"so..."
"Is this what you think?"
"It seems that I really think highly of you..."
Listening to the dictation of Yuan Mao next to him and the clues he learned from the mouths of the beggars, Lu Yuan sat calmly on the chair. The old god held the tea cup in his hand comfortably, took a sip of tea, and sighed slowly.
Yuan Mao, who was standing beside her with her hands hanging down, naturally didn't understand what her master meant. After all, based on her knowledge, she was still a bit immature when it came to dealing with such intrigues.
certainly.
Not only is Yuan Mao a bit young, Dongfang Huaizhu, Dongfang Qinlan and even Dongfang Guyue also behave immaturely in this kind of intrigue.
Otherwise, Jin Renfeng would not be alive today!
Slowly placing the warm tea cup in his hand on the table, Lu Yuan stood up calmly, walked to the clean and tidy bed and sat on it. While sitting cross-legged, he opened his mouth and told Yuan Mao:
"There is no need to fight for temporary success."
"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes will be torn to pieces."
"Let the children under your command be in peace."
"Based on seeing the layout clearly..."
"What is needed is not to scare the monkeys by killing variables, nor to continue to test with a few chess pieces, but to be quietly prepared to face everything."
"certainly..."
"If anyone other than Master asks, just say I am in a bad mood."
"If you ask, use this excuse to excuse yourself. If you don't ask, just shut up."
"As for asking about other aspects...just don't know anything."
"The rest of the work..."
Lu Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
Before closing the door respectfully, Yuan Mao heard the Lord's precise and confident words as if announcing a fact...
"Let our enemies do it!"
"yes!"
Standing outside the door, Yuan Mao suppressed the thoughts and coldness in his eyes, and spoke firmly and quietly to the closed door in front of him.
The silence inside the door is like water.
There was a raging fire outside the door.
In fact, when the news reached Yuan Mao's ears and was informed to Lu Yuan by Yuan Mao, things were no longer as described!
Time will pass!
The result is naturally that the anger in the hearts of many disciples of Shenhuoshuo Manor is accumulating more and more; especially these disciples of Shenhuoshuo Manor, most of them still take the route of controlling fire...
To put it bluntly...
As long as there is a fuse now, these careless disciples of Shenhuo Manor can explode on the spot for anyone to see!
Including but not limited to Dongfang Guyue.
Although for Dongfang Guyue, this is not a big trouble.
But, let's be honest.
Looking at the current situation that he had deduced by himself, even Jin Renfeng could not help but feel a little bit of pressure.
But this kind of pressure just proves the success of his layout!
Only in this way can he...
Give this "little junior brother" the biggest surprise!
Squeezing the pile of invitations in his hand, Jin Renfeng seemed to have thought of something worth being happy about. The ever-present sinister look in Jin Renfeng's eyes faded a little, and he turned around and left this place that made him feel extremely noisy.
.
The Shenshan Mountain Villa is not an isolated place.
Even if it's not as good as the Wang Quan family's intricate network of connections in the Taoist Alliance, it's still better than the Xiao family that every family currently hates!
therefore...
When sending invitations, in order to show respect and to reflect the importance of this recruitment...
How could he, the eldest brother of Shenhuo Manor, not make a trip himself?!
but...
Think about it carefully...
"You are so partial!"
After all, when he first became a disciple, that old immortal had never thought of holding an apprenticeship banquet like this one to notify the entire Tao Alliance!
and...
Let him, the senior brother of Shenhuo Manor, personally send invitations to various forces!
Her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, trying to block the cold light in her eyes. Jin Renfeng stepped out of the gate of Shenhuo Manor, subconsciously glanced back at the plaque on the door, sneered secretly in her heart, and then stepped out without looking back.
On the way to send invitations.
He will prepare a big gift!
On that coming day!
...
It is different from Jin Renfeng who has great ambitions.
If Yuan Mao got the news from his friends who were born in the same place, then for Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan, there was no need to get the news through such a cumbersome way.
especially...
The news that Yuan Mao and others learned was incomplete due to his background, and could only be said to be pieced together from fragments.
Fortunately, these beggars are quite smart and know who to follow after seeing the dangers of people's hearts. They also know that before they see the dawn, they will always face the most unbearable darkness.
Fortunately, they have become accustomed to enduring the darkness, and are trying hard to prove their worth so that they can turn it into merit when dawn comes.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Yuan Mao will be completely kept in the dark!
As for Oriental Huaizhu...
What a joke!
In front of the eldest lady of Shenhuoshuo Manor, even if they don't want to say anything, how dare these ordinary disciples of Shenhuoshuo Manor still deceive her?
The current Shenhuo Mountain Villa is not the same as when Jin Renfeng could cover the sky with one hand!
Dongfang Guyue, the old owner of the village, is a good hand at killing demons. Even if he is not very skilled at killing people, he will not make mistakes like being soft-handed!
Therefore, after asking for a while, Dongfang Huaizhu observed silently in the dark for a while before returning to Dongfang Qinlan.
The breeze blows.
In the pavilion, Qin Lan took a bite of the candied haws in his hand very naturally, and silently watched his sister walking around anxiously not far away, her smart eyes moving slightly, obviously thinking about some evil idea.
"Sister, if you are really worried, how about I go for you and warn my junior brother?"
After hearing Dongfang Qinlan's outrageous words, Dongfang Huaizhu raised his forehead speechlessly, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said unceremoniously:
"I believe he should be able to handle this."
"but..."
"Whether it's based on age or seniority, you should call him senior brother, not junior brother. Although it's okay to call him that way now, you'd better change your name after some time."
That's right.
In name, this is indeed the case.
Since the current Dongfang Qinlan is still young, he has not yet been officially accepted as a disciple by Dongfang Guyue, and he has not even been given the title of "disciple" yet.
certainly.
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
Whether Dongfang Qinlan is a disciple or not is actually a matter that can be solved with just one sentence for Dongfang Guyue.
After all, in a certain sense, even if he does not have this title, can the father still hide his secrets from his daughter in terms of knowledge or practice?
Therefore, it is actually okay to say that we are masters and apprentices at present.
But the embarrassment lies in the status!
Especially when Lu Yuan, the "closed disciple", had been named, Dongfang Qinlan, who had not considered this relationship at first, was suddenly awakened by Dongfang Huaizhu's casual words.
Close disciples are different from all disciples!
After accepting a closed disciple, the master will not accept another apprentice.
It can also be said that the last disciple is the last apprentice of a master!
therefore...
With the rules hard to break, this is Dongfang Qinlan's last chance to call herself the "little senior sister"!
If you miss this opportunity...
From now on, whether I see the bad guy Jin Renfeng or the little junior brother Lu Yuan, I am afraid I will have to lower my head and call him senior!
At least that's true on the surface...
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qinlan no longer cared about eating the candied haws in his hand, subconsciously jumped from the stone bench to the ground, and ran out of the pavilion under Dongfang Huaizhu's extremely puzzled eyes.
Dongfang Huaizhu had no idea that his sister, who had a sudden whim, was on her way to beg her father to temporarily increase the number of apprentices. If she knew about it, she would be so angry that she would take Dongfang Qinlan back on the spot.
What a joke!
The invitations have been sent out!
Can this thing be taken back and reissued?
If this is true, the face of Shenhuo Mountain Villa will probably be completely lost!
The apprenticeship banquet for two disciples was also the apprenticeship banquet for Dongfang Guyue to accept two disciples as disciples at the same time; this cannot be said to have nothing to do with the closing disciples written on the invitation, but it can only be said that there is a big difference.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that selling dog meat with a sheep's head on one's head is a bit exaggerated.
But it will definitely embarrass the guests.
After all, when it comes to gifts, guests usually prepare them according to what is described on the invitation, which is the standard of a gift!
At most, he will be a little richer because of his reputation as a "closed disciple", but he will definitely not prepare two copies in advance!
But even if Dongfang Huaizhu knew about Qin Lan's sudden whim, he probably wouldn't have the time to deal with his sister's sudden whim at this moment.
Although she did say "I believe he can handle this matter" in what she just said, only this delicate girl knows whether she believes it or not.
Dongfang Huaizhu thought he could still see clearly in the undercurrent of Shenhuo Manor!
But just because I saw a thing or two clearly, I felt more and more how difficult this matter was to handle!
Although it was not clear whether Jin Renfeng, the bastard who failed to seek marriage and then coveted her, was involved, Dongfang Huaizhu definitely felt an undercurrent surging silently, which seemed to be deliberate.
The anger of the disciples was brewing until...
Find a critical moment that is enough to serve as an outlet!
Then suddenly burst out and vented!
But she still doesn't know what this outlet is.
perhaps...
In fact, there is no outlet for venting, there is just a deliberate trigger!
Dongfang Huaizhu shook his head violently, getting rid of the increasingly outrageous thoughts in his mind, and then sighed involuntarily.
The days when there is no hope are always so difficult.
But when she sees hope in the darkness, every step forward is destined to be frightening; but she is destined to move forward, because she has no way out.
It's fine for a short time.
Twenty years later...
If there is a little more, thirty years later...
She believed that Jin Renfeng, who had impure motives from the beginning, would never mind taking her and Qin Lan into his pocket and making them his own.
This is to be expected.
There are indeed ways to retreat, but they are not easy to follow.
therefore...
"I hope you can succeed..."
Raising his head and looking at the white clouds in the sky, Dongfang Huaizhu pursed his lips, and while closing his eyes, a faint sigh sounded:
"After all, at this moment, I really can't help you in the slightest."
Dongfang Huaizhu's worries are indeed unnecessary.
Based on the success of Jin Renfeng's plan, there is no need for her to worry.
On the basis of Lu Yuan's successful counterattack, there was no need for her to worry.
The result of the matter is nothing more than the above two.
Neither of these two types of things need worry Dongfang Huaizhu.
This fact proves one thing: smarter people tend to think more.
Just like the Oriental Huaizhu at this moment.
Another example is the fat old man with white hair who just received Jin Renfeng - Mr. Wang Quan Fei!
certainly.
At this moment, he is just an unassuming butler. Although he is indeed a big butler and will not be seen clearly by most people, he has not shown any tyranny.
This can be seen from letting a little girl snatch the invitation from his hand.
After all, for the current Wang Quan Fei Lao, it is really easy to stop Wang Quan Zui from such unconventional behavior!
"Brother, look what this is?"
"Invitation from Shenhuo Manor!"
A young man with sharp eyes and a childish face but with a trace of heroic spirit walked slowly over. At a glance, he saw Wang Quanzui running towards him, and Mr. Fei who was smiling bitterly behind Wang Quanzui.
A great master whose cultivation level he couldn't even see clearly was easily snatched away from his invitation by his younger sister who was proficient in illusion...
While Wang Quan Hegemony felt extremely speechless, his attention was also attracted by Wang Quanzui's self-questioning words behind him.
Invitation letter from Shenhuo Manor?
This is indeed rare.
At least to his knowledge, he had never seen an invitation letter from Shenhuo Manor.
It is different from the Wang Quan family.
Although Shenhuo Manor is also very powerful, it does not have as wide a network of contacts as the Wang Quan family, which naturally saves a lot of trouble in interpersonal communication.
There are benefits.
But there are also disadvantages.
With little human interaction, King Quan Hegemony has never even seen what the Shenhuo Mountain Villa looks like.
He has been to the Yang family, the Li family, the Zhang family, and many mansions of top families like the Wang Quan family, and got along very well with the children of those top families.
In fact, he knew very well that this was the Wang Quan family silently paving the way for him.
After all, the heads of the royal family in the past dynasties were basically the leaders of the Tao Alliance.
However, he was also very fortunate that he did make a group of close friends, instead of going through this process like a zombie on an errand.
therefore...
This invitation from Shenhuo Manor has indeed aroused the interest of the royal family.
Wang Quan Fei Lao on the side obviously saw through his young master's thoughts. He smiled as he watched Wang Quan Zui open the invitation without authorization, and then explained with a smile:
"Early this morning, the senior brother of the Shenhuo Mountain Villa came to pay his respects. At first, the old slave was startled, thinking that something had happened to the old owner of the Shenhuo Mountain Villa..."
"The young master also knows that the old manor owner went to the South Country a few days ago. The old slave thought it was this at first. Later, he learned through the elder brother of Shenhuo Manor that it seemed that there was something about the old manor owner's collection.
Disciple matters..."
Before Wang Quan Fei Lao finished speaking, Wang Quan Hegemony heard Wang Quan sighing strangely while drunk:
"It seems that they suddenly want to close the disciples, and then invite our Wang Quan family to watch the ceremony...is this what you mean?"
"Brother, look at it?"
The elegant wording obviously made Wang Quan Zui dizzy. After a brief interpretation, he handed the invitation to Wang Quan Hegemony.
Glancing at Wang Quan Zui speechlessly, Wang Quan Hegemony took the invitation and glanced at it. After roughly understanding the meaning, he suddenly felt a little surprised; he calmly handed the invitation back to Wang Quan Fei Lao, Wang Quan Hegemony subconsciously muttered to himself.
Analysis:
"Close disciple..."
"Is it possible that the owner of Dongfang Village plans to accept his daughter as a closed disciple?"
"If so, why not express it directly?"
"Let's talk about Dongfang Manor Master..."
"Brother!" Wang Quanzui's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Wang Quan Hegemony's soliloquy. At the same time, Wang Quan Hegemony subconsciously turned his head to look at the sister beside him.
"Why do you think so much?"
"We'll know if we go and see it then?"
Wang Quanzui's suggestion was indeed a good idea, and it also made Wang Quan Hegemony stop thinking about it, but there were some things that the two of them could not have the final say on.
but...
How could King Fei Lao disapprove of King Quan’s hegemony?
Not to mention that they have not communicated with each other for a long time, but Shenhuo Manor has always had a good relationship with the Wang Quan family. Even if it is the Xiao family who is the supervisor, why have the Wang Quan family ever been afraid?!
Since the owner of Dongfang Manor invited them, the Wang Quan family has decided on this event!
certainly.
King Fei Lao didn't know much about it.
