The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 46: The End of the Playhouse

Often, a long build-up is essential for the thrill of the final moment.

Fortunately, Lü Buyi was not a person who was eager for quick success, so he always enjoyed laying the groundwork in this way.

Just like now—

In the twilight hours after school, the glorious and responsible teachers and seniors are, as always, fulfilling the duties that come with their roles.

Standing before the last successor of the Three Truths Dharma, who was so relaxed in front of himself that it seemed there was nothing to worry about.

Lu Buyi first took out some mid-quality magic talismans that he had casually crafted and handed them to Duan Xing before he began his body tempering, and whispered some instructions to him:

"This stack of talismans is to help you maintain your organs."

"Same as always, one a day. At least that will ensure you don't trip over a pebble on the roadside and die on the spot."

"Lu Chen" was not a talkative elder, so Lu Buyi only pretended to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside and said a few words.

Then the focus shifted to the other side, Saturday, which was sunny.

Compared to Duan Xinglian's taciturn nature, this girl was much more lively in his presence, after all, he wasn't her homeroom teacher.

Zhou Liuqing gave Lü Buyi a playful salute: "Sir, Private Zhou Liuqing reporting for duty."

"The original cultivation goal has been successfully achieved. Requesting support from subsequent cultivation methods—"

Lü Buyi sighed, and first tapped Duan Xinglian on the head with the deeper version of the "Three Truths Borrowing Treasures Method" he was holding.

Then it was gently placed on Zhou Liuqing's head.

"Take it, it was left behind by your grandmaster anyway..."

"Great! This way, when I reach the pinnacle of the Central Divine Power, I can easily beat up the Nanshan Nursing Home and kick the Beihai Kindergarten!"

They obtained the true teachings left behind by a great master who practiced the "Three True Treasures Borrowing Method".

Zhou Liuqing lightly picked up Duan Xinglian beside her and cheered softly.

"So, why did you have to hit me first before giving it to me?" Duan Xinglian muttered under his breath, but clearly no one paid any attention to his complaint.

He was actually quite happy himself.

He was happy that Zhou Liuqing could become stronger, and Zhou Liuqing was happy that she could protect him better.

But this beautiful scene, which one couldn't bear to interrupt, was actually a different sight in Lü Buyi's eyes.

Twisted and dark.

But he didn't say anything or disturb us.

But under Zhou Liuqing's heartbroken gaze, she opened another pack of cigarettes, which she thought was enough for their living expenses for a year.

He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left in Lü Buyi's hand was the cigarette butt.

Zhou Liuqing had always felt that this senior, who had a connection with Grandmaster Haoguang, was undoubtedly a good person.

Moreover... looking at the ring on Lü Buyi's left ring finger, its outline resembled a Three Truths Myriad Laws Sword.

Zhou Liuqing, who had occasionally listened to many short stories with Duan Xinglian, always felt sorry for the relationship between him and his deceased wife.

Sigh, good deeds don't always get rewarded.

It's their disregard for money that makes people want to condemn capitalists as utterly evil.

"Do you want it?"

Although he knew that Zhou Liuqing did not have such a bad habit, Lü Buyi still handed her the cigarette pack.

"You're setting a bad example for us younger generation—"

Even so, Zhou Liuqing still took out two sticks with lightning speed, amidst Duan Xinglian's helpless sigh.

Goodness...

As a high-end item in the world of supernatural powers, the thing in Lü Buyi's hand is incomparable to those that ordinary people smoke.

It takes twice the weight of gold to buy a single cigarette.

Hehe... I remember there are people outside who buy loose items at high prices, so I won't have to worry about living expenses for several months!

"Senior sister, is this really okay?" Duan Xinglian couldn't help but cough twice.

Only Lü Buyi didn't seem to notice Zhou Liuqing putting things into her pocket.

"Heh heh, Senior Lu is probably used to helping us out like this by now—"

Saturday, Qing made a peace sign.

Lu Buyi tacitly agreed to this; he really didn't want to catch those two secretly scraping the gold dust off the edge of his table while they were drinking tea again.

That thing was a gift from Ying Zheng when he ascended the throne, and it was quite valuable.

"Don't worry about these little things."

Lu Buyi lit another cigarette and replied, "Stop focusing on other things. It's better for you two to cultivate to the level of Great Divine Power than to feel embarrassed about anything."

"Senior has turned into a pressure monster again. But I can handle the cultivation stuff. After all, Xinglian isn't good at studying anyway. He just needs to know how to live off his wife—"

"Anyway, if I'm strong, Xing Lian is strong, and I'll protect him."

Considering Duan Xinglian's health, Zhou Liuqing genuinely wanted him to live off her for the rest of his life.

Duan Xinglian himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he was just that pessimistic right now.

"A degree in Great Divine Power? My senior sister is one thing, but I'm not even sure if I can possess an innate divine power, not to mention my physical condition..."

"You never know when something might happen, so Teacher Lü Chen, you'd better not have too high hopes for me."

Faced with the child's incurable pessimism, Lü Buyi could only sigh.

How can you cultivate yourself properly if you always have this kind of mentality?

How can you awaken your innate supernatural powers if you don't cultivate well?

If you can't awaken your innate supernatural power for a long time, and your senior sister hasn't been recognized, how can I see the scene I want to see?

Reaching out, Lü Buyi gently flicked Duan Xinglian's forehead, offering him a word of advice.

"As a seeker of the Dharma, if you don't even dare to aspire to or dream of a degree in great supernatural powers, then you shouldn't even mention seeking revenge against the Supreme One Hundred."

Sure enough, the mention of the Supreme Hundred People, their irreconcilable enemy, was enough to cause a stir.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Not only did Duan Xinglian clench his fists, but even Zhou Liuqing put away her usual frivolous manner.

Having achieved his goal, Lü Buyi stopped pressuring them.

"That's all I have to say. How you do it is up to you. After all, I'm not the one seeking revenge."

As soon as he finished speaking, another pack of cigarettes was gone.

Facing the setting sun, without saying much, Lü Buyi waved his hand and prepared to part ways with them.

"See you tomorrow--"

"Um, tomorrow is the weekend, Teacher Lü Chen," Duan Xinglian reminded her softly, snapping out of her daze.

"See you the day after tomorrow then."

"The day after tomorrow is a statutory holiday designated by the United Nations Legal Affairs Commission," Zhou Liuqing added.

Lu Buyi sighed, unsure of what to say to these two mood-breakers.

Therefore, in the end, he did not say goodbye.

He simply gave each of them a hard slap on the head, then walked alone down his own path "home".

Watching Lü Buyi's departing figure, Duan Xinglian and Zhou Liuqing, who were clutching their heads in pain, exchanged a glance.

They couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Let's go home—Xiao Xinglian, we found gold again today! Let's order takeout and have a big meal tonight!"

Zhou Liuqing took Duan Xinglian's hand and snapped her fingers with great energy.

"Even though it's not Crazy Thursday, can I still order a family bucket?" Duan Xinglian asked back.

"One bucket isn't enough! People will think we can't afford it. One bucket each!"

Saturday, with a lavish gesture, she was incredibly extravagant.

Then, amidst laughter and companionship, the two walked towards home.

The tranquility and happiness of such ordinary days were something the two of them had always longed for.

If I could, I really wish things could stay like this forever...

.

But can they really continue like this forever?

Obviously, the answer is no.

Because at this very moment, someone appeared at Lü Buyi's doorstep—

The white-suited man, who had been waiting for Vice-General Wanye for a long time, smiled as he was accompanied by a chattering little girl who seemed curious about everything.

He said, "How have you been?"

"Our strongest warrior, Vice Lord Wanye, is it fun playing house with the successor of the Three Truths Dharma?"
