Chapter 184 Confused

After Lei Xiaohuan and the other four arrived at Jinling Prefecture by flying boat, they were personally greeted by the head of Jiangnan Daofu. Then Lei Xiaohuan, Lu Yushu, Li Mingzhi, and Li Mingcheng went to Zhenwu Temple, where they met Zhang Yuelu, Bai Yingqiong, and Pei Xiaolou who had been waiting there for a long time, and officially began to investigate the case.

These days, the case of Yanqing Chamber of Commerce has been progressing smoothly. Although the Yuan family was destroyed and a large number of account books were destroyed, the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce has been in business for many years and is involved in a wide range of matters. If you really want to investigate, you will not be unable to start.

This is the first time Lei Xiaohuan has worked with Zhang Yuelu. He had only heard of her name before. After a few days of contact, Lei Xiaohuan had to admit that it was not unreasonable for Zhang Yuelu to hold a high position at such a young age.

In terms of attitude alone, the six old men are not as good as the newcomer Zhang Yuelu. After reaching the heavenly man, they usually replace sleep with qigong, meditation, and concentration, but they still habitually call it falling asleep. Usually when they were about to go to sleep, the light was still on in Zhang Yuelu's room. When they got up early in the morning, Zhang Yuelu had not rested yet. She had been up all night for several days in a row. Even if she had the realm of cultivation to support her, it would not be good to work so hard.

If you don't know, you would think that she had a deep hatred with Yanqing Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, Zhang Yuelu herself knew that she didn't have any deep hatred with Yanqing Chamber of Commerce. Although Qi Xuansu said that her heart was bright, there was a little bit of the meaning of "beauty in the eyes of a lover". She was not a saint, she had selfish thoughts and private thoughts, and she was a young person, far from being as determined as iron.

Qi Xuansu's death was a big blow to Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu also understood that she couldn't be sad and crying all day like a delicate lady. She had to cheer up and couldn't show any weakness.

In a sense, this was also a test. Why can you be in a high position?

To put it simply, Tiangang Hall is the sharp sword of Taoism. There will always be casualties in a war. As the deputy head of Tiangang Hall, he has a huge responsibility on his shoulders. If he cries and shouts for revenge when someone dies, the war will be unbearable.

To put it more highly, the Grand Master of Taoism shoulders the fate of the entire Taoism. If Taoism and the Holy Court go to war, and the Holy Court captures the Grand Master's lover, the Grand Master will be angry for his beloved and drag the entire Taoism to fight. This is dereliction of duty and irresponsible to Taoism, which is undoubtedly unacceptable.

The Grand Master is the Grand Master of Taoism, and Taoism is not the Grand Master's Taoism.

For people in Taoism, emotionality is an immature expression and a huge demerit.

Now Qingwei Zhenren, Cihang Zhenren, and Donghua Zhenren are competing for the position of Grand Master. If any of them makes a scene of being angry for his beloved, it is equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the competition for the Grand Master.

Taoists can accept an emperor-style grandmaster who is arbitrary, a saint-style grandmaster who is forgetful, or a grandmaster who is inaction, but they cannot accept this kind of emotional and weak grandmaster.

Zhang Yuelu is too dazzling, and countless eyes are staring at her. If she still wants to carry out her ideals, she has to hide her weakness and sadness.

So Zhang Yuelu came up with a way, which is to divert her attention through various things. Put all her energy into various affairs and forget her sadness temporarily.

But every time when it was late at night, she couldn't help but think of Qi Xuansu when she was alone.

In fact, she couldn't figure it out. How did the two of them become a couple in a muddle?

Didn't the peerless hero step on the colorful clouds and descend from the sky?

Didn't he take shelter from the rain and send an umbrella to the same boat?

None of these.

Thinking back carefully, the first time they met was in a weapons shop, and the real intersection was that they were mistaken for a Taoist couple, and were dragged to a wedding and drank together.

Not romantic, not freehand, but interesting.

Then because of the archives, the two of them intersected again. It can be seen that he didn't have any ideas at that time, and was more defensive. She did have some interest, but it was just interest.

Then they worked together, went to the Western Regions, and killed Diswen.

After these things, she had a good impression of him, but it was hard to say how much she liked him.

But it was precisely because of this good impression that she had a very bold idea, which was to take him home and shut her mother's mouth.

Now it seems that this is a bad idea, but it is difficult for her to explain clearly what kind of mentality she had when she made such a decision.

Just to shut her mother's mouth? In fact, she can also ask her master Cihang Zhenren. In her marriage, the master also has the right to speak, and because of the special status of Cihang Zhenren, the weight is not light. As long as the master comes forward, the mother will definitely compromise and give in.

So, how much of a proportion does this good impression occupy in it?

She herself can't explain it clearly.

They set out on the journey home together. Various sudden changes seem to indicate that this journey is doomed to have a bad result, but neither of them believes this. They have experienced life and death several times along the way.

But it is precisely these life and death that have quickly brought the relationship between the two closer.

She thinks that she actually likes him very much.

Why not?

Does it have to be born in a noble family and have a high realm to be worthy of love?

So she wanted to regret it, she wanted to apologize to him and stop this ridiculous plan, and didn't want him to go to her house at this time, but he refused.

Of course, she could feel that he had also changed. He was no longer defensive and became eager and somewhat proactive in catering to her. At first, she mistakenly thought that this kind of catering was because the two of them had similar interests. Later, she gradually figured out that this kind of catering was probably just because of liking.

If he didn't like it, he wouldn't provoke the Lingshan Witch Cult, wouldn't take risks in Yishan City, and wouldn't have his arm broken in Baidi City.

An old Jianghu must be well versed in the way of protecting oneself wisely. It is only the impulse between men and women that makes people blindly impulsive.

It's just that he is very restrained and is unwilling to lose himself by catering without limit.

Finally, the two arrived at Shangqing Mansion and returned to their home in Yunjin Mountain.

The attitudes of cousin Zhang Yuyue and mother Tantai Qiong are expected and reasonable. But before that, she had always been somewhat lucky. The two completely shattered her luck and made her very angry.

On the contrary, he was very calm, seemed to have expected it, and even laughed.

Because of this, Zhang Yuelu did not want to stay at home and would return to Yujing as soon as the New Year was over.

This became her biggest regret and regret.

This trip still had the worst outcome.

At the last moment, Qi Xuansu jumped hard and gave her the last chance of life.

When things come to an end, you have to let go, but it’s not that easy to do.

Although she didn't like regrets, she thought more than once, what would it be like if she didn't take him home for the New Year?

Probably everything is still fine, she will promote him to be the boss, and he must be very happy, because the boss will get additional subsidies, and he is always sensitive and fussy about Taiping money.

She will not take the initiative to ask to leave Yujing to suppress the secret society, so the two of them will have more time to get along. In their free time, they can visit Taiqing City, watch new plays, or play Xuan Sheng cards.

Or maybe she won't be alone in this investigation, and naturally she won't be so desperate. They can take a walk around to appreciate the scenery of Jinling during their free time, such as the Sage Temple, Dabaoen Temple, Yanziji, and Yuhuatai.

It would not be like today. She rarely left Zhenwu Temple and lived in seclusion. When she went out occasionally, she would catch people.

She also believes in his ability and will be able to wear the sword of wisdom one day. If they go home together at that time, maybe it will be a different situation. Maybe his mother is willing to put on a kind face and be a little more polite. Maybe he and his father can become a lifelong friend. Maybe the two of them can walk into the Dazhen Mansion together to see the Heavenly Master instead of her going to see the Heavenly Master alone. Teacher, he can only wait outside.

It was late at night, the lights were turned off, and the mercury-like moonlight shone in through the window.

Zhang Yuelu pushed aside the various files on the table, leaving a small space, and then lay on the table, burying his mouth in his arms, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Because his mouth was covered, he made some loud noises: "I have a bad temper, and I am not gentle or considerate. I know that many people are saying behind my back that I am domineering and pretentious. If you leave it alone How many people are willing to deal with me in various capacities? "

She blinked: "What about you, why do you like me?"

She was the only one here, so naturally no one answered.

She asked herself and answered: "You can't tell, right? Actually, I can't tell either. You can't explain clearly, it's confusing, right?"

"If I had a choice, I would rather not have met you, then you would not accompany me to Yunjin Mountain. I am still me, and you are still you."

"You are the most stupid person in the world. Why would you risk your life for an unpleasant woman? Isn't it better to be alive?"
