After lunch, Chu Qingxiao tidied up and prepared to leave for Ganquan Peak.
Although the invitation sent by Ganquanfeng clearly stated that the banquet would start in the evening.
However, Ganquan Peak is still some distance from Tianxuan City. Even with Chu Qingxiao's pace, it would take several hours to reach the mountainside where the banquet was located. After lunch and on the road, the time was not considered rushed.
Chu Qingxiao walked through the streets of Tianxuan City and came to the city gate on the north side.
This is the first time Chu Qingxiao has come to the North City Gate - the city gate leading to Tianxuan Mountain.
As soon as they arrived in front of the city gate, several disciples guarding the city gate stopped Chu Qingxiao and Lu Sandao who were traveling with him - even though the invitation from Ganquan Peak only invited Chu Qingxiao to the banquet.
But both Song Qingqing and Chu Zhaozhao were extremely worried about this, and both wanted to accompany Chu Qingxiao.
Several people fought for it, but in the end Lu Sandao stood up and said that the Qingquan Brew from Ganquan Peak was the best wine in the entire Tianxuan Mountain. In the past, she wanted to drink it, but the people from Ganquan Peak thought it was a good thing. Very well hidden.
But now that the opportunity was rare, since Zhou Sheng wanted to thank Chu Qingxiao properly, he naturally had to bring out this good product from Ganquan Peak.
Naturally, Lu Sandao couldn't let go of this opportunity, so he volunteered to go with Chu Qingxiao.
But Lu Sandao has always given people a feeling of unreliability, and everyone didn't agree with her at first when they saw that she wanted to have a relationship with Chu Qingxiao.
In particular, Song Qingqing and Chu Zhaozhao's distrust of Lu Sandao was almost written on their faces.
But at this moment, Xue Sanniang suddenly stood up for Lu Sandao against all the opinions. At first, Song Qingqing and others still opposed it, but after Xue Sanniang said something to them, the expressions on their faces softened slightly. Only then did he agree to the proposal.
"Ahead is the sacred peak of Tianxuan Mountain. Non-inner disciples are not allowed to enter. Where are your inner gate tokens?" The disciple guarding the city gate looked at Chu Qingxiao and Lu Sandao and asked with a bad attitude.
Chu Qingxiao smiled and handed out the invitation.
The inner disciple took the invitation, looked at it, and muttered the contents in his mouth.
"Guarding Zhou Sheng at Ganquan Peak, he hosted a banquet for Chu Qingxiao, the chief minister of the Sky Patrol Division..."
As he was chanting, his face suddenly became strange, his voice gradually became softer, and his eyes when he raised his head to look at Chu Qingxiao became horrified.
"Are you the Chief Commander of the Tianxian Division? Chu Qingxiao?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Today is different from the past.
Nowadays, the name Chu Qingxiao can be regarded as thunderous in the ears of ordinary Tianxuan Mountain disciples.
First, he single-handedly forced Bai Tuofeng's elder Jia Lian to death in Xuancheng Pharmacy. Afterwards, Bai Tuofeng not only did not dare to retaliate, Fu Zhengliang, Fu Peak master, even had to be grateful and greeted Chu Qingxiao with a smile.
Yesterday, at his residence, he forced back the people from Ganquan Peak who came to make trouble, and even destroyed the martial spirit of Xiang An from Ganquan Peak in front of everyone, but the same people from Ganquan Peak did not dare to attack him. Chu Qingxiao showed no dissatisfaction, and Zhou Sheng, the guard of Ganquan Peak, also had to be very polite to Chu Qingxiao.
Ordinary disciples of Tianxuan Mountain will naturally not understand this series of things that can be said to be unbelievable to everyone in the past, and what kind of change of power and game between the parties are hidden behind it.
But what they can understand is that Chu Qingxiao is no longer the young man who can be manipulated by others.
For little people, adapting to the wind is a required course for survival.
Facing the other party's inquiry, Chu Qingxiao nodded silently.
The gatekeepers suddenly changed their faces. They nodded and bowed to Chu Qingxiao. They hurriedly opened the city gate and enthusiastically gathered around Chu Qingxiao to introduce him how to get to Ganquan Peak after leaving the city gate.
After saying that, he was worried that his introduction was not clear enough, so he simply sent someone to guide Chu Qingxiao directly.
It took half an hour to bring Chu Qingxiao to the foot of Ganquan Peak. There was no need for Chu Qingxiao to leave. The man went to the gate of Ganquan Peak and exchanged greetings with the disciple guarding the gate to clarify Chu Qingxiao's identity. After confirming that Chu Qingxiao could go up the mountain without any obstruction, he left with peace of mind.
Several disciples who were responsible for guarding the Ganquan Peak Mountain Gate had obviously received the news from the sect a long time ago, and their attitude towards Chu Qingxiao was extremely respectful. They happily welcomed Chu Qingxiao into the mountain gate, and sent someone to report the matter to the mountain gate first. That's why I feel relieved.
…
"Xiao Qingxiao, your status has risen sharply. Everyone in Tianxuanshan has to be polite to you."
"But I, the guard, have to rely on your blessing along the way, otherwise I won't be able to enter the gate of Ganquan Peak." After the disciple of Ganquan Peak left, Chu Qingxiao and Lu Sandao walked side by side towards Ganquan Peak. on the mountain road.
Lu Sandao suddenly spoke, her tone was teasing, and she blinked at Chu Qingxiao with a slightly resentful expression.
The most difficult thing for Chu Qingxiao to resist was Lu Sandao's posture.
He scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's just a false reputation."
"And in the final analysis, it's because Lu Zhenshou doesn't like to show up in public, so others only know your name and don't know you as a person."
"Otherwise, if they knew it was you, Lu Zhen, who was guarding us, they would probably have knelt down to greet them."
Chu Qingxiao comforted Lu Sandao with compliments that he was not very good at.
Lu Sandao was quite impressed by these words. She gave Chu Qingxiao a charming look, leaned towards Chu Qingxiao intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Xiao Qingxiao, you are still good at talking, and you are so good at talking to me. My face is red.”
Chu Qingxiao glanced at Lu Sandao's cheeks that were indeed red, and replied in a neutral tone: "That's because Lu Zhenshou was hungover from yesterday and is still drunk..."
Lu Sandao's face was slightly embarrassed when her cover was exposed. She coughed twice, glanced around, frowned, and muttered: "Something's wrong."
Chu Qingxiao secretly thought that the other party was being embarrassed, so he deliberately changed the subject. He smiled and shook his head, but he did not try to expose it.
But I heard Lu Sandao continue: "Xiao Qingxiao, don't you think this Ganquan Peak is a little strange today?"
As he spoke, Lu Sandao looked around, the expression on his face becoming more solemn.
Seeing her like this, Chu Qingxiao also realized that Lu Sandao didn't seem to be joking with him.
He also turned his head and looked around.
At this moment, the two of them were walking on the mountain road of Ganquan Peak. It was early winter. The leaves on the branches on both sides of the Ganquan Peak mountain road were turning yellow. The mountain road at their feet was also piled with fallen leaves. They made a crisp crunch when they stepped on them. The sound echoed on the mountain road.
Chu Qingxiao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
He actually noticed something strange, but this strangeness was just a feeling. He couldn't say what was wrong, but he felt that there was something wrong with Ganquan Peak.
Lu Sandao frowned and said, "Don't you think this Ganquan Peak is too quiet?"
"Quiet?" Chu Qingxiao muttered these two words, glanced around, and frowned gradually.
Lu Sandao's voice sounded again at this moment: "There are three thousand disciples under the Ganquan Peak Sect, of which there are more than two thousand who are permanently stationed in the sect. But look at our journey along the way, except for those at the mountain gate. Apart from those few people, where else can I see half a human figure?"
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he also thought it was strange, but before he could say anything, Lu Sandao stepped on the dead leaves under his feet again.
"And this mountain road."
"Like other sacred peaks, the several sacred peaks on Tianxuan Mountain all care about appearance. Cleaning up the mountain paths is something that will be put on the agenda of each sacred peak. But look at the fallen leaves on the mountain path. It is obvious that they were blown by the mountain wind last night. Yes, it’s already past noon, and we knew that guests would be there, but the mountain path has not been cleared.”
"Given the way all the divine peaks care about face, this is also impossible to happen."
Lu Sandao spoke again.
Chu Qingxiao frowned when he heard this. He had been chatting with Lu Sandao on the road without paying attention. Now after listening to Lu Sandao's words, he also noticed that this Ganquan Peak was unusual.
Although he knew before coming here that this trip to Ganquan Peak would not be just a simple dinner, but at this moment, it seemed that something had happened on Ganquan Peak.
The Way is to know the subtleties.
From the strangeness on the mountain road, we can know that what happened on Ganquan Peak may be beyond Chu Qingxiao's expectations.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao raised his head and looked at the top of the divine peak. He didn't know if it was Chu Qingxiao's illusion. At this glance, Chu Qingxiao felt that there seemed to be a black air permeating the top of the Ganquan Peak, covering the entire Ganquan Peak. The top is wrapped in it.
Chu Qingxiao looked at that place and said at that time.
"there is always a solution to a problem."
"Now that we're here, no matter what tricks he hides in Ganquan Peak, we have to find out."
"Since you know there is trouble, you still have to break in, Xiao Qingxiao, you are too stupid." Lu Sandao said here.
Chu Qingxiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If possible, who would be willing to ask for trouble?"
"But now Brother Lu, Brother Zuo and Elder Tang are all in the hands of Ganquan Peak. If we choose to escape at this time, Ganquan Peak will not be able to protect us and will take action on them."
"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. I don't want such a thing to happen to him."
Lu Sandao looked at Chu Qingxiao who said this seriously in surprise. She blinked and said: "Xiao Qingxiao, I find that you have become more and more masculine in your speech recently. I can't help but like you." Well, what should we do?"
As Lu Sandao spoke, he deliberately leaned towards Chu Qingxiao's body.
Wearing a wide red robe, she tilted her body and pressed against Chu Qingxiao's body. Chu Qingxiao could clearly see the bust under the other person's clothes through the wide skirt.
Chu Qingxiao's face suddenly turned red.
He let out a violent cough, then turned around and walked towards Ganquan Peak as if running away. Lu Sandao was left looking at Chu Qingxiao's panicked back with a smile on his lips.
