The Otherworldly God

No one spoke along the way, even Le Zheng and Shui Ling followed quietly, but sometimes they couldn't help playing with the puddles on the road and the raindrops on the leaves, and when they saw them walking away, they would jog to catch up with them.

Le Zheng Qiming finally couldn't help but remind her with actions, and she just responded by sticking out her tongue playfully, but she was well behaved and didn't play around anymore.

Le Zheng Hongjun heard that Le Zheng Shuiling was a spoiled child. When the old man was alive, she was even more lawless and didn't care what anyone said. Even after the old man passed away, she still did her own thing.

Now it seems that she can restrain herself even if Le Zheng Qiming only reminds her with actions. He doesn't know whether the rumor is false or they are just the deep affection between senior and junior brothers. Le Zheng Hongjun is envious instead.

Le Zheng Hongjun led them to the front of the ancestral hall. The little boy took Le Zheng Hongjun's umbrella, and the other little boys took Le Zheng Yuhua and the others' umbrellas. Then the gatekeeper of the ancestral hall opened the door for them, and Le Zheng Hongjun led them inside.

As soon as they entered, the door was closed again. Unlike outside, there was an open space inside the ancestral hall, but there was no rain at all and the floor was dry.

The ground, paved with bluestone slabs, was spotless, as if no one had ever stepped on it.

After walking across the bluestone slabs and looking through the bamboo curtains, they saw the interior of the ancestral hall. Two women in white saw them coming and lifted the bamboo curtains as if to invite them in.

Le Zheng Hongjun was not as flustered as Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming, nor was he as ignorant and fearless as Le Zheng Yuhua. He just acted like a senior brother.

The bamboo curtain was slowly lowered, and the inside seemed like another world. This was also the reason why the bamboo curtain existed, and it was usually only lowered when discussing matters, to separate the inside from the outside.

The interior was very spacious, and there was no one sitting opposite, only countless tablets and altars. Looking at the things on the altars, it was enough to see that some kind of ceremony had been performed beforehand, such as worship.

The masters were sitting on both sides, and naturally Le Zhengzhi was among them. When he saw them, he almost stood up nervously, otherwise such an occasion would not allow it.

Seeing Le Zheng Hongjun kneeling down, Le Zheng Yuhua reacted quickly and knelt down immediately. While still in a daze, Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming followed suit and knelt down, then did the same as Le Zheng Hongjun.

"Master, Hongjun has brought three junior brothers and sisters here."

"Everyone, get up."

Le Zhengqin just glanced at them, his attitude still arrogant.

After Le Zhenghongjun stood up, the others stood up. Le Zhengbo said something to them, and four chairs appeared behind them.

"We are all family, sit down and talk."

"Master Xie Bo."

Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming glanced at each other sideways, and they were extremely panicked.

"Master Xie Bo."

The four people sat down in order, from left to right.

The chairs were nice, but Le Zheng Shui Ling and Le Zheng Qi Ming felt very uncomfortable.

"It is a special case to let you participate in the discussion today. After all, it concerns you. It is unreasonable to exclude you."

"The disciple understands."

Le Zhengfang nodded, approving of their reaction.

"I still stick to my opinion. It would be more appropriate for Hongjun to go for this invitation."

As soon as she heard the voice and tone, Le Zheng Shuiling knew without even looking that the person was Le Zheng Sihui, and sure enough, it was her.

Le Zhengqin tapped his hands gently on the table. There was something under his hands. They guessed it was the so-called invitation, but they didn't know who it was from.

"I agree with Master Sihui, but one of the invitations can be given to Hongjun, but the other one doesn't seem to be appropriate."

After hearing what Le Zhengzhi said, although Le Zheng Sihui did not refute it out loud, she disagreed in her heart.

When Le Zhengzhi saw Le Zheng Shuiling looking at him, he winked at her, but Le Zheng Shuiling was unable to help.

"What do you mean by one and the other? Anyway, it means there are two invitations. And the old witch wants the eldest senior brother to go, so what the master means is... he won't let us go, right? Isn't this going to cause trouble for us? Did he drink so early in the morning again?"

Le Zheng Shuiling looked over and saw that his cheeks were slightly red and he was smiling at her foolishly, which was enough to confirm that he was drunk.

"I don't know if Shui Ling understands what I mean. It seems that she does. We must fight for it. This opportunity is rare."

Le Zhengzhi, who knew which family the invitation came from and what was written inside, wanted very much to give them this opportunity, but Le Zheng Shuiling didn't know and thought it was just a pool of muddy water.

Besides, he didn't want to attend any social events, nor did he want to cause himself trouble because of meaningless social events, so he stood up.

"Reporting to the head of the family and all the masters, I don't know what invitation Shui Ling sent, nor do I know why she called me and my two brothers here. It is a great honor to be able to enter the ancestral hall to discuss matters, and I dare not ask for anything else."

"Do you mean you don't want to attend this banquet?"

Le Zhengqin asked again to confirm.

Le Zhengzhi knew that Le Zheng Shuiling was a person who changed his mind very quickly. He modestly said that he would not go, but once the other party asked him this, he would definitely change the subject and say that he would go. However, he almost fell off his chair because of what Le Zheng Shuiling said next.

"Yes, Patriarch. Shui Ling also thinks that Senior Brother Hongjun is the most suitable person to go."

"Is Master Zhi okay?"

Le Zhengli asked Le Zhengzhi in a low voice, and Le Zhengzhi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Girl, if you knew where the invitation came from, you would be so angry that you would die. It's a pity that Master has been fighting for you for a long time. I am so angry, I am really so angry."

Le Zhengfang waved her hand and asked Le Zheng Shuiling to sit down. She also knew that Le Zheng Shuiling said this because she was ignorant of the situation, otherwise she would have begged on her knees as soon as she entered the door.

"It's a good thing that you think so. However, Master Zhi and I agree that it is most appropriate for Hongjun to go to accept Elder Mu's invitation. But Miss Mu specifically mentioned the three of them. Wouldn't it disappoint Miss Mu if we don't go?"

This time it was Le Zheng Shui Ling who almost fell off the chair, luckily Le Zheng Qiming pulled her up.

"Master, is this what you want to tell me?" Le Zheng Shui Ling asked him with her eyes, and his expression clearly answered her that it was true. "Master, do you think I can read minds? How can I read that it is an invitation from the Mu Mansion? At least learn from Aunt Fang, didn't she tell us?"

Le Zheng Shuiling wanted to refute what she had just said, but the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back, so she could only keep silent.

Le Zheng Shui Ling's head was filled with regret, and she didn't notice the problem like Le Zheng Yu Hua and Le Zheng Qi Ming did. They didn't know Miss Mu, so why did she invite the three of them?

"Next time there is a chance, Qinchu will definitely invite you all to Huacheng for a gathering. Please be sure to honor us."

This is what Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Yuhua can most associate with, and it is also the direction of Le Zhengzhi's guess.
