In the quiet study room, the noble sandalwood desks, elegant ink landscapes, and exquisite jade and porcelain vases, although no one has cared about them for more than three hundred years, are still spotless, standing silently in place, looking forward to the caress of the owner. The eyes are light and loving.
After caressing everything, Lu Xiao's face revealed a touch of nostalgia, and he felt even more grateful for Xianyu beside him.
"Great Protector!" Ao Zhong, who was originally a little restless, couldn't help but stand up when he saw Lu Xiao walking in, and said uneasily: "I wonder how Miss Meng is doing now?"
"She has already fallen asleep." He pointed to the chair beside him and motioned for Ao Zhong to sit down. Lu Xiao walked slowly to the desk and lay half on the chair: "According to what you said, I took one pill each for three consecutive hours.
With the Dragon Flame Pill, the wound is almost healed, but the vitality still needs time to recover, and this is all your fault!" As he said that, he looked at Ao Zhong's nervous face playfully, and raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth.
"This is what an old man should do." Ao Zhong, who had just sat down, immediately stood up nervously and said slightly panicked.
Lu Xiao reached out and grabbed the small jade Ruyi on the slip of paper and played with it casually. The corners of his eyes glanced at Ao Zhong from time to time, but he said nothing.
In the oppressive silence, Ao Zhong finally couldn't stand it anymore and said awkwardly: "I wonder if the promise made by the Great Protector before still counts?" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had lived for nearly ten thousand years, and he had no idea about the human heart and the world.
I have seen it very clearly, and I can definitely make the mountain collapse without changing my appearance. However, in front of this great protector who only has more than a thousand years of cultivation, I will always be overwhelmed by his momentum and unable to hold my head up.
"Do you want to be my apprentice?" Lu Xiao asked in feigned surprise as he looked at Ao Zhong's old body teasingly.
"I am old and dull. Learning from the Great Protector will only bring disgrace to your reputation." Seeing Lu Xiao speak, Ao Zhong said hurriedly. "My adopted son Ao Sheng is very talented.
I have admired your reputation for a long time, but I have no chance to meet you. Today I am shamelessly begging the Great Protector to accept him as my disciple."
——"Since he is here, please show up and let me see him!"
After hearing Lu Xiao's careless words, Ao Zhong immediately broke into a cold sweat. You must know that the Turtle Breathing Technique of the Ao people is an innate invisible skill. It can stop one's breathing, heartbeat, and pulse, and the whole body cannot
He could make the slightest sound. Moreover, he hid Ao Sheng in the turtle shell, so it was impossible for Lu Xiao to see him. However, in such a short period of time, he was still aware of it. Lu Xiao's cultivation was really
Unfathomable.
"Since you've found out, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's killing me." A green light flashed, and Aosheng in a dark green robe appeared in front of the document. He had shining eyes, well-proportioned and strong arms, and a slightly fat face.
, if it weren’t for the armor on the chest and the turtle shell on the back, he should be considered to have a dignified appearance. But the high head, raised nostrils and arrogant eyes made Lu Xiao feel a sense of disgust for no reason, but he did not show it, his face remained the same.
Wearing a faint smile.
"Are you Lu Xiao?" Seeing that Lu Xiao didn't say anything, Ao Sheng curled his lips contemptuously and looked disdainfully at the bookish face in front of him: "With your more than a thousand years of Taoism, you are worthy of being the great master of the devil world."
Protector?"
"Sheng'er, don't be arrogant in front of the Great Protector." Ao Zhong angrily scolded his son in horror, secretly regretting in his heart that he shouldn't have been pampering and pampering him for thousands of years, so much so that Ao Sheng is now seeking his own death without knowing it.
.
"What do you think?" He waved his hand to signal Ao Zhong to shut up. Looking at Ao Sheng playfully, Lu Xiao not only wasn't angry, but his smile became even stronger.
——"I want to challenge you. If I win, you will give up your position as the Great Protector to me."
"Exactly!" The arrogant voice made Xianyu standing aside sneer. Aosheng stared at Xianyu fiercely. You must know that as the next leader of the Ao tribe, he naturally has arrogance.
Capital. From birth to now, he has never had an opponent in his family for thousands of years. A few years ago, he defeated his adoptive father in one fell swoop and became the number one brave general of the Ao tribe. Now he was defeated without even losing a hair.
The Yu clan despises him, and one can imagine the anger in his heart.
"Only you?" Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes contemptuously, and couldn't help but shake his head. "Let's do this. If you can catch Xianyu's ten moves, I will give you the position of the Great Protector."
——"What's going on with you? You're pushing a woman to die. If you're scared, just say so."
——"I'm scared, I'm afraid I'll slap you to death------"
On the sidelines of the coaching court, Ao Zhong carefully accompanied Lu Xiao, waiting quietly for the competition between the two. Secretly looking at Lu Xiao's nonchalant face, Ao Zhong secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he was not the one who made the move, otherwise his precious godson would probably lose half his life.
He couldn't catch any moves and was knocked back to his original form. Although he was destined to lose in a fight with Xianyu, at least his life would not be in danger and he could be taught a lesson to avoid being so arrogant in the future.
In the field, Xianyu and Ao Zhong have already fought each other.
"The first move!" Following the cold voice, Xianyu's body moved quickly, and he waved a palm, without any fancy, straight towards Osheng's chest.
Looking at Xianyu's slender and thin body with disdain, Aosheng puffed out his chest, planted his horse firmly, and secretly mobilized his internal strength, hoping to use the armor on his chest to directly resist Xianyu's attack, so as to show his strength. He fantasized about Xianyu's attack.
Ao Sheng couldn't help but giggle when he saw Yu's embarrassed figure being bounced back and Lu Xiao's furious expression.
"Bang" followed by a loud noise, Xianyu's palm slapped the armor mercilessly. Osheng's body suddenly flew out like a cannonball, more than ten meters away, and hit the wall hard.
Only then did he stop. What was depressing was that the thick turtle shell was actually embedded in the wall. Even though Aosheng's limbs were dangling, he couldn't break free.
"Are you convinced?" The phantom moved, and Xianyu came to Aosheng in an instant.
"You don't accept it, I wasn't ready yet, so you took action, you're being shameless--" Aosheng waved his limbs, not caring about his ugly appearance, and continued to scream arrogantly.
"Okay, I'll let you out and fight again." As he said this, a snake whip suddenly appeared in Xianyu's hand, and he wrapped it around Aosheng's neck fiercely. With a strong pull, he actually pulled it out by nearly a meter.
He was pulled out of the wall.
"Ahem!" After several uncomfortable dry coughs, Aosheng rubbed his burning and painful neck and thought to himself: "My martial arts is no longer good. Now I can only fight with spells and maybe there is a chance of winning." Thinking, a handle
The water-bending steel fork suddenly appeared in front of him. He muttered a spell silently, and a jet of black water sprayed straight towards Xianyu.
Jumping up gracefully, a pair of huge wings sprouted from Xianyu's back. Under the caress of the moonlight, he stood quietly in the air like an angel. Inadvertently lowering his head, Xianyu found that the land where he was standing had already
It was corroded by the black water into a deep pit, with bubbles churning from time to time, emitting bursts of stench. He couldn't help but frown angrily. He waved his wings, and countless feathers turned into arrows and shot fiercely at Aosheng.
Looking at the rain of arrows in the sky, Aosheng had no choice but to retreat into the turtle shell. But the turtle shell didn't seem to be indestructible. After a while, it was filled with arrows, and he didn't know what Aosheng was inside.
Either dead or alive.
"Okay, okay, Miss Xianyu, just for my sake, let him go," Ao Zhong finally couldn't hold himself back and prayed.
Hearing the sound, Xianyu retracted his wings and slowly landed. In fact, Xianyu did not dare to kill Ao Sheng, not to mention that Lu Xiao did not say anything, just because Ao Sheng was the future leader of the Ao tribe,
It doesn’t mean that you can kill just by killing.
"Sheng'er, Sheng'er." The panicked old man ran to the turtle shell in a few steps and hurriedly pulled out the arrows on it.
"Please be gentle, it hurts!" Aosheng shouted impatiently, venting all his anger on his godfather.
After hearing his son's rebuke, Ao Zhong was not angry, but suddenly felt much more relaxed. At least, this turtle son was still alive.
"It seems that I still overestimated you. You can't even catch one of Xianyu's moves." Lu Xiao walked over and looked at Aosheng with contempt, who was still huddled in his shell. "Xianyu, just
Let him stay in your Xuan Guards for a few days first, and then let him come to see me after he has been trained."
"Yes", Xianyu nodded respectfully in agreement, turned around and said coldly to Aosheng: "Tomorrow you come to the Xuan Guards to find me, Yunzhong Pavilion happens to be short of a janitor recently."
"Okay!" Ao Zhong responded hurriedly without looking at Ao Sheng's livid face, facing the master and servant's retreating figures, but his eyes flashed with resentment.
After sending the father and son away, Lu Xiao returned to his room. The day's melee made him physically and mentally exhausted. Just as he was about to rest, there was another sound of fighting outside the palace door. Without the guard reporting, Lu Xiao had already guessed who the visitor was.
Who.
"Today's Yunzhong Pavilion is really lively. It's been a long time, so I should talk to you." Lu Xiao curled his lips contemptuously, with a disdainful smile on his handsome face, and walked out slowly.
