Jiang Qiling's grandpa died at the Gargoyle Mountain. In order to provoke her, Lu Li made a bet with her.
Lu Li stated two conditions. If Jiang Qiling could make her father kneel in front of her lover's grave and people of the Central Plains worship her grandpa, Lu Li would kowtow to her and wash her feet.
Lu Li didn't think it was possible. At least, the first condition was hard for Jiang Qiling to achieve. What was the Jiang Family Patriarch?
What was his abilities?
If Jiang Qiling wanted to achieve the first condition, she must be more powerful than her father. She must be at least at the Earth Immortal Realm.
Was it so easy to reach the Earth Immortal Realm?
As far as Lu Li knew, there were only three Earth Immortal Realm warriors in the Lu Family. Lu Zhengyang was badly injured and would not wake up again.
The Lu Family had countless disciples and endless resources. It was hard for the Lu Family to have an Earth Immortal Realm warrior. How could Jiang Qiling do it so easily?
That being said …
At that moment, Lu Li had a feeling that Jiang Qiling could really do it. She could even surpass her father and become the leader of the Pavilion of Delicacy.
Because this woman was too crazy!
She could not survive without being crazy. When a person was crazy about something, her achievements would be horrifying.
Jiang Qiling must be crazy. Her life was meaningless. The only thing that kept her going was the bet with Lu Li.
Jiang Qiling must be talented. The Jiang Family had endless resources. If she could reach the peak of the Eternal Realm in half a year, she could reach the Human Sovereign Realm in a couple of years …
Lu Li was taken aback. Disciples of the 12 Royal Families were not to be underestimated.
Jiang Qiling had the eighth rank Bloodline, Soulfeast Butterfly. If she could keep this up, she would have a place on the list of warlord of the Central Plains.
After the time for more than a dozen breaths, Lu Li came back to his senses. He walked into the room but didn't close the door.
He walked to a square table, poured a goblet of Bloody Rose and drank it up. Then he exclaimed, "Lady Qi, there is a saying that I didn't understand before. Now, I have a deeper understanding of it. It is called — a scholar who has been away for three days will be looked at with new eyes."
"Ha, ha, ha ~"
Jiang Qiling laughed, a beautiful smile. She trembled and her cheeks blushed. She said with pride, "You are here early. In another two months, I will reach the Noble Lord Realm."
"Amazing!"
Lu Li exclaimed with sincerity, "Lady Qi, you are the most talented person I have ever seen. Maybe one day, I really will kowtow to you and wash your feet."
"Definitely!"
Jiang Qiling put on a serious expression and said, "Lu Li, don't regret it when the time comes."
"Hahaha!"
Lu Li laughed out loud and said, "I, Lu Li, am a man of indomitable spirit. If I am willing to bet, I am willing to admit defeat. Of course, I will not deny it."
Jiang Qiling nodded and asked, "Lu Li, didn't you go back to the Lu Family?
Why are you here?
I did not know until I came back to the Pavilion of Delicacy that you are the son of the famous Lu Renhuang. Sorry for not recognizing you. "
Lu Li squinted at her and asked, "Did Du Ran tell you?
Did Du Ran inform you that you were here? "
"Hehe!"
Jiang Qiling combed her hair and said, "You have underestimated the Pavilion of Delicacy. As a matter of fact … I have been informed about what happened to you in the City of Mystic Armor.
I know that you were exiled to the Omen Island and you were rescued halfway.
You came from the Northern Desert and I thought you would go back to the Northern Desert. Therefore, I have been living here for half a month just to wait for you. "
The 12 Royal Families were powerful!
Lu Li exclaimed again. There must be many spies of the Pavilion of Delicacy in the City of Mystic Armor.
But it was understandable. The 12 Royal Families were the most powerful forces in the world. Their spies should be all over the Central Plains.
Their tentacles covered the entire Central Prefecture, which was why they had absolute control over the entire Central Prefecture.
Lu Li remembered the more than a dozen patriarchs of the External Clan of the Lu Family and the hundreds of deacons.
When Lu Zhengtan came back, he summoned more than 100 deacons. Some of them must be in charge of intelligence.
"Lady Qi, I am sorry."
Lu Li didn't dare to talk about the fact that Jiang Qiling knew he was exiled from the Lu Family. After all, this was a dirty secret of the Lu Family.
Jiang Qiling put on a solemn expression and said with sincerity, "Lu Li, to tell you the truth, the Lu Family has sent out an internal notice. You and your aunt are no longer disciples of the Lu Family.
Have you ever thought about joining other forces?
If you want to join the Pavilion of Delicacy, I can make arrangements for you to become an elite disciple. The family will provide you with all the resources. As long as you can reach the Noble Lord Realm, I will get you a patriarch of the External Clan.
You don't have to worry about anyone's feelings at the Pavilion of Delicacy. I will take care of you! "
"No longer a disciple of the Lu Family?"
Lu Li's expressions darkened. He didn't care for this identity and he didn't have any emotional attachment to the Lu Family.
That being said, he still had the blood of the Lu Family in him. He was exiled from the Lu Family and he could not be buried in the ancestral temple after his death. He would become a lonely ghost …
Jiang Qiling calmed down after seeing Lu Li's expressions. She said after a pause, "Lu Li, don't be sad. Now that you are at the Pavilion of Delicacy, the Jiang Family is your home. As long as I am alive, I will kill anyone who dares to bully you!"
Lu Li forced a smile, shook his head and said, "Lady Qi, I have told you before that I don't like to live off a woman and I don't like to live under someone else's roof.
If the Lu Family doesn't want me, I will build a Lu Family of my own. When my family is stronger than the Lu Family, I will be the rightful heir! "
"Ha, ha."
Jiang Qiling pressed her lips together. She already knew the answer but she still asked, unwilling to give up.
That being said, if Lu Li were to join the Pavilion of Delicacy, he would not be the Lu Li she knew.
Lu Li thought about it. Soon, he forgot about the fact that he was exiled from the Lu Family. Even Lu Zhengtan wanted to kill him. Lu Li didn't think it was a big deal.
After a while, he looked up and said, "Lady Qi, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Qiling was surprised. Theoretically speaking, Lu Li was not a man who would ask for help. She grinned and said, "Tell me, what is it?"
Lu Li said seriously, "I want to ask you to seal off the north of the Central Plains. I don't want anyone from the Central Plains to go to the Northern Desert, not for at least 10 years. I need time!"
Jiang Qiling was smart. She figured something out at once. She thought about it and said, "Lu Li, instead of going to the Northern Desert, you might as well find a place at the Central Plains, like the north of the Central Plains.
You can fight for a Prefectural City first and then a Region City.
Even a Region of the Central Plains has much more resources than the Northern Desert. The Northern Desert is a barren place. What is there to miss? "
"No …"
Lu Li knew that as long as he asked, Jiang Qiling would help him get a Region. But this was too much. Also, the Pavilion of Delicacy would not agree. Nobody could tell what would happen then.
"Alright!"
Jiang Qiling nodded and said, "I will try my best to help you. But if someone from the Lu Family wants to go, I cannot stop them. I will have to inform you in advance."
Lu Li looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you!"
Jiang Qiling squinted her eyes. Suddenly, she moved closer to Lu Li and said in a sneaky tone, "You said that nobody is allowed to go to the Northern Desert. That doesn't include … me, right?"
"You …"
Lu Li was speechless. She was a devil in disguise.
If she went to the Northern Desert, there would be chaos. Lu Li touched his nose and said, "Lady Qi, don't you need to cultivate?
I want to kneel down and wash your feet. "
"Ha, ha ~"
Jiang Qiling tilted her head and said with a grin, "Cultivation must be done in moderation. Otherwise, you will be possessed by the devil.
I just want to go there to relax. Can't I do that?
If not, then I will have to think about what you just said … "
"Alright!"
Lu Li was troubled. He didn't know what to do with this little devil. He thought about it and said, "You can go there and have some fun. But if you make trouble, you know how I am."
"Deal, ha, ha ~"
