Chapter 628: Tong Zunzun’s decision and Luqiu Qingfeng’s frank announcement (5k6, please subscribe)
At the same time that Jishan Sect punished Luqiu Qingfeng.
Xu Wansun, who was defeated in Yuanjun Island, also used the super teleportation array to help Shanshan return to Xiaohuan Palace.
With a sad look on his face, he walked to the door of a golden palace deep in Xiaohuan Palace, knelt on his knees and said.
“The disciple is unfilial and has brought shame on the master.”
The voice fell.
The door of the palace opened immediately, revealing an old Taoist priest sitting on a lotus seat with a calm expression.
This old Taoist priest is wearing a purple robe, has white hair and a childlike face, and holds a fly whisk in his arms, just like an immortal descending to earth.
"This matter is not your fault. Only when you surrender in time for the sake of the road can you truly take the teacher's teachings into your heart."
Venerable Tong flicked his fly whisk and said softly.
“Thank you, Master, for your kindness.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Wansun couldn't help but feel guilty on his face. After he knelt down and thanked him, he straightened up from the ground.
Seeing this, Venerable Tong nodded slightly and said, "But this matter cannot be settled here. With my decree, go to Yuanjun Island again and kill Luqiu Yeming."
“Kill Luqiu Yeming?”
Hearing this, Xu Wansun was horrified. This Luqiu Yeming was the former leader of the Donghua Demon Kingdom and one of the many masters in the Luqiu clan.
Previously, he had also met with Tong Zun and received many courtesies from Tong Zun.
In his heart, he has always regarded Luqiu Yeming and other senior officials of the Luqiu clan as the "maternal family" of the Tongzun, and he did not dare to offend him too much.
Now, Venerable Tong actually gave the order to kill Luqiu Yeming? This is really hard to believe.
—He, the Luqiu clan, and even the world overestimated the bottom line of Tong Zun’s tolerance for the Luqiu clan.
"It is the father's fault that the son does not teach. Luqiu Qingfeng made a mistake, and his father should bear all this."
Venerable Tong glanced at Xu Wansun and replied casually.
He is indeed good to the Luqiu clan, but this does not mean that he is willing to accept the "bullying" of the Luqiu clan.
“Yes, Master.”
Hearing this, Xu Wansun suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Venerable Tong had stirred up the real fire, and he quickly nodded in response.
“Then…descendants of Luqiu Yeming’s lineage?”
Xu Wansun carefully bowed and asked.
To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the root. Since Lord Tong decided to kill Luqiu Yeming and frighten the Luqiu clan, the descendants of Luqiu Yeming should also be eliminated.
But what surprised Xu Wansun was.
After hearing this, Venerable Tong did not give him a definite reply. He did not say much, but flicked the fly whisk and closed the palace door in front of him.
“Disciple understands.”
Looking at this scene, Xu Wansun immediately understood and bowed his hands.
The Luqiu clan was the benefactor of Lord Tong. The purpose of killing Luqiu Yeming was to "punish his crime", and Lord Tong could issue the order.
But... if the descendants of Luqiu Yeming are slaughtered, it will inevitably be suspected of repaying kindness with hatred.
So, this sin can only be borne by him!
…
After imprisoning Lu Qiu Qingfeng in the prison of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wei Tu was not in a hurry and went to fulfill the contract and take away Lu Qiu Qingfeng's Yuan Yin.
He is going to maximize the effect of this Yuanyin and let it help him to break through to the "peak" of the late Yuanying stage in one fell swoop.
And want to do this.
It is inevitable to practice a dual cultivation method together.
All of this takes a certain amount of time.
Although Wei Tu is pressed for time now, he obviously does not lack the time to practice dual cultivation techniques with Lu Qiu Qingfeng.
time flies.
Soon, it will be half a year later.
That is the day on which the high-level meeting was held as mentioned by Zongzhu Zhu.
“What? Increase the length of practice of the Palace Master in Chongyan Secret Land?”
As soon as the topic was raised, opinions abounded.
From the interests of the sect, in order to increase the success rate of drawing the "Two-layer Golden Cauldron Talisman", the length of time for Wei Tu to practice in the Chongyan Secret Land should be increased.
However, we are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.
The "Two-layer Golden Cauldron Talisman" is important, but among the older generation of senior executives present, which one does not work hard and achieve great results?
Is it appropriate to only add more to Wei Tu but not to them?
Furthermore, the issue of Wei Tu’s origin alone is worthy of their serious discussion.
“That being the case…”
“Then this discussion will be abandoned.”
Zhu Zongzhu did not force himself and directly followed the opinions of the senior officials in the sect and denied this issue.
The same is true for Wei Tu.
From the beginning to the end of the issue, he did not express his position and remained silent.
He did not think that with Zhu Zongzhu's shrewdness, he would not reward him for his merits, causing him to alienate him.
Now, being denied by the top management is just the beginning.
He just needs to wait for Zhu Zongzhu to continue "singing opera".
as expected.
As expected by Wei Tu.
After the high-level meeting, Zhu Zongzhu summoned him, Zhuang Shou and other direct descendants to the side hall to discuss this matter separately.
“The Master of the Palace Guards has made great contributions and cannot be denied rewards. However, the higher-ups within the sect have denied this proposal… I cannot bear it…”
Zhu Zongzhu looked around at the cultivators and said slowly.
“I am determined to give up the “three years” of cultivation time of the sect leader’s lineage in the secret place of Chongyan and grant it to Palace Master Wei. Do you agree?”
All the cultivators present, except for Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou, were all cultivators of the sect master's lineage. After hearing this, they looked at each other for a while and then nodded in agreement.
Although they disagree with this matter, since Sect Leader Zhu is the one who is in charge, they have to agree even if they don't agree.
Furthermore, this is also the property of the "public family" of the clan leader. When it comes to their personal interests, the losses and benefits are not obvious.
“This is a favor given by the sect master’s lineage to Palace Master Wei. Due to emotion and reason, the talisman in the hands of Palace Master Wei should be given priority in trading with the monks from my sect master’s lineage…”
Sect Master Zhu said again.
Hearing this, the faces of the cultivators of the sect leader's lineage, who had looked hesitant just now, suddenly softened.
The trading of talismans is a big business.
After their lineage gained this benefit, it was enough to make up for the public property given away in order to "win over Wei Tu".
The loss is public.
The benefits are personal to them.
Have they any reason to disagree or be dissatisfied?
“Wei agrees.”
Wei Tu replied in due course.
Although Sect Master Zhu did not give him a greeting in advance for this profit transfer, since it was beneficial to him, he would not be stupid enough to refute Sect Master Zhu.
However, he did not express his position too much or "flatter" Sect Leader Zhu, and still remained reserved.
He knows the principle of "the fragrance is far away and the smell is near".
If he had been truly accepted as a "confidant" by Sect Master Zhu, it is not certain whether Sect Master Zhu would still be so kind to him now.
Just like Zhuang Shou now...
Although Sect Master Zhu is still close to him, his degree of win over him is undoubtedly much lower than him.
After discussing this matter, Sect Leader Zhu did not say anything more important and waved the cultivators to retreat.
However, when the show was over, Sect Leader Zhu sent a message and asked Wei Tu to stay alone.
Wei Tu was not too surprised by this. After all, Sect Master Zhu had already shown a great effort to win over him, so it was not strange to leave him alone for an interview.
In ordinary times, it was just a common thing for military officers to stay up and sleep in order to win over their subordinates.
But then, as Sect Master Zhu spoke...
He couldn't help being shocked.
“Sect Master, you mean... Luqiu Yeming was executed by Master Tong?” Wei Tu looked shocked.
He thought that Lord Tong would punish the Luqiu clan, but he never thought that it would be so cruel.
After all, according to Luqiu Qingfeng, Master Tong has a fairly tolerant character and will not punish the Luqiu clan too much.
But now...he actually issued an order to kill Luqiu Yeming.
You must know that Luqiu Yeming is the leader of the Donghua Demon Kingdom and the spiritual symbol of the Luqiu clan for thousands of years.
In addition, Luqiu Yeming is also a dignified peak Nascent Soul master.
It would inevitably seem a bit absurd for a strong man... to be so easily put to death with his hands tied up.
“The majesty of the venerable cannot be offended.”
“I, the Jishan Sect, also acquiesce in this matter.”
Zhu Zongzhu did not answer Wei Tu's words. He shook his head and said this sentence with a slightly sad tone.
Even though Luqiu Yeming had no close relationship with him, Luqiu Yeming's death also made him a little sad.
In the case of Venerable Hanyue, although he has always been favored as a closed disciple, this cannot change...the fact that if he does not become a Venerable, his life will be controlled by others.
In front of Wei Tu and others, he is a high-ranking sect respected by thousands of people, but in front of the venerable Hanyue, he is the humble one.
After sighing, Sect Master Zhu suppressed his distracting thoughts and said to Wei Tu in a solemn tone: "Palace Master Wei, the death of Lu Qiu Yeming has something to do with you. Now that you have taken Lu Qiu Qingfeng as your concubine... you must handle this matter well. thing…"
“Otherwise, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life.”
Under normal circumstances, he would not interfere too much in the family affairs of his subordinates, but Wei Tu was different. He was an extremely rare "Fu Dao Master" in the Jishan Sect and even in the Guixuhai Immortal Cultivation World.
Of course he didn't want to. Because of this trivial matter, Wei Tu fell into the trap of Lu Qiu Qingfeng.
“Wei knows it.”
Wei Tu nodded, indicating that he understood.
If Lu Qiu Qingfeng couldn't understand this matter clearly, he would definitely be regarded as the "enemy who killed his father". After all, he was the one who caused this tragedy step by step, causing the father and daughter of Lu Qiu Qingfeng and Lu Qiu Yeming to be separated forever. Without him, Luqiu Yeming would not have died.
“If necessary, Luqiu Qingfeng can be executed!”
Zhu Zongzhu saw Wei Tu's understanding. After pondering for a while, he gave Wei Tu the privilege of "killing" Lu Qiu Qingfeng.
…
Wei Tu is naturally not an indecisive person.
But, he was hesitating whether to tell Lu Qiu Qingfeng about this.
After all, Lu Qiu Qingfeng is currently being "confined" by him protectively, and has no channel to receive external information.
This time, if Sect Leader Zhu hadn't told him, he would have had no idea that such a tragic thing had happened to the Luqiu clan.
The same thing applies to Luqiu Qingfeng. It is impossible for this woman to bypass him and know about this matter.
So, as long as he conceals it properly, it is impossible for this woman to know the slightest bit of information about this matter before he attains the state of divine transformation.
Luqiu Qingfeng Yuanyin…
Chongyan Secret Land…
These two are the key to his breakthrough into the realm of gods in one hundred and fifty years, and there is no room for failure!
From a rational point of view, he must conceal the death of Luqiu Yeming.
Because Luqiu Qingfeng's attitude is unpredictable.
In case the female actor is unclear, he remembers him, then his 150 -year -old plan will fail, and he will fail because of this and delay for decades.
If Luqiu Qingfeng was a stranger, like the Demon King of Tuoshan back then, he would have no psychological burden at all when he deceived her. But the key to the problem is that this woman is not.
Although he didn't have much affection for this woman, he could see that she trusted him from the bottom of her heart.
Otherwise, this woman would not have voluntarily confessed her crime in front of Dugutian, followed him to the Jishan Sect, and been imprisoned in the prison of the Law Enforcement Hall.
But-
The consequences of becoming a **** late are too heavy.
The only son was imprisoned until death, which he did not want to see.
“Let’s talk first.”
After thinking for a long time, Wei Tu sighed and made a decision.
At the beginning, the main reason why he let Wei Changshou stay in the Ying Ding tribe instead of taking him away was because he wanted him to assume the responsibility of being the "Youxian King".
Wei Xiuwen accompanied Wei Changshou to stay in the Yingding Department, and he also assumed the responsibility of being a biological father.
Now, if he breaks his promise and conceals the death of his father, Lu Qiu Yeming, from Lu Qiu Qingfeng in order to rescue his only son Wei Xiuwen in advance...then, in turn, it will be a stain on Wei Xiuwen's willingness to die in order to protect his heir.
If Wei Xiuwen were here, there is a high probability that he would not agree. He would abandon his "friends" for the sake of temporary gain.
After thinking about this, Wei Tu couldn't help but shook his head.
At this moment, he began to hope that Lu Qiu Qingfeng's previous "cold-heartedness" was no longer just an act.
—He has the cruelty to kill his sister, but also has the coldness to sit back and watch his father being killed without feeling any hatred.
…
After leaving the main hall, Wei Tu first returned to the Gongde Hall, ordered the spiritual chef to cook a table of spiritual meals, and took out two bottles of Seven Immortals Wine from Feng Han's previous private collection.
After making these preparations, he fled to the Tie Shou Peak where Lu Qiu Qingfeng was imprisoned.
"Have you figured it out today, Fellow Daoist Wei? Are you planning to have a good relationship with me today and take the red pill from me?"
Seeing Wei Tu taking out plates of delicious food from the food box, Luqiu Qingfeng raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that something was unusual, so she smiled softly and asked tentatively.
As a member of the royal family, although she already knew a lot about the affairs between men and women, and had once said in front of Wei Tu that "I would like to have a good time with Wei Tuyan," she still couldn't do it for real. Not experienced, not very prepared.
Hearing this, Wei Tu shook his head.
Then, he looked directly at Luqiu Qingfeng, who was slightly dizzy in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Wei came here this time because he has something important to tell the princess."
At this point, he did not show off. After a short pause, he directly told the story about Luqiu Yeming being executed by the decree of Lord Tong.
The voice fell.
Wei Tu clearly felt it. Lu Qiu Qingfeng's body stiffened and her face became slightly ugly.
But all this is fleeting.
Then, the woman said the word "oh" softly, as if she didn't care at all.
This scene greatly exceeded Wei Tu's expectations.
He originally thought that Luqiu Qingfeng was either cold-hearted and acted indifferent and pretended to cry, or she acted care and was really sad about the death of her biological father.
But he never thought that this woman cared first, and then showed that she didn't care much.
“The king of the country was killed by Lord Tong. Doesn’t the princess want to avenge her father?” Wei Tu tried.
“How to avenge your father?”
"Now, fellow Taoist Wei has imprisoned me here, preparing to humiliate me in the future."
Luqiu Qingfeng said with a smile, looking completely unconcerned.
At this point, it is difficult for Wei Tu to pick up the conversation again.
He frowned slightly and pointed it out directly, "Don't you, the princess, hate Wei for this? Do you hate Wei for asking you to surrender to the Jishan sect, thus provoking Lord Tong and issuing an edict to kill your father?"
While speaking, Wei Tu stared at Luqiu Qingfeng from the corner of his eye, trying to detect any clues on his face.
As he said these words.
The smile on Luqiu Qingfeng's face quickly faded away. It was no longer as bright as before and became a little gloomy.
“Friend Wei Dao, do you think I am the kind of stupid woman who takes offense at others?”
At this time, Luqiu Qingfeng said with an ugly expression.
Wei Tu was startled, then shook his head.
Luqiu Qingfeng was selected by the Luqiu clan as the future head of the country. Although he had his support during this period, this woman was not someone who could not be supported by Adou. Her abilities and personality were definitely beyond ordinary people.
This woman is definitely not a stupid woman.
However, the so-called expressing anger has nothing to do with whether one is wise or not. It's just an amplification of anger.
So, Lu Qiu Qingfeng's words were not enough to dispel Wei Tu's doubts.
Wei Tu was still looking at Luqiu Qingfeng, waiting for the woman's next words.
Seeing that Wei Tu didn't believe it, Lu Qiu Qingfeng became a little helpless. She lost her previous enthusiasm and smiled bitterly:
“Fellow Wei Dao, do you think we and the royal family have any kind of father-daughter relationship? In this marriage, do you think my father and grandfather don’t know...the danger involved? The danger of being targeted by the Jishan sect?”
She chose to acquiesce to the marriage with Dugutian before Wei Tu arrived, and even agreed.
But this kind of agreement is not really agreement.
She has no right to refuse.
It wasn’t until Wei Tu appeared that she saw another possibility.
When she first chose Wei Tu, she didn’t think that Wei Tu’s future would be better than Dugu Tian’s, but that compared to the unfamiliar Dugu Tian, Wei Tu was credible.
“Getting married is the duty of a princess, but being indifferent to the death of her biological father is also her right!”
Luqiu Qingfeng's eyes were slightly cold and she spoke her heart.
Hearing this, Wei Tu completely understood what Lu Qiu Qingfeng was thinking. This woman was indifferent to Lu Qiu Yeming's death, not because she was cold-hearted, but because she had no family affection at all.
It is completely absurd to involve the relationship between father and daughter in the royal family and the world of immortality.
The father-daughter relationship between Luqiu Qingfeng and Luqiu Yeming is estimated to be similar to that between him and the Wei clan members several generations later. From beginning to end, there is not much.
However, when he thought about it, this woman had probably longed for these father-daughter relationships, but due to Lu Qiu Yeming's repeated disregard... she turned from love to hatred.
"If not, how could this woman be afraid of Luqiu Jinyuan?" Wei Tu thought secretly.
Before and after Luqiu Qingfeng became powerful, both Luqiu Yeming and the Luqiu Renwang valued Luqiu Qingfeng to a certain extent.
But valuing is different from feeling.
Compared with the latter, the former comes with certain expectations and is more like investing for profit.
Having regard but no emotion…
Now, what Luqiu Yeming gets is that his daughter Luqiu Qingfeng doesn't care about his death.
“Wei understands.”
“Yes...I am too suspicious.”
After sorting out his thoughts, Wei Tu apologized to Luqiu Qingfeng.
"Apologize?"
Seeing this scene, Luqiu Qingfeng, who was dissatisfied because she was suspected by Wei Tu, was stunned.
She couldn't imagine that Wei Tu, a "higher person", was willing to apologize to her, a "lower person"?
Previously, when the two of them had equal status, it was normal for Wei Tu to apologize to her, but now, she is just a "prisoner" of Wei Tu.
She didn't know that there were very few casual cultivators like Wei Tu who had reached such a status, not to mention that Wei Tu still had some Blue Star ideas.
In terms of status, he will enjoy being the de facto "superior", but in terms of thought, he will not think that the "lower" should be a humble person.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist Wei.”
Luqiu Qingfeng's eyes were soft, she raised her head and glanced at Wei Tu briefly, and said in a voice like a mosquito.
If we say that before, in front of Dugu Tian, she was willing to "apologize" to the Jishan sect because she was forced to do so, and she also had her eye on Wei Tu's future.
But afterwards, in front of the king of Luqiu people, he decided to follow Wei Tu’s footsteps and join the Jishan sect, that is… he had certain emotional expectations for Wei Tu.
Fortunately, she made the right choice.
Even though she was at a disadvantage, Wei Tu did not bully her.
"Oppression?" Thinking of this, Luqiu Qingfeng's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she thought of the secret play diagram in the Shuangxiu classics.
But Wei Tu didn’t think so much.
After testing Luqiu Qingfeng, he was sure that this woman would not be confused, and after she blamed Luqiu Yeming's death on him, he was truly relieved.
“Drink wine and eat vegetables.”
Wei Tu pushed the spiritual meal in the food box in front of Luqiu Qingfeng.
“Hmm!” Luqiu Qingfeng nodded slightly, but did not refuse. She picked up the jade chopsticks and started eating.
Neither of them noticed it.
After this openness and honesty, although the atmosphere between them was a bit quiet and not as talkative as before, there was a little more ambiguity between them.
Wait for two pots of Seven Immortals wine to be drunk.
Luqiu Qingfeng was already lying in Wei Tu's arms with a hot complexion. Their lips and teeth were touching, and their ears and temples were rubbing together.
