"Hey!" Lin Chaofeng sat on the stone bench in front of the corridor, looking at the figures of Liu Qiqi and Zheng Yueting wielding swords in the yard, with a sad look on his face and a long sigh.
"Brother Lin is sighing alone. Is there something on his mind?" Zhong Wen's voice came to his ears.
"Brother Zhong Wen." Lin Chaofeng turned around and saw Zhong Wen holding a knife in his right hand and holding a live chicken in his left hand. The chicken seemed to be aware of its fate and was struggling desperately, making a heroic cry from its mouth.
"Isn't it pleasant to stay here?" Zhong Wen grinned, raised the knife and stopped the bird's breathing.
"Sometimes I really envy you." Lin Chaofeng said with a wry smile, "You can live a carefree and happy life in this beautiful place, unlike a young man like me who often has no control over what he does."
"Brother Lin is joking. As a minister, you have enough food and clothing even when you are in need. I don't know how many people in the world have envied you." Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "There is no need to work as hard as me."
"Brother Zhong Wen is still young and hangs around the fairy mountains all day long. He doesn't understand the troubles of ordinary people like us." Lin Chaofeng said with some helplessness in his tone.
"Everyone has troubles that are unknown to others, and life is still going on as usual." Zhong Wen laughed and said, "As long as the thoughts are clear, there is no fairyland anywhere."
Lin Chaofeng's heart was shaken, and he thought about Zhong Wen's words carefully and remained silent for a long time.
When Zhong Wen saw that he was silent, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he heard Lin Chaofeng calling him from behind: "Brother Zhong Wen, I have a problem on my mind. I wonder if I can ask you to help me with my advice?"
"Brother Lin, please speak." Zhong Wen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around, and his face regained its serious expression.
"If the decision is made by an elder in the family, it will hurt another relative." Lin Chaofeng sorted out his sentences, "Should I follow filial piety, or should I go against the wishes of the elder in the family for the sake of that relative?"
Zhong Wen stared at Lin Chaofeng's eyes for a long time and said word by word: "Brother Lin, you already have the answer in your mind, so why bother asking me?"
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhong Wen, you are so wise at such a young age." Lin Chaofeng was a little surprised when he was told the central issue, "I do have a judgment in my heart, but it's a pity that people speak lightly and can't help themselves..."
"Let me make a guess. The relative mentioned by Brother Lin is probably the palace master's sister." Zhong Wen interrupted him.
Lin Chaofeng was shocked and then lowered his head: "Yes, dad wants to betroth my eldest sister to Xiao Wenjian."
"Brother Lin, there is no need to worry." Zhong Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if Emperor Daqian personally issued the decree, there is no way that the palace master's sister would marry Xiao Wenjian."
"Why is this?" Lin Chaofeng raised his head and asked doubtfully, "You must know that it is difficult to disobey your parents' orders. If dad insists on having his own way, I am afraid that my eldest sister will also find it difficult to resist."
"Because you have no chance to convey Shangshu Lin's intention to the palace master sister." Zhong Wen said with a smile, "No one in Piaohua Palace will allow you to do this."
"It can't be that simple." Lin Chaofeng shook his head and expressed disapproval, "Although dad sent me to invite my sister on the surface, the real person in charge is Uncle Fu. He is a top expert at the peak of Tianlun. You may not I can stop him."
"I said no, I just can't. Brother Lin, there's no need to doubt it." Zhong Wen said with strong confidence in his tone, "Just stay here for two days, and we'll see what happens when the time comes."
Lin Chaofeng had a doubtful look on his face.
"Let me analyze it for you. The palace master sister is extremely talented. She is already a master of the heavenly wheel at a young age. She is worthy of being a spiritual master." Zhong Wen sat down next to Lin Chaofeng and said eloquently, "Not to mention the strength of the disciples of Piaohua Palace. You’ve seen it too, in two years’ time, there will be nothing like those on the Great Heroes List.”
Lin Chaofeng nodded slowly to express his approval.
"The Lin family refuses to win over such a sect with great potential, but actually sends top geniuses with blood ties to the Xiao family." Zhong Wen continued, "In this way, not only will we lose a future spiritual leader, It also offends a bunch of geniuses in the entire Piaohua Palace, even fools know how to settle this account."
"Brother Zhong Wen, what you said makes sense, but if dad doesn't agree to this marriage, he will offend the Xiao family..." Lin Chaofeng was entangled again.
"If you can't even protect your own daughter, it's better not to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Zhong Wen said with a sneer.
Lin Chaofeng's expression changed, and he was about to retort when he saw Zhong Wen suddenly smiled, put his hand on his shoulder and said: "Brother Lin, your ability is limited. If the sky falls, you will have to be supported by a tall man. You have to struggle with this skill. It’s better to take advantage of the abundant spiritual power here and rush to the Earth Chakra realm.”
Lin Chaofeng's eyes lit up, and he realized that Zhong Wen's words were reasonable. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and started to run the technique.
…
It was almost midnight, and there was no sound in the yard. The moonlight tonight was hazy and the light was dim. Only the occasional chirping of insects from outside the wall indicated the existence of life.
A vigorous figure flashed past the courtyard, turning into a shadow in the air, but did not make the slightest sound.
This figure explored around the Piaohua Palace and finally targeted a house.
This person landed lightly on the roof, and when he was about to investigate further, he saw a slim figure looming in the dim light in front of him.
"Fu Lao is still not resting at this late hour. Why don't you take a walk on the roof?" The woman's voice was soft and melodious.
"As I get older, I don't need much sleep, which makes Miss Shangguan laugh." There was a hint of vicissitudes in Fu Bo's voice.
"Mr. Fu is an old man from the Lin family. He can move around as he pleases in this Piaohua Palace. However, there is a female guest living in the room below. Please don't disturb the guest's rest." The moon came out from behind the clouds, The light shone brightly, revealing Shangguan Jun Yifeng's graceful posture.
"I'm afraid that the person in the room is my young lady." Uncle Fu chuckled, "The so-called 'retreat' is just an excuse. When I saw Miss Nangong during the day, I guessed that the news had been received in Piaohua Palace. I deliberately avoided seeing the young lady.”
"Fu Lao is overthinking. Miss Nangong was the first to get started, and she is the eldest disciple of Palace Master Lin. Why don't you practice hard here?" Shangguan Junyi said softly, "Palace Master Lin is indeed in seclusion. The person in the middle is a female guest from the imperial capital."
"I haven't seen Miss for many years, and I miss her so much that I have to meet her no matter what. I really can't wait for her to come out of isolation." Uncle Fu still had a kind expression, but his eyes were shining with a sharp light, "In the room. Can’t you tell if someone is a young lady just by looking at her?”
He used the power of the Heavenly Wheel to sense the entire Piaohua Palace, and found that only the aura of the person in this room had not been seen before, and concluded that the person in the room was Lin Zhiyun who had not appeared during the day.
"Old Fu, you are a virtuous elder. You must know that men and women are not intimate with each other. How can a girl's house allow you to come into the house to check? Please don't embarrass Jun Yi." Shangguan Junyi's voice was still so gentle, but there was something in his tone. With a hint of complaint.
"I am very old and will soon be buried. What's the matter?" Uncle Fu gave a long laugh, stood up, and jumped towards the door of the house.
"Hey, it's a matter of women's reputation. Please forgive Junyi for offending me." Shangguan Junyi sighed resentfully, holding her bamboo-like jade fingers apart.
A huge whirlpool of spiritual power appeared out of thin air in front of Fu Bo.
The vortex was dark red, and an unparalleled repulsive force came from it, fiercely pushing Fu Bo away from the main door of the room.
"What a great trick!" Uncle Fu praised, clasped his hands together, and a large spiritual bell appeared in front of him.
"Dang~dang~"
Bells rang, and invisible spiritual sound waves shot out quickly, hitting the spiritual vortex in front of them.
The collision of two powerful spiritual powers caused bursts of loud noises. Under the impact of invisible sound waves, the spiritual vortex remained motionless.
What a powerful spiritual skill!
Uncle Fu's face changed, and his expression became a little more solemn. He closed his hands again with a "snap", and with a loud "clang" sound, the originally scattered spiritual power sound waves actually converged into one place and turned into a bright flash. The light waves hit the spiritual vortex hard.
This time, the color of the spiritual vortex finally dimmed a bit. Uncle Fu felt happy and was about to work harder when he saw Shangguan Junyi smile slightly and point his jade fingers together.
Two huge spiritual vortexes, one red and one black, appeared around the big clock. The red vortex released a repulsive force, while the black vortex released a traction force. Between the pull and the suction, the spiritual power bell had no resistance. , was torn to pieces in an instant and dissipated into nothingness.
Uncle Fu felt a tightness in his chest, and his face changed drastically, and it no longer looked as peaceful as before.
He swayed his feet and displayed a clever movement technique. He twisted left and right to avoid two whirlpools of spiritual power. He raised his arms and countless circular halos flew out behind them, covering the sky and the earth, like a circle. Usually shoot at Shangguan Junyi on the roof.
Shangguan Junyi tapped her toes, her graceful figure was like a fairy in the clouds, she effortlessly dodged the rings in the sky, landed lightly in front of Fu Bo, blocking his way to the door, and threw out her right hand again A red vortex forced Fu Bo to take a few steps back.
"Drink!" Uncle Fu's eyes sparkled, he raised his right palm high, and transformed into a spiritual bird. The big bird was bathed in red flames and flew towards Shangguan Junyi.
In just a short moment, he had already performed several different types of spiritual skills.
Seeing the menacing firebird, the beauty gently pushed her right palm forward, and a small black vortex appeared in her palm. As soon as the spiritual bird touched the vortex, it didn't even have time to scream, and was instantly pulled in. Leave a star point remnant.
I'm really old!
He tried his best, but failed to make even half a step forward. Looking at Shangguan Junyi who was carefree and calm in front of him, Fu Bo gasped and felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Fu Lao, it's already dark, please go back to your room and rest." Shangguan Junyi advised gently, as if nothing had happened before.
"Sorry for bothering you." Uncle Fu sighed, turned around and walked towards his room as if resigned to his fate.
Just when Shangguan Junyi was slightly relaxed, Fu Bo, who had already turned around, suddenly kicked off his legs, and his whole body flew towards the room behind her like an arrow from a string.
Shangguan Junyi had rich combat experience and reacted in an instant, swinging a palm and hitting Fu Lao on the back as he flew in front of him.
However, the old man seemed determined to enter the house. He did not dodge Shangguan Junyi's attack and resisted with his body.
Seeing that this palm was going to kill the old man, Shangguan Junyi remembered his identity, hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew most of his palm power.
"puff!"
Fu Lao spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, fought hard to receive a palm, and finally managed to break into the door.
