Chapter 262: Marriage Alliance

Li Youyi decided to ask Zuoqiu Hongting for the Longevity Pill and the thousand-year essence medicine, and by the way, have a showdown with her to avoid the old fogies of the Zuoqiu Gate from really misunderstanding and causing unnecessary trouble.

It really shouldn't be used to play with fire in matters of emotion.

Arriving at Zuoqiu Hongting's cultivation cave, he knocked on the stone door, but there was no response.

Li Youyi was about to leave when he saw several figures walking this way.

A total of five people.

Zuoqiu Hongting, transformed into Li Youyi's appearance, and Jiang Ning walked at the front.

Zhuang Yue followed beside Jiang Ning.

Behind the three were two middle-aged men who looked exactly the same, with heavy yin energy, wearing green official robes, tall and thin, with inner light gathered in their eyes.

The two field forces released from their bodies wrapped the five people, forming purple-blue mist.

From afar, they heard Zuoqiu Ting using Li Youyi's tone to laugh: "Lord Jiang, you don't know, Shi Shishi, Qi Xiao, and I, after learning the news, immediately went to the Changqing Temple to catch them in the act, but we returned empty-handed."

"In the Taoist temple, neither of them was there, only a bed."

"It really was a huge bed!"

Li Youyi coughed twice, looking at Zuoqiu Ting, who had already walked within a few feet and was still sowing discord with Jiang Ning. He had originally decided to let her go, but suddenly changed his mind.

"Brother Zuoqiu, it's not very good to speak ill of people behind their backs, is it?"

Zuoqiu Ting acted as if she had just discovered Li Youyi's appearance and laughed: "Brother Youyi, we were just saying we were going to find you. Just now, Fairy Yu asked about you, and talking about it, we chatted about the Changqing Temple. I didn't talk nonsense; do you dare say there wasn't the scent of you and Yang Qingxi on that bed in the Changqing Temple?"

Jiang Ning wore a half-hidden veil, a pink and white dress, with a shawl wrapped around her arms, a dangling hairpin in her hair, and a phoenix flower mark on her forehead, looking like a fairy consort, soft and moving, completely without her usual heroic and proud demeanor.

Zhuang Yue glared coldly at Li Youyi.

Li Youyi never expected Zuoqiu Ting to be so treacherous, telling Jiang Ning everything, so he used a mutually destructive tactic: "In the Qin Garden, didn't we also stay on the same bed? What does that prove?"

"There was such a thing?"

Jiang Ning looked at Zuoqiu Ting.

Zuoqiu Ting pretended to be calm and smiled: "Exactly, exactly, it really proves nothing! Look at my mouth, knowing the two of you have a deep friendship... I shouldn't have talked about the Changqing Temple. You two talk, I'll avoid..."

"There is nothing to avoid."

Jiang Ning's tone was light, and she looked at Li Youyi: "The one surnamed Li and I, at most, have some friendship, not as outrageous as the outside world says. The reason the seven exotic insects listen to me is just because they were subdued by me for a period of time in the Burial Immortal Town."

"Li Youyi, I am here to take the Jingyu Sword, name your price!"

Li Youyi knew that in such an occasion, he couldn't speak properly, so he said coldly: "Three thousand-year essence medicines."

"Give it to him." Jiang Ning said.

She was actually prepared.

One of the two eunuchs following behind took out a long jade box, walked over with great presence, and pressed it into Li Youyi's hand: "This two-thousand-year-old Seven-Star Silver Fire Begonia is more than enough to cover three thousand-year essence medicines."

Li Youyi took the Jingyu Sword from his boundary bag and, also very impolitely, pressed it back into the eunuch's hand.

His Dao Seed realm intent field pressed over, but it had no effect. The eunuch grabbed the Jingyu Sword firmly and sneered in a sharp voice: "As expected of the Hidden Dragon of the current age, you do have some skills."

After Jiang Ning took back the Jingyu Sword: "Although you saved me on the night of the Lantern Festival, the moment you shouted the rebel slogan, we became irreconcilable. The one surnamed Li, take care of yourself, let's go!"

Li Youyi replied to the backs of the four in a normal tone: "Fairy Yu is too self-indulgent! That night, when the cult's black-armored iron cavalry charged, the one I wanted to save was Miss Qingxi, not you."

On the way down the mountain, Jiang Ning, who was walking at the front, knew that Li Youyi was deliberately saying it for the two eunuchs and the Zuoqiu Gate people to hear, but she was still furious, her heart aching, and her pink fists tightened in her sleeves.

Zhuang Yue had already drawn her sword, but Jiang Ning pressed it back.

After the four walked away.

"Clatter!"

Zuoqiu Ting unfolded her folding fan, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the foot of the mountain with schadenfreude: "Why do I feel that you two are strange? Jiang Ning's outfit today is rare; it couldn't be that she came to see this young master, right? I'm afraid Yang Qingxi's days in the imperial court won't be easy!"

Li Youyi said unhappily: "Why did you transform into my appearance?"

"I heard that Jiang Ning came to Taoli Mountain and specifically asked to see you. Seeing that you didn't seem to have time, I went for you! Honestly, Fairy Yu's appearance is indeed stunning, and today's dress and makeup were particularly amazing."

Zuoqiu Ting observed Li Youyi's eyes.

"Enter the cave first, I have something to talk to you about. Serious business!" Li Youyi said.

Zuoqiu Ting saw Li Youyi's eyes were restrained and couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She opened the cave's stone door array and led him inside.

Walking into the stone door, Li Youyi closed it.

He activated the array.

"Whoosh!"

Zuoqiu Ting lit the magic weapon bone lamp, her eyes stern: "What are you doing?"

"It's better to activate the array, so as not to be eavesdropped on by the old fogies of your Zuoqiu Gate again." Then Li Youyi told her what the Hidden Lord had said earlier and poured out his grievances.

He sighed: "It's shameful! I am unmarried, she is unmarried, is there anything wrong with liking someone?"

Zuoqiu Ting's closed-door cultivation cave was quite spacious, with an outer hall, inner hall, martial arts room, tables and chairs, and a cold jade bed, all complete. Deep in the inner hall, a magic power spirit spring flowed through, making the whole cave misty and colorful.

"Li Youyi, who is in your heart, Jiang Ning or Zuoqiu Hong? Or do you have to add a Yang Qingxi?" Zuoqiu Ting sat on a stone chair and poured him a cup of spring water.

Li Youyi had never thought about this question, but since he was trying to take revenge on her, he naturally said: "Jiang Ning, Yang Qingxi, and I are all innocent, but you, you are not brotherly at all. Do you think your sister will really never marry? Let me be your brother-in-law, it's better than letting an outsider take advantage in the future, right?"

"Don't daydream!" Zuoqiu Ting rolled her eyes.

"Good, good, good, since that's the case, let's settle the accounts."

Li Youyi took out a piece of paper and threw it on the table.

Zuoqiu Ting picked it up, opened it, and confirmed repeatedly: "Do I owe you this much?"

Li Youyi held the glass cup and took a sip of spring water: "A Dao Lotus, you lost the bet, betting that I couldn't get the invitation. Ten thousand-year essence medicines, that's the money for ten catties of immortal soil."

"What about that Longevity Pill, Dragon Seed, and two Dragon Bones?" Zuoqiu Ting said.

Li Youyi said: "In that last battle, if I hadn't arrived in time, would your Zuoqiu Gate have won? The price I set is really fair, just enough for my own cultivation. The greatest credit goes to the seven little ones; I didn't even ask for Dragon Seeds and Dragon Bones for them."

Zuoqiu Ting stood up and paced in thought.

Suddenly.

She felt alert and was about to release magic power.

"Bang!"

Li Youyi had already lightly patted her back with his palm. As he moved his hand away, the Body-Fixing Talisman was stuck on it, the runes flickering and glowing, and bright light marks flowed out.

Not only did it pin her body, but it also suppressed the magic power in her body.

Li Youyi walked slowly to her front and laughed: "It seems Brother Zuoqiu really treats me as a brother who can be entrusted with his back. If you had even the slightest defense, I wouldn't have succeeded."

Zuoqiu Ting quickly calmed down from her initial panic: "So this Body-Fixing Talisman was used on me. What do you want to do?"

Her cultivation was very high, and she had the ability to speak, not being completely pinned down.

Li Youyi picked her up and laid her flat on the cold jade bed not far away.

"I will settle the accounts on the list within three days."

Zuoqiu Ting felt very insecure, her tone cold: "This is not fun, take the Body-Fixing Talisman off immediately."

"Now you know it's not fun to be pinned down? How did you play it back then?" Li Youyi said.

Zuoqiu Ting said: "Fine, it's my fault. How about this, if you really want to see my sister, I can arrange it."

Li Youyi's idea was very simple; he just wanted to force her to take the initiative to admit that she was Zuoqiu Hongting, so he squeezed her to the inside and sat on the bed. He said: "I treat you as a brother, but you stabbed your brother twice in the back."

Li Youyi imitated her previous tone: "Shi Shishi, Qi Xiao, and I, after learning the news, immediately went to the Changqing Temple to catch them in the act... It really was a huge bed!"

"Is it really okay for you to ruin my reputation like this? Answer me?"

Zuoqiu Ting quickly said: "Brother Youyi cares so much about his reputation with Jiang Ning, and still says there's no ghost in his heart?"

Li Youyi fell into deep thought.

Had he not asked himself this question?

His care for Jiang Ning indeed exceeded the level of an ordinary friend.

When he saw the Jingyu Sword in Qi Jin's hand, he was really a bit panicked, and then felt unprecedented anger and worry.

After a long while, Li Youyi sighed: "That is Fairy Yu, known as the number one beauty of the younger generation. If I said I had no feelings for her at all, wouldn't you think it's hypocritical?"

Zuoqiu Ting snorted softly.

Li Youyi looked at her: "What are you snorting at, do you have no feelings for her at all? Are you a man?"

Zuoqiu Ting said: "I'm snorting at someone who shouts that they like my sister, but flirts with Fairy Yu. Li Youyi, you don't understand Jiang Ning at all; she is extremely deep, I have known her for a long time, but I have never been able to see through her."

"Look, what's wrong with this bad habit of yours, why do you always like to speak ill of people behind their backs?" Li Youyi said.

Zuoqiu Ting said: "Believe it or not! Hurry up and untie the Body-Fixing Talisman for me, and whatever other conditions you have, I will agree to all of them. You don't think I really can't break the Body-Fixing Talisman, do you? I just didn't want to hurt you!"

Li Youyi ignored her and lay down: "Let's sleep together tonight, I still have many things to talk to you about. When you sleep, do you take off your clothes?"

"I'm not sleeping, I still have to heal and cultivate."

Zuoqiu Ting's heart rate accelerated significantly, her speech speed also became faster, her eyes were full of worry, and she secretly thought about whether to tell Li Youyi the truth.

"No rush for one night, let me help you take off your outer garment!"

Li Youyi began to untie her clothes.

Zuoqiu Ting took a deep breath, her whole body tense, her heart beating like a drum, feeling that she could no longer hide it, and was about to speak the truth.

"Boom!"

The cave's stone door and array were shattered by a palm.

The sound of breaking wind rang out.

Led by Zuoqiu Ling, a large group of Zuoqiu Gate clan elders rushed in at the fastest speed.

Zuoqiu Ling's burly body trembled with anger, and he roared through gritted teeth: "What are you two doing? Get out, all of you get out, no one is allowed to talk about today's events, otherwise don't blame me for using family law."

Li Youyi was still holding Zuoqiu Ting's belt in his hand and was truly shocked by this sudden change, and a thought popped into his mind: "It's over!"

Looking at the battle formation of the Zuoqiu Gate's older generation of experts, Li Youyi knew that they couldn't have broken in suddenly; they were fully prepared.

Li Youyi quickly jumped off the bed, about to explain.

Zuoqiu Ling's face was gloomy, his arm waved violently, magic power light surged out, shattering the Body-Fixing Talisman on Zuoqiu Ting's back, and also dispersing her disguise technique, revealing her cold, jade-like, stunning true appearance.

Zuoqiu Ling scolded coldly, every word dripping with blood: "The dignified First Successor of the Zuoqiu Gate, the future Hidden Dragon, if today's events spread, it will ruin not only your reputation but also the family upbringing of the entire Zuoqiu Gate. The Dudu Temple side may also have variables because of this. You two get yourselves tidied up, I'll wait for you in the Council Hall."

Not giving Li Youyi a chance to play dumb, Zuoqiu Ling glared at him and turned to leave.

Li Youyi and Zuoqiu Hongting arrived at the Council Hall, and the Hidden Lord was already sitting inside.

Zuoqiu Ling's face was still livid: "The influence is too bad, the consequences are too serious, the Dudu Temple takes the character of the Hidden Dragon very seriously. Too many people saw it today, it can't be hidden, and now there is only that one way!"

He looked at the Hidden Lord.

The Hidden Lord stood up and said: "I'll talk to him alone."

After the two were alone, Li Youyi spoke first: "Only marriage alliance, right?"

The Hidden Lord nodded and sighed: "For them, no matter who the Dudu Temple chooses as the Hidden Dragon, the Hidden Dragon must be a person of the Zuoqiu Gate. Even without today's events, your engagement to Zuoqiu Hongting would definitely have been something they discussed repeatedly. It's just that you happened to give them a chance to make trouble!"
