Chapter 1099 Please Do Me a Favor
Looking at Nalan Guangcheng, Li Chuyi said quietly: "My master said that cultivation is about qualifications and conditions. Having the qualifications but not the destiny is in vain; having the destiny but not the qualifications is also in vain. No matter how magical the weapon is, Good things have to be done, and no matter how many spirit stones you have, they must be used up. The improvement of cultivation is related to resources but not inevitable. Take your Nalan family as an example. Your family has so many spirit stones that you can probably move out 10% of them. Ten thousand of me were smashed to death, but with so many spiritual stones, why didn’t you pile up a true immortal?”
As he spoke, he took off the rotten gourd from his waist and put it on the table. Li Chuyi pointed at the rotten gourd and said, "There is also this gourd. Don't look at it. It's tattered, but do you know what it is? This is my master. Needless to say, it’s a personal magic weapon! My master put it next to me to protect me, but the result is that I can’t use this treasure at all. I can only show its power a few times when it is willing to move. , do you think this baby is useful? Is it valuable to me? "
Putting away the gourd, Li Chuyi said seriously: "So I have no interest in the position of Emperor Yan at all. Rights are a good thing for you, but for me it is a trouble, tiring, and affecting my practice. As for what you said Resources, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm half a traveling merchant and hawker, so I have no problem earning some for my cultivation. If Emperor Yanling hadn't sent people to keep an eye on me all day long, I would be living a happy life now. Do you think I deserve to pay for my sins? Isn’t it tiring to be a prince and emperor and worry about this and that all day long?”
Looking deeply at Li Chuyi, Nalan Guangcheng waited for a long time before slowly nodding his head.
He felt that he had a deeper understanding of Li Chuyi, and finally understood why Li Chuyi had fallen out with Mufa so easily before.
Under the guidance of Tian Daozun, Li Chuyi had no greed for power. He even thought that power itself was a boring thing. He could borrow it when necessary, but he did not want to be contaminated by it in the slightest.
Everyone knows that trivial matters in the world of mortals mess up the Taoist mind, but life is inevitably affected by the mortal world. How many people can be as calm and calm as their master and disciple?
Therefore, what Tian Daozun said is very appropriate. Cultivation is about focusing on qualifications and conditions. There is talent but no chance, and there is fate but no talent is in vain. To put it bluntly, it is all fate.
Li Chuyi has a good master in his life who can protect him, so he is so free and easy. There are other people who want to be as transcendent as him, but they don't have that good life.
Seeing Nalan Guangcheng silently meditating for a long time without saying anything, the little fat man knocked on the table to interrupt his thoughts.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You haven't answered my question just now. Is that bastard Yuwen Taihao trying to harm your daughter again?"
Nalan Guangcheng almost choked to death. A moment ago, he had an aura of otherworldliness, but the next moment he turned around, he was so vulgar.
He wanted to change the topic but was stared at by the little fat man. After repeated questioning, Nalan Guangcheng couldn't escape and sighed deeply.
"It's not what you think. King Zhenxi doesn't do anything to Mingyue, but Mingyue... is secretly in love with her, alas!"
"Fuck, scum!" The little fat man was furious and slammed the table.
"That's right, a pretty boy!" Xiao Erhei also echoed with a bigger head.
Putting his hand on the table and leaning over, the little fat man said sadly: "Why don't you care? Yu Yao was so badly hurt by him, aren't you afraid that your daughter will be swallowed by him too?!"
No matter how you look at it, it seems that one person and one dog are more like jealousy. Nalan Guangcheng did not dare to show it, and asked with some doubts: "Who is Yu Yao? Oh, it is..."
"That's right! It's the confidante who was almost killed by him! Oh, shit, the confidante is just a miserable woman!"
Seeing Li Chuyi gritting his teeth, Nalan Guangcheng understood everything immediately.
Just say where did this kid come from with so much resentment? It turned out that he was jealous and lost the battle.
After a few wry smiles, Nalan Guangcheng said: "I found out early on that my little girl has a crush on her. Later I found out that she was the King of Zhenxi. I also reminded her several times. But you have seen that girl Mingyue today, how could she listen? Mine? One time, he got angry with me and didn't talk to me for a long time. I really had no choice. "
"Hit me!"
Li Chuyi looked like he hated iron.
"Beat me if I don't obey. Beat me until I obey! When I was a child, my master would throw me directly into the crocodile pool if I didn't obey. I wouldn't be allowed to go ashore until he was satisfied. After a few times, I became obedient! You, you, Lao Na, I’m not telling you, haven’t you heard the old saying that a loving father is a loser to his daughter?”
Nalan Guangcheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said to himself that my surname is Nalan, not Na, and my family is a girl, not a boy, so how can I beat him just because he wants to?
Just as he was thinking about how to continue, the little fat man got excited and slapped the table with great energy.
"Look, what am I saying? Even if you are used to living a good life, something will go wrong! Anyone you pick on the street is better than Yu Hao, so why does that stupid girl fall in love with him? Just because he was born Good-looking? Damn, it’s useless! It’s a pity that you met me too late. It would have been decades earlier when I was still with my master. Discipline and discipline, I promise you’ll be fine!”
Nalan Guangcheng swallowed: "Throw it into the crocodile pond too?"
"Won't!"
With a big wave of his hand, the little fat man said bitterly: "The smelly Taoist priest has always favored girls over boys. The crocodile pond is so dirty that he can't bear to leave it. The most he can do is throw it into a tiger and bear cave for a few days!"
Nalan Guangcheng immediately shut up.
He finally knew how Li Chuyi grew up to be so skinny.
The little fat man was short of breath after scolding too fast. He took a breath and suddenly became confused.
"That's not right. What does your daughter's crush on him have to do with me? Why are you asking me about this? You don't really want to set him up with me, do you? I'm telling you, no, I have principles, but don't you? He’s a casual person!”
Seeing that Li Chuyi was acting like he was being forced into prostitution, Nalan Guangcheng was so angry that he smashed the table with his palm.
"My girl is not a casual person either!!"
"Uh... slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, don't get me wrong!"
Only then did the little fat man realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly smiled and waved his hands.
When Nalan Guangcheng sat down again with a sullen expression, the little fat man came forward with a smile on his face.
"This, Uncle Na..."
"Nalan!!"
"Oh, Nalan, Uncle Nalan! I said uncle, I know you want to find out from me how Yuwen Taihao is as a person. I'll tell you the truth. He is a scumbag. You must not touch him. It's bad luck! But there's no point in asking me about this. You should tell my grandpa. Isn't my grandpa very close to your family? Go talk to him about this and let him teach you a lesson. Mingyue, if that doesn't work, let him come forward to find Yuwen Taihao and tell him to stay as far away from your daughter as possible. This is the right way!"
"Well, if only things were that simple."
Nalan Guangcheng sighed bitterly.
"You also know your grandpa's temper. If he knew about this, it would be a big mess. Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with the Yuwen royal family because of your mother's affairs. If you let him know, I I doubt that the old man will go directly to Zhenxi Prince’s Mansion!”
Speaking of this, Nalan Guangcheng glanced at Li Chuyi faintly.
"Especially now that there is an extra person like you, we can't let him know about this."
"I?"
"Ah You!"
Nalan Guangcheng nodded.
"Let me ask you, will you cause trouble to King Zhenxi when you come back this time?"
With a flash of his eyes, the little fat man said ambiguously: "Well...it depends on the situation, most likely."
"It's over now!"
He patted his thigh and reached out to grab the tea cup to take a sip of Shunshunqi. However, he remembered that the table had been smashed by him. Nalan Guangcheng was so angry that he patted his thigh again.
"Think about it, if you want to cause trouble for King Zhenxi, will your grandpa watch? If your grandpa helps you, will the Mu family watch? Originally, the Mu family remained neutral and was as stable as Emperor Yanling. I just sit on the sidelines, if there is a fight with the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion because of you, and my family Mingyue has close contact with the Zhenxi Prince, then even if your grandpa doesn't misunderstand, what will outsiders think of my Nalan family?"
After a pause, Nalan Guangcheng sighed deeply again.
"Actually, even without you, this matter would be very troublesome. It's been a while since you've been here, and you should have heard some news. Although the King of Zhenxi lives in seclusion, the princes who support him are growing day by day, secretly working with the royalists. There was a lot of friction. Originally, my Nalan family was behind the Mu family and was a neutral party. It had nothing to do with whether they lived or died. But once the Mingyue incident is exposed, what will outsiders think of my Nalan family? What will the royalists and the princes and daughters they support think of my Nalan family? How will these people interpret the Mu family? To be honest, I went to Uncle Shi to apologize. I'm so worried. I didn't even dare to tell my father about this. If my old man knew about it, he would probably kill this granddaughter if he kissed her. I... ugh!"
With a thought in his heart, Li Chuyi whispered: "Ask one more question, how did Yuwen Taihao and Mingyue know each other?"
Suddenly looking up at Li Chuyi, Nalan Guangcheng said in a deep voice, "Are you also so suspicious?"
The little fat man curled his lips: "You've already come around in such a big circle. If you don't doubt me anymore, I'll be a fool!"
Secretly praising Li Chuyi's mind, Nalan Guangcheng shook his head: "I was skeptical at first, but I checked and there was nothing surprising. King Zhenxi has been recovering from his injuries since he came back. He held several banquets after he recovered from his injuries. He invited dignitaries from all over the capital to have a drink and have a good time, and it was there that my daughter met him. Later, I checked specifically and found that King Zhenxi never did anything on his own initiative. It was because the daughter fell in love with him at first sight after hearing his legendary experience. Just like other nymphomaniac women.”
Li Chuyi was suspicious: "Are you sure there is no matchmaker?"
"Sure!"
Nalan Guangcheng nodded affirmatively.
"I have asked all the maids around the little girl, and they don't dare to lie to me. Later, I also asked other guests through other channels, and I found nothing. They all said that the little girl took the initiative to get involved. Fortunately, the nymphomaniac woman There were so many of them, and the little girl was so young that it didn't look strange to be among them. Moreover, King Zhenxi was very measured and never showed too much concern for anyone, so he didn't make anyone suspicious. I'm just afraid that if one day he expresses his opinion, the little girl... Oh!"
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Nalan Guangcheng sighed, "My Nalan family is open-minded, and I, Nalan Guangcheng, am not one who likes to interfere in the affairs of my children. I don't care whether the family is equal or not, as long as my daughter is happy. But...but the King of Zhenxi is too special, his identity and position are too sensitive, and all the focus of Dayan is on him. Any slight disturbance will arouse the suspicion of countless people. And my Nalan family has always been the right-hand man of the Mu family. Sometimes our attitude is the attitude of the Mu family, and we are like the spokesperson of the Mu family. If the King of Zhenxi really wants to do something with his daughter, it's a small matter if outsiders misunderstand us, but if the Mu family also misunderstands us and loses trust in us, then our Nalan family will be in great trouble."
"Have you ever thought of sacrificing a pawn to save the king?" Li Chuyi suddenly interrupted in a calm voice.
Nalan Guangcheng's pupils shrank sharply, and a strong coldness flashed away, and then he sighed deeply.
"I will seal her cultivation and lock her up at home, but I will never kill her, and I will never let outsiders touch her. The higher the cultivation, the harder it is to give birth to offspring. I finally got such a daughter. I watched her grow up since she was a child. I held her carefully for fear that someone would hurt her. If it really comes to that, I... Oh!"
Relieved, Li Chuyi nodded secretly.
It was he who said to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, but if Nalan Guangcheng said without hesitation that he had thought about it, he would immediately order the guests to leave.
What he hated most in his life was cold-blooded people who disregarded family affection, such as his biological father Yuwen Tailuo. If Nalan Guangcheng was like Yuwen Tailuo, there would be no need to talk today, and there would be no need to stay in this restaurant, he thought it was dirty.
"Uncle Nalan, just tell me what you want to say today. Let me make it clear first, it's definitely not possible for me to pursue your daughter. Although my appearance is not bad, it probably won't catch your daughter's eye, and I really don't have the heart to do it. As long as I can help you with anything else, just tell me. I have to help you this time for my grandfather. Of course, you have to give me a discount on the room rate here, I'm poor!"
Nalan Guangcheng laughed and scolded: "With your grandfather here, half of the imperial capital is yours, and you're still poor? You can stay here, and I won't charge you. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, just tell Manager Liu. I have already instructed him to give you spiritual stones below 10 million."
Li Chuyi almost choked to death. Damn, the rich people in the imperial capital are different. The branches they casually say are in the tens of millions.
The little fat man came to his senses immediately when he heard Li Sinian's increasingly heavy breathing and waved his hands.
"Let's put it one way or another. I still have to pay for the room. I don't want the old guys in the Mu family to gossip. Just give me a discount."
Recalling some of Mu Fangli's instructions, Nalan Guangcheng smiled and said, "The daily rate here is 5,000 spirit stones, and the monthly rate is 120,000 spirit stones. Even if I give you a 50% discount, it will be 60,000 spirit stones."
"It's just a few gossips. Just say it. I'm generous and won't bother with them!"
Waving his hand, the fat man said it without hesitation, without even taking a breath. Even though Nalan Guangcheng was prepared, he was still shaken.
I've seen people who change their faces quickly, but this is the first time I've seen someone who changes his face quickly without a hint of change.
The teasing on Nalan Guangcheng's face didn't make Li Chuyi feel embarrassed at all. Just kidding, staying in a hotel for a month costs tens of thousands of spirit stones. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!
"Tell me, what can I help you with? Should I mess with Yuwen Taihao? No problem, I have this idea. I will mess with him when I am ready. You can do it!" The little fat man said with a righteous face.
"It's not that complicated. My request is very simple."
Nalan Guangcheng smiled slightly.
"I want you to help me persuade her."
With a click, the little fat man's jaw dropped.
"Huh?!"
