Wei Biao was choked.
Mortals after the age of twelve can actually grow spiritual roots. In his nearly three decades of practice, he has never heard of such a strange thing.
Therefore, when he saw the report sent by the Internal Affairs Department yesterday, his first reaction was that this should be the fairy seedling that was missed at the time, but now it was found somehow.
Then, fearing that the Zhao family would be implicated, the two young disciples secretly made up such an unreliable reason.
He was very excited. With this handle, he could force the boy named Yang to hand over Tian Tiezhu.
Originally, there was no need for him, the hall leader, to take action personally for such a matter, and Zhou Yuan was undoubtedly more suitable.
But after something happened to the Zhao family before the Chinese New Year, he was so angry that he drove this reckless disciple to Qingzhou.
From what he thought, since Yi Jinbo appeared in Qingzhou, he might still be hiding there. Let this subordinate who is good at enduring hardships and stand hard work continue to do the manual work of finding people.
Continue to sharpen his temper, otherwise you don't know what tricks he will cause in the future.
But Zhou Yuan was not here, and he couldn't let others know about it, so he had to do it himself.
Unexpectedly, I heard such an answer from this kid.
"Ancestor acquiesced?" He asked in surprise: "Where is the skill? Was it also given by Ancestor?"
Yang Zhen spread her hands and did not answer.
After asking and answering questions, he came to a conclusion from Wei Biao's inquiry:
The ancestor did not disclose the incident of that meeting to this confidant.
This gave him the opportunity to use the tiger's skin as a banner.
Wei Biao did not continue to ask. The excuse he thought he had was a complete joke.
After a long silence, he decided to change his approach.
"Tian Tiezhu, is he your friend?" he asked suddenly.
Yang Zhen was stunned, not knowing why she was asked this, but she did not deny it and admitted frankly: "Yes."
"Help me call him out of Zhao's house. I have a few words to ask him."
Yang Zhen remained silent.
"If you have any requests, just ask." Wei Biao made the conditions.
"I have a question, Master, can you help me?" Yang Zhen thought of something and asked respectfully.
"Speaking."
"That day in Zhao Town, why didn't the Master make this request to my ancestor? Presumably, my ancestor would not refuse such a small request from the Master."
This was actually an omission that Yang Zhen thought of later, which shocked him into a cold sweat.
He realized that he was being a bit smart.
If during the Chinese New Year, Wei Biao had stepped in for his disciple and directly told Zhao Beiqing that he wanted to see Tian Tiezhu, would the Zhao family not have given him the honor?
The two ancestors made another pair of confessions and found that the so-called Tian Tiezhu was in the Chaori Yam Garden was a complete fabrication. If we continue to investigate all the way, Zhao Qianan will definitely not be able to hide it.
In this way, all of his designs will be exposed to the public.
Although this may not necessarily lead to him being kicked out of the Zhao family, it will undoubtedly leave a bad impression of being a man of power.
If the Zhao family still wants to find out the reason, they may not be able to hide those things about themselves.
I was almost too smart!
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen, but it also made this question linger in his mind. Now that he had the opportunity, he asked.
Wei Biao twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself: "Senior Brother Zhou, something like that happened to me. I don't have any face at all, how can I bother your ancestor with such a trivial matter?"
I see! Yang Zhen nodded, that's the truth.
But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something wasn't quite right. As for what was wrong, I couldn't figure it out for the moment.
He no longer dwelled on the matter. With such skill, he also considered Hall Master Wei's request carefully.
This might not be a bad thing.
He can take this opportunity to fight for the best way to talk to Tiezhu.
Not only can he satisfy the other party's request and free himself and Tie Zhu from the dilemma of being followed, but he can also control the answers to certain questions so as not to implicate himself.
As the saying goes, it is better to block than to open up. Instead of preventing others from finding you, it is better to generously give the other party a chance to ask.
"Okay!" Yang Zhen replied happily: "As long as you don't embarrass him, I can call him in private."
The two quickly agreed on some details of their meeting.
First, the meeting place is set at Shuiwu Peak. The two parties in the dialogue were Zhou Yuan and Tian Tiezhu.
Second, Yang Zhen promised to tell Tian Tiezhu everything he knew, and the other party promised not to use techniques such as soul searching and hypnosis to confuse the mind.
Third, Hall Master Wei will pay Tie Zhu's expenses for going to Yunya Town and help Tie Zhu eliminate his birthmark as a thank you, totaling three hundred spirit stones.
Fourth, Yang Zhen is not allowed to disclose the circumstances of this meeting to others.
…
Half a month later, Tie Zhu became Yang Zhen's attendant and became a member of Cave No. 52 in Shuiwu Peak.
At the same time, Caiyun, who also had spiritual roots, after obtaining the status token of an immortal cultivator, left Shuiwu Peak and temporarily lived in the Zhao family residence in Yunya Town in accordance with the sect's rules.
After the academy tested her spiritual roots that day, Yang Zhen did not dare to go too far and just let her stay in the bluestone space for another two days. The fire spiritual roots finally grew to four feet three inches and then stopped.
Before leaving, the little girl had successfully introduced Qi into her body, but had not yet entered the Qi training level.
Her path to immortality has been paved.
Caisi also became Zhao Yue'er's new attendant as she wished. She originally came from Shuihengyuan and was Zhao Yue'er's maid, so when Yang Zhen mentioned it, the little girl readily agreed.
However, her procedures are still being processed and will take a few days.
The Yunxiao Sect stipulates that each student can have one mortal attendant. If he changes his attendant midway, he will need to pay dozens of contribution points as compensation.
However, Caiyun's situation was special and the student did not initiate the request for replacement. Therefore, the college waived the contribution points and allowed her to replace her with someone else.
This can be regarded as a secret gesture from Wei Biao.
On the second day after Tiezhu's arrival, Yang Zhen hosted a dinner in the small pavilion in front of Yuezhen Pavilion to entertain Zhou Yuan, who had returned from Qingzhou.
Tie Zhu accompanied him.
The three of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. During this period, Zhou Yuan asked Tie Zhu about Taoist priest Liu (Zhou Yuan also called this person Taoist priest Liu according to Tie Zhu's habit) about many things at Baihu Temple, and Tie Zhu answered truthfully.
Only this last place——
"You said he came back one night and was very excited and took you flying in the sky?" Zhou Yuan asked again.
"Yes!" Tie Zhu replied: "That was the first time I flew into the sky, and I will never forget it in my life."
"Tell me what it feels like." Zhou Yuan said casually.
Tie Zhu then described his feelings in detail, including how he was dragged by Daochang Liu while flying, which was vividly described.
Zhou Yuan listened with squinted eyes and nodded secretly. This feeling of flying into the sky, a mortal would never describe it in such detail unless he had personal experience.
From then on, he had no doubt that Tiezhu had indeed lived with Daochang Liu.
"What happened next?" he continued to ask.
"He left the next day, and I never saw him again," Tie Zhu's tone was full of regret: "If I had known he was leaving the next day, I would have made two useful requests. , Hey, I’m stupid!”
Zhou Yuan said nothing and fell into deep thought.
Since Taoist Yi left Xuyang happily, he must have achieved his goal. In this case, even if there was something in Zhuyang, it should be gone now.
However, the possibility that this person is still in Qingzhou is a little higher.
He secretly clenched his fists. This time when I return to Qingzhou, I must find you!
