The largest living room in Zhaixing Tower was packed with people, but it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Shang Liancheng personally served the tea, bringing it in cup after cup. The occasional sound of clinking porcelain made people feel that time was flowing.
After all the tea was served, Shang Liancheng exited the living room, wiped his forehead that was not sweating involuntarily, turned around and saw the young man standing by the window.
The appearance of the two people is quite similar, except that Shang Liancheng's body is covered with brocade, and at first glance he looks like a person wallowing in the world of mortals, but this person is dressed in a blue shirt and looks otherworldly.
"Ancestor, you are back." He saluted respectfully.
The young man nodded slightly. In the entire Fengwu City, the only person in Fengwu City who could be called "ancestor" by Shang Liancheng was Shaoyang Jun, the head of the merchant family. Ling Bufei was taken away, and he also went to find someone, and he just came back now.
"How?" Shang Shaoyang glanced at the living room.
Shang Liancheng smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, at least there was no fight."
Shang Shaoyang nodded and walked back to the hall.
Zhaixinglou has not been doing business for the past two days, so the clerks are too busy scratching their feet. When they see their boss coming, they stand up in a hurry and pretend to have done nothing.
"I heard that Fang Xucheng is dead?" Shang Shaoyang took the tea from the maid and took a sip.
Shang Liancheng responded yes, unable to hide the joy on his face: "There is no one in charge of the Fang family anymore. It's time to withdraw from the Council of Elders."
Shang Shaoyang was not interested in this matter, so he just responded in a cursory manner.
Shang Liancheng knew what was going on and immediately changed the subject: "I just heard about it and it's quite weird."
"Oh?" Shang Shaoyang looked over to him.
Shang Liancheng then talked about the news he had inquired about: "This morning, a thunder pillar suddenly appeared on the mountain. The seniors of the two factions went to find it and found that Hu Erniang's lair was originally in Fenghuang Mountain. The strange thing is that when they arrived, Hu Erniang and Fang Xucheng are both dead, but Master Ling and Miss Bai are unscathed..."
After he finished speaking, Shang Shaoyang thought for a moment and said slowly: "What Master Ling Shao means is that Hu Erniang and Fang Xucheng died together?"
Shang Liancheng nodded.
"He didn't do anything, he just got lucky?"
Shang Liancheng continued to nod.
Shang Shaoyang sneered and said two words: "Absurd!"
Shang Liancheng agrees very much. Isn't that ridiculous? He was a useless person who couldn't cultivate, but he was captured by the cultivator of the Transformation God. As a result, Yuan Ying and the Transformation Soul died in an internal fight. Nothing happened to him. How could such a good thing happen?
"But Master Ling was bitten to death, what can we do?"
Shang Shaoyang was too lazy to investigate: "Let them make the noise on their own. As long as everyone is fine, the rest has nothing to do with us in Fengwucheng."
At this time, a clear cough finally broke the silence in the living room.
"Young Sect Leader, don't you have anything else to say?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a stern brow, who looked unsmiling and very serious.
He is one of the elders of Taiyi Hall who came out to find someone this time, Yang Xiangtian.
As soon as Ling Bufei disappeared, Lord Kumu reported it, and the leader immediately ordered him and the two elders to look for him. After searching for a whole day and still having no clue, I suddenly received a message from a disciple saying that the young sect master had been found.
It's good to find it, but when he came back and heard the nonsense made up by Ling Bufei, Yang Xiangtian couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
The Taiyi Palace is the highest combat power of the Wuji Sect. If they are dispatched, it will be a major event involving the sect. The three of them had been searching hard all day, and they were not here to be perfunctory by him!
The two gangsters killed each other and died together - they didn't even make up a decent lie!
"No, I've finished what I need to say." Opposite him, Ling Bufei held his chin up and blew the scented tea in the teacup in boredom, without even looking at her.
Seeing him like this, Yang Xiangtian didn't want to show any shame anymore, so he asked: "Do you think we are easy to deceive? How did you escape unscathed in the battle between Huashen and Nascent Soul? There are obviously big people in the valley. The traces of the formation, you are in it, can you not be affected at all? Also, the Yuanying surnamed Fang is broken, but the Yuanshen of Hu Erniang is empty, where did she go? You should explain it!"
"What's the explanation?" Ling Bufei sneered, "You don't know why Hu Erniang arrested me. I've suffered a lot, how can I say I'm unscathed? And that man named Fang, who is a green onion? Dare to go against the Wuji Sect? The last question is even more puzzling. She is a monk who transforms into gods. Isn’t it normal to have a secret method to escape? How else can I know?"
At this point, he sneered: "You guys are so interesting one by one. I was the one who was arrested, and I was the one who almost lost his life. I finally came back safely, and you tried me like a prisoner. Why, I still If you can guard yourself and steal, why would you deliberately ask someone to snatch me away?"
"you……"
"Master Yang!" An old voice sounded, interrupting Yang Xiangtian. Venerable Kumu, who had been meditating with his eyes closed in the corner, opened his eyes and said in a warning tone, "Hu Erniang snatched the young sect master from me. Do you doubt me if you don't believe what the young sect master said?"
Venerable Kumu was senior, so Yang Xiangtian had to soften his attitude: "Uncle, that's not what I meant."
"That's not what you meant. The young sect leader has already made it very clear. There is no need to ask any more questions. You must know that the young sect leader is still the young sect master after all, not a disciple who can be beaten and scolded at will by your disciples."
These words were a bit harsh. Yang Xiangtian paused and could only lower his head: "I understand, uncle."
The matter came to an end, and the atmosphere in the living room relaxed.
Yuanying female cultivator Youyan, who was the first to rush to pick them up, came out to smooth things over: "It's rare for everyone to come out, why don't we spend two days in Fengwu City? This Star Picking Tower is quite interesting, and there will be an auction in the evening..."
Yang Xiangtian was in a bad mood and said calmly: "You guys can play, I'll go back first."
"Uncle Master..."
"Wait." Ling Bufei's voice sounded again.
Yang Xiangtian had a patient look on his face: "What else does the young master have to do?"
Ling Bufei straightened his sleeves: "It's not a big deal, I just told a few elders. This time when I went out, I met the girl I like. We fell in love at first sight, agreed with each other, and decided to become a couple. I will take her with me later. Go back and see your uncle."
Yang Xiangtian frowned. He knew where Ling Bufei had gone out this time, and he felt more and more unhappy. This young sect leader, even if he can't cultivate himself, brings in outsiders to seize power, he is really good at looking for trouble.
"Miss Ji? Qifeng Valley is our subordinate sect. The Ji family's strength is average, so it doesn't match the young sect master, right?"
"Of course not." Ling Bufei denied it flatly, "If I wanted to like Ji Xingge, would I wait until today?"
"Who is that?" Yang Xiangtian was stunned for a moment.
You Yan reacted quickly, remembering the scene in the valley: "Is the young sect leader talking about the girl who was kidnapped with you? But she is a disciple of Danxia Palace!"
Ling Bufei nodded with a smile and corrected: "She has not yet entered the academy, so she is not considered a disciple of Danxia Palace. If she is married to this young master, she will naturally be a member of the Wuji Sect."
