Eternal Sword

Chapter 74 Calculation
Lu was also secretly sizing up the fair-skinned Taoist boy, thinking to herself, "Hmm... He's really handsome, even his fingers are so pretty, slender and long. If I were twenty years younger..."

Seeing that his wife had been staring at him for a long time without paying any attention to him, Lu Shizong could not help but pull her again and asked, "Do you think he looks like her?"

"like what?"

Mrs. Lu was so absorbed in her daydreams that she didn't pay attention to what Lu Shizong said.

Lu Shizong whispered, "Does he look like the kid from Xu Feng's family? He is said to be working in Wu'an County and has a promising future."

Upon hearing this, Lu looked at the Taoist boy a few more times and found that the more he looked, the more he resembled him.

"You know what, it seems to be him."

Lu also nodded quickly.

"Be silent and solemn in front of the Immortal!"

The disciple from Xuantian Temple couldn't bear to watch this and yelled at the two of them.

Lu Ziqi, who was holding the stone and sensing an opportunity, was startled. His hand trembled and the stone fell on the table.

Ten breaths passed and there was no response.

Lu Shizong quickly explained: "Don't be upset, Immortal Master. We think this Immortal Master looks familiar. He is probably from the same hometown as us."

"Yeah yeah."

Lu looked at the fair-skinned Taoist boy and asked hurriedly, "Master, you are from Changze County, and your father's surname is Xu?"

The Xuanmen disciple looked at the Taoist boy with half belief and half doubt. This boy's surname was indeed Xu.

The fair-skinned Taoist boy had an indifferent expression, neither sad nor happy, and just nodded slightly.

"It's really you, you are Xu Tong, right?"

"Oh my, in the blink of an eye, you have grown so big and are so handsome."

"Look at the child of the Xu family, he is really promising. You are the glory of our Changze County. Look at Old Xu, he never told us that you were practicing in Xuantian Temple. We thought you were just fooling around in Wu'an County."

"Xiaotong, do you still remember that I held you in my arms when you were a child? You were only this big then."

Lu gestured as he spoke.

Xu Tong had no impression of these two people, but he vaguely remembered that they were from Changze County.

Before this, he was indeed just doing odd jobs and hard labor in Xuantian Temple.

Later, he was accidentally noticed by the master of the temple, who found that he had the aptitude for cultivation, so he was accepted as a disciple and became the personal Taoist child of the master of Xuantian Temple. It could be said that he reached the top in one step.

However, before he had the chance to inform his family about these things, he received the news that both his parents had passed away.

He didn't go back.

There was nothing valuable in the house, so he didn't like it.

It would be better for him to die, so that he would not be burdened by these emotional ties and worldly affairs.

In his view, it was extremely ridiculous that Lu Shizong and the other two were trying to establish contact with him.

Xu Tong said calmly: "No matter who it is, if they have no fate with Xuanmen, then they have no fate."

Lu Shizong and the other man blushed and looked embarrassed.

"Yes, the Immortal Master is right."

Seeing Xu Tong's indifferent expression and his obvious lack of sympathy, Lu Shizong knew that it would be useless to continue to argue with him, so he could only laugh dryly and leave with Lu and Lu Ziqi.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Chen Tang and others standing at the end of the line.

Lu Shizong's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

"By the way, Immortal Master, do you know that your father and his wife were murdered?"

Lu Shizong turned around again and asked in a low voice.

Xu Tongdao: "Hasn't the case been closed? The murderer broke into the house and has been arrested."

"That's true."

Lu Shizong said, "Your father originally bought you a girl, thinking that she would be your wife in the future. After your father and your father died, the girl was taken away by another family. Now, the girl should come to serve you."

Mrs. Lu's mind was quick, and she understood immediately, saying, "That's what I mean. Even if you don't like me, it's good to keep me around and do some odd jobs."

Xu Tong looked indifferent.

He had heard about this in a letter from his father, who said that he had bought a little girl who was a beauty.

But he was already in Wu'an County at that time and had never seen this girl. However, in a poor and remote place like Changze County, what kind of beauty could his father, with his inexperienced vision, buy?
Most likely she is a rustic country girl.

He wouldn't accept it even if it was given to him for free.

What is his current status?
As a popular figure around the master of Xuantian Temple, even if the Magistrate of Changze County came, he would have to be inferior to him. How could he look down on that kind of guy?

As if seeing Xu Tong's thoughts, Lu Shizong added: "In fact, that girl does look good. She also came to the Taoist temple this time. Master, you may want to take a look. She is just behind."

After saying that, Lu Shizong secretly pointed to the rear of the team.

Xu Tong raised his eyes and looked in Zhiwei's direction, his eyes flickering.

After Zhiwei was rescued by Chen Tang, she had good food and clothes at home, and her injuries had almost healed.

Although she doesn't look very old, she has grown into a graceful and beautiful lady.

This girl... well, not bad, looks quite smart.

Although Xu Tong thought this in his mind, he remained calm and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Shizong did not stay any longer. He took Lu and the child, lowered his head and quickly left the hall without looking in the direction of Chen Tang and others.

In fact, it was just a sudden inspiration on his part.

After all, he suffered a big setback at the hands of Chen Tang and felt very resentful.

However, with his methods, it was difficult for him to gain any advantage over Chen Tang, and he did not dare to provoke him.

In that case, why not create some trouble for Chen Tang!

He didn't need to say everything, just get the message across.

If Xu Tong is really as nonchalant and unconcerned as he appears to be, then Chen Tang is lucky.

If Xu Tong wants to get his hands on that little girl, there will definitely be a dispute between him and Chen Tang!
No matter how powerful Chen Tang is, can he defeat the immortal master of Xuantian Temple?
In short, he would have nothing to lose no matter what.

Waited in line for a long time.

Finally it was Chen Tang and the other two's turn.

They had been watching for so long, and had tested at least hundreds of people before, but not a single one had a reaction.

Qingmu has already tested it, so there is no need to test it again.

Chen Tang paid one hundred taels of silver.

He did not bow to any immortal master or god, but walked forward, stretched out his big hand and grabbed the stone.

I waited for ten breaths, but there was no response.

Chen Tang put the stone back to its original place.

This result was not unexpected, so I am not disappointed.

Encouraged by Qingmu, Zhiwei also stepped forward, grabbed the stone, closed her eyes, and concentrated her mind very seriously.

Ten breaths passed and there was still no response.

"Let's go."

Chen Tang felt a little regretful.

This is equivalent to a hundred taels of silver being wasted without even a sound being heard.

"You three, please stay."

At this moment, the fair-skinned Taoist boy in the hall suddenly spoke.

Chen Tang and the other two turned around with some confusion.

Xu Tong smiled and said, "I think this little girl is very spiritual and has a strong affinity with Xuanmen. Would you like to join Xuanmen and practice under me?"

Chen Tang frowned and said, "Didn't she just test it and there was no reaction?"

"There is indeed no response."

Xu Tong said calmly: "But the opportunities of Xuanmen are beyond words, and cannot be accurately measured by a blade of grass or a stone. You ordinary people naturally don't understand the truth."

Why are you pretending in front of me?

Chen Tang sneered and said, "Let's go and ignore him."
