Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

Lu Xuanjing glanced at Li Guanhai and said, "If there is nothing else, you can leave. I still have to practice in seclusion."

As he spoke, he tried to break away from Li Guanhai's hand, but he held on tighter.

Lu Xuanjing tried several times and failed to break free, so she simply gave up. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of light and shadow shaking at the door.

She was startled, and hurriedly broke away from Li Guanhai's hand. She looked up and saw clearly who the visitor was. The person who came was none other than the second elder of the Dihuang Palace and half of her mentor, Jian Qiulu. Elder Jian.

Jian Qiulu stood at the door, her eyes first swept over Lu Xuanjing, and then fell on Li Guanhai.

Li Guanhai made a junior salute, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Junior Li Guanhai, I have met Elder Jian. It's been a long time since I last saw you. Elder Jian is always kind."

Jian Qiulu said as she walked in: "It's fine, but I heard that after Young Master Guanhai got married, he went to guard the front line of the East China Sea. He also caused quite a disturbance in the East China Sea. Why are you here all of a sudden?"

Li Guanhai did not hide anything, and immediately gave a general summary of the evil spirits causing chaos.

After listening quietly, Elder Jian asked: "What is the evil spirit that can make the Buddhist and Taoist families work together to seal it?"

Li Guanhai shook his head, "This junior doesn't know either."

Elder Jian did not ask too much about this topic. She just stared at Li Guanhai and said in a calm tone: "Young Master Guanhai, I know there is some hypocrisy between you and Xuanjing, but after all, there are differences between men and women, and Xuanjing is mine. The Holy Maiden of the Imperial Palace is pure and pure. It is not appropriate to get too close to you. You may be gossiped about by the world, so please pay attention to the impact, Young Master Guanhai."

What she said has been very straightforward. It means that you should come to Lu Xuanjing less often, don't come if you have nothing to do, and don't come if you have something to do.

It’s no wonder that Elder Jian rejects him so much, because the saints of the Earth Emperor’s Palace in past dynasties have always been pure and pure, even in the eyes of the world. She is like a fairy living on the top of a snow mountain, unstained by dust, and untainted by the fireworks of the world.

If one day the news comes out that the Holy Maiden of the Earthly Emperor Palace has a private life-long relationship with a certain man, I believe the whole world of cultivation will explode, because this kind of thing subverts everyone's traditional concepts.

Elder Jian said this not only to avoid suspicion, but also to protect Lu Xuanjing.

She knew Lu Xuanjing's temperament. If there were any rumors in the upper world, with Lu Xuanjing's tendency to get into trouble, Jian Qiulu was really afraid that she would give birth to inner demons and her cultivation would stagnate.

Although she is not Lu Xuanjing's true master, the two have had a master-disciple relationship for several years. Jian Qiulu also loves and values ​​her very much, so she will naturally protect her and not want her to get hurt.

At this time, another person came to the Holy Lady's Palace. It was none other than Zhu Sheng, the great elder of the Dihuang Palace, who was currently responsible for handling all matters inside and outside the Dihuang Palace.

Elder Zhu was still as amiable as he had seen before, looking kind-hearted and easy to talk to.

The moment he saw him, Li Guanhai raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Elder Zhu, have you broken through to the Hedao realm?"

After not seeing each other for a while, Zhu Sheng actually broke through from the original peak realm of Xuanxian to the realm of Hedao, quietly. This really shocked Li Guanhai.

There seems to be only half a step between the peak of the Mysterious Immortal and the realm of the Mysterious God, but in fact the gap is simply worlds apart and completely incomparable.

I remember that the last time he married Xiahou Aoxue, Zhu Sheng was also present at the wedding banquet. At that time, Li Guanhai went to toast him. He was obviously only at the peak level of Xuanxian.

As a result, how long had passed before he actually broke through to the Hedao realm and reached a realm that he had never dreamed of.

Did he have some adventure?

Seeing Li Guanhai's surprised look, Zhu Sheng smiled and said: "Hahaha, there is nothing surprising. You don't even know that I have been stuck in the peak realm of Xuanxian for many years. Now, it is just a matter of course to cultivate to the Hedao realm." It’s just a matter of fact, not surprising.”

"Actually, the fact that I was able to achieve the Hedao realm so quickly is largely due to you, Master."

"My credit?" Li Guanhai asked in confusion: "I wish the elder to achieve the Hedao realm. This is your own blessing and talent. What does it have to do with me?"

Zhu Sheng smiled and said: "Of course it is related. It is you who enhanced the merit power and luck of the Golden Lotus of Merit. I was able to successfully cultivate the Hedao realm with the help of this power. Otherwise, I would have been stuck in this realm for at least several decades." ”

"It's really fate." Li Guanhai smiled and said: "It would be great if I can help Elder Zhu. In fact, I have gained more benefits from the Golden Lotus of Merit."

Zhu Sheng chatted with him for a few words, then looked at Jian Qiulu and said with a smile: "Junior sister, Mr. Guanhai and Xuanjing are good friends. You also know Xuanjing's temperament. It is not easy to have a good friend. You should cherish this one." It’s just friendship.”

"What you said just now was a bit hurtful. Mr. Guanhai has helped me in the Emperor's Palace not once or twice. He has come from afar. It's okay for you not to entertain him. How can you hurt him with your words?" ? It really shouldn’t be.”

Zhu Sheng's words were exactly the tone of a senior brother teaching a junior sister, but he did not speak harshly, but said these words calmly.

Because he knew that he also had a short temper, and if he spoke in a harsh tone, he would probably irritate her and lead to a big quarrel in the end. How would that be appropriate?

So he used a calm tone to patiently persuade and guide her thoughts, just like boiling a frog in warm water, so that she could not get angry even if she had a temper.

Jian Qiulu patiently listened to her senior brother's "lesson", then looked at Li Guanhai. As a senior, she certainly couldn't apologize to the junior, so she tried to soften her tone and asked: "Sir, did you come here to visit Xuanjing?"

Hearing this, Li Guanhai glanced at Lu Xuanjing, who had an expressionless face, and said: "The main purpose is indeed to visit her, but I actually came here for another thing."

Jian Qiulu raised an eyebrow, "What is it? Just tell me."

Li Guanhai didn't beat around the bush and directly took out a human skin from the Qiankun bag and said: "This human skin was obtained from a secret box. It is suspected that the upper world It records the magical powers of Buddhism, but the content is hidden by the person who left this magical power in a special way. After asking around, I learned that if you want to crack the secret of this human skin, you need to use the purest water to succeed. "

"The first thing I thought of was your sect's Xixin Pool, so I came here specially, hoping that the two seniors can help me."

Jian Qiulu and Zhu Sheng looked at each other, and the latter smiled and said, "How difficult is this, Master Guanhai, just try it."

As he said, he looked at Lu Xuanjing, "Xuanjing, you will take the master to the Xixin Pool in the back mountain."

Lu Xuanjing pursed her red lips and nodded, "Yes, Great Elder."
