When Lu You was in the Water Yuan Sect, she had seen Shen Hu a few times. Every time, Shen Hu gave her a very serious impression. Moreover, although a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining was nothing in the eyes of Xia Ruofei and the others, in the eyes of the low-level Qi Refining disciples of the Water Yuan Sect, even disciples like Lu You who hadn't even reached the first level of Qi Refining, Shen Hu was still very dignified.
However, today's Shen Hu was abnormal. He was so amiable that it made Lu You feel a little apprehensive.
There must be a demon in the abnormal world.
Lu You's heart was beating like a drum. At first, she was full of expectations for cultivation, but Deacon Liu's performance the night before yesterday had taught her a vivid lesson. Now that she had experienced the cruel beating of the special society of the cultivation world, her heart had become sensitive and vigilant.
Lu You knew her appearance, and although she didn't know the actual age of Shen Hu, the sect leader, he looked to be in his forties. Could it be that this sect leader with a face full of smiles had ulterior motives towards her?
Shen Hu's temperament could be considered refined. After all, he was a cultivator, but now his image in Lu You's mind had suddenly become that of a greasy uncle, and the smile on his face had become somewhat wretched.
Lu You couldn't help but feel afraid. She knew very well that this was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and she hadn't even reached the first level of Qi Refining. In front of Shen Hu, she didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
"Sect leader, you … Why are you looking for me?" Lu You suppressed the fear in her heart and asked in a low voice.
Shen Hu saw that her voice was trembling and couldn't help but feel strange. He didn't know that he had been misunderstood by Lu You as a wretched uncle who was lustful.
"Nothing special. I just had to return to the country temporarily. Coincidentally, the two of you were carrying out a mission in the capital, so I wanted to have a simple chat with you!" Shen Hu said.
"Us?" Lu You was slightly stunned and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
So he was looking for her and Deacon Liu, then it shouldn't be a problem. However, she didn't dare to let her guard down. What if this sect leader had some special hobbies?
"Of course!" Shen Hu looked at Lu You strangely, "Let's talk inside!"
With that, he turned around and walked into the room.
Lu You was still in a daze. Deacon Liu had already gently pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Hurry up and go inside. Don't let the sect leader wait for us!"
"Oh!" Lu You couldn't help but follow Deacon Liu in.
At this moment, she had also made up her mind. Anyway, if Shen Hu really wanted to use force, she had no ability to resist at all. At most, she would fight to the death. She could only die. Anyway, she could not let him have his way.
With a heroic mood, Lu You walked into Shen Hu's room as if she was going to the battlefield.
Shen Hu could also feel Lu You's nervousness, but he thought that Lu You's nervousness was the kind of nervousness a low-level disciple would have when meeting the Sect Master, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Sit down!" Shen Hu said, "Do you want to drink anything?"
Deacon Liu hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, there's no need, there's no need. If you have any orders, just say it! We're not thirsty. "
Even Deacon Liu felt that Shen Hu's attitude today was a little too amiable. She couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
Shen Hu smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Deacon Liu and asked, "How are your injuries?"
Deacon Liu's face darkened and said, "I still can't use my Qi to cultivate. Sect Leader, I might not be able to …"
Shen Hu sighed softly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I've checked your injuries. I can't do anything! Xia … "
When Shen Hu said this, he suddenly became alert and stopped the car in time. He almost didn't notice that he had directly said the words "Senior Xia". If he had said it, perhaps Lu You might not have thought of Xia Ruofei, but what if? If Lu You really found out that Xia Ruofei was a cultivator at the Aurous Core stage, then Xia Ruofei might be angry and there might be no chance of completing the "Water Element Scripture".
Shen Hu's mind turned quickly and he remedied it in time, "Next time, you can't be so muddle-headed! Didn't I tell you repeatedly that you can't casually use the methods of cultivators on ordinary people in the secular world? You have to know that there's always someone better than you! That Aurous Core stage senior personally punished you. How can we Qi Refining stage cultivators easily resolve it? "
Deacon Liu sighed and said, "I know I'm wrong. Sect Leader, I'm already satisfied that I can keep my life this time."
"It's good that you know!" Shen Hu snorted and said, "How about this! After you go back this time, you can slowly recuperate in the sect. Even if you can't fully recover and can't cultivate, the Water Element Sect will take care of you for the rest of your life! "
Although Deacon Liu didn't know Xia Ruofei's true identity, he knew that Lu You had the complete "Water Element Scripture" and the spirit crystal. He also knew that the Aurous Core stage cultivator wanted to take care of Lu You. Moreover, she was injured in the line of duty, so Shen Hu couldn't expel her from the Water Element Sect just because she was crippled.
To put it bluntly, it was because she knew too much.
If Xia Ruofei hadn't casually mentioned that he couldn't take Deacon Liu's life, Shen Hu would have wanted to get rid of Deacon Liu directly. After all, she had caused the Water Element Sect to fall into a huge crisis. Besides, a dead person would definitely not reveal the secret.
But since this didn't work, he could only keep Deacon Liu in the sect. In short, he couldn't just drive her out casually, otherwise the news might leak out and Lu You's safety couldn't be guaranteed.
Deacon Liu naturally didn't know that she had taken a trip around the gates of hell. After listening to Shen Hu's words, Deacon Liu showed a grateful expression and said, "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader! Even if I can't cultivate, I will definitely contribute to the sect as much as I can! "
Shen Hu nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Lu You. His expression became even more amiable, "Lu You, I heard that the Aurous Core stage senior also gave you a cultivation method and a precious spirit crystal?"
Lu You's heart was beating like a drum. It seemed that until now, Shen Hu didn't have any intention of coveting her beauty. Now that Shen Hu had asked about the cultivation method and the spirit crystal, then … he might be coveting these cultivation resources?
Lu You secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If the cultivation resources were really taken away, then so be it. Anyway, her passion for cultivation wasn't that high now.
"Yes! Sect Leader! " Lu You replied carefully, "Deacon Liu told me that the crystal that contains a large amount of spiritual Qi is called a spirit crystal. In addition, the senior also gave me a cultivation method called the 'Water Element Scripture'. I took a look at the contents and it seems to be somewhat similar to the cultivation method that we received when we entered the sect. Sect Leader, I've brought the cultivation method and the spirit crystal. You can take a look first … "
Hearing this, Shen Hu quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need! Since the senior has clearly indicated that this is an opportunity for you, how can I, as the Sect Leader, snatch it away? And you have to remember that cultivation methods are not easily passed on. Although the 'Water Element Scripture' is similar to our sect's cultivation method, the cultivation method in your hands should be more precious. So, without the senior's permission, you must not let anyone else see it, understand? "
Shen Hu was also worried that Lu You didn't know anything and casually showed the cultivation method to others. If it was an ordinary person in the secular world, it might be fine. But if it was a cultivator, especially a cultivator who had cultivated the incomplete version of the 'Water Element Scripture', it was inevitable that he would have evil thoughts. Even if he didn't snatch it away, secretly making a copy of it would be unbearable! When this cultivation method was spread out and Xia Ruofei found out that someone had cultivated the complete version of the 'Water Element Scripture', then Shen Hu wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he had a lot of mouths!
After hearing this, Lu You nodded and said in a daze, "I understand, Sect Leader."
Shen Hu reminded her again, "The safest way is for you to firmly remember the cultivation method in your heart and then destroy it. This way, there won't be any possibility of it being leaked!"
After Shen Hu finished speaking, he felt more and more that his idea was very reasonable. He immediately said, "Yes! Let's do that! Lu You, your task in the next few days is to memorize this cultivation method and then destroy it. In addition, you must remember that except for you, this cultivation method must not be passed on to anyone else, including me, the Sect Leader. Unless that Gold Core senior allows you to do so, understand? "
"Yes! I understand! "Lu You said.
She looked at the Sect Leader in front of her who suddenly became righteous again and couldn't help but mutter in her heart, "What medicine is this person selling in his gourd?"
After Shen Hu finished speaking, his expression became much gentler and he continued, "Lu You! Since this Gold Core senior gave you the cultivation method and Spirit Crystal, it means that he still thinks highly of your talent. Yesterday, I learned that your innate talent is very good. Moreover, your physique is inclined towards the water attribute. Therefore, the Water Essence Scripture is very compatible with you. You must work hard to cultivate it. Don't disappoint the expectations of that Gold Core Stage senior!
"Oh! Okay! "Lu You said.
"I'm looking for you today! There's one more thing. " Shen Hu said amiably, "You also know that our Water Yuan Sect actually belongs to the Tianyi School. Every three years, the Tianyi School will select a group of disciples from various vassal sects to enter the Tianyi School and cultivate in seclusion. "This year is the year of selecting short-term disciples again. Our Water Element Sect has been given two places! I think your talent can be said to be one in ten thousand, so the sect is going to focus on training you and give you one of the places. "
Deacon Liu stood aside with a strange expression.
Deacon Liu was in charge of Lu You and the other new disciples. She naturally knew that Lu You's talent was indeed good, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that she was one in ten thousand. At least in the Water Element Sect, there were several disciples who were as talented as Lu You. Therefore, she knew very well that Shen Hu's care for Lu You was mostly because of that Gold Core senior. However, he couldn't expose the senior's identity, so he exaggerated Lu You's talent to one in ten thousand.
In fact, Deacon Liu was also very curious about the identity of that Gold Core senior.
After hearing Shen Hu's words, Lu You was directly stunned. She said, "Let me … go to the Tianyi Palace to cultivate?"
"What do you think?" Shen Hu said with a smile, "The disciples of various sects who go to the Tianyi Palace to cultivate enjoy the same treatment as the disciples of the Tianyi Palace. In terms of cultivation environment and cultivation resources, the Tianyi Palace is much better than our Water Element Sect. If you enter the Tianyi Palace to cultivate for three years, it is estimated that you can reach the fifth or even sixth level of the Qi Refining realm! If you stay in the Water Element Sect, your cultivation speed will be much slower. "
Lu You asked carefully, "Sect Leader, may I ask … is the Tianyi Palace also in England?"
Shen Hu looked a little strange and said, "The Tianyi Palace is not in England."
"Then … then it's in Europe?" Lu You asked again.
Shen Hu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If an ordinary disciple heard that they had such a precious place to cultivate, they would have been very grateful. However, Lu You didn't seem to be excited at all. Instead, she asked this and that, and the questions she asked were all so ridiculous.
However, this was Senior Xia's friend, so Shen Hu didn't dare to show his impatience. He continued to explain with a smile, "No, Lu You. Although there are many sects in the cultivation world, only our Water Element Sect has established a sect overseas. The other sects are at most on the sea. Most of the sects are distributed in Huaxia, and the Tianyi Palace is no exception."
"In Huaxia?" Lu You hesitated for a while and then said, "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader, but … can I not take this place?"
Deacon Liu, who was standing on the side, was already very envious. She knew too well how precious this kind of cultivation place was. In the past, the weak Water Element Sect was usually given a place. This year, there was suddenly an extra place. It was most likely prepared for Lu You. That senior could actually influence the Tianyi Palace and even specifically give this place to Lu You. This was really enviable.
When Deacon Liu heard Lu You say that she didn't want the place, she couldn't help but cry out, "Lu You, don't be stupid! Cultivating in the Tianyi Palace is completely different from cultivating in our Water Element Sect! This place is very precious. Why don't you go yet? "
"Don't force her," Shen Hu said, "Lu You, why don't you want to go?"
Lu You said with some embarrassment, "Sect Leader, my family doesn't know about my cultivation …"
Shen Hu said indifferently, "That's normal. The cultivation world and the secular world are two different worlds. Even if you tell your family, I'm afraid they won't believe you. Maybe they'll think you've met a swindler! But what does this have to do with you going to the Tianyi Palace to cultivate? "
Lu You said, "I'm studying in England, so I can join the Water Element Sect and take care of my studies at the same time. However, if I go to the Tianyi Palace to cultivate, I have to go back home. I haven't even gotten my degree certificate in England. If I interrupt my studies and go back home, my family will be very disappointed. And … I don't think my talent is as good as you said. I still can't take the initiative to absorb the Spiritual Qi to cultivate. So, this precious place should be given to other disciples in the sect! "
Shen Hu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect Lu You's reason to be like this …
