Chapter 650: Jiangque Receives Talisman
"Your child really took an hour? Haha, do you think she is the Crown Prince or An Jingming!" Hu Hu Keqing laughed dully, laughing at him for not knowing what was good for him and not recognizing the matter of cultivation in his heart, and only said: "I only ask you, how long has it been since you gave her that cultivation method until she said she had cultivated the first wisp of spiritual energy?"
Li Baotuo was stunned, pondered for a breath, and replied:
"Back to Senior, two days and one night have passed."
"Two days and one night!"
Hearing this, Li Chengchi finally straightened his waist and had a look of surprise, whispering:
"Although Mount Lijing Prefecture is the foundation of the Wang surname, the spiritual veins are ranked in the lower nine prefectures. Two days and one night is already a quite high aptitude!"
He said half of his words, and the other half was stuck in his throat. He secretly thought: "If there is enough spiritual capital, it can be rushed to the selection of people entering the continent in five years. If Li Baotuo can be brought back to the great sect... I will have several solid connections in the continent!"
Li Chengchi's head became active, and Hu Jingye's reaction was not slow either. He immediately thought of his own good son and whispered: "Oh? The talent is okay."
Hu Hu Keqing was a Qi Refining cultivator. Fortunately, his young son had good talent. If Li Shuwan could be raised to be a great sect cultivator, Hu Jingye would undoubtedly make a fortune. He held his posture and said softly: "Your daughter is very difficult to return to the continent, but her talent is not bad in the surrounding prefectures..."
His tone slowed down a lot, and he was afraid that Li Baotuo would find out that he had requests, so his face was still stiff, and he said in a deep voice:
"Chengchi is here, we are all our own people, so I won't nag. Shuwan's talent is reported, and the clan will also give corresponding resources and cultivation methods... After all, there is still a gap from returning to the continent... I can also make up for Baotuo... It just depends on whether she works hard or not."
He held his posture, and the conversion was quite natural. But Li Baotuo had also read books in the prefecture when he was a child, and he had seen a lot of things while driving boats back and forth on the river bank, and immediately realized:
"Damn, the old thing changed his face..."
He laughed and responded, his face showing the simplicity of a farmer, laughing and responding repeatedly, but gave no answer at all. Seeing him playing dumb, Hu Hu Keqing was not afraid of him and said bluntly: "My young son is just eight years old, and his talent is quite good. If Baotuo doesn't abandon him, give me some face, and set a doll marriage first. Old man has some savings, which can be used for Shuwan's cultivation. As for your family returning to the continent, it is covered by me."
He was a Qi Refining cultivator after all. The two of them were not much different from ants in front of him. Putting down his face like this, he held Li Chengchi and Li Baotuo for a while.
Li Baotuo only looked at Li Chengchi. This clan uncle gritted his teeth in embarrassment. This condition was not too bullying, and he was not easy to speak, so he hesitated to drink tea.
The clan rules were strict, and the direct line of the Li family was most afraid of the crime of 【bullying others with power】. Li Chengchi was always polite to everyone on weekdays, and his friendship with Hu Jingye was entirely based on the other party giving face. This face was as thin as paper, so it was really not easy to speak.
Li Baotuo looked at him to no avail, so he had to use a delaying tactic, whispering: "Little one knows nothing about returning to the continent... I am afraid of wasting the adult's resources, how dare I agree rashly? This child of mine is playful, I am afraid it will take..."
"What kind of words is Baotuo saying!"
Hu Jingye frowned and said softly: "Although my Hu family is not as good as the old four surnames, it has a reputation in Wutuo Prefecture. What I say I will give, I will definitely give. Don't worry."
Seeing Li Baotuo lower his head, he took a step back and said softly: "I am not pressing you either. Let's set this matter first. If there are any changes in the future, and Shuwan has other thoughts, this thing is just an engagement. It doesn't matter if it's dissolved. At least the friendship is still there, right? By then, Shuwan will be a great sect disciple, and I'm afraid she won't be able to dissolve a small marriage contract?"
'Bad!'
As soon as he said this, Li Chengchi saw that Li Baotuo was indeed moved, and his heart sank, sighing:
'It's not that simple!'
Li Chengchi himself was a great sect disciple and knew that the Clan Justice Court was strict. By then, Li Shuwan would be a great sect disciple, and it would be Li Shuwan's fault to break the marriage, which would have a great impact on the Hu family, and it would be the same for Li Shuwan's reputation, and it would even spread to Qingdu... If the few adults heard this sentence, I don't know what they would think! Li Baotuo was silent, Li Chengchi looked left and right and couldn't sit still, looked away and frowned elsewhere, signaling that he did not support it.
"Adult... my family really can't climb high!"
Li Baotuo didn't know if he understood or didn't intend to agree at all. He sighed and shook his head, finally dropping the words. Hearing this, Li Chengchi was both surprised and happy, Hu Hu Keqing's smile faded, and he didn't speak for a long time.
This face fell loudly. Hu Jingye couldn't hold his face anymore, his expression was gloomy, and he stood up suddenly, only saying: "You invited me here just to see your daughter, and now you turn around and look down on me! How can you do things like this! It's really unreasonable!"
"I, Hu Jingye, have practiced for many years between Wutuo and Mount Lijing. Who doesn't give me some face! Li Baotuo, you are so rude!"
Li Baotuo didn't expect his tongue to be so sharp, and for a while he was flustered, hurriedly stood up, and replied:
"Please invite the adult to see the little girl, but I didn't expect to set the marriage matter in one bite, adult! Although the little one is a mortal, I still have the heart of a father... I know nothing about the noble son, how can I set it rashly? As parents, I am only afraid that the child will fall into a fire pit!"
He was anxious, and he made a slip of the tongue. Hu Jingye was furious and shouted:
"Is the boy satirizing my Hu family's family education!"
He was a Qi Refining cultivator after all. He was angry in his heart. This shout was like a thunder, which immediately caused the beams to leak sand, smashing onto everyone's heads, and for a while, it rustled. Li Baotuo's sons were all angry but didn't dare to speak, standing outside the house.
"Good courage!"
Li Chengchi and Li Baotuo were both intimidated by his power and couldn't move. Hu Jingye fiercely flicked his sleeves and walked out angrily. Li Baotuo was so scared that his legs trembled, and his wife squatted at the door in despair, not daring to move.
Seeing everyone shocked, Hu Jingye's embarrassment and anger were released. He stepped to the front of the house, leaving a back view. Li Chengchi hurriedly jumped up from his seat, shocked: "You are crazy! What are you talking about!"
He pulled Li Baotuo, and seeing that Hu Jingye had not yet left by wind, he understood that he was still holding on, and this was just a hidden threat. So he stepped out quickly with his robe, shouting: "Hu Hu Keqing! Unintentional words!"
Li Baotuo had never seen the world after all. He was really panicked at the moment, crawling and rushing out, breathing rapidly, his eyes black, but he heard a clear voice floating in the air:
"Hu Hu Keqing is so majestic!"
This ironic coldness took half of Li Baotuo's life. He stood up with stiff legs and found a woman standing in front of the door, holding his good daughter.
His head was blank. He found that the woman was an immortal in green and white feather clothes, her black hair like ink, a white flower pinned to her hair, and her eyes were hazy with purple. He hadn't seen clearly yet, but he heard a light sound in his ear.
"Plop!"
Li Chengchi, who had never been surprised from beginning to end, had an expression on his face like a broken porcelain bottle, showing infinite horror. His legs softened as if the bones had been drawn, his head hit the ground with a plop, hit Li Baotuo's waist, and the two rolled into a ball.
The world turned upside down. Li Baotuo found that this clan uncle jumped over him like a frog and knelt in front again. He howled: "Chengchi has seen the adult!"
Li Baotuo was a step slow and happened to bump into Hu Jingye's expression. The old thing's blowing beard and staring eyes disappeared, leaving only a piece of confusion, lying on the ground like a mud.
Hu Hu Keqing had naturally seen Li Qinghong.
Li Qinghong led the formation thunder to open the continent in the lake, and he was watching from afar on the shore. He suspected that he was not enough for a thunder strike from others. He had never thought that he would have any intersection with this adult, let alone 'Hu Hu Keqing is so majestic!' such words.
This was undoubtedly like a white thunder, splitting him into a mess. He seemed to have his mind destroyed, lying softly on the ground.
But Li Qinghong didn't share even a glance at him. Looking at Li Chengchi, who was sweating profusely, she pondered for a moment and said softly: "Chengchi?"
Li Chengchi said respectfully:
"The father of the junior is True Person Ximing."
"So it is Ming'er."
Li Qinghong's "Ming'er" was what really scared Li Baotuo. His head was against the ground, his eyes were empty, and he finally believed that she was the thunder on Qingdu Peak, listening to a light sentence:
"I just passed by this place, but I saw such a good show!"
Hu Jingye finally recovered, trembling his lips and unable to speak, his face as white as paper: "Adult... Adult misunderstood."
'It's just that I came. Eldest uncle loves the clan members the most. If he came, this Hu would have already had his head cut off...'
Li Qinghong's voice was clear: "I see this child is pleasing to the eye, so I chatted a few more words. You have already thought about her marrying your son. Hu Jingye, you really played a good game of chess. Even the marriage of my great sect dares to point fingers."
"It seems that my Clan Justice Court is too strict... you feel that my direct line are all soft-footed shrimps? Hmm?"
"Ad... Ad! ult..."
The more Li Qinghong spoke softly, the more Hu Jingye realized her anger. Li Qinghong was famous for her good temper. No one in the Li family had ever angered Li Qinghong. Hu Jingye was the first, and he was already scared soft.
He stammered and couldn't speak, his eyes rolled and he was about to faint. Li Qinghong flicked her finger, and the old guy's cultivation was sealed. She said softly:
"Chengchi, send it to Cheng Huai."
Li Chengchi hurriedly greeted people to move him. Li Qinghong said: "Baotuo's lineage has not returned to the clan for many years. My eldest uncle also misses it very much. Let's go see my eldest uncle together."
Li Chengchi responded respectfully. Li Qinghong held the girl and disappeared by thunder. Li Baotuo was still kneeling in place, and Hu Jingye was lying on the ground with cold hands and feet, looking straight at the sky.
"Congratulations Baotuo!"
Li Chengchi stepped over Hu Jingye as if he hadn't seen it, smiled and went to help Li Baotuo. The streamer flickered in the sky, falling one by one to this place. Li Baotuo only felt that he was in a dream, listening to a piece of congratulations from afar.
Pingya Continent.
When Li Shuwan landed on the peak, her face was a little pale. She had heard of the Great Lake since she was a child, but she didn't know that Wangyue Lake was so big, and she traveled through countless waves in an instant, landing on this continent in the blink of an eye.
She saw such a palace for the first time. Before she could look carefully, an old man was sitting in the hall, with seven points of green light on his body, looking very kind, welcoming him with a smile, laughing:
"Wan'er is here..."
Li Shuwan responded politely, and found a young man standing on the other side of the main hall, dressed in dark red with gold, facing her with his side face, the sun sprinkled on him. Li Shuwan only looked at it, felt a pain in her eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Li Xuanxuan only thought she was afraid and coaxed her twice. Li Qinghong sighed lightly and told the story of what she had just encountered, saying:
"Eldest uncle, the management in the clan is too strict. The great sect is easy to talk about in the continent, but the small sect in the prefecture has a lot of suffering."
Li Zhouwei looked at the girl thoughtfully, then raised his head and replied: "The matter the adult mentioned... Uncle also mentioned it, but the restraint is like a hoop, which cannot be easily solved. Li Baotuo is a small sect after all. If it weren't for this, where could he invite Hu Jingye? Who else could say a word in front of Hu Jingye? If you receive special treatment, you have to be restrained, so as not to bully others."
Li Xuanxuan handed the book slip to Li Shuwan and comforted her to go to the side hall to recite. In fact, he still felt sorry for the clan members and supported Li Qinghong, so he didn't say much. Li Zhouwei said in a deep voice:
"The cultivation level is difficult to cross. If it is relaxed here, they will certainly not be bullied by ordinary cultivators, but they will bully other mortals. By then, there will be a clear step among mortals, which is not a good thing."
Li Qinghong nodded and replied: "You look at it. My family has always been as fair as possible. It is inevitable that there will be grievances, and we should not let the children be cold-hearted. My trip is also to inspire the branches, so I am a bit strict."
The discussion of the three came to an end. Li Shuwan had already come up from the side hall and said softly:
"Adult, I have already memorized it."
"So fast!"
The choice of talisman seeds is becoming more and more demanding, and the children who can be selected are becoming more and more excellent. He only tested two sentences, and Li Shuwan answered them all. Li Zhouwei turned to the side and said: "Please invite the eldest son over."
Li Jiangqian arrived in the hall soon. This child called the three of them warmly, and then went to call Li Shuwan sister. Li Qinghong smiled and threw out the Chongming Dongxuan Screen, and the two children recited according to the formula.
Li Zhouwei was still looking at Li Shuwan, took a step, the dark red clothes with gold slightly shining, and whispered: "This child's soul seems to be different, and she can peek into the secrets of others."
"Hmm."
Li Qinghong also noticed it and responded to him. The three waited with full expectations. After a night, a bit of color was released in the screen light. The two children opened their eyes together, both with strange colors.
Li Jiangqian was more of a look of sudden realization, clapped his hands and stood up, saluted and said:
"Qian'er has received the talisman, thank you elders for your care!"
Li Shuwan was full of shock and curiosity, looking at this brother saluting, hurriedly followed to thank, raised her head, but found that the four people were staring at her.
Li Qinghong stood up suddenly, and a bit of orange color was slowly emerging between the girl's eyebrows, shaped like flower petals, as big as a pearl, emitting clear light, flickering three times, and then slowly dimmed. ===== CHAPTER 651 =====
