Calligraphy and painting shop.
Zuo Lin, who was sitting at the counter, could not help but feel a twitch in his face when he sensed the scene where someone was laughing while peeing.
"This bastard is still like a bear." Zuo Lin complained, very speechless. He still remembered the first time he took the initiative to find trouble and beat this bastard. It was when this bastard was cheating with him, he deliberately showed his "disdain for the world". Looks proud.
No man can bear that naked contempt.
"What's wrong?" Zi Ying was very keen and noticed Zuo Lin's emotional changes, and seemed very speechless.
Zuo Lin's expression remained normal and he said, "That bastard is too naive and childish."
"Naive and childish?" Ziying and Tian Qi looked at each other. Ziying hesitated and said, "Are you saying there is something wrong with his plan?"
"I mean there's something wrong with him." Zuo Lin snorted.
"Is there something wrong with people?" Ziying and Tian Qi both looked confused.
"What's wrong?" Tian Qi asked softly.
Zuo Lin glanced at the paintings hanging around him and chuckled: "For example, these calligraphy and paintings are obviously ordinary, but he feels that every one of them is a masterpiece."
Ziying and Tian Qi both had a strange look in their eyes.
"There is indeed something wrong." Ziying nodded, and then mentioned the matter of Li Su forcing the third prince Xiao Yuancheng to "change his words and praise the painting."
Tian Qi added on the side, telling Zuo Lin everything about Xiao Yuancheng's visit to the calligraphy and painting shop.
"No wonder Xiao Yuancheng looked ugly when he left..." Zuo Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and said in deep thought, "Using treason to frame Xiao Yuancheng will indeed make him take advantage of him."
"That poem is so powerful." Ziying said softly.
Tian Qi held a pen and quickly wrote "Fu Ju" written by Li Su on the drawing paper.
“When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill all the flowers.
The incense formation soaring into the sky penetrates the Chaoge, and the city is filled with golden armor. "
Zuo Lin recited it once and said with a chuckle, "I'm not surprised that that bastard can come up with such a poem."
Over the years, he has seen too many classic poems from Li Su.
He was not sure whether these poems were all written by Li Su. He only knew that it was too luxurious to make money by selling these poems.
He didn't quite understand before, why those rotten literati looked down on the rich and thought money was something that reeked of copper even though they were so poor that they couldn't even lift the pot.
Ever since he helped Li Su sell poems and publish a collection of poems, he suddenly agreed with some of the ideas of rotten literati.
For those poems that can last forever, gold and silver are indeed things that smell like copper.
Using gold and silver to measure the value of poems is a waste of those poems.
Of course, he was just complaining like this in his heart. He still had to publish a collection of poems when he should, and he still had to collect the royalties that should be collected.
"Master Li is indeed very talented." Tian Qi praised lightly.
"To say someone has literary talent is usually to praise his elegance." Zuo Lin said with a smile, "But the only relationship between this bastard and elegance is probably his appearance."
Ziying's eyes flashed, thinking of the few nights of fun she had with Li Su, and she nodded secretly. The bastard pretended to be elegant and a gentleman in front of Her Highness the Princess; in front of her, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was dressed like a beast.
"I feel Mr. Li is quite good." Tian Qi muttered, her pretty face flushed.
Zuo Lin glanced at Tian Qi and said with a smile: "You may think so because you are not familiar with him yet. When you get to know him really well, you will understand that there is a kind of person who exudes the feeling of being beaten all the time. temperament."
"Is that so?" Tian Qi blinked and couldn't help but look at Ziying.
Ziying nodded seriously, "He really deserves a beating."
"That must be interesting, right?" Tian Qi thought silently, becoming more and more curious about what Li Su looked like in daily life...
"Did you get the news when you came this time?" Ziying looked at Zuo Lin.
Zuo Lin nodded slightly, "This situation is much more difficult than I imagined. Xiao Yuancheng is the direct prince and is quite favored.
Both he and Wu Jian came to Gusu, which showed Emperor Qian's determination. "
"Is Li Su's strategy useful?" Ziying asked.
Zuo Lin muttered: "If Xiao Yuancheng is smart enough, he will not take action directly, at least he will not force you into a desperate situation."
"Won't take action directly? Are you saying that he will kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Zi Ying is very smart.
"At least he won't let the bastard off easily." Zuo Lin said with a smile, "This bastard is so courageous that he dares to confront Xiao Yuancheng directly.
How can the imperial power tolerate provocation? "
Ziying and Tian Qi both felt their hearts sink.
"Actually, even if you don't come, Uncle Zuo, we are going to look for you." Tian Qi looked at Zuo Lin and said softly, "We want to know, how do you plan to arrange Mr. Li?"
"You should have guessed where he will go in the future." Zuo Lin said with a smile.
Tian Qi and Ziying paused, and the two women had indeed guessed it.
Golden Scale Gate.
A sect that Zuo Lin had entered and left.
"That will happen in the future." Ziying said, "Right now, he is implicated by us."
"Is it implicated? That's not necessarily possible." Zuo Lin snorted and said, "According to his words, this is called misfortune, where blessings depend, and blessing, where misfortune lies.
Opportunities and crises coexist. If he hadn't met you, who could help him temper his spirit? "
"You know?" Tian Qi was surprised.
Zuo Lin smiled and said: "Let Your Highness marry this boy temporarily. One of my ideas is to ask Your Highness to help him temper his spirit."
"As expected." Ziying said lightly.
Zuo Lin nodded, "That bastard deserves a beating, but he's actually quite likable sometimes."
Ziying curled her lips, noncommittal.
"Just by helping Mr. Li temper his spirit, his strength will not directly improve by leaps and bounds. He is still in the body tempering realm." Tian Qi said softly.
"It's enough, too much is not enough." Zuo Lin shook his head and said, "The gangster's foundation is enough. His problem lies in his state of mind."
"State of mind?" Tian Qi and Ziying were startled and looked at Zuo Lin.
"You should be able to see that he is very smart. Just like this time, he captured Xiao Yuancheng's seven inches with just a few words." Zuo Lin said.
"Master Li is indeed very resourceful." Tian Qi nodded and said.
Ziying said nothing, she had always known that Li Su was unusually cunning.
"A smart person will always think that he can get more easily." Zuo Lin said, "Such people usually neglect to keep their feet on the ground and imagine that they can reach the sky in one step.
When that bastard first started practicing with me, his idea was that he would be invincible in the world in five years if his ancestral aperture contained the spirit in three years. "
"Invincible for five years?" Tian Qi blinked.
Ziying pondered: "Are you trying to say that he has high ambitions but low power?"
"It is true that the eyes are high, but it is not true that the hands are low." Zuo Lin said softly, "People with high eyes but low hands will most likely ignore the foundation when practicing and only think about breaking through the realm as quickly as possible.
He is different. At the beginning of his training, he began to ask me where the limit of the body tempering realm is. He has a very fanatical pursuit of the foundation, but he always feels that he is extremely talented and can easily break the limit and temper the supreme foundation. "
"Master Li underestimated the difficulty of cultivation." Tian Qi thought thoughtfully.
Ziying complained: "He just wants to sit back and enjoy the results."
"He is very fanatical in his cultivation, even to the point of often self-abuse." Zuo Lin glanced at Ziying.
Ziying paused for a moment, thinking that in order to become stronger, Li Su ate poisonous blood dragon flesh and soaked in the dragon's blood all day and night... It is indeed inaccurate to describe such a cultivation attitude as 'just sit back and enjoy the results'.
"I spent ten years helping him temper his body, sharpen his will, and let him learn to be down-to-earth." Zuo Lin said softly, "I thought he had become a calm and peerless jade.
It wasn't until I took him to see Wu Jian that I truly realized that the gangster's mood had not changed from beginning to end.
He dared to challenge Wu Jian's daughter Wu Yao and son Wu Fengyun in front of Wu Jian at the same time, and dared to directly pinch Wu Yao's neck to demonstrate...
He still believes that he will be invincible in the future. "
"..."
In the back hall of the calligraphy and painting shop, Li Suqing leaned against the wall and listened quietly, disapproving in his heart, thinking that Lao Zuo was over-interpreting something.
Challenging Wu Yao and Wu Fengyun at the same time, it was unexpected that Wu Jian would go along with the situation without considering the issue of face.
As for pinching Wu Yao's neck, that was the key to defeating Wu Yao and Wu Fengyun. It was just normal fighting skills, where was the demonstration?
Not to mention, the confidence he dared to speak out in front of Wu Jian came from Zuo Lin.
In the past ten years, he has been tempering his body. He no longer has any contempt for cultivation, and he has already deeply realized that this is a world where "strength is the most important".
Li Su thinks that in the past ten years, he has been quite stable and has never taken the initiative to cause trouble. It was only after he became familiar with Lao Zuo that he would sometimes speak nonsense.
He felt that this was quite normal. Even the most introverted people often talked freely in front of true friends, and it was common for them to talk big words.
In layman's terms, this is called Mensao.
Almost everyone has a sultry side.
Tian Qi and Ziying looked at each other.
Both women knew about Li Su's defeat of Wu Yao, and Zi Ying personally felt the powerlessness of being pinched by Li Su's neck.
"Isn't it wrong to have the belief of invincibility?" Ziying couldn't help but ask, among the most talented people in history, who doesn't have the belief of invincibility?
As for Ziying himself, he has never been afraid of a fight when facing someone with a higher level.
"Young and carefree prince, who doesn't envy these green years?"
Zuo Lin smiled leisurely, then shook his head, and said softly, "There is nothing wrong with having the belief in invincibility. What is wrong is... he is just Li Su, not a nobleman from Tianhuang, nor a child of a famous family.
The road to the Golden Scale Gate was not easy, and there was no one behind him to rely on. "
