One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 79 Transformation
At this time, Xu Lan finally understood why he had not received revenge from Gu Baiyi since he destroyed the Qian family.
In a sense, what he did was a favor to Gu Baiyi.

To take revenge?

Based on my current understanding of Gu Baiyi, he should be a real scholar.

The three words scholar,
Sometimes it has a derogatory meaning, sometimes it can also have a complimentary meaning, but when it comes to Gu Baiyi, it should be the latter.

If kindness is repaid with hatred,

Gu Baiyi would most likely pass the test in his own heart.

But if he does nothing,

So how do outsiders view him?

How does his married wife who is by his side view him?
that's it,
A man so conflicted chose to go to a neighboring country when he knew he was coming to Kyoto.

not see,

That's the best solution.

"Gu Qing will not return to Dachu in the short term."

Xiahou Yunxi smiled slightly and said: "Perhaps in his opinion, as time goes by, this conflict will naturally subside."

"I see."

Hearing this, Xu Lan didn't reveal too much about her inner thoughts.
No matter what Gu Baiyi's inner thoughts were, everyone was happy with the current situation.

It doesn't matter if the current situation is an illusion created by Gu Baiyi painstakingly. As long as he has enough strength, he doesn't need to be afraid of all the calculations.

He has been deeply touched by this recently.

"What are your plans after that?"

Xiahou Yunxi, who was reviewing the memorial, asked softly: "Based on what I know about you, Kyoto, which is a mere state of Chu, cannot tolerate you."

She didn't have a clear understanding of Xu Lan before.
Until yesterday when I got some information about Xu Lan from the Xuanjing Division,
She unexpectedly discovered that it was not unreasonable for him to gain Xiahou Changyuan's attention.

A scholar who has lived an average life for 18 years,
But he was able to leap from an ordinary person with no cultivation to a practitioner of the Three Realms in front of him in just over a month.

"I will probably stay in Kyoto for about half a year or a year."

Xu Lan pondered for a moment and then gave his answer.

"Oh?"

After hearing this answer, Xiahou Yunxi seemed very surprised.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, he slowly raised his head and stared at Xu Lan in front of him, his beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Are you surprised?"

Xu Lan laughed and said: "According to the original plan, I might leave Dachu after learning about this matter. It doesn't matter where I go."

"Well, quite a surprise."

Xiahou Yunxi said softly: "With your talent, it is only a piece of cake to become a practitioner of the Five Realms. Staying in Dachu will not do you any good."

There is a formation set up by Xiahou Changyuan in Dachu.

No one in the Great Chu Dynasty can gain power beyond the Seventh Realm. Even the practitioners of the Nineth Realm outside were forced to suppress their realm to the Seventh Realm after entering the Great Chu Dynasty.

of course,

Except for Lin Wanying's case.

So in this case, if Xu Lan wants to pursue a higher realm, he must leave Dachu.

"Before coming to Kyoto, do you know what I was thinking in my heart?"

Looking at Xiahou Yunxi, who was several years older than herself, Xu Lan did not hide her inner thoughts.

Unlike Sun Hongying, the Xiahou Yunxi in front of her might be a few years older than her, maybe because she held a high position.

Every time I am alone with her, my heart will be in a relatively calm state.

"I don't know."

Xiahou Yunxi shook his head,

Although she had a certain understanding of Xu Lan and even had a relationship with him, she still felt that she had not seen through Xu Lan.

"In the past, I didn't see the vastness of the world. I always felt that the world seemed to be just like that."

Xu Lan laughed at himself and said: "Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, I think this way, probably because my cultivation talent is amazing."

"Is not it?"

Xiahou Yunxi was slightly startled,
In just over a month, he went from an ordinary person with no foundation to a practitioner of the three realms. This kind of talent is unprecedented.

"Not really."

Xu Lan shook his head and said calmly: "In fact, if I am willing, I can cultivate beyond the three realms."

This is not an exaggeration by Xu Lan.

If he had devoted himself to cultivation from the beginning, he would not have only cultivated in the three realms.

Xiahou Yunxi:.
Although her cultivation in the Seventh Realm was not obtained by her own cultivation, and she has never experienced the hardships of cultivation,

But she also knows very well that ordinary practitioners who want to break through a realm often spend several years or even more than ten years without success.

But Xu Lan
It sounded a bit exaggerated, but for some reason she felt that Xu Lan could really do this.

"Then why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Xiahou Yunxi paused for a moment and then said: "Is it because of the ancestor?"

"Ah."

Xu Lan did not deny it, but said calmly: "At the beginning, I thought that being a sword immortal was nothing great. It was only a matter of time before I reached the so-called immortal realm with my talent."

"So from the beginning, I had no intention of practicing properly. Most of the time, it was because something was about to happen that I reluctantly allowed myself to practice and break through. All of this was so natural to me. .”

Thinking back on all the things that have happened to me in the past month or so,

Xu Lan feels that the phrase "the ignorant is fearless" is the most appropriate way to describe herself.

Because he has never looked at the world properly,

I always feel that I can easily resolve all conflicts with my own cleverness.

But in fact, if I hadn't been lucky, there would have been several crises that would have cost me my life.

These include many confrontations with the Demon Cult, and even plotting against Sun Hongying, etc.
I have to admit that luck plays a big part in my ability to survive until now.

If he hadn't met Xiahou Changyuan during his trip to Kyoto, he might not have changed his mind.

Xiahou Yunxi was silent,

For a moment, she didn't know how to evaluate it.

After all, she is not an ordinary practitioner. Although it is rare to have seven realms of cultivation, her cultivation does not belong to her.

"Probably because I saw how vast the world is, and at the same time realized how small I am."

Xu Lan said seriously: "At the same time, Lin Wanying also made me understand a truth."

"What's the point?"

Xiahou Yunxi asked with interest,

Lin Wanying's death still touched her somewhat, but as she held a high position, she was destined not to be able to stay with these emotions for too long.

"Mortal people's life-long calculations are ultimately no match for the immortals' thoughts."

Xu Lan said solemnly: "As a small individual, I can't change all of this for the time being, but all I can do is change myself first."

Immortals, Star Lords, Star Gods, Heavenly Dao managers, and even Heavenly Dao that has never shown its face but always exists.

Throughout human history,

No trace of them could be found, but they were everywhere.

"Maybe you are different."

Xiahou Yunxi was silent for a few seconds.

He remembered that his ancestor once said that he thought Xu Lan should be the reincarnation of a certain star king, but he could not find out.

But as a bloodline of the Dachu royal family, she knew very well that her supervisory country seemed to have unlimited glory.

But in the end, it was just the ancestor Xiahou Changyuan who recognized him.

As a high-ranking star king,
Xiahou Changyuan could give himself everything, but he could also deprive himself of everything with just a snap of his fingers.

"One day I will meet all of them."

Xu Lan raised her head slightly,
His gaze seemed to penetrate through the roof of Jinluan Palace to the deep starry sky.

After Xiahou Zhangyuan learned about the war of ten thousand years ago and the Great Qin Dynasty,

This strong premonition arose in my heart.

In a few years or even in the near future,
I will definitely meet other star kings and even star gods.

"maybe."

Xiahou Yunxi was slightly absent-minded, and after a long time he said with some loneliness in his tone: "Perhaps I will have turned into bones by then."

Although he has the cultivation level of the Seventh Realm, he is different from most Seventh Realm practitioners.
You cannot obtain the lifespan of practitioners at the same level, and you cannot increase your own lifespan by breaking through the level.

Five to sixty years is the lifespan limit of ordinary people, but it is also the lifespan limit of hers.

"Based on my understanding of Xiahou Zhangyuan, once the bloodline is born between us, it can solve the problem of the royal family being unable to practice."

Xu Lan smiled and said: "He will never let you die easily."

"That's impossible to say."

A blush flashed across Xiahou Yunxi's face, and then he said: "If my ancestor allows me to do this, naturally he can also allow other women to do this."

She still sees this very clearly,

Once Xu Lan can really solve the problem of the royal bloodline being unable to cultivate, it will be proven who is irreplaceable to the Da Chu royal family.

"I only agreed to have a bloodline with you, but I didn't agree to anyone else." Xu Lan smiled calmly and said, "I consider myself not a good person, but I'm not that ruthless."

Although he and Xiahou Yunxi do not have much affection at present, once there is blood between the two, the relationship between the two will evolve into a family relationship.

At that time, he would not be able to watch Xiahou Yunxi grow old or even die like an ordinary person.

"Is this true?"

Xiahou Yunxi's heart moved slightly,
No one is willing to watch himself age little by little until he dies, especially a practitioner.

"really."

"it is good."

Xiahou Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Lan in front of him and slowly stretched out his finger and said: "You, come forward."

"Now?"

Xu Lan was slightly stunned, this is the Jinluan Palace!

"Yes, now."

Xiahou Yunxi blinked and said with a smile: "You are not afraid, are you?"

Xu Lan:.
What a word, what a word!

Xu Lan then walked forward to the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, and took Xiahou Yunxi, who was wearing a phoenix robe, into his arms.

"If you don't approve the memorial, do you want to become a foolish king?"

Xu Lan glanced at the pile of memorials on the table and couldn't help but laugh.

"I haven't tried what it's like to be a faint king."

"Okay, then I'll satisfy you."

After a long time,

The memorials on the table had long been disrupted, and some even fell to the ground.

The disheveled Xiahou Yunxi curled up on the dragon chair and stretched lazily, showing off her graceful body curves.

"There are still so many memorials that have not been approved, what should I do?"

Xiahou Yunxi held Xu Lan's arm and said coquettishly, "You have to be responsible."

Maybe it's because of Xu Lan's promise, maybe it's because the relationship between the two has become much closer after a chat,

Xiahou Yunxi's attitude towards herself is also different.

Xu Lan:.
Looking like you're enjoying yourself and saying you're tired, isn't it a bit inconsistent with the setting of a practitioner of the Seventh Realm?
"This is bad, isn't it?"

Xu Lan pondered for a moment and said, "You and I have different handwriting. How should others view you if it is spread out?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

Xiahou Yunxi blinked,

Then he whispered a few words softly into Xu Lan's ear. After saying this, his whole face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

After listening, Xu Lan instantly changed his mind.

"It's not that I want to see what skills the old palace maid has taught you, but I think you shouldn't worry too much about other people's opinions."

Xu Lan said seriously: "It's just a memorial, nothing difficult."

"really?"

Xiahou Yunxi casually took a memorial on the ground and handed it to Xu Lan, saying: "Cangzhou, the great state of Chu, suffered a huge flood and countless people were displaced. What do you think the court should do?"

"Of course the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief."

"Of course the court will provide the money, but how can we make this money truly help the people?"

Xiahou Yunxi said lazily: "According to past practice, the imperial court allocated hundreds of thousands of taels for disaster relief, but in the end, it was not the people who suffered the disaster but the relief that was made to the local officials. How should we deal with this situation?"

"this one"

Xu Lan thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "First of all, you have to understand one thing, that is, no matter how much money the court allocates for disaster relief at any time, there will never be this amount that can be used on the people in the end."

"really."

Xiahou Yunxi nodded and said: "Sometimes I even wonder if one tenth of it can be used for the people, but you also know that in my position, there are some things that cannot be studied in depth."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are mentally prepared."

Xu Lan continued: "Since this disaster relief, the court has no longer allocated any funds, but has opened warehouses for disaster relief and set up porridge sheds to help the victims."

"Neither."

Hearing this, Xiahou Yunxi shook his head and said, "Some officials have darker hearts than imagined. Even rice cannot escape their greed."

"Don't worry, it's not over yet."

Xu Lan chuckled and said, "Just mix a certain proportion of sand, mud and gravel into the rice for disaster relief."

"Why?"

Xiahou Yunxi looked very puzzled when he heard this.

"Corrupt officials will look down on rice mixed with sand, but victims will not care about rice with sand in it."

Xu Lan said slowly: "This is human nature."

"It does work."

Xiahou Yunxi thought about it carefully and thought it was a good idea.

“In addition to that you can send an officer to go with the relief supplies.”

Xu Lan continued: "There is only one thing he needs to do, and that is to supervise whether the porridge cooked by local officials after receiving the relief materials and setting up porridge sheds will float when inserted into chopsticks."

"I see what you mean."

Xiahou Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly, this was a good idea.

"If it floats when you insert chopsticks, the head of a local official will fall to the ground."

Xu Lan smiled slightly and said: "Although it still cannot be perfect under this situation, it can at least make the people suffer as little as possible."

"Then take a look at this again"

Xiahou Yunxi suddenly became happy, and then picked up a memorial and handed it to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan:.
In order to explore the new posture Xiahou Yunxi learned, no, it was new knowledge, and he felt that it was not a big problem.

Two hours later,
Xu Lan breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that all the memorials were resolved in front of him.

"It's really amazing. In a short time, a day's memorial was solved."

Xiahou Yunxi blinked and said, "How about you become the emperor in the future?"

Xu Lan:.
one day?
So many memorials, just one day?

Forget it,
The emperor's position makes dogs shake their heads.

"The things are done, it's time to rest."

Xu Lan quietly looked at Xiahou Yunxi in front of him. As a person, you must do what you say.

"Okay, then you hold me."

Xiahou Yunxi slowly stretched out his hands, signaling for Xu Lan to carry him back to Tingchao Pavilion.

"I really can't help you."

Xu Lan smiled slightly, immediately picked her up and said, "If others see it, how can you still be a prisoner?"

"It's okay, who dares to say nonsense?"

However, when Xu Lan returned to Tingchao Pavilion with Xiahou Yunxi in her arms, she saw Sun Hongying alone in the courtyard looking up at the stars.

The appearance of the two people naturally attracted Sun Hongying's attention.

In an instant, the three pairs of eyes looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell silent.

"shameless."

Sun Hongying turned her head away slightly, pretending to be calm and calm.

Xu Lan:.
Isn't this talking about yourself?
It makes sense. Forget it, I can't make a point, after all, I do seem a bit shameless now.

As for Xiahou Yunxi in her arms, she snorted softly and hugged Xu Lan tighter.

"what"

Xu Lan was keenly aware that something was gradually going wrong between the two women.
As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.

Then he carried Xiahou Yunxi into her boudoir. Behind him, Sun Hongying gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

"Go ahead."

After entering the room, Xiahou Yunxi stroked Xu Lan's face and said with a smile, "Otherwise you won't be able to see her tomorrow."

"This"

Xu Lan was slightly startled,
Xiahou Yunxi's behavior made him a little uncomfortable, although he also believed that his relationship with Sun Hongying could not be hidden from others.

"I'm not that stupid. I think I can take everything of yours by myself."

Xiahou Yunxi shook his head and tried to look very calm.

As a woman, she naturally doesn't want to see that her man has other women in his heart, but she also knows that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

Don't talk about other things,

Which of the princes in the royal family she knew didn't have many wives and concubines?
Although she is the eldest princess of the Chu Dynasty, she also knows that this status does not seem to be that important in Xu Lan's eyes.

　Sanyang Kaitai

　　I'm just going home. As for Sanyang?
　　I just lay there for two days [I'm sorry, I don't even have the energy to pick up my phone and ask for leave]
