The Disciple's Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 260

[Chapter 258: Queen of the Imperial Capital]

“I told you not to follow me.” Li Xu said.

But Bai Gu followed him anyway, lowering his head and not speaking, like a child who had done something wrong, with a pitiful look.

Li Xu had an illusion that if he had eyes, tears would slowly fall.

“You…” Li Xu wanted to drive him away, but seeing his look… forget it.

Seeing that Li Xu did not scold him, Bai Gu smiled with a creaking smile at the corners of his fleshless mouth.

After following Li Xu for a while, he saw two people sitting cross-legged not far away, with lightning pouring down and tempering their bodies, and he couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

But he didn’t say much, and followed Li Xu silently.

“Master, you’re back so soon.” Da’er opened her eyes. Did the master come back too soon?

An Zhiyu shouted, “Master.”

“Yeah.” Li Xu nodded. I have already got the information I want. There is no need to stay here any longer. “Let’s go, let’s go out of Lei Ze.”

“Aren’t you going to temper them?” the two girls asked.

Li Xu looked at the crackling lightning in the sky and said, “It’s too slow to temper like this. When I have time, I will take you to the mountain and sea world. That is the best place to train your body.”

The power of Lei Ze is still too small. There is only thunder and no other danger. It is estimated that it will take several years to master it.

After a few years, the opportunity will be gone.

“Who is this?” Dahu noticed the bones standing behind Li Xu.

Li Xu briefly introduced the bones with spiritual wisdom, and the bones smiled and said, “Hello.”

Dahu and An Zhiyu looked at each other, stared at the bones quietly, and smiled.

The bones were also grinning.

…

Li Xu led the way in front, Dahu and An Zhiyu followed closely, quickly left Lei Ze, and took the fish to the central capital of Zhuanxu State, Zhuanxu Imperial Capital.

The next day at noon.

Appeared in Zhuanxu Imperial Capital again, the most prosperous central city.

The bones looked around like a curious baby.

This was the first time he appeared here, so he was naturally curious and scared many vendors.

“You two watch him, I’ll find you later.”

Li Xu asked his two apprentices to watch the bones, and he went to the headquarters of Shana Building alone.

The first thing is to get the money back.

As soon as Li Xu appeared, he saw Yun Xiangyi from Shana Building. She was wearing a red dress, with black hair scattered behind her. She walked slowly and her figure was particularly charming.

She saw Li Xu, who was more unique in the crowd, at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow.

“Where is Narcissus?”

“Please follow me.” Yun Xiangyi made a gesture of invitation and said, “The goddess is at the top of this building. What do you want to see her for?”

Li Xu said, “You owe me two hundred million, how can you pay it back?”

Hearing this, Yun Xiangyi paused, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn’t say much, just smiled.

All the way to the top floor.

Zi Buyu stood on the railing, calm and composed, wearing a veil, without saying a word, and looked at Li Xu quietly.

Hua Xiangrong was surrounded by flower petals, and she was filled with a special fragrance, as if the fairy of flowers had descended, both sacred and beautiful.

She was indeed one of the four wonders of the moment.

On the table in front of Hua Xiangrong, there was a small table, and on the table there was a bottle, which seemed to contain a world. There

was mist inside.

Li Xu could vaguely see a beautiful woman standing in the Yangshen bottle, as if she was in another world, staring at him across the long river of time.

“You’re here.”

The Yangshen bottle came over quickly, at a very fast speed, and stuck to Li Xu’s face, as if she was very happy.

Li Xu pinched the bottle and vaguely saw a beautiful woman in fluttering clothes in the bottle smiling at him.

Li Xu stretched out his hand to flick the bottle and said, “Give me money, two hundred million.”

While he was talking, he also looked at Zi Buyu, which was the price agreed upon at the beginning.

“What do you want so much money for? I’ll keep it for you first.” The woman in the Yangshen bottle said.

“No, I’ll do it myself, and prepare the money quickly.” Li Xu looked at the Yangshen bottle and kept flicking the small bottle.

“Are you so short of money?” asked Narcissus.

“Very short of money!” said Li Xu. He would marry Xiao Da’er soon.

What he lacked now was money. This was a large sum of money. Moreover, it was not a question of whether he needed it or not. This was his labor payment.

Seeing that Li Xu was a little persistent, Narcissus stopped laughing and asked Yun Xiangyi to pay.

Li Xu took the money and was about to leave, but Yangshenping stopped him and said, “You are leaving just like that.”

“What else?” asked Li Xu.

“How about staying with me for one night?”

“You can’t come out, why should I stay overnight?”

“If I can come out, will you stay overnight?” Shuixian’er said with a chuckle.

Li Xu said, “I’m leaving. I have other things to do.”

He didn’t plan to stay in Zhuanxu Imperial Capital for a long time. After finding Shuixian’er, he would find Jijiu and Yushi.

…

Imperial Academy.

As soon as Li Xu arrived, a man with a knife case on his back walked out of the Imperial Academy. This old man was of a certain age, but he still looked sharp.

His steps were vigorous and he was so fast that the smile on his mouth was about to break his ears.

“I’m here.” The old man said, “I was just looking for you. Let’s go to the Imperial Censorate.”

The speaker was the respected Jijiu of the Imperial Academy.

Li Xu nodded and followed him.

The old man and the young man quickly crossed the street and came to the Imperial Censorate. The Imperial Censorate was even larger than the Imperial Academy, with many disciples.

When Li Xu and Jijiu appeared here, many disciples looked over. Jijiu was familiar to them, but Li Xu was unfamiliar. Who was this young man?

They couldn’t remember for a while.

After a while, someone finally remembered who it was. This was the famous Li Xu. Soon, there was a lot of discussion here. Looking at Li Xu, they felt that his back was majestic.

“He is Li Xu. He looks too young.” Someone said.

“He is so strong that he can slaughter the Taoist Palace alone.”

“He is so strong.”

They have all heard the rumors about Penglai Stream.

A breeze blew, and the imperial doctor with a square face appeared in front of Li Xu. Just as he was about to bow, Li Xu said, “That’s not necessary. How about the things I asked you to check?”

“I checked it as soon as I came back, and there is nothing.” The imperial doctor shook his head.

Whether it is Daozu or the fisherman, there is no record of this.

There are still some records about Daozu, after all, he is a figure who spreads the Tao, but the information about the fisherman is even less, so little that it can be almost ignored.

They all exist in history.

They have lived for at least five hundred years, and they are not at all for them to check.

It is conceivable that many historical truths were obliterated at the beginning.

“Are there any problems with these two people?” Jijiu asked softly.

“No, I just want to know their information.” Li Xu said, because it was really too important. These two people were the most mysterious tasks Li Xu knew.

Daozu was the founder of Tao.

The fisherman was even more mysterious.

The tree demon he met in Penglai Stream got half of his skills, and became so powerful that he dared to confront him.

Could it be that the history of the fisherman was more terrifying than that of Daozu?

Li Xu thought about it and couldn’t come up with an answer. He looked at the Imperial Censor and Jijiu: “In addition to the library of Zhuanxu Imperial Capital, are there any more ancient libraries here? Recording history?”

When the two heard this, they were moved and shook their heads.

Zhuanxu Imperial Capital was founded 501 years ago, and several generations of emperors have been replaced. All the developments have been recorded by historians. The history of these hundreds of years of development is recorded, which can be said to be very complete. How could there be a more complete library than the Imperial Capital?

“Wait.” The Imperial Academy’s chief academic thought of something, “Is there really one?”

The Imperial Censor also thought of something and suddenly frowned.

“Tell me about it.”

The two shook their heads, not knowing what to say.

“Tell me? What can’t be said?” Li Xu asked.

“The remnants of the previous dynasty.” The chief academic said four words softly.

As soon as his four words came out, Li Xu understood, “Where are they all? Are there any living people?”

“Currently only one is still alive.” The Imperial Censor said, that was a very long time ago. “This person is a living history, maybe he knows something.”

Li Xu waved his sleeves and said, “Then let’s go.”

“He is imprisoned in a very special place. If you want to go, you have to apply to Empress Zhuanxu.” After all, this is where a big shot from the previous dynasty is imprisoned, and this kind of thing is a bit sensitive.

If it were an ordinary person, there would be no chance to meet him, but Li Xu is not an ordinary person, but he still has to apply to the empress.

If she doesn’t agree, there’s no way.

“Let’s go, let’s meet her right now.” Li Xu said.

The chief academic and the Imperial Censor accompanied Li Xu into the palace.

With the two big guys there, the journey was smooth and they finally arrived at the palace where the empress lived.

There were four maids at the door, all of them bowed, they were all old acquaintances.

“Please, the empress invites you.”

The four maids made a gesture of invitation, Li Xu stepped into the palace, turned around, and found that the chief wine and the imperial doctor were stopped.

“The empress said that only Mr. Li can go in, please trouble the chief wine and the imperial doctor to wait outside.”

The chief wine and the imperial doctor put on a sour face, but did not say much.

Li Xu retracted his gaze. One of the maids led the way in front. After passing a misty path, they finally arrived at a palace.

On the palace, a beautiful woman covered her body with a blanket, her shoulders half exposed, her legs long, yawning, and lying on a Phoenix chair.

Li Xu glanced casually. The queen seemed to have just gotten up.

“What do you want to see me for?” The woman leaned to one side, and the blanket covering her body slipped a little, revealing a little white. The maid beside her quickly covered the blanket.

Li Xu retracted his gaze. This female emperor was too exposed.

“I want to see someone from the previous dynasty.” Li Xu bowed his hands.

The voice rang in the hall. The empty hall had no sound and seemed a little cold. Li Xu clearly felt that the woman who was originally lying on the Phoenix chair with a lazy look became a little cold, and cold malice was entangled.

Her narrow eyebrows exuded a coldness.

She suddenly sat up straight, quickly covered her body with a blanket, and looked at Li Xu with her legs crossed.

Li Xu was also looking at her at this time. If he guessed correctly, this woman was only covered with a blanket and had no clothes inside.

This queen was really brave and could fight with An Zhiyu.

“There is still a person alive in the previous dynasty. What are you going to do with him?”

“I want to ask him something. Please let me go.”

“Wait for me for a while.” The queen stood up, covered her hands with a blanket, and walked to the back of the palace with bare white legs. Several maids followed her slowly.

After a while, the queen came out again. She was wearing a red gauze skirt, with her hands folded on her waist, and walked out step by step.

“You are going to see him. This is a big deal. For the safety of our dynasty, I have to follow you personally.”

“As long as you agree.” Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the queen.

She was plump and slender, with light steps, her clothes and rings rustled, her jade-like skin was blushing, but she was blooming with coldness. She was really beautiful.

Several maids followed her quietly.

“Come with me, I’ll lead the way.” Empress Zhuanxu said, “He is imprisoned at the ends of the earth. He is the only one imprisoned at the ends of the earth, but I’m curious about what you want to ask?”

“Have you heard of the fisherman?”

“No.” Empress Zhuanxu shook her head, her black hair flying, a faint fragrance drifting over, Li Xu walked two or three steps to the side.

The empress stopped, slightly turned her body, stared at Li Xu, and said, “Why are you so far away from me?”

“I’m afraid of bumping into the empress.” Li Xu said awkwardly. The fragrance on her body was too strong, and it was easy to be distracted if he was so close.

“Hehe!”

She suddenly laughed crisply, and the maid looked at her blankly. The empress actually laughed, and she recovered instantly.

She felt that her smile just now was inappropriate.

However, she couldn’t help it.

“Do you really not remember me?” The empress whispered, her voice was as small as a mosquito.

“I…” Li Xu was wondering, and just as he was about to speak, the voices of the chief priest and the imperial censor suddenly came out from the door, “Empress!”

The two of them bowed, and the empress finally came out, her face was full of smiles, her eyes were full of beautiful eyes, gorgeous but not vulgar, beautiful but not delicate, and she looked very happy. Did

she encounter something happy?

What happy thing could there be?

I couldn’t figure it out.

“Come with me.” The empress led the way in front, and several maids followed behind her.

“Empress, you are going to lead the way yourself, but there is actually no need. The imperial censor and I know the way.” The chief priest said.

The empress suddenly stopped, without turning around, but just glanced at the chief priest coldly with her peripheral vision, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.

“When did the emperor need you to teach me how to do things? I have my reasons for going.” The empress said coldly.

“Yes… I am rude.” The chief priest said, this woman is crazy, she was smiling just now, why did she suddenly become like this, as if I owed her money.

Women are so fickle.

Jijiu didn’t say anything more. He wasn’t the kind of person who would talk for no reason.

“Is your queen’s ovulation disorder? She’s changed so much?” Li Xu said softly.

“Shh, shhh, shhh…”

Jijiu and the Imperial Censor signaled him not to talk nonsense. If she heard it, it would be troublesome. But it was too late. The queen slowly turned around, her face as cold as ice.
