Chapter 15 Give you face, reactions from all sides, Li Lu's obsession
Zhou Mansion.
"The deposed prince Jiang Nan wants to challenge me in seven days? That's right!"
Zhou Tingyu looked at the gold-plated war patch handed over by the guard in surprise.
Although he was not very familiar with this deposed son of the Jiang family, he knew Jiang Nan's strength very well.
According to the news, it was still in the middle stage of physical training a few days ago.
Even if this guy had a panacea, he wouldn't be able to reach the Tongmai realm now.
A low-level warrior who was at least one level lower than him actually wanted to challenge him, a strong man who was about to reach the Kaiyuan level.
"Is it because I forced his maid to death that he wants to regain his face in this way?"
He very much doubted whether this guy's brain was filled with water.
Wouldn't it be self-defeating to challenge him?
The difference in strength is so huge.
He also bet five thousand taels of silver... Tsk, aren't you here to give him money?
Zhou Tingyu was very disdainful and threw the battle sticker into the trash can.
He's not stupid.
If he really agreed, there would be no way to fight this fight.
Let him, who is at the eighth level of Kaiyuan Realm, torture an ant who is at least one level behind him?
Even if you win, you won't get the money, and if you don't win with force, you will be laughed at.
Moreover, although the abandoned prince was demoted to a commoner, he was still the eldest son of Prince Yong, the only son, and the only grandson of General Jiang Tianxing of Zhenbei.
Winning against him would be equivalent to slapping the entire Jiang family in the face.
It doesn't matter if a Jiang Mansion maid died.
But if the general's palace loses face, even if his father is the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he will be very passive.
The emperor's treatment of the Jiang family was not as simple as it seemed.
Thinking that Jiang Nan's maid committed suicide before she had time to play, Zhou Tingyu felt aggrieved and panicked every time he thought about it.
Sigh...what a bad luck!
Zhou Tingyu shook his head.
Don’t you just want money and face?
I'll give it to you.
Who told your maid to die in my place?
But soon, a servant rushed over from outside.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master."
Zhou Tingyu frowned slightly.
"What's going on in such a panic? How is it appropriate?"
"Second Young Master, there are rumors everywhere that the deposed son of the Jiang family is going to fight the Young Master in the East Arena on April 15th. If the Young Master avoids the fight, he will be considered a loser..."
Zhou Tingyu looked indifferent.
Even if you lose, you will lose. No one can see it.
Don’t you just want to save face?
No, I’ll give you the face.
By the way, it also lets you "win" some money.
The face is considered sufficient.
But what the servant said next made Zhou Tingyu furious.
"If the young master loses, not only will he lose five thousand taels of silver to the other party, but he will also slap himself ten times in front of everyone, admit his mistake to the other party, and admit that he is not a human being..."
"Enough!"
Zhou Tingyu shouted.
Looking at the war stickers in the trash can, Zhou Tingyu was furious.
Mad, I was planning to give you face, but you don’t want it yourself!
Since you are looking for trouble, don't blame me for being rude!
"Promise him and announce it, and it means that I agree!"
The guard cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Second Young Master."
Then he quickly turned around and left.
…
Royal Palace.
Zhu Xuan was startled when he heard the old eunuch's report.
"Jiang Nan wants to challenge Erlang of the Zhou family?"
"Exactly." The old eunuch said respectfully, "This matter has spread, and soon, the entire Kyoto will probably know about it."
There was a hint of amusement on Zhu Xuan's face.
"He has just entered the Tongmai Realm, and he actually wants to challenge the eighth level of the Kaiyuan Realm for a maid. It's quite interesting~ Jiang Tianxing is probably going to make a big bet on his grandson."
"Let's arrange it and let the gambling house increase the betting for the two of them, and at the same time increase the publicity. With so many sects gathering in Kyoto, this is a good opportunity to make money."
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise."
The old eunuch stepped back with a happy face.
…
Feiyun Garden.
"What! Brother Jiang Nan wants to challenge Zhou Tingyu?"
Princess Yunmeng listened to the palace maid's report with shock on her face.
She knew Jiang Nan's strength.
Some time ago, I was still in the body-forging realm. Even if I have made rapid progress during this period, I am still in the meridians-opening realm at best.
But Zhou Tingyu is at the eighth level of Kaiyuan Realm.
Tongmai Realm challenges Kaiyuan Realm, hitting an egg against a stone?
"Does the General's Office know?"
"You should know. Now the whole Kyoto knows. There is no reason why the General's Palace doesn't know." The palace maid said.
"Then what was the general's reaction?"
Yunmeng asked.
The palace maid thought for a moment and said, "There doesn't seem to be any reaction."
No response?
Yunmeng was stunned, how could he not respond?
This is not common sense.
Perhaps...the General's Office also supports brother Jiang Nan in this matter.
She believed that the General's Office would not be so casual about this matter.
In other words, they are sure that brother Jiang Nan will win, or at least not lose...
Yunmeng immediately thought of the key to the problem.
A pair of big eyes twinkled, and he felt happy and worried at the same time.
Fortunately, brother Jiang Nan has become stronger.
What's worrying is that Brother Jiang Nan's cultivation level is too low and it would be too dangerous to do this.
no!
I must do something for brother Jiang Nan.
Yunmeng immediately stood up and headed towards the imperial study room.
…
Tufu's Mansion.
On the quiet bamboo building, Lou Xianghan stood in front of the window wearing a light green dress.
She has a slim waist and raised hips, a back as tall as a pine tree, smooth black hair reaching her waist, and a few strands of hair fluttering on her white swan neck.
After hearing the report from the maid Feicui, Lou Xianghan turned around, revealing a face that would captivate a country.
Under the smooth and plump forehead, a pair of phoenix eyes are as smart as stars.
The nose is high and straight, the red lips are small and moist, and the skin is as delicate and smooth as white porcelain.
At this time, her cold face showed a little shock.
"Jiang Nan wants to challenge Zhou Tingyu, are you sure?"
"Yes, miss, almost the whole of Kyoto knows about it now. Walking on the street, everyone is talking about it."
Jade said.
Lou Xianghan's eyes moved slightly, "What's going on at the General's Mansion?"
"Nothing happened, everything is normal." Jade said.
Everything is normal... Lou Xianghan's heart moved.
Then walked into the room.
After a while, he walked out with a brocade box in his hand.
Said to Jade: "Give this brocade box to Jiang Nan as quickly as possible."
"Yes, miss."
Jade took it, then turned and left.
…
Tianyue Mansion.
"Jiang Nan wants to challenge Zhou Tingyu for a dead maid?"
The third prince was a little surprised, and then the corners of his mouth raised.
"Ha~ You are overestimating your abilities!"
"Then let me add some more fire to you..."
He did not believe that Jiang Nan challenged Zhou Tingyu on a whim and without preparation.
Otherwise, challenging Zhou Tingyu, who is at the eighth level of the Kaiyuan Realm, with Jiang Nan's little cultivation level, is just looking for abuse.
Therefore, if he wants to defeat Zhou Tingyu, Jiang Nan will definitely start with equipment.
This is not impossible given the strength of the General Mansion.
In addition, Zhou Tingyu may be wary when the time comes, so he may let go.
But the third prince didn't want this kind of leakage to happen.
"Come here, tell Zhou Tingyu that I bet him fifty thousand taels of silver. If he wins, he will share half of it with him. If he loses, he will be allowed to crawl around the inner city and imitate the barking of a dog."
"yes."
…
With the help of interested people, the news that Jiang Nan, the deposed prince of Prince Yong's palace, challenged Zhou Tingyu, the son of the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in the East Arena on April 15th, quickly spread throughout the inner city.
At the same time, it spread towards the imperial city and the outer city.
…
Afternoon.
A new grave was filled at the foot of a hill outside the city.
With mountains on its back and water on its back, it has good feng shui.
The paper money was flying in the wind and scattered all over the ground.
Li Ze kowtowed, wiped away his tears, put away his sorrow, and left with Zhou Qing.
His sister is gone, and from today on, he will be responsible for all the housework at home.
Maybe the General's Mansion will arrange for a new maid to come over soon.
But before the new maid comes, he has to take care of everything at home and abroad.
Of course, this is not particularly onerous for him, it can only be said to be a bit trivial.
The young master doesn't like eating outside, so he needs to learn how to cook.
The other thing is laundry and cleaning.
The two people who left did not know that at this moment, Li Lu, who was wearing gorgeous burial clothes in the coffin, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the darkness, two red lights flashed in the dark pupils, faintly illuminating the top of the coffin.
There was no expression on the pale face.
She slowly stretched out her hand, pulled out the hosta stuck in her head, and stiffly inserted it into the original wound on her chest again.
Then slowly close your eyes again.
The originally reddish color of the hosta head gradually turned deep red, and gradually spread to the rest of the area.
Deep in Li Lu's mind, a wave continued: "I belong to the young master! No one can invade me!"
This is Li Lu's remaining consciousness.
There was always only this thought in her consciousness.
This idea was formed from the heart-rending cry of fear and unwillingness at the time of death, and eventually formed a strong obsession.
Under this strong obsession, part of her consciousness and soul have remained intact.
And as this obsession became deeper and deeper, the remaining souls at this time gradually condensed.
In the end, he shrank into a ball.
At this time, in this darkness, an extremely illusory black shadow was attacking Li Lu's consciousness.
As long as Li Lu's consciousness is broken, this black shadow can swallow Li Lu's remaining soul.
For Him, this is an opportunity.
As long as he swallows Li Lu's remaining soul, he will have the opportunity to awaken or even be resurrected with the help of Li Lu's body.
However, what Heiying didn't expect was that Li Lu's obsession was as indestructible as a rock.
The fluctuation of consciousness that emanates is always only that sentence.
The illusory black shadow is extremely helpless.
After various attacks failed, he was forced to activate the few traces of his origin.
boom--
The black shadow turned into a huge fairy shadow, illuminating the entire consciousness space.
The pressure is overwhelming.
A pair of majestic eyes looked down at the heaven and earth.
However, it had no effect at all.
Li Lu's consciousness fluctuated slightly under this pressure, but his strong obsession did not waver at all.
The black shadow immediately turned into a terrifying god and demon.
boom--
The power of the god is as powerful as prison, and it is so terrifying that it seems to shake the whole world.
Li Lu's consciousness is turbulent, but her obsession is as solid as a rock.
In the darkness, a huge sea of blood suddenly appeared, like hell.
Li Lu's consciousness seemed to have disappeared, and her obsession remained the same.
Black Shadow was discouraged.
Even though he had thousands of ways to confuse and intimidate, he was helpless with his obsession with Li Lu like Jin Jian.
Who is your young master that makes you so obsessed with him?
It is hard to imagine that a mortal's obsession can reach such a strong point.
For the black shadow, this is also the only thing that can be seen.
Unable to intimidate, the shadow had no choice but to attack forcefully again.
But Li Lu's obsession was so deep that it was as solid as a rock and could not be broken.
The black shadow persists, over and over again.
This is related to His resurrection and life and death.
Therefore, His attacks are stubborn and crazy.
Even if it becomes more and more illusory, it will not stop.
However, his attacks were like forging iron, and the constant attacks were like constantly tempering Li Lu's obsessive soul.
As a result, the remnant soul of obsession that shrank into a ball became smaller and smaller, but also became more and more solid.
The weak black shadow was not surprised but happy.
If this continues, Li Lu's obsessive remnant soul is likely to be refined into a remnant soul golden bead by him.
Once the remnant soul golden beads are refined and swallowed, it will be of great help to his remnant soul which may be extinguished at any time.
Black Shadow's attacks began to become more methodical.
He even did not hesitate to use his few remaining roots to carve some runes on Li Lu's increasingly solid remnant soul.
Once the runes take effect, they will autonomously absorb the remaining soul power in the entire space, and can even absorb some negative energy from the outside world to actively nourish it.
