Chapter 85: A Night in Shibei
Yang Le not only took a shower, but even cleaned his clothes. With his cultivation greatly increased, he directly exercised his kung fu, and his hot skin was quickly dried.
After coming out, Lu Qifeng had no intention of drinking anymore, and instead took the initiative to bring up what happened back then.
"My daughter's name is Lu Xiaoman. Although she did not participate in that war, she died because of it..."
Mr. Lu seemed to have overestimated his ability to bear it. He had just stood up and found himself unable to continue speaking.
Seeing the old man's regretful expression, Elaine walked to him obediently, picked up the cattail leaf fan on the table, and started fanning the old man.
The incandescent lamp in the living room seemed a little dim. In the quiet room, only the shadow cast by the fan on the ground was still shaking. The old man lowered his head. Although his lips were slightly open, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
The ravines above were crowded together, as if trying to stop the tears that had been silently shed.
After a long time, Lu Qifeng suddenly took a deep breath, exhaled for a long time, and then narrated with dull eyes:
"I was still a soldier back then. The old man Xie you call me is my old leader. Compared with ordinary soldiers, the battles between us cultivators are more cruel!"
"Fortunately, through the sincere unity of all Chinese people, we achieved the final victory, and because of this war, China became the most powerful country in the world!"
"I am a cultivator who is dedicated to serving the public. It was not until I was 48 years old that my wife and I gave birth to a daughter. I named her Xiaoman, hoping that she would be like the rising sun, with a bright heart.
Warm others.”
"At that time, China was still victorious with one against five, but the remnants lurking in the dark still refused to give up. They even pretended to be ordinary bandits and hid in the deep mountains and dense forests."
"One night when Xiaoman was five years old, I, who was already a member of the Non-Management Committee, suddenly received an emergency order saying that an enemy base camp had been discovered!"
"What I regret most is that I didn't arrange the mother and daughter properly. During that mission, we were ambushed by the enemy. Although I was also seriously injured, when I came back, the home I once had had been burned to the ground.
ash......"
At this point in the story, Yang Le still doesn't understand why this old man is so attentive to Elaine?
He originally wanted to offer some words of comfort, but the old man didn't give him a chance to speak.
"The place I live in now is built exactly as it was back then. I suffered a severe head injury before, which caused my cultivation level to decline. Although everyone calls me Lu Xian, in fact, I only have the strength of the ninth level of heaven now!
"
With a heavy heart, Yang Le and Yi Lian left the old man's house. Not long after they left, Lu Qifeng looked at the hole blocked with a towel and roared like a lion. Even the eaves of the house were
Several tiles on the floor were shattered.
"Yang Le! You bastard! This is my face-washing handkerchief!"
The big one and the little one seemed to be fine, but they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
After returning to the house, Yang Le was surprised to find that at some point, there was a wooden sign with his name on the door frame. He was about to continue practicing when he was stopped by Elaine next to him.
"Dad, Grandpa Lu is so pitiful. I want to move over and live with him."
"No! If I pass now, the old man will be very
You have to beat me to death!" Yang Le refused without even thinking.
But he didn’t expect that Elaine would continue to say despite his obstruction:
"Dad, you misunderstood. What I meant was that I was the only one to go there. Now that you are a member of the non-management committee, you must often go out to complete tasks. I don't want to affect your cultivation! Isn't this a matter of killing two birds with one stone?
?”
His daughter's words reminded Yang Le. After all, he is no longer the invincible god he once was. Starting from scratch, he will definitely be in danger often. With a master like Lu Qifeng to protect him, Elaine's safety should not be a problem.
of.
Seeing her father still hesitant, the little girl covered her mouth and joked with him:
"Dad, except for fried stinky tofu, your cooking skills are far inferior to Grandpa Lu. I am still growing. What should I do if I can't grow taller due to lack of nutrition? You agreed.
Bar!"
How could Yang Le not know that Yi Lian said this deliberately to reassure him?
But after thinking about it, this was indeed the best way at the moment. Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to say to Elaine:
"Okay then! But I don't know what Mr. Lu means yet. Let's start tomorrow..."
"I agree!"
This sudden sentence startled the two people in the room. After opening the door, they realized that the old man had already followed.
Yang Le's face was covered with black lines, and he said to the old man speechlessly:
"Mr. Lu, what song are you singing? You don't really want to come over and beat me up, do you?"
Lu Qifeng stared at Elaine with some embarrassment and said:
"Ahem... Am I, Lao Lu, such a stingy person? Didn't I suddenly think of a gift that I haven't given to Elaine yet, so I sent it to her specially!"
Unexpectedly, the old boy actually took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to the little girl and continued:
"Elaine, this is an amulet. Don't open it until your life is at stake. The old man has to go back to clean up the house for you, so he won't go in. Grandpa will buy vegetables and cook you a feast tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man disappeared. Yang Le at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Elaine inexplicably:
"Daughter, you saved daddy again!"
The well-behaved Elaine put a sachet in his hand, said it was a token from Sister Mengmeng, and then went to sleep.
After returning to the bedroom, Yang Le sat cross-legged on the floor. As for why he didn't go to bed, have you seen anyone practicing on Simmons?
Directly running for a big Zhoutian, although the strength has obviously improved slightly, there is still some distance before hitting the final barrier!
"I should be at the ninth level of the mortal level now. I am only one step away from entering the so-called spiritual level. However, I don't know what my current combat power is. I must find someone to practice with me tomorrow!"
Although that small glass of wine made Yang Le feel a little sore, overall it was worth the money. No matter how clean his body was, he still needed energy to keep up with the progress.
In fact, what Yang Le doesn't know is that even if a master of the ninth level takes this medicine, it is measured in drops. A cup like him will not only have special effects on China.
Except for Lu Qifeng and others who have made special contributions and occasionally do this, others almost do not receive this treatment.
Yang Le slept very soundly that night. As a former god, with his current strength, he did not need to adapt at all. However, it was precisely because he had never been so weak that he was not ready to fight against himself now.
Ability is almost unknown.
It's like a boxing champion time-traveling into an elementary school student. No matter how powerful your tricks are, if you meet a slightly stronger adult, you can be eliminated in one go.
Since you are looking for someone to practice with, there must be a reason. Fortunately, Yang Le already has a suitable candidate in mind!
Because he worked the night shift last night, Zhang Tao had just slept for two or three hours when he came back in the morning. Without thinking, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
Some cursed and opened the door. It turned out to be the kid who ran away last night. In order to enter the dormitory, this guy even got a D-class member's badge early in the morning and pinned it on his chest.
"There's something wrong with you, right? I'm sleeping, why are you here?"
Zhang Tao cursed impatiently. Unexpectedly, Yang Le was not angry at all, but instead said to him with a smile:
"Are you scolding enough? I'm here to challenge you today. I originally wanted to be gentler, but your bitchy words have given me a reason to do it!"
"Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Could it be that he was frightened out of his wits by Lu Xian last night?" Although Zhang Tao thought this in his mind, he didn't show mercy at all.
"Boy, immediately! Immediately! Disappear from the door of my dormitory. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm afraid I'll get angry. Get out of here!" After saying that, he slammed the door with a bang.
"Dong dong dong~, dong dong dong~"
Unexpectedly, this kid not only did not leave, but also knocked on the door. The shouting sound spread throughout the dormitory, and even other people on the night shift were woken up by him.
All the doors opened in unison, and heads with dark circles under their eyes stared at this guy fiercely, as if they would kill you on the spot if you didn't give them a reasonable explanation.
This was what Yang Le wanted, so he shouted like a wild bull:
"Yang Le, a non-regular member of the Management Committee and an ordinary member of the field service, launched a formal competition challenge to Zhang Tao, a member of the non-management committee of the internal service and spiritual level! Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
He was not very familiar with the rules and didn't know what to say when an insider challenged him, so he simply copied what Zhang Mengmeng said that night, word for word.
As soon as these words came out, the whole dormitory became lively. Everyone looked excited, but they couldn't sleep anymore. Some good-hearted people even stuck their heads out and shouted:
"Brother Tao, please tell me something. We are all waiting for you to teach him a lesson! Oh, Oli!!"
Zhang Tao, who was a little helpless, walked out of the room after a long time in shorts and vest. He was yawning and seemed to be still awake. He did not answer the question at the first time until he passed by Yang Le.
He said sleepily:
"Why are you still standing there? You still don't know where our martial arts arena is, right? Come with me!"
As the two left, except for a small number of members who liked to eat melons, most of them chose to close the door and go to sleep. For a contest that had no suspense, they had no interest in watching.
