Chapter 376 Do You Think I'm Jealous?
Jiang Ning said: "This matter is too important, I am afraid..."
Li Weiyi took the chopsticks and started eating: "If you report this to the higher-ups, I will be a traitor to the Dao Sect and will surely die. You asked me to trust you, and now that I trust you, you want to kill me?"
Jiang Ning frowned, caught in a dilemma: "Since you walked out of the underground immortal palace, it means that the cult's headquarters is really under Fuzhou. Now the tombstones and graves spreading out from Fuzhou must be the corpses of the cult planting rice."
"The world will be in great trouble. If Lingxiao Palace does not quickly eradicate the Sui Sect, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Li Weiyi said: "I know that the life and death of an individual is insignificant compared to the lives and deaths of countless people in the world. But do I deserve to die?"
“You…Hey!”
Jiang Ning looked at the list in his hand with worry: "What is this list?"
Li Weiyi said, "I don't know much, I just know that many court masters explored the underground immortal palace and were captured by the Divine Cult. Now thirty people have been released, but I don't know which thirty people they are. I want to find them, clean them up, and do something for the people of the world within my ability."
Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and he felt that Li Weiyi seemed to have not changed.
Li Weiyi's expression became serious, and he lowered his voice: "My plan is this! I have the spirit fire of death in my body, so I can't directly tell the secret that Sui Zong is a member of Dao Cult. But I can instigate the forces within Dao Cult, and use Dao Cult's hands to get rid of Sui Zong."
Jiang Ning nodded: "It is one of the few ways to break the impasse, but it will be extremely difficult to implement. You must have capable helpers in the court and within the Sui Dynasty."
"The Jiuli Hidden Sect has connections inside the Sui Sect who hold high positions," said Li Weiyi.
Jiang Ning said: "But within the court, Zhuang Yue alone cannot accomplish anything."
Li Weiyi asked, "Who else can we look for? Tai Shi Bai?"
"The Taishi family is in charge of defense, so I'm afraid they can't help much. Besides, do you and Taishi Bai really have such a deep friendship? Do you really not mind your identity as the son of a cult? Can you trust you completely?" Jiang Ning said.
Li Weiyi asked, "How is Ge Xiantong?"
"Not as good as Taishi Bai." Jiang Ning said.
Li Weiyi was distressed and buried his head in his food: "I'll think of a solution."
Jiang Ning stared at him seriously. Seeing that he didn't understand at all, after a while, he couldn't help but asked, "Don't you consider me?"
"Lord Jiang is of course my first choice. He is impeccable in terms of friendship, wisdom, ability, and character. But there is one thing that worries me."
Li Weiyi said seriously, "I heard from Yang Qingxi that the Second Palace Master intends to grant Yao Qian a marriage in order to win over Emperor Suizong. And the object of the marriage is you, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. The marriage between Emperor Suizong and the Jiang family will allow him to quickly integrate into the court and avoid being attacked and excluded..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Jiang Ning said, "Nonsense, I have never heard of this."
Li Weiyi said: "This statement came from Yang Shenjing, so it should be true. Maybe you went to Du'e Temple, so this matter was delayed. Yao Qian entered the immortal world in Jiazi, and his character, appearance, talent, and conversation are all the best in the world. I don't know what you think in your heart, so..."
“Bang!”
Jiang Ning slapped the list in front of him and said, "You don't know what I think, but I know what you think. Just like what you said at Nanyan Pass, what about the lover's help? Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid you felt very uncomfortable at that time."
"puff!"
Li Weiyi couldn't help himself and sprayed all the tea he had just drunk onto the ground.
Then, pretending to be calm, he said, "Do you think I'm jealous? Yes, Fairy Yu is very famous, the most beautiful woman in the world, and many men can't sleep at night because of you, but my fiancée Hong Ting is not bad, right? She looks like a fairy in a Taoist robe, and she looks heroic with a feather fan. How is she inferior to you?"
Jiang Ning lost interest in continuing the conversation, so she put on her veil and her magic nightgown and prepared to leave: "I can help you deal with the Sui Sect. We have the same demands. When you need my help, just ask Zhuang Yue or Grandpa Zhuang to pass the message to me."
"Now there's one thing!"
Li Weiyi flipped through the list in his hand and said, "Tomorrow at 6:00 pm, find a way to invite a powerful figure in Luantai to visit Yao Qian."
"No more?" Jiang Ning said.
Li Weiyi said: "Yao Qian is so powerful. When fighting with him, you can't leave too many traces. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive."
Jiang Ning walked out of the courtyard, raised his smoky almond eyes, looked at the starry sky above, and sighed deeply. He could feel the difficulty of Li Weiyi's survival in the cracks. Facing such a behemoth as the Sui Sect and the cult, he could still force a smile.
“The whole world praises him, but he does not encourage me. The whole world criticizes him, but he does not discourage me.”
The Qianlong Lantern Festival has become famous.
Although the ancestral land was abandoned, its resilience was not lost.
No matter how great the disaster in life is, don’t change your original intention.
Jiang Ning's thin and slender figure gradually faded away and was submerged in the falling snow.
What follows will be a difficult and dangerous struggle.
Li Weiyi finished the remaining food and, seeing that a heavy snow was approaching, he shouted, "Zhuang Yue, clear a room for me. I'll stay here with you tonight!"
He was so tired that he slept very soundly that night.
I didn't get up until noon the next day. I opened the door and the formation. A cold wind whistled in and the sky was gray.
There was a heavy hammering sound in the yard.
Li Weiyi walked down from the attic and went in the direction of the sound.
I saw the lame, white-haired old man from last night, now shirtless, holding a hammer and hammering hard.
Next to it was a pile of damaged magical instruments.
The old man put it back into the furnace and hammered it into iron blocks.
"Grandpa Zhuang!" Li Weiyi called out and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Lao Zhuang put down the war hammer in his hand. His face was thin, but his muscles were knotted and he looked vigorous. He smiled and said, "Zhuang Yue has gone to Luantai! Don't leave in a hurry. Let's chat."
"Okay." Li Weiwei said.
"Let's not eat at home today. Let's go to a restaurant."
Lao Zhuang led Li Weiyi out of the house, limping on his right foot, as they walked on the snow half a foot thick.
Li Weiyi wanted to help him, but he refused.
He laughed and said, "During the bloody battle in Cang Yuan, my entire leg was broken. Although it was later reattached, the flesh, blood, tendons and bones were severely damaged by the power of the demon clan and could not be fully restored."
"Grandpa Zhuang is a slave from the West Sea?"
Li Weiyi had long seen that Lao Zhuang had a very high level of cultivation and had definitely achieved the fruit of the Tao.
Lao Zhuang nodded and said, "Most of those living in Qingyunfang are veterans of the West Sea Slave, who are similar to me. They are either disabled or their cultivation is half-wasted. Fortunately, they are still somewhat useful and can be recycled into magic tools."
"The materials used to refine magical instruments are extremely precious."
"Like the standard sword of the West Sea Slaves, the Numa Zhan, it must be made of the densest metal from the Shenshan Mine."
"Ordinary soldiers' magic weapons are made of Shenshan Black Iron. The Numa Slash of the Hundred-Character Weapon Level must be made of Shenshan Black Copper. The Thousand-Character Weapon must be made of Shenshan Black Silver."
"But Yunzhou, where the Shenshan Mine is located, was swallowed up by the Netherworld of the Dead a thousand years ago. It would cost a huge price to mine there."
Lao Zhuang came to a noodle restaurant not far from the gate of Minglunli and ordered two bowls of noodle soup.
He is familiar with the store owner and is Xihainu's comrade-in-arms.
Lao Zhuang continued, "Zhuang Yue's parents both died in the Cangyuan War. I knew I couldn't take good care of her, so I sent her to Luantai. This child is actually quite lonely. Perhaps because she doesn't have her parents by her side, she is always a little bit out of her mind, stubborn and stubborn."
Li Weiyi understood what Lao Zhuang meant: "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhuang. I'm not the kind of person who will do anything to achieve my goal. I will always do things from beginning to end."
Old Zhuang smiled and waved his hand: "Last night, Zhuang Yue told me a lot. She trusts you very much and thinks highly of you... To be exact, the entire Lingxiao City thinks highly of you now."
"This morning, I heard many old friends tell me excitedly about your legendary story in the palace last night. You broke the Dao Image, severely injured Xie Chucai, and cultivated the Golden Crow Flame Telekinesis and the Fusang Divine Tree Spirit. Your telekinesis talent is rare in the world and is not much inferior to those young emperors."
"I didn't even have the nerve to tell them that the rare genius in the world was sleeping in my house."
"By the way, how should I address you? Zuo Ning?"
Li Weiyi said: "Li Weiwei."
Lao Zhuang nodded and said, "Xiao Li, I'm telling you so much not to blame you, but to ask you for help. I'm exactly 120 years old this year, and my life is in these few years. After I die, Zhuang Yue's character won't last long in the court and the chaotic world. Jiang Ning can protect her for a while, but not for her whole life. Just like the two years I was away at Du'e Temple."
"Take her away from the court and take her to Lizhou. It's actually quite good to be a commoner. If you are lucky, you can stay by my side and be a maid."
Lao Zhuang was obviously worried about Zhuang Yue's future, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Li Weiyi said: "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhuang, I will definitely take her away."
"Eat noodles, eat noodles..."
Two bowls of noodle soup were served.
Li Weiyi asked, "In fact, I have always been curious about one thing. What was the reason for the defeat of the Western Sea Slaves back then? The power of the Far West Ashes Region and the demon tribe at that time should not have been strong enough to crush you, right?"
Lao Zhuang was lost in memories, feeling sad: "In the battle of Cangyuan, 30,000 slaves from the West Sea were killed or injured, and almost all of them were elite soldiers above the Five Seas Realm. From then on, their vitality was severely damaged and they could never reach their peak again."
"Many of our old friends have secretly analyzed the reasons for countless defeats."
"First, of course, it's because the enemy is strong."
"The second is that there are many ember spirits lurking in the army."
"Third, I heard a conspiracy theory that some people in the court felt that the Xihai Nu was too threatening and wanted to weaken them."
"Fourthly, it happened that the Oda Order was in power at that time, and someone wanted to force this matter in the army, which caused great chaos in the army. Perhaps the court did not expect that the West Sea Slaves would be defeated so badly, with such heavy casualties, causing a tragedy of chaos in the world for more than ten years."
Li Weiyi asked, "Do you have any complaints against the court?"
Lao Zhuang sighed, "Yes, but if the war spreads to Lingxiao City one day, we will still pick up the Numa Zhan and protect the glory of Xihai Nu and all lives worth protecting."
Li Weiyi didn't ask any more questions. After finishing his noodles, he asked Lao Zhuang to help contact Song Lin.
Afterwards, he quietly entered the palace with Song Lin in another identity to refine the ghost energy in Song Qingli's body.
It was already afternoon when we walked out of the Xihai Palace.
He rented a carriage and drove towards Luantai.
In the car, Li Weiyi checked the box of Xing Zhou Dan sent by Song Lin. There were thirty of them, worth millions of Yongquan coins. With this huge resource, it would be just around the corner to become a six-star spiritual master.
Put it away.
His eyes focused, and he released a telekinetic field that enveloped the space inside the car. Only then did he activate the Buddha's relics and pull Tang Wanzhou out of the blood-mud space... uh...
He was invited out, so His Excellency Young Master did not put up a fierce resistance.
…
Asking for monthly ticket...
