Taixue Palace.
East courtyard.
Li Ziye, who had been tortured by Tantai Jingyue for many days, finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to Taixue Palace for some air and to complain.
"Old man, are you really unable to save Little Red Riding Hood's life?"
In the garden, Li Ziye pulled out a juicy green vegetable, washed it briefly, and gnawed on it while asking.
"No."
Confucius glanced at the green vegetables he had worked so hard to grow with distress, and said, "As you said, there are specialties in the art industry, and I am not good at extending life."
"It's depressing to be controlled by others."
Li Ziye ate the green vegetables in two bites and said, "If it weren't for Little Red Riding Hood, why would I have to suffer from such cowardice? I would just report it and send it to her."
"not that simple."
Confucius squatted in the vegetable garden, fiddling with his one-third acre of land, and said, "Since she dared to come to the Great Shang Capital, she was fully prepared. Even if Wang Yu didn't survive, she had other ways. , so that you don’t dare to act rashly.”
"That's true."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "I still owe her a favor."
"What did you promise her back then?" Confucius turned his head and asked.
"can not say."
Li Ziye shook his head and said, "When I asked her to extend Little Red Riding Hood's life, I made a promise not to tell anyone."
"I didn't see it, but you still kept your promise." Confucius said with a gentle smile.
"I am a person who always keeps my promises."
Li Ziye carefully buried the leftover vegetable roots back and said, "Old man, what do you think we should do? That Tantai Jingyue has been hanging around, and I've been worried all day long."
"Li Yuan is your mansion, what are you afraid of her for?"
Confucius said, "Do whatever you need to do. She is asking you for help now. She doesn't want to break up with you unless she has to."
"It makes some sense."
Li Ziye touched his chin and said, "Should I ask for rent? Otherwise, it would be such a loss. Old man, what do you think I want to ask for?"
"What do you lack?" Confucius reminded.
"Short of money."
Li Ziye blurted out and said.
"..."
Confucius was speechless and didn't want to deal with this silly boy anymore.
Li Ziye quickly came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I am short of divine items. As long as I find enough divine items, I can break the last two veins."
Having said this, Li Ziye looked at the Confucian leader aside and asked, "Old man, do you know where Tantai Jingyue's Immortality Monument is hidden? I'll find some professionals to steal it for it."
"On Tantai Jingyue." Confucius replied.
"On your body?"
Li Ziye said in surprise, "How is it possible? The twelve immortal tablets weigh a hundred and eighty kilograms in total. How can she put them on her body?"
"Fantasy objects cannot be explained by ordinary theories."
Confucius scooped up a ladle of water, watered the green vegetables in front of him, and explained, "Just like the Book of Heaven, it is a book but not a book, the same is true for the Immortal Stele, it is a stele but not a stele."
"Senior masters like Confucian Master really speak with depth."
Li Ziye said helplessly, "That girl, you mean, you can't steal it?"
"not easy."
Confucius said truthfully, "Don't have such crooked thoughts. Think about how to get more practical benefits for yourself. After all, you also took such a big risk for her."
"That makes sense."
Li Ziye nodded in agreement, stood up immediately, patted the dirt on his butt, and said, "Let's go, go back and ask for rent!"
After saying that, Li Ziye didn't stay any longer and walked towards the outside of the small courtyard.
"be careful."
From behind, Confucius reminded again, "This Tantai goddess is a great threat to you. The only good thing is that she is in Li Garden now, and her fate cannot suppress you. Therefore, you can take this opportunity to learn more about her." Check out your opponent."
"Know."
Li Ziye waved his hand and said, "It's all arranged. Let's give it a try tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ziye left the small courtyard and walked straight outside the Imperial Academy.
Half an hour later.
Li Yuan.
West Wing, in the courtyard.
Li Ziye and Tantai Jingyue sat looking at each other.
The atmosphere is a bit weird.
Tantai Jingyue was quietly making tea, her movements were flowing and flowing, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Li Ziye just looked at him and said nothing.
soon.
The tea was boiling, and Tantai Jingyue took off the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"Tiannu's tea art is much better than many tea art masters in the Central Plains." Li Ziye spoke in appreciation.
"It's just familiar."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "Master Li went out for a trip and came back. He seems to be in a much better mood."
"Really? Maybe."
Li Ziye picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked directly without beating around the bush, "The goddess has also lived in Li Garden for several days. When are you going to extend Bai Wangyu's life?"
"Before leaving." Tantai Jingyue replied.
"Tiannu, when will you leave?" Li Ziye continued to ask.
"Within ten days." Tantai Jingyue responded.
"Ten days?"
Hearing this, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The goddess should know that this is a sensitive period of war between the two dynasties. Li Yuan took the goddess in, but she took a huge risk. Ten days is too long."
"Whatever you want, just tell me."
Tantai Jingyue also asked directly without any nonsense.
"I just want to ask the goddess for a small favor."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "The goddess may not know that my eight meridians are naturally blocked. I have tried every means to break them over the past two years, using countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Unfortunately, there are still two meridians left that cannot be broken."
Having said this, Li Ziye paused, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said seriously, "To break the Ren and Du channels, only divine objects can be used. I wonder if I can borrow the Heavenly Lady's Immortality Monument?"
"borrow?"
Tantai Jingyue looked at the serious expression of the person in front of her and said calmly, "The eight meridians are blocked. Every time one of them is broken, the difficulty will be doubled. How can the last two meridians of Ren and Du be broken? With the financial and material resources of the Li family, I won’t wait until today. If my guess is correct, if I want to break the Ren and Du lineage, the power of the Immortal Monument will most likely be exhausted. I’m afraid Mr. Li’s so-called borrowing will never have the chance to repay it.”
Li Ziye didn't feel any embarrassment after his conspiracy was revealed. He chuckled and said, "If you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work? Li Yuan has taken such a big risk for the goddess, so the goddess always has to give a little help."
"The Immortal Monument will definitely not work."
Tantai Jingyue directly refused, "However, if Mr. Li wants a divine object, I can give him a suggestion."
"Goddess, please speak."
Li Ziye said with a strange color flashing in his eyes.
"The red crystal stone in Akamatsuharu's hand."
Tantai Jingyue took a sip of tea and said, "Chisongqing, who was able to defeat the Nine Nether King with his cultivation at the pinnacle of the Four Realms, relied on the power of the red crystal stone. If Mr. Li can get the red crystal stone, he can break the pulse." , maybe it’s feasible.”
Hearing this, Li Ziye immediately understood something, and said with a half-smile, "The goddess is really good at making calculations. I heard that Chi Songqing's unstable temperament is a major hidden danger in the eight tribes of Mobei. The goddess wants to borrow me Use your own hands to eradicate this person, it’s like killing someone with a borrowed knife, killing two birds with one stone, clever!"
"Everyone takes what he needs."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "I know the weaknesses of Chi Songqing's technique, so I can leave it to Mr. Li."
