Chapter 130: Private Discussion
Lu Ziying's expression was uncertain for a while before she said faintly: "I know that Lu Zhengqin and Lu Chengwei's attitudes along the way have been a bit wrong, but we are ultimately one team. When facing danger, we must put personal grievances aside and unite as one. Therefore, I don't want to see a repeat of what happened just now."
"Yes, Miss!" Xia Daoming bowed respectfully and said.
He fully agreed with what Lu Ziying said.
In fact, if it were just some verbal mockery and wrong attitudes, Xia Daoming really wouldn't have stood by and watched them die.
The most critical point was that Lu Chengwei and Lu Zhengqin actually mocked Lu Ye for stepping forward for justice, which was truly hateful. Moreover, Lu Ye had privately told Xia Daoming along the way that these two had done many harmful things, telling Xia Daoming to be careful of them.
Since that was the case, letting one of them die at the hands of the golden-eyed black eagle could be considered eliminating a harm for the people!
Lu Ziying stared at Xia Daoming sharply for a while, as if wanting to see through whether his respectful attitude was real or just fooling her.
However, she couldn't see any hypocrisy, so her gaze softened. She nodded at Xia Daoming, then turned to Lu Zhengqin, her gaze becoming cold and stern.
"Lu Zhengqin, the same goes for you. If you abandon your clansmen when danger comes, I will definitely punish you severely!"
"Yes, Miss!" Lu Zhengqin bowed hurriedly.
"Let's continue, try to reach Jin Guifeng before dark." Lu Ziying withdrew her gaze and waved her hand.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Lu Zhengqin raised his head, and his gaze looking back at Xia Daoming carried a trace of vicious hatred.
Xia Daoming grinned at him, his teeth white and neat.
But in Lu Zhengqin's eyes, they seemed white and bone-chilling, making his back feel a chill.
Suddenly, a trace of regret arose in Lu Zhengqin's heart, followed by intense killing intent.
Being young and knowing how to hide his light, having such city and scheming, and also having eighth-rank cultivation—if he were really allowed to grow up, would he, Lu Zhengqin, still have a way to live?
"Daoming, you good fellow, you're actually already an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi. You've been fooling me around. If I had known you were this awesome, I wouldn't have been worrying for you in vain, and there would have been no need to swallow your pride along the way!" Lu Ye was heartless, and seeing Xia Daoming was this powerful, he happily punched him in the chest.
"Hehe, Xu Shixiong, Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong won't dare next time! Also, I originally wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan to try my luck. It's rare that Xu Shixiong is also going to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan, so it's just right to look after me a little, so I had the cheek to ask Xu Shixiong to take me along." Xia Daoming said.
"Haha, no problem, as a Xu Shixiong, I naturally have to look after my Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong." Lu Ye patted his thick chest and said.
"Alright, stop bragging! Don't even look at what Daoming's cultivation is, it's not your turn to look after him!" Lu Huiyun glared at Lu Ye angrily.
"Cough, cough. Even if he is an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, he is still young. I am at least older and have a wide range of knowledge, so I can always look after him a little, right Daoming?" Lu Ye said.
"Of course, of course!" Xia Daoming said hurriedly.
"Of course what? With your Xu Shixiong's straightforward manner without any scheming, he'd be cheated and still think the other party is good!" Lu Huiyun said.
"Sister-in-law, you can't say it like that. If Xu Shixiong weren't such a person, how could he have fallen into Sister-in-law's discerning eyes back then, and been willing to drink and chat with him? If there hadn't been that drinking and chatting, how could he have married such a good wife as you!" Xia Daoming said, his gaze looking at Lu Huiyun with deep meaning.
Lu Huiyun met Xia Daoming's gaze, and her heart jumped.
This guy couldn't be this shrewd, could he? Could he have guessed what happened back then?
"That's right, that's right." Lu Ye nodded hurriedly.
Lu Huiyun looked at Lu Ye, speechless.
This guy really can't compare to his Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong, but such a man is reliable. As for someone like Daoming, heaven knows how unfaithful he would be!
Lu Huiyun muttered in her heart, but changed the subject, asking: "Daoming, you are young and already an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi. Going to the Ten Thousand Spiral Mountain with us this time should be aimed at the Grandmaster realm, right?"
"Huiyun, you are truly smart, why didn't I think of that! The Dragon Snake Art of the Hidden Dragon Martial Hall only goes up to the Great Wu Shi realm and has no follow-up cultivation secret maps. Even if Daoming's martial arts talent is high, it's hard to break through to the Grandmaster realm!
Grandmaster secret maps are extremely precious and very difficult to find for us, but for immortal cultivators, it should be much easier. Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan is exactly the gathering place for immortal cultivators." Lu Ye patted his forehead and realized.
Lu Huiyun looked at Lu Ye after hearing this.
If you were this smart, you wouldn't have been tricked by me into losing your virginity and marrying into the Lu family back then.
Xia Daoming smiled and casually flattered them: "Sister-in-law and Xu Shixiong are truly smart."
As for what they were smart about, Xia Daoming didn't continue, but looked at Lu Ziying, who had turned around and was walking over alone.
"This, Miss, just now..." Seeing Lu Ziying walking over alone, the Lu Ye couple suddenly became a bit nervous.
"I have some words to chat with Xia Daoming alone." Lu Ziying waved her hand to interrupt the two and looked at Xia Daoming.
"Yes!" The Lu Ye couple was slightly stunned, then retreated to the back, keeping a slight distance from Xia Daoming and Lu Ziying.
"Does Miss have anything to instruct?" Xia Daoming asked in a standard manner.
"You are young and already an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, and looking at how you scared away the golden-eyed black eagle with one blow just now, it's clear that your qi, blood, and strength have reached the eighth-rank peak.
People like you are already considered quite powerful in the secular world. Wealth and honor are easily obtained. To be so aggrieved as to be a guard and follower, it must be aimed at the Grandmaster secret map.
However, Grandmaster secret maps are relatively rare even in the immortal cultivation world. It's not that you can have one just because you want it; you definitely have to pay a considerable price.
In fact, people like you are not uncommon in Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan. Some martial arts Grandmasters, in order to make further progress in martial arts, or to seek an immortal fate for their descendants, or for other purposes, will also come to Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan to work for immortal cultivation families or sects.
Since you have followed Lu Ye and the others to me, and have such strength, as long as you are loyal to me and do things well, helping me strive for more cultivation resources in the family, I will definitely not treat you unfairly, and I will definitely find a way to help you get a Grandmaster secret map." Lu Ziying said.
Xia Daoming raised his eyes to look at this tall and burly fairy in front of him, and couldn't help but look at her with new eyes.
This woman is not simple!
"Since Miss treats my Xu Shixiong and Sister-in-law's family and me sincerely, I will naturally do things well and try my best to help Miss strive for more cultivation resources." Xia Daoming said with a serious face, avoiding the word 'loyal'.
How can these two words be said casually!
Lu Ziying didn't suspect anything. Seeing Xia Daoming specifically mention that she treated Lu Ye's family sincerely, a look of gratification appeared on her face. She nodded at him and said: "Good, then I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Having said that, Lu Ziying returned to the main force in front, beside the elderly eighth-rank Great Wu Shi.
In the following journey, they encountered some dangers.
However, they couldn't compare to the danger brought by the golden-eyed black eagle and were all resolved relatively easily by everyone.
Along the way, they also encountered some immortal cultivators.
Most of these immortal cultivators, like Lu Ziying, were walking on the ground, and often had several Great Wu Shi followers beside them.
There were also a very small number who flew past at low altitude riding flying magic treasures or mounts like flying birds, making everyone show yearning and awe.
"Xia Shidi Uncle, if I can fly in the sky like these immortals when I grow up, that would be great!" Lu Yunjin looked up at Xia Daoming and said.
Ever since Xia Daoming held the little guy and slashed away the golden-eyed black eagle with one stroke, the little guy had pestered him and was now riding the same horse as him.
"As long as Jin Er cultivates hard, you will definitely be able to in the future." Xia Daoming smiled, touched the little guy's head, and laughed.
Lu Yunjin was very likable, with white teeth and red lips,
delicate features, and his whole body looked like it was carved from powder and jade, just like the legendary golden boy.
If Xia Daoming didn't know that Lu Ye was handsome and dashing when he was young, he would really suspect if he had been cheated on.
"Sister Ziying said, this also depends on whether I have immortal roots and talent. If I go to Jin Guifeng and can't sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a year and guide the energy into my body, I can only practice martial arts like you!" Lu Yunjin said.
Xia Daoming suddenly wanted to shave this child a little after hearing this.
At such a young age, he actually dared to look down on us martial artists!
"You child, don't be ambitious! Most people don't have immortal cultivation roots. If you can't cultivate immortality, and can be as powerful as your Xia Shidi Uncle Daoming in martial arts in the future, your father will be satisfied!" Lu Ye said.
Xia Daoming glanced at Lu Ye specifically after hearing this, his gaze subtle.
Like me, Xu Shixiong, you really dare to think!
——
The sun gradually fell into the western mountains.
The mist in the mountains rose, and the mountain peaks became hazy.
Xia Daoming and his party finally arrived at the Jin Guifeng valley.
Moonlight covered the ground, sparse stars were in the sky, mountain winds blew, golden osmanthus flowers fell like rain, and the fragrance was bursts, penetrating the nose with the wind.
Above the valley, halfway up the mountain, clouds and mist swirled. Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see pavilions and towers built on huge cliffs protruding out.
This scene truly made people feel like they were in a fairyland.
This scene and this view really make one feel as if they are in a fairyland.
In the valley, there were special people to receive and arrange for Lu Ziying and her party.
Soon, everyone was settled, and everyone was quite excited.
From now on, they would live in this place that looked like a fairyland.
Especially Lu Yunjin, who came to a new place, was full of curiosity about everything here, jumping and jumping, more excited and excited than anyone else.
The next day, early morning.
Lu Ziying called Xia Daoming, Lu Ye's family of three, and Lu Zhen to follow the winding mountain road and go up the mountain.
Lu Zhen was that elderly eighth-rank Great Wu Shi.
According to Lu Ye privately, this person was an orphan, adopted by Lu Ziying's grandfather since childhood, had great martial arts talent, was focused on cultivation and given the Lu surname, and was someone Lu Ziying truly trusted.
In the valley, Lu Zhengqin raised his head and watched the back of Lu Ziying and her party gradually moving away, a look of jealousy and resentment appearing in his eyes.
Come to think of it, he was a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi, and among the Lu family disciples on this trip, his strength was second only to Lu Zhen and Lu Huiyun. He originally thought he would definitely be reused by Lu Ziying.
As a result, he didn't expect that a Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong of Lu Ye would appear halfway, not only completely suppressing his arrogance, making him lose all face, but now even replacing his position.
Just as Lu Zhengqin was extremely jealous in his heart, the corner of his eye caught a young man in blue clothes bringing a Great Wu Shi into the valley.
