221. Undercurrent surging(1/2)
"so..."
"Is this what you think?"
"It seems that I really think highly of you..."
Listening to the dictation of Yuan Mao next to him and the clues he learned from the mouths of the beggars, Lu Yuan sat calmly on the chair. The old god held the tea cup in his hand comfortably, took a sip of tea, and sighed slowly.
Yuan Mao, who was standing beside her with her hands hanging down, naturally didn't understand what her master meant. After all, based on her knowledge, she was still a bit immature when it came to dealing with such intrigues.
certainly.
Not only is Yuan Mao a bit young, Dongfang Huaizhu, Dongfang Qinlan and even Dongfang Guyue also behave immaturely in this kind of intrigue.
Otherwise, Jin Renfeng would not be alive today!
Slowly placing the warm tea cup in his hand on the table, Lu Yuan stood up calmly, walked to the clean and tidy bed and sat on it. While sitting cross-legged, he opened his mouth and told Yuan Mao:
"There is no need to fight for temporary success."
"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes will be torn to pieces."
"Let the children under your command be in peace."
"Based on seeing the layout clearly..."
"What is needed is not to scare the monkeys by killing variables, nor to continue to test with a few chess pieces, but to be quietly prepared to face everything."
"certainly..."
"If anyone other than Master asks, just say I am in a bad mood."
"If you ask, use this excuse to excuse yourself. If you don't ask, just shut up."
"As for asking about other aspects...just don't know anything."
"The rest of the work..."
Lu Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
Before closing the door respectfully, Yuan Mao heard the Lord's precise and confident words as if announcing a fact...
"Let our enemies do it!"
"yes!"
Standing outside the door, Yuan Mao suppressed the thoughts and coldness in his eyes, and spoke firmly and quietly to the closed door in front of him.
The silence inside the door is like water.
There was a raging fire outside the door.
In fact, when the news reached Yuan Mao's ears and was informed to Lu Yuan by Yuan Mao, things were no longer as described!
Time will pass!
The result is naturally that the anger in the hearts of many disciples of Shenhuoshuo Manor is accumulating more and more; especially these disciples of Shenhuoshuo Manor, most of them still take the route of controlling fire...
To put it bluntly...
As long as there is a fuse now, these careless disciples of Shenhuo Manor can explode on the spot for anyone to see!
Including but not limited to Dongfang Guyue.
Although for Dongfang Guyue, this is not a big trouble.
But, let's be honest.
Looking at the current situation that he had deduced by himself, even Jin Renfeng could not help but feel a little bit of pressure.
But this kind of pressure just proves the success of his layout!
Only in this way can he...
Give this "little junior brother" the biggest surprise!
Squeezing the pile of invitations in his hand, Jin Renfeng seemed to have thought of something worth being happy about. The ever-present sinister look in Jin Renfeng's eyes faded a little, and he turned around and left this place that made him feel extremely noisy.
.
The Shenshan Mountain Villa is not an isolated place.
Even if it's not as good as the Wang Quan family's intricate network of connections in the Taoist Alliance, it's still better than the Xiao family that every family currently hates!
therefore...
When sending invitations, in order to show respect and to reflect the importance of this recruitment...
How could he, the eldest brother of Shenhuo Manor, not make a trip himself?!
but...
Think about it carefully...
"You are so partial!"
After all, when he first became a disciple, that old immortal had never thought of holding an apprenticeship banquet like this one to notify the entire Tao Alliance!
and...
Let him, the senior brother of Shenhuo Manor, personally send invitations to various forces!
Her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, trying to block the cold light in her eyes. Jin Renfeng stepped out of the gate of Shenhuo Manor, subconsciously glanced back at the plaque on the door, sneered secretly in her heart, and then stepped out without looking back.
On the way to send invitations.
He will prepare a big gift!
On that coming day!
...
It is different from Jin Renfeng who has great ambitions.
If Yuan Mao got the news from his friends who were born in the same place, then for Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan, there was no need to get the news through such a cumbersome way.
especially...
The news that Yuan Mao and others learned was incomplete due to his background, and could only be said to be pieced together from fragments.
Fortunately, these beggars are quite smart and know who to follow after seeing the dangers of people's hearts. They also know that before they see the dawn, they will always face the most unbearable darkness.
Fortunately, they have become accustomed to enduring the darkness, and are trying hard to prove their worth so that they can turn it into merit when dawn comes.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Yuan Mao will be completely kept in the dark!
As for Oriental Huaizhu...
What a joke!
In front of the eldest lady of Shenhuoshuo Manor, even if they don't want to say anything, how dare these ordinary disciples of Shenhuoshuo Manor still deceive her?
The current Shenhuo Mountain Villa is not the same as when Jin Renfeng could cover the sky with one hand!
Dongfang Guyue, the old owner of the village, is a good hand at killing demons. Even if he is not very skilled at killing people, he will not make mistakes like being soft-handed!
Therefore, after asking for a while, Dongfang Huaizhu observed silently in the dark for a while before returning to Dongfang Qinlan.
The breeze blows.
In the pavilion, Qin Lan took a bite of the candied haws in his hand very naturally, and silently watched his sister walking around anxiously not far away, her smart eyes moving slightly, obviously thinking about some evil idea.
"Sister, if you are really worried, how about I go for you and warn my junior brother?"
After hearing Dongfang Qinlan's outrageous words, Dongfang Huaizhu raised his forehead speechlessly, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said unceremoniously:
"I believe he should be able to handle this."
"but..."
"Whether it's based on age or seniority, you should call him senior brother, not junior brother. Although it's okay to call him that way now, you'd better change your name after some time."
That's right.
In name, this is indeed the case.
Since the current Dongfang Qinlan is still young, he has not yet been officially accepted as a disciple by Dongfang Guyue, and he has not even been given the title of "disciple" yet.
certainly.
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
Whether Dongfang Qinlan is a disciple or not is actually a matter that can be solved with just one sentence for Dongfang Guyue.
After all, in a certain sense, even if he does not have this title, can the father still hide his secrets from his daughter in terms of knowledge or practice?
Therefore, it is actually okay to say that we are masters and apprentices at present.
But the embarrassment lies in the status!
Especially when Lu Yuan, the "closed disciple", had been named, Dongfang Qinlan, who had not considered this relationship at first, was suddenly awakened by Dongfang Huaizhu's casual words.
Close disciples are different from all disciples!
After accepting a closed disciple, the master will not accept another apprentice.
It can also be said that the last disciple is the last apprentice of a master!
therefore...
With the rules hard to break, this is Dongfang Qinlan's last chance to call herself the "little senior sister"!
If you miss this opportunity...
From now on, whether I see the bad guy Jin Renfeng or the little junior brother Lu Yuan, I am afraid I will have to lower my head and call him senior!
At least that's true on the surface...
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qinlan no longer cared about eating the candied haws in his hand, subconsciously jumped from the stone bench to the ground, and ran out of the pavilion under Dongfang Huaizhu's extremely puzzled eyes.
Dongfang Huaizhu had no idea that his sister, who had a sudden whim, was on her way to beg her father to temporarily increase the number of apprentices. If she knew about it, she would be so angry that she would take Dongfang Qinlan back on the spot.
To be continued...
