Chapter 152 Qingqiu (XII)
As the palace door opened, the messy interior showed everyone where the story was going.
This is... a fight in front of Dongjun?
The people outside the Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace were acting very ambiguous. They had different thoughts, some were really worried about the Qingqiu Fox Clan, some were just watching the fun with gloating, and some were even thinking about how to take advantage of the situation to maximize the influence of this incident and create a situation that was most beneficial to them.
The two young masters of the fox clan violated the rules in front of the throne of the Lord of the East, which could not be covered up by a simple excuse of being young and ignorant. If they only needed to point out the evil nature of the two people's actions in one sentence, the Qingqiu fox clan, especially Li Bei, would be completely embarrassed.
But no one wanted to be the first to speak out. At least they couldn't say anything that would offend others. They were all thousand-year-old monsters, so they naturally couldn't be used as pawns by others.
For a moment, although the situation in front of them had changed drastically, strangely, no one said a word. Everyone was watching, weighing whether it was better to add insult to injury or to help someone in need.
In the Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace, Li Bei's face was extremely ugly. He looked at Tushan Qiluo with murderous intent and was about to speak. However, Li Boyang, who was lying on the ground, reacted quickly. He struggled to stand up and ran towards Lu Ren while shouting, "Miss Yueshu, save me, your husband wants to kill me!"
Although this shout broke the suffocating silence, it also brought the awkward atmosphere to another climax.
What Lu Ren was thinking at this moment was: "Where on earth did this outspoken idiot come from? The person who wants to kill Li Boyang the most on the field right now may not be the young master of the fox clan, but me."
The reason why Li Boyang was so sensational was to protect himself.
Just now, when Lu Ren got off the sedan chair, Li Boyang was surrounded by the fox guards. Li Boyang thought that it was impossible. He was not like Lu Ren, pretending to be a bride, and the fox people did not dare to act rashly. Li Boyang was just a nominal food reserve. If he really fell into the hands of the fox, he would be chopped into pieces and used as a side dish for today's dinner.
People must save themselves. So, before the fox guards attacked, he took the opportunity to escape and came to find his backer - "Yue Shu."
Li Boyang called out to Lu Ren in a loud voice, and everyone present heard it clearly. He didn't know that Lu Ren's true identity had been exposed, and there was no need to pretend to be Yue Shu anymore. At this moment, he was still dutifully covering for Lu Ren and pretending to be Lu Ren's dowry.
And as if to prove what Li Boyang said, "Li Bei wanted to kill him," the fox guards behind Li Boyang rushed over from behind him and surrounded him.
At the wedding, two people fought in front of the bride, and they didn't even care that Lord Dongjun was there. What's more, a poor Taoist priest in gray clothes appeared out of nowhere. Even if he was dressed like a Taoist priest, it couldn't change the fact that he was a wild man who came from nowhere. This wild man also ran towards the bride crying at the wedding, which made it hard not to doubt the relationship between the two people.
Anyone who sees this will have to say that your circle is really messy.
With Li Boyang's intrusion, things have become out of control.
Li Bei knew that he couldn't let people watch any longer. If they continued to watch, the Qingqiu Fox Clan would lose face.
The first to react were Li Bei and Tu Shan Qi Luo's parents. Tu Shan Qi Luo's mother casually defined the matter as follows: "This little thief must have sneaked in from somewhere, so let's leave it to Tu Shan Qi Luo and Li Bei. It just so happens that the brother and sister haven't seen Master Dongjun for a long time, and they are discussing magic in front of Master Dongjun. Let's not disturb their master-disciple gathering, and go to the banquet hall to rest for a while."
Li Bei's father also laughed dryly and echoed: "Yeah, yeah, hahahaha."
The two forces that were originally at odds with each other were surprisingly united at this time, speaking in unison, and even exchanged glances and cooperated. The four of them dispersed to various parts of the crowd, like four sheepdogs, driving the crowd out.
The crowd followed their wishes and gradually dispersed, but the whispers continued. Anyone who saw it knew that after today, Li Bei's succession to the position of Fox Lord of Qingqiu, which was originally a foregone conclusion, would be in trouble again.
Although the crowd went far away, the fox guards were still chasing Li Boyang.
The magic lies in the fact that although Li Boyang looks panic-stricken, shouting, and running without any plan, dodging the attacks of the fox guards behind him like a headless fly, he is able to escape danger just right every time.
If there are too many coincidences, they can no longer be just coincidences.
Li Bei was such a smart person, how could he not see that Li Boyang was hiding something? However, Li Bei did not point it out on the spot, but just waved his hand at the fox guards and said, "Back off, you can't catch him."
The guards listened to the advice, responded and retreated.
In a flash, the Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace, which was originally bustling with people, became empty.
Li Bei stopped fighting with Tushan Qiluo. He stared at Tushan Qiluo with a gloomy face and said mercilessly: "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become more capable. You actually found so many people to ruin my wedding with Yueshu. You wanted to embarrass me and prevent me from inheriting the position of the Fox Lord of Qingqiu."
"Nothing was arranged by me, it's just a coincidence." Tushan Qiluo denied.
"Coincidence?" Li Bei looked at Lu Ren and asked, "You mean, after you left, Qingqiu has always been peaceful, and coincidentally, you suddenly came back after five hundred years. What a coincidence, as soon as you came back, my bride suddenly turned into someone I had never seen at my wedding. What's even more coincidental is that this person also knows you. You are always smart, can you help me calculate how high the possibility of this is?"
Tu Shan Qiluo didn't know where to start explaining, she could only explain feebly: "Although Lu Ren knows me, I swear, it was not me who arranged for him to secretly replace the bride."
"You didn't arrange this? If I heard it right, he is a human, right? How could a human come to the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
Since the creation of the Mountain and Sea Realm, no human has been here for a long time, and humans no longer even know how to reach the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Tushan Qiluo said: "I brought him here. But I brought him here to treat his illness."
"Treatment? Aren't there any hospitals in the human world? I don't even know what diseases humans have that require treatment in the Mountain and Sea World."
Tushan Qiluo glanced at Lu Ren and said hesitantly, "His soul is inflamed."
Others may not understand what this means, but how could the Qingqiu Fox, who has been in charge of the Qingqiu Qingchi for many years, not know the benefits of the Qingchi.
"You want to take him into the Qingchi? Do you know that the Qingchi is a sacred place in Qingqiu and only the clan leader can enter?"
"I know. But I--" I just want to save people, not to be the patriarch with you.
But before Tushan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Libei. He looked at Tushan Qiluo with an expression of "as expected", "So you used so many despicable tricks to seize the position of clan leader in order to save people? Why do you have to say it so high-soundingly?"
Tushan Qiluo knew that although Libei seemed calm, he was actually furious. No matter how she explained it now, it would be nothing but quibbling to Libei.
But Tushan Qiluo still refused to give up. Even if Libei didn't understand her, he was still Tushan Qiluo's brother. Tushan Qiluo didn't want to be misunderstood by her brother: "I really just brought him here to treat his illness. I didn't intend to seize the position of clan leader. We got separated while passing through the boundary gate. It's really just a coincidence that he appears here."
Li Bei still had an expression of disbelief on his face, and he was obviously about to say something to refute Tu Shan Qi Luo's explanation. But at this moment, a crisp clapping sound came from Dong Jun's direction.
Dong Jun, who was blindfolded, raised his lips, as if with a faint smile: "Okay, how old are you two? Why are you still quarreling for no reason like when you were little?"
In Dongjun's eyes, no matter how old Tushan Qiluo and Libei are, they will always be the two little kids who always hang around him.
If there is at least one person who can persuade Tushan Qiluo and Libei, it can only be Dongjun.
Li Bei turned his head and said to Dong Jun: "What kind of quarrel? She just wants to hurt me." His tone unconsciously carried some coquettish meaning that he himself did not even realize.
Tushan Qiluo also quickly asked Dongjun to judge: "I didn't, it's obvious that he was paranoid."
This kind of story happened thousands of times during the growth of these two people, and every time Dongjun stepped forward to act as a peacemaker: "Alright, alright, stop quarreling. Every time you quarrel, I am the one who suffers. When I was a child, you only broke my pens, inkstones, and paper. Now that you have grown up, even my Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace has been smashed by you."
The two people who were still in a state of confrontation finally reacted and turned around to look at the mess around them. The red silk on the beams was roughly torn apart, and the ground that had been scrubbed shiny was now covered with pits and cracks. There were even a few tiles knocked off the roof...
The two knelt down in front of Dong Jun: "Master Dong Jun, please forgive us. We were so excited just now that we forgot to consider the consequences."
Tushan Qiluo and Li Bei were raised by Dongjun, so how could Dongjun be angry with them?
Dong Jun waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm thankful that you didn't tear off the roof of my Mirror Flower Water Moon Palace."
Although this was just a joke, it greatly eased the tense atmosphere at the moment .
Finally, Dong Jun made the final decision: "Since the wedding hall has been destroyed and the bride is missing, why not treat today's incident as a rehearsal? After the Mirror Flower Water Moon Hall is repaired and the bride is taken care of, we can choose a date to hold the wedding. Good things take time."
Tushan Qiluo and Li Bei certainly couldn't have any objections, nor did they dare to.
Although they seemed to be at odds with each other, they appeared respectful and accepted Dongjun's proposal with a sincere heart.
After dealing with Tushan Qiluo and Li Bei, Dongjun turned his attention to Lu Ren and Li Boyang who were trying their best to hide their presence.
Lu Ren felt it was very magical. Dongjun's eyes were clearly blindfolded, but Lu Ren inexplicably felt that someone was looking at him.
He heard Dong Jun's gentle voice not far away: "Excuse me, my friend, why are you here in the Mountain and Sea Realm? Where is Yue Shu?"
Dongjun's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, yet it carried a natural sense of majesty, which made Lu Ren unable to help but straighten his back and take Dongjun's inquiries seriously.
