Lu Yuan's tactful refusal actually did not exceed Huan Du Qingtian's expectations.
With their current status, if they really want to accept disciples, they must be good ones selected from thousands of people. If they don't want to accept disciples, it will be useless to persuade them.
And judging from Lu Yuan's age...
From the very beginning, Huan Du Qingtian had no intention of letting Lu Yuan accept Huan Du Luolan as his disciple, not to mention that the two had not learned together.
As for...
Master 70% of the power of heaven and earth...
Huandu Qingtian realized that this kind of method should not be coveted by his little Demon King, nor could it be obtained through some small means.
Greed is greed, and longing is thinking.
Life still comes first.
not to mention...
The human in front of me is not dead yet!
Even if he is really ready to make a move, he should not expose his thoughts at this juncture and covet this extremely powerful technique!
After all, Huan Du Qingtian felt that if something like this, which could be called the foundation of a great power, was touched by outsiders, it would end in death.
Therefore, as long as he could avoid being touched, Huandu Qingtian, who currently knew that he could not defeat the human demon emperor, thought it would be better to be careful.
therefore.
Even after receiving Lu Yuan's rejection, Huan Du Qingtian still looked smiling. After a moment of pause, he slowly said with a smile:
"I didn't have this idea."
"But if little brother Lu can teach this troubled daughter of me some skills, to be honest, I would be very grateful."
Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
Good guy...
After wandering around for a while and thinking over and over for a long time, it turned out that he didn't come with the intention of becoming a disciple, but with the intention of stealing one!
certainly.
This is actually not considered stealing.
In the final analysis, it is up to him to decide what to teach or not. After all, the old fox Huan Du Qingtian has no requirements in this matter; he must have expected this early on.
However, in fact, whether to teach or not, in the final analysis, it is most directly related to the favor owed by Nanguo in advance.
Well taught...
I owe you more favors.
Not taught well...
Favors are just that.
If anyone really takes this kind of thing seriously and places high hopes on it, he must be an irrational person.
To put it more simply...
In fact, it's just a matter of casting a wide net, and you may not know which favor will be used one day; but don't accumulate this thing with a utilitarian mind, otherwise, the disappointment will directly crush your hope.
but...
"It's okay to teach her how to use her hands..."
Leaning leisurely by the window, Lu Yuan glanced at the much thinner smoke in the room and Huandu Qingtian, who was waiting patiently with a calm expression. Lu Yuan added slowly:
"But the things I teach are generally difficult."
"Also, let me tell you in advance that I am not a qualified teacher. In terms of teaching level, there are actually quite a lot of flaws and errors. There are even many things that I teach that go against common sense..."
"As for favors..."
"That's not necessary."
"Since she can help me carry the flag, the things I teach her will be regarded as labor fees."
"how?"
The ugly words come first, which is Lu Yuan's usual style.
It is indeed okay to ask him to teach both hands, but the premise is that he cannot guarantee that Huandu Luolan can learn the two hands he teaches, and he is not like taking responsibility.
therefore...
If Huandu Qingtian still insists on letting him teach Huandu Luolan two tricks, it means that Huandu Qingtian has acquiesced to the fact that he may not be able to learn it.
Therefore, these words are advice.
But when this kind of advice fell in the ears of Huan Du Qingtian, Huan Du Qingtian didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he said simply:
"That's okay!"
"That `s a deal!"
"But I'm not a stingy person either."
"You can teach her how to do it, and you can pay for the labor."
"But as her father, I can naturally offer my personal kindness as a teacher."
"Don't refuse. If you refuse again, you won't give me face!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan seemed to want to refute something, Huan Du Qingtian deliberately kept a straight face and ended the matter half seriously and half jokingly. Then he nodded apologetically to Lu Yuan and disappeared in an instant.
An equal relationship is the necessary basis for maintaining a complete conversation. Even if this equal relationship is not actually equal in nature, it doesn't matter as long as the difference is not big.
Therefore, even though he knew that his combat power could not match Lu Yuan's, Huan Du Qingtian still showed an attitude of not allowing any explanation and settled the matter directly.
Both are demon kings.
He has this qualification.
Although it is indeed impolite, it is better than repeatedly declining, causing the relationship that has just eased to become stiff again.
In this regard, Lu Yuan did not continue to refute, nor did he choose to catch up and explain it clearly. He just shrugged helplessly, leaned against the window, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and his thoughts slightly dispersed...
It's quiet at night.
This night was exceptionally peaceful.
certainly.
To be precise, it should be that the second half of the night was particularly peaceful.
In the first half of the night, Lu Yuan had been dealing with the trivial matters brought about by a certain little fox who had taken refuge. Then he returned to his residence without stopping and accepted a commission from Huandu Qingtian.
No free time at all.
Only in the second half of the night was it really quiet, leaving him a certain amount of time to think and plan for the follow-up.
A quiet atmosphere can make chaotic thoughts become relatively calm.
Although there is no logic, this is the fact that there is no logic.
As the pen tip circulated, several more points suddenly appeared on the map of the southern country. If you look at it from a sufficiently macro perspective, you can see that these temporarily marked points are all dangerous places.
In other words...
These places may not have strong city defenses.
But once a strong person guards these points, it will have a certain impact on the entire Southern Kingdom, and may even forcibly separate the entire Southern Kingdom!
But it is obvious that the successive monarchs of the Southern Kingdom were also aware of this problem. Although they did not have Lu Yuan's keen vision, their accumulated experience over thousands of years allowed them to make good enough judgments.
pity...
"Strength is a flaw!"
Along with the collision sound caused by the cap of the pen being closed, Lu Yuan's muttering was perfectly covered up, leaving only the flickering candle in front of the table, swaying in the wind.
That’s it!
There is no obstacle to conquering the south!
However, in order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from happening, Lu Yuan chose not to believe the decree issued by Huandu Qingtian. Instead, he took the decree with Huandu Luolan and beat all the remaining demon kings in the Southern Kingdom together.
certainly.
In this process, it is inevitable to leave some flags in key places in the South. However, Lu Yuan believes that if only some "ordinary" flags are left, the old fox Huan Du Qingtian will not be able to I don't mind, and I won't break up with him over this trivial matter.
In fact, having said that, Lu Yuan also knew that what he did was indeed unreasonable.
Don't look at just flags.
In fact, with these flags, he can jump to the Southern Kingdom at any time and even easily cut off the main artery of the Southern Kingdom.
after all...
When the upper limit is raised, it is not difficult to move people who also hold the mark to these coordinates.
Therefore, even if Nanguo really wanted to break the agreement and betray him one day, he could appear from behind and defeat Nanguo, who had something to rely on at that time!
However, it does sound a bit sinister.
In particular, the two are still in the running-in period.
so...
"I'm glad I'm a shameless person."
Lu Yuan stared at the drawings on the table dimly. After looking at them for a long time, he smiled and sighed, then rolled up the drawings on the table expressionlessly and stuffed them into the ring in his hand.
Theoretically speaking, this is not necessary.
The existence of storage space has actually allowed Lu Yuan to avoid such cumbersome and backward storage methods.
pity.
Public is public, private is private.
This is an experience he left to successive generations of successors. It can also be called a template, and it is naturally included in this dragon head trigger.
This is also done to allow the successors to see clearly what a real person in power should do, and what his thoughts, ideas, and even motives are.
In short, no matter whether the successors look at it or not, Lu Yuan does not want those successors after Yuan Mao to be a group of arrogant fools.
That is undoubtedly ruining his achievements!
only...
Not expecting anything from anyone is indeed one of the clearest and wisest choices in this world.
Including himself!
After thinking about this, Lu Yuan sighed softly, dispelling the remaining depression in his heart, and then calmly picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of warm tea.
Um.
tasty.
Therefore, I have to admit that pure Yang Yan is actually quite useful.
certainly.
People always want to think optimistically.
It was like at this moment, when he stayed here, he not only had to deal with a lot of troubles, but also had to worry about the future with his hands tied.
If you look at it from another perspective, although the time he will stay here in the Southern Kingdom will increase, he will also be able to better teach Huandu Luolan, the princess of the Southern Kingdom, which can be considered as an additional strengthening of the relationship between the human and demon tribes in the Southern Kingdom. And from the side, it promotes the friendly relationship between these monsters in the southern country and the Taoist priests of the Yiqi Tao Alliance.
As for the Southern Kingdom, if the Southern Kingdom can get along well with the First Air Alliance, but the First Air Alliance does not want to get along well with the Southern Kingdom, what should we do if this happens?
Lu Yuan feels...
You can try to interrupt some of the shit sticks within the Yiqi Dao Alliance!
This not only fundamentally eliminates these fools who cannot see the overall situation, but also creates a situation that scares the monkeys to those small families who are just like the outsiders.
Once and for all, indeed.
pity...
This opportunity should be rare.
And even if he found this opportunity, Lu Yuan didn't want to personally interrupt this shit stick; after all, no one wants to get stuck in shit.
so...
"You're not going to leave these dirty and tiring jobs to me, are you?"
As if he sensed Lu Yuan's extremely impolite thoughts, a voice suddenly sounded in Lu Yuan's heart, full of surprise and disgust, and asked without any concealment.
only...
The girl who temporarily lived in Lu Yuan's heart was not waiting for a negative answer, but Lu Yuan's embarrassed laughter.
One thing to say.
He did intend to use this little fox.
After all, in this situation where it is inconvenient for him to act and cannot act openly, it is perfect to have a subordinate who can control people's hearts to take over the dirty work and handle it.
In particular, as a brand-new black fox who has escaped the control of the Black Fox Empress, his cultivation has barely reached the level of the Great Demon King; such a subordinate with a clean background, strong strength, and the ability to execute his orders has been able to carry out his orders for so many years. Since then, Lu Yuan has only trained Yuan Mao.
The truth is precious and rare.
And such a precious existence should naturally be used on the edge of his sharp blade to expand territories, instead of thinking that you can fish in troubled waters by hugging his lap, and then wait comfortably for the credit to come.
Lu Yuan's thoughts passed away in a flash.
Even the black fox girl who lived in his heart had no time to react, let alone seize this fleeting thought and analyze it carefully.
but...
Where did this inexplicable chill come from?
The big dark purple eyes turned flexibly. Before the human-dragon hybrid could express his dirty thoughts, the girl standing in the darkness and void spoke in advance to resist:
"Let me tell you first, I do follow you, but I don't do dirty work specifically for you!"
The words were beautifully said, sounding reasonable, and she felt even more proud when she said them; but at the same time as these words of rejection came out of her mouth, she was actually prepared to be forcibly recruited.
She knows that people's hearts are sinister, and she knows very well that some humans will do anything to get what they want; sacrificing others is just the most basic one, and there are even some stupid humans who sacrifice their own people in order to get something.
therefore...
After receiving rejection from their subordinates, people with strong personalities usually forcefully order their subordinates to do something according to the ideas or even plans provided by them.
This is all inevitable.
And the consequences of successive rejections...
In fact, it is a dead end.
There is unequal status and unequal strength.
Subordinates are simply not qualified to maintain a non-bending attitude. Even if what they say is right, are there too many things in this world where right turns into wrong?
not much.
But not a lot.
Therefore, how to not disobey the outrageous orders above within the scope of one's ability, and then execute this outrageous order perfectly; this is the fundamental test of a subordinate's ability!
As for why no subordinates try to change the above-mentioned ideas and take this opportunity to achieve the result of changing this unreasonable order...
In this regard, the black fox girl can only say this:
Isn’t that strong man stubborn?
If the above thoughts can really be changed, essentially, this subordinate's ability is obviously powerful!
so...
Why does this subordinate continue to work for a useless boss?
This is a total contradiction!
Therefore, in essence, the psychological preparation made by the black fox girl in advance is not without any reason.
She even had the leisure to comfort herself: Even if she was forcibly recruited, even if she was assigned to do dirty work, as long as she could prove her worth, she would never be abandoned.
at most...
It just makes people angry...
Forehead...
It just makes the fox very angry!
But...
Contrary to the girl's expectations, this human who was suspected to be a human-dragon hybrid did not forcefully recruit her, nor did he even say a threatening metaphor. He just finished laughing, remained silent for a moment, and took out the pen and paper from his arms again. Sitting at the desk sketched.
This abnormal attitude actually made the black fox girl who was in Lu Yuan's heart feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had done something wrong.
What a hell!
As soon as the thought came to this point, the black fox girl couldn't help cursing her ignorance in her heart, and then she bit the bullet and followed her heart and tried:
"You're angry?"
As soon as these words came out, the black fox girl felt like giving herself a big mouth to wake up.
This is really a pot that should not be opened!
She finally got this matter over with. Logically speaking, she should be happy and grateful, but why did she suddenly feel like she had a trance and insist on bringing this matter up again, and in such an extremely clumsy way? Methods...
In fact, there was one sentence that the black fox girl said unknowingly.
Follow your heart!
How can a small derivative of the original connotation be able to resist?
Even if the black fox girl resists this kind of movement from her origin, she cannot resist this kind of thought all the time.
No reason.
Just because she is a derivative!
And the Black Fox Empress is also a derivative!
Therefore, from this point of view, the black fox girl who is actually freed from the control of the Black Fox Empress is actually an existence of the same status as the Black Fox Empress.
As for the clones of the Black Fox Empress, and those ordinary black foxes, what should they be divided into in the original mind...
in conclusion.
In fact, it is "derivatives of derivatives."
and “a counterfeit of a derivative of a derivative.”
certainly.
The origin actually has no obvious intention.
If Lu Yuan hadn't allowed this little fox to live in the hole in his heart, and be with a tightly protected soul, I'm afraid the origin wouldn't have sent out a thought to urge this lucky derivative to ask this weird question.
However, Lu Yuan did not avoid answering this strange question. Instead, he calmly put down the pen in his hand, picked up the slightly cold tea on the side, held it in his hand, and heated it with pure yang. , and then replied with a calm smile:
"of course not."
"But then again..."
"Why do you think I'll be angry?"
The words have fallen.
Lu Yuan raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, then continued to hold the teacup in his hand. He didn't pay attention to the sudden silence, nor did he continue to organize follow-up plans that required temporary changes. He just pretended to be patiently waiting for an answer.
to be honest.
This unhurried attitude indeed brought a silent sense of oppression to the black fox girl hiding in Lu Yuan's heart, and also made the black fox girl unconsciously feel anxious.
Yes.
As a creature of negative emotions, she actually developed a sense of anxiety!
How ridiculous!
Silently mocking herself, her deep purple eyes flashed with a different light and meaning, as if she had made up her mind. The black fox girl jumped up nimbly, and Lu Yuan immediately felt a slight sinking on her back.
Very interesting phenomenon.
An incorporeal existence could actually make him feel its weight!
Is it caused by that hybrid force?
Or...
Is it a characteristic brought about by the idea he is still speculating on?
Lu Yuan didn't know.
However, the gentle flow of air beside his ears still inevitably made him shudder. At the same time, his body subconsciously tensed up slightly for a moment, and then relaxed instantly, returning to the calm posture just now.
Lu Yuan's move was sudden.
Time is also very short.
Therefore, if you don't observe carefully, you won't see that Lu Yuan was nervous for a moment just now, or even took a counterattack posture.
pity.
For the black fox girl who was lying behind Lu Yuan at this moment, the instinctive reaction of the human-dragon hybrid boy beneath her could not be hidden from her eyes at all.
However, she did not choose to continue to pay attention to this point. Instead, she smiled mysteriously, and with a bit of teasing and amusement, she whispered softly into the young man's ear:
"How can the slave think that you, the master, are angry?"
"I'm just worried..."
"After all, the slave is just a lonely little fox. Everything must obey the master's favor, so the master is actually the god of the slave~"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes twitched, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly for a moment. The slight ripples on the surface of the tea seemed to symbolize the waves in his heart at this moment.
pity.
Reason finally outweighed impulse.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed the rising flames in his heart. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, the clarity in his eyes had regained the high ground and suppressed his body's instinctive reaction.
Be it human or dragon.
The six years he spent on the verge of life and death gave him enough reason to help him control his impulses at critical moments.
but...
Dragon blood boiling is indeed a troublesome matter.
Especially at his age...
It’s even more troublesome!
He calmly knocked on the tea cup in his hand, knocking off the ice cube that was instantly frozen inside. Lu Yuan put the ice cube in his mouth and chewed it, while reaching out his hand and holding the ice cube with a deep black color. The little fox who was playing with fire without realizing it was pulled from his back.
"There are some things that I will only say once."
"Don't play with fire in front of me!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's suddenly gloomy expression, although the black fox girl didn't know what changes had just happened that she didn't know about, she finally stopped teasing the young man and nodded absently, indicating that she heard this. rule.
As for whether you have any misconceptions...
Feel sorry.
This really doesn't exist.
As a derivative of negative emotions, how could she misinterpret these profound words after experiencing darker emotions?
I just wanted to tell her to stop teasing him.
only...
"Am I excited?"
She silently laughed at herself in her heart, and a hint of complexity flashed in the girl's deep purple eyes. This hint of complexity disappeared in an instant, but from beginning to end, it could not be denied that it had appeared!
but...
This kind of doubt is a miracle in itself!
after all...
In this garbage dump that has contained countless generations and even today continues to receive garbage, a white fox unexpectedly appeared!
have to say.
This is an impossible miracle!
And most miracles...
In fact, they are all created by humans.
Gently rubbing the little fox's little head, and patting the pair of fox ears on the other person's head, Lu Yuan calmed down his wrong thoughts and regained his calm tone.
"Feel sorry."
"What happened just now was partly caused by my own personal reasons."
"As for the idea you just glimpsed in my mind, if you don't want to implement it, then I will give you a definite answer at this moment: Then don't go!"
"after all..."
"I believe that any relationship becomes reliable through constant mutual compromise. I have enough patience to wait for the day when you are truly willing to do things for me!"
...
That was the first time Lu Xiaohu glimpsed the tip of Lu Yuan's iceberg. From that moment on, until the great changes in the world began, Lu Xiaohu would rather fall into the abyss than join like-minded companions to save those few The fundamental reason why stupid humans keep dragging us down!
