True freedom is not the right to possess, but the right to refuse. Unfortunately, he is still far from this step.
Wang Daoren patted him on the shoulder and said, "Junior Brother Hou, in fact, you don't need to be under such great pressure, because the Duwei Mansion has not actually set any practical tasks for you. It is just within your ability to do whatever you want. When exposing oneself.
Of course it’s best if you have something to gain, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. We here in Dafengyuan are at most a cooperative responsibility, not a leader, so what are you worried about?”
Hou Zi looked at him deeply and said, "I'm overthinking it!"
Wang Daoren left with satisfaction, leaving behind a black line on Hou Ziyi's forehead; of course he understood that this task could be big or small, light or heavy, depending on the executioner's own control, but that was not what he was worried about.
If it was really a pure surveillance mission without any actual purpose, why did Wang Daoren make the cause and effect so clear to him? There was no need at all!
With the power of the Duwei Mansion, there was no need to say anything, just a simple order: monitor Yan Xisheng and report any abnormalities.
But Wang Daoren uncharacteristically explained the whole ins and outs. The underlying meaning behind his words was actually to pull him into this big pit. In other words, the Duwei Mansion was interested in developing him as a downline. This was his true meaning. worried.
He himself has a trouble-making temperament, he doesn't rub dirt in his eyes, and his identity is very special; there are disadvantages in being entangled with the Duwei Mansion, but in his current state, he may do more harm than good.
Will he catch the Hydrangea ball thrown by Captain Li? Or not?
...Within a few days, everyone arrived, and the thirty-five disciples were ready. Zhu Jiuling, the major cultivator of Jindan, drove them there in a boat. Only then did Hou Zi understand that they finally no longer had to ride horses and ride boats all the way there. This was cultivation. The way people travel is also the reason why the Quanzhen Sect has never been impatient.
On this trip, in addition to the thirty-five disciples, there were also three masters of the Three Realms of Tongtian, named Li, Wang, and Jia. The leader of the team was Zhu Jiuling, the great master of Jindan, who was the management of the entire team. A figure from the home base of the Quanzhen Sect in Yujing.
Hou is a kind of honorific title, which can only be given to Jindan Daxiu, and it is also a freak produced by the combination of cultivation and secularity.
Early that morning, in Jian Mansion, all the disciples boarded the boat one by one; this was a medium-sized flying magic weapon specially designed to carry people. It looked beautiful and mighty, but it did not fit well with the style of the Quanzhen Sect.
Sword cultivators usually use swords, but with so many people, even the golden elixir overhaul cannot be carried, so they can only use flying tower ships. Listening to a few senior brothers nearby talking in low voices, it seems that Zhu Jiuling did not make this tower ship himself. Yes, I don’t know which one of them was unlucky enough to be killed.
There are cabins on the building ship, which are thoughtfully and comfortably arranged. It is more than enough to accommodate dozens of people, but no disciple wants to stay in the cabin. Everyone is crowded on both sides of the bow. There are not many opportunities to fly like this. For everyone, It's all a novel experience.
Of course, the bow of the ship is the best position, with a broad view, facing the wind and breaking clouds, and pointing out the country; but this position belongs to the five proud men of Yujing, and there are also some brothers who think they are good friends with them. Without this friendship, , then the only option is to move closer to both sides.
Hou Zi and King Luo Lin were both people who did not want to be criticized. Hou Zi always wanted to hide himself, and King Luo Lin was a scholar and had a arrogant temper, so they simply stayed at the stern of the boat, which was better than peace and quiet.
Everyone had arrived, and Zhu Jiuling didn't waste any time. He sailed directly to the sky and flew thousands of feet into the sky. There were already clouds covering this height. For monks, it was a habit for them to subconsciously avoid the sight of mortals.
The speed of the building boat is not very fast, which is determined by its nature. Of course, even this is not comparable to that of a galloping horse. The half-month journey for the minor repairmen below only takes half a day for the building boat. They
Set off early in the morning and arrive at dusk.
Looking down from a thousand feet above the ground, you can clearly see the scene on the ground: farmland, cities, rivers and mountains, the scenery is picturesque and makes people feel relaxed and happy.
King Luo Lin sighed, "Just for this flight, I must be promoted to Tongxuan. I heard that traveling with a sword is faster and more exciting than this. It is really exciting."
This is almost every swordsman's dream. King Luo Lin is like this, and Hou Zi is also the same.
The two of them quietly admired the beautiful scenery on the ground, watching the earth move quickly under their feet. The only shortcoming was the lack of the feeling of facing the wind and waves on the bow of the ship.
No one brought up the idea of going to the bow of the ship. What's the use of fighting for other people's ships? I really want to stir up the wind and clouds, but I can't see myself wielding a sword.
"Zhou Duo and Duan Kunshan, they have no ill intentions, nor are they deliberately targeting you. They are just dissatisfied with the actions of the three palaces and did not even give them a chance to compete."
King Luo Lin explained that he went to visit a friend that day and was not in the outer courtyard of Jianfu at the time. When he heard about it afterwards, he always wanted to find an opportunity to explain; he had many friends in Jincheng and did not want everyone to get into trouble because of this.
, especially this Junior Brother Hou, who is cruel and ruthless, and is not a good person.
Hou Zi laughed and said, "Senior brother, you are worrying too much. Am I the kind of person who cares about everything? Everyone depends on their ability. They have the right to fight for it, and I have the right to defend it. I think you should ask them for an explanation. I'm afraid they will because of that.
What bad thoughts will there be if you fail?”
King Luo Lin smiled and said: "How did you know that I didn't look for them? It's just that I was a little embarrassed for a while; but everyone has criticized your fighting method. You don't have the style of a swordsman at all! It sounds like you are an outstanding soldier.
To put it bluntly, the end justifies the means."
Hou Zi disagreed, "What is the demeanor of a swordsman? Can he not only save face for his opponent, but also make him convinced? I don't have that ability. Now I am easy to strike but hard to take back. I often can't control myself once I take action with the sword.
So I can only use it crookedly, but I’m not looking down on them.”
King Luo Lin often fought swords with him these days, and knew that he was telling the truth, "You guy, you don't know the same swordsmanship in the Sword Hidden Tower, but how come it has completely changed in your hands?
Fighting with each other's moves, chasing souls with swords! Are these all the results of fighting those monsters and ghosts in Yin Ling? That's not right. I am familiar with him. He has been in Yin Ling much longer than you.
, and those patrols haven’t trained like you either.”
Of course, Hou Zi couldn't say that he learned all this in the Soul Realm. All the soul creatures there were very hard-working, and none of them were gentle.
"Maybe it's just my personality? I don't like to fight for long. I always want to solve the problem at once, so I developed the habit of taking risks."
King Luo Lin said sternly: "This habit is not good! Especially when facing those in the Taoist sect, what they like most is grinding. Grinding will make you exhausted, anxious and impulsive. When you get impatient, that's the time for them to take action.
