Tianshui Peak
Like other Tianzihao peaks, the Yingbin Hall of Tianshui Peak is also built near the teleportation array.
Yang Zhen was very familiar with this place. There were many times when he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he came directly to this place to greet Zhao Yue'er and give the girl a surprise.
But today, the atmosphere was very dull.
There were two other people waiting with him.
One is a middle-aged man wearing linen clothes and a white hat on his head, with a stern face and a sad expression.
This is Zhao Yunhu, the third elder of the Zhao family who is responsible for family law enforcement and punishment. With the clan leader at home and the second elder being old, the third elder is currently the most important figure that the Zhao family can send.
He personally came to greet Zhao Yue'er, which shows that the family attaches great importance to the little girl at this time.
The other person is Zixue. As Zhao Yue'er's closest senior sister, she naturally has her reasons for appearing here.
"Senior Sister Zixue," Yang Zhen whispered, "How is Yue'er doing now?"
"It's good," Zixue replied: "She was successfully promoted to Foundation Establishment yesterday. She has been consolidating her realm this day, and she should be able to leave the customs in due time."
"It's just," a look of worry flashed across her face: "When she is shocked to hear about the changes in her family, she will be emotional and overwhelmed with grief, so she has to be careful."
Yang Zhen nodded, feeling worried in her heart.
He looked at the third elder, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Third elder, can you take off your mourning clothes first to avoid irritating the young lady?"
"Absurd!" The third elder in charge of punishments, always rigid and stubborn, immediately scolded: "The mourning has already begun, how can there be any reason to take off the mourning clothes halfway?"
"Do you still want to hide these things at home from the young lady?"
"I don't want to hide it from Yue'er," Yang Zhen explained patiently: "I'm worried that when the young lady comes out of seclusion and suddenly sees your clothes, she will be unprepared and it will be easy for her to do something bad."
"I will explain it to the lady after her mood stabilizes. Then you can put it on again without any delay."
"We have received the lady and will go to town soon. How long do you want to wait?" the third elder asked accusingly.
He didn't have a good impression of Yang Zhen. In the past, when Zhao Beiqing was around, he was too lazy to pay attention to this kid, but now he couldn't bear it anymore.
"I, a monk from the Zhao family, have never seen any storms, so I am not that fragile!"
With a wave of his hand, he pointed at Yang Zhen's nose and told him to mind his own business.
Yang Zhen suddenly became angry. Just now he asked Zixue face to face, but he was actually telling the other party. Zhao Yue'er has just been promoted and her realm is not yet stable. If she is stimulated by two consecutive tragedies in her family, her realm may fall and her foundation may be damaged.
Why doesn't this old man understand this?
He was no longer polite. For the sake of Yue'er's safety, there was no harm in offending the person in front of her.
"Third Elder," Yang Zhen said coldly, "If you insist on doing this, I have no choice but to ask the senior sister from Tianshui Peak to ask you out first!"
"You are so bold!" The third elder was furious. In his eyes, Yang Zhen was just a lowly slave, yet she dared to talk to him like this. If this were in the Zhao Mansion, he could kill this ignorant boy with just one slap!
However, this is a sect, Tianshui Peak, and Zixue is obviously on Yang Zhen's side. I saw her walking slowly, with one hand spread out as a farewell gesture.
The third elder's face was ashen. He is riding a tiger and can't get off. Even if he takes off his mourning clothes at this time, he is going back on his word and surrendering to a junior, which makes people laugh even more.
He stood up angrily, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Somehow, as soon as this person left, Yang Zhen felt much more relaxed.
However, thinking about the current situation of the Zhao family, he couldn't feel relaxed at all.
…
At a moment later, the little girl appeared in the Yingbin Hall.
"Little Shitou——" She cheered and rushed towards the boy. The irrepressible breath of foundation building made Yang Zhen's muscles tense involuntarily.
"I am Senior Sister Zhuji, are you afraid?" She waved her fist, feeling proud.
"Afraid, afraid." Yang Zhen quickly gave up.
"Little stone," Zhao Yue'er glanced at Zixue secretly, her face turned slightly red, and she said through a voice transmission: "The magic power in my body is extremely full now, why don't we practice some more, maybe your meridians can be expanded again! "
What she meant by practice, Yang Zhen instantly understood, was to double practice the Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra.
Although Zixue didn't hear the sound transmission, she could understand many of the two's little moves in the past few years and immediately rolled her eyes.
What are the effects of practicing both Qi training and foundation building? Yang Zhen also felt itchy in her heart.
Unfortunately, now is not the time.
He sighed: "Yue'er, come here with me and I'll tell you something."
After saying that, he took Zhao Yuer, who was a little confused, and went to a secluded and soundproof room with Zixue.
…
"What! Grandpa is dead? Xiao Shitou, you, you lied to me, didn't you?" Zhao Yue'er's eyes widened and the circles under her eyes turned red instantly, and she held Yang Zhen's arms tightly with both hands.
Yang Zhen looked at her solemnly and remained silent.
Zhao Yue'er made a fuss twice, and finally believed that this was not a joke, and couldn't help crying in her heart: "Grandpa——"
Yang Zhen held her in her arms and patted her back gently.
The breath of Ji Zhu was rushing around his chest, hitting his body continuously, causing small pimples to form on his skin.
Yang Zhen was shocked when she saw Zixue coming over quickly and putting a jade hand on Zhao Yue'er's shoulder.
Soon, the little girl's breath stabilized.
Yang Zhen looked at her gratefully. Zixue is here today to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
Zhao Yue'er suddenly raised her head and said in an urgent voice: "Mammy, where is grandma? How is she?"
"Mommy suffered some injuries and is currently recuperating at home in Yunya Town." Yang Zhen replied.
"Injured? Is it serious?" Zhao Yuer asked.
Yang Zhen thought for a while and said vaguely: "Fortunately, there is no fear of life."
Zhao Yue'er felt a little relieved, but thinking about her own grandfather, she felt sad and tears burst into her eyes again.
However, there is one unfortunate thing.
"Yue'er," Yang Zhen held the girl's shoulders and stared at her: "Something happened at home. You, you need to calm down."
"What? Is there anything else?" Zhao Yuer asked tremblingly.
"Well, Ancestor Yun Jun failed to attack the Heart Demon Pass and died." Yang Zhen spoke in a low tone.
"Grandpa Yunjun..." Zhao Yuer murmured with a sad smile on her face: "How could this happen?"
She didn't cry this time, but the sadness in her heart was hard to describe.
There are two ancestors in the clan, one is her closest grandfather, and the other used to tease her when she was a child and was very protective of her. He is also someone very close to her heart.
I just stayed in seclusion to advance to the next level, but there was such a big change in my family!
"When did this happen?"
"Three days ago, it was also the third day after the ancestor of Zhexi was killed in Hanzhou."
"Did someone reveal the news of my grandfather's death to him?" Zhao Yue'er's voice suddenly turned cold.
Seeing that she was lost in thought instead of immersed in sorrow, Yang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The disciple who was guarding Jingshi Hall that day swore on his inner demons that he would never reveal this matter."
"Has anyone else entered the mountains?"
"This, I don't know." Yang Zhen shook her head.
This matter was handled by Zhao Yunhu and a foundation-building disciple of the Zhao family in the sect. It is said that the disciple surnamed Liu who was guarding Jingshi Hall took the inner demon oath on the spot. As for whether anyone else had entered, the third elder also asked. The elder of the General Affairs Hall said that it was an illegal act and it was impossible for anyone to violate it.
Zhao Yunhu did not dare to force the other party to swear on this, otherwise the two sides would probably have a stalemate.
"Maybe someone went in!" Zhao Yuer gritted his teeth. During her years in the sect, she had long known that many of the so-called rules and regulations were in name only.
However, this does not mean that she believes that someone has entered and affected the ancestor's cultivation.
After all, with Yun Jun's condition, it was not an accident that he failed to attack the Heart Demon Pass and fell.
The third elder and the foundation-building disciple did not have any doubts about this at all.
However, many people will subconsciously look for objective reasons when something happens to a relative or friend. This is human nature.
But this time, Zhao Yue'er probably didn't expect that this casual guess was actually the truth.
"I must find out about this matter." Zhao Yuer said bitterly.
Yang Zhen's heart moved. When it comes to investigation, who is better than him?
