Chapter 607: The princess woos you, and I recommend myself (please subscribe)
After hearing this, Wei Tu suddenly realized that Palace Master Luo had other considerations in recommending him as the enshrined elder of the Jishan Sect.
However, he still insisted on saying thank you to Palace Master Luo.
After all, he will receive real benefits by becoming an elder of the Jishan Sect.
After talking about the matter of worshiping the elders.
Hall Master Luo hesitated for a while, then took out a storage bag from his body and handed it to Wei Tu.
“The corpse of the beloved?”
Wei Tu took the storage bag, glanced at it with a look of surprise on his face.
In the storage bag, there was nothing else, only the skeleton of an old man with white hair and beard. The old man was wearing a silver robe, which was broken into two pieces at the waist. His eyes were protruding, his appearance was ferocious, and his expression was full of deep fear.
Obviously, before his death, he was filled with great fear of his own death.
Even though he had never met his beloved before, he already knew the demon's appearance and aura very well from the intelligence.
"This demon, Luo wanted to tear out his bones and eat his flesh raw. But unfortunately, the time was too hasty when rescuing the little girl, so this demon could only die in a hurry without being tortured."
“Now, I am giving this demon’s bones to Wei for worship because I want to ask Wei to worship for something...”
Hall Master Luo looked at Wei Tu with a sincere face and said slowly.
“Please?” Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and had some more guesses in his mind.
“Please, Master Luo, please elaborate.”
Wei Tu did not say yes or no, but asked Palace Master Luo to speak out first, and then he would make a decision.
He can do whatever is convenient, but if it is too complicated and time-consuming, he should think about the pros and cons.
Hall Master Luo did not show dissatisfaction with Wei Tu's answer. If Wei Tu agreed directly, he would have to consider whether Wei Tu's character was trustworthy.
"Just now, Luo has already told Wei Zongfeng about the disadvantages of the "Reincarnation Mysterious Skill" that my daughter has practiced. When you practice this skill deeply, your emotions will gradually fade away..."
“Now that she has left the Yin Gui Sect, her situation should be alleviated with my future treatment.”
“But if... Luo is no longer here in the future, we still need the help of the guards.”
Hall Master Luo sighed.
Hearing this, Wei Tu was suddenly enlightened and said to himself, "Sure enough."
Just now, when he saw the corpse of his beloved, he guessed that the reason why Palace Master Luo gave him the demon's corpse was probably related to the "Xuan Gong of Reincarnation" practiced by Luo Mingzhen.
The only value of this demon corpse now is that it is really useful to Luo Ming.
It is like a needle. Although it will sting Luo Mingzhen, it can also allow him to regain the emotions of a monk in the state of "forgetting his emotions and forgetting his heart" while practicing the "Xuan Gong of Reincarnation".
The reason why Palace Master Luo gave him this task is also very simple.
—He participated in the rescue of Luo Mingzhen during this trip, and he is a trustworthy person in the eyes of Palace Master Luo.
In terms of trust, he may not be as good as other people around Palace Master Luo, but his strength is undoubtedly capable of shouldering this important task. In the eyes of Palace Master Luo, he is the most suitable person to "rescue" his daughter in the future.
“This is a small matter, Wei agrees.”
Wei Tu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
This matter is not a last resort for Palace Master Luo, it is just to be prepared to prevent future accidents. There is nothing wrong with him agreeing, but it will further deepen the relationship between the two parties.
Moreover, even if he is leaving alone at the end of his life, he has nothing to lose personally, he just has to do this small favor.
…
A few days later.
Wei Tu, Palace Master Luo, and Luo Mingzhen used the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to return to the Neixu Sea.
While reentering the Welcome Hall of the Jishan Sect, Wei Tu noticed that there was some turmoil in the Jishan Sect, and many monks were walking around the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Obviously, the matter of Palace Master Luo's trip to rescue his beloved daughter "Luo Mingzhen" has been leaked, and it has spread to more than 90% of the middle and high-level people of the Jishan Sect.
“It should be the work of the Youshen Cult.”
Wei Tu was certain that if Feng Han and other senior leaders of the Jishan Sect had known about it, they would not have caused as much fuss as they did now, and they would have written "infighting" on their faces.
No matter whether Luo Mingzhen was kidnapped by Feng Han and others, this incident is a scandal and should be suppressed by the top leaders of the Jishan Sect instead of being brought to the forefront.
After seeing this, the envoys led by Wei Tu and Lu Qiu Qingfeng also restrained their minions and waited calmly for the day of the "incident".
They both knew it.
As long as there are internal conflicts within the Jishan sect and the Luqiu clan’s single-minded behavior, it won’t be a problem.
Conversely, in order to ensure the stability of the Jishan Sect’s external environment, the Jishan Sect also needs to appease the Luqiu clan.
as expected.
On the third day, the Jishan sect cultivators who had previously ignored the Luqiu clan's envoy began to express goodwill towards the envoy. They first apologized and said that they had not treated the envoy well, and then they repeatedly held spiritual banquets to entertain the envoy. monk.
Including Wei Tu, the "emperor's close minister", was also included in the Jishan Sect's efforts. Many middle and high-level members of the Jishan Sect sent him letters of invitation, expressing their intention to make friends.
Wei Tu readily accepted this and became friends with these monks without any hesitation.
So—
Soon, the Luqiu Clan’s envoys returned to their previous treatment, and there was no longer a diplomatic crisis with the Jishan Sect.
"On this trip, with the help of fellow Taoist Wei, I can complete my mission safely. Fellow Taoist Wei, I should be my right-hand man!"
Luqiu Qingfeng held a private banquet in person to thank Wei Tu for helping her during this trip. After all, without Wei Tu, she would still be at a loss as to where to start to alleviate the conflict between the Luqiu clan and the Jishan sect.
Wei Tu, who was sitting in the second seat, noticed that Luqiu Qingfeng today was different from before. Not only did she put on more friendly regular clothes, but also a girlish shy smile appeared on her dimples from time to time, as if she was interested in him. Some kind of hint.
“It’s because he saw my value, so he further attracted me.”
Wei Tu speculated in his mind.
During this trip to rescue Luo Mingzhen, outside monks knew that Palace Master Luo personally took action, but they did not know who was accompanying Palace Master Luo.
However, the monks among them did not include Luqiu Qingfeng.
This woman knew that he was the one who went to Yin Gui Sect with Palace Master Luo. She also knew that he performed extremely well at the mountain gate of Yin Gui Sect and was on par with Yin Mozi.
This, in his opinion, is extremely unusual.
But in the eyes of Luqiu Qingfeng, it was completely different.
Although he had a record of killing Luqiu Jinyuan before, that battle was more of an ambush and encirclement and killing, and there was a certain element of trickery.
The battle with Yin Mozi was an upright one-on-one fight, and it was difficult to fake the process.
In other words.
His current value, in the eyes of Luqiu Qingfeng, is almost as much as that of Yin Mozi, the ancestor of Yin Gui Sect.
You must know that Yin Mozi is one of the top three Nascent Soul giants in the red algae sea area. In terms of strength, he is only one level weaker than the old leader of the Luqiu clan, the "King of Luqiu People".
However, Wei Tu did not want to have a further in-depth relationship with Luqiu Qingfeng.
Now, he has received the promise from Palace Master Luo and is about to become the enshrined elder of the Jishan Sect. There is no need to worry too much about the Luqiu clan.
What the Luqiu clan can give him, the Jishan sect can give him. To be more cruel, he has now come into contact with the Jishan Sect, and the "pedal" of the Luqiu clan no longer has much effect on him.
Secondly, Lu Qiu Qingfeng's temperament can be seen in her handling of Lu Qiu Qing's matter, and it is inevitable that she has some bad temperament.
His close friendship with this woman is not a good thing.
Of course, Wei Tu would not show his thoughts so obviously. With a smile on his lips, he took the cup of fragrant tea handed to him by Lu Qiu Qingfeng and sipped it, just like before.
“The Demon Kingdom of Donghua is rich in resources, covers thousands of miles, and has countless forces under its control. But I only have one person, so sometimes...it is inevitable that I will not be able to handle it..."
“It should be easier if I have more Taoist friends to help me.”
Luqiu Qingfeng picked up the hair hanging in front of her forehead, tucked it behind her ears, and said in a gentle tone.
"Assistant?" Wei Tu understood a little, and understood that Lu Qiu Qingfeng valued not only his realm strength, but also his practical ability.
Although he is not one of the best in governing the country and is a capable adviser, he is more than enough to assist Lu Qiu Qingfeng like he did when he came to the Jishan Sect this time.
And Luqiu Qingfeng, after repeated setbacks, knew her own "flaws" in this area, so she wanted to further win over him and make up for it.
“Wei is not interested in governing the country. He just wants to concentrate on practicing so that he can reach the late Yuanying realm.”
Wei Tu declined politely.
What he said is also true.
When he was in the Ying Ding Department, he was not very interested in power.
Not to mention, Yuan Jie has already learned from his mistakes in his life experience.
It is impossible not to learn lessons from this.
“This time on my mission to the Jishan Sect, Fellow Daoist Wei has made great contributions. Since I don’t want to serve as an assistant minister, how should I reward me for my contribution to this mission?”
“Friend Wei Dao, you should know that I have just succeeded the crown prince and I don’t have any precious treasures with me.”
“You can’t…give away your body as a concubine.”
Luqiu Qingfeng smiled slightly and spoke her true words in a joking tone.
Her pride did not allow her to propose to Wei Tu and make him her Taoist companion.
The only way is to test it.
If... Wei Tu was really interested in her, she would reveal it further to confirm the matter.
“…gifted your concubine’s body?”
Wei Tu was stunned when he heard this. With his shrewdness, he would not think that Lu Qiu Qingfeng's words were just an unintentional mistake.
He raised his head and glanced at the Ninth Emperor's daughter, whose face was as red as a blush. He bit the tip of his tongue and composed himself.
Being an assistant minister and assisting Lu Qiu Qingfeng, the future king, in ruling the Donghua Demon Kingdom was not very attractive to him.
But if you become a Taoist companion with Luqiu Qingfeng and then control the Donghua Demon Kingdom, it will be very different.
Let’s not talk about power first…
Luqiu Qingfeng Yuanying’s later cultivation level alone is unmatched by ordinary female cultivators. It should be of great help to him if she practices both.
But after thinking for a moment, Wei Tu still decided to refuse.
For him, it is more important to become the worshiping elder of Jishan Sect now.
Once he becomes the "son-in-law" of the Luqiu clan, it will undoubtedly be difficult for him to join the Jishan sect.
—The enshrinement is in a state of being detached at any time, while the "son-in-law" is deeply bound.
The will of the top leaders of the Jishan Sect, generally speaking, is to suppress the Luqiu clan.
Nowadays, due to the infighting within the faction, the Jishan Sect tolerates the Luqiu clan, but if the infighting ends, they will definitely continue to target the Luqiu clan.
This point is the core conflict between the Jishan Sect and the Luqiu Clan, which is an external force, and it is difficult to resolve.
"That's not necessary. The relationship between Wei and the princess is a cooperative relationship. They are both honored and humiliated. This time, I help the princess for my own sake."
Wei Tu followed Lu Qiu Qingfeng's words and did not respond to his sentence of "giving my concubine as a gift". He just thought it was Lu Qiu Qingfeng's joke.
The voice fell.
Even though Luqiu Qingfeng was disappointed, she didn't feel any surprise at all.
Ten years ago, she had planned to promise Lu Qiuqing as a marriage tool to Wei Tu, but Wei Tu flatly rejected her afterwards.
Her appearance is 70% similar to that of Lu Qiu Qing.
It's just that she is higher than Lu Qiuqing in terms of realm and status, which makes men more desire to conquer.
It makes no sense. After Wei Tu rejected Lu Qiuqing, he would happily accept her.
"That's fine. Anyway, I also mentioned that I would become a Taoist couple with Wei Tu, but he himself refused..."
Luqiu Qingfeng thought in her heart.
Using her body as a bargaining chip, in her opinion, although this is not necessary to ascend to the position of leader, it can still be done if necessary.
Now, after her statement, Wei Tu's refusal... In a sense, it can be regarded as her "doing her best".
…
Half a day later.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Wei Tu said goodbye, left the private banquet, and returned to his temporary cave in the Jishan Sect's welcoming hall.
To this, Luqiu Qingfeng readily agreed and did not intercept it.
But just after Wei Tu left the incense stick, a piece of news suddenly reached the palace where she was staying.
"What?"
“Wei Tu has become the enshrined elder of the Jishan Sect?”
After Luqiu Qingfeng heard Nangong Partridge's report, her face was first full of surprise, and then full of regret.
with the Jishan Sect's enshrined elders, although this position is not very prestigious, it can't be compared with their Luqiu clan, the largest force under the Jishan Sect...
But the crux of the matter is...
Wei Tu, who in her eyes had extremely high potential in both legal and physical cultivation, took on this position.
The potential of dual cultivation of law and body at the middle level of Yuanying is comparable to that of the disciples of the gods in the six sects of Xuandao, or even higher than the potential of these disciples of the gods.
In other words, after Wei Tu becomes an enshrined elder of the Jishan Sect and comes into contact with the resources of the Jishan Sect, his potential will greatly increase and he will become a Nascent Soul monk with the talent to transform into gods.
The qualifications of Weitu itself determine the lower limit.
And the platform of Jishan Sect will determine the "upper limit" of Weitu!
But because of her own pride, she did not try to woo her a second time after the first attempt failed...
Perhaps, with her continued wooing, Wei Tu's attitude will change and he will truly "rely on" her.
"Could it be that Wei Tu knew... that he was going to become an elder of the Jishan Sect, so he deliberately refused my invitation." Lu Qiu Qingfeng was not stupid. After a brief moment of regret, he quickly thought of this.
