Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 197

As time passed bit by bit, all the young disciples in Yuchuan stayed behind closed doors, concentrating on cultivating, but another bad news came from the Hu family.

On the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, the day after the Qiqiao Festival, when the family servants went to Hu Ruhai's residence to deliver meals to him as usual, they found that the boy in the house had died for a long time.

In fact, it is reasonable for Hu Ruhai's Xiuwei to be deposed and hang himself to death, but for some reason, it has been several months since the incident before he developed the will to die.

Hu Ruxing glanced down at the letter in his hand again. The handwriting on the letter paper was clear and neat, just like the person who wrote it usually has a stable and self-disciplined character.

The boy in white carefully folded the letter, put it in the cabinet, took out another letter from his pocket, then went to the gate of the courtyard and called a servant from the clan, handed over the letter in his hand, and attached it to his ear. He ordered a few words in a low voice.

It wasn't until Hu Ruxing sighed slightly when he stopped to watch the boy's figure go away, then turned and went back to the room.

……

The news of Hu Ruhai's death soon reached Liu Xiaolu's ears, and she was not surprised by it. As early as when Hu Ruhai entrusted her with all his savings and only asked for a promise, Liu Xiaolu knew that his fourth brother had already made up his mind.

Things have come to this, even if Hu Ruyi can return from Hedao Sect smoothly, it is impossible for the two of them to get back together, and fourth brother is such a strong person, how could he be willing to return to the secular world after he has already embarked on the journey of immortality.

Liu Xiaolu shook his head lightly to clear away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and once again focused his attention on the two green streamers in front of him.

Now that she has become more and more proficient in this distraction control technique, she can use it against the enemy without worrying about making mistakes.

The Xiaoxiang Jade and Bamboo Sword specially made for her by Lou Wanxiang is indeed a high-grade flying sword. Its power is several times greater than that of the Green Bamboo Flying Sword issued by the clan. The sword is also engraved with an ice-type attack circle.

Under the blessing of the ice technique, if ordinary monks are not seriously injured by this sword, their hands and feet will be stiff and their movements will be slow.

Ever since Liu Xiaolu mastered the art of distraction and control, Xiaoqing has become her best training partner under his coercion and lure.

One man and one snake practiced in the courtyard until the sun set, Liu Xiaolu put away the two green bamboo flying swords, called Ji Xiang who was watching the battle, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner together.

As soon as the food was put on the table, Hu Yizhi, dressed in white, pushed open the courtyard door and stepped into the courtyard.

"Father is back." Liu Xiaolu bent his eyes and smiled, set the table and chopsticks, then went out quickly and welcomed him into the main room.

"En." Hu Yizhi nodded, sat down at the table, and then said, "I got some news about Bailianmen from Uncle Lou today."

Liu Xiaolu couldn't help wondering when he heard the words, "Bailianmen? What happened to them?"

In her impression, although there were many unreasonable things in Bailianmen, they didn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary except for seizing many customers of Wanxiang Pavilion in the past year.

Hu Yizhi seemed to be rushing all the way back. At this moment, he stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he continued, "You have been trapped in Yuchuan recently and cannot go out, so Luo Lin went to Qushui Lane to visit you a few times. Back to mother-in-law.

From Granny Qu's mouth, I learned that City Lord Jin has had a lot of contact with the cultivator at the foundation stage in Bailianmen during this period of time, and it seems that the relationship is very close. "

"So, Bailianmen really colluded with the City Lord's Mansion as we had guessed at the beginning." Liu Xiaolu frowned.

Hu Yizhi nodded approvingly, took another sip of the tea in the cup, and said with a smile, "This is one of them. I heard another interesting news in Zongyuan City today."

"What news?" Seeing Hu Yizhi's expression, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help asking curiously.

"I heard that the head of the Xu family hosted a banquet for the head of the Wu family in Jingtian Building a few days ago, and instead of euphemistically mentioned that he wanted to marry Xu Minghui and the young head of the Wu family.

As a result, the head of the Wu family changed his face on the spot, threatening that the Wu family would never marry a woman like Xu Minghui,

The head of the Xu family loves his granddaughter very much, how can he bear this kind of ridicule, the two immediately had a big fight in the Jingtian Building, and in the end, if the steward of the Jingtian Building didn't intervene, the two old people almost didn't make a move on the spot Come on. "

Hu Yizhi shook his head and smiled, quite gloating.

The fourth brother had just died, and the head of the Xu family was anxious to find another marriage for the young lady of the Xu family.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help feeling a little sad,

A person's death is like a lamp being extinguished, no matter how much attention was paid to him or how favored he was by others, once he dies, he will just turn into a pile of loess, no different from ordinary people, and no one will take a second look.

Liu Xiaolu sighed slightly, and then he was a little puzzled,

"I also caught a glimpse of Miss Xu's family at the fourth brother's wedding banquet that day, and I saw that she was very charming. How could such a girl with extraordinary appearance, fair qualifications, and good background be so hateful to marry her?" ?”

"I heard that the girl didn't want to marry herself, so she kept teasing the children of the clan she chose for her, but the reaction of the head of the Wu family to this matter was a bit strange.

It stands to reason that if you are dissatisfied with this marriage, you should just refuse it politely.After all, the head of the Xu family is also a late-stage foundation-establishment monk, so there is really no need for the Wu family to turn against him with bad words. "Hu Yizhi shook his head and said.

"Perhaps the head of the Wu family has his own considerations, not necessarily just for this matter.

But what is the origin of the steward of the Jingtian Tower, which made the two foundation-building monks obediently stop, could it be a Jindan monk hiding in Zongyuan City? "

The pair of dark eyeballs on the girl's face rolled around, and she asked in surprise.

Hu Yizhi waved his hands when he heard the words, and explained, "That's not true. The Jingtian Building is only in charge of the tenth level of Qi Refining. Our Zongyuan City is not as hidden as Liuyuan City, and there are no Jindan monks haunting here."

"The tenth level of Qi refining?" Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu became even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "How can a monk in the Qi refining period manage the affairs of the two foundation-building monks? The restaurant was demolished?"

"Fool, ordinary Qi-refinement cultivators dare not offend Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the Jingtian Tower is different from ordinary restaurants, it does not belong to any power in Zongyuan City, but the Hedao Sect.

I heard that the steward in the Tiantian Building in the future is also a foundation-building cultivator. Later, that person thought that the spiritual energy in Zongyuan City was thin, so he spent a lot of spiritual stones, found a way in the Hedao Sect, and transferred back to the sect.

Therefore, the steward of Jingtianlou was replaced by the current monk in the Qi refining period. "Hu Yizhi shook his head and smiled.

"I see."

Liu Xiaolu nodded, not surprised that Jingtian Building belonged, after all Zongyuan City belonged to Hedao Sect's sphere of influence, it would be strange if there was no Hedao Sect's property in the city.

Moreover, it is as grand and luxurious as the Jingtian Tower, and it is often a restaurant that uses spiritual plants and beasts for cooking. Presumably the local forces in Zongyuan City do not have the ability to open it.

However, the spokesman of He Dao Sect in Zongyuan City turned out to be only a monk in the Qi refining period.
