I Can't Be Sword God Chapter 275

275 I'll invite you back for tea

The snow continued to fall until noon, and the cold weather could not cover the city's lights. The Huadu conference was getting closer and closer. A warm atmosphere was brewing everywhere in shenluo city, waiting for a spark to light it up.

Wei Jiangli's farewell banquet had just ended, and everyone was sitting there leisurely and chatting. Only old du and the little fat Dragon went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Old du wanted to show off in front of Li Chu. There was not much work in the temple, so he was eager to do it.

As for the little fat Dragon, Pi Xiu,

The Fox girl loved it, so she had taught it these necessary skills early on.

Just as they were enjoying the snow and chatting, a few guests came in from the main entrance.

The one in the lead was actually Duan Geng.

In the past, Li Chu was the one who went to find him. He rarely came to the deyun sub-temple to find Li Chu. At this time, his generous square face looked a little serious.

Three old men followed behind him.

One of them had white hair and a ruddy complexion. He was wearing a simple brown robe. It was elderly man Wei, who had said “I can't open it” in the prison.

The other one had a big belly and a face full of oil. He was like a walking Maitreya Buddha with a smile.

The third person was wearing a red python robe and a black cloak. His beard was thick and his eyes were bright, revealing a strong and fierce aura.

Those who could obtain this Python robe were all Supreme figures of the Imperial court.

In the early years, the great Grandmaster of Heluo had given Chaotian que nine Python robes of the same rank. Later on, as the Imperial court gradually grew stronger, there were now more than ten people in the Python cloak.

These people might not represent the highest combat power of the Chaotian Palace. After all, there were still the hidden Immortals of the land. However, he was the highest-level person in charge of all decisions in heavenly imperial court, and the absolute ruler of a top immortal sect.

Li Chu stood in the front hall to welcome them. He could vaguely feel that the atmosphere was a little off.

“Duan baipao,” He first nodded.

“Little Daoist priest li, hehe.”

Duan Geng forced out a smile and beckoned the three of them to sit opposite Li Chu.

“Let me introduce you.” He stretched out his hand and said, ” this is elder Wei. This is elder Jin. Both of you are my seniors and superiors. You are also the commanders of the shenluo city garrison. You are both powerful figures who are in charge of a region.

Li Chu had long known that a place like shenluo city was guarded by a few powerful people in the decline stage, but he did not expect that they would actually come here together. After greeting them, he was also surprised.

The aura of these two old men was no different from that of mortals. If they were to walk on the street, no one would think that they had the great divine ability to overturn rivers and seas.

This is elder Duan from Zhaoge city. He then introduced the third person.

The old man frowned, ” “I'll say one sentence when it's my turn? Let Me Reintroduce Myself!”

good! Duan Geng shrunk his neck, as if to cooperate with the other party's words.

“This Lao Ai is Duan Lulong, the mountain river palm, and a first-grade cultivator of chaoge city wearing a Python robe. He is also one of the sword elders of the sect,” he said. After a long introduction, Duan Geng said softly, ” “He's also my father.”

Li Chu nodded again.

No wonder the Duan brothers were able to wear white robes. It turned out that Like Father, Like Son.

Even though elder Wei and elder Jin had extraordinary statuses among them, it was clear that Duan Lulong was their leader. After they sat down, they also seemed to regard him as the center.

Duan Geng glanced at him after the introduction.

The old man nodded.

“We would like to ask Daoist priest li a few questions, and we hope you can answer them truthfully,” Duan Geng said.

Li Chu did not understand what he meant, but out of the self-awareness of a good citizen of Heluo, he agreed. “Alright,” he said.

“Did you go to the residence of King of Donghai last night?” Duan Geng asked the first question.

“I've been there.” Li Chu answered honestly.

“What is it?” Duan Geng asked again.

King of Donghai and I have some misunderstandings. He sent the members of the Dongliu gang to attack my Taoist temple at night. I'm going to explain it to him. Li Chu said.

“Oh.” Duan Geng was not surprised. He seemed to have come prepared.”Then did you have any conflicts?”

“No, I didn't,” Li Chu shook his head. the atmosphere at the scene was very harmonious. King Dong Hai was convinced by me. He even admitted his mistake by turning himself in.

but Qianqian, ” Duan Geng stared at Li Chu and said slowly, ” do you know that not long after you left last night, King of Dong Hai was found dead in his study, which is also the place where you met? ”

“What?”

Li Chu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He paused for a moment before he said, ” “I don't know.”

but Qianqian, according to the servants in King of Dong Hai's mansion, you were the last one to see King of Dong Hai yesterday, and you had a conflict with him, ” Duan Lulong suddenly said, ” “And with your cultivation, killing him will be as easy as turning your hand.”

“Our conflict can't be fatal.” “This has nothing to do with me,” Li Chu said calmly.

“We'll also do an in-depth investigation.” Duan Geng rubbed his hands and smiled. “It's just that according to the rules, little Daoist priest Li, you're a very suspicious person. We're planning to invite you to come back with us, have some tea, chat, and stay for a while. Do you think it's convenient for you to be in a hurry?”

“So you're going to detain me?” Li Chu asked.

sigh … Duan Geng waved his hand. it'll hurt our feelings if you say that.

Duan Lulong glanced at him and frowned, thinking to himself that this son of a b * tch was getting more and more disappointing. It was clearly a reasonable form of detainment, but why did he make it sound so humble, as if he was begging the other party?

Li Chu frowned as well. I still have things to do, and I won't leave shenluo city. Can I not go? ”

“After all, it's written in the law. It's against the rules if we don't go,” Duan Geng said with a smile.

“How long will she be detained for?” Li Chu asked again.

if you're really innocent, ” Duan Geng said after some thought, ” then we'll find the real murderer or clear you of suspicion. We'll naturally let you leave Xuanji as soon as possible.

“Can you do it within ten days?” Li Chu asked.

Duan Geng was put in a difficult position and said, ” I can't guarantee the time. It'll take at least a month.

Li Chu pondered for a moment. why don't we do it in twenty days? ”

The Huadu conference would be held in twenty days. He always had a feeling that if something big were to happen, it would be at that time. In particular, Lord Cang hai and his gang might have a conspiracy to deal with.

Duan Geng was once again put in a difficult position.

Duan Lulong almost couldn't hold it in. Where are you going to buy vegetables in this market?

Bargaining?

And when he bargained with that guy, you son of a b * tch only told him the truth?

He knew that Li Chu's cultivation base was not low. He was a mid-tier heaven character in the Imperial court and was generally in the beheader realm or even half-step earth immortal realm. Therefore, when the news of King of Donghai's death came, the station of shenluo city immediately asked for help from Zhaoge city.

It could be said that Duan Lulong wasn't only here to investigate the case, but also to prevent the negotiations from falling apart and Li Chu from fighting.

Now that there were three powerful existences in the degeneration stage here, even a true God of the land might not be unable to put up a fight. However, Li Chu actually dared to haggle over the price like this, causing Duan Lulong's bad temper to become a little unbearable.

Just as he was about to speak, old man Wei suddenly said, ” “Alright, let's set it as twenty days. If we can't find the real murderer within 20 days, we'll return your freedom.”

Duan Lulong turned to look at elder Wei and instantly sent a voice transmission to him. “What are you guys doing? Why are you so tolerant of him?”

“Peace is the most important thing, peace is the most important thing,” replied elderly man Wei with his spiritual will.

Duan Lulong's expression was complicated, but he still managed to keep his cool. After all, Li Chu had still left with them. Although the process was a little strange, it was still considered smooth.

Moreover, he was very familiar with old man Wei's character. This old man was definitely not a kind person. Back in the days when he killed demons and devils, what kind of cruel methods had he not used? Unless the sun rose from the West, it was impossible to count on him to have a good temper.

When he said that peace was the most important thing, Duan Lulong heard it and knew to stop while he was ahead.

It clearly meant that the little Daoist was not to be trifled with!

This made Duan Lulong a little suspicious. is this young Daoist really that powerful? ” There were three mighty figures in the decay severing stage here, and he was already at the peak of the decay severing stage, yet elder Wei was still so afraid. There was clearly something wrong.

However, he had just arrived and did not understand the situation, so he did not interfere rashly.

In any case, it was fine as long as Li Chu was willing to leave with them.

Seeing Li Chu being taken away, the rest of the people in de Yun sub-temple panicked.

Wei Jiangli held the Fox girl's hand and furrowed his brows. will little Daoist priest li be alright? ”

“No, master will be fine.” The Fox girl was still very confident in Li Chu, but then she said weakly, ” “But this matter seems to be very serious. I don't know when he will come back.”

When elder du came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, he realized that Li Chu was gone. He was disappointed and wanted to hear his master praise him.

The little fat Dragon also blinked his big eyes in confusion.

With its simple intelligence, it had already understood that the meal just now was miss Jiang Li's farewell banquet. However, it couldn't understand why this meal would send the terrifying Li Chu away instead.

The saddest one was Wang longqi. He looked up at the sky in despair, as if he had lost his parents, and mumbled something that no one else could understand.

When the others saw this, they couldn't help but sigh at the sincerity of his feelings for Li Chu. Indeed, a friend in need was a true friend. Li Chu had only been taken away for investigation, and he was already so worried.

However …

If they got closer, they might hear some of his mumbling, and they might have other opinions.

“King of Donghai is dead, hehe. King of Donghai is really dead, hehe.”

“Why did you die so suddenly, you damn Yingluo?”

“Should we run or not?”

“That's a problem, Yingying.”
