Hu Yuyuan had already left seclusion, and the head of the Hu family was personally in charge. Within a few days, Hu Weixian entered the Lingmai Cave for retreat again.

In a courtyard that was much larger than the one where Liu Xiaolu and his daughter lived now, a young man in white clothes, about twelve or thirteen years old, was practicing the winding technique on the various plants and trees in the yard.

Not far from him, a middle-aged man in his fifties was holding his hands behind his back with a serious expression, staring intently at the boy in white as he continued to cast spells.

With a crisp clicking sound, the spirit stone held in the young man's left hand suddenly shattered, turning into powder and pouring out from between his fingers, scattering on the grass.

When the young man saw this, he twisted his mouth and sat down on the grass as if he was cheating, unwilling to get up.

The middle-aged man in white clothes on the side saw that he dared to be lazy and slippery in front of him. He frowned and shouted, "What are you doing lying on the ground? Why don't you get up and continue practicing!"

Hu Ruxing turned to look at his father with a grimace and whispered, "Grandpa has already gone into seclusion. Father, please let me rest for a few days."

Hu Yiquan straightened his face when he heard this and said coldly, "As the young master of the Hu family, it is your duty to practice hard. How can you slack off just because your father is in seclusion?"

"Father, my child has been practicing for three hours today and has spent seven or eight yuan on spiritual stones. It's time to take a rest." Seeing his father's firm attitude, Hu Ruxing bargained pitifully.

Although there are spiritual stones to replenish spiritual energy at any time, after a long period of continuous casting, the face of the young man sitting on the ground did turn a little pale, which did not seem to be a fake.

Hu Yiquan has been practicing for many years, and he naturally knows the truth that going too far is not enough. He frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said, "In that case, let's stop practicing here today, and then continue practicing when we get up tomorrow morning."

Hu Ruxing cheered when he heard the words, swept away the weak look just now, jumped up from the grass, and ran towards his bedroom with brisk steps.

The middle-aged man in white looked at the young man's cheerful back and shook his head helplessly. He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of something and stopped Hu Ruxing who was about to step through the door.

"Didn't we agree to practice again tomorrow?" Hu Ruxing held the door frame with one hand and turned around reluctantly.

Seeing the young man next to the door with a sullen face and a look of dissatisfaction on his face, Hu Yiquan couldn't help laughing and said, "You kid, when have I ever broken a promise to you?"

When Hu Ruxing heard this, the expression on his face softened a bit, and he asked doubtfully, "Then why did my father call me?"

"Before your grandfather went into seclusion, he ordered me to take care of your eleventh uncle and his daughter.

I have never had any contact with your Uncle Eleven, so it may be a bit unexpected for me to come to visit you suddenly. I heard that you and Uncle Eleven's daughter are considered acquaintances, so after thinking about it, you should bring some elixirs and spiritual stones to them for me. "

Hu Yiquan took out a plain brocade bag from his arms and smiled warmly.

Hu Ruxing looked suspicious, turned around and walked a few steps to take the brocade bag, and then asked, "Father, I heard these days that the clan leader planned to let the little gourd from the eleventh uncle's family go to the city lord's palace for the marriage instead of the sixth sister. Is it possible? This matter?"

"Yes, but this matter has nothing to do with you and me. You don't need to worry about it." Hu Yiquan nodded calmly.

"Xiao Hulu is only twelve years old, and she has two spiritual roots. Why did the clan leader send her to the city lord's mansion?" Hu Ruxing frowned and asked in confusion.

Hu Yiquan shook his head slightly and said, "It is useless for you and me to talk about the matter decided by the patriarch. Besides, the marriage to the city lord's palace has been scheduled for two years, and the girl should be fourteen years old by then."

When Hu Ruxing heard this, he said reluctantly, "Even two years later is too early. Don't we all in the Liu Kingdom only marry men and women after they reach the age of sixteen?"

"We, the cultivators of immortality, naturally cannot be confused with the rules of ordinary mortals." Seeing that he kept asking questions, Hu Yiquan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and said in a low tone.

"There must be something fishy about this matter. If my father doesn't tell me, there's nothing I can do about it. But I can no longer hide it for my father when he went to Zongyuan City with his uncle from the Wu family to have wine and wine last year."

Facing his father's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Hu Ruxing showed no fear at all. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and spoke provocatively with a wink.

Hearing this, Hu Yiquan's expression suddenly changed, he turned his head cautiously and looked around, and then shouted sharply,

"Don't talk nonsense! I have told you many times before that the clan leader ordered me to discuss business matters with the Wu family. The place for discussion was chosen by the Wu family. What does it have to do with me?"

In fact, what Hu Yiquan said is true. Among the various forces in Zongyuan City, the Wu Jia is good at making talismans, and the Hu Jia is good at refining medicine. Although the two families do not have much contact on the surface, in fact they have always communicated with each other in private and have many contacts.

Hu Ruxing raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said, "Father should leave this to tell mother. Mother has always been the most generous, and she should be able to accept father's discussion with the Wu family in Zuixian Tower, full of warm and fragrant jade.

Business matters."

Seeing the proud expression on the face of the young man in front of him, Hu Yiquan's expression changed for a while, and finally he had no choice but to compromise, "Someone reported to the patriarch that the daughter of the eleventh brother is not his biological child, but just a disciple with a foreign surname that he accepted in the secular world."

"Little Hulu is not Uncle Eleven's biological child?"

Hu Ruxing was stunned when he heard this, curled his lips and said, "It seems that I guessed right at the beginning. How could such a handsome man as Uncle Eleven give birth to a daughter with mediocre appearance?"

"Silence!" Hu Yiquan shouted in a low voice and said solemnly, "The marriage has been decided. Don't mention it to others, otherwise the clan leader will blame you and you and I will be punished."

"I know, father, don't worry, the child will keep his father's secret!" Hu Ruxing smiled, stuffed the bag of tips into his arms, turned around and ran out of the courtyard door.

Although my son has always been afraid of chaos in the world since he was a child, fortunately, he is still sensible in matters of right and wrong, and he should not spread this matter everywhere.

Hu Yiquan looked at the open courtyard door with a worried look on his face and said to himself, "This stinky boy, please don't cause any trouble."

…

In a clean and spacious bedroom, two shadows, one green and one white, lay lazily on the bed.

Green Snake's body has now grown more than six feet, and he can no longer stretch out his long body unscrupulously on the girl's small bed.

"Xiao Qing, it seems it's time to prepare a separate bed for you." The girl in white stretched her waist and said to the green snake lying next to her.

Green Snake was still lazily lying on the bed, and said without raising his head, "No."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolu reached out and pushed the green snake next to him, and said coquettishly, "Look at how big a snake you are, you can only sleep curled up on my bed. This is not good for your health."

"I'm afraid of being cold and don't want to sleep alone." Xiao Qing then raised her head and said in a serious tone.

"Didn't you say you are the water god? The water god is also afraid of the cold?" Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but wonder.

Xiao Qing spat out the letter and said angrily, "Of course I'm not afraid of Gu's real body, but now this body likes warmth and is afraid of cold. Otherwise, why do you think Gu would condescend to share the same bed with a little loser from the human race like you?"

?”

The corner of Liu Xiaolu's mouth twitched. Did this guy think of himself as a bed-warming girl who specially covered the bed?
