This is what cultivating immortals is like

In Changming Mansion, the crowd was like a dragon.

Lu Beiwang shook his head. The emperor was overly worried. There were no wild bees or butterflies in front of the eldest princess's house, only a group of licking dogs queuing up to give money.

The last time he came to Changming Mansion, he walked through the wall, and this time was no exception. He stayed true to his original intention and climbed in through the familiar road.

It’s not about pursuing excitement, but it’s about worrying about being criticized for being negative.

If he walked in through the gate openly, took a photo of a 10-tael silver note and met the eldest princess, what would the licking dogs who queue up every day think about this?

No need to think about it, everyone knows that the eldest princess is raising a pretty boy.

Furthermore, cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents. Today, the dog lickers are waking up from a dream, and tomorrow the emperor will issue an order to dismiss him from office and investigate.

It's too risky to go through the door, but it's more reliable to climb over the wall.

Clang, Clang, Clang————

In the courtyard inside the wall, phantom formations and killing formations were activated one after another, but within a moment, dead soldiers came with swords.

"Hey, the formation has been upgraded. What's going on? Is it possible that some powerful thieves are interested in Changming Mansion recently?"

Lu Bei took three steps and two steps at a time, walked out of the illusion formation easily, and faced the cold front, smiling slightly and not caring.

Who are you trying to scare? He came with an imperial edict.

About half tea time, Butler Yu arrived quietly, dismissed the guards, and led Lu Bei to find Zhu Qilan.

"Why do you always find other ways and never leave the good door?" Butler Yu complained.

"It's not for the sake of my cousin's reputation. I walked in through the front door with this face, but there was no movement for three to five hours. I left through the back door after dark. What would others think if word spread?" Lu Bei said matter-of-factly.

Climbing over the wall is not worse!

Butler Yu cursed in his heart, knowing that bickering was no match for Lu Bei, so he simply said nothing and just lowered his head and led the way.

Yu wants to be quiet but the land does not stop.

Lu Bei was full of suspicions about the imperial edict, so he would not let go of an intelligence agent captured alive. Along the way, Barabala wore down Butler Yu's will and pried out an important piece of information from her mouth.

Zhu Qilan went to the capital to pay his respects in his later years and had just returned.

After combing through the clues in his mind, Lu Bei roughly understood the reasons for the promotion and salary increase.

The secret realm of Sishen Lake saved Zhu Qilan's life, which was a meritorious service.

As for the outrageous talk in the secret letter, it was even simpler. His qualifications were rare in this world, which shocked the emperor. He quickly threw out his sister who was under pressure, trying to recruit him into the royal family.

And because of Zhu Qilan's tough character, he was used as the output and the active party.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Lu Bei felt disdainful and felt insulted...

He has always been passive.

…

In the quiet room, Zhu Qilan sat cross-legged, with the phantom of a white tiger appearing behind him.

During her trip to the Secret Realm of Sishen Lake, she first obtained the treasure left by the White Tiger, and then used Zhiyuan's hands to explore the magical power of the Void Refining Realm. Her cultivation has been steady and progressing, and she has initially mastered the use of the power of heaven and earth.

With this opportunity, the road to spiritual cultivation becomes smooth and the speed of cultivation is beyond the reach of all so-called geniuses.

Even so, Zhu Qilan still felt that it was too slow. Every time he thought of the tragic situation of Zhiyuan falling into the golden net, unable to fight back, he felt an indescribable restlessness in his heart.

The mechanism outside the quiet room was turned on. Zhu Qilan stopped practicing, exhaling turbid air from his mouth, frowning slightly without opening his eyes: "What else are you doing here?"

"I don't want to come either, but there are orders from above asking me to come and visit from time to time." Lu Bei replied with a shrug.

Zhu Qilan was silent after hearing this. Lu Bei came on the order of the emperor's brother. She had already guessed this, and the capital's confirmation confirmed her guess.

Although the emperor's brother repeatedly emphasized that he would not force her to get married, but...

Since you don't intend to force it, why do you keep mentioning it, mentioning it and emphasizing it repeatedly?

Then there is the relationship between Huang Ji Zong and the central royal family. His father pointed out that marriage is a good thing and will be of great benefit to the royal family. The emperor's younger brother said that it was a shame that the old man was old and dim, and that a former emperor knew nothing about politics.

Father and brother, two generations of kings, which one understands Wuzhou's national conditions better?

From Zhu Qilan's point of view, this issue is not a problem at all. To be honest, speaking of politics, the emperor's younger brother is barely qualified to carry his father's shoes.

Thinking about the key, Zhu Qilan had mixed feelings in her heart. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but she didn't have enough confidence.

A member of the royal family is well clothed and well-fed since birth, and everything is the best.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Personal will must obey the clan as a whole. When you are asked to sacrifice, you must sacrifice.

To put it bluntly, the royal family is the ultimate version of a cultivating immortal family.

For example, the emperors of the Wu Zhou Dynasty never met the queen before their wedding, and their relationship was established later. Besides, the situation of the imperial concubine and other concubines was generally similar.

Even, a certain emperor did not like the second-ranking concubine in the harem, and wanted to demote her concubine title and promote his favorite concubine, but was unable to do so due to clan obstruction.

It can be said that the interests of family marriage are extremely involved, and even a powerful emperor cannot change it at will.

Zhu Qilan, who successfully rejected his first marriage, could not escape the result of being kicked out of the capital even though he had the qualifications that come only once in a century. He was kicked out of the capital by his clan and was given a fief to support himself.

This is the second time now...

The power between the royal family and the Huangji Sect was like fire and water. Zhu Qilan was helpless. The only thing she could do was to agree to the marriage. However, she had always been opposed to marriage. After thinking about it, she chose to lie down and let everything take its course.

To put it simply, she had given up the struggle and let Lu Bei make his own move. If the latter performed up to standard, she would accept the marriage by default.

Okay, I'm sick again!

Zhu Qilan's silence, in Lu Bei's view, was a sign of the onset of the princess' disease. He took the initiative to speak: "Cousin, you first entered the Void Refining Realm. It is the critical moment to stabilize the realm. Don't go out easily. What's the problem at hand? Even if you leave the task to me, I will work hard to complete it for you."

He came to Changming Mansion today just to find Zhu Qilan to verify the profound meaning of the imperial edict. Now that he has concluded the correct conclusion, he will not talk nonsense.

But as the saying goes, it’s already here, so it’s better to wait, maybe the ruthless task release machine will light up again.

"There are some minor things that don't require your intervention."

Zhu Qilan paused, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Bei: "Come and sit down, help me practice."

"Yes, yes, but I'm in a hurry, so I agreed first that I would only practice for an hour." Lu Bei frowned and came behind Zhu Qilan, sat down cross-legged, and placed his palms on his back.

The light on the task issuing machine is not on. It was a waste of time today. It’s a loss.

The two people were running their skills, and their breaths were connected quickly. In the frosty white mist, the two hazy white tigers merged into one in the fight. After a moment, the white tigers split into two and returned to Lu Bei and Zhu Qilan's bodies.

[Diligence can make up for weakness, if you practice hard, Taiyin Killing Power will be improved, keep up the good work]

Lu Bei: "..."

Seeing that the experience of the 'Taiyin Killing Power Dao' techniques and skills was constantly being refreshed, and the 'White Tiger Evil' was also slowly rising with the help of Gengjin Qi, he took back his previous words and added another hour.

Butler Yu, who stood silently beside him, felt that she was out of place and just a little transparent. But as the two of them jointly performed the exercises and their auras were closely connected, she was shocked to realize that she was not out of place, and sooner or later she would join in.

Your Highness actually practiced dual cultivation with this person?

When did it happen, how long has it been, how come she doesn’t know?

Is this still His Highness?

The impact was too sudden and too strong. Butler Yu screamed in fright, hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and quietly exited the quiet room.

The stone door slowly closed, with a pretty face still filled with disbelief, and the look he looked at Lu Bei was quite strange.

This is a double cultivation. When do you two plan to get married, or should you delay it again?

As Zhu Qilan's personal maid, Butler Yu grew up in the palace and was deeply aware of the important responsibilities he shouldered. Especially after marrying his master, he was by no means just a vase ornament.

The crucial third person in the world of two.

For example, Zhu Qilan was practicing in seclusion, or Zhu Qilan was pregnant. At this time, it was her turn to step forward.

She had always thought that Zhu Qilan would never marry. After all, his vow was just as true. She never thought that His Highness was just talking about how quickly he should strike when he met someone he liked.

ε=(ο｀*))

As a maid, Zhu Qilan's choice was her choice, and she thought about having to change her attitude towards Lu Bei in the future. Otherwise, if she is being petty and makes her wear small shoes every day and scolds and scolds her at every turn, her life will not be easy.

There is another question, these two are practicing together in the quiet room, and the young heroes who are waiting eagerly at the door, will they still accept the gifts?

Just accept it, the truth will affect the reputation of the eldest princess.

Don't take it. It would be very distressing if you don't take the money you picked up for free.

After thinking for three seconds, Butler Yu decided to raise the price.

Before the two of them died, Zhu Qilan's belly was flat, and he could earn as much as he could.

Looking at Lu Bei's clothes and appearance, you can tell that this person has an average family background, has no wealth, and will most likely get married. Now that he can make more money, His Highness will be more confident, and he will be able to speak louder at home in the future.

…

Time flew by and two hours were over.

Lu Bei stopped exercising and slowly retracted his palm: "The efficiency is the highest in the first moment, and then gradually declines. What about you, is the situation the same as mine?"

Zhu Qilan nodded.

"In that case, I'll try again tomorrow. If it's still the same, we will only practice for an hour every day." Lu Bei stood up, moved his hands and feet, and prepared to fly into the sky.

Zhu Qilan was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Lu Bei was about to leave, he frowned and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. I have something to inform you."

"What's the matter?"

"The Elders of the Emperor's Sect misunderstood your relationship and thought that you were my... subordinate. On the grounds of your meritorious service in rescuing Sishen Lake, I promoted you to be the leader..."

"You agreed!"

Lu Bei was overjoyed and quickly interjected.

"Why agree?"

Zhu Qilan was surprised. Lu Bei was the Qingwei of the Xuanyin Division. It was impossible for the Huangji Sect not to find out. No matter from which angle you looked at it, promoting him to be the leader was full of conspiracy.

"It's my turn to say this, why don't you agree?"

Lu Bei's face changed in a second: "What do you think? I traveled thousands of miles to come to you, isn't that just for this!"

Zhu Qilan: "..."

As an ancestor of the Zhu family, if this marriage fails and affects the royal family's political power, please don't blame her.
