Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth appointment
Chapter 274: Keeping an Appointment
"No! It's just that Ling Tu looks a lot like an old friend of mine whom I haven't seen for a long time." The strange color in Nangong Fairy's eyes disappeared, and her cold eyes returned.
These words made Han Li feel a little bitter in his heart.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Li Huayuan said with a smile and looked at Han Li again. However, Han Li's face was as calm as water, showing no signs of anything strange.
After the other monks looked at each other, although they all showed their original expressions, how much they really believed this, but only God knows!
Fairy Nangong also knew that this statement was difficult to win people's trust, but she walked away without the slightest excuse. The remaining people looked at Han Li meaningfully for a few times before bidding farewell to Li Huayuan and his wife.
The smile on Li Huayuan's face gradually disappeared after seeing off all the guests. He frowned, turned to Han Li and said lightly:
"Come into the house with me, I have something to ask you!"
Seeing this, Han Li groaned secretly in his heart and had no choice but to agree. The young lady, the master's wife, comforted Han Li with a few words and then entered the room.
When Han Li walked into the living room, Li Huayuan was sitting on a chair, looking thoughtful. The young woman was sitting next to him.
"Do you know Nangong Wan from the Yanyue Sect?" Li Huayuan stopped thinking when he saw Han Li walking in front of him, and asked directly without any hesitation.
Han Li listened in silence for a while, and considered it several times in his mind. Knowing that Nangong Wan's strange situation seemed to have all fallen into this person's eyes, and there was no way he could deal with it, he had no choice but to nod his head and admit:
"This disciple has indeed had a relationship with Master Nangong!"
Li Huayuan was a little surprised when he heard Han Li admit it so easily, and the expression on his face immediately softened.
"What's going on? Can you tell me?" After hearing Han Li's words, the young woman became curious and asked. Just now, Nangong Wan denied knowing Han Li, but now the apprentice said
You know, there must be some story in this.
After hearing what his wife said, Li Huayuan nodded and looked at Han Li, seemingly also wanting to know the whole story.
"Master, forgive me, because this matter involves some personal matters of Uncle Nangong, and the disciple has promised never to leak this matter, please forgive me, Master!" Han Li had already prepared an honest reason, very
He declined politely.
After hearing Han Li's words, Li Huayuan and his wife were greatly surprised. After looking at each other, Li Huayuan thought for a while and said slowly, as if he was considering:
"Since you have agreed to the other party, I cannot let you break your trust. However, I would like to remind you that it is better for you to have less contact with Fairy Nangong! You must know that the people of the Biyue Sect are very good at charming, and I am a real teacher.
I was afraid that you might have fallen into the other party's trap unknowingly, and you were still unaware. But now that you are clear-headed and speak clearly, I feel relieved as a teacher."
When Han Li heard this, he felt relieved and quickly said yes.
When Li Huayuan saw Han Li's expression of respect and respect for his teacher, the last trace of unhappiness in his heart disappeared. He even pointed out some problems in Han Li's cultivation in a friendly manner. Han Li naturally listened attentively and refused to let it go.
Any words from Li Huayuan.
After a while, Li Huayuan casually asked Han Li a few questions about his experience in cultivation. He was quite satisfied with his answers and suddenly said something unexpected.
"Han Li, my teacher has a personal matter for you to handle. Are you willing?"
"Private matter?"
Han Li was stunned for a moment, but he immediately agreed:
"Master, if you have something to do, just ask, and the disciples should try their best to complete it!"
Li Huayuan was very pleased with Han Li's attitude without hesitation. After standing up and walking around the room for two steps, he said to him in a deep voice:
"Actually, it's not that dangerous! I just asked you to be a bodyguard for a while and help me protect the safety of a family!"
"Bodyguard, protector?" Han Li was a little stunned, but he still listened to Li Huayuan's words calmly.
"Actually, I originally wanted your fourth senior brother Song Meng to go, but recently, I occasionally heard people talking about you killing many demonic monks. This really surprised me and your senior wife! I didn't expect that I, Li Huayuan,
There is actually a fierce man coming out of the sect, and I heard that even people from the other six sects often talk about this matter! In this way, naturally I feel more at ease if you go!" Li Huayuan said with a smile, and it can be seen that he was at this moment.
I'm in a very good mood.
The young woman on the side also said with a smile:
"In addition, Song Meng has stayed in Green Wave Cave since he was a child and has not experienced the secular world a few times. He is very lacking in human sophistication. Even from this aspect, you must go! After all, the people he wants to protect this time are mortals in the secular world.
.”
After hearing the compliments from Li Huayuan and his wife, Han Li smiled sheepishly, looking shy. However, he was asked to protect mortals. Although Han Li looked normal on the surface, he was still a little confused in his heart.
.
Logically speaking, what kind of danger can a mortal face? Sending any Qi Refining Stage disciple is enough to serve as a bodyguard. Why should he send another Foundation Establishment Stage disciple there?
Perhaps Li Huayuan guessed Han Li's doubts, so he half-explained and half-narrated:
"The person I asked you to protect is a descendant of one of my former senior brothers. He was very kind to me in saving my life. But his only son is a mortal without spiritual roots. He cannot cultivate immortality and can only stay in the secular world. Therefore, in his life,
After his death, I once swore that as long as I live for one day, I will absolutely guarantee the safety, prosperity and wealth of his descendants! Therefore, this family has been rich and prosperous for several generations with my secret support for more than a hundred years.
If it was dangerous, I would have cleaned them up long ago."
Li Huayuan paused for a moment when he said this, as if he was thinking about the past, but then he calmed down and said:
"But I received news a few days ago that people from the Six Demonic Sects may send some low-level disciples into the secular world of their country to cleanse some of the mortals who are secretly supported by our seven sects, in an attempt to combat the secular world's influence on our seven sects.
The supply of ordinary raw materials. And the relationship between this family and me should also be regarded as this category by the magicians, so I need someone who can deal with this storm to protect the safety of this family. Of course, if
It would be better if the demonic people didn't cause trouble for them."
After Han Li listened, he nodded solemnly to express his understanding.
"Okay, I will write a letter to the current head of this family to explain your identity and situation. He is also the only person who knows about my affairs with my ancestors. In addition, I have said hello. You are on the outing duty during this period.
The task is considered, so you don’t have to worry about being punished. And this jade slip contains the detailed information of the family. Take it with you and go back and pack your luggage now. We will set off tomorrow morning, and the later will make a difference!" Li Huayuan finally thought.
After thinking about it, he ordered.
"As ordered!" Han Li bowed and replied softly.
…
Han Li was sitting on a divine wind boat, flying at full speed dozens of feet in the air.
What he was going to now was not the capital city of the Yue Kingdom, Yuedu, where the mortals lived to protect, but he was flying straight towards the Yuanwu Kingdom.
Taking advantage of this free mission, Han Li wanted to go to Qi Yunxiao's appointment to meet and see if the array master could repair the damaged array that was suspected to be an ancient teleportation array.
This is the last resort for him to escape in case the Seven Sects are defeated in the decisive battle. Otherwise, once the Six Demonic Sects are free, he will have to spend the rest of his life under the siege and suppression by the demonic people all day long, and there will be no time.
Carry out practice.
Han Li estimated that if there were no accidents during this round trip, just over twenty days would be enough, and it would not delay Li Huayuan's mission at all, so he went with such confidence.
Qi Yunxiao and Han Li met at a teahouse in a small town in Yuanwu Kingdom.
According to what he said, the teahouse was opened by one of his servants, so when Han Li found this place, he was able to contact Qi Yunxiao.
Han Li was traveling at a fast pace. Even if he met a few monks by chance, he would pass them by without any intention of chatting. After flying around day and night for seven or eight days, Han Li finally arrived at the place called
A small place in "Golden Horse City".
In order not to cause a commotion, Han Li put away his magic weapon a few miles away from the small city, landed on it, and then walked slowly toward the city gate.
Although this Golden Horse City is not big, there are people coming and going at the city gate. There are many people coming in and out, and it looks quite prosperous.
Han Li had an ordinary appearance, and his clothes had already been changed into a half-worn Confucian robe. He was inconspicuous among the people entering the city, so he entered the city along with the flow of people.
This teahouse is quite famous. Han Li randomly found a child and asked about the location of "Qingquan Teahouse". He easily got what he wanted to know and walked over.
Of course, when Han Li stood in front of the so-called "Qingquan Tea House", he looked at it with great interest.
