Drunken Swordsman: You have betrayed your master, who will still pamper you?

Chapter 70: How come I'm meeting my father-in-law?

During the meal, Qin Lie looked at Lu Ran with increasingly strange eyes.

While eating, Qin Wuyao excitedly picked up various dishes for Lu Ran and introduced them to him.

He even watched Lu Ran's reactions as he tasted the various dishes.

Maybe Qin Wuyao herself didn't realize that at this point, the reason she followed Lu Ran was no longer simply because Lu Ran was the blessed fate that Yu Jizi mentioned.

As the Immortal Qin Emperor, Qin Lie sees things more clearly.

"Lu Ran, I wonder which sect you are from? And how do you know my Yaoyao?" Qin Lie asked with a smile.

The tone sounded calm, but the scrutinizing look always made Lu Ran feel oppressed as if he was meeting a parent for the first time.

"I was originally a disciple of Daluo Sword Sect, but later... later I withdrew from Daluo Sword Sect." Lu Ran said awkwardly.

Qin Lie was stunned. He racked his brains but couldn't remember which force the Daluo Sword Sect was.
This is normal. A sect of the size of Daluo Sword Sect would naturally not be able to catch Qin Lie's attention.

But it doesn’t matter. Since Lu Ran has already withdrawn from the Daluo Sword Sect, he has nothing to do with the Daluo Sword Sect anymore.

"What about now? Which force are you working for?" Qin Lie continued to ask.

"I'm not from any particular force, but I've been serving as a guest official in the Jiuli Holy Land recently. If Jiuli is in trouble, I'd like to help." Lu Ran said truthfully.

It's not that he didn't want to make up a story, but there was no need to. Moreover, in front of Qin Lie, the strange feeling of meeting his father-in-law for the first time made it impossible for Lu Ran to lie.

Hearing this, Qin Lie was stunned.

A guest from the Jiuli Holy Land?

Although Qin Lie was not familiar with Jiuli, it was, after all, a holy land as famous as Yaochi, and its requirements for guest officials were extremely strict.

An ordinary person at the Spiritual Transformation Realm simply cannot be considered worthy of the Jiuli Holy Land's attention.

But who would have thought that Lu Ran, who looked young, could actually be recognized by Jiuli?

Doesn’t this mean that Lu Ran has even surpassed most people in the Spirit Transformation Realm in some aspects?
In addition, although he was born with blocked meridians, he still cultivated to the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This kid... is really extraordinary!
But the ability is enough, what about the character?
This is a matter of personal opinion and cannot be answered in a few words, so in Qin Lie's mind, character is a temporary issue.

Qin Wuyao was so stupid that she didn't realize Qin Lie's intention. She pouted and said, "Dad, what are you doing? My friend finally came here once, and you're asking all kinds of questions."

“Ahem…” Qin Lie coughed dryly and said, “Just chatting, just chatting.”

He couldn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report.

"The demons are gathering again and attacking the ancient bronze gate. Their numbers are increasing."

Hearing this, Qin Lie frowned.

"Why did they gather again in such a short time? Did this demon tribe take the wrong medicine?"

He hesitated for a few seconds.

He ordered, “Call the four marquises to come and see me.”

Qin Wuyao, who was beside him, came back just for this matter and was immediately attracted by his attention.

He asked, "The demon race attacked the ancient bronze door and was killed by the seal. Could it be that the seal has failed?"

Qin Lie sighed and shook his head, saying, "Alas, although the seal has been weakened compared to the ancient times, the killing effect is still the same. I don't know if the Dihuang monster tribe took the wrong medicine or what, they are so fearless!"

That was what happened yesterday.

A large number of demons attacked the seal, and large numbers of them died. The demons were risking their lives to attack the ancient bronze door!

But it also reduced the strength of the seal. The seal of the ancient bronze door could replenish itself, but it could not keep up with the speed of consumption by the monsters. A large number of monsters died, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The seal was also consumed.

Yesterday afternoon, the seal was ultimately unable to stop the endless consumption of the demon clan, and a breach appeared!
A large number of demons broke the seal and came out!

This is the first time in thousands of years that the demon race has broken the seal on a large scale!

Although the ancient bronze door quickly repaired itself and re-sealed the barrier, hundreds of thousands of demons still rushed out.

Xian Qin has been guarding the ancient bronze gate for so many years, but there are not many soldiers who have the opportunity to fight against the demon clan from generation to generation.

The army was caught off guard and attacked by the demons, and a melee began.

Finally, the four marquises of Xian Qin led the army to support and killed all the monsters that rushed out.

But Xian Qin also suffered heavy casualties!

I didn't expect that in such a short time, the demon tribe would start to gather again.

"In this case, don't say whether I, the Immortal Qin, can withstand it. The ancient bronze door has been in ruins after countless years. If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid the ancient bronze door will collapse completely. By then, the Dihuang demon clan will no longer have any obstacles!" Qin Lie said with a worried look on his face.

"Then let's set off quickly! We must not let the monsters escape!" Qin Wuyao shouted anxiously.

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Qin Lie raised his eyebrows. "By the way, why aren't you in Tianji Tower recently? What are you doing wandering around outside?"

Qin Wuyao scratched her head.

"My master asked me to go down the mountain, and don't you know what happened between Jiuli and Huangquan recently?"

Qin Lie looked confused and said, "I don't know. Xian Qin never gets involved in the mess between the holy places. What's going on? Is the holy place going to go to war?"

Qin Lie was just joking, but after he finished speaking, he found that Qin Wuyao had a strange look on her face.

He was startled and asked with wide eyes: "Are you really going to fight?"

Qin Wuyao shrugged and said, "You guessed it right. Huangquan Holy Land has even issued a challenge."

Then, he briefly recounted what had happened.

After hearing this, Qin Lie was also shocked: "The Holy Lady of Huangquan was actually killed? Good fellow, who is so fierce that he dares to kill the Holy Lady of Huangquan? It is reasonable for Huangquan to suspect Jiuli."

Hearing this, Qin Wuyao glanced at Lu Ran, who looked embarrassed.

Qin Lie saw that the two were acting strangely, looked at Lu Ran suspiciously, and asked, "What's going on? Do you know?"

Lu Ran quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Fortunately, Qin Lie was not interested in continuing this topic. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, ignore them. If Jiuli and Huangquan start fighting, Yaochi will definitely help. It is reasonable for you to help, but the Holy Lord of Huangquan is not someone you can easily mess with. Daughter, you must be careful!"

Qin Wuyao nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I know my limits."

Qin Lie said angrily, "You have no sense of propriety. You wander around all day long. Don't you know how dangerous it is? Don't get involved in this matter today. Go back."

Hearing this, Qin Wuyao immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Ah, you're sending me away now. Just now you said you haven't seen your precious daughter for a long time."

"How can it be the same? The Dihuang demon tribe is rioting. If the ancient bronze door really collapses, I may not be able to survive, let alone you." Qin Lie retorted: "But it should be fine for the time being. If you want to join in the fun, come with me to see it. After you see it, hurry back."

Lu Ran watched the father and daughter bickering, his eyes full of envy.

This reminded him of Su Yueling.

He was an orphan before he traveled through time. When he traveled to Jiuzhou, Su Yueling brought him up. Unfortunately...

Just as he was thinking about it, four middle-aged men in armor walked towards him majestically outside the hall.

These four people are the Four Marquises of Xian Qin!
