Chapter nine hundred and ninety-eight the temple is small and windy
Chuanling City spans hundreds of miles, with mountains, rivers and rivers all within it. Looking at the dangerous land of Lingnan, which is hundreds of millions of miles away, it is nothing, but it is one of the largest exchanges in and out of Lingnan, so it appears to be extremely prosperous.
At this time, in the elegant room on the top floor of Wangxiang Tower, the most luxurious building in the city, the table was full of delicacies, wine and delicacies. Although there were only three people, two men and one woman, the food on the table was not touched much.
"Brother Luo, our ancestors have been friends for generations. I won't hide it from you, brother. Now my Cao family is being coveted by many parties in Chuanling City and is looking for allies. If brother Luo is willing to contact the family to help, I will be grateful.
If not, everyone in the Cao family will definitely owe you a favor!"
One of them, a young man with a handsome face and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, about twenty years old, was chatting eloquently. He picked up a glass of wine and invited a handsome and slightly delicate young man opposite him.
"Brother, didn't you agree not to talk about these things? Brother Luo Qing has come all the way and is only here for a short stay. He is about to travel far away in the near future. How can he get involved in such things?"
The only woman sitting together was about twenty-eight years old, with an unparalleled beauty, beautiful eyes full of spring, and a smile that seemed both angry and joyful, which was very heartwarming.
"Brother Cao Ye and sister Xiangqin, we feel like old friends at the first sight. If something happens, I will help you to the best of my ability. But you also know that I am only a descendant of a branch of the Luo family. How can I make the decision on such matters that are related to the family's grand plans?"
?”
The handsome young man smiled bitterly.
If anyone hears this, they will definitely be surprised, because the man and woman here are the fourth son and fifth daughter of the Cao family in Chuanling City. The man, Cao Ye, is now twenty-one years old, but he is already a peak master.
The girl is seventeen years old, her name is Cao Xiangqin, and she is his biological sister.
Throughout the ages, no matter whether it is a high-ranking family or a famous family, the concubine has a low status. Even if the talent is extraordinary, he is usually a direct vassal. Even if the eldest family has an extraordinary status, it is still the same.
But even so, the status of the person who can sit across from him and drink must be extraordinary. From what the brother and sister said, this handsome young man is clearly a descendant of the same family, and throughout China, there are many famous Luo families.
It is also the Luo family whose ancestral home is in Luohe, Song Dynasty!
"Brother Luo has such accomplishments at such a young age. He must be highly valued within the clan, and he is probably still under the clan's attention. If you are willing to speak out and help me, you will definitely be able to help me!"
Cao Ye glared at his sister cryptically and said sincerely.
"Brother Cao wants to take advantage of this time when all parties are targeting the Cao family and suppressing it to seek authority for himself so that he can return to his ancestral land and practice cultivation, right?"
Luo Qing raised his eyebrows as if he was worried.
"Brother Qing!"
Cao Xiangqin's pretty face turned pale.
"Brother Luo is really smart, I knew I couldn't hide it from you!"
Cao Ye's expression froze, he drank a glass of wine fiercely, and said fiercely, "Brother Luo and I are in similar situations, but there are also differences. You are a direct descendant of the Luo family's side branch, and I am a concubine, but there are differences in each generation.
The number of places eligible to return to the ancestral land and clan to practice is limited.
I think my talent is among the top five in the Chuanling Cao family, but this time... ugh!"
"I understand what Brother Cao said, but I may not be able to persuade the elders in the clan with my humble words. Moreover...the two places are hundreds of millions of miles apart. Water from far away cannot quench the thirst of those nearby. How can I help?"
Luo Qing sighed.
"Brother, just help me!"
The disappointment in Cao Ye's eyes was gone, and he suddenly burst into joy and said, "As Brother Luo, even just an order from the elders of the clan to form an alliance is enough to greatly increase my status in the clan. It will also intimidate Xiaoxiao and help my Cao family survive this crisis."
After all these difficulties, there is hope for my brother to return to his ancestral home!"
"It's a big deal, let me think about it!"
Luo Qing frowned and thought for a while.
"Okay, okay, you should think carefully. It's just a sure letter that a brother needs to give to his brother!"
Cao Ye said hurriedly.
"Three days, no matter how fast it is, if I use secret techniques to send a message to the clan, it will still take three days!"
Luo Qing muttered.
"Okay, it's only three days. I'll thank you in advance for my brother. I won't say thank you for your kindness!"
Cao Ye raised his glass to express his thanks.
Luo Qing couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the two brothers and sisters, so he had to drink several drinks and said he was too drunk to say goodbye.
In fact, as a pinnacle grandmaster, it is just an excuse to drink too much. But instead of being unhappy at all, the two brothers and sisters sent each other off warmly and made an appointment to meet again in three days. After all, the sooner Luo Qing goes back, the sooner he can
Contact the clan.
"This is the treatment a family member should have. He is only a master, but he has a retinue from the Great Sword Sect!"
Watching Luo Qing leave with an expressionless young man in his thirties, Cao Ye sighed with envy.
"Brother, if you plot against Brother Luo Qing like this, in the future..."
Cao Xiangqin's beautiful eyes were full of reluctance, and she turned around and said angrily after a long time.
"Humph, isn't this for your own good?"
Cao Ye snorted heavily and looked at his sister with a puzzled face, hating that iron could not make steel, "Brother Luo Qing is young, his cultivation level is similar to mine, and his energy is restrained and unpretentious. This is his own martial arts."
There are signs of success. Even if you don't find opportunities outside, after returning to the clan, the ancestral clan will definitely arrange a place to break through. His future achievements will be limitless. If your brother cannot enter the ancestral clan, how can you stay with him?
Flying together?"
"elder brother!"
Cao Xiangqin's pretty face turned pale at first, but when she heard the last part, she stamped her feet in annoyance, and looked at the handsome figure walking away, and she gradually became crazy!
He was just an infatuated person who cared about his beloved brother, but he didn't notice the flash of guilt in his brother's eyes.
"Sister, I'm not ruthless as my brother. You can't control such a talented person, so how can you decide on your own marriage? Even you are the same... Only I can take a step forward.
Only by entering the ancestral clan and gaining more say in the Cao family can we truly..."
Cao Ye clenched his fist slightly, and the guilty look in his eyes turned into determination.
…
Luo Qing, who was heading to his temporary residence, naturally didn't know what the two brothers and sisters were thinking. They just walked a little faster than usual. If the Luo family brothers and sisters saw this, they would not suspect anything and would only think that Luo Qing was heartbroken.
It's a matter of appointment.
"I dare to ask, but Master Luo Qing, my young master wants to invite you!"
But before we arrived at the residence, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a big smile on his face, who looked like a neighbor's foreign minister in a brocade robe, respectfully handed over a gold-plated invitation with the word Cao clearly written on it.
But even though this person was asking questions, his tone and actions already confirmed the identity of the real owner.
"I drank too much today and am not feeling well. Please ask the butler to inform the young master of the Cao family that he will pay a visit in the coming day!"
Luo Qing did not hesitate because the other party was just summoning someone, and he handed him over politely.
"this……"
The fat middle-aged man in brocade robes stiffened his face. He was about to say a few words, but when he saw the young swordsman behind Luo Qing, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and he scanned the surroundings with a frightening light in his tiger eyes, and he suddenly felt in his heart
He winced, smiled apologetically, and left, "Young Master's health is in critical condition. I will reply to my master right now."
Luo Qing watched the brocade-robed middle-aged man go away, and continued to move forward with the young swordsman's retinue. But not far away, another man dressed similarly blocked the way. He sent the same number of invitations, also from the Cao family.
Just like before, Luo Qing declined due to physical illness, and the other party was not angry or forced.
But this is not over yet. There are no fewer than five or six groups of people along the way, all acting like this, as if they just came to say hello and look familiar.
When they got to the nearby residence and saw no one blocking the way to deliver the invitation, Luo Qing and the young swordsman's entourage did not relax. They secretly checked the surroundings with their spiritual consciousness. After confirming that they were only being followed but not threatening, they walked into the magnificent inn.
The inn occupies a large area, with many small courtyards with beautiful scenery and a spirit gathering array. It is like spring all year round, which is not only great for viewing, but also helpful for cultivation.
Although the price is high, it is nothing to the children of Luo Qing and other aristocratic families.
Without even needing to show his waistband, he was welcomed into the back hall by the attentive waiter. When he was finally rewarded with spiritual stones, he left with many thanks.
But no one saw it. The two of them turned a corner and arrived in front of the adjacent courtyard.
Without waiting for a knock on the door, the door opened on its own, revealing a gentle middle-aged face. As if he had been waiting for a long time, he welcomed the two people into the room without asking.
In the elegant courtyard, there were a total of five people including those who opened the door. Although they were old and young, they were obviously headed by the young man with a warm smile but an air of majesty that was impressive.
"Brother!"
The young man named Luo Qing showed excitement in his eyes and bowed his head.
The young swordsman walked aside expressionlessly, as if he was already used to it, because it was Wu Ming and others who were in this business!
And Luo Qing is Qingzhu in disguise, and he is the sword slave-Lu Tianchi!
"Okay, okay, no need to be polite!"
Wu Ming waved his hand with a smile, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Looking at your journey, it doesn't look like it's going well!"
"Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of my elder brother!"
Qingzhu smiled shyly and said with a hint of embarrassment, "If it weren't for my elder brother's detailed guidance, the identity of this family member would have been exposed long ago!"
"Why!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile, "Some things cannot be learned, but are innate."
Qingzhu's smile was slightly stiff, and his handsome face looked slightly gloomy as he lowered his head.
"There are some things that if you don't want to ask about, they will come to you one day!"
Wu Ming was very thoughtful and his words were profound.
"Brother, I don't want to look for it, just let nature take its course!"
Qingzhu said dullly.
"That's fine!"
Wu Ming nodded slightly and did not discuss this topic further.
In fact, Qingzhu's extraordinary talent has already aroused Wu Ming's suspicion. He is definitely not an ordinary beggar. His handsome face is enough to fascinate thousands of girls. Even Wu Ming is jealous. How can he be an ordinary person?
Can it come out?
Not to mention, those pair of eyes are really like the sun, moon and stars, and combined with the tall and straight bones of martial arts, even Sang Jingjing, who has been teaching him for many years, is amazed, and even attracts the god Sang Zhong to want to accept him as his disciple.
However, Qingzhu has always been worried about being abandoned and doesn't want to find out more about his life experience!
But if he wants to pursue his life experience, Wu Ming will happily agree and will never tie him to his side. He will even help him with all his strength. Even the gangsters and thieves who were subdued halfway can tolerate him to end his own karma, not to mention this person who has watched him since he was a child.
Where is the little brother who has grown up?
"Tell me about the current situation of the Cao family!"
Wu Ming changed the subject.
Qingzhu collected his thoughts and explained the current situation of the Cao family in detail.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming smiled and said mockingly, "It's really a small temple, but the wind is strong and the water is shallow." (To be continued)
