Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu and Lu Yanbing came out of Sanqing Temple, said goodbye to Nan Kezi, and walked down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Li Xuandu stopped and said, "You are going to see Bai Juan, and I am going to Penglai, so I can't go with you. I just want to remind you that there is Han Yaoyue following behind Bai Juan. At the beginning, he was caught in the "heavenly net" of Mr. Chu Yunshen and had to escape. According to Mr. Chu, it will take more than a month for Han Yaoyue to solve this problem. Now the time is almost up. With Han Yaoyue's temperament, I think he will not be willing. If you meet Han Yaoyue again, I am not afraid now, but I am not with you, so you two still need to be careful. . "

Lu Yanbing smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. If we met Han Yaoyue in other places, we would have to avoid him, but this is Qizhou. It is unreasonable to let others bully us at home."

Li Xuandu nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Then I will go first."

Lu Yanbing also clasped his fists and said, "Take care, Senior Brother."

Li Xuandu's figure was very fast, and he seemed to shrink the earth as he walked. However, Lu Yanbing did not turn around for a long time. He stood there and watched Li Xuandu's figure disappear before he gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

In the rivers and lakes, strength is respected. Most of the time, the size of face is directly linked to the level of realm. After Li Xuandu lost power and his realm was low, anyone could look down on him. Even Chen Guhong, who had received his favor, dared to attack him. This is the reason why people leave and tea is cold. Palace officials, Yan Feiqing, Su Yun'an and others are willing to treat him with courtesy because they need him.

Now Li Xuandu has recovered his previous state. Even if he still loses power, his cultivation is also "power", so no one dares to look down on him, and Lu Yanbing has to sincerely call him senior brother.

If you have a state, cultivation, and ability, then you are the best, everyone praises you, and you are in the limelight. If you don't have a state, no cultivation, and no ability, then you deserve to roll in the mud at the bottom of the world, and you are nothing. Regardless of right or wrong, this is the biggest reality of the world.

In the past four years, Li Xuandu has long been accustomed to the coldness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human feelings. For these, he no longer has the indignation of a young man, and can laugh it off calmly.

Because this is human nature, let alone a large sect, even a small family of three is the same. When children are young, parents are the pillars of the family, and children have to listen to their parents, but when parents are old, children become the pillars of the family, and parents have to listen to their children. This is not fundamentally different from Lu Yanbing's behavior.

Lu Yanbing stayed for a moment and sighed deeply.

When you are in the arena, you have no choice. This is not a joke.

Lu Yanbing also turned and left.

…

At night, the lights on the Guanhai Tower were bright.

The Guanhai Tower has nine floors, each with different functions. The ninth floor is a scenic spot with external stairs leading directly to the ninth floor. The first to fifth floors are open to the public and can be climbed at will, but the sixth, seventh and eighth floors are strictly prohibited.

At this time, there are twelve bronze floor-standing candlesticks on the eighth floor, also called long candlesticks. Each bronze candlestick can light nine candles, so there are 108 candles. Each candle is as thick as a baby's arm. There is a huge bronze lotus lamp hanging above it. The lotus has thirty-six petals, and each petal has a candle that is no more than an inch high. In this way, the entire eighth floor is illuminated as bright as day, leaving no darkness.

At this time, a round table was placed in the middle of the entire floor, with a variety of dishes on the table. A woman in plain clothes sat at the host's seat, with long hair, white skin, and charming eyes.

Opposite her was a handsome man, pouring wine and drinking by himself.

The woman didn't even bother to pick up her chopsticks. She looked at the man and said, "I helped you get rid of Old Man Chu's 'net of heaven and earth', but you didn't even say thank you. If it were someone else, it would be rude."

The handsome man paused while drinking, put down his glass, and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

The woman seemed a little surprised, shook her head and laughed, "When did you become so obedient?"

The man sighed, "After suffering a little, I know the importance of the word 'obedient'."

The woman laughed, "If you, Mr. Han, were obedient, you shouldn't have come to Qizhou at this time. What kind of woman is it that makes you so distracted that you chase her from Liaodong to Jiangnan, and then from Jiangnan to Jiangbei."

The man was Han Yaoyue, who had suffered a great loss at the hands of Li Xuandu and the other two. He slightly restrained the smile on his face, raised his glass and pondered in silence.

The woman asked again: "Is that woman beautiful?"

Han Yaoyue shook her head and said: "It's not a question of whether she is beautiful or not, the key is what she has."

The woman's eyes fixed: "What is it?"

Han Yaoyue lowered her voice and said: "'Deceiving others and deceiving the truth'."

"I thought it was something else." The woman laughed and said disdainfully: "It's just some external things. Just for this, is it worth it for you to go to such trouble?"

Han Yaoyue's eyes were deep, and she said: "Senior sister has not fought with others for many years, and married a good husband, so she naturally doesn't care about these external things. But I am different. If I want to do something, I can't do without these external things. Let's not talk about the distant past. How did the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal in the past get on the Taixuan List with his cultivation in the Return to the True Realm? It was not because he held a sword and ranked second in the 'Human World'."

The woman couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

Han Yaoyue asked: "Why is Senior Sister sighing?"

The woman said softly: "Speaking of this Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, he is also my brother-in-law. Now your brother-in-law has gone to the Imperial Capital and is not at home, but this fourth uncle is coming here aggressively. I am a woman, I am afraid I am not his opponent."

Han Yaoyue frowned and said: "The Purple Mansion Sword Immortal has fallen into the realm for many years, why should I be afraid now?"

The woman shook her head and said: "Now is different from the past. This fourth uncle has always been scheming and ambitious, otherwise he would not have competed with your brother-in-law for the position of the sect leader, and even almost took the position of the sect leader away. Now he has made friends with Yan Feiqing, Su Yun'an, Yu Qingning and others outside, and has unclear relations with people from the Taiping Sect. This is a strong support. Now he has returned to Qizhou and is in Dong Hua Zong's Danxia Peak refines the 'Five Qi True Pill', I'm afraid it will return to the realm of the past. "

Han Yaoyue frowned even deeper, and said: "Then Senior Sister didn't do anything?"

Although it was bright and clear, the woman's expression was a little gloomy, and said: "No matter what, he was once the favorite disciple of the old sect master. If we use the people in the sect wantonly, it will easily violate the old sect master's taboo. If we are not careful and offend the wrath of thunder, it will be counterproductive. So I can only use a few people to knock on the corners a few times, but I'm afraid it's useless. "

Han Yaoyue heard the elegant meaning, holding the wine glass with two fingers, gently rotating it, and smiled: "It just so happens that I have some friends in Qingyang Sect and Qingluan Guard, I would like to meet him. "
