The Otherworldly God

Chapter 114

Le Zhengying not only brought Le Zheng Yuhua with him, but also Le Zheng Hongjun, Le Zheng Ling, Le Zheng Feixu, Le Zheng Zhi, and of course the great contributor Le Zhengli.

This time the conversation took place only in the meeting room, which was less solemn and dignified than the one in the ancestral hall, but there were still many masters who came to talk.

Naturally, there was Le Zhengqin, the head of the family, Le Zhengfang, who assisted them, Le Zheng Sihui and Le Zheng Ningsi, who were their rivals, Le Zhengbo, who was interested in them, and a few masters who were watching the fun. Together with Le Zhengling, Le Zhengzhi, and Le Zheng Feixu, most of the masters were there.

Le Zhengli was the oldest in seniority, so as soon as he entered the room, everyone else had to stand up and salute. Le Zhengli was never polite to them and did not stop them from saluting him. He just found a seat and sat down.

Normally, he could sit in the left row closest to Le Zhengqin and Le Zhengfang, but he didn't care and sat directly next to Le Zhengbo, which was the seat below him.

They just looked at each other but didn't dare to say anything more.

Le Zheng Ling and Le Zheng Fei Xu naturally had to pay their respects to Le Zheng Qin and Le Zheng Fang, and gave a brief report on the affairs of Huacheng, and also handed over a list of gifts from various families.

Le Zhengqin signaled Le Zheng Hongjun to bring the list over, so he had to leave the team and go over to deliver the list.

After taking a look at it, he handed it to Le Zhengfang, who looked at it much more seriously than he did.

"So many families have sent gifts in advance, and there are many valuable items among them. This is unprecedented."

Le Zhengfang frowned, and his hands holding the list were shaking a little, as if the list was very heavy.

"There are quite a few people giving gifts, but not many people wanting to come. I wonder why?"

Le Zhengqin looked at Le Zhengli, who was smiling as always.

"We, Lezheng, never hold extravagant weddings or funerals, and it is even rarer to invite other families. Jimen Pass is different from Huacheng, where guests can stay for a rest. Moreover, there are curfew rules, and other families understand that, so..."

The reason here is definitely not just because of "understanding", everyone knows it very well, but Le Zhengli said something seemingly casually before she finished speaking.

"So Le Zheng is so different and unique?"

Le Zhengfang was stunned after hearing this and did not continue to explain.

Le Zhengli took advantage of his ignorance and always deliberately said things that others could understand but were difficult to refute.

He was obviously mocking Le Zheng's current situation. Le Zheng Qin just frowned slightly. Le Zheng Fang fell into deep thought. He couldn't help but think of Le Zheng He's aborted reform and felt sad.

"Uncle Li has been away from home for many years and doesn't know much about Le Zheng. Don't believe the words of the villain who slanders Le Zheng."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

Le Zhengli naturally understood the meaning of Le Zheng Sihui's words, which were obviously referring to Le Zheng Yuhua and the others. He did not refute them, but instead showed interest.

Le Zheng Sihui was naturally happy to tell him about the proud Le Zheng in her heart, but Le Zheng Qin stopped her because it was obviously off topic.

He first affirmed Le Zheng Yuhua's ability, and at the same time praised the performance of several people in the tower. After all, it was not easy for the three participants to reach the final step.

"Isn't it too easy for some people to win? I'm not denying his efforts, but I'm not very impressed with his abilities."

The smile on Le Zheng Ningsi's face made Le Zhengli serious. She was not even afraid of Le Zhengli's eyes. Instead, she winked at him. The seemingly long-distance salute made Le Zhengli shudder.

"You can only blame me for teaching... where did I teach?"

Le Zhengzhi looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, but unfortunately he was not Le Zheng Shuiling. He would not say those "treasonous" words to refute himself and push all the mistakes onto Le Zhengzhi. Instead, he took a step forward and admitted his mistakes.

"Yuhua is not talented. My magic training has been stagnant and I am still spinning in circles. I must practice hard in the future and live up to the cultivation of my master and Le Zheng."

Le Zhengqin glanced at Le Zhengzhi, who avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience. Le Zhengqin knew very well that Le Zhengzhi had not taught them any magic. Moreover, he always believed that as a Taoist, one must not only practice magic, but also have a strong physique. He was satisfied with Le Zhengyuhua's performance in the tower, but he could not express it in words.

"Junior Brother Zhi, I, Senior Brother He, and Junior Sister Fang all come from the same school. Among the four of us, I have the worst comprehension, while Junior Brother Zhi has the best comprehension and has his own unique insights into many spells. Over the years, Junior Brother Zhi has only accepted three disciples. Please don't let me down."

"Yuhua will definitely work hard and live up to his master, the master of the family, and Le Zheng."

"Very good." Le Zhengqin put the list in front of him and continued, "Now you are the future son-in-law of the Mu family. After you get married, you will start a career. Le Zheng can be your shield, but if you only rely on Le Zheng, you will only stagnate and go round in circles. If you have a family but cannot support it, wouldn't that be a shame to Miss Mu and the Mu family?"

He stood up and took two steps forward.

"Le Zheng has more than one residence in Jimenguan. According to the rules of Le Zheng, men who have married usually move out of the compound and establish their own small family. But I want you to understand that all of Le Zheng's assets belong to everyone in Le Zheng and not to any one person.

You have no parents, brothers, or sisters, and you have not made any contribution to Le Zheng. Now you want Le Zheng to help you get married, but there is no precedent, even if the other party is the Mu family. So I want to tell you that you will not move out of the compound for the time being, and you will still live in Sanyeju, and you brothers and sisters will also have someone to take care of you. Do you understand?"

"Yuhua understands."

"As for the rest, I'll leave it to you, Junior Sister."

"Yes."

Le Zhengli picked up the teacup and said before drinking: "Isn't there a gift?" When all the masters looked at him in surprise, he calmly took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Li really loves this great-nephew. If it weren't for Uncle Li, Yuhua would have to suffer so much. Why don't you thank Uncle Li?"

This is not about suffering, it is clearly telling himself that without Le Zhengli, he would not have won. Originally, Le Zheng Yuhua felt that he was just helping him fairly. After thinking for a few seconds, he did not object to thanking Le Zhengli, but just thanking his teammates for their win-win cooperation.

Le Zheng Yuhua did not bow, but simply clasped his fists to thank him, showing a bit of the boldness of a man of the world.

Le Zhengli immediately stood up and thanked the other party together with him.

"If it weren't for my great-nephew Yuhua, I would have lost face in Jiuli Tower. I have never seen a young man like Le Zheng who has such great adaptability. You are not by his side, so you can't see it clearly. It is truly an amazing competition."

"Heh, there are so many changes in the tower. It was only by coincidence that Master Li was able to join him on every level. He deserves to win the competition."

Facing Le Zheng Sihui's weird tone, Le Zhengli did not hide anything and replied directly: "It's not a coincidence, it's my choice to be with him."
