"Then we won't disturb you. Mother-in-law, please do as you please."
The owner of the Five Immortals Sect, an old woman in a purple cloud-sea robe, showed no sign of resistance and turned around and left.
The elder Fan Qingqing still had a natural and respectful expression: "My mother-in-law has her destiny, and we should follow it."
While speaking, she glanced at Jiang Wang intentionally or unintentionally: "Two distinguished guests, please take your time to chat."
The senior officials of the Five Immortals Sect immediately retreated, leaving only Jiang Wang and Granny Bizhu in the tall Zhengsheng Hall.
When Jiang Wang came to the offshore islands, he had already expected to meet Granny Bizhu. After all, her master cannot be avoided in rescuing Zhu Biqiong.
Even when he came to the Five Immortals Sect as a guest, a large part of the reason was because he heard that the person standing behind the Five Immortals Sect was Granny Bizhu.
But he really never thought about meeting him so early.
What kind of person is Granny Bizhu?
From Zhu Biqiong's occasional narration earlier, it seems that this old woman has a relatively strong personality, which makes Zhu Biqiong a little afraid, but she is very good to her disciples. As a powerful elder, his status in Diaohai Tower goes without saying.
After Zhu Suyao was almost half-disabled, Granny Bizhu also fought for the opportunity for her to enter the secret realm of Tianfu, which proved that Granny Bizhu was indeed good to her disciples.
Moreover, Zhu Biqiong returned to the island before and reported how Zhu Suyao was framed. Although Hu Shaomeng was dead, he was quickly removed from his name.
Granny Bizhu's protection for her disciples can also be seen from this.
And judging from Jiang Wang’s current first contact...
Granny Bizhu is undoubtedly a very powerful person!
As soon as she appeared, she had a firm grasp of the situation with just two sentences.
On the one hand, she drove out the senior officials of the Five Immortals Sect in the main hall of the Five Immortals Sect, showing Jiang Wang her strong control over the Five Immortals Sect.
If Jiang Wang really represents someone from Qi State and has some thoughts about the Five Immortals Sect, he will have to reconsider it.
On the other hand, she chose to contact Jiang Wang personally, but excluded the top management of the Five Immortals Sect. This was to completely deny the opportunity for the Foxes of the Five Immortals Sect to pretend to be powerful and play both sides.
She was able to personally observe Jiang Wang's purpose in coming to the Five Immortals Sect without being disturbed.
On the contrary, Fan Qingqing and others, who had no idea what they were going to talk about outside the palace, would inevitably throw a tantrum after that, not knowing what to say and what not to say.
Unless Jiang Wang or the forces behind Jiang Wang have close and firm cooperation with the Five Immortals Sect. In addition, all intentions that were only in the early stage of contact should collapse.
Another thing Jiang Wang saw was that Granny Bizhu shouted at the top of the Five Immortals Sect at will... indicating that she was no longer just the backer behind the Five Immortals Sect, not just a relationship of exchange of interests, but began to control this The sect began to completely turn the Five Immortals Sect into its own subordinates and vassals.
Perhaps? This is the reason why Fan Qingqing had an ambiguous attitude towards Dui Mingdao before.
One old and one young, both sides have their own observations and considerations.
Out of politeness? Jiang Wang first said hello: "Mother-in-law, please sit down."
"Is there any guest who hasn't sat down? Why does the host sit down first?" Granny Bizhu said with a hint of truth in her words: "Please sit down first."
He seems to consider himself a landlord.
Jiang Wang smiled and sat down in his original position without explaining to the old woman who was afraid of others taking over her territory. Then he said: "I wonder what my mother-in-law has to do, do you want to talk to me?"
Granny Bizhu walked over slowly and sat down on the main seat. She listened quietly for a while and suddenly sighed: "I'm old!"
Jiang Wang thought to himself, isn't this obvious? The wrinkles on your old man's face are so deep that they could trap a fly.
But after all, he wouldn't say it so rudely. At the same time, I am too lazy to flatter myself.
Seeing that Jiang Wang was speechless, Granny Bizhu said again: "When I see a young man like you in your prime, it will inevitably remind me of the past. But back then, there were not many young people like you." "
"I'm just young and energetic. How can I afford such praise?" Jiang Wang asked, "Do you know my mother-in-law?"
"Jiang Wang, a man from Qingyang Town, why don't you know me? As soon as I hear this name, I know who it is." When Bi Zhu's mother-in-law said this, she let out a long sigh: "After all...my Bi Qiong disciple? He often talks about it to me. .”
It was she who brought up the topic of Zhu Biqiong first.
But Jiang Wang was not the first to talk, but said: "You also have a time when you are young? I also have a time when I am old. People in the world, things in the world? It's all like this. What kind of talent? Talent? It's just a temporary thing."
He originally thought that Granny Bizhu only learned about the visit from Qi State through her eyes and ears in the Five Immortals Sect. Or maybe Fan Qingqing deliberately released the news.
The purpose of Granny Bizhu coming to Zhengsheng Hall should naturally be to protect her "foundation" and prevent outsiders from interfering with the Five Immortals Sect.
But at this moment... what is the purpose of mentioning Zhu Biqiong?
Does she know her intention to come to the offshore islands?
Jiang Wang needed time to think and didn't want to reveal his attitude too early, so he had never heard of Zhu Biqiong's name.
Grandma Bizhu sighed again: "There are not many young people who see things as clearly as you. It's really rare! No wonder Biqiong always mentions you."
This old woman was always sighing, as if she was stuck in a heavy heart and couldn't extricate herself. And Zhu Biqiong was mentioned again and again.
Jiang Wang finally could no longer avoid it: "Actually, I came to the offshore islands this time not only to perform official duties, but also to see Brother Bamboo. How is she... now?"
"What else can I do?" The old woman said in a sad and low voice: "I'm just waiting to die..."
She changed the topic and said, "Biqiong is so lucky to have you as a friend in Qi. You also helped with Hu Shaomeng's incident. It's a pity..."
"Killing Hu Shaomeng is just to fulfill the promise." Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's a pity?"
Granny Bizhu sighed deeply again: "It's hard to break the rules. Even though I have some status and have become an elder due to my age, I can't influence such big events as the Sea Festival. I can only watch Qiong'er... …”
At this point, she was already choked up with tears: "Her cultivation was destroyed by me with my own hands. I am really..."
His voice was pitiful and his expression was so sad that those who saw him almost cried.
Especially in this Zhengsheng Hall, it is extremely contagious.
Thinking of Zhu Biqiong's situation, Jiang Wang was inevitably hurt.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, something he had not thought of before, and something Zhong Xuansheng had ignored because he did not know Zhu Biqiong well enough—Hai Zongming, as the powerful elder of Diaohai Tower, should keep his movements secret. How did Zhu Biqiong know that?
Zhu Biqiong is certainly not a fool, but she is definitely not very wise. In the previous time, she was too well protected by her sister Zhu Suyao, so she was simple and ignorant of the world.
How could such a simple girl detect Haizongming's movements, and how could she hide it from such a powerful Granny Bizhu?
Both he and Zhongxuan Sheng knew that Zhu Biqiong was deprived of her cultivation and sent to Shanghai for sacrifice because she violated the sect rules, which indirectly led to the death of the sect elder Hai Zongming.
Their focus has been on how to break the rules of Diaohai Tower, how to influence the sea festival, and how to rescue Zhu Biqiong, but they have ignored the beginning of this matter-why Zhu Biqiong can pass on to him News about Haizong Ming!
