The banquet under the late autumn moon was a bit chilly. When Wang Yuanting saw a dish of seashell soup, he immediately filled a bowl, added some shredded ginger to the bowl, and silently handed it to Shen Qingxi, who was munching crabs.
"Well...thank you, senior brother!" Shen Qingxi took the bowl of soup gratefully, with a crab leg in her mouth, unable to open her mouth to speak to Wang Yuanting.
"Sister Qingxi, eat more slowly, there are plenty of crabs!" The fourth elder, Xiaolan, didn't like seafood. She filled a bowl of medicinal porridge and sat aside to drink it slowly. Seeing Shen Qingxi eating like this Happy, I was also infected and ate several bowls more than usual.
"It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Canglan Li Palace is also busy..." Canglan, the leader of Haikuo Sect, smiled and looked at Shen Qingxi, who was eating crabs with relish, and said with emotion.
Cang Lan's personal bodyguard, Jiao Bing'er, saw that her sect leader had been sluggish since he found out that the knight Jing Wuwei was injured, so she said tentatively: "Mr. President, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Every year, the sect leader will attend the Mid-Autumn Festival. Back to Li Palace for half a day, I wonder if this year..."
How could Jing Baiwei not know what Bing'er was thinking? He thought for a moment and then nodded: "That's fine, Sect Leader Lan should return to Li Palace as usual, and leave the affairs of Haikuo Sect to Brother Wang and me!"
Wang Yuanting was more rational. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and agreed: "Brother Baiwei is right. Sect Leader Lan has already released the news about the alliance between Haikuo Sect and Yanyue Sect, so there is no need to stay in the sect all the time. You are not in the sect, Those ambitious people can show their tails quickly!"
Seeing the two adults nodding, the personal female friend Jia Bing'er immediately smiled and said happily to Cang Lan who was standing aside, "Great, princess, you can go back to Li Palace to visit Sir Xia Zhe during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Cang Lan, who was staying aside, only reacted at this moment, stood up from the chair excitedly, and said excitedly: "I... I will go back to the room and contact Cang Han!"
Seeing that her princess was as happy as a child, her personal maid, Ju Bing'er, felt her heart tremble and the corners of her eyes were moist. She nodded gratefully to Jing Baiwei and followed Cang Lan back to the backyard room.
After Canglan Sect Leader returned to his room, Jing Baiwei and Wang Yuanting stood up and left the table. Jing Baiwei is going to contact the secret guards outside the clan, and Wang Yuanting is also going to do something outside the city.
After the two left, Shen Qingxi and the fourth elder, Xiaolan, sat for a while and then prepared to go back.
The fourth elder Xiaolan accompanied Shen Qingxi out of the courtyard, took her arm affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Sister Qingxi, can you go to Xiaolan's place to accompany me tonight?"
"This... okay!" Shen Qingxi felt a little embarrassed when she heard sister Xiaolan's request.
According to Shen Qingxi's previous behavior, she would definitely run out to look for her senior brother Wang Yuanting tonight, but in front of her, her senior uncle's god-granddaughter invited her, and she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only ignore her senior brother for the time being!
At this time, Senior Brother Wang Yuanting didn't know Shen Qingxi's mood. He left the city today because he noticed something strange about an elder of Haikuo Sect in the meeting hall during the day. He left the city this time to confirm something.
Wang Yuanting and Jing Baiwei left the Haikuo Sect together, and they separated. It was early at night in the small seaside town. At this time, most people in the city closed their doors. Wang Yuanting was walking alone on the dark street. For some reason, a feeling of loneliness arose in his heart.
Wang Yuanting touched the tip of his cold nose and chuckled: "What's wrong with me? I've always felt uneasy since I came to Haikuo Sect. Junior sister Qingxi is now safe and sound, and she has made a new friend, this little girl When I grow up, I don’t cling to me as much as before…”
After leaving the city, Wang Yuanting hid his figure and aura and quietly approached a dilapidated suburban house. This house is not big. It was probably a residence built by a wealthy businessman in the city for his concubine in the early years.
The house has not been cleaned all year round and is now in a state of dilapidation. Wang Yuanting flew up and climbed onto the low wall of the backyard. He used Qinggong in mid-air and turned around, landing on the roof of a wing in the backyard.
Wang Yuanting raised his hand to uncover a few broken tiles, lowered his head and looked down, only to see that there was no light in the wing, and the voices of two women came from the dark space.
A woman with a pleasant voice sighed softly and said anxiously: "The incident on Haixin Island has been exposed. Kun's head has not been refined, and the blood altar has been destroyed by Canghai. Now the chief of the secret guard has come to Haikuo Sect in person. Sister Qingxue, what's our next step?" what to do!"
The woman who was called "Qingxue" lowered her voice and comforted the woman softly: "Don't worry, our sect is bound to win the Canglan Sea. Just make that useless person Ji Beichen and the demon sect demon girl happy In two days, when they find Meren Tears, I won’t be too late to take action!”
The woman with a pleasant voice continued to report back: "In addition to the secret guard chief Jing Baiwei, the Yan Yue Sect also has two disciples, a female cultivator named Shen Qingxi, and a Golden Core monk named Wang Yuanting."
"Qingxue" heard the woman's words, her low voice became cheerful, and she said coquettishly: "Oh? It turns out that we are an old acquaintance, and he is not easy to deal with... Hide your identity well, and don't contact me in the next few days!"
When the woman saw "Qingxue" turning around and was about to leave, she quickly begged: "Sister Qingxue, since Kunshou has been rescued by Canghai and the female Shark Xue'er is no longer useful, can you..."
"Qingxue" heard the woman's words, her tone became stern, and she accused: "Blood Coral, don't forget your own identity. Since you have taken the path of our Chenghuan Sect, it is inevitable that your hands will be stained by members of the same clan. Blood! How is that stupid woman from the fifth elder doing lately?"
The woman's tone became humble after being scolded by "Qingxue", and she replied in a low voice: "Yinjing is obsessed with the male cultivator sent by her sister. I think she will know the secret of Canglan soon!"
Late at night, the two women having a secret conversation in the dilapidated wing were none other than the second elder of the Haikuo Sect, Xue Guoran, and the protector of the Chenghuan Sect, Bai Qingxue.
Today in the meeting hall of Haikuo Sect, Wang Yuanting talked with the Confucian scholars and single-handedly persuaded the elders to unite with the Yan Yue Sect to fight against the Huan Mie Sect.
The first person to question Wang Yuanting was the straightforward third elder Hongxiu. Hongxiu stood up and cupped her hands to Wang Yuanting and said: "You claim to be from the Yan Yue Sect, but as far as I know, there is no name of brother Wang among the elders of the Yan Yue Sect. Can you really replace the leader of the Yan Yuan Sect and talk to us about the alliance? ?”
Wang Yuanting is wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Yan Yue Sect today. It is white with blue patterns, and the half-moon pattern of the sect is embroidered on the collar and cuffs.
He cupped his hands and answered the words of the third elder Hong Xiu: "I am indeed not an elder of the Yan Yue Sect, but I am a direct disciple of Sect Master Yan and the senior brother of Palace Master Yan! Here is the token of my Palace Master. Let's unite with other sects to fight against Huan Mie. Zong Geng was personally instructed by my sect master.”
Seeing that the third elder Hong Xiu was easily persuaded, the first elder Bai Bei hurriedly stepped forward and said: "A dignified demon sect, but he said that he wants to fight against other demon sects. This is a bit low in credibility!"
Wang Yuanting met with the Great Elder Bai Bei last night, and also learned from Jing Baiwei's mouth the reason why he hates the Demon Sect, and knew that he would definitely talk about Yan Yue Sect as a member of the "Demon Sect" today.
"Judge in green" Wang Yuanting turned into a cunning fox at this time. He narrowed his eyes and said politely: "The great elder seems to be quite hostile to the Demon Sect. It is reasonable for me to have this prejudice. The four of the Demon Sect At home, the Demonic Shadow Sect is wavering, the Chenghuan Sect has long since taken refuge with the Huanmie Sect, and our Yanyue Sect has always been independent and has never participated in it.
At the sword trial meeting in Cangzhou City, the Yuyin Sect ignored the opposition of everyone and bowed to the Huanmie Sect. Isn't the intention of surrender obvious enough? Is the Yuyin Sect also a disciple of the Demon Sect? "
"This..." The Great Elder Bai Bei knew about the Sword Trial Conference, and he also heard about "Mr. Chen" from Prince Mu's Mansion in Cangzhou City. He had always regarded it as his own duty to benefit his people, and he admired Mr. Chen's character in his heart, but he didn't know how to respond.
The fifth elder Yin Jing, who had been sitting next to Sect Master Lan, spoke at this time: "Huh, Mr. Wang said it lightly, our Haikuo Sect is no better than your Yan Yue Sect. Your Yan Yue Sect sits on the Yan Yue Valley, is adjacent to the Lihun Valley, and behind you is We have the Cangxu Sect as our backing, but what about us? We only have the Canglan Sea, which is about to run out of spiritual power and is seriously eroded by demonic energy!"
The Fifth Elder Yinjing is an outspoken person. As the Jinlan sister of Canglan Sect, she has been following Princess Canglan since they were young. Her level of loyalty can be seen day by day. And its unique "phantom mirror" technique makes its combat power comparable to Hongxiu, who has the strongest technique in the sect.
But Nusame has a weakness. As a Nusame, the fifth elder Yin Jing has a fatal weakness, which is that he is obsessed with the endless love between his children. It would be okay if she met someone who treated her sincerely. Now Yinjing has experienced several relationships, but her sincere treatment always resulted in indifference and unrighteousness, which gradually changed her temperament.
Second elder Xue Guoran, who had been observing from the side, heard Yin Jing's words and hurriedly stood up and scolded: "Fifth elder, this is an internal matter of our Haikuo Sect and should not be disclosed to outsiders!"
When the fifth elder Yin Jing saw Xue Coral accusing him, he felt a little helpless and his face turned red with anger. He stood up and said: "What's the point! You and Bai Bei are both old-fashioned. At this time, we sharks have other choices. Well, isn’t it obvious what happened on Haixin Island? If the secret guards and Yan Yuezong hadn’t taken action, the next ‘Kunshou’ to be refined would be ourselves!”
Wang Yuanting, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly smelled the "subtle" flavor in the words and became wary.
He took over Fifth Elder Yin Jing's words and comforted her: "Fifth Elder, please rest assured, Yan Yuezong's determination to resist the Huan Mie Sect is as strong as a rock. The more critical the moment, the more we must work together, and the alliance is imminent.
Just today, the master of my palace has persuaded the shark king Canghai to enter the "Fifth Level Water Realm" to find the shark's tears, and we will set off immediately! "
The scene of verbally quarreling with the Confucians during the day was vivid in his mind. Wang Yuanting noticed something strange about the second elder Blood Coral from her reaction and words.
All the elders had doubts about his identity, Yan Yue Sect's position and ability. Only the second elder Xue Coral did not express his attitude and kept observing him.
Even the Great Elder Bai Bei, who had always had prejudices against the Yan Yue Sect, would give up his prejudices and choose to believe in the Yan Yue Sect for the sake of the future of the Hai Kuo Sect and the safety of the Shark Race.
However, in the face of the fifth elder Yin Jing's "telling the whole story", the second elder Blood Coral showed a covert attitude, as if he had some ulterior secret that he didn't want others to know.
Wang Yuanting was suspicious. After nightfall, he followed Jing Baiwei's tracking powder on Xue Hualou during the day and followed him to the dilapidated house. But he didn't expect to meet his old rival, Cheng Huan Zong Bai Qingxue...
