Du Fan called Baili Qiu over, briefly introduced Mrs. Lu's situation to him, and left the bedroom to the two of them, while he walked out of the attic and came to the elixir garden to check the elixir herbs planted in the garden.

After about a meal, Mrs. Lu came to Du Fan alone.

"How's the talk?" Du Fan asked casually with a spirit grass between his fingers.

"It went better than I expected. Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, and her tone was very relaxed.

"Oh, my apprentice doesn't reject you?" Du Fan replanted the spirit grass in his hand in the soil, got up and looked at Mrs. Lu, and said with some surprise.

"Not only is it not exclusive, but it's also very close. Mrs. Lu smiled, then took a deep breath, as if she had made some decision, and said with a solemn face: "In this situation, it is impossible for you to let me go, so I thought about it, I will stay, take care of Baili Qiu, help him untie the knot, and watch him grow day by day, step by step towards success." ”

"How could you have such an idea?" Du Fan was slightly surprised.

Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "Aside from grievances and hatreds, I like this child very much, plus the relationship between his mother, I will treat him sincerely, firstly, out of friendship and responsibility for my sisters, and secondly, it can be regarded as atonement for my husband......

There is another thing I need to tell you, because of my physique, I can't give birth to offspring, which is one of the reasons why the family allows me to marry the Lu family, in fact, I am just a chess piece given up in the clan in exchange for some benefits, so I can't have no resentment towards the family at all, in fact, I have long been disheartened and don't think about returning to the family.

Now that my husband is dead, my sister who grew up with me has also passed away for many years, whether it is Wuyu or the Nangong family, there is no place for me to be nostalgic, although I don't know where I am now, but it doesn't matter, I just want to put the spirit of the rest of my life on Baili Qiu's body, and treat him as my own child.

Du Daoyou, you won't object, right?"

"If that's what you really think, I won't restrict you from contacting Baili Qiu, and even in terms of cultivation and life, I will also provide you with some help within my ability...... However, the human heart is the most unpredictable, I believe that what you say now is out of true feelings, but after a year, ten years, it will be difficult to say, so let me agree to your request, but I want to plant a ban in your body, and I hope Mrs. Lu understands. Du Fan said after thinking for a while.

"This is natural, Du Daoyou can do it. Mrs. Lu had expected it, and her face was calm.

Du Fan was not polite, he immediately urged the secret technique, plus the assistance of magic tools, and planted layers of prohibitions in Mrs. Lu's body, as long as this woman had the slightest bad intentions, Du Fan would immediately know, as long as he had a thought, Mrs. Lu would be wiped out in an instant.

"I'll talk to Baili Qiu later, if he doesn't have any opinions, I'll help you arrange another place to live on the main peak, after all, with Mrs. Lu's gender and identity, it is inconvenient to live with me for a long time. Du Fan said.

"It's okay, then there is Laud Daoyou. Mrs. Lu nodded and saluted Du Fan.

Subsequently, when Du Fan found Baili Qiu and asked for advice, he didn't expect that his apprentice really had a dependence on Mrs. Lu similar to his relatives.

In this way, Du Fan is also relieved, in fact, he also hopes that Baili Qiu can be taken care of, try to open his heart, accept others, and then come out of the shadow of childhood, step on the haze of hatred, and fly freely under the blue sky and white clouds like a normal person.

......

After dealing with the matter of Mrs. Lu and Baili Qiu, Du Fan felt a little relieved in his heart, but when he thought that in order to ask for the main peak courtyard, he had to face the Maple Leaf Sect Master and even the Supreme Elder, and the ensuing position of the sect master, he couldn't help but have a little headache.

Sure enough, in a large hall on the main peak, Du Fan just met with the Maple Leaf Sect Master, the old fox didn't say a word, and activated a messenger jade slip as soon as possible, and after a while, the two Supreme Elders came together, and then around the change of the sect master, and Du Fan launched a discussion meeting that lasted for several hours.

The meaning of the two Supreme Elders is very clear, that is, they want Du Fan to succeed Maple Leaf and serve as the next sect master of Qixia Sect.

For this matter, Du Fan naturally tried his best to refuse, and in the end he found a lot of reasons, talking about the spitting stars flying sideways, and finally prevaricated the matter of the sect master for the time being, and by the way, he asked for a courtyard that was not too far from his residence.

After bidding farewell to the Maple Leaf Sect Master and the two Supreme Elders, Du Fan immediately returned to his residence and took Baili Qiu and Madam Lu to the other courtyard that he had just begged to come to, and settled them down.

After doing this, Du Fan immediately returned to his cultivation room and began to retreat and heal.

......

Ten days later, a Zhuji deacon summoned Du Fan to go to the Great Hall to discuss important matters, and several Supreme Elders were waiting for him.

Du Fan had a big head at that time, thinking that the high-level leaders of the Qixia Sect were going to bring up the old matter again and let him succeed to the position of sect master, but this time he guessed wrong.

In a large hall, eight Yuanying powerhouses and hundreds of Jindan elders were in place.

"Not long ago, there was news from the border between China and Wan, and the range of the high-grade spirit stone veins has shrunk again, more years, less than a few months, and it will be accurately explored, at that time, the war is about to break out, so now this period of time, it can be said that it is quiet before the storm, you are the mainstay of this sect and even the entire Zhongzhou, and you should have a certain psychological preparation. ”

A Supreme Elder spoke, implying that once a great war broke out, everyone present would be on the battlefield.

"The war is not far away, some pre-war work must be implemented immediately, in view of the strategic deployment of the war, the three major super sects in Zhongzhou, the six large sects, the twelve cultivation families and the forces of all parties, discussed more than 100 times, and finally decided on three sets of combat plans, but no matter which set of combat bills, a group of monks are needed to act as a vanguard team, and they will be stationed on the border between China and Wan on the same day.

The main tasks of the vanguard are as follows: 1. Build a war fortress there, where once a major war begins, it can be attacked and retreated; 2. Deploy various magic formations such as defense, killing, psychedelic, and teleportation inside and outside the war fortress to assist in operations and transport resources; 3. Organize scout troops to penetrate deep into the enemy army and probe the enemy's situation......

Another Supreme Elder spoke, recounting the battle situation and analyzing the strategy.

Unconsciously, the entire hall fell into an atmosphere of tension and oppression. (To be continued.) )
