The Otherworldly God

Chapter 57 Le Zheng's Future

Le Zheng Sihui returned to her own courtyard and once again smashed the cup in anger. Her female apprentice kept kneeling on the ground, shaking constantly, while her three new apprentices stood obediently by her side.

"I didn't expect that the mission we assigned to them didn't insult them, but made them successful. I'm really angry."

Le Zheng Ningsi also sat down.

"Yes, not only did they get three points, but they also happened to meet the young lady of the Mu family. If this allows them to establish a relationship with the Mu family, they will probably become even more arrogant in the future."

"Even if you don't tell me, I know it. Especially Shui Ling. She used to be arrogant because she relied on the old man. It's not easy for her to be so arrogant now that the old man is gone. If she gets the support of the Mu family, she will definitely make a big fuss."

"Don't be angry, sister."

"How can I not be angry? It's as if I was the one who caused them to meet Miss Mu. Do you still remember what Shui Ling said, saying that Miss Mu was Qi Ming's daughter-in-law? How ridiculous."

"Didn't Le Zheng Qiming explain it? It was just a joke."

"Humph, just kidding. If he hadn't explained it that way at that time, he would have had a hard time in the future. He also explained how they met Miss Mu and how they were unaware of it. There is no reason to hold them accountable for not reporting it."

"I believe what he said. Sister, think about it, the rules of Lezheng Sect are so strict, how many times have Lezheng Qiming and Lezheng Shuiling been out of the city? There is also the natural barrier and this time's Sidao Office. It is impossible to meet Miss Mu in this natural barrier, and it can only be because of this mission. There are so many people in Sidao Office, if they really know it is Miss Mu, how can they hide it? As for his explanation that the so-called marriage is just a joke of Lezheng Shuiling, think about what kind of temper Lezheng Shuiling has, and why can't he say such a thing?"

"Sister, what you said is absolutely right. But I am worried that it is Le Zheng and Shui Ling's temperament that really brought them together."

"He's not going to say it anymore? Miss Mu is well-educated and well-mannered. Regardless of whether Le Zheng Shui Ling is joking or not, it's not good for her to get angry in front of everyone, right? It's better to treat it as a joke."

"Then why did she invite them?"

"Sister, isn't it obvious that these words are just polite? Le Zheng Shui Ling wanted to go to Huacheng so much, and when we heard that she was coming from Huacheng, how could we not say a few words? Miss Mu would definitely say a few polite words. But politeness is politeness, and trust is trust. Who knows if Miss Mu wants to break up with us?"

"You mean we won't have any more contact after this banquet?"

"That's exactly what I mean."

"I hope this is just as my sister said, but I think it's better to be on the safe side."

"You can't do that, sister. You are one of the people who openly oppose them. If anything happens to them, you and I will be the objects of suspicion. In addition to our previous relationship with them, won't we be the first to be investigated?"

"You mean to do nothing?"

"It must be done, but it cannot be done by us, nor by our people."

"What do you mean, sister?"

"Sister, you should keep yourself busy these days and visit Sister Fang more often. If something happens, don't you have the best witness?"

Le Zheng Sihui understood what she meant instantly. Indeed, isn't Le Zhengfang the best witness in Le Zheng at the moment? Although she didn't know what Le Zheng Ningsi was thinking, seeing her determined expression, Le Zheng Sihui chose to believe her.

At night, Le Zheng Qiming was sleeping soundly and found it difficult to turn over. He touched himself and found two people lying beside him.

Le Zheng Qiming woke up from his dream, stared upwards, and quickly calmed himself down.

"this is my room."

"I know."

Le Zheng Shuiling answered him first, and he waited for Le Zhengzhi's answer.

"That I wasn't drunk."

Le Zheng Qiming didn't smell any alcohol on him, which was enough to tell that he hadn't drunk a single glass of wine tonight. However, he still couldn't understand this situation, so he sat up.

"Then what are you doing sleeping here?"

Le Zheng Shuiling sat up and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make up for the mistakes I made during the day."

"As your master, I will definitely protect you."

Before Le Zheng Qiming had time to express his opinion, the two of them lay down again.

"You guys go to sleep."

Originally, Le Zheng Qiming was planning to get up and leave, but when he saw Le Zheng Yuhua sitting on a chair, leaning on the Heavenly Sword, he didn't look at him and didn't say a word.

Le Zheng Qiming knew that they were worried about his relationship with Qin Chu, and that it would bring danger, even if the matter with Qin Chu was a misunderstanding. So he lay down obediently, because the bed was not big, and there were three people lying at the same time, Le Zheng Qiming could only curl up.

With his nerves tense, Le Zheng Qiming couldn't fall asleep. Instead, the two of them slept very soundly. Le Zheng Shuiling talked in his sleep and Le Zheng Zhi snored, which made Le Zheng Qiming feel a headache.

With three people squeezed together and himself in the middle, he was sweating all over. Especially when the two of them were fighting for the quilt, they kept squeezing against him. Le Zheng Qiming finally couldn't stand it anymore and slipped away from the other end like a loach.

As soon as he slipped away, Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Zhi directly occupied his original seat, and stood by the bed watching him sigh helplessly.

"Can't sleep?"

Le Zheng Qiming then realized that it was Le Zheng Yuhua, so he came over and sat down next to him and poured himself a glass of water.

"It's strange that I can sleep like this." He was afraid that Le Zheng Yuhua would misunderstand his meaning, so he hurriedly explained: "I know they have good intentions and are worried about me and want to protect me, but look at this, it's also a bit ridiculous."

"What about Qi Ming? Do you really think that there is someone in Le Zheng who would harm you because of Shui Ling's words?"

"Senior Brother has been in Lezheng for so many years. In short, Lezheng is now like a pile of loose sand, and everyone has their own plans. In the final analysis, for them, the glory of Lezheng is just a by-product, a useful chess piece for them to seek greater benefits. When necessary, the title of Lezheng is a pass, and when necessary, the title of Lezheng is a life-saving straw. Why not use such a useful chess piece? To be honest, if something happens to Lezheng now, I estimate that nine out of ten people will abandon Lezheng and run away."

"Even so, you and Shui Ling will still protect Le Zheng."

"Maybe it's fate. My father is a loyal hero who sacrificed his life for the Dao League, so our family was commended by the Dao League. Otherwise, Le Zheng probably wouldn't have kept my mother and me, who are so mediocre.

Even though my mother was looked down upon and bullied in Lezheng, she still taught me to stay at Lezheng and sometimes even said nonsense about staying at Lezheng and waiting for my father to come back. She would stop talking every time. Sometimes, even I doubted whether my father was still alive.

As for Shui Ling, she is better than me. You don't know yet, right? Shui Ling's great-grandfather is a centenarian. Not to mention in Lezheng, there are almost no such old people in Daomeng. In addition, he has been the head of many families for generations, and his status is higher than many of the heads of families here, so he is called the old man of longevity. No one in Lezheng dares not respect him.

Shui Ling has been following the old man since she was a child. In some aspects, her personality is similar to that of the old man. When she gets into trouble, she is no worse than the old man when he was a child. However, even though she gets into trouble, the old man has a very positive view of Le Zheng. He thinks that if Le Zheng is like this now, one day someone will appear to bring benefits and eliminate disadvantages, change Le Zheng and then change the world.

The old man always taught us to have faith in Le Zheng and to be full of hope for Le Zheng. If we don't even protect Le Zheng, how can Le Zheng survive in the world? Even so, Shui Ling and I were inevitably heartbroken by what happened time and time again, especially the fire in the Repentance Hall. If you died, I think Shui Ling would definitely pull me away from Le Zheng without hesitation. "

"I have become a burden to you."

"It's still unclear who will be a burden to whom."

Le Zheng Qiming put his fist against his chest, but Le Zheng Yuhua frowned and pushed him away. Le Zheng Qiming lost his balance and fell to the ground.
