Taiping Inn

Now Yao Xianglian's status has changed greatly. It is said that the Grand Princess Xuanzhen likes this Miss Yao very much and values ​​her very much. She changed her status from a registered disciple to a personal disciple. So in less than a month, Yao Xianglian became a powerful figure in Yuying Temple. Not only did she no longer have to do odd jobs, but she also had her own courtyard.

When the news was passed back to the imperial capital, Yao's father and mother were very pleased.

Although their daughter might have to accompany the green lamp in this life, it is also another way out to have the care of the Grand Princess Xuanzhen.

During this period of time, Yao Xianglian's fusion with Wu Xian has further deepened. Yao Xianglian gradually discovered her various magical aspects and slowly accepted these changes. At the same time, Yao Xianglian also realized that many of the friends she had met recently were not ordinary people. They often came to visit her, but they did not talk about their purpose. They usually left quietly at some point and disappeared.

Today, someone came to visit Yao Xianglian again. One of them was Shangguan Wan, and the other was Lu Yanbing. They were about the same age as Yao Xianglian and they were quite talkative.

Along with the two came three new faces, one big and two small, which made Yao Xianglian curious. After Lu Yanbing told the story of the three people, Yao Xianglian agreed without saying a word and agreed to place them in Yuying Temple.

At night, Yao Xianglian fell asleep and Wu Xian woke up.

Shangguan Wan and Lu Yanbing were waiting for this moment. Lu Yanbing explained her purpose to Wu Xian.

Involving the Confucian school, Ziyanshan people are a problem. They want to ask Wu Xian, who has stabilized Ziyanshan people, to come forward and take charge.

After listening, Wu Xian shook his head and said, "I'm studying the elixir of immortality recently. If it's not a matter of life and death, I don't want to be involved."

Shangguan Wan and Lu Yanbing looked at each other, feeling helpless.

With a high enough realm and deep enough cultivation, one can indeed do whatever he wants. As Wu Xian, who is second only to the realm of immortality, is indeed qualified to refuse any request except Li Xuandu. They can only request, but not force.

Besides, although Li Xuandu ordered this matter, it was handed over to the two of them, not to the entire inn, and Wu Xian was indeed not obliged to help.

At this time, the two of them missed Yao Xianglian a little. If that silly girl also had Wu Xian's magical powers, she wouldn't have to spend so much effort.

Unfortunately, Yao Xianglian had magical powers but couldn't use them at 20%, which was a world of difference from Wu Xian.

Wu Xian looked at Shangguan Wan and suddenly said, "But I can teach you the 'Shadow Art' of the Wu Cult. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own ability."

Shangguan Wan was startled, and then said happily, "Thank you, great wizard."

Wu Xian stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, taking out a little spiritual light from it, and then flicked his finger, and the spiritual light flew straight in front of Shangguan Wan. Shangguan Wan carefully took the spiritual light, pressed it into his own forehead, and then thanked Wu Xian again.

Then Wu Xian took out another jade bottle and handed it to Lu Yanbing: "This is the elixir I made recently while researching the elixir of immortality. It can't be called immortality, and it's far from immortality, but it's very effective in curing internal and external injuries."

Lu Yanbing took the jade bottle and thanked Wu Xian.

Wu Xian stood up to see him off: "If you two have nothing else to do, please go back."

The two of them got their own benefits, and it's hard to say that Wu Xian is unkind, so he can only stand up and say goodbye.

...

Recently, Li Xuan has been recovering from his injuries.

His injuries are a bit strange. They don't affect his combat power or endanger his life. However, because of the sword energy entering his body, many subtle sword energy remains in his body, and he needs to identify and remove them one by one, just like the enemy army invaded his own country. The two armies fought, and although the enemy army was completely defeated, the remnants of the defeated soldiers were scattered and became local bandits. They needed to be pacified and eliminated one by one, which was very cumbersome.

Li Xuandu was busy with this matter. At first, he slowly removed the sword energy in his body. Later, Li Xuandu found that after Li Daoxu ascended, the heaven and the human were separated, and these sword energies became ownerless sword energy, which seemed to be a gift left to him by his master. He stopped removing the sword energy and refined it for his own use, but it was more time-consuming.

At the same time, Li Xuandu was also busy refining "Knock on the Heaven's Gate", just like he had refined the "Yin Yang Fairy Clothes" at the beginning, which was also a time-consuming and laborious task.

In this case, Li Xuandu could only hand over many things to the people in the inn to deal with, but Qin Su was not around, which made Li Xuandu miss Qin Su very much. He was used to being with two people, so he was not used to being alone.

However, there were some things that others could not do for him, so Li Xuandu had to do it himself.

After Li Xuandu met Li Yuanying, he went to see Gu Yusheng.

No matter how much Li Xuandu disliked this third sister-in-law, after all, she was on the Li family tree, Li Xuandu was still willing to recognize this sister-in-law, provided that she and Li Yuanying were willing to return to the right path.

Compared to Li Yuanying's stubbornness, Gu Yusheng was more sensible. At least he did not resist Li Xuandu on the surface, as if he was still the same as when they met in Guanhai Tower.

The place where the two met was the main hall, with the door open and open. From the outside, it was clear and in full view.

Li Xuandu did not sit in the main seat, but chose the guest seat on the left. Gu Yusheng was not arrogant and also chose the guest seat, so the two sat opposite each other.

Li Xuandu was in a hurry to speak, so Gu Yusheng took the initiative to ask: "I wonder why Fourth Uncle came here today?"

"I originally wanted Bai Juan to come to see his third sister-in-law. After all, some things are more convenient to say between sister-in-law. But Bai Juan is not there, so I have to come over." Li Xuan smiled, "Actually nothing big is going to happen." , it is to talk about what happened next with my third sister-in-law."

According to the order of the Li family, Li Xuan is fine, so he should be called "sister-in-law" or "sister-in-law". He is just used to the sorting between his senior brothers, and he is still called "three sister-in-law".

"What is the 'Fuer Uncle'?" Gu Yusheng asked again.

Li Xuandu said, "It's the matter after the old man ascended. Xie Zhi, I don't plan to let go. Third Senior Brother, I intend to make a fuss. Third Sister-in-law is both Xie Zhi's junior sister and third Senior Brother's wife. . Now, I want to ask my third sister-in-law what to do, should I continue to stand on my senior sister's side or on my husband's side? "

Gu Yusheng lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and asked back, "Is there any difference?"

Li Xuandu said, "My third sister-in-law is extremely smart, so I don't hide it from the third sister-in-law. My senior brother is still stubborn and wants to force me to bear the bad reputation of killing my brother. Whether my third sister-in-law is standing on Xie Zhi's side or standing On the senior brother's side, there is indeed no difference."

Gu Yusheng whispered: "I understand. Uncle Fourth wants me to stand on your side."

Li Xuan didn't deliberately conceal his intentions: "I hope my third sister-in-law can persuade the third senior brother."

Gu Yusheng's mind changed rapidly, and suddenly felt that he understood Li Xuandu's intention. He glanced at Li Xuandu's expression and said, "The fourth uncle will return to Qizhou soon and officially take over as the leader of Qingwei Sect and the Li family. The position of patriarch, does the Fourth Uncle feel that Mingxin is not present, and the scene is not very good?”

Li Xuandu asked back: "If it was the sixth year of Tianbao or the seventh year of Tianbao, this might be a problem. Nowadays, is the so-called "scene" still a problem? Is it or not the leader of the Qingwei Sect? Is there any difference between being or not being the head of the Li family?”

Gu Yusheng was silent.

There is indeed no difference. Li Xuan can support one person. Not to mention Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan, even if Lu Yanbing sits in the position of the sect leader, no one dares to object. This is the same as Li Daoxu's support for Li Yuanying back then. The truth.

Li Xuandu continued, "My original intention is to let my aunt be the head of the Li family and let the second senior brother be the head of the Qingwei Sect. However, before leaving, the old man asked me to take over. I could not refuse it from the truth or reason. I agree. The old man understands his intention very well. Whether it is my aunt or second brother, he is already old after all. I say this because I hope my third sister-in-law understands that I don’t care whether the so-called scene looks good or not. I just care about my brotherly love back then The difference is also due to the old man's face, and he doesn't want to do anything. "

Gu Yusheng said slowly, "I wonder what Uncle Fourth wants to make Mingxin?"

Li Xuandu said: "It's very simple. I don't ask him to do whatever he wants for the world, nor do he ask for what he wants for the people. I just ask him to adjust his mentality, don't be angry or resentful, and don't think about the kind of fighting for power and profit. , but to do something for Qingweizong and the Li family steadily, it is also considered as living upholding the master's grace."

Gu Yusheng was silent again. After a long time, he said, "Let him bow his head and be content with me. With my understanding of him, it is really more uncomfortable than killing him."

In fact, Li Xuan was also a little worried, because Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Jingchen were the lessons of the past. Zhang Jingxiu originally imprisoned Zhang Jingchen on the Demon Suppression Platform. After the earth master attacked the Dazhen Mansion, Zhang Jingxiu released Zhang Jingchen and made him regain In power. After Zhang Jingxiu ascended hastily due to an accident, Zhang Jingchen was able to take charge of Zhengyi Sect, and immediately counterattacked and overthrew Zhang Jingxiu's various established strategies, which triggered a full-scale conflict between Li Xuandu and Zhengyi Sect, which could have been barely maintained. The sect of the law is moving towards decline ahead of schedule.

In response to this, Li Xuan did not want Li Yuanying to take power again, which is also the reason why Li Yuanying refused to bow his head. If Li Xuan gave the chips of the deputy sect leader, I am afraid that the two brothers would have "reconciled as before", if it was Li Xuandu is willing to give up the wise, giving up the position of sect leader of Qingwei Sect and the position of patriarch of the Li family. Even if he is a puppet, Li Yuanying will definitely "work to the death", but those who originally supported Li Xuandu are like Lu Yanbing. Waiting for someone, how should I think? What is the significance of working hard on your own?

And from another perspective, Li Xuan is willing to let Li Yuanying go, and he is already the most righteous person. If he is a cruel person, Li Yuanying can only die.

Li Xuandu said, "If it weren't for this, why should I ask my third sister-in-law to persuade me?"

Gu Yusheng bit his lower lip lightly, hesitating: "I don't know if I can tell him."

Li Xuandu said, "Just do your best."

Gu Yusheng hesitated and said, "If you can't..."

Li Xuandu sighed, "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, so I can only let him go."
