I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 691 Gambling

A few days passed in a flash.

Lu Fu had just finished handing over the work to one of the Pavilion Master's disciples, and received a secret letter from him that the Pavilion Master had asked her to give to Master Li, and she hurried back.

She wondered in her heart why the Pavilion Master did not directly contact Master Li using a communication device when he had the secret letter, but instead asked their disciples to take over. If something went wrong or an accident ruined the two of them, her life would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lu Fu's pace became even faster, not daring to delay at all, and the secret letter in her hand was like a hot potato.

After successfully reaching Master Li's cave, Lu Fu's tense mind finally relaxed, and she walked in lightly.

The young alchemist was seen in the outer room, so Lu Fu was spared the trouble of going in to ask for instructions.

She first bowed to Li Jingsheng as a disciple, then said, "Master Li, the elixir has been handed over to Senior Brother Lu."

Li Jingsheng didn't react much.

Lu Fu was already used to it, and knew that the other party had actually listened to her words, and that not answering meant tacit consent.

Then she took out the secret letter and presented it to Li Jingsheng, "This is the message that Senior Brother Lu received from the Pavilion Master and is to be delivered to Master Li."

Without seeing any movement from Li Jingsheng, the secret letter in Lu Fu's hand floated into his hands.

Lu Fu didn't even feel any fluctuations in the spiritual patterns, and her admiration for Li Jingsheng grew day by day.

When he looked up at Li Jingsheng, Li Jingsheng happened to open the secret letter.

The secret letter did not have any concealing magic, so she accidentally saw it.

Even though Lu Fu's reaction was very fast and she quickly lowered her head when she accidentally glimpsed the secret letter, the spiritual master was very sharp-eyed and had a good sight angle. Li Jingsheng did not cover it, so she could scan the contents at a glance and could not forget it.

On the one hand, I was moved by the contents of the secret letter, but on the other hand, I was anxious about this unintentional offense.

When Lu Fu's forehead was sweating, Li Jingsheng had already scanned the contents of the letter and snorted coldly.

The displeasure revealed in this voice made Lu Fu even more uneasy. She waited for a few seconds before she heard Li Jingsheng's voice, "What are you still standing there for?"

Lu Fu looked up and found that Master Li had walked to the cave exit without her knowing when, and was staring at her gloomily with squinting eyes.

Lu Fufu was moved and agreed, "Master Li, please forgive me!" Then she quickly followed him.

The two of them left the zoo one after the other and came to the Qingye Terrace of Fangcao Pavilion.

Qingyetai is the large square of Fangcao Pavilion. Any major events are held here on weekdays. It can accommodate all the staff of Fangcao Pavilion with plenty of space.

Qingyetai was very lively today. Not only were there many disciples, but even some elders who didn't often come out on weekdays showed up.

Li Jingsheng was spotted by the sharp-eyed disciples as soon as he reached the edge of the entrance of Qingye Terrace, and then one sound after another was heard.

"Elder Li is here!"

"It's Elder Li!"

"Look, look."

The noise was so loud and the crowds were so excited that Lu Fu, who was following behind Li Jingsheng, couldn't help but look sideways. She felt both surprised and reasonable.

The reason for the surprise was that Li Jingsheng had appeared in public only a handful of times since he entered Fangcao Pavilion, and many of the disciples present were meeting Li Jingsheng for the first time. Normally, he should not be so popular.

However, when she thought about Li Jingsheng's abilities and what he had done in the Holy Spirit Realm a few days ago, she felt that this scene was not strange.

In full view of the crowd and under the admiring gazes of countless Fangcao Pavilion disciples, Li Jingsheng did not have a good expression at all, nor did he respond to the enthusiasm of these disciples, and just walked past them.

All the disciples on his route also consciously stepped aside to make a smooth path for him to enter.

Lu Fu, who was following behind Li Jingsheng, had the honor of experiencing the attention of everyone, but the gazes that fell on her were mostly filled with envy.

Lu Fu followed Li Jingsheng with her head lowered, her eyes submissive but not timid, and like him, she ignored all the glances.

This scene made Li Jingsheng stand out extremely prominently, and it was even more glaring in the eyes of those who were already dissatisfied with him.

Especially when all the people who were traveling had already arrived and were only waiting for him. The central area of ​​Aoba Terrace.

Shen Zhong's already unkind face looked even more grim and terrifying because of his suppressed anger.

As soon as Li Jingsheng walked out of the separated road, Shen Zhong scolded him: "Elder Li is so proud that everyone is delayed because of you!"

Li Jingsheng was not a good-tempered person. He had been rude to Shen Zhong twice before and had already held a grudge against him. This time, Shen Zhong embarrassed him in front of most of the disciples of Fangcao Pavilion. Li Jingsheng's face immediately darkened and he replied coldly: "Am I late?"

Shen Zhong laughed and thought he was still pretending to be stupid. Everyone was waiting here, but he was the last one to arrive. How else could he not be late?

Li Jingsheng didn't wait for him to scold him again, and said first: "Elder Shen is so confused that he can't even remember the scheduled departure time. Why doesn't he ask me for a few bottles of spiritual and mental elixir?"

Those words were not nice, and coupled with Li Jingsheng's mocking smile, they were definitely effective in angering people.

The originally lively scene was now silent.

This time, Shen Zhong couldn't stand Li Jingsheng embarrassing him in front of everyone in the clan.

Seeing that Shen Zhong was so angry that his face turned red and he wanted to kill Li Jing as soon as possible, Ban Sance, who was traveling with him, raised his hand to stop Shen Zhong and gave him a look to calm him down, in order to prevent Shen Zhong from getting angry and doing irrational things.

Then he said to Li Jingsheng, "The departure time is set before noon. Even if you are not late, you are suspected of being negligent if you arrive now."

Li Jingsheng pulled the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "The Pavilion Master ordered me to make anti-poison pills diligently a few days before departure."

"Lu Fu."

Lu Fu, whose name was suddenly called, reacted calmly and said, "Disciple is here."

Li Jingsheng asked: "How many pills have I given out in the past few days?"

Lu Fu quickly glanced at the two elders, Ban Sance and Shen Zhong, and answered Li Jingsheng's question without any extra consideration.

Because in the past few days she not only helped Li Jingsheng in refining pills and purifying spiritual plants and materials, but also took over the pills with the Pavilion Master's disciples, so she remembered the number of pills quite clearly.

At this time, the number of pills that Lu Fu reported included not only the Detoxifying Pills, but also other pills, all of which were elixirs that were hard to come by in the Yang Meridian nowadays.

Even the lowest-ranking disciples present knew how valuable this number of elixirs was. Even if an ordinary alchemist worked day and night, it would be impossible for him to refine them in just a few days.

Li Jingsheng not only successfully refined it, but also contributed it all to the sect.

With such contributions, who can criticize him?

But Shen Zhong didn't buy it, and he didn't believe that Li Jingsheng would be so righteous as to devote himself to the sect.

"As a member of the sect, this is your responsibility. It is not a reason for you to be late on purpose and humiliate us!"

Li Jingsheng was disgusted by his unreasonable behavior.

Behind him, Lu Fu's eyes flashed with struggle, and then she made up her mind and said loudly: "The last time I handed over the elixir that Master Li refined to Brother Lu was ten minutes ago."

He was still handing over the elixir ten minutes ago, and arrived here ten minutes later. Considering the distance between the Zoo and Aoba Terrace, he rushed here right after the handover, without any delay at all.

In addition, anyone who hears this will subconsciously associate the handover with Li Jingsheng's alchemy, and think that Lu Fu handed over the elixir to someone after Li Jingsheng had finished making the elixir. In other words, in the last moments before leaving for the Danlai Banquet, Elder Li was trembling with fear as he was making elixirs for the sect and making contributions to the sect!

  What a righteousness this is!

As members of the sect, they will all benefit from it.

  How could they blame Elder Li for being late?

In this situation, Elder Shen, who still held on to Elder Li and kept condemning him, seemed petty and narrow-minded.

When Lu Fu said this, she had been staring at Li Jingsheng's back. She saw Li Jingsheng glance at her sideways. Thanks to her better understanding of Li Jingsheng during this period, she could see the satisfaction hidden in Li Jingsheng's expression and knew that she had made the right bet.

However, this bet has both good and bad consequences. Li Jingsheng was satisfied, but Shen Zhong was extremely angry.

"You have no right to interrupt!"

Shen Zhong might still be a little hesitant about taking action against Li Jingsheng, but a young disciple would not have those concerns.

The deadly murderous intent instantly reached Lu Fu.

Lu Fu's face turned pale and she stood there unable to move.
