Chapter 1391 Convincing

On Lingyun Peak, outside Zhou Yiqiao's cave, a burly man stood under a vigorous ancient tree. His face flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

This person was Luo Fengmo, who came to visit Luo Lishang after leaving Jianxin Pavilion.

"Uncle Fourteen."

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant female voice was heard. Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang arrived at the front of the valley together and bowed to the person under the tree.

Seeing this, Luo Fengmo slowly turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Li Shang, no matter how willful you were in the past, your Fourteenth Uncle would always take care of you, but this time, you were too willful."

Luo Fengmo didn't have any famous sayings, but everyone could understand that he was referring to Luo Lishang's choice to become a Taoist couple with Zhou Yiqiao.

Luo Lishang wanted to speak out in rebuttal, but Zhou Yiqiao, who was holding his wrist, suddenly pulled him forward and stood face to face with Luo Fengmo, looking at this elder of Luo Lishang with a firm gaze.

"Senior, you have come from afar. It would be impolite to talk here. Why don't you return to the cave with us and then talk in detail."

Luo Fengmo remained silent. After a moment, he finally let out a long sigh and nodded slightly.

......

Inside the cave, Zhou Yiqiao personally brewed tea to entertain Luo Fengmo, while Luo Lishang followed him obediently, occasionally adding tea to Luo Fengmo's cup. Although the atmosphere was a little solemn, it also revealed a bit of warmth and peace.

"Senior, Li Shang and I are in love, and I hope you can help us."

Zhou Yiqiao was the first to break the silence, his words filled with unquestionable sincerity.

Long before Luo Lishang asked him to help her conceal the lie again, he had already imagined in his mind any possible situation and the corresponding solutions.

Seeing that Luo Fengmo had not spoken for a long time after entering the cave, Zhou Yiqiao gritted his teeth and said these words, while focusing his attention on Luo Fengmo's expression.

"Ugh......"

After listening to what Zhou Yiqiao said, Luo Fengmo sighed softly, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

"If Li Shang was my daughter, I would naturally not hinder her choice. But she is, after all, the daughter of the Immortal Emperor who rules the entire Great Xuantian. Even if the government and the public will not say much about her choice of a Taoist partner for the sake of the Immortal Emperor, there will be rumors in private."

"If you become a Taoist couple, the secret plots of the major forces in the future will not be something you can easily bear."

There was a hint of deep worry in Luo Fengmo's words, and his eyes moved back and forth between Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang, obviously weighing something.

Zhou Yiqiao's expression did not change when he heard this, but became even more determined.

"I understand the concerns of my seniors."

"But since I have chosen to spend my life with Li Shang, I have already prepared myself to face all difficulties."

"No matter how rough the road ahead is, I will stand by Li Shang and face it with her."

Zhou Yiqiao said "it's sincere and heartfelt", but Luo Fengmo waved his hand to reject him.

"The current Immortal Emperor has an iron fist. What I am worried about is not Li Shang, but you, a young boy with no background at all!"

There was an unquestionable severity in Luo Fengmo's words. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the cave entrance.

"Do you know that in the Great Xuantian, there are many strong people and geniuses. How many talented people with higher qualifications than you love Li Shang, but they all failed to get what they wanted for various reasons?"

"You have neither a distinguished family background nor amazing cultivation. You are just a mortal. You may not even be able to survive the hands of those chosen ones. How can you expect to gain the approval of the Immortal Emperor and make this relationship a reality?"

Luo Fengmo asked two questions in a row, leaving Zhou Yiqiao speechless.

During this period of time, he had imagined thousands of situations from now on, but he had never thought that pretending to be Luo Lishang's Taoist partner would be so dangerous.

Luo Lishang, who was standing by, saw Zhou Yiqiao being frightened by his fourteenth uncle and immediately offered to help.

"Uncle Fourteen, don't you know? Yu Poyun of the Yuzhu Kingdom couldn't even survive ten moves under Yiqiao's hands, not to mention the other so-called geniuses who can only rely on the protection of the elders in the clan."

It was the first time that Luo Fengmo saw Luo Lishang, who had been aloof since childhood, show such an expression. After being stunned for a while, he burst into laughter.

"Oh? Is this happening?"

There was a hint of surprise and relief in Luo Fengmo's laughter. He sat back in his original seat, his eyes flashing with a scrutinizing gleam.

"If you really have this kind of strength, then you are indeed qualified to stand beside Li Shang."

Zhou Yiqiao recovered from his defenseless state when Luo Lishang explained to him and Luo Fengmo.

He quickly sorted out his words, echoed Luo Lishang's words, and continued.

"Although Li Shang's words were exaggerated, Zhou Yiqiao did defeat Daoist Fellow Yu Poyun head-on."

"Please believe that I have the ability and determination to deal with any difficulties I may encounter in the future!"

When Luo Fengmo heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, showing both scrutiny and consideration.

He nodded slowly, as if his evaluation of Zhou Yiqiao had subtly changed in his heart.

"Whether Li Shang knows your strength or not, or whether I believe in your strength or not, is not the most important thing. If you want to stay with this girl forever, the most important thing is to prove to more people that you have this strength."

"Regarding the matter of the Long Snake Realm, didn't His Majesty grant you and Li Jianzi from the Sword Clan a chance to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm once?"

"In my opinion, you should temporarily bid farewell to Senior Wang and return to Daxuantian with me to comprehend the fate of the immortals."

"If you can personally solve all the difficulties you encounter in the Great Mysterious Heaven during this period of time when you comprehend the Immortal Fate, then by then, not to mention getting the approval of the Immortal Emperor, even the government and the people will have to accept your union."

Luo Fengmo paused for a moment, raised his eyes, and stared at Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang seriously, hoping that the two would seriously consider his suggestions.

"Uncle Fourteen, you are pushing me into the fire pit..."

Luo Lishang was about to refute Luo Fengmo's proposal but was interrupted by Zhou Yiqiao.

"If this is the case, it will prove my strength and stop all gossip in the Great Xuantian. I am willing to give it a try."

When Luo Lishang heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He tugged at Zhou Yiqiao's sleeve, but Zhou Yiqiao patted the back of his hand with his warm palm, and calmed him down.

"Okay, be brave!"

Luo Fengmo nodded appreciatively, and the last trace of scrutiny in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by infinite recognition of Zhou Yiqiao.

He drank the spiritual tea at hand, stood up with a swish, and his burly figure blocked the light above Zhou Yiqiao and the other man.

"Since you are willing to do this for Li Shang, as Li Shang's elder, I will naturally help you."

"How about this, the Immortal Emperor will give me a full three months to go out this time. During these three months, I will live in the Hidden Immortal Market outside the Tijian Sect with my subordinates. When you two are ready, you can come to the Hidden Immortal Market to find me."

After saying that, Luo Fengmo left after saying "Don't see me off" and quickly left Lingyun Peak.

After confirming that his Fourteenth Uncle had left, Luo Lishang quickly distanced himself from Zhou Yiqiao and said with a reproachful look on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, you are too impulsive!"

"Outside of Daxuantian, as long as you are strong enough, those people can't do anything to you, Mr. Zhou. But once you go to Daxuantian, you will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. You will be unable to defend yourself against all kinds of open and covert attacks!"

Luo Lishang frowned, his tone full of worry.

"If you regret it now, I will immediately chase after Uncle Fourteen and ask him to take back his decision. We will then think of another way."

Unlike Luo Lishang's anxious look, Zhou Yiqiao had a calm smile on his face at this moment.

He shook his head and refused out loud.

"Don't worry, Princess. Zhou has always been a coward. Since he dared to agree to return to Daxuantian together with you, he must have his own ways to deal with it."

When Luo Lishang heard this, suspicion appeared on her pretty face.

"What methods do you have? Do you really think that you can really fight against all the forces in the entire Great Xuantian with your own strength?"

Hearing Luo Lishang's question, Zhou Yiqiao nodded pretentiously, then smiled and shook his head.

"Your Highness, there is no need to ask about the specific method. I know how to handle it."

After saying that, he also stood up and walked out of the cave.

"There are still three months left. Zhou needs to sort out things here. Then he will be busy outside for a while."

"If Your Highness Princess has any other needs during this period, just ask Fu Xueran. If he can't handle it, I will naturally help."

Luo Lishang looked at Zhou Yiqiao's confident and determined back. Although the worries in his heart had not completely dissipated, he was inexplicably infected by his aura and felt a little relieved.

She bit her lower lip lightly, slowly lay down on the fox fur, and finally decided to trust him once.

......

As for the other side, Zhou Yiqiao, who walked out of the cave, did not feel as relaxed as he had said to Luo Lishang.

He flashed in front of Xue Ran's cave, awakened the latter from his practice state, and gave him a large bag of spirit stones in a very serious manner.

"I don't care what method you use. In the next period of time, find a way to help me collect three phonograph stones that can record messages for a long time. They will be of great use to me."

"Remember, don't let too many people discover your whereabouts. If necessary, you can take action to eliminate all potential risks that may be following you."

Xue Ran was carrying a heavy bag of spirit stones, his heart trembled, and he agreed with a serious expression. Then his appearance and aura changed, and he disappeared in front of Zhou Yiqiao.

After sending Bloodbeard away, Zhou Yiqiao directly occupied the other party's cave. After raising his hand and casting several prohibitions, he took out paper and pen and began to flip through a stack of yellowed rice paper.

On these rice papers were clearly recorded the entries he had selected from the Xuantian Treasure Records, which contained the secrets of many officials in the Great Xuantian!
