The sword is the devil

Hou Tiao bit the bullet and admitted, "Yes."

"why?"

"Hands are tight, the teachers only let me work, and don't even feed me grass, treat me like a stone donkey."

Li Chuping pointed at him, "This reason is reasonable. One side is the rich and powerful Wu family, and the other side is the wealthy Bai family. Is this a good thing?"

Hou Tiao glanced at him vigilantly, "It's nothing, they are all worthless things, not enough to fit between teeth."

Li Chuping laughed and said, "I won't borrow spirit stones from you. Why are you nervous? But I have a task. If the opportunity is right, you can try it."

Hou Tiao, "What do you mean, can I do it or not?"

Li Chuping handed over a jade slip, "Three years ago, a Quanzhen disciple named Li Shizhong was like you. The Wei Mansion sent back a message saying that a secret had been discovered and further verification was needed, but in the end the witnesses were lost.

We can't collect evidence in Linhai. It's against the rules, so we can only investigate in private. You don't need to complete this task, but if it happens by chance, you might as well ask for evidence. *@侯葛very keen, "This Li Shizhong is also yours?
Li Chuping was noncommittal, "He's not from the Captain's Mansion, but he has a heart for justice. I'm very optimistic about him, but it's a pity..."

"What's the secret? To keep your life secret?"

"I didn't specify, because it's not conclusive, but it's probably about the inside of my Gale Plain; and I'm not sure whether his disappearance was because he knew the secret, or was it a coincidence because of other battles? The place was chaotic, and there were many casualties. It's too ordinary."

Hou Yuan sighed, "I don't like to know secrets the most. Is there any activity funds?"

"no."

"What about the reward?"

"Everything in the Captain's Mansion, you take it yourself!"

Hou Tiao left the Duwei's mansion, it was too difficult to find something from this place.

He planned to use this time to visit his friends. Seven years is not a short time, enough for many things to happen.

The first goal is of course the Yinling. At this time, the composition of the Yinling parade has changed, and more than half of the people are newcomers;
Among the elderly, Feng Yaochen has successfully ascended to Tongxuan, and now he is going to consolidate for two years; Li Jingxi, Tuxiu, and Dou Gong have been transferred to other regions; The ones who can see are Yao and Xu Geng.

He went to Miaogao Town again, but Yu Zhengxing was transferred to another place a year ago, still in the far north.

King Luo Lin had already made it to the top a year ago, and there are many others. They all have their own homes.Everyone is working hard, practicing, and busy.

After this trip, he realized that this is actually the normal rhythm of practitioners, and it is impossible to gather and laugh like ordinary people, talking about the past and the present.

The communication between practitioners may be remembered for a lifetime when they work together for a period of time, and then see each other many years later, they will be old friends; their time is much longer than ordinary people, but on the contrary, getting along is better than ordinary people. more urgent.

This is a lonely profession. Meeting is fate, and parting is normal. Treat every meeting as the last so as not to leave regrets; .

Life is a journey of saying goodbye until you say goodbye to the world.

If a person learns to accompany himself, he has learned one of the most important life skills in life.

Touching the sword in his hand, it is the only one that can truly accompany him for a lifetime.

So I went back to Jincheng and planned to go to the hidden sword building to see if I needed to prepare myself a little more skills? After all, Linhai is far away and it is inconvenient to come and go.

He has received an invitation.

In a big mansion in the west of the city, it was full of guests today.

Dugu Lan and his cousin Xiao Qiang have both succeeded in the upper realm, which is the most popular news in Jincheng in the past month; one is the talent, and the other is the unknown secret in the family practice; like the situation of the Dugu family, in the It is very common in the hundreds of years of family inheritance, and women get

Power, but men seem to be tools to carry on the family line?
People like Hou Tiao don't know how to congratulate or hold a banquet after they get to the realm; but the Xiuzhen family is different. Their status determines that they can't keep a low profile, and they need to spread the influence of the family to truly guarantee the family's prosperity. The way it lasts.

There is a reason for being high-profile and there is a reason for being low-key; if someone like Hou Yuan with bloody hands is showing off everywhere, that would be the way to death; People care about it.

After initially stabilizing the state, Dugu's family held this banquet in Jincheng, spreading invitations widely, inviting relatives and friends; no matter whether it is a famous old man or a young and handsome person, they are all invited, and it is also an event in the current Jincheng cultivation world. event.

Although the three palace masters with the highest status in Jincheng did not come, they also sent special personnel to return the gift, which is very important; this is not only because of the family, but also because of the strength of the two Tongxuan newcomers.

There were more than two hundred guests, apart from the friends of the two female cultivators, there were dozens of Tongxuan cultivators alone, most of them were rising stars who had gained fame in recent years, and Hou Tiao was barely one of them.

Among these people, Hou Tiao even saw the shadow of the third master of the Bai family, which shows his ability to communicate; he did not approach to meet each other, and the third master Bai did not come to talk to him because of the accident, everyone pretended to be strangers The appearance is nothing more than avoiding the eyes and ears of the Wu family; although Quan Zhen never denied that he was responsible for that incident, he did not reveal the specific person.

"I see the prosperity of congratulatory gifts, just this one banquet, the Dugu family has reaped a lot. If I knew this, I should have done this once when Jingcheng returned to the city. It's not for nothing; now it's a good thing, just show If you don’t go in, it seems like it’s better to have less gatherings like this in the future.”

Hou Tiao, who had a little bleeding, squeezed into the crowd watching the ceremony, and was very envious to see how rich he was, which was much better than his desperate fighting and killing methods.back
"You? It's just for jealousy. How many people can come to a really big banquet? Even if they come, they may not give you a gift. I don't know about others, but Captain Li is sure that he won't take out a soul. of."

Wang Daoren smiled and said that he came on behalf of Li Duwei. It is better to say that he is Li Chuping's personal butler than he is from the Duwei's mansion; such a position will bring him many benefits, but it will also close the door. The other door is like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or not.

Hou Tiao sighed, it's really different in the same situation, "The captain knows how to assign tasks as soon as he sees me, no matter how dangerous it is, he won't give sweets..."

Wang Daoren knew that he was joking, but he still had to make some things clear, "So, these two women are just outsiders, and two gifts can solve it; but you are responsible for carrying out the most private mission for the captain. In comparison, the importance is self-evident."

Hou Ying smiled slightly, saying so, but trust is also a double-edged sword...

Wang Daoren said softly: "Brother, as far as I know, there are actually some ulterior secrets behind this Dugu family banquet in the Jincheng cultivation circle."
