So Liu Yuan looked at Zou Zishi with a very complicated look. To sum it up, it's probably "Who are you, what are you doing, is it really okay for you to be like this?" It's not that I look down on you, but you are really a weakling and I am worried about your safety. "..." The feelings that Zou Zishi felt from this are difficult for outsiders to understand. He gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of look is that! Don't you even know the etiquette of calling each other by name? Shuiyuewu is a dignified immortal sect and we don't welcome people like you who are cruel and violent, who kill and frame others at will and have no moral integrity at all!" There was also a voice responding nearby. "Yes, Senior Brother Yue is such a good man. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman. Whether it's his family background, character, or cultivation, everything about him is top-notch. Why would he go undercover as a demon cult agent?" "Before Senior Brother Yue left, he said he would bring back some mortal specialties, but I didn't expect him to be gone forever..." "Yes, he is usually gentle to others and often helps his fellow disciples. How could he be an undercover agent of the Demon Cult?"
"I'm afraid this guy is the undercover agent of the Demon Cult. Senior Sister Ning must have been cursed or threatened by him." These voices, either whispering or shouting, emerged one after another, praising Yue Longzhang to the sky and trampling Liu Yuan to the ground, comparable to the 50-cent army of water soldiers in previous lives. It even made Liu Yuan doubt that Ma Shu's rumor offensive was ineffective. But after looking around and seeing that they were all wearing inner sect clothing and the leader was still this Zou Zishi, I pretty much understood. The people this guy invited to welcome Ning Xiangrong were all from Yue Longzhang's faction. No good intentions... He wants to create psychological pressure first. It is unlikely that Yue Longzhang can turn the tables. He should want to confirm Liu Yuan's reputation of murder and frame-up? But how could Liu Yuan be afraid, because he was framed in the first place. "Alright, alright, be quiet. The evidence is irrefutable that Yue Longzhang is an undercover agent of the Demon Cult. The trial is the business of the Law Enforcement Hall. How can you interfere?" A tall middle-aged man suddenly pushed through the crowd and walked out, frowning and stopping everyone. He was tall and strong, with a bronze complexion and a square face that looked very serious. He said respectfully to Ning Xiangrong, "Miss, the owner of the dock is waiting." Ning Xiangrong's expression softened a little, and she said, "Master Zhong, thank you for your help." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Working for the young lady is like working for Shuiyuewu. It is my duty. There is no need to be so reserved, young lady." He turned to look at Liu Yuan, smiled and bowed, saying: "I think this is my son-in-law." Before Liu Yuan could speak, Zou Zishi beside him could not help but ask, "Senior Sister Ning and him haven't even started dating yet, and Hall Master Zhong has taken a stand already?" Hall Master Zhong raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a sword, and looked at Zou Zishi: "You are just a junior, what qualifications do you have to speak like this in front of me? Even if your father is the Great Elder, you have to consider the weight of the Law Enforcement Hall." He is another one of those with connections, and his father is the great elder. No wonder he is so arrogant. Liu Yuan complained in his heart. He couldn't get a word in the current situation and felt that the current conflicts in Shuiyuewu were more serious than he had imagined.
It turned out that a thousand-mile dam was breached by a single ant hole. The already accumulated open and secret struggles were ignited by Yue Longzhang's fuse. Although Zou Zishi was also afraid of the Law Enforcement Hall, he was most reluctant to give in in public, so he said, "I am just telling the truth. Isn't that what Hall Master Zhong meant?" Master Zhong sneered and said, "Where does the talk of position come from? It was the owner who asked the eldest lady to bring her son-in-law over to take a look. Do you dare to question the owner's decision?" Zou Zishi clenched his fists and said, "The owner of the dock has always favored Senior Sister Ning. She would agree with whatever she wants. But Liu Yuan is the one who killed Senior Brother Yue. He might have asked Ma Shu to fabricate the evidence. How can he be allowed to enter Shuiyue Dock so easily?!" Master Zhong said impatiently: "That is not your business. For Elder Zou's sake, I have been patient enough. If you continue to block me, I will just take action." Zou Zishi glared at Liu Yuan, who looked like an innocent victim. He even reached out and held Ning Xiangrong's hand tightly, which really made him furious. But Zou Zishi was obviously more patient than Yue Longzhang. He took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and said, "Since Hall Master Zhong said so, I have to give face to the Law Enforcement Hall..." He had to find a way out when he left. When the people around him heard what he said, they looked at each other and gradually dispersed. Liu Yuan secretly felt regretful. If the other party had attacked first, he would have been able to take action naturally. But when he was still hesitating whether to open his mouth to mock, Master Zhong sneered and said, "Give face to the Law Enforcement Hall? Can you, a brat, afford it? Have you seen what Yue Longzhang's father is doing now? He is too lazy to even look for Yue Longzhang's body... Yue Zong has only one son and he is still like this, so what about you, Zou Wenrui's adopted son?" Shrimp and pork heart, comrade. He then tried to sow discord, hinting that the Great Elder Zou Wenrui might sacrifice Zou Zishi as a pawn. This might accidentally lead to the emergence of another filial son. Zou Zishi's face was gloomy. He snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves: "My father and I both feel sorry for Senior Brother Yue. We hope to find out the truth of the matter." The corners of Master Zhong's mouth curved downward, and his expression returned to being serious and stern. He extended his hand in a gesture of invitation. Liu Yuan vaguely felt that the water in the small pond in Shuiyuewu was even more muddy than he had imagined. On the one hand, he was the thorn in the side of Second Elder Yue Zong's faction because he killed Yue Longzhang, and was a great help to other factions. On the other hand, Ning Xiangrong regarded him as the husband she must marry in this life, the son-in-law chosen by the owner of the dock, and could even indirectly represent the owner's position, or be the candidate for the next owner of the dock. For a time, whether or not he was the son-in-law became the key point in the factional struggle in Shuiyuewu. Chapter 46 Some people apparently intend to open a harem Liu Yuan and Ning Xiangrong followed the head of the Law Enforcement Hall named Zhong Ling to meet the owner of Shuiyuewu, while Ma Shu, who arrived later, went to the Law Enforcement Hall. As one of the important witnesses, he also needs to cooperate with some finishing work. In fact, it was mainly the people from Yue Zong's side who were causing trouble. They kept harassing Ma Shu, trying to "extract" something from him. They must have tried both coercion and inducement. But how could Mashu say... "A sect of immortal cultivators is treating things like a spy war. When they fight among themselves, everyone is very fierce. When something goes wrong, they only know how to shirk responsibility. No wonder Rongrong is so disgusted with her own sect." Liu Yuan was complaining in his heart. Zhong Ling in front of him had already opened the door of a room on the top of the pavilion and stood aside respectfully: "Miss, son-in-law, please." Ning Xiangrong nodded and pulled Liu Yuan into the room. Liu Yuan couldn't help but look at the hand in his arm, which Ning Xiangrong was holding tightly. Does it really matter? Ning Tingshan, the owner of Shuiyuewu, is a daughter-con and treats Ning Xiangrong like the apple of his eye.
Now he's got me... But from Ning Xiangrong's previous tone, her father didn't seem to care much about it, and even seemed to agree with it. Liu Yuan began to wonder if this was the Hongmen Banquet. Ning Xiangrong noticed his hesitation, leaned over and smiled softly, "It's okay, my father is a man of his word, he has promised that he will not embarrass you, and you dared to steal my clothes while I was bathing, why are you still afraid of my father now..." "Cough, cough, cough!" A heavy and deliberate cough suddenly came, interrupting Ning Xiangrong's words. The two looked up and saw a thin middle-aged man in a light blue robe walking out from behind. He lifted the front of his robe and sat on the chair above, with a look of embarrassment and depression on his face. Behind him was a skinny old man holding a cane. Ning Xiangrong let go of Liu Yuan and said to the middle-aged man, "Father." She appeared polite on the surface, but secretly poked Liu Yuan, with a hint of cunning hidden in her eyes. Liu Yuan realized in an instant that Ning Xiangrong did it on purpose. Implying that her innocence was in the hands of Liu Yuan...stealing clothes and so on, boudoir fun, boudoir fun. Ning Tingshan's face turned black, and he could only sulk in his heart. But seeing his daughter going so far to protect an outsider, he wanted to kill a pig to vent his anger. All the old fathers in the world feel the same when they see their cabbages being eaten by pigs... Liu Yuan bowed and said, "Junior Liu Yuan, Liu Junxuan, greets Master Ning." This was the first time for him to meet his parents. Liu Yuan felt a little nervous and restrained. He looked at his nose and his heart, and his peripheral vision was fixed on his clasped hands. and many more! Liu Yuan was stunned and looked at his hands. "Meet the parents...? Fuck, meet the parents! I forgot about the meeting gift!" According to tradition, when you visit someone's home, even if you can't give them something too expensive, you should at least give them something that they would like. According to Liu Yuan's understanding in his previous life, it was always a good idea to give wine to his father-in-law, and jewelry or something like that to his mother-in-law. Speaking of which, what should be given as gifts in the world of cultivating immortals... maybe skills, treasures, magic tools, elixirs, etc. But he came here with nothing in his hands, and he wanted to marry someone else's daughter. If you tell anyone about this, he would probably die socially on the spot. Liu Yuan was thinking while bowing and slowed down involuntarily. He seemed very calm and unhurried. Little do people know that some people appear to be planning to start a harem, but in reality they don’t even bring a gift when they meet the parents for the first time. This is fucking terrible. What should I do? Liu Yuan began to rummage through his storage bag, but he seemed to find nothing after searching through it... What nonsense!
These storage bags were snatched from Yue Longzhang, and he turned them upside down a few days ago. It would be strange if there was anything in them. Student Liu deeply realized that he was just a poor man wearing nothing. Should he increase his wealth? Having said that, the group of people in Biluo Mansion are a good target. The identities of their members are not allowed to be made public, and no one will investigate even if they die. The people in Biluo Mansion only care about whether there is betrayal. As for the death of members, if they died in the mission, then it was a worthy death. Moreover, they are all very wealthy, and the rewards for completing missions are often unimaginably generous. It just so happens that Ding Liu and Wan Niang will be exposed soon. Instead of helping them hide it, it would be better to lure the people from Biluo Mansion over, kill them on the spot, and strip them of their equipment. But there are risks as well...If he fails to handle it properly, he himself will be punished by the Biluo Palace. His thoughts flowed, diverged and gathered, Liu Yuan straightened up, and took out from his storage bag - the experience scroll! That's right! Double experience scroll! The double experience scrolls that only exist in the Novice Village store are the most familiar items for players. However, judging from the performance of the two people from the Fuso Sea, the effects of these scrolls are definitely stronger than Liu Yuan imagined! So much so that they will adopt an attitude that anything is possible. As for the Golden Crow True Yang, Liu Yuan would never give it as a gift, but unlike the experience scroll, Xie Qian's calligraphy and paintings were something Liu Yuan could take at will. I can have as much as I want, I don't feel sorry at all. If Xie Qian knew that his calligraphy and paintings were wasted like this, I wonder if he would be angry or helpless... "Well, this is my first visit, but I have nothing with me. I can only give you a painting as a token of my appreciation." Liu Yuan walked forward and handed over the scroll in his hand. But before he could go up, the old man next to him spoke grimly: "Paintings and calligraphy? Do you still think this is Chiyu Villa, young man? Or do you think Miss Ning is not worthy of being married by giving her some mortal things as a betrothal gift?" Oh no, another ruthless person with a heart of a pig? Liu Yuan looked at the ordinary scroll in his hand. Even though it looks rather shabby... this is no reason for you to belittle the experience scroll! This experience scroll can be exchanged for a Golden Crow True Yang. The Golden Crow is a divine beast after all, so it should be more valuable than an old man like you, right? And the sentence after that... was clearly belittling Liu Yuan for having a narrow vision and not caring about Ning Xiangrong. It sounded sarcastic. If Ning Xiangrong's favorability was not full, even at the level of a vow of eternal love, this sentence would have reduced her favorability by at least 10%! Isn’t it that what girls care about most is whether the person they care about cares about them or not? Liu Yuan got furious at that moment. Damn it! This old guy started off by saying such vicious words. It was obvious that he had bad intentions. Moreover, he did not have any impression of such a high-level NPC among the NPCs of Shuiyuewu. Even Zou Zishi had some impression of him, but not this old guy. It can be seen that this guy is just a background board among the background boards. I have a bad temper and I have to criticize you. He turned the scroll around and took it back in his hand, smiling and saying, "Excuse me, old sir, who are you?" Chapter 47 Come, call me senior
The old man snorted coldly: "I am Zou Wenrui." Oh...it turned out to be Zou Zishi's adoptive father, the great elder. No wonder he appeared next to Ning Tingshan and had such an arrogant attitude. You two are really a background board. Liu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "So it's Elder Zou. Excuse me, what is your cultivation level?" Zou Wenrui frowned when he heard this: "Young man, what do you mean by this?"
