Liu Yi emphasized the words "at all costs" twice. Lu Li looked at Liu Yi's beautiful face and vaguely understood a deeper meaning.
If he nodded, he could marry the most beautiful lady of the Liu Family, and he would become the most honorable son-in-law of the Liu Family.
The Liu Family would grant him endless resources to help him improve his strength. If the Liu Family could survive this disaster, he would become a rising star in the Wu Ling County and do whatever he wanted in the county.
The question was … could he say yes?
He had more important things to do. He had to join a Fifth-rank Royal Family as a Guest Warrior and use the Teleportation Formation of the Fifth-rank Royal Family to go to the Central Plains and ask the powerful warriors of the Lu Family to rescue his parents.
He was the son and daughter of the Lu Family, one of the Top 10 Bloodlines of the Central Plains. How could he join the Internal Clan or the External Clan of any other Family?
Lu Ling had warned him clearly that he could only be a Guest Warrior if he joined any Family. He could never join the Internal Clan or the External Clan.
Therefore, he had to say with a bitter smile, "Lady Yi, I am sorry.
I can promise you that if the Liu Family is in trouble, I will do my best to help.
I have my difficulties. I cannot join the External Clan or the Internal Clan of any Family. I am really sorry. "
Liu Yi's eyes dimmed down. She still did not want to give up and asked, "Really?"
"No." Lu Li's tone was firm.
He thought about it and said, "How about you talk to the Family and give me some resources?
I can make a blood oath that as long as I am alive, I will do my best to help the Liu Family. "
"Ha, ha."
Liu Yi sat back down and shook her head. "Lu Li, you are too naive. Even if I believe you, even … even if I put my life on the line, it will be useless.
No family would waste resources on a guest elder. No one would believe in oaths. "
There was nothing more to say now. Lu Li bowed and said, "Lady Yi, thank you for your hospitality. I will go back now. Rest early."
Lu Li left. Liu Yi was still sitting in the pavilion, feeling sad. For the first time, she had doubts about her own charm.
Those big shots might not like her, but Lu Li, a bumpkin from the tribe, did not like her?
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
After a while, an old man walked over quietly. When he saw Liu Yi's gloomy eyes, he asked in astonishment, "You failed?"
Liu Yi looked up to Patriarch Seven and said with a bitter smile, "Grandpa Seven, Lu Li has his own difficulties. He cannot join any External Clan or Internal Clan. He said that if the Liu Family is in trouble, he will try his best to help …"
"Nonsense!"
The Seventh Elder interrupted Liu Yi's words and said coldly, "He doesn't know what's good for him. Just ignore him and let him fend for himself.
Also … pass on my words, no high grade profound weapons, elixirs or profound skills can be exchanged with him.
Even if he has contribution points, it won't work. If he exchanges low-grade items, the contribution points will double. "
Then Patriarch Seven turned around and left. For him, a genius who could not be used by the Liu Family was no different from a piece of trash.
It was impossible for the Liu Family to spend a large amount of resources to raise an ungrateful wolf who would bite back at the Liu Family.
"Seventh Grandpa …"
Liu Yi still wanted to say a few more words, but the Seventh Elder had already strode away. He had no intention of listening to her explanation at all.
"Should I try again?"
Liu Yi raised her head and looked towards the Guest Clan. She didn't like Lu Li, but she didn't hate him either.
If she could give herself to Lu Li, it would be a good ending. At least, she wouldn't have to worry about when the Family would send her to those big shots to play with.
The way Lu Li looked at her was a bit intoxicated, which meant that Lu Li still had some feelings for her.
If she could let go of her status and be reserved, she might be able to climb into Lu Li's bed. Based on her understanding of Lu Li's character, he would never be irresponsible.
"Never mind!"
Eventually, Liu Yi shook her head and rejected the idea.
She had her pride. She was not a girl from a brothel who could sleep with anyone.
Since Lu Li had already turned her down, how could she be so thick-skinned as to volunteer to sleep with him?
…
Lu Li went back to his own yard. Seeing that he was a bit drunk, Lu Ling asked with a smile, "What is it?
The ladies of the Liu Family want to get you drunk?
You are not fooling around, are you? "
Lu Li scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sis, what are you talking about? How can I be fooling around?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Ling laughed out loud and said in a mocking tone, "My brother has grown up. Okay, go back and cultivate. The Wu Ling County can change at any time.
You have to become stronger. Otherwise, how can you run away with me? "
"Run away?"
Lu Li was surprised. He thought about what Liu Yi said and asked after some thoughts, "Sis, if the Zhao Family really destroys the Liu Family, where should we run to?"
"The Heaven Martial City!"
Lu Ling pointed to the south and said, "If the situation is really that bad, we will go directly to the capital of the Heaven Martial Kingdom.
Then we will find a way to join the Zi Family and become their Guest Warrior. "
There were three kingdoms at the Northern Desert, the Heaven Martial Kingdom, the Heaven Frigid Kingdom and the Heaven Cold Kingdom. The Wu Ling County belonged to the Heaven Martial Kingdom.
However, the people of the Northern Desert did not have a strong sense of belonging to the kingdom. Many people would say that they were the people of the Northern Desert, not the people of the Heaven Martial Kingdom or the Heaven Frigid Kingdom.
Because!
The change of kingdoms at the Northern Desert was too fast. Take the three kingdoms at the moment as an example. The oldest one was established for more than 80 years, and the latest one was the Heaven Frigid Kingdom, which was established only 15 years ago.
There were too many warriors at the Northern Desert. The birth of a powerful warrior often symbolized the rise of a Big Family.
When a Big Family rose, they would fight for territories, mines, resources and so on.
The territory of the Northern Desert was only so big. Most of the territories and resources were in the hands of the Royal Families. Inevitably, there would be wars.
If the Royal Family won, the Family would become the new Royal Family, establish a new kingdom and change its name.
In the recent hundreds of years, more than 30 kingdoms had emerged at the Northern Desert.
Therefore, the people of the Northern Desert had a weak concept of kingdoms. Who cared what kingdom it was?
They were all the people of the Northern Desert.
For Lu Li and Lu Ling, there was no difference between the Heaven Martial Kingdom, the Heaven Frigid Kingdom and the Heaven Frigid Kingdom and the Heaven Frigid Kingdom. Joining any Royal Family was the same as long as they could use the Teleportation Formation to get to the Central Plains.
The capital of the Heaven Martial Kingdom was the closest to the Wu Ling County. If something were to happen, Lu Ling would ask Lu Li to take her to the Heaven Martial Kingdom.
"Cultivate, cultivate!"
Lu Li's mind was weighed down by the thought that he had to travel thousands of miles to get to the Heaven Martial Kingdom.
The fight at the Ice Abyss would come to an end soon. The war at the Wu Ling County was coming.
If the Zhao Family won, what awaited him would be a merciless hunt.
"In half a month, I must master the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill. Also, I must find a way to condense Spirit Sea.
If I can reach the Spirit Sea Realm and have the Rolling Thunder Xuan Skill, my fighting capacity will be greatly enhanced. My chances of survival will be greatly increased. "
