1485 Coming Out of Seclusion, Beast Tide (2)
“Fellow Daoists, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but I’m helpless.” Just like the previous few times, Liang Zongxing rejected the three of them with a conflicted expression.
“Fellow Taoist Liang, we’re not making things difficult for you. It’s really because the beast tide came fiercely this time. In just a month, we suffered heavy losses, so we took the liberty to disturb you many times.” The valiant Vice President of the Imperial City’s Mercenary Association, Dong Yihong, cupped his hands and said to Liang Zongxing apologetically.
“That’s right. If I’m presumptuous, please forgive me, Fellow Taoist Liang.” Lu Yi, the vice president of the Imperial City’s Weapon Refinement Guild, also stood up and cupped his hands at Liang Zongxing generously.
Even though the Minister of War, Li Niansheng, who was also from the Imperial City, didn’t say anything, he also cupped his hands at Liang Zongxing to express his apology.
Liang Zongxing had a good impression of the three of them and he spoke more sincerely. “Fellow Taoists, you’re too kind. If I can help, I definitely won’t delay it. However, I’m really helpless about Fellow Taoist Lu. Please forgive me.”
Liang Zongxing refused again. Even though Dong Yihong and the others had expected this, they still couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, a guard rushed in and whispered something in Liang Zongxing’s ear.
Dong Yihong and the others were acting gentlemanly, and didn’t release their deity-sense to eavesdrop, so they didn’t know why Liang Zongxing was suddenly so excited.
“If the three of you aren’t in a hurry, you can wait a moment.” Liang Zongxing stood up and cupped his hands at the three of them, then left the hall in a hurry with the guards.
Dong Yihong and the others looked at Liang Zongxing’s figure as he left anxiously and couldn’t help having a vague guess.
In the intermediate pavilion in the front yard of the Liang family.
“Fellow Taoist Lu, Fellow Taoist Mu, congratulations on coming out of seclusion.” Liang Zongxing rushed to the pavilion as quickly as possible. Before he arrived, Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan heard him first.
“Fellow Taoist Liang, how have you been?” Lu Zijia stopped feeding the fish in the pool, turned around and said with a smile.
“It seems that the two of you have gained a lot from your seclusion this time. You’re indeed talented.”
Liang Zongxing walked into the pavilion and sensed the thick spiritual power fluctuation on the couple. He was first shocked, then sighed sincerely.
Lu Zijia couldn’t help touching her ears guiltily at Liang Zongxing’s praise.
With all kinds of useless spirit roots, she really couldn’t be compared to being extremely talented.
Of course, she wasn’t stupid enough to correct it.
Sensing that his wife was guilty, a smile quickly flashed across Mu Tianyan’s eyes.
“I believe the two of you already know about the beast tide. What are your plans for the future?” After both parties sat down, Liang Zongxing asked directly.
Lu Zijia played with the teacup in her hand and seemed to be thinking for a while before she replied, “The beast tide is a good training ground, so Ah Yan and I won’t leave Zhuang Prefectural City for the time being.”
Liang Zongxing frowned slightly when he heard that. “To be honest, the beast tide this time is even more ferocious than the beast tide a thousand years ago. My suggestion is that the two of you try your best to protect yourselves. After all, with your aptitudes, it’s definitely possible for you to dominate an entire region in the future.”
Both Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan were the benefactors of the Liang family. He didn’t want the two of them to fall into a desperate situation, or even die.
Lu Zijia smiled and didn’t object or agree. She only asked, “What about you?”
“The roots of the Liang family are in Zhuang Prefectural City. Of course we have to stay.” Liang Zongxing sighed and said.
However, if Zhuang Prefectural City really couldn’t be defended in the end, he would send his son and daughter away.
