Chapter 18: Attitude is the Mask of the Heart"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 24000 emotion points in this storytelling session!" Lu Li stood up to leave, and the teahouse suddenly became chaotic, with the familiar complaints ringing out again. "Mr. Lu, don't tell stories anymore. Go to the execution ground and be an executioner. When there is a death row inmate, just tell a story in front of him and stop halfway through. This way, you can drive him crazy without even using the knife!" "Alright, alright, the stories we heard today are quite exciting! I also want to experience a wonderful life like Bai Ningbing." "Come on, Bai Ningbing is a beautiful boy with silver hair and white skin, and he is also born with a unique body. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself." "Tsk, if I can't be a true demon like Bai Ningbing, then I'll be Gu Yue's generation!" The audience chatted and laughed, and were about to disperse. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the private room on the second floor: "Wait a minute!" The voice was full of energy, like the sound of a huge bell, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Lu Li frowned slightly. He was planning to use the emotion points he had just obtained to go shopping.
The person who was speaking was Xiao Buyi. He had a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, and he made people feel good about him at first sight. Many female audience members in the teahouse were dazzled by the sight of peach blossoms: "Hey, whose handsome boy is this? Why have I never seen him before?" "Tsk, in terms of looks, our Mr. Lu is not bad either, and I think Mr. Lu is much more elegant than him!" Xiao Buyi stared at Lu Li and said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Lu recognizes me?" Lu Li was stunned, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the Mountain and River Fan: "This should be the first time we meet, why do you say that, sir?" Xiao Buyi laughed and said: "Mr. Lu is so forgetful. You just told me about me a few days ago! I am Xiao Buyi, the guy who colluded with the demon sect and defected from his master as you said." There was an uproar in the teahouse! Everyone showed an incredible expression. After all, Xiao Buyi was very famous and was also a powerful person in the realm of life and death! The Life and Death Realm is the fourth level of strong people, who are like gods to mortals. It’s not like there haven’t been cultivators who have visited Lu Li’s teahouse before, but the highest level they’ve reached is only the Huazhen realm, and they’re just unknown little characters in the cultivation world. Many people showed worried expressions. They remembered that Lu Li had revealed Xiao Buyi's secret that day. So they knew without thinking that Xiao Buyi must have come to cause trouble. Lu Li looked calm, and before he could say anything, Zhan Gu took the lead and jumped in front of Lu Li. "Hehe, I've heard of Master Xiao's name a long time ago! But if you want to take action here, I'm afraid you should think twice!" Zhan Gu's shoulders shook, and a powerful aura was released from him. The tables and chairs in the teahouse shook immediately, and bowls, plates and cups fell to the ground with crackling sounds. "A strong person in the realm of life and death? This new security guard is actually a strong person in the realm of life and death?" Because of what happened yesterday, Lu Li had an impression of Zhan Gu, but he didn't know him well. When the shop assistant told him that Zhan Gu wanted to come to the teahouse to watch the show, he didn't ask any questions, but just nodded in agreement without saying a word to Zhan Gu. But I didn't expect this guy to be a cultivator in the realm of life and death! It seems that he came to the teahouse for some other purpose! Lu Li's thoughts raced, but he decided to remain silent and see how things would develop. “Humph, you are so loyal, facing two powerful men in the realm of life and death, you dare to jump out and take responsibility!”
Xiao Buyi snorted, but didn't take Zhan Gu seriously. After all, he was a powerful warrior at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm, and he had learned a lot of skills from Luoyumen and Chimo Sect, while Zhan Gu was only at the fifth level of the Life and Death Realm. However, he didn't know that Zhan Gu was not loyal, but knew that there was a powerful person in the realm of Taoism in the hall, so he came out fearlessly to confront Xiao Buyi. Su Huan-zhen had long been eyeing Xiao Buyi and Bai Ruogu. The moment the two entered the teahouse, she knew they were cultivators. Xiao Buyi was fine, but Bai Ruogu's attire made her look like a typical demonic witch. As long as these two people make any unusual movements, Su Huanzhen will immediately kill them with thundering means! "But don't worry, I no longer have any intention of causing trouble for Mr. Lu." "I just wanted to borrow his space to say something. What Mr. Lu said about me before is indeed true!" "I, Xiao Buyi, have indeed colluded with the Red Demon Cult. The person next to me is the daughter of the Red Demon Cult leader, Bai Ruogu!" It was as if a bomb had been dropped in the teahouse. Everyone was in an uproar and started shouting: "What! What Mr. Lu said was actually true. I didn't take it seriously at all!" "This Xiao Buyi is really shameless. He dared to say in public that he colluded with the Red Demon Sect. He is really not afraid of being embarrassed." "Keep your voice down! He is a monk and can kill you with just one finger!" "What are you afraid of? Doesn't the guard next to Mr. Lu look very strong? Who on earth is Mr. Lu? He knows so many secrets and even has a cultivator as a bodyguard!" "It's wonderful, wonderful! I really enjoyed coming here to listen to books!" Xiao Buyi was speechless. He thought that after revealing his identity, at least half of the people here would be scared away! But I didn't expect that they would get more and more excited the more they listened, and even dared to point fingers at me. They really didn't seem like normal people, but more like people of the devil. Xiao Buyi continued: "After listening to Mr. Lu's story today, Xiao was quite touched!" "So I decided not to hide it anymore! From now on, I will be the Dharma King who protects the Scarlet Demon Cult!" "Luo Yumen is ungrateful and has let me down. I, Xiao Buyi, will formally declare war on them! Sooner or later, I will settle accounts with them!" "I am saying this here today to tell everyone that I will take back everything I lost with my own hands!" After saying that, Xiao Buyi took Bai Ruogu downstairs and walked out of the teahouse. But before Bai Ruogu left, she actually flirted with Lu Li in public, leaving Lu Li speechless. Su Huanzhen upstairs raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I don't need to take action... This is good. Zhan Gu and I will be in the spotlight, and it will be easier to protect Mr. Lu." "But is Mr. Lu a cultivator? Does he need my help?" "Seeing how calm he was just now, he should not be afraid of Xiao Buyi! Could it be that as I thought, Mr. Lu is really a powerful saint?" ……
In the backyard of the teahouse, Lu Li sat on the ground, supporting his cheek with his hand, looking thoughtful. "This won't work. I've attracted a powerful person just by telling him a piece of gossip. I wonder how many powerful people will come to this small teahouse in the future!" Lu Li was indeed a little worried that Xiao Buyi would attack him. After all, his current cultivation level was only at the Huazhen realm, and he couldn't even defeat one of Xiao Buyi's hands. As for why Lu Li was not panicked at all, it was all learned from "The Legend of the Great Love Immortal". "Attitude is a mask of the heart. The Immortal Venerable is right!" (End of this chapter)
