Chapter 24. Inexplicable hostility
Although Zhu Changling did not agree on the spot, he was no longer prevaricating as before. He only said that the matter was of great importance and that he should think about it carefully and give Lu Zhi a reply in a few days.
Lu Zhi knew that the matter was already settled, and Zhu Changling's statement was just to show his attitude in order to obtain the maximum benefit.
Lu Zhi didn't feel anything about this. It was just human nature. As long as Zhu Changling's request was not excessive, he could agree to it.
On the other side, after sending his subordinates to send Lu Zhi to the guest room to rest, Zhu Changling quickly called his sworn brother, Wu Lie, the deputy owner of Zhuwu Lianzhuang, to discuss with him.
"Brother Zhu, do you really want to give away Yiyangzhi's secret book? I would rather just send that Lu Qingzhi away."
Zhu Changling shook his head and said: "It's easier said than done. Since Wudang has already set its sights on Yiyangzhi, how can there be any room for our objection?"
"Do you still remember the power that Taoist Master Qingzhi showed when he visited the village?"
Wu Lie's face couldn't help but change slightly: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Zhu Changling said: "To think that Lu Qingzhi is just a third-generation Wudang disciple, yet he has such profound cultivation. You can imagine how powerful the Wudang sect is. We can't twist our thighs with our arms."
"And this time, the Wudang Sect has given us enough face, in the name of martial arts exchanges in exchange for Yiyang Finger. If we refuse again, we may be in trouble."
Wu Lie raised his eyebrows: "Is it possible that the Wudang Sect can still rob it by force?"
Zhu Changling shook his head: "That's not the case. Wudang is a famous sect after all, so it shouldn't be able to do such coercive things. However, in the future, our Zhuwu Lianzhuang will probably be restrained everywhere in the world."
"I decided to agree and give the secret book of One Yang Finger to that Lu Qingzhi. I believe that they, the mighty Wudang Sect, will not go back on their word and spread the word about my Zhu family's One Yang Finger."
"So if you think about it this way, exchanging martial arts with the Wudang sect is not completely unacceptable. After all, we can also obtain a Wudang secret skill, and Wudang can also accept a favor from us. Why not?"
Wu Lie listened to Zhu Changling's analysis of the pros and cons, and nodded as if he had a sudden realization: "That being the case, it can be considered a good thing. By the way, brother, since the Wudang Sect has requested us, we might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to operate.
Ask for some benefits."
"That's why I found my dear brother to discuss with you and see how we should act."
On the other side, Lu Zhi came to the guest room with the servants of Zhuwu Lianzhuang. After thanking the person who led the way, he sat cross-legged and meditated in the room.
His cultivation level has risen too fast recently, especially after using the skill upgrade card, which directly upgraded the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu to the fifth level. Now is the time to seriously consolidate his realm.
In addition, he is still thinking about the Nine Yang Magic in the Kunlun Mountains. This is something he must look for and think carefully about in advance.
Knock knock knock
"Brother Lu, are you in the room?"
Lu Zhi opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the door with a strange expression on his face. Isn't this voice that of the beautiful and bad woman Zhu Jiuzhen? Why is she looking for me?
"Is this Miss Zhu? The door is unlocked. Please come in."
Although it was a little strange, Lu Zhi still stood up and welcomed her in.
"Miss Zhu, what can I do for you?"
"I'm here to invite you, brother of the Lu family, to go out and play together. Brother of the Lu family, you are here for the first time. You must not have had a good visit to our Zhuangzi. Why don't you let Jiuzhen take you around and visit our Zhuwu Links?"
village?"
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "This little girl, there's something wrong with the way she looks at me? She looks so strange."
"Well, let's forget it. I always like to be quiet." Lu Zhi declined politely.
"Brother Lu, let's go. It's boring for you to stay in the house alone."
As he said that, the little girl actually went straight to Lu Zhi, grabbing his arm and taking him out of the house.
Lu Zhi: ""
To be honest, for a moment, Lu Zhi almost used the handle to throw her out.
But after taking a look at the little girl who didn't even have all her teeth, Lu Zhi thought about it and didn't care too much about it, and let her pull him out of the house.
Even if this person will grow up to be the femme fatale in the original work in the future, she is still just a child now. She probably just has the fun-loving nature of a child and wants to drag him around, but she doesn’t.
What a bad intention.
"Brother Lu, look, that's our pond. Dad has planted a lot of lotus flowers in the pond. Let's go pick lotus flowers and play?"
"Brother Lu"
The two of them were walking on the corridor in the lotus pond. Zhu Jiuzhen turned his head and said something to Lu Zhi from time to time. Lu Zhi seemed to be indifferent to everything.
He already regretted rejecting her at that time. This little girl was really energetic and noisy. She was just a replica of a naughty child. She was very annoying.
"cousin!"
At this moment, a greeting came over, and the two of them looked around and saw a young man walking from the corridor on the other side, followed by a young girl who they had seen at the banquet before.
Wei Bi and Wu Qingying.
"Cousin, Qingying."
Lu Zhi also turned his head and nodded slightly to the two of them, which was regarded as a greeting.
Wei Bi came over and asked, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
"It's the first time for the Lu family brother to come to our Zhuwu Lianzhuang Village, so I want to take him around the village. It just so happens that my cousin and Qingying can come too."
Upon hearing this, Wei Bi couldn't help but turn around and glance at Lu Zhi, his eyes full of inexplicable hostility.
Lu Zhi was a little confused as to what was wrong with Wei Bi. He had always been like this when they first met at the banquet. He had an inexplicable feeling of hostility towards him, and now he was even more undisguised.
"Humph!" Wei Bi glanced at Lu Zhi fiercely, "Lu Qingzhi, this is our Zhuwu Lianzhuang Village. You, an outsider, should leave as soon as possible."
Lu Zhi didn't answer, just looked at Wei Bi quietly.
An angry look appeared on Wei Bi's face: "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what I said? Get out of our Zhuwu Lian Village! You are not welcome in our village!"
Lu Zhi shook his head at this time and said calmly: "Although I don't know why you are so hostile to me, it seems that you can't make the decision in Zhuwu Lianzhuang."
"Cousin, how could you do this? Brother Lu is my guest."
Wu Qingying on the side also echoed: "Yes, senior brother, Lu Shaoxia is a guest of Dad and Uncle Zhu, how can you talk like this."
"you"
Wei Bi's face became even more angry, already taking on a hint of ferociousness.
He looked at Lu Zhi fiercely: "Lu Qingzhi! Let me tell you, you can never marry my cousin. She can only be mine!"
Lu Zhi: "???" What is this guy talking about?!
It turned out that when Wei Bi passed by Zhu Changling's room before, he accidentally overheard his conversation with Wu Lie. In Zhu Changling's words, he mentioned that if Lu Zhi and his daughter Zhu Jiuzhen were close in age, if Zhu Jiuzhen could be married to Lu Zhi, then
Everyone is really happy.
After hearing the news, Wei Bi was furious. He had regarded Zhu Jiuzhen as his beloved from a long time ago. Now someone wants to snatch Zhu Jiuzhen away. How can he not be angry?
