Chapter 214 Li Tian's hesitation between Xixia Princess and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthe
Li Tian looked at Li Qiushui with interest: "Oh? What are your conditions? Tell me."
Li Qiushui pondered for a moment and said, "First, you have to ensure my status and safety in Lingjiu Palace, and not let my senior sister bully me at will."
Li Tian smiled slightly: "Li Qiushui, you have a good plan. However, as long as you hand Li Qinglu over to me, I can agree to your conditions."
Li Qiushui gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Li Tian, I hope you keep your word. I will arrange a meeting between you and Qinglu right away, but you must remember that if you dare to break your promise, I, Li Qiushui, will never let it go."
Li Tian nodded. If he got Li Qinglu, he would get rewards from the system, and perhaps his strength would increase further.
After Li Qiu Shui returned to Xixia, she began to carefully arrange the meeting between Li Tian and Li Qinglu.
She first told Li Qinglu about the power of Lingjiu Palace and Li Tian's extraordinary abilities in the Xixia court, portraying Li Tian as a hero.
Li Qinglu was already full of curiosity about the legendary figures in the martial arts world. After hearing what Li Qiushui said, she also felt a little curious about Li Tian.
Under Li Qiu Shui's arrangement, a grand banquet was held in the Xixia court, and many dignitaries and people from the underworld were invited.
Li Tian was also among the invited guests. He was dressed in a gorgeous robe and had an extraordinary temperament. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
When Li Qinglu saw Li Tian in the crowd, her heart couldn't help but move.
She was fascinated by Li Tian's handsomeness and the mysterious aura he exuded.
Li Tian also noticed Li Qinglu. He walked up to her and greeted her politely.
The two began to talk, and Li Tian told Li Qinglu some interesting stories in the martial arts world, as well as his understanding of the way of martial arts.
Li Qinglu listened with great interest. She was impressed by Li Tian's profound knowledge and unique insights.
As the communication deepened, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
However, their relationship was not smooth sailing.
When the Child-like Grandma of Tianshan learned about the deal between Li Tian and Li Qiushui, she was very dissatisfied.
She was worried that Li Tian would ignore the interests of Lingjiu Palace because of the Princess of Xixia, and might even be used by Li Qiu Shui.
The more Tianshan Tonglao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She felt that she could not just sit back and watch the transaction between Li Tian and Li Qiushui go smoothly, especially since Li Tian might change his attitude towards Lingjiu Palace because of the Princess of Xixia.
Therefore, she decided to consult with Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum again.
The Child-Father of Tianshan summoned plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum to her room.
She said with a serious look: "Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, do you know about the deal between Li Tian and Li Qiushui? He actually wants to get the Princess of Xixia. This is no small matter."
The four of them looked at each other, and Mei Jian said, "Grandma, we have heard about this, but what can we do? The Palace Master seems to have made up his mind."
Tianshan Child-Granny snorted coldly: "Humph, we can't let him succeed so easily. I see that Li Tian seems to have other thoughts about you. Are you willing to consider the interests of Lingjiu Palace and play a role by his side?"
Zhu Jian asked doubtfully, "Grandma, do you mean... that we should approach the Palace Master?"
Tianshan Tonglao nodded slightly: "Yes, if you can become Li Tian's woman, perhaps you can stay by his side and influence him, so that he will not be completely controlled by Li Qiushui and Princess Xixia, and always remind him of the importance of Lingjiu Palace. Moreover, you can also take this opportunity to seek a better position and future for yourself."
Ju Jian said reluctantly: "But grandma, we have already rejected the palace master's request to sleep with us, and now we want..."
Tianshan Tonglao interrupted her: "This is a different time. Before, Li Tian forced you to do it. Now if you take the initiative, the nature of the matter will be different. You must understand that the rise and fall of Lingjiu Palace is closely related to each of us."
Lan Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Grandma, we understand. For the sake of Lingjiu Palace, we are willing to try. But we don't know how to do it."
Tianshan Tonglao smiled and said, "You just need to get closer to Li Tian and show your gentleness and consideration. When he is practicing or handling affairs, take good care of him. You can also occasionally ask him some questions about cultivation or martial arts to enhance mutual communication."
Although the four were still somewhat worried, they decided to follow the arrangements of the Child-Fairy of Tianshan for the sake of Lingjiu Palace.
In the following days, Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum began to approach Li Tian intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Tian didn't care too much at first. He just thought that they listened to what he said before and began to accept him slowly.
One day, Li Tian was practicing magic in the courtyard.
Mei Jian came over with a cup of tea and said softly, "Palace Master, you have worked hard in training. Have a cup of tea and take a rest."
Li Tian took the tea and said with a smile: "Thank you Mei Jian, you are so thoughtful."
Mei Jian took the opportunity to say, "Palace Master, I have always been interested in the immortal method you practice. Can you tell me the secrets behind it?"
Li Tian began to patiently explain to her some basic principles of immortal techniques and the experience of practicing them.
Mei Jian listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time, and their communication gradually increased.
Another time, Li Tian was handling the affairs of Lingjiu Palace in the study, and Zhu Jian and Ju Jian walked in with some snacks in their hands.
Zhu Jian said, "Palace Master, you have been busy for so long, please have some snacks. These are all made by us."
Li Tian took a bite and nodded in praise: "It tastes good. Your cooking skills are really good."
Ju Jian smiled and said, "As long as the Palace Master likes it. We see that you have been working so hard for Lingjiu Palace, and we hope to do what we can for you."
During the communication with them, Li Tian also felt the changes in the four people, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
He was somewhat confused, but he did not think too much about it.
When Li Tian went out to inspect Lingjiu Palace, Lan Jian always stayed by his side and introduced him to some of the situations and changes in the palace.
Her attentiveness and intelligence also made Li Tian look at her with admiration.
As time goes by, the relationship between Li Tian and the four people of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum gradually becomes subtle.
He began to pay more attention to and like them.
And under the suggestion of Tianshan Tonglao, the four figures of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum continued to occupy a certain position in Li Tian's heart.
However, Li Tian and Li Qinglu's relationship was also developing at the same time.
Li Qinglu often communicated with Li Tian, sharing some of the customs and habits of Western Xia and her own daily life.
Li Tian would also tell her interesting stories about Lingjiu Palace and his own cultivation experience.
One day, Li Tian received a letter from Li Qinglu, saying that she hoped Li Tian could go to Xixia to visit her.
Li Tian had an idea and decided to go to Xixia.
When Li Tian told Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju that he was going to Xixia, they all felt a little disappointed.
But they still forced themselves to smile as they prepared luggage for Li Tian and told him to be careful on his journey.
After Li Tian left Lingjiu Palace, Tianshan Tonglao found Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum again.
Tianshan Tonglao said: "When Li Tian goes to Xixia, his relationship with the Xixia princess may be further improved. During the time he is away, you should work harder to improve your status in his heart. When he comes back, you must let him see your importance."
The four of them nodded in agreement.
During Li Tian's absence, they practiced martial arts more diligently and learned various knowledge, hoping to give him a surprise when he returned.
Li Tian had a very pleasant meeting with Li Qinglu in Xixia.
Together they visited the beautiful scenery of Western Xia and tasted the local delicacies.
Li Qinglu's feelings for Li Tian grew deeper and deeper, and she began to consider whether to agree to some of Li Tian's requests.
However, while Li Tian was in Western Xia, he also received some news from Lingjiu Palace.
It is said that after he left, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum worked hard to practice and manage the affairs of the palace, keeping everything in order.
His admiration for them grew day by day.
