Sun Zikai and Cheng Xu waited for four days by the shore of Dole Lake before other disciples of the sect arrived one after another. Regarding the fact that the two of them went to deal with the ghost horned rhino arrogantly early and ended up with a broken leg, the three disciples were probably Complaints, even if there is contempt and ridicule, will not show up on the surface.
It seems that the strongest disciples of each generation of the sect are not ordinary people, and their methods of hiding their thoughts are very sophisticated. Only Sun Zikai, who can clearly see the flow of energy under different emotions of people, can see through whether their thoughts are good or evil.
The one who is best at pretending is probably a disciple of the Chixi Sect. He has an ordinary appearance and is a fifth-level qi practitioner. His name is Deng Xinqiao. He only complained once, but he showed concern in every aspect and kindly donated his medicine, but he was covered in The air flow was filled with sarcasm and schadenfreude. He was waiting to see the two people making fools of themselves, as well as the jokes of Yan Mingzong and Dongchen Sect.
A girl came from the Tianyao Sect. She was the same age as Sun Zikai. She was thirteen years old. She was practicing at the ninth level and was ready to build the foundation. She was also the one with the highest level among the disciples who came. Her name was Luan Yu. Luan Yu also had contempt for her. However, he acted very indifferently. He was unhappy that Yan Mingzong did not send Ma Yuhong, but sent a fool who practiced Qi. In fact, Ma Yuhong and Luan Yu were dismissed by their respective families after the last meeting between the core disciples of the sect. The partners made an engagement.
The one who came from the Five Angers Sect was a disciple of the Wei Sect, which was beyond everyone's expectation. He was a young man with a snakeskin bow on his shoulder. He was practicing at the fourth level of Qi. His name was Xie Jiaming. He was the only one among the three who had no respect for Sun Zikai and Cheng Xu. Anyone who showed his emotions and thoughts, although he complained symbolically at the beginning, soon sat quietly aside, his appearance and expression were very similar to Gao Yang of Yan Mingzong. Maybe everyone who practices weapons must be careful. A realm as clear as water.
The elder from Chixi Sect is actually very young, only in his early twenties. He is a man. It seems that he has just been promoted to the elder. His realm is the second level of Guyuan Realm. His name is Ge Liang.
Ge Liang severely criticized Sun Zikai and Cheng Xu, and said that he would inform the five sects of their actions. Sun Zikai asked Ge Liang to send Cheng Xu back to Dongchen Sect behind his back.
Ge Liang agreed. After all, there was only one ghost-horned rhinoceros in the Xia Ke Mountains, and there was no need for so many people to attack it. This was just an opportunity for the sect's strongest disciples of the same generation to communicate.
Sun Zikai put Cheng Xu on his back and ran towards the Dongchen Sect, running for more than thirty miles without stopping.
Cheng Xu advised: "Junior Brother Sun, after traveling for such a long time, you should rest for a while. How can your body be able to bear it?"
"I don't feel tired." Sun Zikai was indeed not tired, but Cheng Xu felt that he was risking his life and hurriedly said that he was not in a hurry and it would be okay to go slower.
The two talked about everything, but mostly they exchanged spiritual energy skills. Cheng Xu was not angry because Sun Zikai had learned the secret skills of his sect, but was willing to teach him more skills. However, due to the relationship between the sects, , Sun Zikai can't really learn it either.
"Brother Cheng, is there a girl named Wen Yiru in Dongchen Sect? She joined the sect about two years ago."
"Yes, you actually know her. She is Elder Li Si's apprentice. Last time in the acquaintance pavilion, she asked Ma Yuhong about the person in the Yanming Sect who is also a girl. What is her name Jin?"
"Jiang Yujin."
"Yes, that's her. Do you know her?"
"We know her. I sent her to the Dongchen Sect. Jiang Yujin and I originally wanted to enter, but unfortunately, I am not qualified to enter."
"That's the Dongchen Sect's loss. Talents like Junior Brother are something that every sect can only dream of." Cheng Xu sighed again and said, "Elder Li Si rarely accepts disciples. This time he accepted Wen Yiru. It’s really two-minded.”
"Huh? Is he lustful?"
"No, no, no," Cheng Xu quickly explained, "He is very wealthy. Junior Sister Wen seems to come from a noble family thousands of miles away. She is full of treasures. Elder Li Si took a fancy to this."
Sun Zikai probed: "When I gave it to her, she didn't take many things."
"She brought a big package with her, and everything was in there. I also heard that the package was already in Elder Li's hands."
Sun Zikai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Wen Yiru was not as stupid as Jiang Yujin and did not expose the secret of her bracelet. Instead, he used the treasures in the ring to gain status for himself.
The path of the two did not pass through the barbarian territory, but went around to their destination from the other side.
On the way, Cheng Xu paid for a carriage. After driving for three days, he changed horses. Six days later, he finally arrived at the north side of Qunying City.
Qunying City was more prosperous than any other city in front of Yanmingzong. Sun Zikai did not miss the luxury there, but walked around the city wall and rushed all the way to the Dongchen Sect located on the easternmost side of Qunying City.
Relying on Cheng Xu's identity, the journey was smooth and the Dongchen Sect was Sun Zikai's ideal sect. There were no factions here, but there was a clear and distinct class network. The structure of the inner and outer sects was the same as that of the Yanming Sect, but the outer sect was full of people. It can also be practiced.
Because the Dongchen Sect adheres to the system of keeping secrets outside the sect and making them public within the sect regarding the way of cultivation. Any disciple can read the method of getting started with spiritual energy, and they can also receive sect tasks and replace them with higher-level practice methods.
Dongchen Sect also has the largest number of elders among all sects, and it has become a ranking method. There are six levels of elders under the sect leader. The elders of the next four levels have to play the role of unconditionally helping the disciples, and all expenses are paid by the sect. Only the elders of the first two levels will be assigned as masters one-on-one or multiple-on-one.
The Dongchen Sect under such a system gives practitioners the greatest degree of freedom. When disciples enter the sect, they may rely most on wealth, but after entering, they rely more on talent and hard work. Therefore, the Dongchen Sect It is a famous "den of geniuses", with masters emerging in endlessly.
Sun Zikai was also a guest from the outer sect, and as the representative of the strongest disciples sent by the Yanming Sect, he received good hospitality from the Dongchen Sect, but everything changed after the arrival of a woman.
Sun Zikai finally met Cheng Xu's master, Fu Zhe's fiancée, a woman with a face like snow, a body like a willow, agarwood in her manner, and a chill in her eyes. Her name was Mou Qiuhe.
Mou Qiuhe came for Sun Zikai. She picked up Sun Zikai from the stool and dragged him out of the house.
The waiters in the room looked at each other, but they did not dare to offend the woman.
Sun Zikai sensed Mou Qiuhe's bad mood, so he didn't resist and followed closely on tiptoes. After about half a stick of incense, he was thrown into a house.
There was a person kneeling in the yard. It was Cheng Xu who had just been carried out for treatment in front of Sun Zikai. When Cheng Xu was being treated, he told what happened in the Xia Ke Mountains, but he did not beat Sun Zikai to the ghost corner as promised. When I told Xi's story, I only talked about how I was careless for a moment and was finally saved by Sun Zikai at the risk of his life.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Mou Qiuhe grabbed him from the bed and threw him on his knees in the courtyard.
She blamed Cheng Xu for not listening to the elders' advice to be careful, but what made her even more angry was that the person who saved him turned out to be a disciple of Fu Zhe.
Even with both legs broken, Cheng Xu endured the pain and knelt down, and cast a gloating look at Sun Zikai. Mou Qiuhe sat at the table in the courtyard.
Without saying a word, Sun Zikai knelt down in front of Mou Qiuhe and shouted, "Greetings, senior."
"Oh, why are you kneeling to me? Your master is not me." Mou Qiuhe said sarcastically.
"Of course my master is not you, but you are my master's fiancée, so naturally you are my disciple's master's wife. It is only natural for disciples to kneel to their master's wife."
Mou Qiuhe slammed the table and said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Palm!"
Sun Zikai slapped the right side of his face, but then asked: "Did my disciple make a mistake?"
"How dare you humiliate me!" Mou Qiuhe was angry.
Sun Zikai looked serious and replied: "Where is the talk of humiliation? Doesn't anyone in the Yanming Sect know that my master Fu Zhe's fiancée is Miss Mou of the Dongchen Sect? Even if my master is a libertine..."
"Who are you calling a prodigal?"
"Um, no," Sun Zikai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My master has been in Yan Mingzong all these years, and he has not had a single maid by his side. He has been elegant and indifferent throughout his life, and he has never lived in the world."
"Ha." Mou Qiuhe sneered.
Sun Zikai continued: "Although Master and Senior Wu Lanmu were close when they were young, Senior Wu Lanmu only cared about the body of the beast. My Master treated him as a close friend, but a confidante was just a glimpse. As time went by, , it faded away. Master often told me that he had done many wrong things in his life, but he had no chance to start over again. He often used wine to relieve his sorrow. On that August night, he was alone in the bamboo forest and rubbed the moon. Tears, I painted an autumn lotus in the house that night."
Mou Qiuhe looked confused and asked after a long time: "Really?"
"Yes, Master put the painting in the book of secular affairs. When I was cleaning Master's room, I found it. There seemed to be a line of small words written on it. Unfortunately, it was blurry and I didn't recognize it."
Sun Zikai looked very sincere, and Mou Qiuhe knew Fu Zhe best. She knew what kind of disciples a person like Fu Zhe would accept. She didn't realize that the kid in front of her was very proficient in making jokes and pretending. She thought Sun Zikai and Fu Zhe were very good at it. Like Zhe, they all adhere to the stereotyped style of writing.
Sun Zikai struck again while the iron was hot and said: "When I joined Master, I actually wanted to change my common name. Master gave me a name with the word regret, but later gave up and told me that there is no way back in life. I hope I will never be like him. I was wrong every step of the way. After I made an engagement with my classmate, Miss Jiang, Master called me that night and told me that a man must never break his promise and that I must never pay Miss Jiang wrong. Although Master did not tell me clearly, As I am by Master's side day and night, I know how much Master regrets what happened back then, but he has no choice but to visit the senior every time to express his regret."
"Really?" Mou Qiuhe asked suspiciously, "But every time he comes, his teachings and methods are very different from what you said."
"Haha," Sun Zikai said with a bitter smile, "Master, don't you know what kind of person my master is? He has a steel knife under his butt, and he can still keep his expression straight. It's difficult to ask him to lower his head. It's difficult. He just lacks a decent step. It's just the next one, hey, in fact, he hasn't met senior Wu Lanmu for a long time, and they have become strangers to each other for a long time. Everyone in Yanmingzong knows that my master is thinking about Miss Mou of Dongchenzong in his heart."
Mou Qiuhe's face turned red and he clenched his hands tightly. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Cheng Xu's face turned red, and he tilted his head and stared at Sun Zikai in disbelief. He didn't understand why this kid could talk such serious nonsense. Isn't he afraid of his master's wrath when he arranges his master's reputation like this outside?
