Pagoda Immortality

"Xiaoying! Don't be rude."

Seeing this, the pleasant-looking rich lady stepped forward and scolded him, then looked at Lu Li with a smile: "Young Master is frowning, but what troubles you encountered?"

"Girl, what do you want from me?"

Lu Li frowned, but did not expose the other party. He stood up and said coldly.

He was not sure whether this person had also gained insight, and whether he could know the origins of others just like himself.

However, as an outsider, this woman would not do anything insignificant. There must be a reason for coming to find him. Lu Li wanted to see what this person wanted.

The young lady from the rich family was not angry when she saw this. She bowed slightly and said, "My little girl Tian Wanxi, the daughter of the Andu Tian family, would like to ask the young master to step aside and talk to me. I wonder if the young master can give me a favor?"

"Sorry, I have something else to do."

Lu Li shook his head and declined directly. If this person speaks frankly, he will listen for now, but if he wants to move away, then forget it.

As he said that, he smiled and clasped his fists, then turned and walked into the crowd.

When he first came here, he didn't know anything about it, but he didn't dare to get too close to an outsider. If this person wanted to deal with him like the big yellow dog, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself?

At the moment, it is better to quickly find a way to stabilize, and then look for an opportunity to enter the city lord's mansion and rescue Sun Buer.

Seeing Lu Li being so disrespectful, Tian Wanxi couldn't help but frown. The maid who happened to be quite dissatisfied with Lu Li's behavior couldn't help but rolled her eyes slightly and whispered in his ear.

After a while, the maid nodded in agreement, stood up and left.

Tian Wanxi hesitated slightly, then called the other maid in the yellow skirt who had never spoken before, and whispered: "Follow him, don't scare the snake."

The maid in yellow skirt turned slightly, said yes, and followed Lu Li in the direction of leaving.

On Lu Li's side, he seemed to be walking casually on the long street, but in fact he was secretly wary of the woman just now and glanced at her from the corner of his eye from time to time.

At this glance, although Tian Wanxi was not seen, the maid in the yellow skirt looked sneaky, and she couldn't help but frown slightly, secretly thinking that there was trouble.

It seems that this person is really uneasy and kind-hearted.

After testing back and forth a few times and confirming that the other party was following him, Lu Li immediately walked out of the main road and turned onto a slightly narrower side road.

There are mostly teahouses and inns on both sides of this auxiliary road, and there are not many pedestrians.

Lu Li buried his head and walked forward for more than a hundred steps before the maid in yellow skirt appeared at the entrance of the auxiliary road. However, because there were few people in front of her and there were no vendors on the street, she did not dare to follow too closely.

Lu Li pretended not to see it and continued walking forward for about a mile, and finally found the entrance to an alley on the right front. After a moment's hesitation, Lu Li quickly walked into the alley.

Upon seeing this, the maid in yellow skirt immediately quickened her pace and followed him. However, when she came to the entrance of the alley, she realized that there was no trace of Lu Li in the long and narrow alley.

The maid in yellow skirt frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then walked quickly into the alley.

After walking more than a hundred steps into the alleyway, a branch road appeared in front of her to the right.

The maid in the yellow skirt pressed against the wall and moved step by step towards the entrance of the branch, wanting to see if Lu Li had entered the branch.

Finally, she came to the entrance of the fork.

Then, he carefully stuck out half of his head and looked into the fork in the road!

However, just this look almost scared her soul out.

It turned out that Lu Li hadn't gone far and was standing at the entrance of the fork in the road. But when he saw half of the maid's head sticking out, he couldn't help but sneered and said faintly: "Does it look good?"

The maid was frightened, ‘Ah! ’ screamed, then turned and ran away.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Li stepped out and grabbed the maid's arm, pulling her into the fork in the road. At the same time, he grabbed the woman's neck and said in a deep voice: "Shut up! Otherwise, you will die."

The maid was pressed against the wall, her bulging chest rising and falling, and she begged for mercy in fear: "No, don't kill me, I, I'm not a bad person...ahem!"

Lu Li looked at the maid coldly, relaxed his palms slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you following me."

The maid took a breath and said, "No, I'm not following you. I'm just following orders. I'm just a servant. Please, please let me go..."

"Acting on orders? It was your lady who asked you to come, right?"

"Yes Yes..."

"Why is she following me?"

"I don't know. I just went out with the lady to relax today. She didn't say anything before. Maybe, maybe because I saw that you are good-looking, young master, so I just wanted to get to know you..."

It seems that this maid does not know Tian Wanxi's true intention.

Lu Li frowned and thought for a moment, then struck the maid's drunken nerves with a palm knife, knocking her unconscious.

This fork in the road is a dead end, and there is a high wall not far ahead.

Lu Li glanced at the maid on the ground and walked outside. Unexpectedly, when he came out, he saw two tall middle-aged people at both ends of the alley outside.

When the two of them saw Lu Li coming out, they were stunned for a moment, and then pressed towards Lu Li from left to right.

Obviously, these two people came for Lu Li.

Lu Li felt a little angry and was about to take action when he saw this, but at this moment, a cry suddenly came from the entrance of the alleyway on the left: "Sir, wait a minute!"

Hearing the sound, the two middle-aged men in uniform couldn't help but stop.

Lu Li followed the sound and saw two more women at the entrance on the left. One of them was the maid in purple skirt who scolded Lu Li before, and the other was Tian Wanxi.

"Miss!"

The middle-aged man in front of Tian Wanxi turned around and saluted.

Tian Wanxi nodded, walked by, and slowly came to a place not far from Lu Li: "I don't mean any harm, I just want to chat with you alone."

"no offence?"

Lu Li sneered and looked at the two middle-aged men holding knives: "You just followed me, and you came here with thugs. Do you mean there is no malice?"

Tian Wanxi smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I didn't call them here to harm you. I just worried that you would harm me. It was just for self-defense."

"Worried that I will be bad for you?"

Lu Li sneered, "How can I, a weak scholar, hurt you?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Tian Wanxi's peripheral vision squinted slightly, looking at the maid lying on the ground in the crossroads behind Lu Li, "Some things can't just be taken at face value, right?"

"Explain your true purpose."

Lu Li didn't want to waste time with this person, so he frowned and said coldly.

Tian Wanxi smiled and asked the two middle-aged guards to move back a little. Then she walked alone into the broken path behind Lu Li. As she walked, she said, "Go a little further in. I'm sure you won't mind."

Lu Li turned around and walked into the fork in the road, but he didn't get too close. He was about ten feet away, waiting for Tian Wanxi to speak.

Tian Wanxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about making a deal?"

Lu Li didn't speak.

Tian Wanxi continued: "I got the news that there will be a literary selection contest in the City Lord's Mansion in half a month. After passing it, you can become the Mugu of the City Lord's Mansion and have many special powers. You go and participate. If you succeed, do one thing for me. Can."

As he spoke, his beautiful eyes flashed, looking weak and helpless, "Of course, your work will not be in vain, our Tian family will pay you enough remuneration. In addition, if you have any conditions, feel free to ask for them, including... ..”
