Spirit Emperor - C77
“Are you all speaking the truth?”
“Junior Sister, you don’t know that your fiance is absolutely an indomitable man and a great hero. When our Senior Brother Zhou Mingshan left after seeing how many moves Lee Xun did, his face turned ashen, and he wondered if he would smash his head against the wall after seeing Lee Xun slashing those three old men with all his might. “Hehe.” The one who spoke was Shang Rongrong’s eldest senior sister, her name was Tian Hui.
“That’s right, Senior Sister. In the past, you’ve always thought of annulling the engagement. If you really don’t like her, why don’t you give her to me?” The woman making fun of him was called Dongying.
“That’s right, Junior Sister. I was tempted too. After you were heavily injured that day, his fury was really too attractive. If a man was willing to do that for me, it would be worth it even if I died.” Tian Hui clasped her hands together with a face full of yearning.
“…”
What Lee Xun did not know was that in Shang Rongrong’s room, he had become the main character in everyone’s conversation.
Out of politeness, Lee Xun would visit Shang Rongrong every day, but after a few short chats, he would leave.
Due to the accuracy of the Pineflower Country’s intelligence, they took the initiative to attack and breached many important points in the Alliance of Five, disrupting their plans, rousing the spirits of all the people in the Pineflower Country, and intimidating those neighbouring countries who were ready to make their move.
Half a month passed like this until Lee Xun received a summons from Lee Zhi.
“Xun, our southern front line has been stabilized. Furthermore, they received good news yesterday, the strongest kingdom in the south, the Jinhai Kingdom, had declared war on the Alliance of Five. “I think it’s very likely that there will be more people who will add insult to injury, so our days should be a lot better.” Lee Zhi was extremely happy.
“Congratulations, royal father.”
“It’s still too early to say congratulations. The Golden Sea Kingdom’s dispatch of troops is quite strange. I reckon that there’s a mastermind behind this, so it’s best if they fight to the end. If the victor is decided, then our days will still not be good. Let them call. Actually, royal father also wanted to send out troops, but he couldn’t quite do so. Our Pineflower Country’s location is too poor, there are seven kingdoms next to the border, and only our Tianshan Country is our ally, but they only have the power to protect themselves at the very most. To put it bluntly, without the Sky Mountain Sect, they would have been annexed long ago. Forget it, let’s not talk about this today. Xun, your feudal fiefdom has already been divided into two provinces in the south and 15 cities with 20 million people under it.
“Father, let’s forget about this feudal fiefdom, I have no mood to care about that.” Lee Xun quickly refused. Didn’t he want to show himself?
“Then tell me, whatever you want, Royal Father will satisfy you.”
“Father, I really do not need anything. Why don’t you arrange a mansion for me? In the future, Qing and I will not be able to stay with little brother forever. ”
“Hehe, brother, father and mother have already made arrangements. I will bring you over to take a look tomorrow.”
“Xun, just ask your Royal Father for some things, if not, he will not be able to hold back his pride, and the ministers will say that your Royal Father is petty.” Hu Jing laughed.
Lee Xun shook his head. He truly didn’t lack anything as he said: “Royal Father, I think this will do. You just need to watch and enjoy some Jade Artifact Antiquities before I gift them to Mother. That will allow you to enter the national treasury again.”
Lee Zhi and Lee Ting both laughed bitterly.
The four of them chatted for a while before a maid reported, “Your Majesty, General Luo Dao is awaiting orders outside the door.”
“Bring him in. No, I’ll go there myself.” Lee Zhi then stood up and left.
Not long later, Lee Zhi and a lean man walked in.
“Big Brother, look, this is Xun. Xun, quickly come and greet your Uncle Dao. ”
Lee Xun also recognized Uncle Dao. Before he entered the Tianshan Sword Sect at the age of ten, the old man had brought him to meet him in secret from afar. However, Lee Xun did not go forward to acknowledge him as he was afraid that he would fall into the chase again.
“Uncle Dao.”
When Luo Dao saw Lee Xun, he suddenly burst into tears. Your majesty, Luo Dao has let you down. ”
Uncle Dao, what are you saying? You are my savior, call me Xun.
“Eldest brother, sit. We haven’t had a drink together for so many years. We’ll definitely not get drunk today.”
“…”
The next day, Lee Xun, accompanied by Lee Ting, visited his residence. Lee Xun was very satisfied with the size, but even if he wanted to switch to a smaller size, Lee Zhi would probably not agree to it.
After returning to the crown prince’s residence, Lee Xun told Lee Ting, “Little brother, I will prepare to return to the Tianshan Sword Sect tomorrow.”
“Brother, in such a hurry?”
“If I wasn’t worried about the situation in the south, I would have gone back a long time ago. Now that the situation in the south is stable, I naturally want to go back, but before long, I will bring your sister back.”
“Big brother, then come back quickly.”
“Of course.” Having spent so many days in the Pineflower Country, although he had finally recognized his own biological parents, Lee Xun was still worried about Qin Qing, and wanted to return and see her one day earlier.
Night, Pineflower Country Palace.
“What? You’re going back tomorrow?”
“Muhou, don’t worry. I will return as soon as possible. Besides, don’t you want to see your daughter-in-law earlier?”
When Hu Jing heard this, she could only acquiesce. She was extremely curious about her daughter-in-law, Qin Qing.
“Alright, since you’ve been out for so long, you should return to the Tianshan Sword Sect to report back. As for the presents, I’ll send someone to deliver them to you tomorrow morning to help me deliver them to your master’s wife. As for the daughter-in-law, you can just wait for her to come by herself.” Lee Zhi laughed.
“Yes, you should bring her here as soon as possible. If possible, please invite your master, wife, and sister to be guests as well. Our family must properly thank them to bring up such an outstanding son of yours.” After thinking it through, Hu Jing also added.
“Then Royal Father, Imperial Mother, your son will take his leave. Rest assured, I will be back as soon as possible.”
Crown Prince’s Palace.
“Ah?” Senior Brother, we’ll be going back tomorrow. ” Lu Tuan complained.
“What? You don’t want to go back?” Lee Xun felt that it was a little strange. Usually, Lu Tuan listened to him the most.
“Haha, Senior Brother, you don’t know that our Junior Brother Lu Tuan has fallen in love.” He Bao revealed the news.
“Oh?” Lee Xun was also interested, and laughed: “Tell me, which girl are you from, I’ll advise you.”
“It’s Miss Dongying from Dongting Sword Sect.” Lu Tuan said shyly.
“Not bad, you have good eyes.” Lee Xun was already familiar with the nine Dongting Sword Sect ladies. After all, he would visit Shang Rongrong every day, so it was only natural that he would come into contact with them. In these past few days, the two groups of people had sparred quite often and were quite familiar with each other.
When Lu Tuan heard Lee Xun’s words, he immediately became a little excited and said, “Senior Brother, then should I stay for a few more days? It’s also only been a few days since I started to chat with her, and I still don’t know what she’s thinking.”
“About this.”
“Well?”
“No.”
Lu Tuan was immediately like a deflated ball, and did not speak anymore.
“Lu Tuan, it’s not that Senior Brother does not support you, it’s just that we have left the Sword Sect for a long time and really need to return to report. However, if you really like her, I suggest you personally make a trip to the Dongting Sword Sect. You have to understand, even if the two of you are sure of your relationship now, neither of you have left the sect yet. If it’s the same Sword Sect, then it’s still fine, but the two of you are separated too far, if you’re not by her side, then a lot of things might happen, do you understand? ”
Lee Xun was very clear, Lu Tuan was not stupid. In the Sword Soul Continent, one would normally have to be around thirty years old to leave the sect. Lu Tuan was twenty-six this year, while Easterner was only twenty-one.
“Senior brother, I understand.”
“Don’t be discouraged. In a while, go and bid farewell to him. If you have anything to say, you’d better say it all out.” The rest of you, too, have been together for a while. Even if you’re being polite, you should go greet him. ” Lee Xun guessed that the nine female disciples from Dongting Sword Sect were all very outstanding, and it was probably not only Lu Tuan who had his eyes on his, even if he did not point it out, he would still have to create an opportunity.
Sure enough, other than and himself, Lu Tuan and Dong Ying wanted to talk alone, but there were also a few other pairs that were bashful and bashful.
“Miss Shang, your body should have recovered by now, right?”
“Hmm, didn’t you ask that once today?” Shang Rongrong looked at Lee Xun with a bit of amusement.
Lee Xun was also unsure of what to say. If he left tomorrow, it would naturally be inconvenient for Shang Rongrong and the others to stay, but when he said those words himself, it felt like he wanted to chase them away.
“Hur hur. I have to return to the Tianshan Sword Sect tomorrow. ”
“Tomorrow?” Shang Rongrong obviously did not expect this.
“Mn, I’m here to bid you farewell. Thinking about it, after coming out for so long, it should be time for you guys to return to the Dongting Sword Sect.”
“Yes. If it were not for my recovery, we would have gone back five days ago. ”
“Then take care of yourself along the way. I need to go back early and pack up.” After Lee Xun finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait, you have nothing else to say to me?”
“No more.” Lee Xun pretended to be confused.
“Oh. Take care. ”
After Lee Xun left, Shang Rongrong kicked him angrily: “Truly a wooden body, don’t tell me you want me to speak up? “This is pissing me off, it’s pissing me off.”
How could Lee Xun not understand what Shang Rongrong meant? In fact, he had heard her seniors discussing him and Shang Rongrong in private these past few days. At a certain point in time, it would be hard not to hear about it. He started to worry, as if those nine girls all described him as a perfect match. Lee Xun dared to swear to the heavens right now, but he definitely did not have the slightest intention to take her as his wife.
The two groups left the Pine City at the same time, but Lee Xun was at the north gate, Shang Rongrong and the others were at the east gate. After exiting the east gate, Shang Rongrong could not help but look towards the north.
“Junior Sister, did you miss him?” Tian Hui joked.
“Hmph, I wanted to scold him.” With that, he whipped his horse and left.
The martial sisters shook their heads in amusement. A few of them glanced towards the north before chasing after him.
