Li Ye didn't expect that Cui Keli would have such deep affection for him. But now he understood that if he could help Cui Keli to win the position of the Master of the Cui family, Cui Keli would lead the Cui family to support him to control Pinglu as long as there wouldn't be any big mistakes on this trip to Penglai.
In this case, at least one of the four major families of Pinglu would stand by him, which would be much more convenient for Li Ye to subdue the entire Pinglu. After all, the first step was the hardest. Rooting in Qing Prefecture, the Cui family was very familiar with Pinglu and was the absolute local boss. They could help Li Ye a lot in all aspects.
With this in mind, Li Ye was more determined to help Cui Keli.
When Li Ye and Cui Keli were talking, Su Emei had made the meal ready with the help of Wei Xiaozhuang. The two of them put the dishes on the table and greeted Li Ye and Cui Keli to eat.
Su Emei was born beau
After grabbing Li Ye's arm for quite a while, Su Emei was suddenly aware of her impoliteness, so she flushed with embarrassment and retracted her hands immediately. But she was a little slow on the reaction. Li Ye looked at her amusingly and thought that she was sensitive but a little bit inarticulate. She grabbed his arm for quite a while but said nothing. However, it was fine because he didn't like the eloquent women. When she noticed that Li Ye had been staring at her, Su Emei ducked her head much lower and wished to bury it in her breasts, which was really possible because her breasts were very plump. The atmosphere was very embarrassing. When Li Ye tried to break the ice, three people came over the bamboo bridge across the river. A childe in splendid clothes was holding a folding fan, his face full of arrogance and hostility. A servant was bending over. And the last person lifted his chin slightly with his sw
"Father, why have you come out?" After the salute, Cui Keli was worried. Cui Shulin was old. These years, he didn't go out and had been living in seclusion because he didn't want to waste his vitality. For him, every use of the cultivation power meant the consumption of vitality and the reduction of the already few lifetimes. If not, the family affairs wouldn't be handed over to Cui Hucheng to handle. Cui Shulin landed in front of the courtyard and took a glance at everyone. His gaze stopped at Li Ye for a second, and then he withdrew his eyes. This was a kindly old man of vicissitudes. He sighed and said, "I know the cause and effect of today's matter. That's it. Leave now." "Father!" Cui Hucheng's expression changed. "Well?" Cui Shulin looked at Cui Hucheng with majesty. "What else do you think?" "I dare not!" Making contact with Cui Shulin's eyes, Cui Hucheng trembled and immediately ducked his head. Although h
Cui Shulin frowned and stared at Li Ye without a word. His old turbid eyes were now shining scarily. His hands, which he usually placed across his belly, were now hanging down with his fingers slightly bent. Cui Hucheng's accomplishment was second only to that of Cui Shulin in the Cui family. He had come to Level 5 in Qi-refining. In the discipline of knife art, he had almost reached the level of master as well. If he did his best, even Cui Shulin who was at Level 6 in Qi-refining could not defeat him easily. It could even be said that the student has surpassed the master. When Li Ye got down to fight Cui Hucheng, Cui Shulin felt something was wrong, because Li Ye looked too young. If it were not for Cui Keli's confidence, Cui Shulin would've persuaded them. However, at Li Ye's age, how high could his cultivation be? After all, he was not from the Immortals' sect of Penglai, with their remarkable people like the Senior and Junior Secretaries.
Li Ye looked serious. Even though Cui Keli was not taking the place of patriarch of the Cui family, he could be of great help in ruling the states and counties of Pinglu as long as he remained the Confucious master in his realm. Let alone other matters, just enlightening the people of Pinglu would greatly contribute to the promotion of his cultivation. Cui Hucheng left in dejection. He could not defeat the rival either by force or by intelligence. There was no hope for him to contend anymore. The elders had left the room. Cui Shulin went in alone. After praising his article, Cui Shulin asked Cui Keli, "Where did you invite Mr. Li from?" Cui Keli answered, "Childe Li was not invited by me. He is the friend of Taoist man Su. I heard that they got to know each other on the way to Qingzhou." Cui Shulin thought for a moment before he looked at Cui Keli and said meaningfully, "Have you noticed something special about him?"
With the status of the Cui family, it was a big event in the whole Qing Prefecture that Cui Keli would succeed to the home lord, so a lot of people would be invited to the ceremony and it would take time to prepare. Considering that the Convention of Penglai Immortals and Taoism was approaching, the final decision was that the ceremony would be held after the Convention of Penglai Immortals and Taoism ended. Under the guard of some cultivators on horseback, a carriage drove out of the gate of Qing Prefecture along the official road to the east. The carriage was quite spacious, and Cui Keli was sitting in it. This Confucian scholar couldn't keep himself idle for a second. He read in the carriage on his way. Although the carriage swayed, Cui Keli wasn't affected because of his cultivation. When he was interested, he would also take some notes. Li Ye, Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang were riding horses in front of the carriage.
They went out of Qing Prefecture and entered the territory of Lai Prefecture. Cui Keli opened the curtain and poked his head out of the carriage. Pointing to a fork in the road not far ahead, he said to Li Ye and the others, "Along this branch road for about ten kilometers, we will arrive at the Jimo Villa. I will drop in on an old friend and take him to Penglai." Li Ye slowed down the speed of his horse, parallel with the carriage. He turned his head and said to Cui Keli, "Is your old friend also a Confucian scholar?" Cui Keli smiled. "My old friend is the owner of the Jimo Villa, and indeed, he is from the same sect of me. But he is much more powerful than me. He is a Confucian scholar and a good writer, but he succeeds in business and becomes very rich. Confucius has said we should provide education for all people without discrimination, while he learns everything without discrimination. He also learned carpentry in his early years."
It would take a lot of time to deal with the aftermath of the Jimo Villa, but Li Ye and the others couldn't stay here for long, so they could only gather up the corpses hastily, and Cui Keli wrote to Cui Shulin to let him arrange the people of the Cui family to come and take over the things in the Jimo Villa as soon as possible. When leaving the Jimo Villa, Cui Keli bowed three times on the ground towards the villa in front of the gate. When this Confucian scholar looked up, his expression had returned to normal, however, Li Ye and the others wouldn't know what he had sworn in his heart. ... In the carriages carrying goods, Yang Feng held a straw plucked from the roadside in his mouth and rested his hands on the piled goods of the carriage. A tiny smile appeared on his face as he saw his fellows follow the carriages with dusty faces. These fellows were armed with knives. Some of them were young, only in their teens and some wer
Yang Feng's limbs were stiff. Just now, he said to the black-robed childe that swordsmen always violated the law by violence and that there wouldn't be vicious murder incidents in broad daylight, expect the Penglai Taoist sect that was very powerful and that even the Pinglu government couldn't control. But now, in his sight, Skinny Monkey was falling down with his life uncertain and the Big Master of the carriage gang fell on the ground, his right arm flying away from his shoulder. "How could this happen?" "Who wanted to fight against the carriage gang?" "Are they the bandits coming for robbing the goods of the carriage gang?" When Yang Feng saw the childe with a gloomy look, he understood. He looked familiar. He was the incapable childe who was beaten by Yang Feng because he injured a fellow of the carriage gang at the courier station yesterday and who said to destroy the carriage gang
