Backyard gazebo.
Lu Shaoze frowned and carefully read the letter from his uncle.
After a long time, he said to himself:
"March 3, martial arts conference?"
According to what my uncle said in his letter, prominent people from the eighteen states of Dakang will gather in Huangzhou on March 3 to hold a martial arts conference to discuss the position of leader!
The reason why I wrote to him was that he, Lu, held the position of commander of the White Tiger Guard and had the power to control the world's martial arts.
Secondly, it’s because of the venue of the conference!
My uncle's name is Bai Wuji, and he is the owner of Baixia Villa in Huangzhou.
Baixia Villa has been doing business for generations, and it can be regarded as half of the world's power.
Later, due to the Lu family, he withdrew from the world.
Who would have thought that Huangzhou would be chosen as the venue for this martial arts conference?
The court world is inherently incompatible with water and fire.
The Baixia Villa is in a special situation. Bai Wuji is afraid of causing trouble, so he wants to invite his nephew to help him!
That was the content of the secret message, but Lu Shaoze was a little confused.
Even if his uncle didn't write a letter, he, the commander of the White Tiger Guard, would still have to leave after learning the news.
It’s your duty!
"You dare to convene a martial arts conference without reporting it to the court in advance? Haha~"
"Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, I want to see what you are going to do!"
“But there’s still more than a month until March 3rd, so there’s no rush.”
Nowadays, there are many things going on, and he needs to calm down and think about it carefully.
"Huh! Lao Fang should speed up too!"
After pondering to himself for a moment, Lu Shaoze immediately stood up, said hello to his mother, and slipped out of the Duke's Mansion.
That guy Lao Fang, he has to go take a look! !
…
Xufu Villa.
Wen Shuyu sat cross-legged on the fragrant couch, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and the steam was generated by himself.
The heat curled up from the top of his head, and even that beautiful face was distorted a lot.
Now that the remaining sword energy in his belly has dissipated, and the gentle true energy is pouring out, impacting his limbs and bones, he has reached a critical moment.
Get through it and your skills will improve greatly.
If you can't survive it, your cultivation will be completely useless and you will die!
Time passed. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Dong Dong…
"Girl, madam, please go to the front hall to discuss matters."
"Pfft~"
The movement of the technique was blocked, Wen Shuyu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black blood.
However, all the gentle energy in his body returned to his Dantian, causing his cultivation level to rise all the way.
Seventh grade.
…
Ninth grade.
Innate early stage.
The middle stage of innateness!
In just a few breaths, his cultivation progressed rapidly, and he did not stop until the middle stage of Xiantian Breakthrough.
"My mother has peak innate zhenqi, but she can only reach the middle stage of innate innate energy, alas!"
Although the ending was not happy and he suffered some internal injuries, it was still a blessing in disguise.
Thinking of this, Wen Shuyu immediately raised his fingers to connect the dots on his body, and started to seal his internal energy.
After watching his cultivation fall to the sixth level again, he stood up and responded:
"Wait a moment."
Then he cleaned up his blood stains and pushed out the door.
There was a maid waiting outside the door for a long time.
The maid's name was Liu'er. Mrs. Xu had assigned her to her when she returned home in the morning, and she was the only one assigned to her!
She is still a low-level maid who does laundry in Xu Mansion!
"Girl, hurry up. If you go late, I'm afraid you will be blamed."
"Um."
Wen Shuyu nodded and his pace quickened a lot.
My aunt doesn't like her because she is afraid that her identity will bring trouble to the Xu family.
Wen Shuyu can understand.
After all, I am living under someone else's roof, and I am not here to be my aunt?
It’s always good to be tolerant in everything!
A moment later, the front hall of Xu Mansion.
When Wen Shuyu arrived, the entire front hall was empty except for Mrs. Xu sitting at the head table.
Seeing this, Wen Shuyu's expression changed instantly.
The cold expression was gone, replaced by a look of grievance.
"Xiaoyu pays homage to my aunt. I hope my aunt is safe."
"Come in." Mrs. Xu said casually with a straight face.
It's true that she doesn't like this niece, but she's not a fool either.
His Majesty has decreed that this girl will soon be married into the Duke of Dingguo's palace and become the wife of the prince.
No matter how unhappy she is, she still has to give her the face she deserves.
Anyway, there are only a few days left, so what if we let her live under our noses?
snort!
Therefore, after Wen Shuyu entered the door, Mrs. Xu went straight to the point:
"Shuyu, I called you here today. There are a few things I want to tell you. Please remember to keep them in mind."
"My aunt ordered me to remember the words in the book carefully."
"Well, that's right. Don't blame your aunt for speaking harshly. My aunt is doing everything for your own good."
Wen Shuyu nodded and just stayed in place, waiting for the next words.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu changed the subject and said:
"Before, whether you were favored by thousands of people in Fenghua, or whether you were unruly and willful, I don't care, I can't control you."
"But in the near future, you will marry into the Dingguo Palace as the daughter-in-law of my Xu family. My aunt hopes that you can put aside all the past and be your eldest son's wife with peace of mind!"
"You should also remember to be careful in your words and deeds in the Duke's palace, keep in mind the three obediences and four virtues that a woman should have, and take good care of her husband and raise her children. Don't disgrace the family tradition of my Xu family!"
"Understand?"
Understand?
How could Wen Shuyu not understand what his aunt meant?
That's nice to say, it's for your own good!
But it's just that he is afraid that he will do something in the Duke's Mansion and implicate his uncle!
Although he was angry in his heart, he responded calmly on the outside:
"My aunt's teachings should be kept in mind."
"That's good. As for the dowry and other matters, my aunt will arrange it for you and won't treat you badly. Come on."
"Thank you, aunt. Xiaoyu will take my leave."
After saying that, he turned around, but that pretty face turned cold!
Emperor Dakang issued a decree to grant the marriage, obviously with the intention of seeking glory in his own name.
But she doesn't care!
As long as she can kill Liao Changqing, she will pay any price!
But if you can kill your enemies with your own hands, that would be great.
"Huh, the time when the war between the two countries will start is uncertain, and Dakang is just an external force after all! Before that, I should do something!"
At first, Wen Shuyu didn't think about using Lu Shaoze, but after weighing the pros and cons, she gave up the plan.
Lu Shaoze was very scheming and seemed to have everything in mind, but she was a little unpredictable.
But right now, she needs a place to live, and more importantly, an identity!
For this reason, she would not hesitate to serve as a tiger!
Again, she would give up everything for revenge.
Including herself! !
At this time, Liu'er, who was waiting outside the door, noticed that Wen Shuyu's expression was wrong, and quickly asked worriedly:
"Girl, why do you look so bad? Are you sick?"
"Huh? It's nothing, just thinking about something."
When Wen Shuyu heard this, he immediately calmed down and showed a gentle smile.
Now I can no longer trouble my uncle, and the marriage can be regarded as a transaction. I have to rely on myself for everything!
"Liu'er, do you know which kind of business is the most profitable?"
"Making money? This servant only knows... I only know that the monthly salary of laundry in the mansion is thirty cents."
"All right."
Wen Shuyu frowned and smiled bitterly, Liu'er was also a poor child, how could she understand that?
It seems that if I have time, I have to visit Shengkang City! !
