People in Aurora are determined to fight chaos

Chapter 139 Zu Zhiyuan

The beginning of the year 2509 of the Imperial Calendar.

Fu Zhen and Xiao Lan were executed in Nongchang City, the former by Yuan Bo himself and the latter by Fan Bin to avenge.

In addition, there are a large number of Jade Blood people.

Thus, a terrifying Jingguan with its own anti-corrosion system appeared outside Nongchang City.

But not all Jadebloods participated in the rebellion.

Zhaoming's army captured Shangwu and retook the Disaster Hill, where they released dozens of Yuxue Taoist priests who had been tortured.

They were all conservatives and were imprisoned by Fuzhen before the war.

At this point, the Jade Blood Clan's rebellion came to an end.

"Good nephew! If you were not my sister's child, I would really like to become your sworn brother!"

Zhaoming pressed his upper body on Liu Li's shoulders and smiled with his gums exposed.

In the distance, there was Yuanbo with a gloomy expression, and Yinyin with an inexplicable smile.

Zu Ju sat with another masked alchemist, and asked in a somewhat doubtful tone, "Cousin... has Lord Binlong always been so enthusiastic?"

Zu Zhiyuan covered his mouth and smiled charmingly when he heard this, and said nonchalantly: "Binlong has always been so humorous, but people always think that the dragon son is high and mighty, so they dare not overstep their boundaries..."

"But..." Zu Zhiyuan changed the subject and looked at Liu Li, "I didn't expect that you, my cousin, would resolutely leave the Tantric sect and eventually choose such a destination..."

"Cousin, what do you mean?" Zu Ju looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Liu Li again.

Zu Zhiyuan covered her mouth and laughed again after seeing this: "What do you mean? Of course it means literally! Cousin, I thought about it, but I didn't expect that you actually like those younger than you."

"Cousin! How can you talk nonsense like that?!" Zu Ju's tone suddenly became childish and hurried, "The young master and I are innocent. Even if we are in the same room, we are still master and servant. There is absolutely no transgression..."

"Besides, the young master has great ambitions and is focused on strengthening himself. How could he have such dirty thoughts?!"

"In terms of status, the young master is the son of Biaolong and the young commander of Nangao. He cares about the people of Zhendan and performs his duties conscientiously. He has also been on the verge of life and death for this many times. How can it be evaluated in just a few words..."

"Besides..."

“Puchi…hahahahahaha.”

Before Zu Ju could continue to explain, Zu Zhiyuan burst into laughter and held Zu Ju's hand tightly while laughing.

"Cousin! You you you..."

Zu Ju looked embarrassed, but she could tell that Zu Zhiyuan had no intention of laughing at her.

The branches trembled for a long while before Zu Zhiyuan wiped his mouth and exclaimed: "I see this young commander standing like a pine tree, sitting like a bell, walking like a dragon and a tiger. His face has the appearance of a soaring dragon, his shoulders are straight and his back is broad. He is truly an astonishing figure... and this is only his aura at the age of fifteen... If he waits until he is fully grown, I'm afraid he will be the number one person under the Dragon Son..."

"Young Master works hard every day and never slacks off. It's not surprising that he has achieved such success."

Hearing Zu Zhiyuan praising Liu Li, Zu Ju felt sincerely happy.

It can be said that she has watched Liu Li grow up all the way, and she understands his growth almost better than Miaoying.

"So..." Zu Zhiyuan sighed, "What are you waiting for?"

Zu Ju pursed her lips and said nothing after hearing this. After a long while, she whispered softly, "But I am a Dan Ding Master..."

"Master Dan Ding was rejected by the Zhendan people, otherwise we would not have lived alone in the desert until the establishment of Tantric Buddhism, when we found a place to live..."

"When I went to Nangao, everyone was afraid of me and looked down on me..."

"Although I joined the army, I have never been taken seriously, let alone made a name for myself..."

"Cousin...are we alchemists really born unlucky?"

Zu Ju looked gloomy and fell into self-doubt.

Zu Zhiyuan was silent for a few breaths, then held Zu Ju's cheek and looked into her eyes.

"Zu Ju, these are actually not important. What's important is who you want to be recognized by the most..."

"Even if you are selfless to Yulong, you will still be criticized..."

"Even if Biaolong defended Changyuan countless times, he would still be accused of incompetence..."

"This world is just like this. Nothing is black or white..."

"Put aside all distractions in your mind and look at everything. Whoever is clearest in your eyes is the one you are obsessed with..."

"Besides this, everything else is just floating clouds."

Zu Zhiyuan guided Zu Ju's gaze towards the noisy crowd.

There, Liu Li and Zhao Ming were still laughing and playing.

Yulong had a sullen look on his face, but Minglong kept smiling.

Wei Junxiu was sipping tea carefully, while Lin Manyu looked at Liu Li with loving eyes.

Everything was reflected in Zuju's pupils, but there was one person who was particularly clear, causing Zuju's eyes to begin to tremble.

"Zhao Ming, what exactly do you mean by leaving Weixi Province without permission?"

Yuanbo finally couldn't bear it anymore and questioned Zhaoming in a cold voice.

"Haha, don't panic, brother. I'm just here to return Shang Wu to you." Zhaoming continued to smile and secretly exchanged glances with Yinyin, the latter's lips twitched and his eyebrows curved into a bright moon.

"You can just send a messenger to handle this matter. Why would I bother you, Master Binlong? Go back to your Shangyang, or I will come to inspect it myself."

Yuan Bo gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, feeling helpless towards Zhao Ming who had no regard for seniority.

"Brother, I obey your orders."

Zhao Ming pretended to bow deeply, then winked at Liu Li and said softly, "Come to my uncle's Shangyang when you have time. What's the point of staying in the academy all day? Don't you want to see those barbarians from the Western Regions? They are all blond and blue-eyed, with plump bodies..."

"Zhao Ming!"

Yuan Bo couldn't bear it any longer and growled again.

"Okay, no more jokes." Zhao Ming laughed, "See you later, my good nephew."

Seeing this, Liu Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and saluted, saying, "Goodbye, Uncle Zhaoming."

"Everyone should go about their business."

As soon as Zhaoming left, Yuanbo flicked his sleeves and walked out of the conference hall.

"Cough cough."

Everyone coughed a few times, exchanged helpless looks, and then slowly left the hall.

outside the hall.

"Aunt, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. This is my duty."

Liu Li walked in front of Zu Ju, and the two smiled at each other, appearing to be in perfect harmony.

Zu Zhiyuan had already reunited with Zhaoming. Seeing Liu Li slowly walking out, he nodded to Zu Ju calmly.

"Hello?"

Feeling Zu Zhiyuan's gaze, Liu Li blinked curiously.

"I have long heard of your great name, Junior Commander-in-Chief. My name is Zu Zhiyuan, and I am Zu Ju's cousin. I am also a military officer of Lord Zhao Ming."

Zu Zhiyuan introduced himself generously, and then continued with a smile, "Zu Ju is so lucky to meet the Junior Governor. It is difficult for Dan Ding Masters to make a living outside of the Weixi Province. There are only two people as kind-hearted as the Junior Governor in the whole of Zhendan."

"Aunt Yuan, you're too kind." Liu Li smiled calmly, "I just hope there are more people like you."
