The moon was shining brightly, and General Pingbei hung up a red lantern.
Lanterns dotted the dark night sky, illuminating the many houses that crisscrossed the area.
General Pingbei surrendered to Tuxian Mountain and his power grew day by day.
In Youzhou City, General Pingbei's Mansion attracts people's attention. Any disturbance will spread throughout the city.
Tonight, a dinner party was held at Pingbei General Mansion.
The dinner party was not large in scale, but the incident spread to the ears of the people, including many people in the world.
Regarding Pingbei General Mansion, it gradually became mysterious from the moment the plaque was hung.
It has a completely different temperament from the original City Lord's Mansion.
Originally, the Jianghu people in the city came and went, and although the city lord's mansion was heavily guarded, it was not too dangerous.
Today's Pingbei General's Mansion is a truly forbidden area. There are countless masters in the mansion, and ordinary people cannot approach it at all. However, the martial arts warriors who sneaked into the General's Mansion have not yet been able to get out.
This is a dangerous place and extremely dangerous.
Those who are curious can only stand on the tall buildings in the city and look towards the General's Mansion from a distance.
I saw the lights of the General's Mansion dimly lit, and the faint sound of melodious piano music could be heard, making it look like an elegant dinner celebration.
At the banquet, Liu Yiqi and Liu Luan, who were well-dressed, sat on the left hand side of Cao Su.
Cao Su invited Cao's father and Cao's mother to sit on the high seat.
Father Cao and Mother Cao looked tired along the way. After a day of adjustment, they regained some energy.
Now that everyone in the family is here, Cao's mother will bring up the important matter again.
"Asu, now that you are more capable, have a bigger official position, and have a territory, should you consider the major events in your life?"
An important reason that prompted Cao's father and Cao's mother to come all the way to Youzhou was that they wanted to see Cao Su get married and have children.
Carrying on the family line is a major matter for the Cao family.
Cao Su has broken through the realm of strength, has a long life, and has forward thinking, so he doesn't have to worry about this matter.
But Cao's father and Cao's mother had been very anxious, and now that there was no one else at the dinner, they brought up the matter again.
Cao Su couldn't think of any reason to refuse. He inexplicably remembered the ridiculous few days in the imperial city and became slightly distracted.
"Asu, what are you thinking about?"
Cao's mother was aggressive and showed her motherly dignity to put pressure on Cao Su.
Cao Su frowned.
Several other people on the field did not speak. Liu Yiqi was not suitable to speak, Liu Luan did not know how to speak, and Cao's father always stood on the same front as Cao's mother.
Cao Su said: "Who to marry?"
Mother Cao glanced at Liu Yiqi who was sitting. Liu Yiqi suddenly blushed and lowered her head slightly.
Cao's mother smiled and said: "I think Yiqi is very good. She escorted us all the way here. She is dedicated and capable. She is also pretty and pretty, so she can be your good helper."
Liu Yiqi knew that she would be called out, so she became even more shy.
It was very different from the situation during the day when he had sharp conversations with Cao Su and argued for every inch of benefit.
In front of others...
Cao Su couldn't refuse, and then said: "Yiqi is my partner, and our relationship is already very close. There is no need to take it any further."
This was Cao Su's first tactful refusal. Liu Yiqi below raised her head in disbelief, and Liu Luan next to her had a strange look on her face.
At the same time, Li Nanyan walked in calmly, holding a tea tray.
Her voluptuous figure was swaying, her fiery red satin brocade gown outlined her graceful curves, and every move she made had a soul-stirring charm.
Liu Yiqi looked at Li Nanyan and found that Li Nanyan was also looking at her curiously.
Mother Cao suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, say something I don't understand."
"Your father and I traveled thousands of miles to come to you, not just to see you quibbling."
"Since you have reached the age, the so-called big event must be to carry on the family line. Yiqi is a good girl and a perfect match for our Cao family. I agree with this marriage. You must get married soon."
Mother Cao didn't know where she could get so angry. There was a sense of majesty in her shouts.
General Cao, who was so murderous, was dumbfounded. He sat on the stool blankly, forgetting any words to refute.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the dinner party became extremely awkward.
----------------------------------------
The elegant dinner ended with everyone having different thoughts.
Cao Su stood in the middle of the hall and suddenly said loudly: "Since you are here, why don't you come down and sit down?"
He turned his head and looked at the top of the beam. There was no one there.
Under Cao Su's direct gaze, the space shook like ripples, and then two exquisite figures appeared from the space.
"I never thought that the famous General Pingbei would be scolded one day."
Ouyang Xuanji was amazed: "Also, you actually discovered me. You are indeed getting stronger and stronger."
The two men jumped down from the beam and landed in front of Cao Su.
Maintained a reasonable distance from Cao Su.
Cao Su said helplessly: "You don't have to be so cautious every time, do you? Although I am a martial artist, I am a martial artist who obeys the rules and disciplines. In essence, I am different from those Jianghu people."
Ouyang Xuanji waved her hand: "One code equals another. This is the basic professional ethics of an alchemist."
Wu Yun beside her smiled and saluted Cao Su.
Cao Su nodded and asked: "Sister Yun, didn't I ask you to escort my parents to Youzhou? Why did they arrive before you?"
Wu Yun studied under Ouyang Xuanji and can be regarded as an alchemist who learned Qimen Dunjia. Her methods are cunning and complex, and she is better at being secretive.
Therefore, Cao Su secretly sent Wu Yun to protect his parents. Unexpectedly, in Liu Yiqi's story, there was nothing about Wu Yun at all, as if Wu Yun had never appeared.
Wu Yun shook her head and said: "The general doesn't know something, but I did follow your parents out of the divine realm."
"But as soon as I came out of the magical realm, I found that someone was also secretly following your parents."
"After that, I had a battle with the person who was secretly following you, and then I asked Master to come over and erase the traces of your parents."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As Wu Yun spoke, she suddenly stretched out two slender fingers.
On her fingers, which were as white as mutton fat, there was a cluster of faint green fire. The green fire burned out of thin air, and the top turned black. Under the night, it didn't appear hot at all, and there was a coolness.
"General, let's see."
After Wu Yun finished speaking, Cao Su observed it carefully with a solemn expression.
After looking at it for a long time, he still didn't understand it. He said in confusion: "This is..."
"This is one of the unique skills of the 'Qingyang Sect', the Spiritual Firework Technique."
"The practice of this technique is extremely complex and difficult, and it incorporates 'Qimen' techniques. Even ascetics with average talent will not be able to practice this technique."
Ouyang Xuanji on the side gave a brief introduction.
Cao Su asked: "What does the fusion of 'Qimen' techniques mean?"
"General, you should have heard about the principles of magic. Although alchemists like us do not practice Taoism, they still have their own methods. In order to improve the power of their magic, some ascetics will also practice side sects, like
The technique of 'Qi Men Dun Jia' belongs to the side sect in the ranks of monasticism. Being able to integrate the 'side sect' into one's own technique can be called a comprehensive practice."
Ouyang Xuanji gave a brief introduction, and Cao Su finally understood.
To put it bluntly, a science student majoring in physics and chemistry has now mastered biology as a part-time major. This is fusion.
"Then to practice this spiritual firework technique, you need to practice some 'Qimen' techniques at the same time?"
"Yes, that's why Wu Yun can refine this fire and control it in her hands."
Ouyang Xuanji pointed at the spiritual fireworks emerging from the tips of Wu Yun's fingers. At this time, the fireworks were very weak and basically had no lethality, but their strange posture was still very eye-catching.
Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Isn't Qingyang Sect an ordinary martial arts sect? There are actually people who practice Taoism."
"The Qingyang Gate is in the central and northern part of Youzhou, but Keshou directly fished it across the border, and even operates in Yuzhou. It is really arrogant."
He sneered repeatedly, his impression of this sect was extremely bad.
"In the Qingyang Sect, I heard that there are old monsters from the Xuan Realm, but now that the Xuan Realm is not available, there are only a handful of people in the Qingyang Sect who have such sensitive fireworks skills. I suspect that their deputy sect leader Jia Shen personally took action.
.”
Ouyang Xuanji said: "When I was covering up my traces, I once encountered a very strong interference."
"I almost failed because of this, but someone found out the traces."
"Now in this Youzhou Mansion, I seem to feel some undercurrents surging again."
Cao Su couldn't believe what the alchemist Ouyang said about the gods.
These days, the alchemist is sometimes much more accurate than his own pure judgment, especially now that he is in a high position, his vision is different, and he lacks sufficient understanding of the undercurrents below.
Cao Su's heart moved. It seemed that he had to go to the city to investigate in person.
