Behind the screen, Ancestor Mingyuan was leaning half-tilt on the long table. The firelight dancing at the far end dimmed his figure, leaving a beautiful "ink" mark on the white silk of the screen.
But at this moment, Yunlang had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. Zhu Kun's warning echoed in his ears, and the man's gloomy eyes reflected in front of him, and his thoughts were complicated.
"It's hard to make a decision, isn't it?" After an unknown length of silence, Mingyuan Ancestor's soft voice rang out, "This is how things are in the world, and they often put us in a dilemma..."
"Back to ancestor! Disciple has made a decision!" Yun Lang's eyes suddenly became firm when he heard this.
"Oh? Tell me..."
"This disciple is not relying on his own merits, he just feels that the overall situation should be the most important thing! Although this disciple cannot bear to let Lu Chun leave, to be honest, his own strength is not good enough. Even if he stays in the Yuhu Sect, it will only increase his troubles. But I have the confidence to bring the Jade Pot Sect to a higher level in the future! Ancestor! Please believe me, I will definitely bring the Jade Pot Sect to a new level, and I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of you and the master of the East Peak. !”
"Okay! Just now I was worried about how I would persuade you to stay if you insist on leaving. Since your attitude is so determined, I am relieved!" Ancestor Mingyuan said with satisfaction, and then he glanced in the direction of the door. Suddenly there was a smile: "You can leave..."
…
"Why is there no movement at all after Yunlang has been in there for so long?"
Lu Chun had been waiting outside the main hall for a long time. Because his legs were stiff from standing for too long, he simply sat cross-legged in front of the door. It was just that he sat until his legs were numb, but he still didn't see Yunlang come out.
He patted his butt and stood up, peering through the crack in the door and looking inside, but he only saw a vast white fog and couldn't see anything clearly. Then he almost laid his whole body on the door, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
"Ouch..." Yun Lang was lying on the door with his limbs spread out, but he didn't expect that the door would be opened at this time. He couldn't react in time and could only scream in surprise and fell into the door.
Yun Lang felt a dark shadow coming towards him, and subconsciously hid to the side. Only later did he realize that this person was Lu Chun.
"Yun Lang, you finally came out!" Lu Chun stretched his neck and glanced into the main hall, then pulled Yun Lang out of the door, "What did the ancestor say to you? Did he promote you? Don’t forget to take care of me!”
Yun Lang looked unnatural for a while when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "Ancestor didn't say anything... I still have something to do at Dongfeng, so I'll take the first step..." After saying that, Yun Lang left here without looking back. at.
"This guy...why is he so mysterious..." Lu Chun just shrugged and didn't care too much.
"Outside, what are you doing standing still? Come in quickly!"
While waiting outside, Lu Chun's mood did not fluctuate much, but when he heard his ancestor calling him, his breathing and heartbeat accelerated unexpectedly.
"Yes... Ouch..." Lu Chun stumbled and agreed, but he almost tripped over the threshold under his feet, and his already nervous mood became even more complicated.
He looked around, secretly speechless. He thought that the main hall of the Jade Pot Sect should be magnificent, but he didn't expect that it was much empty.
"Huh?" Lu Chun's eyes flashed out of the corner of his eye, and he saw a shadow flashing across the house on one side. He rubbed his eyes and looked intently, but all he saw was nothing, so he just thought he had seen it wrong and continued to move forward. go.
Then he saw a figure on the screen, writing something.
Lu Chun originally wanted to salute, but when he saw the man's hands moving non-stop, he didn't bother him. Anyway, he had just rested enough on the ground, so he simply stood there and waited.
An unknown amount of time passed, and Lu Chun, who was waiting at the spot, was already yawning repeatedly, but a sudden sound of writing made him shake up and regain his energy.
"You're such a patient kid. Now that we're all here, why don't you warn me?" A soft voice came from behind the screen.
Lu Chun hurriedly explained: "Ancestor, when my disciple saw that you were busy, he didn't dare to disturb you..."
"Hahaha... Now there are four peak masters taking care of the Yuhu Sect. I have long been the hands-off shopkeeper. Why else do I have to be busy? This is just some leisurely elegance..." Ancestor Mingyuan laughed loudly.
This was the first time for Lu Chun to "meet" Ancestor Mingyuan, and he always felt that the cheerful man in front of him was quite different from the rigid and serious person in his imagination, which was also quite unexpected. However, this feeling made him feel as if he had returned to the time he spent communicating with the old lady, and a warmth suddenly arose in his heart.
The figure on the screen just said a simple sentence, stopped moving his hands, leaned over and looked over: "What do you think of the Jade Pot Sect?"
"Ah?" Lu Chun didn't expect that Ancestor Mingyuan's topic was so off-topic. He didn't react for a moment, and then he hurriedly bowed and said: "Ancestor, the Yuhu Sect is the leader of dragons, the source of all sects, and the An existence like a mountain standing tall! And..." Lu Chun started talking incessantly, copying everything he knew and didn't know.
But when the Mingyuan Ancestor opposite heard this, he didn't have any emotion. He just said calmly: "This is just a compliment that the world is bragging about. Don't you have your own ideas?"
"This...this is what the disciple thinks..." Although Lu Chun said this, secretly he felt guilty.
"Hahaha... It's just you and me here. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. I, the hands-off shopkeeper, won't blame you." Ancestor Mingyuan seemed to have seen through Lu Chun's thoughts and chuckled.
"Really?" Lu Chun couldn't believe it. After all, he still didn't know why he was summoned here. He always felt that the Mingyuan ancestor who couldn't see his true appearance was suspected of "fishing for law enforcement."
"Of course, if you take it seriously, will I still lie to you?" Ancestor Mingyuan didn't expect the man in front of him to be so cautious, and suddenly felt interesting.
"Then disciple, just say it straight..." Lu Chun then thought about it and thought that he seemed to have nothing to lose, so he simply broke the jar and threw it, "Old Ancestor, in the beginning, the disciple really respected the Jade Pot Sect. The feelings are natural! But when I truly became an entry-level disciple, I suddenly felt that the Jade Hu Sect seemed... impersonal..." Lu Chun stamped his feet and finally spoke out the thoughts he had been holding in his heart.
"Oh? How do you say this?" Ancestor Mingyuan seemed to be very interested in this topic. He actually put away his reclining posture and sat up.
"Old Ancestor, my disciples have been joining the Yuhu Sect for a long time. They have discovered that although the sect is orderly on the surface, the boundaries under the order are very obvious! Take the handyman disciples as an example. Although they are called miscellaneous They are servant disciples, but they mostly have the function of handymen, and they are just dispensable roles in the Yuhu Sect! As far as I know, there are also many tough-minded people among these handyman disciples. As long as they can receive guidance, they can achieve success. They can be extraordinary! It's a pity that because of their status, they cannot be taken seriously by others, and they can only be unknown throughout their lives!"
"If the strong ones in the Yuhu Sect are compared to the mountains, the weak ones are the abyss! Nowadays, the mountains and the abyss in the Yuhu Sect coexist, which is a dangerous scene! But as long as the mountains can be used to fill the abyss, the Yuhu Sect can be The dangerous land of Zong has turned into a smooth and smooth road..." Lu Chun became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes filled with infinite enthusiasm.
"Hahaha... A man who fills up the abyss with mountains..." Ancestor Mingyuan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he clapped his hands and laughed.
"Although I didn't establish the Jade Pot Sect in a hurry, it was for my own selfish reasons. I never considered these things! Now when I hear you talk about it, I actually feel a little enlightened! I have been taught..."
"Old Ancestor, this is just a quick remark made by a disciple to express my foolish opinion... I am frightened and dare not accept these words!" Lu Chun shrank his neck in shock when he heard this and hurriedly explained.
"They say monsters are hypocritical, and people are not what they seem! They often want to be recognized, but they also like to pretend to be humble..." Ancestor Mingyuan snorted coldly and said lightly: "It is obviously worthy of praise, but it is not a shame. Why can't you just accept it openly?"
Hearing that Mingyuan Ancestor was angry, Lu Chun was also nervous for a while, and was even more convinced that Mingyuan Ancestor's previous words were "fishing" in order to get himself to take the bait.
"Ancestor, this disciple has realized his mistake..." Lu Chun said with a mournful face, not daring to breathe.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not targeting you, I'm just expressing my feelings..." Ancestor Mingyuan's tone returned to normal again and became gentle, "I've talked too much, let's get back to business..."
When Lu Chun heard this, he became nervous again. He wanted to tear off his ears and throw them across the screen, for fear of missing a word.
"For some reasons, only one of you two can stay in the Yuhu Sect, so I summoned you this time just to see what your attitude is towards this matter..." Ancestor Mingyuan said to him before Yunlang simply repeated what he said.
"What?" Lu Chun's pupils trembled when he heard this. He originally thought that he had made some mistake recently to attract the attention of his ancestor, but he did not expect that he would receive such a difficult choice.
"Ancestor...what did Yun Lang say..." Lu Chun was silent for a moment and then asked.
"You don't have to worry about anything else. You can only decide your own affairs." Ancestor Mingyuan said calmly, "I will give you time to think about it, and let me know when you have decided."
Lu Chun frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Disciple has decided!"
"Huh?" Such a short time does not allow people to think. Lu Chun's decisiveness surprised the ancestor Mingyuan, "This matter is definitely not a child's play. I advise you to consider it carefully."
"Thank you, ancestor, for reminding me..." Lu Chun grinned, "It's just that my disciple feels that this matter is completely unnecessary."
Ancestor Mingyuan probably understood something after hearing this. Since Lu Chun already had that kind of innovative idea, it would be understandable even if he didn't want to leave the Yuhu Sect! However, although he had already made a guess, he did not rush to speak. Instead, he waited for Lu Chun to state the results himself.
"Disciple has made a decision, I choose... to leave the Jade Pot Sect!"
"What!"
