Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 40 Plot
Thunder Emperor City

Study room of the City Lord's Mansion

"Mom, Lu Yunyi's body may not last much longer!

The Thunder Heart Seed is not yet fully mature. I am worried that Lu Yunyi will not be able to hold on until the Thunder Emperor's treasure is opened."

Lei Tianqi, the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with anxious eyes.

"Why rush? We have raised her for three years, and this is what we have been waiting for.

I have waited for three years, and I cannot wait any longer for just a few days."

Mrs. Lu blew the teacup slowly.

"But I'm worried that it won't be enough time!" How could Lei Tianqi not worry? He had been waiting for this day for nearly sixty years.

They had waited so long to open the Thunder Emperor's treasure. If there was a problem with the Thunder Heart Seed at this time, all the planning he and his mother had done over the years would be in vain.

"Don't worry, there will be enough time.

The key to the treasure has always been in my hand. If I don't let go, no one can enter the treasure."

Mrs. Lu noticed that the tea was slightly cold, so she slowly took a sip and then put the teacup aside.

“But there is more than one key, and it’s not a good idea to keep dragging it out.

I see that the other families can’t wait any longer, and have been sending people to ask about the keys, both openly and covertly, over the past few days.”

There are three keys to unlock the treasure of Thunder Emperor, which are held by the three great families in Thunder Emperor City.

The City Lord's Mansion holds one of the keys.

The Thunder Emperor's treasure has appeared for many days. Only by putting the three keys together at the same time can the entrance to the treasure be opened.

Otherwise, even if the treasure appears, everyone can only watch from the outside and cannot enter the treasure at all.

Not to mention seizing the treasures left behind by the Thunder Emperor.

"Let them wait. With your father here, no matter how anxious they are, they may not have the courage to attack our City Lord's Mansion." Mrs. Lu was still not panicked.

After saying this, Mrs. Lu looked up at her son with a look of disappointment.

"You, you, why are you so impatient? The initiative is in the hands of our City Lord's Mansion.

Are you afraid that the other two families will come and attack you? Even if you give them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do that."

"I just want to get the Thunder Heart Seed as soon as possible. I won't feel at ease until I get it.

This is related to whether I can successfully inherit the Thunder Emperor's treasure!"

Lei Tianqi said with some grievance.

"Mother has been planning for you for so many years, and now the seeds are about to mature, why are you making trouble now?

The Thunder Heart Seeds have reached the final stage of maturity, so the Five Heart Soup cannot be stopped.

Tell Lei Laowu to be careful when he takes action so as not to attract the attention of those monks in the city.

The notice from the City Lord's Mansion is still posted outside. If someone finds out about us, it will be a big problem."

Mrs. Lu warned.

"Don't worry, mother. Lei Laowu is very cautious in his actions and will definitely not leave any traces.

It’s that Lu Yunyi…” Thinking of Lu Yunyi lying on the bed and possibly dying at any time, Lei Tianqi couldn’t help but worry.

"Didn't I tell you to rest assured?

Mother will not let her die at this time. If she has to die, she must die meaningfully."

Mrs. Lu glanced at her son and said nothing more.

Seeing that his mother didn't want to pay attention to him, Lei Tianqi could only shut up.

After the mother and son left, a small insect the size of a mosquito jumped out from under the cabinet, then flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

The little insect flew out of the window, then out of the yard, until it flew into an exquisite embroidered building.

"You all go down."

The woman who was originally sitting under the window playing the piano suddenly spoke.

The two maids in the room obediently left the woman's boudoir and closed the door for her.

After everyone left, the woman placed a ban in the house, then stretched out her hand and let the little bug fly onto the back of her hand. "Mother, brother, let me hear what you two are planning."

The woman raised a mysterious smile...

……

"Come on, I'm asking you a question, but you haven't said anything. Are you trying to fool me?" Jiang Li glanced at the handsome brother suspiciously.

This guy is becoming more and more suspicious the more I look at him.

Upon hearing this, the handsome man immediately protested his innocence.

"No, there's no way I could fool you, girl. I'm just thinking about what to say!"

The handsome brother said hurriedly.

"Don't think about it, just say it. Say whatever comes to your mind. Go ahead." Jiang Li slammed the table and said.

She would not continue to give him the opportunity to make excuses to fool herself.

This guy is getting more and more suspicious the more I look at him.

Knowing that this matter involves the City Lord's Mansion, he still dared to intervene.

Moreover, he took the initiative to cooperate with me. Why did he think he could get away with provoking the City Lord's Mansion?

If he doesn't explain clearly today, he can forget about this cooperation.

Jiang Li would not carry a time bomb with her.

"Okay, I'll tell you, don't be impatient!"

Under the stare of six pairs of eyes from three people, the handsome guy could only tell them the reason why he was willing to wade into this muddy water.

"I'm short of money. All my money has been cheated away, so I want to earn that reward to make up for it..." The handsome man said very quickly.

Jiang Li sneered, "Heh, do you think I'm a fool, or do you think I'm a fool."

Zhang Ruonan rolled her eyes, "That's a terrible excuse."

A trace of disdain flashed across Meng Jue's eyes, "Too fake."

Handsome Brother (⊙ｏ⊙): Is this reason so bad?
"If you don't tell the truth, please get out of here." Jiang Li directly issued an ultimatum.

"I said it, I said it!"

The handsome brother is anxious!

"I'm telling you, don't chase me away, I'm trying to save people!" he shouted.

"Save people? Who do you want to save? Tell me clearly." Jiang Li asked him with a cold face.

"I want to save the second daughter of the City Lord's Mansion, Lei Jiaojiao!"

"Lei Jiaojiao? Are you familiar with her? Why did you save her?" Zhang Ruonan asked curiously.

"Jiaojiao is the second daughter of the City Lord's Mansion. Her biological mother was a maid in the City Lord's Mansion. She became pregnant after being favored by City Lord Lei Kuang once.

That woman was just a mortal. The incident between City Lord Lei and her was just an accident, and he forgot about her existence afterwards.

She died shortly after giving birth to Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao was raised by Mrs. Lu afterwards.

Mrs. Lu supported her and gave her the treatment that a young lady from the Lei family deserved, but she only wanted to use her marriage to gain benefits for the Lei family.

A month ago, Jiaojiao wrote to me and told me that she was promised by Mrs. Lu to the Jiang family in Leidi City.

And she is marrying the Second Master of the Jiang Family who is already 1,500 years old!"

He was so furious when he received the letter that he brought his good brother and fiancée to Leidi City without thinking.

During this period of time, he has been looking for an opportunity to save Jiaojiao, but it is not so easy to save people in the City Lord's Mansion!

The rescue work was delayed like this, and before we knew it, a month had passed.

"You want to save Lei Jiaojiao, what does that have to do with us? Why do you have to form an alliance with us?
Do you think that after we form an alliance, we will help you rescue people? "

No way, he can't be so naive!

I will take a two-day break for the May Day holiday, and will update as usual afterwards.
