The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 265 Little Lin Duidui

Li Jingxiao immediately understood that the old Dragon King might actually not want his daughter to marry into the capital.

With his grandson raised by his side, Li Jingxiao, as the father, would definitely visit the Dongting Dragon Palace often.

If the Dragon Palace is in trouble, they will take the initiative to help solve it.

Li Jingxiao smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself, "What a clever plan."

But if you really think about it, it seems like I haven't lost anything.

If Ao Qingqing really does bear him children, it wouldn't take much effort to help the Dongting Dragon Palace with ordinary matters.

If it's too difficult, or if it threatens me, I can simply take my children with me.

No, my child has lived in the Dragon Palace of Dongting since he was a child, so he will definitely consider himself a part of the Dragon Palace.

They might even fight to the death for the Dragon Palace to repay the debt of gratitude for being raised.

So Li Jingxiao thought about it and decided not to provoke Ao Qingqing.

That way, none of these troubles would exist.

So Li Jingxiao thought for a moment and then made an excuse, saying, "There have been many troubles in Maoshan recently. Two powerful demons who are famous in the area have been imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower."

There are too many things to deal with.

Moreover, just in case, I will be guarding the Demon-Locking Tower for a long time to come.

I simply don't have any free time.

To everyone's surprise, the old Dragon King said, "The matter of Maoshan is more important; we can talk about the others later."

After Li Jingxiao left the Dongting Dragon Palace, he thought about it for a while and finally understood what the old dragon king meant.

Since you haven't agreed yet, trying to persuade yourself to reconsider or offering bribes will likely only cause you to feel dissatisfied.

Rather than offending yourself, it's better to postpone it for now.

As long as he continues to visit the Dongting Dragon Palace, there will always be opportunities for Ao Qingqing to get closer to him.

Moreover, given the lifespan of dragons, let alone three to five months, or even a year and a half.

Even if it takes thirty or fifty years, it's nothing.

Moreover, by then, his two wives might already be dead.

At that time, Ao Qingqing, with whom he had spent many years, would have had a very high chance of becoming his second wife.

That is, a second-marriage wife.

Li Jingxiao sighed again, thinking to himself that none of these old ghosts who had lived for countless years were easy to deal with.
-
Upon returning to the capital, as soon as I landed in the courtyard of my home, I saw Sister You Er hurrying forward.

He bowed and said, "Master, Miss Lin has arrived."

Li Jingxiao nodded. The matter of Daiyu coming to recognize her relatives had been arranged a few days ago.

He stepped forward, took You Erjie's little hand, and asked with a smile, "I'll come to your room tonight."

You and your third sister should take a nap this afternoon.

Upon hearing this, Sister You blushed.

I remember every time Li Jingxiao slept in my room.

He's always thinking of ways to get himself into a fight.

Sometimes he would teach the third sister some exercises to strengthen her core muscles.

Thinking of this, Sister You rolled her beautiful eyes at Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but laugh.

He even reached out and patted the beautiful woman's rounded bottom from behind.

This caused Sister You to exclaim in surprise.

He quickly looked around.

Make sure no one around can see it.

With a blush, she entered the house with a coquettish remark.

However, the second sister did not go to the reception room in the main hall.

So as not to let the two ladies notice that he was blushing.

Li Jingxiao smiled. Sister You was usually gentle, virtuous, and had no temper.

But once they start fighting, they become a completely different person.

It's really quite likable.

With his third sister as an assistant, Li Jingxiao liked her even more.

No wonder the book says that these two sisters are both beauties.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao was not stupid. He usually did not show any affection towards the two sisters in front of Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun.

Especially in front of Wang Xifeng, to avoid the three women becoming jealous, which would not be good for anyone.

Upon entering the room, one sees Qin Keqing sitting at the head of the table on the east side.

Yuan Chun sat in the first seat on the west side, with a little girl of seven or eight years old sitting next to her.

She was indeed beautiful, so much so that Li Jingxiao couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder she's Lin Daiyu."

But this praise was simply because they thought the little girl was cute.

It's too small; it doesn't interest me at all.

Wang Xifeng was at this moment 'supporting the lead actor' and making everyone laugh.

This woman actually enjoys talking and prefers being the center of attention and being the focus of everyone's gaze.

So being a supporting actress is not only not a problem for her, but she's actually quite happy about it.

Seeing Qin Keqing, Yuan Chun, and Lin Daiyu, who were sitting in the main seats, all hurriedly get up, Wang Xifeng turned around and saw Li Jingxiao walk in.

She hurriedly got up and stepped forward with a smile.

Heping'er, Xiren, and Qingwen helped Li Jingxiao take off his cloak.

In the past, Qin Keqing, along with Baozhu and Ruizhu, would do these kinds of things.

Later, Yuan Chun married into the family and they were given two separate courtyards, one on the east and one on the west.

Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun tacitly agreed that whichever courtyard Li Jingxiao slept in that day, the wives and concubines of that courtyard would take care of him.

Later, Wang Xifeng married into the family.

Because Qin Keqing and Yuan Chun practiced the Longevity Technique, they even handed over the power of managing the household to Wang Xifeng.

Naturally, people began to accept Wang Xifeng as the third wife.

Some trivial tasks were also left to her and the women in her house to do.

Therefore, although Wang Xifeng was not a wife, she enjoyed the same treatment as a wife.

Li Jingxiao noticed that Wang Xifeng winked at him while taking off his cloak.

They immediately realized that Lin Duidui's visit this time was definitely not just a family visit.

Smiling, she nodded slightly to Wang Xifeng, and a hint of affection flashed in the woman's eyes.

Intelligent people naturally prefer to associate with other intelligent people.

With just a glance, her man understands what she means.

This sense of tacit understanding was something Wang Xifeng greatly enjoyed and appreciated.

However, Li Jingxiao could probably guess that it was related to Lin Ruhai's transfer back to the capital.

Moreover, it's highly likely that Lin Daiyu herself didn't actually know what the matter was about.

Perhaps Lin Ruhai simply sent Daiyu with a letter.

Li Jingxiao naturally walked over and sat down next to Qin Keqing.

He took the teacup that Qin Keqing had handed to him from Baozhu, took a sip, and then smiled at Lin Daiyu.

"Speaking of which, I've had quite a few dealings with Uncle Lin, but unfortunately, I've always been held back by other matters and haven't been able to visit my aunt and cousin in Yangzhou."

Seeing him today, he is indeed as the old lady described—a clever, handsome, and well-mannered little boy.

Upon hearing this, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng covered their mouths to avoid laughing out loud.

Yuan Chun scolded her with great dissatisfaction, even though Lin Daiyu was indeed a young girl.

But the term 'little person' can mean both affectionate and teasing.

As Daiyu's cousin, Yuanchun naturally had to protect the young girl.

Although Lin Daiyu was nicknamed "Lin the Debater," that nickname only applied to certain people.

At most, he only speaks sharply when he is talking to his peers.

Moreover, her ancestors were five generations of marquises, and her father was a third-ranked scholar in the imperial examinations.

Born into a noble family, they naturally possess their own pride and arrogance.

But when facing Li Jingxiao, family background was of no use whatsoever. Not only was he a Duke, but the title was hereditary.

He earned his title through his own abilities, leading an army and fighting his way to victory.

Therefore, although Lin Daiyu was sensitive, she was somewhat resentful.

But when he bowed to Li Jingxiao, he was extremely proper and respectful.

She said, "Little sister Lin Daiyu greets cousin-in-law."

Thank you for the compliment, brother-in-law. I dare not accept such praise.

Li Jingxiao laughed and began to inquire about the recent situations of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu immediately realized that if she and her parents hadn't received a bottle of elixir, their health in the past two years might not have been as good as it is now.

He couldn't help but bow and thank Li Jingxiao again.

Li Jingxiao smiled and waved his hand, then began to inquire about Lin Daiyu's recent health.

Then I took her pulse again.

Because they are relatives, and the little girl is still young.

It's just taking pulses and treating illnesses, so there aren't many reservations.

After a moment, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but nod with a smile.

"Your body is fine, but at your age you are still growing, so you can't be picky about food, and you must remember not to overuse your eyes."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback, but fortunately she was clever and quickly understood the meaning of 'overuse of eyes'.

Her face flushed slightly, knowing that her cousin-in-law had noticed her and that she was always reading.

He also grew to admire Li Jingxiao's medical skills even more.

Then Li Jingxiao said, "You should wait at least an incense stick's time after a meal before drinking tea, so as to avoid insufficient qi and blood."

Lin Daiyu and Xueyan, who had served her since childhood, were both taken aback.

The secret is that he could tell I like to drink tea after meals just by taking my pulse?

Li Jingxiao noticed the girl's puzzled look.

He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Alright, there are some medical matters that I can't tell you too much about, brother-in-law."

If you have any doubts, go ask Jingxi.

After speaking, when he looked at Jingxi, a satisfied and praising smile appeared in Li Jingxiao's eyes.

Then he continued, "Jingxi is five or six years older than you. She has been learning medicine from me for three years and is already considered to have graduated."

If Cousin Lin is interested, she should consult Jingxi more often in the future.

Lin Daiyu quickly stood up and bowed to Jingxi.

She said, "Please, elder sister, take the trouble to teach me more."

Jingxi readily agreed, as she still quite liked Lin Daiyu.

Beautiful, polite, and quiet.

Compared to Jingrong, who is around the same age, she is simply the ideal model of a good younger sister.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingxiao decided to have Jingxi teach Lin Daiyu Zhenwu Changquan as well.

I don't aim to be super amazing, I just want to exercise more and stay healthy.

So that you won't grow up to be sickly and weak.

However, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min are still alive, and Lin Daiyu's situation has changed.

It was obvious that the little girl was not as cautious as she was in the original story.

He then wallowed in self-pity and self-deprecation.

As long as they grow up normally, their bodies won't be like the characters in the original story, coughing all night long in winter.

Seeing Li Jingxiao's generosity, Daiyu could sense the kindness her cousin-in-law had for her.

I immediately felt relieved.

Thinking back to the first time she met Jia Baoyu, she couldn't help but purse her lips and think to herself that her cousin Jia was just a willful and unruly child.

Moreover, according to my mother, my cousin's husband originally treated his two younger brothers equally.

The young master of the Qin family is well-behaved and sensible, and has always been taught and guided by his cousin-in-law.

It wasn't until after the Chinese New Year this year, when she was already seven years old, that she was finally sent back to the Qin family.

However, Bao Erge couldn't endure the hardships of martial arts training.

Every time his cousin wanted to take him to stay at the Duke of Xingguo's mansion for a while.

He either said he wasn't feeling well, or that he needed to study and didn't want to miss his lessons because of martial arts practice.

Not only did my mother feel sorry for him, but my father also hinted that my cousin was taking his good fortune for granted.

Pity.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Daiyu's impression of Jia Baoyu naturally became three points worse.

Yuan Chun took the opportunity to take out the letter Lin Ruhai had sent: "My lord, Uncle Lin has sent a letter, and my cousin has brought it over to give to you personally."

Li Jingxiao nodded and, amidst Lin Daiyu's nervousness, took it from Yuan Chun's hands.

After checking that the envelope was intact, he opened it and began to read.

After a short while, he smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. After I finish my business at Maoshan Demon Locking Tower and Dongting Dragon Palace tomorrow, I will go to Yangzhou to see Uncle Lin."

Yuan Chun and the others did not see anything wrong with what she said.

But when Lin Daiyu and Xueyan heard this, they felt a sudden tightness in their chests, followed by curiosity.

For them, the Demon-Sealing Tower and the Dragon Palace were just legendary places.

Just as I was thinking about how to ask a question without seeming abrupt.

Jing Rong jumped up: "Big brother, my birthday is in a few days. Will you take me to see the Dragon Palace?"

Li Jingxiao was stunned, and Jingxi and Jingyue immediately wanted to beat up Jingrong.

Then, a hint of resentment appeared in his gaze as he looked at Li Jingxiao.

If it weren't for her older brother's indulgence, she wouldn't be as unruly as she is now.

Compared to the Lin family's daughter, she didn't look like a proper young lady at all.

Unexpectedly, Li Jingxiao hesitated for only two seconds before nodding in agreement: "Okay, I'll take you to Maoshan tomorrow."

"Big brother has to attend to important matters; you stay obediently by the sect leader's side."

After saying that, Li Jingxiao smiled and continued, "Speaking of which, the thunder magic that your elder brother taught you mostly came from Maoshan."

The sect leader, Master Xuanming, is also a master of thunder magic. You should try to build a good relationship with that old Taoist priest and say some nice things about him.

"Maybe I'll teach you a lightning technique that even your elder brother hasn't learned."

Upon hearing this, Jing Rong immediately nodded repeatedly.

Jingxi and Jingyue stopped thinking about teaching Jingrong a lesson.

Qin Keqing, however, slapped Li Jingxiao's arm in an annoyed manner.

"My lord, you're setting a bad example for the child. What will you do when your little sister becomes unruly and lawless?"

Li Jingxiao waved his hand dismissively, saying, "You don't understand."

If I take my two younger sisters with me, those old Taoist priests will say that my Li family daughters are sensible and polite.

But I don't necessarily like it that much.

On the contrary, it was Third Sister's mischievous personality that won the favor of those old Taoist priests who were in their sixties, seventies, or even eighties and nineties.

Qin Keqing, Yuan Chun, and Wang Xifeng immediately understood that older people generally prefer lively grandchildren.

But Jingrong refused.

He grumbled angrily, "Brother, you're talking nonsense! I'm not some kind of monkey!"

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes at his younger sister.

Even when she had only learned a simplified version of "Divine Speed ​​and Hundred Transformations," the little girl would climb walls and roofs, being quite mischievous.

I have now mastered the basics of both "Lightning Thunder Fist" and "Palm Thunder".

The simplified version of the Divine Speed ​​Transformation skill is at least at the level of mastery.

They've become much bolder than before.

A while ago, he even secretly slipped out of the house with the purple-gold gourd.

I want to go to a house in the south of the city that is rumored to be haunted, and get rid of the evil spirits there.

Fortunately, the golden-armored warrior spotted them and secretly followed them, immediately notifying Li Jingxiao.
