Chapter 6
"Something happened." Feng Jue said concisely as he carried 03 towards the main hall. On the way, he inadvertently lowered his eyes, was stunned for a moment, held 03 in front of him, and looked at it for a moment.
Feng Jue: "What do you look like?"
03 Lift the matchstick and press it on the circle, explaining: "Eyes."
He held up the matchstick, "Arm."
Lifting the matchstick, "Legs."
It’s complete, it’s just like a miniature human!
Phoenix Technique: "..."
Her lips moved, and she suddenly raised her hand, picked a peach blossom from the hairpin in her hair and placed it on top of 03's head.
The pink peach blossoms floated through 03's body and landed in Feng Jue's palm.
03 Circle: Look down and see the flower between the two matchsticks.
Feng Jue fell silent again.
She put down her hand, and peach blossoms fell on the green jade bricks.
"Forget that you have no physical body." Feng Jue said.
Then 03 was carried by her all the way here in a proper manner, and it turned out that he flew here by himself.
Pretty cooperative.
After all, it is the host's best partner and the best employee in the world!
03 straightened his chest, floated to the position of Feng Jue's shoulder and followed her forward. Before entering the hall, Feng Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you going in like this?"
Won’t be discovered by others?
"Only the host can see me." 03 reassured Feng Jue.
Feng Jue was not reassured by her answer, but felt that this thing was even stranger. However, the most important thing now was not to study the strangeness of 03, but there were other things.
Feng Jue sat down in the palace master's seat.
The same position, the same silent palace servants standing on either side, like puppets, the only difference was that there were only two guests left from last time, both in a state of disarray. One was the middle-aged man leading the Lianshan group of visitors, and the other was the woman accompanying Xue Bufan.
The woman's clothes were stained with blood, and she knelt on the ground with tears on her face. She begged Feng Jue, "Please, Palace Master, save Young Master Bufan!"
Feng Jue glanced at the woman, then his gaze fell on the middle-aged man sighing beside him, and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
It turned out that after the Lianshan Sect left Lanyang Palace, they wanted to return to the sect without stopping. However, they passed by Hongjiao Mountain on the way. They heard from the monks who escaped from the mountains that a secret treasure had appeared in Hongjiao Mountain. Several young and energetic monks among them immediately wanted to go into the mountain to look for the treasure.
Feng Jue raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Red Dragon Mountain is only a day's journey from Lanyang City. If there are treasures there, why have the people in the city never heard of it?"
The middle-aged man sighed heavily, his eyebrows almost wrinkled together.
He bowed and said, "Just as the Palace Master said, the secret treasure is fake, but the bandits are real. The cultivator who claimed that the secret treasure appeared in the world was a trick of these bandits. They tricked us into the mountains and wanted to kill us and rob us!"
"I protected Young Master Bufan all the way to the cliff. During the duel, he was unfortunately knocked off the cliff by thieves. We don't know whether he's alive or dead!" the kneeling woman said anxiously. "There seems to be a formation under the cliff, and I can't detect it with my cultivation level. I beg the Palace Master to come forward and save my young master's life! Even if it's a corpse, a corpse..."
She burst into tears and couldn't continue talking.
"Alas!" The middle-aged man sighed again, with an attitude as if God was going to kill him, waiting for Feng Jue to speak.
However, they waited for a long time, and the person sitting there not only did not speak, but instead tilted his head and looked at her - shoulder?
Feng Jue stared at 03 with a somewhat heavy look in his eyes.
The two black circles on the silver-white ball looked so innocent that they turned into two question marks to express their doubts to Feng Jue.
What's the matter?
Falling off a cliff, there seemed to be a formation. Could it be that there really was an old man hiding a ring in the cliff?
Feng Jue couldn't help but clench his fingers into fists, took a deep breath, slowly sat up, and looked at the middle-aged man.
Even if we save him, we can't do it easily, otherwise it will make Lanyang Palace seem easy to control!
Feng Jue said, "Although the Lianshan Sect may not be as glorious as it once was, it still has some reputation. How dare the other party, without any scruples, force Xue Bufan to jump off a cliff?"
The middle-aged man's face became even more bitter.
What kind of reputation does the Lianshan Sect have now? With nearly a thousand members, there are only two Jindan-stage elders, and not a single respectable young man! Xue Bufan, the man who carried the sect's hopes, had his spiritual roots shattered and turned him into a mortal. It's a pity.
He didn't say anything. The woman kneeling beside him raised her head, looking at Feng Jue with tearful eyes, and said, "Palace Master, those thieves are well-trained and their cultivation is superior to ours. They injured three of us with one strike, unlike ordinary robbers. Moreover, they had a clear purpose. After injuring people, they directly stole our storage bags. It seems that they came here... to apologize to Lanyang Palace."
"How dare you! Do you mean that these people were sent by Lanyang Palace?" Siyi, who was serving at the bottom of the stairs, changed her gentle image and said angrily with a frown.
The middle-aged man was sweating profusely. He had this thought in his mind on the way to Lanyang Palace, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He didn't expect that this outspoken girl would say it out loud.
"Xiao Tao! What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize to the Palace Master right now!"
The woman named Xiao Tao moved her lips, frightened by Feng Jue's glance, and said tremblingly: "I didn't say that it was the Palace Master who sent someone, I just knew that Lan Yang Palace was here to apologize.
We were the only ones present, and the timing of our encounter with the robbers on our way from Lanyang Palace to Hongjiao Mountain was... what a coincidence."
Siyi's face changed and she quickly looked at the palace maids on both sides. The two rows of palace maids, like flowers, showed astonishment on their faces and lowered their heads even lower.
"Isn't it that there's a thief within your Lianshan Sect, stealing from the inside?"
Xiao Tao's face darkened as she said sadly, "It can't be us. Apart from Elder Li and me, no one else...even the young master fell off the cliff. If it was me or Elder Li who were in cahoots with the bandits, we would have escaped by now. Why would we come to Lanyang Palace for help?"
Well-reasoned and well-founded.
03 updated the Lianshan Sect's character files, adding Xiaotao and Elder Li's names and annotating their characteristics. As it filled in Elder Li's portrait, Elder Li sighed. 03 heard Feng Jue mock in a low voice, "Another elder."
03 Mark the host's evaluation of Elder Li truthfully, and change Elder Li's name to Li Tanqi.
This task was completed in the blink of an eye. 03 asked Feng Jue: "Does the host want to take action?"
Feng Jue's eyes fell on 03.
03 said: "Among the 90% of hosts who choose to quickly become immortals, 90% of them will try to snatch the protagonist's opportunity. However, considering the time these people spend seeking help, the protagonist may have already encountered the opportunity. If the host wants to take action, please do so as soon as possible."
Get moving!
“…”
Seize Xue Bufan's opportunity?
Feng Jue's long eyelashes were tinted a pale gold by the sunlight, and the fire in his pupils burned even brighter, unbelievably real. Facing Elder Li and Xiao Tao's expectant gazes, Feng Jue raised his lips in disdain and asked, "The Lanyang Palace and the Lianshan Sect are no longer connected. Since I ascended the throne, the two sects have had no contact. Shouldn't you show some sincerity in asking me to intervene?"
Her words clearly put immense pressure on the two men, sweat breaking out on their foreheads. Elder Li, in particular, was torn between his own conscience and his own desires. Knowing that Xue Bufan had been deposed and rendered worthless, the Lanyang Palace's apology was their greatest reward.
But the apology gift was snatched away...
Elder Li thought for a moment and began to show weakness: "It's not that the Lianshan Sect doesn't want to interact with the Lanyang Palace, but you know the Lianshan Sect's current situation. We really don't have anything to offer... When the Palace Master ascended to the throne, the Lianshan Sect didn't offer a gift because they were afraid of being ridiculed. Moreover, the Palace Master was engaged to Young Master Bufan at the time. If the Lianshan Sect were to be embarrassed, wouldn't that also bring trouble to the Palace Master?"
His self-justification, which was full of loopholes, made the Lianshan Sect appear innocent, as if anyone who wanted to interact with the Lianshan Sect and offer a gift would be
It was just a deliberate embarrassment. The high-sounding excuse made Feng Jue sigh in his heart: Who said the Lianshan Sect didn't have anything to show for it? This shamelessness is worth seeing.
Before Elder Li finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "If the Palace Master is willing to help retrieve the compensation, the Lianshan Sect is willing to return half of the original compensation."
"And there is Young Master Bufan! Please, Palace Master, save Young Master Bufan!" Xiao Tao said immediately.
Elder Li felt impatient and reluctantly said, "If the Palace Master rescues the young master, the other half of the compensation will also be returned to Lanyang Palace."
However, he believed that Feng Jue would not be willing to take action. Xue Bufan's questioning in the palace that day was still ringing in his ears. Xue Bufan was now a mortal. After falling off the cliff, not to mention his life, his bones would probably be smashed into powder. How could he be saved?
"There's no need to apologize." Feng Jue said.
Elder Li's eyes flashed with pride.
"But I want something more." Feng Jue's words gave hope to Xiao Tao, who was in tears. She raised her head suddenly and saw the beautiful Palace Master of Lanyang Palace looking at her.
Feng Jue asked, "What's your name?"
Xiao Tao hesitantly said, "Xue Mengtao, Xue is the young master's Xue, and Mengtao is the name given to me by the young master when he dreamed of a peach forest on the day I followed him. I am not a disciple of the Lianshan Sect, but just a servant by his side."
Xue Mengtao.
03 quickly updated the information and whispered into Feng Jue's ear: "Generally, this kind of character will become a member of the harem and have the characteristic of being loyal."
Feng Jue's eyelids twitched when he heard the word "harem" and he really wanted to pull 03 down and throw him out of the sky, but since she was Xue Bufan's person...
"I am willing to rescue Xue Bufan. If he is dead, I will bring his body back. In return, I want you to enter my Lanyang Palace and serve me from now on without any second thoughts. Can you do it?" Feng Jue asked Xue Mengtao.
Her words made everyone look surprised. Siyi looked up at Feng Jue in confusion, not understanding what Feng Jue meant.
Elder Li was delighted.
A pretty maid and half of the treasures from heaven and earth, even a fool would know how to choose!
He immediately called Xue Mengtao's name and said in a deep voice, "Since the Palace Master has said so, why don't you accept it? When you return to Lanyang Palace, you must be as devoted to the young master as you were to him!"
Xue Mengtao had never imagined that she would one day leave Xue Bufan and the Chu family. Her mind was blank. Elder Li leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The resources of Lanyang Palace are incomparable to those of Lianshan Sect. Xiaotao, you're so lucky!"
"Good fortune..." Xue Mengtao smiled bitterly in her heart, kowtowed to Feng Jue, and said, "As long as the Palace Master is willing to help
Xiao Tao is willing to serve the Palace Master for life, and will never have second thoughts! "
Feng Jue nodded lazily, nodded to Siyi, stood up and said, "There is no time to lose, let's go."
Siyi bowed and took out the flying magic weapon from the storage ring.
The magic weapon turned into a stream of light and flew out of the hall, then turned into a three-story ship. The palace maids serving in the hall left the hall and boarded the ship.
Feng Jue was also about to leave when suddenly a silver ball came close to his nose.
"Host, after analyzing your behavior, I understand." 03 said.
Feng Jue: “?”
"Some hosts snatch the protagonist's opportunities, some hosts snatch the protagonist's roles, but you, host, choose to snatch the protagonist's women!" The little light bulb above 03's head dinged, "Host, if you snatch all the women in the protagonist's harem, not only will you interfere with the protagonist's plot, but you can also choose a Taoist partner from the harem, killing two birds with one stone!"
03 admired Feng Jue's unconventional approach and expressed encouragement, "The host chose to have it all between quickly becoming an immortal and getting married early. To cooperate with the host, I will also carefully consider the women who may become the protagonist's harem, so I will ask the host in advance about her ability to bear it."
"Does the host have any opinion on having a harem? Is it acceptable to accept everyone who comes?"
"If you want them all, why not plan a storage location in the palace first? I think this mountain is good. It's close to the host's palace, which will be convenient for physical contact in the future and prepare for having children..." 03 kept chattering and even pulled out the map panel to show Feng Jue the house.
Phoenix Technique: “………………”
“03.”
She said softly, "Shut up."
The author has something to say
Work Log
The host gave the suggestion seriously, and the host did not consider rejecting it at all.
The host has been rejecting me, so I'll think about it again.
