The thin boy was still dazed, and he was at a loss when Murong Jingxue asked him to speak.
"I...I'm fine, thank you...thank you!"
"I want you to tell me what's going on! Are you sure you're okay? Tell me clearly why they bully you. You don't have to be afraid. I will make the decision for you." Murong Jingxue said domineeringly.
Seeing those fellow students looking at him with threatening eyes, the thin young man felt timid and did not dare to tell the truth. He hesitated and said shyly:
"It's just...the competition between our fellow students. I'm not good at studying, so...that's why what happened just now."
"Yes! Yes! Sir, we are really just a little discussion between fellow disciples." The disciples of Qingfeng Pavilion quickly agreed.
"Really?" Murong Jingxue was dubious and asked with a frown.
The thin boy pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes slightly averted, not wanting others to see him. The other disciples of Qingfeng Pavilion also nodded, fearing that Murong Jingxue would continue to pursue the case.
When Murong Jingxue saw the emaciated young man acting like this, she couldn't help but continue to interfere. After all, this was indeed someone else's sect's own business, and it was unjustifiable for an outsider to interfere.
"Since it's just a discussion between your fellow disciples, so be it!" After saying this, Murong Jingxue was about to leave with Ye Hong.
Seeing the direction Murong Jingxue and the others were leaving, the thin boy hurriedly shouted:
"Sister, please wait a moment!"
Murong Jingxue stopped and looked back at the young man. That glance made the young man stunned and almost forgot to speak. After Murong Jingxue frowned, the young man knew that he had lost his temper and said quickly:
"Sister, are you going to Qingfeng Pavilion? I am a disciple of Qingfeng Pavilion, let me guide you!"
Seeing Murong Jingxue frowning and hesitating, Ye Hong whispered to Murong Jingxue:
"We have to inquire about many things when we first come to Qingfeng Pavilion, and we really need a guide. If he doesn't come with us, this boy will not be easy after we leave, and his fellow disciples may still be like what they just did. to him."
After listening to Ye Hong's words, Murong Jingxue really felt that it made sense. Qingfeng Pavilion did not have people she knew like the Sword Making Villa. If she wanted to get another key sword, she would need to plan carefully. First, Understand the specific situation of Qingfeng Pavilion. If you can know where the key sword is, you will have a target even if you rob it openly.
Although she thought so in her heart, Murong Jingxue was still a little unhappy, and she immediately glanced at Ye Hong, as if to say, I still need you to say it!
"It just so happens that we also need someone to lead the way, so it's you!"
After hearing Murong Jingxue's agreement, the thin boy happily led the two of them towards the mountain gate of Qingfeng Pavilion. Although the thin young man didn't talk much and was a bit shy, he also learned a lot of information from Ye Hong and Murong Jingxue by asking Ye Hong and Murong Jingxue along the way.
The skinny boy's name was Jian Xinghen. He was originally the young master of Qingfeng Pavilion. He was also deeply loved by the previous master, Jian Xinghen's grandfather. Therefore, when Jian Xinghen was still very young, he established the position of young master Jian Xinghen. The identity of the Pavilion Master is the future successor of the Pavilion Master.
Jian Xinghen's talent is not bad, and his training has always been smooth. If nothing happens, he will definitely be the future pavilion master. But for some reason after Jian Xinghen turned ten, he never made any further progress. He had stayed at the ninth level of the Soul Tribulation Realm for six years without any breakthrough. There was no chance or sign of a breakthrough, as if he had been practicing for six years. They were all lost in vain.
Recently, because his grandfather, the former master of Qingfeng Pavilion, was about to die, he tried to break through the shackles of death. His father, the current master of the pavilion and the elders of the sect, praised him, and for the sake of the future development of Qingfeng Pavilion, he decided to select the successor of the pavilion master. Re-election.
Due to his low cultivation level, Jian Xinghen was only at the ninth level of the Soul Tribulation Realm. He was no match for his brother Jian Xingyun, so he could only be defeated. The position of Young Pavilion Master naturally became Jian Xingyun, and there were also other people in the sect. All agreed with this decision.
As for why Jian Xingyun was not the Young Pavilion Master in the beginning, Jian Xinghen also explained. It turns out that Jian Xingyun is not Jian Xinghen's biological brother, but an orphan picked up by Jian Xinghen's father, the master of Qingfeng Pavilion, because at the beginning Jian Xingyun's talent was indeed not as good as Jian Xinghen's, so Jian Xingyun Xingyun had no chance of becoming the Young Pavilion Master, but could only serve as the Pavilion Master's personal disciple. It was only in the past few years that Jian Xinghen had not made any progress in his cultivation, so Jian Xingyun had a chance.
From Jian Xinghen’s narration, Ye Hong also gradually guessed why there was a scene where Jian Xinghen was bullied by his fellow disciples. However, there was one thing that Ye Hong still didn’t understand. Since Jian Xinghen was the biological son of the pavilion master, even if he was not As the Young Pavilion Master, no one should bully him.
After talking about it, Ye Hong knew the reason. Jian Xinghen occupied a lot of training resources because he was the young pavilion master. The sect's training resources were heavily tilted towards Jian Xinghen, hoping to train Jian Xinghen to surpass him. Father, who has surpassed the emperor-level realm of the former Qingfeng Pavilion Master, it can be said that he can provide Jian Xinghen with all good things and satisfy Jian Xinghen with all his requirements.
But because Jian Xinghen has consumed so many cultivation resources and has not seen any progress in his realm, many people in the sect have developed opinions on Jian Xinghen over time.
How come a waste at the ninth level of the Soul Tribulation Realm gets more cultivation resources than those at the Nascent Soul Stage Dharma Phase Stage? The disciples below are dissatisfied, especially Jian Xinghen, who is the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master. They have the same father, no matter whether they are or not. The difference in treatment between biological children is so huge, it makes no one feel good.
This also led to the relationship between the two being not very good, and they often had conflicts. Jian Xingyun was more popular than Jian Xinghen. Many people in the sect respected Jian Xingyun. It was normal for Jian Xinghen to be bullied like this.
According to Jian Xinghen, normally these fellow disciples would not treat him like they did today. As long as he was in Qingfeng Pavilion, no one would bully him. It was just because he happened to meet those fellow disciples when he came out alone this time. A little friction, but not being able to defeat them resulted in a scene of being bullied.
Although Jian Xinghen said this, Ye Hong still saw that Jian Xinghen must have been bullied more than once before. Jian Xinghen's dodge and forced laughter when he spoke were concealing the fact. This night Hong Tai was very familiar with it. He had never been like this before.
The biological son of the master of the Qingfeng Pavilion is so messed up that he can be bullied by the disciples of the sect at will. His status in the Qingfeng Pavilion can be imagined.
But no matter what, Jian Xinghen was also the young pavilion master before, and he knew more than the ordinary disciples in Qingfeng Pavilion. Ye Hong felt that he was lucky. He was lucky enough to meet Jian Xinghen before arriving at Qingfeng Pavilion. There is no one left, at least the news about the key sword should be available.
Sure enough, when asked about the key sword, Jian Xinghen knew about it.
"Are you here to get the keys and swords?" Jian Xinghen instantly understood the purpose of Murong Jingxue and the others coming to Qingfeng Pavilion.
After Ye Hong got along with Murong Jingxue during this period, he could see some of Murong Jingxue's character. At such times, Murong Jingxue would behave coldly and arrogantly, and at this time he looked like he would not let strangers approach him, so The matter of communicating with Jian Xinghen naturally fell on Ye Hong.
"Yes, you just need to take us to see your pavilion master." Ye Hong communicated with Jian Xinghen.
Jian Xinghen nodded, his eyes always peeking at Murong Jingxue unconsciously, wanting to say something but not daring to say it out, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Naturally, these actions of Jian Xinghen could not escape Ye Hong's eyes, but Murong Jingxue didn't say anything, and he couldn't say much. Maybe Jian Xinghen was just curious about why he couldn't see Murong Jingxue's face clearly, so he didn't think much about it. Then he asked:
"This key sword must be a very important thing to your sect, right? Has your Qingfeng Pavilion ever lent out the key sword before? If you know how to tell us, we will have a better idea. Look, What resources can be obtained in exchange?"
Jian Xinghen replied: "I don't know much about this. I just know that our sect does have the key sword. I heard from my grandpa that it is an important item to open the ruins of the Sword Master. I don't know how much the key sword is worth." do not know either."
In order to be mentally prepared in advance and know what it would take to convince the master of the Qingfeng Pavilion to change to the key sword, Ye Hong could only ask in a sideways manner: "Based on your experience, what do you think your sect is most in need of right now?" What is it?"
"What is missing? Our sect lacks nothing. Well...if we really lack something, it should be cultivation resources! However, cultivation resources are scarce for any sect, and our sect is not in urgent need of this. Sir, why do you ask this?"
"It's okay, just asking casually, aren't you going to guide us! Isn't it right to introduce your sect to us casually? By the way! You said your grandfather broke through the shackles in seclusion. Is he very strong? What is his current state? Yes?" Ye Hong said casually as if chatting about everyday things.
Jian Xinghen felt that what Ye Hong said made sense. Although he was a little wary about why Ye Hong was asking questions, he glanced sideways and saw that Murong Jingxue also wanted to know. Jian Xinghen didn't care about so much, and had no wariness at all. Seven Twenty-One Yehong asked all the questions that he knew.
What is the cultivation level of his own father, how many wives he has, how many elders there are in Qingfeng Pavilion, what realms they are in, what they are good at, what is Qingfeng Pavilion's sect-crushing secret, and some sect gossip.
Hearing this, Ye Hong was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a time when his routine was so smooth. Jian Xinghen seemed to be completely defenseless against the two of them, and was slightly trying to please them.
Unknowingly, while chatting, several people had arrived at the mountain gate of Qingfeng Pavilion. Because of the leadership of Jian Xinghen, they entered Qingfeng Pavilion smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
After entering Qingfeng Pavilion, I also saw many disciples sarcastic and sarcastic towards Jian Xinghen behind his back. They looked down upon Jian Xinghen and it would be an exaggeration to say that Jian Xinghen was a waste.
But Jian Xinghen seemed to be used to it, and turned a deaf ear to the words of those disciples, acting as if he had not heard them. However, he was a little embarrassed, and acted too ashamed to face Murong Jingxue directly.
Ye Hong believed that the attitudes of these disciples in the sect towards Jian Xinghen had changed. It was impossible for the master of Qingfeng Pavilion not to know these things.
Ye Hong was really curious about the attitude of the master of Qingfeng Pavilion, Jian Xinghen's father, towards Jian Xinghen. What kind of father could be so indifferent to his own son, allowing his disciples in the sect to bully his own son without stopping him.
