The Otherworldly God
Chapter 32 The Undercurrent of Le Zheng
When Le Zheng Sihui returned to his residence, he became angrier the more he thought about it. When he saw the cup of tea brought by his apprentice, he just glanced at it and threw it to the ground.
The sound of the cup breaking when it fell to the ground frightened her apprentice so much that she fell to her knees with a plop. She was shaking all over and buried her head so low that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Le Zheng Ningsi came over and handed her a silk handkerchief, asking her to wipe the tea stains on her hands. He glanced at the poor teacup on the floor and said a few words to Le Zheng Sihui's apprentice.
"Pack up and go down quickly."
"Yes."
She didn't care whether the fragments would cut her hands or not. She took out her silk handkerchief and swept them away directly, then hunched over and retreated.
"I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I recruited such a useless disciple who couldn't learn any skills and was even worse than Ying'er."
"That's all because of my sister's magnanimity. Otherwise, with her qualifications, she would have been sent away long ago. Now she can still be called a Taoist son. What a blessing it is!"
"In the past, the maids who served beside me didn't know much about Taoist affairs and were very curious, asking questions all over the place. If you talked to them, it would be like talking to a deaf person and a waste of effort.
So later, I simply selected a few people like this. Now, in my courtyard, I don’t need any servants or maids.”
"Sister, this is the best way. It doesn't waste the Taoist resources, and it prevents the servants from gossiping. They don't know how to say things they shouldn't say, and if they are heard by someone with ulterior motives, it will be very bad.
As for Ying Er, sister, don't praise her too much. She may be good at talking, but she is just a Taoist who relies on the power of others and has no idea of her own limitations.
Sister, think about it, she is already 21 years old and has been under Le Zhengfang for some time. I am afraid that it is not her destiny for me to be a Taoist priest.”
Le Zheng Ningsi poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her. Le Zheng Sihui felt a little proud after hearing what she said.
She took a sip of tea and suddenly thought of Le Zhengying and Le Zhenghongjun. He was the first talent she had chosen. If no one had competed with her, how could Le Zhengqin have gotten him for nothing and let him take him back naturally? Adding to what happened just now, she became angrier and slammed the table and stood up.
"What do you think Le Zhengqin means? If it weren't for us, would he be qualified to be the head of the family?"
Le Zheng Ningsi quickly stood up and comforted her and sat her down.
"My dear sister, walls have ears. You are not afraid of others listening."
When Le Zheng Sihui heard her say this, she laughed amusingly.
"Sister Ning Si, please stop making me laugh. When you stepped through the door, a barrier was set up. Don't think I didn't know."
Le Zhengning pursed his lips and smiled.
"Sister Sihui really has a keen eye."
"I have to be more careful with other people's enchantments. Your enchantment is second to none in our Lezheng, but no one dares to claim to be first. Even in the Dao League, it ranks high."
"Sister Sihui, you are too kind."
Looking at Le Zhengqingfeng who was sitting quietly opposite her and drinking tea, Le Zheng Sihui couldn't help but say to him: "My dear brother, look at you, why can't you say a few nice words to comfort me?"
"Isn't Junior Sister Ning Si here?"
Le Zheng Sihui couldn't help but sigh.
"You are my real brother."
"I really can't imagine how my senior brother coaxes people." Le Zheng Ningsi smiled and picked up the kettle, poured her another cup of water, and said: "I didn't drink the hot tea just now. Next time I will ask my apprentice to bring a pack of good tea over, and I will be relieved."
Le Zheng Sihui picked up the cup and put it down again.
"Be at ease? How can we be at ease? Tell me, are we shooting ourselves in the foot? We did everything we could to get Le Zhengqin to the position of the head of the family. We thought he was the best candidate and a puppet that is easy to control, but now... If he makes me angry one day, don't blame me for treating him like I treated Le Zhenghe."
"Hush, my dear sister, let's forget about the former head of the family, okay?"
"If you want to see the person alive or dead, you must find the body. Le Zhenghe's body has not been found yet. Aren't you afraid that he will come back?"
"We are upright, so what if we come back? Everyone knows that he went to the Black Forest to find his disciples. What kind of place is the Black Forest? There have been many powerful Taoists who got lost in the Black Forest over the past thousand years. The Taoist Alliance had already issued a ban, but he went in on his own. How can we blame others?"
"As expected, I am as calm as Ning Si. However... I recently heard a rumor that the Dao Alliance might take action against Hei Lin. Also, how can we allow such a place to exist in our own home? It might take him ten years to get in. Who can guarantee that he won't take advantage of this opportunity and be found?"
"If you find it, then find it. Didn't sister tell you? I want to see the body if it's alive or dead. Then sister won't have to worry about it for nothing."
"That's true. What was impossible ten years ago is not so easy to do now. However, we can ignore the owner's affairs for now. Are you really going to hand over the Heavenly Sword to a young boy like this?"
"Whether it is the Heavenly Sword is still unknown."
Le Zheng Ningsi and Le Zheng Sihui glanced at Le Zheng Qingfeng, who raised his glass as if in a toast and smiled.
"Even if it is suspected, it must be suspected in our hands."
"Think about it from another perspective. This thing probably didn't fall into the hands of Le Zhengqin or Le Zhengfang, but into the hands of a child. It seems easier to control."
After listening to this, Le Zheng Sihui nodded in agreement, but when she thought of the time when Le Zheng Shuiling talked back to her, she couldn't help but shook her head.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy for this kid to take control."
"If he can't escape the fate of being an apprentice Taoist, then he can only let his family control him. Isn't it easy to get the Heavenly Sword?"
"But how can we prevent him from being destined to be a Taoist apprentice?"
"Sister, you are being silly, aren't you? Who do you think would dare to accept him as a disciple? An apprentice Taoist without a master cannot become an intern Taoist even if he passes the assessment, let alone a Taoist?"
"Yes, it's not appropriate for a little Taoist apprentice to hold the Heavenly Sword. Sister Ning Si must keep a close eye on him and don't let any master take him in, especially those two... and that wild girl Le Zheng Shui Ling.
In the past, the old man was around, and the clan members respected him and indulged the wild girl. Now that the old man is gone, with the little honor his family has, they can't tolerate her being presumptuous. "
“Don’t worry, sister. Lord Fang will definitely not accept him or her. As for our acting head of the family, he won’t ask for it even if he wants to.
This Heavenly Sword was lost from his hands once, and people had long been saying that he had given it to him on purpose, saying that he had secretly planned it, so that if he took it, he would have a legitimate reason to hold the Heavenly Sword in his hands, and he even lied clumsily about using the sword to look for its master.
So, how could he, who values reputation so much, confirm this rumor? I am worried about the other masters. Although they don’t take the legend of the Heavenly Sword seriously, their temperaments are unpredictable. Who knows, they might accept him as their own.”
"It's hard to predict their personalities. From what I know about them, they will never get involved in this. If they dare to take it, I, Sihui, also have a way to make them hand over the sword obediently. By then, I'm afraid that Le Zheng Yuhua will not be able to stay here."
Le Zheng Qingfeng put down his teacup, deliberately making a loud noise, and then stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he reminded them without turning his head: "No matter how noisy you are in Le Zheng, it is our private business after all. Remember to be sensible."
