At ten years old, you already understand this way, mature beyond your years; you share worries for your superior and retreat safely, performing excellently!】

【Task 'Sharing Worries for the Superior' completed, reward settlement in progress】

【Task rating: A.】

【Obtained 40 achievement points!】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 10】

【Talent: Martial Bone, Superb Comprehension, Wisdom Eye, Great Dream Roaming Immortal】

【Cultivation Technique: Long-Life Art, Dragon Roaming Nine Heavens Diagram】

【Achievement: 60/100】

Li Rui looked at the reward on the panel, his mouth lifting slightly.

If he could get another 'A', he could unlock the reward.

The progress was more than halfway through in one go.

"Seems like I earned it?"

Although it was dangerous this time, it was actually all under Li Rui's control.

Really being beaten to death.

Of course, that was impossible.

Hmm... at most beaten to disability.

The Huaqing Sect's Sect Master Zhang was only in seclusion, not dead; of course, he couldn't let the Anning Guard officer die in the Huaqing Sect.

He just made it sound more serious so that Ning Zhongtian would have enough reason to claim credit.

Since they took the risk and the matter was done, they must make the matter meaningful, such as getting more rewards.

At noon the next day.

The Galloping Tiger Cavalry traveled day and night and finally returned to the Anning Guard.

As soon as they returned to the guard battalion.

Ning Zhongtian ran to find Jiang Linxian to claim credit.

This time they solved a thorny problem for Jiang Linxian and took on such a great risk; of course, they had to get a great reward.

If they couldn't even do this.

Who would work wholeheartedly in the future?

And Jiang Linxian had always been a person who rewarded and punished clearly.

Li Rui returned home.

And saw Liang He and the others surrounding Yang Yong, the four of them talking about something.

"In this Anning Guard, there are many beautiful wives of lords; General Cao's first and third wives are absolutely beautiful, Feng Yu, the seventh wife looks even more exciting than the top courtesan of the Imperial Music Bureau."

"But if you want to talk about number one..."

Li Rui had superb hearing and heard the content of their conversation from far away.

His mouth twitched.

It turns out these guys were actually rating the wives of the Anning Guard officials.

Had the style of Mengde blown into his room?

He stood at the door and heard the urging:

"Uncle Yang, don't keep us in suspense, just say it quickly."

Yang Yong let out a proud laugh: "It's the new wife of Lord He of the Ding-class Armory, absolutely beautiful!"

"Is she really that good-looking?"

Liang He was surprised.

Yang Yong nodded: "If you don't believe me, ask Tiezhu and Little Zhao..."

He glanced at the two and then rolled his eyes: "Forget it, these two are not normal."

One loves hammers, the other loves horses.

Both are better than loving women.

Not normal people.

Liang He felt regret; that day he suddenly entered a state of small enlightenment, so it was Yang Yong who took Liu Tiezhu and Wang Zhao.

He remembered that Guard He.

A person who looked cold, with a world-weary face, actually married a top-beautiful wife.

Couldn't tell he originally had a restless heart.

Just then, the four heard a light cough at the door.

Turning their heads.

"Master."

Although they didn't know if Li Rui had heard what they just said, all three felt guilty and kept their heads down without speaking.

Li Rui had no interest in exposing them, looking at Yang Yong:

"Old Yang, were He Shan's things sent?"

"Sent, only three tables were set, and one table was empty; only seven or eight people went."

"With a beautiful wife at home, He Shan must be careful in the future, in case his head turns green one day."

Li Rui didn't answer, but asked:

"Is she really absolutely beautiful?"

Yang Yong swore: "If I lie to you, Li Lao, I'll lose ten years of my life."

Liang He and the others felt even more ashamed when they heard Li Rui ask this.

Li Rui chuckled: "Since Old Yang said so, I'll go take a look another day."

Of course, he wasn't really going to take a look at He Shan's new wife; he didn't have that kind of special hobby.

It was just that he missed the wedding banquet.

Although there was indeed an urgent matter, it was necessary to visit afterwards, and by the way, take a look—not coveting, just pure curiosity.

Heaven doesn't follow people's wishes.

Li Rui carried things to visit, but didn't expect that He Shan, a newlywed, was so lovey-dovey that he had gone out of the city for a spring outing.

A kind voice couldn't help but ring in his mind:

"Spring is here, all things recover, and it's the breeding season again."

Aren't humans also animals?

Otherwise, why would those scholars keep making words with the character 'spring'?

Three days passed in a row.

This day.

In the evening.

The people in the courtyard had just finished eating, and Li Rui was dozing on the recliner.

Suddenly.

A knock sounded at the door.

Li Rui didn't make much movement, hearing the courtyard door creak open, and Liang He's surprised voice sounded:

"Lord Jiang?"

Opening his eyes.

He really saw Jiang Linxian standing at the door, with a young girl behind him, who was Jiang Yan.

Li Rui quickly climbed up:

"Boss Jiang, why are you here today? My humble dwelling is honored, honored!"

Jiang Linxian chuckled:

"Brother Li, we're all our own people, let's skip this."

Hiss!

Li Rui's smile didn't change, but he gasped in his heart.

Jiang Linxian actually called him brother. What a face!

If this were bragged about, I'm afraid Wei Ming and the others would at least have to call him godfather.

"Boss Jiang, please come in."

Jiang Linxian politely called him brother, but he couldn't be impolite and really treat his superior as a little brother.

How he should address him, he still had to address him.

While speaking, he led Jiang Linxian into the main hall for guests.

He gave Liang He a wink.

Liang He understood immediately, 'Master is going to take out the tea cake from the bottom of the box.'

He hurried to Li Rui's room and took a small piece of tea cake from a small box.

He brewed a pot of tea.

White smoke curled up, and the whole room was filled with the refreshing fragrance of tea.

=9+Book_Bar

Jiang Linxian took a sip of tea and then opened his mouth: "You helped me a lot this time; I know Ning Zhongtian doesn't have the brains to handle things so beautifully; tell me, what reward do you want."

Li Rui laughed.

'As expected.'

When he saw Jiang Yan appear in the Anning Guard from the Huaqing Sect thousands of miles away, he knew that Jiang Linxian must have come for the Jiang family matter.

Just didn't expect that Jiang Linxian would come to reward him in person.

It seems Jiang Linxian is very satisfied that Li Rui indirectly killed his cousin.

It's no wonder; anyone would choose the latter between a cousin and a million gold.

There are many cousins, but if the gold is gone, it's gone.

"Working for Boss Jiang is the subordinate's duty."

Jiang Linxian guessed that Li Rui would say this:

"I know, you must have resentment in your heart, thinking I deliberately hid it, making things difficult for you."

"An honest official finds it hard to judge family affairs; there are some things I really find inconvenient to take action on."

"My cousin, if it were just embezzling family property, that would be fine, but he actually had unclear relations with the Wei Duke's mansion..."

'So he just had to die.'

Li Rui muttered in his heart; he understood Jiang Linxian's meaning.

He also understood the whole context of the matter instantly.

No wonder Jiang Linxian insisted on killing Jiang Baichuan; wanting to worship the Buddha of the Wei Duke's mansion, one must weigh whether one is qualified; once something happens, let alone the Jiang family, the entire Huaqing Sect would collapse overnight.

"This is a private matter; since Brother Li helped handle it, I should thank you."

"Brother has broken through; this item might be helpful."

Li Rui's face stiffened.

Jiang Yan's face was the same as Li Rui's.

She saw Jiang Yan's beautiful big eyes widen instantly, looking at her father Jiang Linxian in disbelief, shaking her head repeatedly.

'I really didn't say it.'

Although she didn't speak, Li Rui understood what Jiang Yan wanted to express.

Jiang Linxian: "Little Yan didn't tell me; Fourth-Rank Innate Qi can perceive others' realms."

Fourth-Rank Innate!

Li Rui gasped.

Generally speaking, a martial general's rank is equivalent to their realm.

Jiang Linxian is an assistant regional commander; outsiders all think he is at the peak of the Fifth Rank; who would dare to think he has already stepped into the Innate realm.

"Also hid his realm."

No wonder Jiang Linxian kills anyone with one sword.

Don't look at the fact that there are three major realms above the Fourth Rank, but in fact, there are not many martial artists in the world stronger than Jiang Linxian.

The three ranks above Innate are also called the Great Three Ranks.

In the Jianghu of the Yu Kingdom, there is another saying: the three realms of Earth Immortals.

What is an Earth Immortal?

A terrestrial god!

Just one last step away from ascension, a true immortal figure.

The number of them certainly cannot be many.

Jiang Linxian smiled slightly: "Brother Li, rest assured, I won't tell others about this; when Brother wants to show it himself, I will go and ask for a garrison commander position for Brother."

Li Rui took a deep breath: "Thank you, Boss Jiang."

The strength of an Innate martial artist is immeasurable.

He had always thought he had hidden himself well enough.

Didn't expect.

In the eyes of an Innate martial artist, he had long been seen through.

Fortunately, Jiang Linxian pointed it out actively; otherwise, if discovered by other Innate martial artists, it would be troublesome.

Jiang Linxian looked at Li Rui with a smile:

"So, the Four-Armed Demon Ghost was killed by you?"

Killing the Four-Armed Demon Ghost is not like killing Gao Zhen; there is nothing to hide.

"Boss Jiang is amazing."

Jiang Linxian laughed: "Brother Li is amazing."

The bounty for the Four-Armed Demon Ghost is still hanging on the Yu Kingdom government's notice, but it had long been killed by Li Rui.

Killed well.

Jiang Linxian had always hated the Twelve Blood Disciples.

As for Li Rui hiding his cultivation, it didn't matter.

There are not a few people in the Anning Guard who hide their realms, such as Ning Zhongtian; on the surface, he is still in the Dragon Gate realm, but in fact, he has long started trying to condense the Yuan.

Hiding one's clumsiness—the more experienced one is in the Jianghu, the more one likes to do it.

An object slipped from Jiang Linxian's sleeve.

It was an exquisite small wooden box.

"Brother Li, I'm sure you will like this."

Li Rui raised an eyebrow.

Clearly, the item in the small wooden box is Jiang Linxian's reward for his trip to the Huaqing Sect this time.

"Thank you, Boss Jiang."

Li Rui put away the small wooden box without any intention of opening it.

Just accept the superior's reward.

If you open it in front of him, what?

Do you really think you have a chance to pick and choose?

Didn't expect Jiang Linxian to say: "Brother Li, open it and take a look."

Li Rui was puzzled in his heart.

He took out the small wooden box he had almost tucked into his sleeve and opened it slowly.

The moment he saw what was inside the small wooden box.

His heart stopped.

"Immortal Qi!"
