really felt a little depressed, hugged his fists and took the initiative to speak:
"Brother Sun Fan, what are you looking for me?"
Sun Fan stared at Liu Ao for a long time before he slowly spoke:
"Something is looking for you. β
Liu Ao: "Β·Β·Β·"
"Brother Sun Fan, if you have something to say," Liu Ao was a little speechless, "I don't know which mentor Brother Sun Fan has been assigned to?"
Sun Fan: "Β·Β·Β·"
"I'm looking for you," Sun Fan nodded.
Liu Ao frowned, "Something to talk about." β
Sun Fan was silent for a moment and nodded, "You are very powerful." β
Liu Ao sighed, it was too tiring to talk to this Sun Fan.
Liu Ao was just about to ignore Sun Fan and go back to the house to practice by himself, so he heard Sun Fan continue:
"I'm looking for you. β
Liu Ao turned his head and glared at Sun Fan, "If you have something, just say it, I'm busy." β
Sun Fan nodded, "Someone came to me and asked me to take refuge in him." β
Liu Ao's eyes lit up, "Who is it?" Song Zhong, or someone else?"
"I didn't pay attention to who it was," Sun Fan shook his head, "Forget it, don't talk about this." β
Liu Ao glanced at Sun Fan, it was the first time he had met such a difficult person to speak for so many years.
"I came to you to ask you if you want to join someone else?"
Liu Ao subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but he remembered that Murong Yue asked him to pretend to join Song Zhong, so he nodded and said:
"I think Song Zhong is good. β
Sun Fan's face that had not changed for thousands of years finally had an expression, and he frowned:
"I still treat you as a respectable opponent, you have disappointed me too much. β
After speaking, Sun Fan turned around and left.
Liu Ao was full of black lines, and after watching Sun Fan walk away, he muttered:
"I'm sick!"
However, not long after Sun Fan left, someone came again.
And still two people.
One of them, Liu Ao also met when he was training, was Song Zhong's henchman: Chen Wen!
The moment he saw Chen Wen, Liu Ao's eyes were filled with coldness.
At that time, he changed his appearance and appeared by the Demon Hunting Lake, and it was this person who secretly shot himself with a cloud-piercing arrow and knocked himself out of the Demon Hunting Lake!
It seems that there is no need to check the truth, it is Song Zhong who is secretly arranging!
Coming with Chen Wen was a handsome young man with a white face and beard, he kept a distance of about a zhang from Chen Wen, and said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Liu Ming, congratulations. β
Liu Ao hugged his fists at this person and said suspiciously:
"I don't know who my senior brother is?"
"Li Hao," the young man said with a smile.
"It was Senior Brother Gongxi who asked me to visit Senior Brother. β
As soon as these words came out, it was hinted that he was here to win over Liu Ao for Gong Xi.
Who is Kyo-hee?
That is recognized as the first disciple of the Inner Court!
Liu Ao was very surprised in his heart, even if he performed well in the experience, how could he even ask someone to win him over?
Moreover, looking at Gong Xi's loner temperament, he shouldn't like to form gangs.
Before Liu Ao could answer, he heard Chen Wen laugh and say:
"Senior Brother Liu Ming, my name is Chen Wen, Senior Brother Song Zhong has already set up a banquet, so I am invited to invite my junior brother to the banquet, which can be regarded as a celebration for my junior brother. β
Li Hao snorted coldly, "Chen Wen, Senior Brother Gongxi also invited Senior Brother Liu Ming to go and taste tea, otherwise, you will come back another day." β
Chen Wen smiled, "I think everything depends on what Senior Brother Liu Ming means." β
In fact, it was enough to just say the names of Gong Xi and Song Zhong.
How to choose, it really depends on Liu Ao's wishes.
Originally, Liu Ao planned to pretend to take refuge in Song Zhong, but now that the truth is clear, it seems that there is no need for this.
The corners of Liu Ao's mouth curled up and looked at Chen Wen:
"When I was training, I saw Senior Brother Chen Wen and Senior Brother Song Zhong standing together, and they should be deeply valued by Senior Brother Song Zhong. β
Seeing Liu Ao talking to him, a look of satisfaction appeared on Chen Wen's face, "Senior Brother Song Zhong is the young master of the Song family's trading company, and he has been generous and kind since he was a child, so it is better for the junior brother to go with me..."
"Senior brother misunderstood!"
Liu Ao's eyes were cold, "I heard that the Qingshi brothers and sisters were kidnapped by Li Hong and Liu Junfei and taken to the Demon Hunting Lake that day, and Li Hong had already taken refuge under Senior Brother Song Zhong. β
It can be seen that not all the people who Senior Brother Song Zhong is wooing are friendly people. β
"Hahahaha!" Li Hao laughed loudly:
"That's right, Li Hong and Liu Junfei did something to harm their fellow disciples, and the academy is still wanted for them, to put it mildly, before the matter was investigated, Senior Brother Song Zhong had not cleared the suspicion. β
Li Hao looked at Chen Wen's face that was gradually darkening, and smiled more and more happily, "Then Senior Brother Liu, I'll take you to Senior Brother Gongxi now?"
Liu Ao nodded, "Then Senior Brother Lao Li Hao will lead the way." β
Chen Wen didn't speak, looking at Liu Ao's back, his eyes gradually became gloomy.
"Could it be that this kid knows something!"
On the same day, Chen Wen and Liu Junfei were chased and killed by Zhang Cheng and Hu Yanxiong brought by Murong Yue.
Chen Wen was seriously injured and jumped off a cliff to escape, sneaking all the way back to Hongmen Pass.
Recalling the scene of that day, Chen Wen was sure that he had not revealed his identity.
Thinking of this, Chen Wen snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, "I don't know what to do, you should dare to refuse the woo of my Song family's trading company, then you just wait and regret it!"
