Chapter 83 The Tree Desires to Be Quiet but the Wind Doesn't Stop
Demon Lord Honglie's Mansion.
After seeing off the last Moxiu who came to congratulate him, Ying Jie narrowed his eyes tiredly.
In the past few days, he has met dozens of demon cultivators from various major families who came to ask for Hela's relationship.
It can be said that the threshold is about to be trampled.
Now, these chores can finally come to an end.
"Once the red clouds rise in the capital, a thousand flowers bloom again..." Ying Jie murmured.
The feeling of becoming the center of attention in one fell swoop made him extremely addicted.
Although on the surface, he seemed tired of dealing with these people, but in his heart he enjoyed it a lot.
This is the exaggerated treatment he has never experienced.
"However, after the good things are settled, it's time to settle the old scores." Sitting on the mahogany chair, Ying Jie muttered to himself, tapping the back of the chair lightly with his fingertips.
He muttered a name, "Qing Ge..."
Today is different.
Now the difference in status between him and Qing Ge has widened a huge gap.
Not to mention that Qing Ge is just a bastard, even if he is also a pure blood, now he has to stay away when he sees Ying Jie.
After Qing Ge came to Sword Luo King City, he made various feats: he killed thirteen elementary demon generals in a row, and defeated Feng Tianming and Lingwu successively.
But the promotion of status brought about by these feats, in front of his comprehension of the vast warfare, is like a pearl of rice competing for glory with the sun and the moon.
It can be said that no one can suppress him in the entire Wu Killing lineage now.
Even Wu Slaughter Mozun always "go back on his word" and took back the words of punishment that had been agreed before.
"It stands to reason that with my current status, it would seem too petty to haggle over every detail with a son-in-law like you..."
Ying Jie said to himself, a cold and stern look gradually flashed in his eyes, "But, I am such a petty person!"
He still clearly remembered the kick that killed Wu Mozun.
Although that kick did not cause any substantial injury to him, it made him feel extremely humiliated.
Even if his status has risen now, it is impossible for him to be qualified to settle accounts with Wu Killing Mozun.
So he also put this account on Qing Ge, and his hatred for Qing Ge was raised to the extreme.
He decided to trouble Qing Ge.
But this time, he was no longer going to act secretly like before.
He wants to deal with Qing Ge openly.
If it wasn't impossible, who would want to do bad things secretly?
"However, it's okay to bully others, but we need to find a reason." Ying Jie thought to himself.
He needed a suitable excuse as an entry point, and then came to trouble Qing Ge.
Ying Jie began to ponder, and soon, a piece of information flooded his mind.
——Qing Ge blatantly attacked Hei Wu for the sake of two little girls from the human race at the Chiguo Feast.
In the end, in order to win Qing Ge over, Chi Li ignored the matter and personally sent the two human girls to Qing Ge's mansion.
"Qing Ge, Qing Ge, you are really upright." Ying Jie sneered, with a plan in mind.
…
"Uncle,
You go and see Miss. "The maid of Mingyue Palace named Jiao'er looked anxious.
Lu Qingshan stayed behind closed doors for the time being, but others came to him on his own initiative.
"What happened?" He frowned slightly.
Jiao'er looked aggrieved, and briefly explained what happened a few days ago.
"Ever since I met the Demon Demon Lord, the young lady has been depressed, locked herself in the room, and hasn't come out for several days."
Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect that Ying Mingyue would go to the door again in private for her own sake, and then this incident happened.
"I'll go see her." Lu Qingshan quickly calmed down and said calmly.
"Then I'm going to trouble you, my lord. Maybe you are the only one who can persuade the young lady." An indistinct joy appeared on Jiao'er's face.
…
Mingyue Mansion.
"Miss Mingyue, I'm Qingge." He whispered outside Ying Mingyue's room.
At first there was no answer.
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything, just waited quietly.
another moment
"Come in." A haggard voice came from inside the room.
Lu Qingshan pushed open the door and walked in.
It's just been six or seven days since I saw her, Ying Mingyue's complexion has changed a lot, she lost her former heroism and spirit, her cheekbones are sunken, and her eyes are dull.
Seeing Ying Mingyue like this at first glance, Lu Qingshan was also very surprised.
"If Ying Jie sees your current appearance, he must be very proud."
He couldn't help but sighed and said, "It's just a Yingjie, why did you force yourself into such a state?"
Ying Mingyue shook her head lightly, "It's not all because of him...
More because of his father's attitude. "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sneered at herself, "I used to think that although I was a bastard, he loved me very much.
Now that I think about it, it's just because I've never fought with pure bloods..."
Lu Qingshan remained silent.
Ying Mingyue continued to murmur: "Actually, I know these things well, otherwise why would I never fight for them?
I just know that if I fight, he will definitely not be on my side, and the illusion that he loves me will be exposed. "
"It's just that I have been deceiving myself, deceiving myself and others..."
"But this time, I'm not going to fight for anything.
You are my future husband-in-law, Ying Jie ordered the dead to kill you, the evidence is solid, I just want to seek justice for you.
But even so, my father is still not on my side. "
"It's because Ying Jie has comprehended the Mangcang warfare." Ying Mingyue's voice was like weeping blood.
"I also want to understand that the status of Yingjie today is far from what it could be compared to before.
Don't talk about you, even if he wanted to attack and kill me, Demon Lord Xie Ren probably wouldn't take it seriously. "Ying Mingyue looked downcast, very desolate.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered slightly.
He noticed that Ying Mingyue no longer used the word "Father" when addressing Demon Lord Xie Ren.
Apparently, her grievances towards the Demon Lord Shaved Blade had accumulated to a very deep level.
Ying Mingyue regained her composure, looked at Lu Qingshan whose expression hadn't changed much, and said bitterly: "He also asked me to send you a message, telling you to avoid Yingjie as much as possible in the future, or if there is another dispute, just consider yourself unlucky .”
She has completely given up on Demon Killing Wu.
Lu Qingshan looked indifferent, and asked suddenly: "Do you have evidence that Ying Jie ordered the dead to attack me?"
Ying Mingyue was startled, then nodded slowly, "Yes."
Immediately, a black jade appeared in her hand, and she handed it to Lu Qingshan.
"This is a small list of dead men under Yingjie. The person who happened to attack and kill you is on this list," Ying Mingyue explained, "His name is Yinglou."
Lu Qingshan took the jade slips, penetrated into it with his spiritual sense, and quickly browsed through the information in it.
"Where did this information come from?" After regaining his senses, Lu Qingshan asked in a deep voice.
"It's from Chili Mansion." Ying Mingyue didn't think too much about it.
"Chili Mansion?" Chili's face flashed across Lu Qingshan's mind, and he sneered in his heart.
He is really "kind"!
"I'll put this ink jade here first," he said.
Ying Mingyue was puzzled and said: "In this situation, these information are not very meaningful."
Their current predicament is not that there is no evidence, but because the status gap is too large.
"That's not necessarily true," Lu Qingshan looked deeply at Ying Mingyue, who had a gloomy complexion, and said suddenly, "Perhaps, after a while, I'll find a way to get back."
During the few days when he stayed behind closed doors in the mansion, he figured out some important things, and his mind gradually became active.
Ying Mingyue's eyes widened when she heard the words, she looked at Lu Qingshan, and said subconsciously, "How is it possible? With the current situation, how can we win against Yingjie?"
Lu Qingshan nodded affirmatively, "I'm sure."
In fact, it is very sure, but after all, it is not a 100% success, so he did not talk too much.
"Just wait a few more days and see when the time comes." Lu Qingshan left such a sentence, and under Ying Mingyue's puzzled gaze, he left with Mo Yu.
After he left, Ying Mingyue was stunned for a long time, and finally, a brilliant light burst into her eyes.
That is the brilliance of hope.
She knew very well that with Yingjie's current momentum, it would be very difficult for Qing Ge to regain his position.
But the tone and eyes of Lu Qingshan just now made her unconsciously believe what Lu Qingshan said in her heart.
"Will he really have a solution?" Ying Mingyue murmured, with anticipation in her heart.
…
House seemingly endless rain.
Just after leaving Mingyue Mansion and returning to his mansion, Lu Qingshan received another bad news.
"The demon master of Yingjie claimed that the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year were the blood food he ordered from His Royal Highness Chi Li to feed his monsters, but His Royal Highness Chi Li forgot for a moment and gave them to him. you......."
The steward Zhipan in the mansion wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head, and said with difficulty: "So, now he suddenly remembered this matter, and directly asked you for these two human girls over His Royal Highness Chili. …”
Lu Qingshan's face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Leaving aside that he is a human swordsman, he would definitely not be able to do such a cruel and inhumane thing as sending a human girl to Yingjie and letting him feed it to monsters.
Even if he was really Qing Ge, Ying Jie's move was tantamount to slapping him in the face and embarrassing him.
"Your Highness, why don't we send these two human girls there first," Zhi Pan said cautiously, "Anyway, it's just two human girls, so it's nothing to His Highness."
"The Demon Lord of the Ying Realm has such a noble status now... It's not easy to offend again."
Which is more important, face or life, is a matter of opinion.
He was afraid that Qing Ge would not let go of his face due to his youthful vigor, and insisted on confronting Ying Jie head-on.
In this case, the reason why he took the initiative to persuade Qing Ge was to give Qing Ge a step down—"I" was not prepared to give in at first, but you kept persuading me, so I reluctantly agreed.
Zhipan is an old man with great eyesight.
However, Lu Qingshan was unmoved, and there was a chill in his body, "In my Qing Ge's note, there was never a word of groveling."
"This person, since it's in my hands, I will never give it to him."
"Your Highness, but..." Butler Zhipan was extremely embarrassed.
"No need to say any more." Lu Qingshan said coldly, turned his head and left.
Looking at Lu Qingshan's back, Steward Zhipan stood there for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but sighed heavily, "Oh!"
This situation is not good.
Ying Jie is now the number one celebrity in Wangcheng, and the future helm of the Murder Wu lineage. His master has such an enmity with him, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels panicked.
…
Lu Qingshan had been thinking about the situation in the room for less than half a quarter of an hour, when Butler Zhipan appeared again.
"His Royal Highness Qing Ge, His Royal Highness Chi Li came to visit, and now we are waiting for you in the conference hall, saying that we have something important to talk about." Zhipan Guanshi said outside the door.
"Chili is looking for me?" Lu Qingshan's eyes changed slightly, he didn't know the purpose of Chili's visit at this time.
good thing?
impossible.
At least Lu Qingshan didn't believe it.
From his act of sending the information to Ying Mingyue, Ying Mingyue didn't think much about it, but Lu Qingshan saw Chi Li's malicious intentions at a glance.
"Then let's meet and see what kind of way he is." Lu Qingshan said to himself.
…………
chamber.
"His Royal Highness Chi Li." Lu Qingshan walked in with a smile on his face, and said politely.
Chi Li was sipping tea, very leisurely, when he saw Qing Ge coming in, he nodded slightly in return.
"His Highness Chili came to the door today, why?" Lu Qingshan sat down and asked
"I heard that Ying Jie asked you for those two human girls." Chi Li said straight to the point.
"Obviously, asking for a human girl is false, and asking you to trouble is his real purpose."
Lu Qingshan was silent.
"The statement that Ying Jie had already pre-ordered those two human girls to me is pure nonsense. It has never happened before. He just made it up."
Chi Li did not rush, took a sip of tea and continued: "He just concluded that he is an extraordinary person now, and it is impossible for me to come forward to expose his lies, so I dare to be so confident."
Lu Qingshan also knows this, but...
"Does Your Highness mean to stand up for me?" He asked with a frown.
Chi Li came to the door, certainly not just to talk to him about these innocuous nonsense.
And the meaning of standing up for him revealed in his words is obvious.
But there is no free lunch in the world, Lu Qingshan doesn't think that Chi Li will be so kind.
Chi Li was not embarrassed, nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "It's okay to stand up for you, but I need something in return."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered.
"I am very optimistic about your talent, and I am also optimistic that you will inherit the Senluo King Realm in the future," Chi Li said with a smile: "I am willing to help you overcome the current difficulties and help you solve the problem of mixed blood."
"It's just that I have paid so much, so naturally I can't pay for nothing."
"If I can control the Senluo King Realm in the future, I will return ten times the resources Your Highness has contributed in the process.
And if His Highness is in need, Qing Ge promises that he will do his best to help His Highness regardless of profit or loss. "Lu Qingshan answered.
future? Not to mention the Senluo King Realm, even people will be gone by then.
Therefore, he talked nonsense and offered conditions without any pressure.
"It's not uncommon for bridges to be demolished." Chi Li shook his head calmly and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that it's too hasty to rely on verbal guarantees for such a big event."
"If I pay a lot, give you a platform, deal with Yingjie, and do my best to help you sit on the position of the leader of the realm, if you backtrack then, won't I lose all my money?"
"Then what does His Highness want?" Lu Qingshan roughly guessed Chi Li's intention.
A jade box appeared in Chi Li's hand.
He opened the jade box, and a blood-red, agate-like worm appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.
"This is... a blood-eating worm?" Lu Qingshan, who had acquired the common sense of the demon race, recognized it at a glance.
Chi Li nodded, "Blood Erosion Insect, it is born with a strange toxin, only the blood sunflower that accompanies it can detoxify it.
Once this toxin seeps into your body, your blood will be polluted, and the practice system of our Demon Race is based on blood.
Therefore, once you are infected with the toxin of the blood-eating worm, you can advance to the eighth rank at most, and your cultivation will stagnate. Unless I give you the blood sunflower, you will definitely not be able to improve. "
"As long as you let go of your defenses and let me put this blood-eating worm into your body, I will help you unconditionally." Chi Li said calmly.
Lu Qingshan's face became gloomy, "Your Highness, is this trying to block my way of cultivation?"
Chi Li shook his head, "That's not what I said.
First of all, the toxin of the blood-eating worm will not work until you reach the eighth rank.
In other words, this shows that I will at least provide resources to help you advance to the eighth rank, otherwise the blood-eating insect poison is just empty talk.
You can also see my sincerity from this.
You know, to help a miscellaneous blood advance to the eighth stage, what a huge number of resources will be spent, I think you are also very clear.
What's more, you are still being targeted by Yingjie. If I want to help you, I will pay more.
In addition, the eighth-rank realm is already enough for you to compete for the position of the heir to the world lord.
You don't have to think too much. When your position as the heir to the world master is confirmed, once I confirm that you will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, I guarantee that I will immediately give you the blood sunflower to detoxify you.
In short, this blood worm is just an insurance policy for myself.
If you don't want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, you don't need to worry at all. "
Chi Li stared at Lu Qingshan's face and asked, "What do you think?"
Hehe, believe me.
Lu Qingshan sneered in his heart.
It's nice to say, but when the time comes, won't "Qing Ge" who has the handle in Chi Li's hands have to let him eat?
Chi Li's conditions are extremely excessive and outrageous.
Normally, he would definitely not do this.
But now he is certain that the conflict between Yingjie and "Qing Ge" has intensified, and "Qing Ge" is in an embarrassing situation of isolation and helplessness.
Chi Li wanted to take advantage of Qing Ge's difficulty in parrying Ying Jie to force him to accept this harsh condition.
Naked looting.
Although Lu Qingshan dismissed it in his heart, he did not forget to put on a disguise on his face.
His expression kept changing, and he made a gesture of struggling and thinking.
Chi Li is idle and full of flaws.
He didn't urge Lu Qingshan to make a decision, he looked leisurely
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Qing Ge is really not used to having bugs in his body, so he panicked.
I have no choice but to be ignorant of flattery here, so I decline His Highness's kindness. "After pondering for a moment, Lu Qingshan refused with "difficulty".
If Chi Li wanted him to promise to give up all kinds of resources and interests of the Senluo King Realm in the future, he really didn't care.
Anyway, when the time comes, he pats his butt and leaves. Chi Li wants to pay, so he should go to Huangquan to find Qing Ge.
However, Chi Li's condition is aimed at himself, which Lu Qingshan absolutely cannot accept.
That's right, the cultivation system of the human race is different from that of the demon race, it is not based on blood, and the blood worm seems to have no effect on him.
But who knows if there will be any hidden dangers in it?
No one has tried it, and no one dares to guarantee it.
Besides, didn't the blood spirit crystal, a rare thing in the abyss, also help him complete the breakthrough of the ten flowers?
The danger of the blood-eating worms to human monks is also highly probable.
Besides, who knows if the blood worm that Chi Li took out is pure blood worm.
What if there are other tricks and designs?
Lu Qingshan doesn't believe in Chili's character.
In short, he would not take the risk of being controlled by others, let alone put poisonous insects from the Demon Race in his body casually.
Chi Li, who felt that he must win, suddenly froze his smile.
After a while, he came back to his senses and reminded: "Ying Jie's move is just the beginning.
Today he wants two human girls from you, if you give them, tomorrow he will ask you for the blood god placer vein... there is no end.
But if you don't give it, then he will use this as an excuse to trouble you. "
"If no one speaks for you, there is no way to deal with this kind of targeting."
"In the royal city, there are not many people who can speak in front of Yingjie at this time," Chi Li persuaded, "I should be regarded as the most sincere of these few people."
"You think about it again?"
"That's the case, Qing Ge is also very grateful for His Highness's kindness, but Qing Ge really cannot accept His Highness's condition." Lu Qingshan said lightly.
Chi Li's complexion changed, and he sat in his seat wondering what he was thinking.
In the end he got up angrily and shook his sleeves violently, "Since you are unwilling to accept this condition, I have nothing to say. My Highness will take my leave first."
"However," before turning to leave, Chi Li paused, and added in a cold voice: "My Highness is still willing to give you a chance.
If after a while, you regret today's decision, you can come to His Highness again, and my conditions today are still valid. "
He believes that the reason why Qing Ge rejected him today is because Qing Ge is not yet in a desperate situation.
The situation wasn't bad enough.
It was he who came early.
When Yingjie continued to make efforts, Qing Ge would agree to his conditions sooner or later.
After all, just when Qing Ge faced his conditions, he already showed a very hesitant attitude.
"I remember," Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Chi Li."
"Hmph!" Chi Li snorted coldly, turned and left with a little dissatisfaction.
…………
"Ying Jie!" Lu Qingshan shouted after Chi Li left.
His whole body was full of murderous intent, and his bones were icy cold, making the hall even colder.
"You really think there's nothing I can do?"
Everyone thought that facing the oppression of Yingjie, he was just an ant, a bug, unable to resist.
"You all think that I can't solve this situation by myself alone..."
There was a cold light in his eyes, "Let's wait and see."
Lu Qingshan is waiting for the opportunity to come back from the jedi.
It won't be too far.
