Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

Lu Lin also called out "Uncle Gao".

Gao Lian's arrival caused a small stir in the Lu family.

Many of the strange people in the courtyard came over to say hello.

After all, besides being the head of the Gao family, one of the four major families, he was also the head of the Northeast region of Na Du Tong, representing the official face, so naturally he had to be taken seriously.

"Mr. Gao, you've come in person too!"

"Master Gao, you must be tired from your journey!"

"I was very grateful for Mr. Gao's help when I was in Northeast China last time, but I never had the chance to thank him in person."

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Don't mind me, I'm just here to join in the fun."

Gao Lian returned the greeting with a clasped fist and a polite smile.

Just then.

A commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the courtyard.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Wang Ai and Lü Ci, who were also members of the Ten Elders.

The two arrived in the same car.

Lu Ci got out of the car first. He was lean, with silver hair and a scar running diagonally down his forehead. He had a fierce, wolf-like aura. Beside him was a short, bespectacled boy.

Wang Ai also got out of the car. His white hair and beard were neatly combed, and he looked wealthy and elegant. Beside him was a young man with an arrogant face.

The boy would glance at Lü Ci every now and then, then deliberately puff out his chest, trying to imitate Lü Ci's expression and mannerisms.

Upon seeing the two, Lu Jin went to greet them.

Although Lu Jin, Wang Ai, and Lü Ci had some disagreements on certain matters, their families were old friends and they had grown up together, so their relationship wasn't actually bad.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Ai and Lü Ci's gazes fell on Li Chang'an.

Lu Jin's disciples, including Lu Lin, all knew about him and had even met him more than once.

They had heard of Li Chang'an over the past few years, but had never met him.

They hadn't taken it seriously before, after all, he had been learning from Lu Jin for several years and still hadn't mastered the art of reversing life. They thought this kid was inferior to Lu Lin and not worth worrying about.

But looking at it now, putting everything else aside, its appearance alone is quite remarkable.

Lü Ci and Wang Ai exchanged a glance.

Two friends who have been friends for a century understood each other's thoughts at a single glance.

“It looks like it!” Lü Ci said.

"It's so similar!" Wang Ai nodded.

“What does it look like?” Lu Jin asked.

Wang Ai looked at Li Chang'an and said with a smile:

"Old Lu, the disciple you've found truly possesses the unparalleled demeanor of the legendary Immortal Da Ying. It seems that your San Yi Sect is about to produce another immortal."

He didn't mention the Lu family, but rather the Sanyi Sect. If someone were a deep thinker, they would surely be able to figure out the meaning behind his words.

But Lu Jin didn't care, because he took Li Chang'an as his disciple for the sake of the Sanyi Sect.

Lu Ci looked at Li Chang'an, who had just thought the same thing as Wang Ai.

They had all witnessed the magnificence of the Great Ying Immortal.

Lu Jin's disciple does indeed resemble him somewhat.

Is this old man following the master's template when accepting disciples?

Lu Jin laughed and said, "This kid is far from being worthy of the title of immortal."

"Whether he can shoulder the responsibility or not depends on his methods. At this banquet, you must let him show off his skills and broaden our horizons!"

Lü Ci looked at Li Chang'an: "Kid, are you feeling any pressure?"

"What kind of pressure?" Li Chang'an asked in return.

“If your master doesn’t perform well after putting on such a grand show, it would be quite embarrassing,” Lü Ci said.

"Then I'll try my best."

"You're very confident. Speaking of which, Lu Jin is just as confident as you, which is why there are quite a few skilled people among the people who came this time."

As he spoke, Lü Ci glanced at Lu Jin with a half-smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Jin was very sensitive to this and immediately asked back.

Lü Ci laughed heartily: "When people get old, they just love to reminisce. I suddenly remembered some interesting things from the past."

"Thinking about it is not allowed, and even thinking about it is problematic." Lu Jin frowned and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Chapter 73 Wang Ai's Scheme

"Hahaha……"

Lü Ci burst into laughter.

He thought that if Lu Jin's apprentice could recreate the scene Lu Jin had witnessed back then, the master and apprentice would be considered a legendary tale in the industry.

Of course, he only thought these words to himself and wouldn't say them out loud.

He's just a little crazy, but not stupid.

If I say this now, that old bastard Lu Jin will definitely turn on me.

Although he wasn't afraid of Lu Jin, there was no need for him to undermine her in this situation.

After all, he and Lu Jin were childhood friends.

Although they were childhood friends who didn't get along very well.

But that was only in terms of his style of doing things; he still approved of Lu Jin's character.

Wang Ai glanced at Lü Ci and thought to herself, "The hedgehog still likes to tease Lu Jin."

But he wouldn't dare do something like that.

Lu Jin, that old bastard, looks respectable and polite, but he has a terrible temper.

He suffered losses when he was a child.

At this moment, Wang Ai saw Gao Lian beside him and smiled:

"Xiao Gao is here too, what a coincidence!"

Gao Lian clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Lord Lü, how have you been?"

"It's alright," Lü Ci said.

"My health is getting worse every day," Wang Ai said with a smile.

Gao Lian laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, you're too modest. Look at your radiant face and confident demeanor; even the tigers in our area would give you a wide berth."

Wang Ai laughed and said, "Someone like me who uses a pen is no match for them. By the way, Xiao Gao, did your Aunt Guan come this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci and Lu Jin, one on the left and one on the right, although they did not turn their heads to look, simultaneously glanced sideways at Wang Ai.

Li Chang'an inexplicably saw a kind of comical emoji on the faces of these two old men.

He also looked at Wang Ai and saw a hint of youthful anticipation on that old face.

Gao Lian smiled and said, "My aunt has difficulty walking, so she couldn't come in person this time. She asked me to deliver the gift on her behalf."

"Difficulty walking?"

Wang Ai opened her small eyes slightly and then said, "The Northeast is such a cold place, the weather is too cold. It's really tough for older people to stay there, and they're prone to leg problems. But haven't they all been covered by heating in recent years? Hasn't that been arranged?"

Gao Lian smiled awkwardly and said, "I've made arrangements, but my aunt is a bit restless and keeps going to Changbai Mountain. After a while, she gets a little tired."

Wang Ai nodded: "That's true. Being a disciple of the top incense burner is indeed not easy. They're ordered around by those beasts, and at their age they still have to run to Changbai Mountain. Back then, I said I wanted to..."

"Hmm." Lu Jin coughed.

Wang Ai glanced at him and didn't continue speaking.

Gao Lian broke out in a cold sweat. There were very few people in the entire circle of extraordinary people who dared to call immortals beasts.

He was secretly relieved that he had anticipated running into this man, so he hadn't brought Hu Tianbiao, or Boss Biao, along. If Boss Biao had been here...

But then I thought, even if Master Biao were here, it wouldn't make a difference. Faced with this guy's methods, Master Biao would become a fool too.

Li Chang'an was somewhat surprised by Wang Ai's behavior just now.

Those words just now didn't sound like something someone as thoughtful as Wang Ai would say.

But in reality, this was something Wang Ai did intentionally.

He knew that Gao Lian was a top disciple and always had a personal messenger with him.

"Close-fitting messenger" is a term used in the shamanic tradition, referring to a guardian deity who hides in acupoints and is never far from the person, acting as a bodyguard and messenger.

There are usually one to five such spirits, and most of them are not of high generation.

Senior deities must reside at the altar and cannot be with their disciples at all times.

They are usually only activated when disciples ask them to help with something that the minor deities cannot resolve.

Furthermore, if a disciple is killed, the personal messenger will immediately return to the temple to report and ask the great immortal to seek revenge.

Wang Ai could naturally see the several messenger spirits hidden in Gao Lian's acupoints. Although they weren't exactly old immortals, they were still capable of relaying messages.

There's a high chance that what he just said will reach Guan Shihua's ears.

At the same time, he also wanted to give Gao Lian a warning.

Since becoming the head of the Northeast region, Gao Lian has turned down many events from the four companies due to his official position.

Wang Ai wanted to tell him not to think that just because he had learned some shamanic arts and gotten a government job, he could act arrogantly in front of the older generation.

Gao Lian smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, being a disciple of the top incense burner is actually not bad. You have to find a master. The immortals are simple-minded and have fewer rules than people in the circle, so it's easier to get along with them."

"I know, I know."

Wang Ai smiled, walked over and patted Gao Lian on the shoulder, saying earnestly:

"Xiao Gao, don't take it to heart. Our families have been friends for over a thousand years, I'm definitely trying to do what's best for you."

"I've heard that once you encounter spirits, you can't shake them off; they'll follow your descendants generation after generation. Do you intend to make spirit mediumship a family tradition of the Gao family?"

Gao Lian laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, you're overthinking it. It's not that. It's just my personal choice. Spirit mediums are all about fate. Reputable spirit mediums with proper altars wouldn't do this."

Wang Ai smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I don't know your methods. But I'm saying these things because I treat you like my own son."

"If you encounter any problems in this area, or if there's anything you can't handle, come to me, and I'll take care of it for you."

Wang Ai's words clearly had the intention of sowing discord.

If Gao Lian didn't have a personal bodyguard with him, he could easily feign compliance, saying one thing to one person and another to another, and get away with it.

However, he was accompanied by a personal messenger, and most of the immortals were straightforward and couldn't understand these intricacies. If he said something wrong, he might end up arguing with Master Biao when he got back.

But Wang Ai's words were truly heartfelt.

As a junior, he couldn't afford to turn against them.

Of course, if someone who has trained in horsemanship were to turn against Wang Ai, they would only be inviting humiliation.

Gao Lian finally understood why his great-aunt shook her head so vehemently when she heard about entering the pass.

Being caught between saying it and not saying it, Gao Lian could only force a smile.

Li Chang'an watched this scene without delving too deeply into the meaning behind Wang Ai's words.

He abandoned his desire to gossip about the older generation and focused on himself.

At this moment, Wang Bing, who was standing next to Wang Ai, suddenly said:

"Grandpa, what are we waiting for? Let's go in. I heard that Grandpa Lu has arranged a lot of exciting programs this time."

With her beloved grandson speaking, Wang Ai lost interest in reprimanding Gao Lian and said with a smile:

"The program can only be watched after the ceremony."

Wang Bing looked at Lu Jin: "Grandpa Lu, when is the ceremony?"
