Chapter 483: Wu De
This day.
Yuan An walked into Li Rui's room.
"Master, this is a letter sent by Senior Brother."
Ever since Li Rui returned from Jiangzhou, he had called Liu Tiezhu to Longquan Town to accompany Tie Kuang.
For his own disciple, of course, he had to be more attentive.
The reason he accepted Liu Tiezhu was because he valued his character, but he couldn't just force his own skills down because he accepted him as a disciple, causing his blacksmithing skills to go to waste.
Continuing to keep Liu Tiezhu by his side would only waste his talent.
Going to Longquan Town was the best choice.
Just like when he sent Wang Zhao to the Witch Kingdom in Qinghe before, Liu Tiezhu was also full of reluctance, but in the end, he was driven away by Li Rui with a straight face.
A disciple who is not filial is a headache, but sometimes being too attached to home is also a worrying matter.
Now in the mansion by the Jishui Pool.
Most of the time, it was just Yuan An and Li Rui.
"Good."
Li Rui didn't even take the letter from Yuan An's hand, saying: "Xiaohu, tell me, what is written in the letter."
Yuan An only then grinned and opened the letter:
"Master, Senior Brother said in the letter that the people sent by Zhu Gan mainly went to the Anning Guard and the Zhu family; according to Master's request, our people mainly monitored them, and they did not discover us."
Li Rui nodded: "You did very well."
Ever since he learned from the Fourth Prince, Zhu Ting, that Zhu Gan had sent people to investigate him that day.
He also wrote a letter to Liang He.
There was no need to intercept and kill Zhu Gan's subordinates, but he needed to know what Zhu Gan actually wanted to know.
Li Rui had operated in Yunzhou for so many years, of course, it wasn't for nothing.
Apart from the Tiandi Alliance and the Chunfeng Hall on the surface.
The intelligence network hidden underground was the most important.
To put it bluntly, in Yunzhou, the speed at which Li Rui knew news might be faster than the Marquis's mansion.
It wasn't that the foundation of the Tiandi Alliance and the Chunfeng Hall was deeper than the Marquis's mansion, but that they were good at using those seemingly ordinary figures; a little beggar on the roadside might be an eye of the Tiandi Alliance.
This was the strength of the Tiandi Alliance, which came from the mud-legged, compared to those high-and-mighty sects.
That was why he could manage to track Zhu Gan's subordinates in return.
At this moment.
Yuan An added: "What's strange is that those people seem extremely interested in Master's experience as a secret guard, and even tried every means to meet with the head of the Zhu family, just to investigate Master's situation in the Zhu family."
Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yuan An put down the letter in his hand and asked curiously: "Master, what should we do next?"
"My father has some friends in the capital; perhaps I can ask some elders to help speak a word."
Others are fine.
But Zhu Gan is a prince, so all that can be done is to resolve it.
One can't just kill a prince, right?
Li Rui shook his head: "Not for now, continue to have people monitor them; by the way, your Fourth Senior Brother is coming to the capital in a few days, so you go help out then."
"Good, Master."
Yuan An smiled when he heard that Fourth Senior Brother Liu Tong was coming.
He was someone who liked excitement.
And he met this Fourth Senior Brother the least.
Yuan An left.
Li Rui then began to practice again.
He practiced until late at night, then crawled into the quilt to sleep.
At his level, sleeping or not makes no difference; it was mainly to go to the Grand Void Dojo.
When he opened his eyes again.
He found that he had already arrived before the Bai Yu Steps.
Only this time, he did not ascend the Bai Yu Steps as usual to go to the mansion of the Wanshou Dao Lord.
Because there was a slightly chubby figure on the Bai Yu Steps.
Wu De.
He saw that Wu De had already climbed to a very high part of the Bai Yu Steps, much higher than before.
Clearly.
During the time he hadn't seen Li Rui, Wu De's cultivation had also greatly improved.
Looking at Wu De, who was trembling and swaying on the Bai Yu Steps, Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.
Calculating it.
The two hadn't seen each other for many years.
His thought moved.
An invisible shockwave shot towards Wu De.
Following an "ouch."
Wu De only felt pain in his buttocks, unable to stand steady anymore, his whole body rolling down like a roller.
Not long after, he arrived at Li Rui's feet.
Wu De was in such a sorry state.
It took a good while before he stood up, then looked at Li Rui with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, we meet again."
Clearly, as early as when he was on the Bai Yu Steps, he had already discovered Li Rui, but he hadn't greeted Li Rui at the time.
As for being knocked down the steps by Li Rui.
He wasn't annoyed at all; after all, he had done it twice before.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, long time no see."
Li Rui performed a Daoist greeting.
Before he could continue speaking.
Wu De spoke: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, the thing I promised you before, I can't do it."
"Oh?"
Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.
What Wu De was talking about was, of course, the method to conceal one's aura.
At that time, Li Rui's formation hadn't been fully mastered, so he asked Wu De to find a concealment method from the upper realm, and in return, he would help Wu De descend to the lower realm.
Descending to the lower realm was naturally a lie to Wu De.
He, someone who had never been to the Immortal Cultivation World, how could he descend to the lower realm.
Wu De sighed: "The concealment method is too precious; I tried every way but was powerless, so let's just consider that I didn't have that fortune to descend to the lower realm."
But just as he finished speaking.
Suddenly his eyes became terrified.
Because Li Rui actually waved his hand casually, and thick spiritual energy wove into a magic net, binding him.
Throughout the process, Wu De had almost no power to fight back.
He heard Li Rui say coldly: "Does Fellow Daoist take me for a three-year-old child?"
Seeing Li Rui, who was full of killing intent, Wu De couldn't help but shiver.
His heart was even more shocked.
'Is this the foundation of a great family?'
When he first saw Li Rui, the other party's strength was definitely not as good as his.
Meeting again, he already needed to be wary.
Meeting again now, the other party could actually suppress him with a lift of his hand.
'What kind of freak is this?!'
At this moment, Wu De was suffering in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about whether to waste this opportunity to enter the Grand Void Dojo and leave directly.
Li Rui's cold words rang in his ears: "I hate being deceived the most; Fellow Daoist can rest assured, from now on, as long as I, Zhu, meet you once, I will make it so you can never enter the Grand Void Dojo again."
Wu De's heart was even more bitter.
This Grand Void Dojo was a fortune he had obtained after going through all kinds of hardships.
The number of times he could enter was already pitifully few.
If he were kicked out by this Fellow Daoist Zhu, then the possibility of him obtaining the Immortal Lord's inheritance would be almost equivalent to being wiped out.
Wu De's eyes flickered.
After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, don't blame me; I got to know an elder who has already promised to bring me to the lower realm, so I won't trouble you, and with your ability, wouldn't it be easier for you to find that method yourself?"
Upon hearing this.
Li Rui narrowed his eyes.
His thought moved.
The shackles around Wu De were undone, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Another "ouch."
Li Rui then said with a smile: "If Fellow Daoist Wu had said so earlier, we wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings, right?"
Wu De rolled his eyes.
How could he not see.
This Zhu clearly had broken through and deliberately seized this opportunity to establish his authority.
He had always been open-minded about this matter.
He was actually the same.
We immortal cultivators can only be fellow Daoists if we have equal combat power.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wu for descending to the lower realm."
Li Rui congratulated him.
Wu De curled his lips in his heart, but his face had more smiles.
After all, he didn't want to be expelled from the Grand Void Dojo by Li Rui every time.
Come to think of it, he didn't know if it was fate playing tricks, but the number of times he saw Li Rui in the Grand Void Dojo was as high as eighty percent; he really didn't dare to gamble.
"With Fellow Daoist Zhu's family background, you can naturally go if you want to."
Wu De thought about mending the relationship between the two, so he said a few more words: "Fellow Daoist Zhu doesn't know, that Golden Court Small Cave Heaven hides many fortunes; several great cultivators have already planned to join hands to open the Cave Heaven Gate, and there will be more spots."
Li Rui was even more surprised in his heart.
This was a major event.
Today, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has almost completely recovered, and the number of immortal cultivators is unknown how many times more than before.
If people from the Immortal Cultivation World come again, it's unknown what kind of chaos it will cause.
Wu De continued to speak to himself: "You don't know how fierce that Golden Court Small Cave Heaven is; I heard that even great cultivators in the Dao Body Realm might not necessarily be able to get any advantage if they go."
Afterwards.
Wu De seemed to be mending the relationship, and said a lot more.
He waited until the time to enter the Grand Void Dojo arrived, and then he dissipated.
Looking at the empty Bai Yu Steps.
Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.
An unexpected joy.
Before, Wu De had always been wary of him, and even when he spoke to him, he only spoke about common sense in the Immortal Cultivation World.
It was extremely useful to Li Rui at first.
But as his strength grew.
It gradually became useless.
Until today, Li Rui showed his strength, suppressing people with power, and Wu De had to submit, only then did he reveal more news he wanted to know.
"Golden Court Small Cave Heaven"
Li Rui narrowed his eyes.
Immediately, he thought that since Wu De was going to descend to the lower realm, there might be a chance for both sides to meet in the future.
The arc of his mouth grew wider.
