Chapter 289: Uncle Tian’s old lover, the worried Yue Lao Mu
Lizhou Mountain and Sea Division Headquarters, Third Battalion.
Among the twelve teams in the entire Lizhou Mountain and Sea Division, the third team has a similar number to it, and happens to be one of the top three teams in the entire Lizhou Mountain and Sea Division.
The only two other brigades that can surpass it are the 6th and 9th brigades.
The reason why the Third Battalion has such strong strength.
On the one hand, it was because the leader of this team, Jie Mingjing, was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Golden Core Stage.
If he takes one more step forward, he will be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage and become a great figure who can become the Great Palm Master.
On the other hand, in addition to Jie Mingjing, there are two other Jindan-stage mountain and sea travelers in this team.
One of them was Liu Shaohai, whom Lu Chen met during the assessment of the Chief Advisor not long ago.
In fact, whether it is Liu Shaohai or the other Jiang Yuanshan.
They are all fully qualified to become the Chief Eunuch.
But for various reasons, they are reluctant to leave the state and take up positions elsewhere.
Otherwise, the chief administrator of the Shanhai Division would be assigned to each position.
But with a scale as large as the Immortal Alliance, there are challenges to be faced in many aspects.
Every year, some chief executives would die or lose their qualifications to become chief executives for various reasons, thus leaving their positions vacant.
If Lu Chen hadn't interfered, Liu Shaohai would still have a good chance in this assessment of the Palm Master.
"Shao Hai, that kid called Lu Chen, is he really as evil as you and Yuan Shan said?"
"The soul attack that even you veteran Jindan stage cultivators couldn't withstand actually had no effect on him."
In the lounge of the Third Battalion, Jie Mingjing looked at the tablet computer in his hand with curiosity.
What was displayed on it was Lu Chen’s simple information.
More detailed information requires higher permissions to unlock.
At least Jie Mingjing is not qualified.
In response to Jie Mingjing's curiosity, Liu Shaohai replied, "Sister Jing, I don't know exactly what happened, but before Lao Jiang and I woke up, Lu Chen had indeed woken up a long time ago."
"And Master Shentu said himself that if that kid hadn't taken action, Lao Jiang and I would have had a hard time surviving."
Hearing this, Jie Mingjing became even more curious about Lu Chen.
Although for various reasons, the content of this assessment of the Palm Master was kept highly confidential within the Lizhou Mountain and Sea Division.
This means that outsiders have no idea what happened in this assessment.
But we can get a glimpse of the situation. A spiritual attack that even Liu Shaohai and others found difficult to resist was easily blocked by a young man who was decades younger than them.
This either means that Lu Chen has some special talent or means, or that his spiritual strength is even stronger than that of Liu Shaohai and others.
It's even possible that it's both.
After thinking about it, Jie Mingjing subconsciously looked outside the lounge.
Outside the lounge was a huge indoor practice field.
Some of the mountain and sea walkers in the third team were now sparring with each other.
Among those who were sparring with each other, three were from Lihuo Taoist Academy just like Lu Chen.
The only difference between them and Lu Chen is that Lu Chen just entered the school this year, while among the three people, except for one who is a sophomore, the other two are juniors.
Even though Lu Chen was only one or two years behind these three people.
But because of the cultivation resources and the special training grounds in Lihuo Taoist Academy.
Compared to these three people, Lu Chen has practiced for at least ten to twenty years less.
As a student who graduated from Lihuo Taoist Academy, Jie Mingjing was very clear that practicing in the Taoist academy and practicing outside the Taoist academy were completely different things.
Thinking of Lu Chen and those young people who have recently become famous in the Immortal Alliance.
Jie Mingjing sighed subconsciously: "It seems that we are all old..."
Liu Shaohai, who was standing aside, looked at Jie Mingjing's soft and beautiful face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, he still chose not to speak out what was in his heart, but comforted her: "Sister Jie, you don't look old at all."
"Besides, for us monks, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye."
Jie Mingjing shook his head and said, "A hundred years... is enough time for a lot to happen."
For a moment, the lounge fell into an eerie silence.
Just then, a walker from the third team knocked on the door.
"Enter."
"Captain Xie, Deputy Captain Liu, the captain and deputy captain of the eleventh team outside want to discuss something with you."
"Um?"
Xie Mingjing and Liu Shaohai naturally knew who the chief manager and deputy captain of the 11th team were.
However, neither of them expected that they had just started talking about Lu Chen and he would come to visit them on his own initiative.
With some curiosity, Jie Mingjing immediately replied: "Please invite them to the reception room."
"yes."
Reception room of the third battalion of Lizhou Shanhaisi.
"Brother Lu, long time no see."
Facing Liu Shaohai's greeting, Lu Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "It's been a few days since we last met."
Liu Shaohai didn't feel awkward at all. After all, a few days were still a long time, and there was nothing wrong with saying "long time no see".
After greeting Lu Chen, Liu Shaohai immediately said hello to Mu Xiaoye who was beside Lu Chen: "Master Mu, I wonder what brought you and Brother Lu here together?"
"With you here, no one in our company dares to make things difficult for you."
"Besides, you don't even need to reveal your identity. Brother Lu's current reputation alone is enough to deal with a lot of trouble."
"The first eighteen-year-old Master of Scriptures in Jiuzhou. I don't believe there is any fool who would offend such a future immortal."
Faced with Liu Shaohai's half-joking words, although Mu Xiaoye didn't know the other person, she could feel that he had no ill intentions.
So she spread her hands and said helplessly: "Don't ask me, I don't know what Xiao Lu is doing here."
"He's the captain, I'm the vice-captain, just listen and that's it."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the reception room became more lively.
During this process, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were secretly observing Jie Mingjing who was sitting next to Liu Shaohai.
Jie Mingjing's appearance was not absolutely beautiful, but it was considered above average.
What's even more rare is that the other person has an indescribable intelligence that makes people feel no dislike for him at all, and he is very quiet.
But neither Lu Chen nor Mu Xiaoye would underestimate Jie Mingjing because of this.
After all, he is the second-ranked chief of the Lizhou Mountain and Sea Division headquarters.
Rumor has it that this person actually had the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage a few years ago, and his success rate was quite high.
But due to some special reasons, the other party was unable to make a real breakthrough.
And just when Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were secretly observing Jie Mingjing.
The other party was also looking at Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye.
What made the two of them a little strange was that the way Jie Mingjing looked at them was... a little strange.
How to put it, her eyes were so gentle that it didn't seem like she was looking at two juniors, but at her two children.
This strange maternal glow made Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye inexplicably nervous.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
"Um, how has Tianqi been doing these past few years?"
"ah?"
Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye exclaimed in surprise.
Then Mu Xiaoye looked at Jie Mingjing and replied, "Are you talking about Uncle Yu Tianqi?"
Jie Mingjing nodded.
Although she didn't say anything, her expression and eyes showed that she was very concerned about this issue.
In other words, she cares a lot about Yu Tianqi.
For a moment, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye looked at each other, and both saw gossip in each other's eyes.
Then, curious Mu Xiaoye hurriedly asked: "Um, Mirror Palm Sutra, you and Uncle Tian are..."
Before Mu Xiaoye could finish her words, Jie Mingjing waved his hand gently.
"There's no need to be so distant. If you don't mind, you can just call me Aunt Jing."
"Also, my relationship with Brother Tian is pretty much what you guessed. If there hadn't been some accidents in the middle, maybe my child with him would be about your age."
Melon, there is a big melon! Mu Xiaoye's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her eyes seemed to be able to emit fire.
Lu Chen next to her seemed calm, but that could also be seen from the fact that he was leaning forward slightly.
He was very interested in their love story... But just when Mu Xiaoye wanted to dig deeper and gossip.
Liu Shaohai on the side snorted coldly: "He's just a coward, what's there to say."
"You might as well ask Yu Tianqi, do you think he dares to come to Lizhou now?"
"If he really dares to come, then I respect him as a man."
"If you don't dare, then just say it earlier, don't hurt yourself and drag others down."
Hmm? There are also melons? Mu Xiaoye's ears moved, and she almost wrote on her face that she wanted to eat melons.
Facing Liu Shaohai's obviously slightly jealous words, Jie Mingjing, who was standing beside him, changed her gentle and quiet demeanor and said coldly, "Deputy Captain Shaohai, it's not a good thing to talk about others behind their backs."
"I have something to say to these two kids alone. Could you please leave first?"
Hearing this, Liu Shaohai immediately showed a shocked expression.
It seemed that he had not expected that he would be treated like this by Jie Mingjing just because he said something "fair".
How could he be inferior to that coward? But looking at Jie Mingjing's cold expression, Liu Shaohai finally chose to leave obediently.
After all, if he had the courage to refute, why would he have stayed in Lizhou Shanhai Division for ten years without seeing any results? After Liu Shaohai left, Mu Xiaoye fully demonstrated her quirky personality, sitting next to Jie Mingjing in a very familiar manner, and said sweetly: "Aunt Jing, how did you and Uncle Tian know each other?"
"Xiao Lu and I have also been curious about why Tianqi doesn't find someone to keep him company at his age."
"But every time we asked him about it, he would always interrupt us, so Xiao Lu and I couldn't figure out the situation at all. We even thought he had been single all his life."
Jie Mingjing keenly noticed the key point in Mu Xiaoye's words and asked, "Brother Tian, has he been alone for so many years?"
There was a glimmer of cunning in Mu Xiaoye's eyes, and it was obvious that she was waiting for Jie Mingjing to ask this question.
Then she pretended to care about Yu Tianqi and sighed, "Isn't it true? Aunt Jing, you don't know that Uncle Tian has hardly left his small noodle shop for so many years. He is just like a lonely old man."
"If it weren't for Xiao Lu and I who often went to see him, he might have one foot in his coffin."
Lu Chen looked at Mu Xiaoye in astonishment, as if he could not connect the Yu Tianqi she mentioned with the muscular old man in his memory who was nearly two meters tall.
But for some reason, Jie Mingjing seemed to believe Mu Xiaoye’s lies.
His expression was very sad, as if he had imagined many unrealistic scenes in his mind.
Mu Xiaoye struck while the iron was hot and said, "Aunt Jing, although I don't know what happened between you and Uncle Tian, I can tell that Uncle Tian must have something on his mind."
"Because every time we went to his shop to eat noodles, we would see him sitting alone at the door of the shop, looking towards the south, as if he was thinking about someone."
After hearing these words, Lu Chen was completely stunned.
No, Xiao Ye, you really speak without thinking.
Yu Tianqi's noodle shop faces north and south. When he was sitting at the door out of boredom, wasn't he looking towards the south?
Otherwise, where should he look? It was obviously a very simple matter, but under Mu Xiaoye's exaggeration, it changed its meaning.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly felt that it was a pity for Xiao Ye to practice Taoism.
Compared to cultivating immortality, she is more talented in journalism!
Because what she said right now was a perfect illustration of what a fascinating moment in journalism is.
He was a master at confusing right and wrong and adding unnecessary details.
Jie Mingjing, who was fooled by Mu Xiaoye, seemed to have made an important decision after a period of silence.
She looked at Mu Xiaoye and asked, "Then do you know where Brother Tian is now?"
Mu Xiaoye seemed to be prepared and immediately took out her mobile phone, which contained the photos that Yu Tianqi had sent her not long ago after he arrived in Xuanzhou.
Yu Tianqi's original intention was just to tell the two of them to stay safe.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by Mu Xiaoye, the "Moon Man" on the spot.
Jie Mingjing held Mu Xiaoye's phone in both hands, looking at Yu Tianqi on the screen, who looked much older but still energetic, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Tell him to wait for me in Xuanzhou. I'll go find him right away."
"I have to ask what he meant back then."
Having said that, Jie Mingjing left the reception room without looking back. What efficiency!
Looking at Jie Mingjing's back, Mu Xiaoye put down his phone leisurely, like a treacherous minister who had succeeded in his evil plan.
Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ye Zi, aren't you afraid that Uncle Tian will punish you after he finds out?"
Mu Xiaoye raised her head and answered confidently, "You want to punish me? Xiao Lu, it seems you still don't understand my current identity."
"To be frank, the future of this huge Wanye Immortal Sect and the thirteen cities in the two continents where the sect is located lies on my shoulders."
"If you want to punish me, first ask the elders of Wanye and the head of the sect if they agree!"
"Besides, let's take a step back and say, we still have you, Xiao Lu."
"Uncle Tian is in the Jindan stage, and you are also in the Jindan stage now. At the moment, the offense and defense have changed. The one who should be worried about being punished should be Uncle Tian, hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.
However, he was very clear about one thing, that is, Mu Xiaoye was not deliberately trying to harm Yu Tianqi, but was trying to let his old lover catch him.
On the contrary, this move was actually saving Yu Tianqi.
You know, Lu Chen could see that Yu Tianqi seemed to be determined to die. Although Mu Xiaoye seemed heartless, she just didn't bother to guess what most people were thinking.
At the moment, Mu Xiaoye is just taking advantage of the situation to rekindle Yu Tianqi's fighting spirit.
Lu Chen had guessed this, so he didn't pay attention to Mu Xiaoye's deceptive behavior of calling a horse a zebra.
Lu Chen even felt that Jie Mingjing was very likely aware that Mu Xiaoye was talking nonsense.
But a lot of things are just like flipping a coin.
The focus is not on the outcome of the toss, but on the act of tossing the coin.
Because for many things, before you even flip a coin... you already have the answer in your mind.
Mu Xiaoye is taking advantage of the situation, and so is Jie Mingjing.
But in this case, it seems that their purpose of coming to the Third Battalion cannot be continued.
After all, Jie Mingjing, the captain of the third brigade, has left.
Where can they find someone to cooperate with? Thinking of this, Lu Chen had to change his original purpose.
But compared to this, Lu Chen was more curious about what happened soon after when Yu Tianqi was approached by his old lover.
Just thinking about it, I feel it will be very interesting.
