Chapter 380 What good is it to you?
Zhongli Yueluo seemed to suddenly remember something and chased after them.
The crowd was left there watching his retreating figure, and then looking at their own sweaty hands.
She headed towards the direction where the Fire Lord resided. Currently, only two of the five lords have been found, and the remaining three remain a mystery.
In order to make her path smoother later on, she needs to get at least some firsthand information.
Knowing at least which of the Five Gentlemen would be the next lecturer would allow her to plan ahead.
Just as I reached the door of her residence, I heard a series of "bang bang bang!" sounds, which must have been Su Nianhui practicing her fireball technique.
Perhaps it sensed an unfamiliar presence outside the door, or perhaps it knew she was coming.
The word "enter" echoed in my mind, and flames burned on the barrier at the entrance, then slowly faded away.
The smell of barbecue was wafting from inside!
So you left the classroom early just to come back and sneak a bite, right?
He walked in and saw several people sitting there, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, but there were barriers between them, as if they were guarding against something.
She knew Water Spirit and Fire Spirit, but the remaining three were completely unknown to her.
A child, an old man with gray hair, and a man in a wheelchair.
By observing the color emanating from their bodies, one can roughly determine their attributes.
Those who can sit at the same table and drink with the two gentlemen of water and fire must be extraordinary people.
Zhongli Yuelu guessed that it should be the remaining three people.
"Yueluo, what are you doing here?"
It was that old man, Shui Jun, who spoke up; he never gave her a kind look.
“If you don’t let me in, I can’t get in either. Yue Luo greets Lord Jin, Lord Mu, and Lord Tu.”
The men paused slightly, looking at the young girl before them with a sense of admiration.
Flames shimmered in the Fire Lord's hands: "Speak, what brings you here?"
"I originally came to see you, Lord Huo, but seeing that the three of you are all there, I decided to come and see them instead."
Zhongli Yueluo spoke sincerely, after all, the little tricks she was playing now probably wouldn't fool these old monsters.
The disabled man in the wheelchair slightly raised his eyes: "Is she that person?"
The child suddenly threw out a lump of roasted meat, which Zhongli Yueluo caught; it was still a little hot.
"I am quite flattered by your gifts."
He didn't back down, but took two steps forward; there was clearly an empty spot there.
I don't know if it was left for Su Nian or for her.
"Come and sit down. It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Whether we meet sooner or later, the result will be the same."
Huo Jun spoke in a very profound way from the very first time they met. Zhongli Yueluo seemed to understand him, but she didn't quite understand him.
Zhongli Yueluo glanced at the child, surprised that he had such profound cultivation at such a young age.
To be able to sit in Mu Jun's position, one must have some extraordinary abilities.
"I am nothing but a jinx. All the power of the family is concentrated in my hands, so I am called Wu Gu."
Although he looks like a child, he speaks with great maturity, and his eyes seem to have been filled with the wisdom of thousands of years.
Then I looked at the disabled man in the wheelchair next to me; he radiated a warm glow.
“I was born with a disability. I am Tu Jun, Wu Can.”
They are easier to get along with than I imagined. They truly are of the Earth element, the center of the universe's energy.
Finally, look at that head of white hair; he's the oldest among them, and he always has his eyes closed.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the man's eyes were shining with golden light. Without a doubt, this was Jin Jun.
"My name is Wu Du. I'm not very capable, but I'm rich."
Zhongli Yueluo nodded, surprised that the old man was actually quite funny.
Huo Jun watched them introduce themselves one by one, then focused on adding a plate of meat to his plate.
"Speak, little girl, what is it?"
Zhongli Yueluo stood up very solemnly and performed a deep kneeling bow to everyone.
"I believe you are all people who have glimpsed the secrets of heaven. You cannot speak of them, but I can."
She is not bound by the laws of heaven and earth, which can be described as a loophole in the world.
Zhongli Yueluo did not elaborate on the future, but only analyzed the current situation.
"I want you all to choose the person I have chosen as my successor!"
The group exchanged a knowing smile, thinking that this little girl had quite the nerve to talk back to them.
Why should we do as you say?
Zhongli Yueluo smiled calmly, and even picked up the teapot on the table to pour herself some tea.
"Gentlemen, your sudden emergence from seclusion to seek a successor suggests that you may be nearing the end of your lives, right?"
As if Zhongli Yueluo had touched on something, the group exchanged glances before regaining their composure.
This little girl seems to be truly destined for us, and they do indeed have certain bottlenecks to overcome.
If there is no heir, the Zheng clan will surely fall into chaos, and war will break out everywhere, causing widespread suffering to the people.
"So what if it's really as you say? Why should we listen to you?" Mu Jun asked again.
"Listen to me, there's bound to be some benefit even if there are many harms, and the people I've chosen are all from prominent families."
Hearing this, their brows relaxed somewhat; they were already dissatisfied with the fact that the two men, Shui and Huo, had chosen someone from another race.
Now, Zhongli Yueluo has chosen members from their own aristocratic families, which makes more sense.
"Explain in detail," Jin Jun said, tapping the table.
Zhongli Yueluo stood up respectfully, bent down and poured a cup of tea for each of them, it seemed they really were going to have a heart-to-heart talk.
“Jin Jun, the one whose attributes match yours is Yan Jin Yi from the Yan family. Although that kid is a bit eccentric, his abilities are definitely not a problem.”
Jin Jun took a sip of tea, pondering. He had no recollection of it, had never seen it before, and knew nothing about it.
Mu Jun's eyes sparkled: "What about mine?"
Zhongli Yueluo smiled gently: "Qianqiu Chang'an, the eldest son of the Qianqiu Clan, is a gentle and refined gentleman."
Tu Jun stroked the teacup, waiting for Zhongli Yueluo to tell him the answer, to see if it matched the person he had in mind.
"Tu Jun, Chang Yu Chang Yu Mu Ling, is honest, simple, innocent and kind, which best matches him."
Tu Jun nodded, realizing that it was the same person he was thinking of. He wouldn't agree if it were Chang Yu Xuanyuan.
"Then I'd like to know what benefits you get from recommending a few people?" Shui Jun stroked his long eyebrows, his eyes half-closed.
This is probably what the others also want to know.
"The benefits to me are not apparent now, but they will be very beneficial in the future."
The guests exchanged smiles, then raised their teacups and toasted each other. Zhongli Yueluo also joined their banquet.
Zhongli Yueluo did not leave the banquet until nightfall.
When Su Nian returned, all that remained was a mess on the table. He clenched his fists and exclaimed, "Fire Lord!"
"Disciple, you pack up, your master is going to rest."
Zhongli Yueluo was stopped by Yan Ruoyu halfway there.
