There was never any movement from the people outside. They were just walking back and forth outside, as if they just wanted to look at me.
The next morning, I climbed out of bed and walked outside as if nothing had happened.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but I happened to see *** as soon as I went out.
"Hey, are you awake?"
***'s face was full of flattery: "You haven't been back for so long, are you still used to sleeping?"
I stretched hard and said, "Don't tell me, I'm really used to sleeping as soon as I come back here."
"But I didn't sleep well."
"Huh? Why are you so unsure?"
I immediately activated my ability to talk nonsense and pretended to sigh: "I dreamed about Zhi'an."
"Zhi'an told me a lot of things, I vaguely remember a few things."
A hint of vigilance suddenly appeared in ***'s eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Tell me quickly, what is the old master's order?"
"He wouldn't let me tell anyone else."
I deliberately put it off: "But, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"He said he missed me and asked me to stay in Baiyun Palace for a longer time. He wanted to come back to see me in the evening."
*** forced out a slightly stiff smile: "Isn't this a joke?"
"The old boss wouldn't say such a thing?"
"Is it possible that you also dreamed about it?" I asked back.
*** waved his hand quickly: "No, no."
"Then why do you say that?"
*** looked behind him with a troubled expression: "The main reason is that tomorrow is a pure day ***, no outsiders can be present."
"Look..."
I nodded vigorously: "I understand, I'm a bit in the way here."
"No, no, no, you can come back anytime after tomorrow."
In the past, I might not have been so shameless here, but now I am kicked out in such a hurry, and I definitely don't want to.
"If I remember correctly, Jingtian *** can only have Taoist priests present, right?"
"You are an expert!" *** gave me a thumbs up.
I looked at him with a smile: "You really don't know me?"
*** was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "I know you."
"When did you meet?"
"Yesterday."
I shook my head: "You ask the most senior one of you, who am I, Chen Qi?"
"First, I am a Taoist priest. When I was in Monan, a friend gave me a name as a gift, called Little God. You can go and find out."
"in addition……"
I deliberately lengthened my voice: "I am still the deputy head of your Baiyun Palace."
"You can verify everything I said above."
*** was obviously a little stunned. I smiled and patted his shoulder: "Zhi'an and I are from the same generation. It's not a loss for you to call me Uncle Master."
"Then..." *** gave me a deep bow: "I have met my uncle."
"Okay, that's what I said." I waved my hand towards him: "Go ahead and go ahead, I'll take a walk by myself."
*** wanted to use this excuse to drive me away, but he really underestimated my identity.
Now, it’s time for me to come up with my trump card.
I was thinking last night that if Zhi'an was killed, then Le'an would definitely be alive.
The stakes are not complicated.
Although Le'an is not the leader, he has pure blood. From the perspective of inheritance, Le'an is a big sign.
Southern Taoist priests like them pay most attention to two things, one is to follow the teacher, and the other is to inherit.
The higher the apprenticeship, the higher the status in Xuanmen, and you will be a guest wherever you go.
In addition, it is inheritance.
When the old leader is gone, the position can be passed on to his heirs or brothers.
If there is neither, then it will be the outsider's turn.
In terms of seniority, Le'an is also ***'s uncle. Although he is not the leader, his seniority can hold him down.
Especially at some large events, all elders must be present. This is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years.
If the elder is alive but not present, the current leader will be criticized by thousands of people.
After all, people’s words are scary.
