When Liu Changdie climbed out of the lake, it was already bright, and the feather coat on his body protected him so well that he didn't even touch the lake water at all.
He paced two steps on the shore in a daze, realizing that everything that had passed had disappeared, and he was dizzy for a while, not knowing how to act, so he just rode the wind and flew towards the mountains.
It wasn't until he reached Qingdu Mountain that Liu Changdie realized that the formation flag was still on him, so he had to pass through the formation and go to the main hall where Li Xijun was originally located.
Waiting for the armored soldier in front of the door to report, Liu Changdie stepped in, and at the top was a man with white hair and beard, dressed in black and gold armor, raising his eyebrows to look.
"Long Daoist friend!"
"Brother Xuanfeng!"
Liu Changdie hurriedly stepped forward to meet Li Xuanfeng, observing carefully left and right, and was speechless for a while.
Li Xuanfeng is the first Li family he has seen in this life, and he has only heard of his name [Jin Geng Gang Xian] in his previous life, but in this life, he met when he was a teenager and had a friendship.
Li Xuanfeng was also looking at him, seeing that he was in a state of despair, his eyes were empty, and he was obviously quite profound in his foundation-building momentum.
The two stood in the hall, one was sharp, passionate and generous, with a golden bow in his hand, and dared to shoot gold, but now his eyebrows and eyes were cold, his beard and hair were white, and he was driven by others to protect the family.
The other was high-spirited and famous back then, and made friends with heroes all over the world, but now he is empty-handed, alone, looking at each other, self-explanatory.
They hugged each other and didn't ask each other's suffering, Li Xuanfeng just thanked him:
"This magic circle is thanks to the Taoist friends, Xuan Feng is grateful for my family."
He fumbled out the jade box from the storage bag, but Liu Changdie lost interest, handed over the array flag, and said softly:
"If Xuan Feng really wants to thank me... Hu Keqing in the town has a concubine named Liu, who is my distant cousin, and she takes care of me for a while or two, which can be regarded as thanking me."
Li Xuanfeng frowned, while Liu Changdie held down his Shengyang Mansion, his eyes were full of drowsiness, and he said softly:
"Brother Xuanfeng can also see that my inner demons are disturbing me now, and I really can't get along, so I am only in a hurry to find spiritual objects and secret methods to suppress them. offend..."
Seeing his face covered in cold sweat, he had to send him out, watching him take out the shuttle and quickly disappear into the sky.
Among the many juniors, Li Xuanfeng valued Li Xijun the most, his expression was quite soft, and he asked first:
"What's the matter with Yuexiang?"
Li Xijun explained the cause and effect and speculation, Li Xuanfeng calmed down a little, and said softly:
"Although it is unavoidable, can my family be humiliated by him for no reason? Just wait for me to go to Yuan's house, Yuan Huyuan wants to divide, so let him understand better."
Li Xijun nodded, although he was also on fire about his sister's affairs in his heart, he still persuaded softly:
"Qingchi strictly prohibits cross-border connections, the Yuan family is a natural geopolitical ally, if you lose your life, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
Li Xuanfeng only waved his hand to answer, with a rare smile on his face:
"Don't mention this, I have my own arrangements, and take me to meet that good junior first to see what he looks like now."
……
Chen Mansion.
Chen Mufeng returned to the mansion on the wind, a group of wives and concubines came up to greet him, he Chen Mufeng was the most favored in the Chen family, his status in the clan was not low, and there were naturally many wives and concubines.
He hurriedly entered the courtyard, until he reached the deepest part of the courtyard, and saw a woman sitting in it, her appearance was not outstanding, but Chen Mufeng was smiling, greeted her diligently, and said in a low voice:
"Madam......"
This woman is Mrs. Li, Li Xiyu's sister, sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, standing next to a young man, twelve or thirteen years old, with long and narrow eyebrows, very slow eyebrows, standing with his hands on his back.
Mrs. Li replied and said softly:
"My husband came back by chance, Yang'er has broken through the fourth layer of fetal breath and is looking for you."
Chen Mufeng was surprised and happy, and replied:
"What!"
He swept his spiritual consciousness, and sure enough, he saw that the eldest son Chen Yuan on the side had broken through the fourth layer of fetal breath, Chen Mufeng only said in shock:
"This cultivation speed is not as fast as Li Ximing back then, but he can catch up with the person in charge of Qingdu Mountain!"
Mrs. Li nodded with a smile, while Chen Yuan raised her eyebrows to look at her father and said in a low voice:
"The fetal breath technique is simple, otherwise it can be faster."
His eyes inherited the gray and black of his mother, and his eyebrows were slowly elongated from his uncle's lineage, which was really more like the Li family than the Chen family, especially when his eyes narrowed, it almost made Chen Mufeng's heart jump.
Because of the fear of these eyes, Chen Mufeng actually didn't get very close to this child, and sometimes he saw his unintentional movements and expressions, which were very similar to the suspicious and cunning of the Li family.
Compared to being incompetent, Chen Mufeng still likes Chen Yuan.
Mrs. Li naturally loved this child very much, her eyes were soft, and she said softly:
"I asked you this time because I wanted Yuan'er to serve the prince."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan never looked up, but his narrow eyes squinted quickly and secretly, and looked over his father's face, his gray-black pupils shrank slightly, and the dark black dots stared straight at him.
Chen Mufeng replied "ah", and when he looked at Chen Yuan, he only saw the young man's obedient expression, and replied:
"Naturally, it's a good thing, I'm just afraid of Chengliao's ......"
"I've already told him."
Mrs. Li lowered her eyebrows and asked Chen Yuan to retreat first, then looked solemn and said anxiously:
"Can you see the ducks? He is not the temperament of the things in the pool! I rarely take him to see my brother, it's his temperament... Resemble... I don't know who I am, I am becoming cunning and ambitious day by day, if I can't win Zhu Li's trust early, I'm afraid it won't end well!"
"What?!"
Chen Mufeng raised his head in disbelief, he also had youthful ambitions, but he only felt that his wife was exaggerating and said in a low voice:
"Why is Madam like this? Teenage children are somewhat ambitious, just wait for time to pass..."
"You don't believe me?"
Chen Mufeng suddenly stopped talking, and had to nod and said:
"Then I'll send it over to see Chengliao."
Mrs. Li grabbed him and instructed:
"I heard that the prince is also a fuel-efficient lamp, if you go there, you must take Yang'er to meet in person, just in case."
He only felt that his wife was thinking too carefully, nodded casually, hurriedly left the yard, took Chen Yuan all the way to the wind, all the way to the tall side hall, and waited for half an hour, Li Chengliao came back.
The two of them shuttled through the corridor between the buildings, but Chen Yuan at this end was here for the first time, looking at the golden eaves and the white jade-colored steps on the platform, his eyes gradually straightened, and his heart throbbed.
Li Chengliao was returning from the earth boundary with people, his armor rubbed, making a sonorous metal collision sound, Chen Yuan and his father knelt under the steps, the young man silently stared at the eighteenth stone steps at the top of the hall, his eyes scanned vaguely, and his heart trembled:
"It's really majestic."
Thoughts flashed gently in his mind, looking at the wolf cloak man above, Li Chengliao didn't have much coercion, but standing there without speaking was also majestic.
An impulse rose in Chen Yuan's heart:
"It's okay... should be above ten thousand people, and use cultivation to overwhelm the heroes... Playing with the world with planning... What's the point of stopping at practicing in books!"
Li Chengliao smiled and turned around to answer Xu Gongming:
"The weather is a little slower, and there is a harvest, but I am relieved."
He was sitting on the main seat, looking at Chen Mufeng and Chen Yuan on the side, and said softly:
"This is Yang'er, I heard that you have broken through the fourth layer of fetal breath, what a rare genius!"
The eighteen steps in the hall are not decorations, they can just block the spiritual consciousness of normal qi training monks, but not only that, Chen Yuan also knelt far away, already ruining the possibility of Li Chengliao using spiritual consciousness to snoop.
"I just left the customs, and he already knew!"
Li Chengliao went down with a smile, slowly paced in front of him, took his hand, saw Chen Yuan raise his head, nodded slightly, turned around and smiled at Xu Gongming and the others:
"At first glance, it looks like my child, and his eyebrows and eyes are the same!"
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were happy and arrogant.
Everyone laughed and congratulated the venue, but Li Chengliao looked at it carefully, although he was smiling on his face, a haze had risen in his heart.
"This look... This look... Good! Okay!'
In addition to looking at his decent eyes and looking left and right, Li Chengliao read a familiar taste from his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth.
This rebellious and ambitious taste seemed to have accidentally pierced a thorn in his hand, making him grit his teeth and inhale, recalling the boy who was raging in the air with ash fire, so much so that Li Chengliao's smile was a little deformed.
"It's an ambitious seed."
Li Chengliao has always been very confident in his feelings, just like he recognized Xu Xiao at a glance at the time, Chen Yuan also had a nascent ambition, but a little less arrogant, a little more cunning of the Li family, and maybe a little vicious.
"But the talent is still so good! If you put it outside, it can stir up the storm... The Chen family is really a good genius!'
Li Chengliao preliminarily judged the child's temperament, looked at Chen Mufeng with a smile, and asked:
"Why, are you planning to send him to accompany the prince? He has such a good talent and doesn't concentrate on cultivating... Isn't it a waste?"
Seeing that he raised his head slightly for a moment, his eyelids shrank slightly, Li Chengliao's heart moved slightly, and he listened to Chen Mufeng say polite words beside him:
"Where is the need for fetal breath to practice every day! Each time the spiritual energy is extracted and refined, it only takes a few hours, and the rest of the time is twice the result with half the effort, so it is better to learn from the deceased son..."
"Yang'er is still three years older, so let Zhou Wei learn more!"
Li Chengliao said politely, but he had already agreed, and said intentionally:
"Yuan'er, you go down the surrounding corridor, someone will take you to the place where you died, I have already told him that I will send a playmate over."
Chen Mufeng was slightly stunned when he heard that he meant letting the two children meet alone, but Li Chengliao smiled and said:
"I still have something to ask Qianhu!"
Chen Mufeng heard this, and his already somewhat wavering steps immediately stopped again, thinking about his wife's words in his heart, he could only sigh slightly, looking at the child going down, Li Chengliao said:
"I remember that the Chen family has always been at odds with the Xu family for several generations, but has they ever been married?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Mufeng replied, Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Li Chengliao didn't want him to listen, so he hurriedly followed the guards, through the tortuous corridor, and all the way to the outside of the courtyard.
Looking at the white ground, there were two golden doors hidden at the door, and he was still a little disdainful in his heart.
He Chen Yuan has been the first talent since he was a child, playing with his friends of the same age in the palm of his hand, and he can make people spin around in two or three sentences, how can he be afraid of a child? I only said in my heart:
"What about the prince? The talent may not be very high, I heard that it has only been practiced for two years, and at most it can cultivate the second layer of fetal breath Chengming Wheel, but it is just a matter of holding a hand."
"What's more, how much thought is trapped in this small courtyard every day? I only need a little trick to make him obedient."
Chen Yuan has been deceitful since he was a child, how could he look down on a child who is three or four years younger than himself, he only felt that most of the princes couldn't even recognize the words, and secretly sneered.
He stepped into the courtyard, but a fragrance suddenly appeared at the tip of his nose, intoxicated and charming, Chen Yuan frowned, but he was too young to recognize this smell, and said to himself:
"I don't know what kind of incense it is, it tastes good, you can take some back."
There was an old ape standing in the inner courtyard, covered in white fur, with drooping eyes, Chen Yuan was smart, how could he underestimate it, and secretly said:
"Nine out of ten is a spirit beast that protects this prince closely, and I don't know what kind of cultivation it is."
Guessing that it was a spirit beast that practiced qi nine times out of ten, he bowed before entering, thinking that he had won a good impression without realizing it, and he was proud.
Chen Yuan pushed open the door, but it was a boy dressed in golden and white clothes kneeling in the courtyard, looking only eight or nine years old, with the back of his head facing him.
Chen Yuan didn't have time to ask casually, but he saw the prince suddenly turn around and look around, staring at him with two deep dark golden eyes, like amber.
These were a pair of calm eyes, full of contemptuous scrutiny, and he noticed that the erect ears and twisted waists of the situation actually had a vigorous taste, showing a soft and fierce tiger and leopard posture.
Chen Yuan was so frightened that he took a step back, and soon became angry, anger and shame quickly hid in his heart, and said in a dark voice:
"I have seen the prince."
Li Zhouwei looked at him for two breaths, as if because his tone and golden eyes were even more terrifying and gloomy, without saying a word, Chen Yuan quickly sensed his expression with the intuition of the same kind of people, and a sense of enlightenment rose in his heart.
"This is a pair of inhuman eyes, as long as a mediocre person does not kneel in front of him and decides not to look at the eyes that will not look at him again, these eyes may be more powerful against women than men."
A sneer and contemptuous anger rose in his heart, and he took a step forward with his body a head taller than him, and replied pretending to be humble:
"I have seen the prince."
