Xin'an Town
The family finished the meal in harmony.
Yin Ren and the others came up from the back hall carrying food. Several people did not dare to speak loudly, but quietly finished their lunch and then got busy.
Li Ye was tricked by Yin Ren into delivering some food to Shutian.
At this time, Shutian was pacing back and forth in the wing room on the third floor. Others don't know An Xin's status in Dongdao, but he understands. Just now, he was accidentally tricked by Ren Susu and offended Anxin. If he hadn't been of some use in Dongdao, Anxin would have killed him just now.
He just wanted to use a carrier pigeon to send a private message to Gu Tian. He had carefully considered the content of the private message. It was a lie to praise Gu Tian, because he knew that Gu Tian would not do this at all. It was just a matter of passing that An Xin might have two intentions, and he did not I wonder what Gu Tian can do to An Xin. After all, the relationship between Jianghu people is complicated, and An Xin's father helping Misty Valley doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Only those reform suggestions for Dongdao are the top priority. They point out that Dongdao's current power is dispersed and the strength of each island is uneven. It is recommended that Gu Tian strengthen the concentration of power on the main island.
That's right! He believes that this suggestion will make Gu Tian look at him with admiration and will reuse him in the next period of time.
In fact, sometimes it does not matter whether there are loopholes in the reform proposals. What is important is whether the people who read the proposals feel that they are what they think. He is a very observant person. He has escaped the pursuit in the Misty Valley and the purge in the East Island. This time he believes that he will be right.
Just when he was confident, a knock on the door broke his illusion.
"Who?"
"I, the clerk in the store, Yin Ren asked me to deliver lunch to you."
"Okay, I'll open the door for you."
As the door slowly opened, Li Ye brought the food and placed it on the table in the side room.
Shutian looked at the food on the plate and couldn't help but said:
"Only this?"
"Yes, that's all. If you need anything, I'll ask the chef to make it for you."
"No need, a bowl of white rice and a plate of vegetables are already good. Young man, please wait a moment. I'll finish it quickly. You can take the bowl and chopsticks down by the way."
"Okay, you eat first."
......
Shutian finished his lunch quickly, which mainly consisted of a bowl of white rice and a plate of seasonal vegetables. He couldn't eat slowly even if he wanted to.
When Li Ye saw Shutian finished eating, he was about to take the empty bowl down to wash it. But he was grabbed by Shutian.
"Wait a minute, young man. Let's chat with me. I see that you have a wonderful skeleton and are a good material for practicing martial arts. You just lack some opportunities. If you get a good book on martial arts, you will definitely become famous in the future."
"You think so too. I said there is something wrong with what Boss An said. He also said that ordinary exercises can lay a good foundation. I just said that only by practicing advanced exercises can you get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Ye obviously heard the topic that he was interested in, and he quickly sat down and wanted to talk about his martial arts knowledge with the scholar in front of him who looked very educated.
.......
Towards evening, a young man in white robe came to the inn.
An Xin was stunned for a moment when he saw the visitor, and then asked:
"Lei Jie, if you are not protecting my senior brother on Dongdao, why did you come to me?"
When Lei Jie heard An Xin's question, he first clasped his fists and saluted, and then replied:
"Junior Brother An, let me handle some things."
"Are you okay? Come to my place to handle things? What do you want to do?"
"In Qimen Island, there are already 40 disciples who have mastered more than one thousand games, seven disciples who have mastered more than two thousand games, and one disciple who has mastered more than three thousand games."
Lei Jie's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it warmly. Ren Susu on the side opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief:
"No, Dongdao actually mastered the art of Qimen Dunjia to such an extent? Even compared to Misty Valley, it's not bad."
An Xin frowned and said:
"So Shutian is secretly suppressing his disciples."
"Well, that's right! He secretly trained a few confidants specifically to deal with Dongdao's inspections. Those outstanding disciples had to remain silent in order to survive."
Lei Jie's words were somewhat cold. He was one of the first people to witness the strength of the East Island, so he naturally knew how important the East Island's rule of not suppressing the old over the new was.
"Well, go up! Let the disciple who has mastered more than 3,000 games come to me tomorrow, and I will take a look."
"Um!"
.......
Wing room on the third floor
Li Yeji had been fooled by Shutian and almost knelt down to become his disciple.
But at this moment, the door was pushed open.
Shutian and Li Ye heard the noise and looked towards the door.
Lei Jie was seen standing at the door, smiling at the two of them. The smile was full of amusement.
When Shutian saw Lei Jie, he quickly stood up and said respectfully:
"Hall Master Lei, why are you here?"
"I'm here to catch you. What else could I do here? Junior Brother An didn't even say a nice word just now, and he didn't even know if he would let me have dinner. I can only finish it early and leave early."
When Shutian heard Lei Jie's words, he was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be calm and said:
"Hall Master Lei, I'm just kidding. I, Shutian, have never done anything to be sorry for Dong Dao."
"Oh, really? Are the names Yang Xianzi, Yue Shuchen, and Hu Tianxing familiar? They are the disciples you used to deal with the inspection on Dongdao. Do you know their fate?"
When Shutian heard Lei Jie's question, he was sweating from behind. He didn't know that the things he did to oppress his disciples in Dongdao were exposed. But at this time, fear was useless and he could only fight to the death.
"Hall Master Lei, listen to my explanation, everything happens for a reason."
Then he put his hands behind his back and did some strange tricks.
"Oh! Tell me what reason you have, I'm all ears."
"You are listening all the time, Lei Jie, are you sick, or do you think you are sure of victory and become a talkative villain?"
Just when Lei Jie wanted to play tricks on Shutian, he was slapped on the head by An Xin who had just come up from downstairs.
"Look, what you did was completely predicted by my mother. She said that you would definitely use your martial arts skills to trick Shutian, and Shutian would secretly use the Five Elements Escape Technique to escape. Fortunately, I wanted to come up and test it. Check the authenticity, otherwise Shutian will run away because of your ability."
After hearing An Xin's lesson, Lei Jie rubbed his head and said uncertainly:
"I'm two realms higher than Shutian and I shouldn't let him escape."
After hearing Lei Jie's words, An Xin shook his head and said helplessly:
"Hey, sure enough, even your explanation was guessed by my mother. She guessed that you would confidently talk about the realm of martial arts."
When Lei Jie heard An Xin's words, he was about to speak, but An An stopped him and said:
"Do you still want to say that even if you let Shutian escape, you will still have me with you."
Lei Jie nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and quickly shook his head.
At this time, Shutian was stunned, and the hands behind his back stopped making small movements. He knew that his little tricks were completely insignificant in front of An Xin. What he didn't expect was that the person who forced him into a certain death situation was his childhood sweetheart, his junior sister.
......
In the end, An Xin didn't keep Lei Jie for dinner, and didn't even offer him a glass of water.
Lei Jie had no choice but to face the afterglow of the setting sun and return to the East Island with Shutian, who had his meridians in his hands and feet cut off. It was just that he looked elegant when he came, but he was bruised and swollen when he returned.
That’s right, it’s from An Xin! The good name is: let him have a longer memory, and don't push him until he can take action in the future.
.....
Inside the inn
Ren Susu and An Daoxuan went to the wing room on the third floor to rest.
The rest of the people gathered in the inn lobby.
An Xin said to Li Ye who bowed his head:
"Li Ye, if you really can't do it, you should go find your father. You are really wronged by working here. In the past, I just thought that you just lacked some experience in the world and was kind-hearted. Now it seems that I was wrong. Come on, you are not kind-hearted, you are really short-sighted. I want to destroy a person from Dongdao, but you dare to stop in front of him and ask me: Why do you attack Shutian people when they are so good?
How capable are you to interfere in the affairs of my East Island? Ask any force or master in the world to see who dares to interfere in the affairs of my East Island.
Forget it, I won’t say anything else, just go! "
