Chapter 111 Lu Li's Pursuit of Life
Chapter 111 Lu Li's Pursuit of Life
"puff--"
Bai Heng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle, his shoulders shrug.
Even the usually aloof Danfeng had a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Ying Xing's face instantly darkened.
He stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at Lu Li.
"Lu Li! What did you say?!"
"I'm telling you," [Lu Li] swirled his wine glass, looking completely innocent, "you're the kind of person who's all talk and no action."
"They say they're not willing, but their actions tell a different story."
He pointed to the brand-new sword at Yingxing's waist.
"Wasn't this sword something you spent seven days and seven nights crafting specifically for Jing Yuan?"
"I've heard that you almost sold your workshop in search of that piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron."
"you……!"
Yingxing's face flushed red instantly, like a child whose secret had been exposed in public, stammering and unable to utter a word for a long time.
"I...I was testing new materials! It has nothing to do with this kid!"
"Oh—" [Lu Li] drawled, "So that's how it is."
"That's perfect. My knife's gotten dull too. Could you help me 'test' the new material sometime?"
"Get lost! And what you're doing, is that a knife? It's more like a fire poker."
"I have no intention of sharpening a ruler that's harder than meteorite iron!"
Yingxing, who had yelled angrily but whose ears were red, looked embarrassed.
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Even Jingliu's expression softened slightly.
Seeing this, March 7th's eyes lit up on the Starry Sky Train.
"Wow! So the Five Heroes of the Clouds really do have a close relationship like the rumors say."
Hoshino nodded in deep agreement: "Their relationship is really good, and I even feel that the word 'family' is more appropriate to describe it than 'partners'."
As for Lu Li himself.
Yes, I've completely given up thinking at this point.
Looking at himself in the sky, arguing with Ren... no, with Ying Xing, he felt a sharp pain in his teeth.
Dude, are you really that unconventional?
They even dare to flirt with future Star Core Hunters?
Aren't you afraid that he'll remember this later and come looking for you with that "dismembered sword" to settle scores?
Just thinking about that scene sent a chill down Lu Liguang's spine.
Just as Lu Li was lost in thought, the drinking party in the sky had already entered the next stage.
Bai Heng raised his wine glass and leaned close to Jing Liu, grinning, "Jing Liu, try this 'Snow Soul Ice Wine,' it's a new wine from Luofu."
"It's sweet and not spicy at all, making it perfect for girls."
Jingliu glanced at her, then at the clear liquid in the glass.
In the end, I only took a small sip.
"Hmm, not bad." She gave a rare positive evaluation.
Bai Heng was immediately as happy as a child, and then turned around to pester Dan Feng.
"Danfeng, Danfeng, you should try some! Stop drinking your awfully bitter tea all the time!"
Danfeng glanced at her, then at the teacup in front of him.
In the end, he reluctantly picked up his wine glass.
Jing Yuan, who was standing to the side, also raised his wine cup and looked at Lu Li with a grin: "Brother Lu, Master is in a good mood today and didn't punish me by making me copy the sword manual. This cup is for you."
Lu Li leaned back lazily in his chair, toying with a white jade wine cup in his hand, and replied casually, "Why are you toasting me?"
"You should pay tribute to Brother Yingxing, who always has a sour face but runs away faster than anyone else when he hears you're going to drink."
Seeing that Lu Li had pulled him out to shield him from the bullet again.
Ying Xing slammed down his wine glass and said sternly, "Who ran faster than whom? I was dragged here by Bai Heng!"
"Oh?" Lu Li drawled, turning to look at Yin Yuejun beside him. "Danfeng, you're my witness, didn't he walk to the door by himself today?"
Sitting at the head of the table, Danfeng had a refined and elegant appearance. After taking a sip of wine, her tone remained completely flat: "He said he was tired from blacksmithing and needed to numb his rough nerves with alcohol."
Ying Xing was furious that Dan Feng had so readily contradicted him: "Dan Feng, you scoundrel, don't talk nonsense!"
"Long, long worm..."
Bai Heng chuckled to himself.
Jingliu sat on the edge, holding his sword, a smile playing on his lips.
This joyous scene was witnessed by everyone outside the canopy, and it stirred up a great wave in the hearts of those who truly understood history.
The Immortal Boat of Luofu, the Divine Strategy Palace.
Yanqing stared wide-eyed, completely unable to comprehend it.
Any one of these people could be a big shot who could make the Immortal Ship tremble, yet they acted like such a lowly rogue in the tavern.
Danfeng, who is called the Long Worm, is none other than the incomparably noble Lord Yinyue!
There's also General Jingyuan's youthful naiveté, and the tacit approval of the previous generation's sword master...
These images completely overturned his understanding.
But that Yingxing...
Yanqing frowned slightly.
I have a feeling that I've seen him somewhere before.
And just recently...
But the most crucial person is Lu Li.
Who exactly is he?
Although recently, due to the sky cover, the internet is full of news related to Lu Li.
But he was certain he had never heard the name Lu Li before in Luofu.
But he was an unknown person.
Not only can he treat these unruly geniuses and strongmen as equals, but he can also tease and joke with them at any time.
Are the images on the sky fake?
Or……
Yanqing silently looked at Jingyuan by the window in front of her.
Jing Yuan stared blankly at the scene in the sky.
In the sky.
Although Yingxing was still arguing with Baiheng, he silently helped Baiheng, who couldn't hold his liquor, by drinking several glasses of wine for him.
Danfeng didn't say much; he just sat there quietly, occasionally refilling everyone's drinks.
Jingliu was much more relaxed than usual, and even a faint smile appeared on his usually aloof face.
There are also Lu Li and Bai Heng.
Wherever they are, even the most tense boundaries will disappear.
He was the most unreliable of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, yet the most indispensable.
The six of them have very different personalities and backgrounds.
Yet, this small table created an incredibly harmonious scene.
Therefore, that period was the most carefree and dazzling time of their lives.
"So we were so vibrant back then," Jingyuan murmured.
but now……
……
Imprisoned in jail.
Blade stared intently at the sky, and his previously agitated demonic body miraculously calmed down for a moment.
A suppressed, wild growl escaped his throat: "Lu Li..."
In the depths of his memory, that man once patted him on the shoulder and mocked him for using a sword that was too heavy, only suitable for chopping wood.
These distant memories surged up at this moment, becoming an even sharper knife scraping against his bones.
……
The image on the sky changed again.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
The atmosphere at the Nightless City grew increasingly lively.
Bai Heng's face was flushed from drinking, and he grabbed Jing Yuan's arm, insisting on playing a drinking game with him.
"Three stars shine! Four joys bring wealth! Five stars bring the top honor! Six six six!"
"Bai Heng, drink slowly." Jing Yuan looked at her helplessly from the side.
Meanwhile, the "war" between Yingxing and Luli has also reached a fever pitch.
"Lu Li, let me tell you, the kind of lazy bum I despise the most in my life is someone like you!" Ying Xing said, his tongue slurring as he held his wine bowl.
"All you do is fish and drink all day. Don't you have any ambition in life?"
"Pursue?"
Lu Li put down his wine glass and smiled. "I have ambitions."
"My pursuit in life is—not to pursue anything."
