"Let's talk about it..."
"Yeah, talk about it!"
Dongfang Huaizhu's firm answer did not exceed Lu Yuan's expectations.
but...
"There's really nothing to talk about."
His eyes flashed slightly, Lu Yuan did not continue following Dongfang Huaizhu's words, but rejected the conversation with a slight ruthlessness, and added lightly:
"You don't need to be grateful to me, nor do you need to have any hope in me; as a reasonably conscientious person, no matter what the outcome is, I will hand over a complete sacred volcano village into the hands of your sisters in the future. .”
"If this is the answer you want, then I have clearly given you this answer now."
"If you don't want this answer, then my shallow knowledge cannot answer the rest of your questions."
This is a clear rejection.
It’s not just the rejection revealed in the words.
It is also a rejection expressed from a subjective attitude.
Taking a deep breath, and then slowly exhaling it; the white and delicate little toes in the embroidered shoes curled up in shame, Dongfang Huaizhu pursed his lips, and said calmly with a sense of shame that his thoughts had been seen through:
"Junior brother, you misunderstood, I just want to tell you to be careful of Jin Renfeng..."
"So is it necessary to catch up and talk about this issue in person on this dark and windy night...Senior Sister?"
The pretended calm was instantly broken, and Dongfang Huaizhu lowered his head in embarrassment. Dongfang Huaizhu remained silent, seeming to be looking for a more perfect reason to explain what he did today.
to be honest.
Dongfang Huaizhu is not incapable of telling white lies.
But for some reason, she didn't want to use white lies to deal with the little hedgehog in front of her.
Um.
A sensitive and lonely little hedgehog.
The beggar's retort today must have hurt her little junior brother's heart. Although her father had taken action in time to clear away the suspicion that her little junior brother had been slandered, the scars on her heart were not that big. Can it be cured easily?
With this idea in mind, and the problem that this far-sighted junior brother just told, Dongfang Huaizhu still chose to chase him out.
But when the second question was raised...
Looking at Lu Yuan's cold but patient demeanor...
Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly felt that it was better not to express her concern at this moment.
After all, the concern at this moment is indeed very similar to the kind of hypocritical concern shown after getting a satisfactory answer!
However, without saying anything...
Taking a slight step forward, Dongfang Huaizhu took the initiative to break into the buffer zone left by the little hedgehog. Dongfang Huaizhu calmly opened his hands and hugged Lu Yuan, who had an incomprehensible expression.
"Thank you."
The girl in her arms said this.
But before Lu Yuanming came to his senses, Dongfang Huaizhu had already let go of his hand and walked quickly past him with his head lowered without saying a word. Only the rapid footsteps proved the panic in the girl's heart.
After a moment, Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It was obvious that he had guessed something.
but...
People tend to only believe the "truth" they have seen with their own eyes or investigated personally; but these "truths" are not actually the real truth of the whole thing!
It's a pity that even if he goes to find Dongfang Huaizhu, a cranky little girl now, even if he can tell her everything about the incident, Dongfang Huaizhu, who has already determined the truth of the matter, will not believe it.
not to mention...
The truth about his rebirth, as well as the events in his previous life and the life before that, still cannot be revealed at all!
so...
Turning around and looking at Dongfang Huaizhu, who passed by him not long ago but was now so far away that he could barely see his back, Lu Yuan smiled silently, and then sighed softly in his heart:
"My stupid senior sister..."
Just kidding.
After confirming that the torch had completely left, the smile on Lu Yuan's face gradually faded, he turned his head sideways, and his body changed direction while turning slightly.
"Sorry, something happened just now."
Pfft~
Before Lu Yuan could continue to threaten, a playful laugh suddenly sounded; and immediately, in the eyes of Yuan Maoru, who was facing an enemy, a familiar figure appeared in front of the two of them.
The flickering moonlight cannot provide clear light to identify the face of the visitor; but for this visitor who was classified as a "rude person" not long ago, Yuan Mao can be said to be very familiar with him. Familiar!
Li Muchen!
The third lady of the Li family!
It was also the unknown existence that quietly left under the noses of his two heartless brothers!
Li Muchen's presence has always been very low.
Of course, it cannot be said that her presence is particularly low, but compared with the two brothers who like to be in the spotlight or are forced to be in the limelight, Li Muchen, the ordinary little sister, is indeed not very eye-catching.
But Li Muchen didn't like this feeling.
However, the only thing that surprised her was the little brother who discovered her existence at a glance. He was also the one who could accurately detect her existence through the stealth technique that she thought was perfect!
In fact, Li Muchen didn't know that among the bustling crowd, more than one person could see through the stealth technique she thought was perfect.
But due to politeness and human kindness; there are only a few geniuses who can do it!
after all...
The Yang Family’s Sky Eye is no joke!
Just by relying on Yang Fangfang to be able to accurately see the Eye of Destiny on Lu Yuan's forehead after opening the Sky Eye, and even forcibly opening the protective layer of the Eye of Destiny through the Sky Eye, it already shows how powerful the Yang family's Sky Eye is!
Although they are both Heavenly Eyes, there must be a certain connection in order to forcibly open the Eye of Destiny, but which existence can be linked to the word destiny, which one is weak?
So, it’s really just a matter of seeing through it without telling it.
but...
At this moment, these details are completely useless; with a bit of a smile, Li Muchen joked:
"It's really not easy to hear an apology from your mouth."
"really."
Without any shame at all, under Li Muchen's dumb eyes, Lu Yuan nodded openly and gave a positive answer to the joke.
But before Li Muchen could ask again, Lu Yuan changed the subject and asked:
"So, you, the third young lady of the Li family, came to see me, the closed disciple of the owner of the Shenhuoshan Manor, on this dark and windy night. Do you have anything to say to me?"
Clarify each other's identities?
Are you worried that I will do something wrong to him?
A hint of cunning flashed in his light blue eyes, and Li Muchen tilted his head cutely.
"What? I can't come to you if I have nothing to say?"
"not to mention..."
"If I remember correctly, something similar was said to your good senior sister just now, right?"
"It seems like it's not just me who's insincere, but you too!"
Smiling like a little fox.
Lu Yuan commented like this.
Fortunately, he has no shortage of ways to deal with this kind of girl.
Raising his eyebrows, ignoring the hidden meaning in the other person's words, Lu Yuan glanced at the other person's bare feet on the ground expressionlessly, and asked in a disgraceful manner:
"are not you cold?"
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
certainly.
At that time, the thing I wanted to ask the most was Tushan Honghong.
But after two transformations, Lu Yuan suddenly understood Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Yaya's clothes.
For monsters with rough skin and thick flesh, temperature is not really important; unless it is a particularly hot or cold environment, the monster body will have strong adaptability to the surrounding environment.
Referring to the fact that after he was reborn in his previous life, his body was immune to cold and heat.
but...
Will humans like Li Muchen, especially those who major in Taoism, really feel no pain or cold when they step barefoot on the ground?
Lu Yuan didn't know.
But the smile on Li Muchen's face really froze under these words.
Trying to control his desire to punch Lu Yuan, the smile on Li Muchen's face slowly faded, he rolled his eyes in disgust, and retorted angrily:
"Of course it's not cold!"
If it was cold, would she dare to wear it like this?
Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, then looked at Li Muchen seriously, and politely refused:
"As long as you're not cold..."
"But I feel cold when I look at it, so if there's nothing else, let's not talk anymore. I'm going home."
Seeing the extremely uncooperative bastard in front of him raising his legs to leave, Li Muchen couldn't sit still. He didn't care about the stiff smile on his face, and rushed in front of Lu Yuan in three steps, blocking Lu Yuan's path. At the same time, he said anxiously:
"Okay, okay! I said that's it!"
"I can feel the difference in you, and I can hear what you meant from what you just said."
"To put it bluntly, I'm very curious about you!"
"So, I want to get to know you!"
The wind passed by quietly.
After a moment, Lu Yuan spoke to break the silence.
"Finished?"
"That's it."
"How much can you give?"
How much does it cost?
What's the meaning?
Li Muchen thought about it subconsciously, and then thought of an unlikely possibility, and asked bluntly:
"You're not going to make me pay any price to understand you, are you?"
"certainly."
Lu Yuan nodded calmly.
It seems like this is a reasonable thing.
Hearing this answer, Li Muchen almost didn't laugh angrily. He pointed at Lu Yuan with dissatisfaction, and then pointed at himself with dissatisfaction. After briefly sorting out his words, he retorted like a machine gun:
"While I get to know you, can't you also get to know me?"
"I understand that you need to pay a price, so what price do you want to know about me?"
"I don't want to know you!"
The cold gaze accompanied by a flash of murderous intent instantly shocked Li Muchen to the spot. Lu Yuan looked at the girl in front of him who was talking nonsense expressionlessly. While saying this, he also brushed shoulders with Li Muchen. And passed.
"after all..."
"It's you who want to take the initiative to understand me, not me who wants to take the initiative to understand you!"
Li Muchen stood frozen on the spot. It was not until he heard the cold words from Lu Yuan behind him that he could freeze someone to death. Then he slowly came back to his senses and tremblingly held on to the wall beside him.
He is mean to me!
He is hurting me! !
How dare he attack me! ! !
After a while, Li Muchen let go of his bitten lip.
It seems that I have regained some strength, and I also seem to have taken back some strength out of anger...
While reprimanding Lu Yuan for not respecting martial ethics, he impatiently used magic just because of two questions; while savoring this strange feeling, he stamped his feet angrily but feebly, holding on to the wall angrily, He walked back in the direction he came from.
Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.
He is talking about the current Li Muchen.
As for Lu Yuan...
At this moment, he had no intention of paying attention to Li Muchen, a girl with a weird personality. Instead, he sat calmly on the chair and stared at the survivors with different expressions on their faces.
Um.
The survivors who stayed after the big waves washed away the sand.
"This is not my choice, but the choice you made yourself; therefore, there is no need to think about thanking me, and there is no need to think about blaming me."
"I am a person who knows rewards and punishments."
"As a reward for your correct choice this time, except for one person, you can each make a request. To the extent that I can solve it, I will fulfill your request."
"If it's something I can't solve, then I will reward you by making up for your shortcomings respectively."
After clapping his hands, the already quiet little building became even quieter. Only the lingering sound of Lu Yuan, who was sitting at ease in the chair, could be heard:
"Let's talk about it separately."
His eyes rolled, he raised his hand tremblingly, and under everyone's gaze, the rather courageous boy asked:
"I hope to continue following you."
Betrayal has already happened once.
While he was glad that he had seen the right person, this quick-thinking beggar also accurately grasped the next most important core point - getting rid of the stain on himself that was implicated by those traitors!
As a long-term investment, this requirement is definitely not a waste.
certainly.
As a follower who wants to follow in a down-to-earth manner, this request is not a waste.
The boy's words are a good example.
It can be seen from the gradually brightening eyes of the other beggars that these clever children have learned a lot from this good beginning.
but...
"another."
He waved his hands expressionlessly. While rejecting the request, Lu Yuan explained pointedly:
"You have proven your own loyalty with your actions; some things depend on the process, but some things depend on the results."
Yuan Mao, who stood with his hands tied beside him, looked thoughtfully at the remaining companions.
After glancing at Yuan Mao's reaction, Lu Yuan also stopped his explanation and let Yuan Mao understand the meaning of this paragraph.
After looking at each other, this extremely courageous boy raised his hand again and asked:
"Then, I hope to learn Taoism!"
Sighing quite tiredly, Lu Yuan helplessly put his hand on his forehead and said in a low voice:
"Get another one."
Where is this place?
Divine Volcano Villa!
Even a handyman can have access to two-hand Taoism!
Therefore, this requirement is completely equivalent to no requirement at all...
The reason why I haven't come into contact with Taoism yet...
Firstly, the entry time is too short.
Secondly, it is because of their low status.
As time goes by, or your status improves, learning Taoism is just the foundation of the foundation. Every official disciple of Shenhuoshuo Manor basically has a certain level of cultivation, which can be seen from this point.
The two rejections clearly damaged the confidence of these survivors.
It wasn't that he was worried that Lu Yuan would break his promise.
I was just thinking about what requests Lu Yuan could agree to.
In this familiar silence, Lu Yuan tilted his head in boredom. The moment his eyes fell on Yuan Mao, an idea suddenly emerged.
He clapped his hands to wake up the survivors who were thinking hard. Ignoring the excited looks, Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said:
"I do have a good idea."
"I won't let you suffer, I just don't know if you can bear the pain."
"able!"
"Of course!"
Several jagged sounds sounded instantly.
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. Instead of destroying the children's self-confidence, he turned sideways and pointedly ordered the little maid beside him:
"Go to your closet and get seven new items of clothing in your and their sizes; remember, girls and boys just need to find them in men's sizes."
"You should know that there are no clothes that match them."
Flicking his fingers and looking at Yuan Mao's back limping away, Lu Yuan sighed with regret:
"Anyway, it's really not very convenient..."
"But the future will always be better!"
