I originally thought I had arrived early enough, but I didn't expect that the place was already full of people, and Mo Hongjing was standing in the center of the crowd, facing Taoist Sanqing, standing with his hands behind his back.
"You came?"
As soon as I came in, Mo Hongjing spoke without looking back.
It seems that he already knew that I was coming.
"I'm coming!" I responded.
At this time, Mo Hongjing turned around leisurely, glanced at me, and then said slowly: "Now that you are here, you should already know what you want to do, right?"
I replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Is it right to represent the sect and participate in the Luotian Festival?"
Mo Hongjing narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Yes, I believe that Senior Brother Su has already told you the details of the Luotian Dajiao, so I won't go into details. Of course, I also know that for me, I owe you something to the Maoshan Sect, but since you have agreed to participate in the Luotian Festival, I hope you can disregard your past grudges, give it a try, and earn a name for our Maoshan Sect!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer, why? Just because your upper lip touches your lower lip, do I have to obey your arrangements with peace of mind?
I shook my head: "Sect Master Mo, I hope you can understand one thing. I can participate in this Luotian Festival not because of you, but because of Maoshan Sect. Maoshan is popular. It is my grandfather's long-cherished wish. I just I don’t want to see the Maoshan Sect continue to decline and make my grandfather Jiuquan feel unhappy. Moreover, I agreed to participate in the Luotian Festival not without reason. To put it bluntly, you asked me to participate in the Luotian Festival because you wanted to Get a good name for the Maoshan Sect, and I promise you that I will do my best to pursue that glory, but all this is not without conditions. Is there anything in this world that will be rewarded without giving? You are right ?, Sect Master Mo?"
At the end of the sentence, I shamelessly showed a trace of suspicion.
Mo Hongjing was also stunned by what I said, and then asked: "What do you mean?"
I still looked the same as before and said, "It's not interesting. In order for Luotian Dajiao to gain a good reputation this time, I want to ask Sect Master Mo to borrow something!"
Mo Hongjing raised his eyebrows: "What?"
I said it bluntly: "Maoshan Great Seal!!"
As soon as I said this, Mo Hongjing's brows furrowed for a moment, as if he heard something and saw a ghost. But the next second, his expression returned to normal, and he assumed the posture of the leader of the sect.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Mo Hongjing said coldly.
I had long expected that he would behave like this, so I was not surprised at all and replied directly: "Of course I know, and I also know that Sect Leader Mo is unwilling to borrow it, but I hope you can understand this Luotian Festival." This is such a big matter, if I don’t have a magical weapon that I can use, I can’t guarantee what kind of ranking I can achieve!”
I'm not afraid that he will be angry, because from another level, this matter has become a transaction, and I am just putting forward my own conditions.
It was obvious that Mo Hongjing wanted to get angry, but he kept restraining himself. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "Did you know that the Maoshan Great Seal is a token of the Maoshan Sect Master? Except for the Sect Master, no outsider has the right to hold it." Palm?"
I also sneered, and then replied: "Did Sect Leader Mo forget about the sect competition two days ago? Mo Jingtian attacked me with the Maoshan seal. Everyone up and down Maoshan saw it. Since Mo Jingtian can get it, I Lin Jiubian can't take it? Moreover, the Maoshan Great Seal used by Mo Jingtian was used on Zongbi to deal with his own sect's disciples, and I borrowed the seal for the reputation of Maoshan Sect. Sect Master Mo will not weigh it. Aren’t you going to come out?”
As soon as I said this, the entire Sanqing Palace fell into silence, and there was no sound for a long time.
It was still Master Yansheng who broke the calm: "Okay, there is no need to be so tense, Hong Jing, Lin Jiu just wants to borrow it, and it's not like he won't return it to you, and as he said, this time It’s for the reputation of our Maoshan Sect at the Luotian Jiao Festival. This is a serious matter, so I hope you can all consider it carefully!”
As soon as Master Yansheng finished speaking, Qin Guan and Su Han on the side also echoed: "Yes, for the sake of Maoshan Sect, it is not impossible to agree to him!"
Seeing so many people supporting me at the scene, after a long time, Mo Hongjing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Lin Jiu, I can agree to your conditions, but what guarantee can you give me? Don't When the time comes, I give you this Maoshan Great Seal, but you can’t give me anything?”
Of course I knew what he was asking, he just wanted me to give him a guarantee, so I said: "You should know what Maoshan Sect was like in the past. I can't give you any guarantee, that's not realistic, but I I can tell you, it won’t be any worse than in previous years!”
Mo Hongjing nodded slightly: "Okay, as long as you say this, I hope you will not break your promise. When you participate in the Luotian Festival, the Maoshan Great Seal will be handed over to you!"
“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”
Sure enough, although this old guy has a grudge against me, he is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between right and wrong. He also has his own judgment on the issue of Maoshan Sect.
With this answer, I felt relieved.
But at this time, Mo Hongjing said loudly: "Okay, since there is no problem, then this time Luotian Dajiao will be led by Lin Jiu. The six of you will set off together. You can make this promise in front of Taoist Sanqing." Promised!"
Wait, six people?
"Master, are we going to have six people this time? Which six?" I also asked hurriedly.
Master Yansheng also smiled and replied: "Of course it's the six little guys you are here?"
Six of us?
There are exactly six of me, Su Han, Qin Guan, Su Yi, Mo Jingtian, and Song Yumen.
"Wait a minute, if Qin Guan and Su Han also participate, then there is no need to call me? What's the point of asking me to participate for a little Celestial Master and a Celestial Master?" I asked in confusion.
Master Yansheng then explained: "Don't worry. In fact, there are only three people participating in the Luotian Dajiao, and those above the level of Little Celestial Master are not allowed to participate. And Su Han participated in the last one, so the Luotian Dajiao is not allowed." The same person is allowed to participate twice. They are only going to act as your logistics this time. After all, if there are no Tianshi-level sect masters in charge, we will not be too relieved. As for the four of you, you are the real candidates to participate in the competition. As for why there are four, it is to prevent emergencies and to have a substitute to play."
After hearing this, I suddenly realized that it turned out that Luotian Dajiao and the others had already planned it, and they could gather enough candidates with or without me.
…
Things here are over, and my mission to Maoshan this time is also over. I go back to pack up and leave.
And just as I was about to step out of the gate of Sanqing Palace, Master Yansheng grabbed me from behind.
"Xiaojiu, don't leave in a hurry, come with me!"
