Chapter 149
On Jade Girl Peak.
Seeing Shen Yutong lowering his head and looking red with shame, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with you? What's written in that booklet?"
"No...nothing," Shen Yutong hurriedly ran towards the wooden building.
Shen Luoyan's face gradually became serious, and while walking towards the building, she asked:
"Yutong, what do you think? Do you believe what Xiao Yanlong said?"
Shen Yutong's voice came from the second floor:
"Second sister, even if I go home, no matter how many geniuses and treasures my father finds, they can't save me. Then why don't I believe that Xiao Zhan can really live a few more years?"
Shen Yutong's voice was trembling:
"Although the 'surgery' Xiao Zhan mentioned sounds scary, I'm not afraid!"
Shen Luoyan's eyes gradually became firm, but she did not forget to remind:
"His name is Xiao Yanlong, and the name Xiao Zhan is not allowed to be mentioned in the future."
"Oh, I know," Shen Yutong came down from the stairs and said with red eyes:
"Second sister, if I can't come back, tell your father and mother that I will never forget them."
Shen Luoyan quickly turned around to prevent her sister from seeing the tears welling up in her eyes.
The next day, early in the morning.
Geng Zhi hurriedly climbed to Xuanjian Peak.
He shouted to Xiao Zhan who was sitting on the edge of the cliff meditating:
"Junior Brother Xiao, hurry up, the Eighth Elder wants you to go to the Purple Bamboo Forest."
Xiao Zhan opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Geng Zhi with confusion on his face, "Eighth Elder? What can the Eighth Elder do to me?"
Thinking of the scene where the Eighth Elder forced the Purple Winged Tiger King to lie on the ground with a casual sword strike, Xiao Zhan frowned deeper and deeper.
The first thought in his mind was whether he had been exposed.
After going over what happened after he came to Qingzhou, Xiao Zhan was sure that there was nothing revealing.
Moreover, the mask given by Third Elder Yan Long was also very good, and there would be absolutely no flaw visible when worn on the face.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan nodded and stood up:
"I'm going to the Purple Bamboo Forest."
Purple Bamboo Forest is relatively far from Xuanjian Peak, and it took Xiao Zhan two hours to get there.
Walking into the purple bamboo forest, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt a chilling air, and couldn't help but hold the handle of the Red Dragon Sword with his backhand.
He looked around with vigilance, feeling that there was endless sword energy coming towards him in the bamboo forest.
The extremely strong pressure made all the bones in Xiao Zhan's body rattle.
In the air, a few bamboo leaves slowly fell.
When it was about to fall on Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt an unprecedented crisis.
He drew his knife suddenly!
The next moment, these bamboo leaves collided with the Red Dragon Sword like sharp blades.
Xiao Zhan flew out instantly and slid on the ground for more than ten meters before he came to a stop.
"Not bad," a calm voice came from deep in the bamboo forest.
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly:
"I wonder what the eighth elder ordered me to do?"
The laughter of the eighth elder came from the depths of the bamboo forest:
"What, don't you dare to come in?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "I really don't dare."
"Why don't you dare? There's something wrong with you?"
Xiao Zhan said nothing.
After a long time, two figures flashed across the bamboo forest.
The Eighth Elder stood with his hands behind his back, standing on a bamboo branch calmly.
Next to him, an old man with gray hair and sharp eyes was also looking at Xiao Zhan.
The old man said expressionlessly: "At the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm, I have risen to a small level in just a few days, and my talent is quite good."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Zhan:
"Boy, I don't like your eyes."
"You are unruly and have no fear in your eyes. Some people may praise you, but I say, you don't know the heights of the world and you won't live long."
The eighth elder chuckled: "Old Jiu, you and I have exactly the opposite views."
"The disciples of the Qingtian Sect are all too dull. I just like this kind of ignorance."
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, but inserted the Red Dragon Sword into the scabbard with his backhand.
The ninth elder spoke expressionlessly and asked:
"Fang Qunfeng came to see you. Please explain why he went to see you, a new disciple?"
Xiao Zhan frowned: "The Fang Qunfeng the senior mentioned was the uncle who climbed to Xuanjian Peak that day?"
The Ninth Elder's eyes turned cold, "Answer me, why did he go to see you?"
Xiao Zhan frowned deeper:
"That uncle went to Jade Girl Peak and saw someone living on Xuanjian Peak. He climbed to the top on a whim, took a look and left."
"Lie!" The ninth elder's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he exuded a powerful coercion: "Then why did you go to Fang Yu the day after you entered the sect?"
"Is this a coincidence? Do you want to say that you are also passing by?"
After hearing the ninth elder's question, the eighth elder looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile on his face, as if he was also waiting for Xiao Zhan's answer.
Xiao Zhan showed no fear on his face and said slowly:
"Before I entered Qingtian Sect, I knew neither Senior Uncle Fang Qunfeng nor Senior Brother Fang Yu. It was indeed when I passed by Fangcun Mountain that I went up to take a look out of curiosity."
"Although I don't know why my senior asked me this, but even if I am asked to answer ten thousand times, I will still say this. I didn't know them before."
The Eighth Elder suddenly smiled and said:
"Aren't you afraid of death if you answer this way?"
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head, "Of course I'm afraid."
"So I can't talk nonsense."
The Eighth Elder nodded, "You really don't know them?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I don't know him."
The eighth elder laughed loudly, looked at the ninth elder and said:
"Lao Jiu, did you see that? People are not afraid of you because they are open-minded!"
The Ninth Elder snorted coldly, turned around and left the Purple Bamboo Forest.
The eighth elder looked deep into the bamboo forest and said slowly:
"Come out."
Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu walked over from the depths of the bamboo forest and stood in front of Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan hugged the two of them and asked with confusion on his face:
"Uncle Fang, senior brother Fang Yu, what did the senior want to ask just now?"
Fang Qunfeng shook his head, "It has nothing to do with you."
Fang Yu also nodded and said:
"You don't have to be afraid. It was just a routine inquiry. As for what happened, you don't need to know."
After saying that, Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu clasped their fists at the eighth elder, then turned and left.
Xiao Zhan stood there and asked lightly:
"Eighth Elder, can I go?"
The eighth elder shook his head and said with a smile:
"Don't you want to know what happened to the uncle and nephew? Let me tell you?"
Xiao Zhan's eyes darkened, "Senior wants to talk, so of course I dare not not listen."
"Interesting," the Eighth Elder laughed, "There is a disciple named Liang Xin who said that Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu tried to kill him."
"Do you know Liang Xin?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head.
"Oh, look at my memory, you have just entered Qingtian Sect a few days ago," the smile on the eighth elder's face gradually disappeared and he continued:
"Fang Qunfeng said that he and Fang Yu did not assassinate Liang Xin, and everything was framed by Liang Xin."
"Because Liang Xin hated Fang Yu, his sister died to save Fang Yu."
At this point, the eighth elder's eyes gradually turned cold, "But Liang Xin said that he was assassinated because he discovered that Fang Qunfeng and Fang Yu had an ulterior secret."
"Liang Xin also said that Fang Yu has been secretly investigating the affairs of Huangzhou."
"Huangzhou, you should know, right?"
Xiao Zhan nodded: "Huangzhou, I know."
The eyes of the Eighth Elder bloomed with murderous intent:
"Then what do you think about this? Is Liang Xin lying, or are the uncles and nephews of the Fang family lying?"
Xiao Zhan looked serious:
"I don't know, so I won't speculate."
The Eighth Elder’s face was once again filled with smiles:
"But what if I have to let you speculate?"
Xiao Zhan was silent for two seconds and said:
"Some time ago, Li Yu from the famous Sword Sect released news that Senior Brother Fang Yu was hanging out with the remnants of Huangzhou."
"This incident caused quite a stir at the time."
"Now, that senior brother Liang Xin also said that senior brother Fang Yu is investigating the matter in Huangzhou."
"In my opinion, that senior brother Liang Xin might not have anything to do with Li Yu?"
"Or maybe he doesn't want to make Senior Brother Fang Yu feel better. After all, Elder, you just said that his sister died to save Senior Brother Fang Yu, and he hates Senior Brother Fang Yu."
The smile on the eighth elder's face disappeared, and no emotion was revealed:
"So, are you on Fang Yu's side?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "The elder forced me to guess."
"If senior insists on killing me, there is no need to find these reasons."
The Eighth Elder looked directly into Xiao Zhan's eyes, and when he saw that Xiao Zhan's expression was as usual, he suddenly burst into laughter:
"When you took the entrance exam that day, I said something. The knife on your back is a good knife, and the sword is also a good sword. It's a pity that you didn't find a good master."
"You were hiding your strength at that time, and you were not worthy of the domineering power of this sword and sword."
"But you are worthy of them now."
After speaking, the eighth elder showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes:
"Shen Luoyan is my disciple. You have met me too. Why don't you also become my disciple and become my second direct disciple?"
Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Eighth Elder!"
Wang Chongyang nodded with satisfaction, "You can go back first. From the first to the third day of every month, you can come to attend classes. If you have any questions about your daily practice, you can also come and ask me."
Xiao Zhan thanked him again, then turned and left.
The moment he walked out of the purple bamboo forest, the smile on Xiao Zhan's face immediately disappeared, and he walked towards Xuanjian Peak expressionlessly.
By the time we returned to Xuanjian Peak, it was already afternoon.
Shen Luoyan has been waiting with Shen Yutong at the top of Xuanjian Peak for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Zhan coming back, Shen Yutong quickly smiled and said:
"Brother Xiao, where have you been?"
Xiao Zhan said nothing and walked straight into the wooden building.
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly, and instantly noticed something was wrong with Xiao Zhan.
"Come in and talk."
Hearing Xiao Zhan's solemn voice, Shen Luoyan looked at Shen Yutong and said, "Wait here."
After saying that, Shen Luoyan walked into the wooden building alone.
Room on the second floor.
Xiao Zhan looked at Shen Luoyan expressionlessly and asked in a deep voice:
"Shen Luoyan, have you thought about it?"
Shen Luoyan nodded and asked, "Are you in trouble?"
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, "As for your sister, now that you have decided, go back and pack your things, use the excuse of returning to your Shen family to leave the Qingtian Sect, and then quietly go to Blue Mountain City to wait for me."
"Also, we can't inform your Shen family about this matter!"
Shen Luoyan frowned deeper. She heard something unusual from Xiao Zhan's words, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
Just at this time, a straightforward voice sounded outside:
"Junior Brother Xiao, the Eighth Elder asked me to give you a personal disciple identity card."
Hearing this, Shen Luoyan's eyes were filled with surprise: "Has my master accepted you as his direct disciple?"
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, walked downstairs quickly, and took the identity tag from Geng Zhi.
Geng Zhi saw Shen Luoyan following him downstairs at a glance, and immediately laughed:
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Luo Yan for having an additional junior brother."
After saying that, Geng Zhi winked at Xiao Zhan: "I just said that junior brother may be accepted as a personal successor, and it has become a fact in the blink of an eye. Junior brother Xiao, you have to treat me to a drink in a few days."
Xiao Zhan nodded, and after Geng Zhi left, he lowered his voice and continued:
"No one can tell you about your coming with me, including seniors Fang Yu and Fang Qunfeng!"
I don't know why, Shen Luoyan, who has always been decisive, is retreating now.
But when she saw the expectant Shen Yutong outside the door, her eyes instantly became firm:
"Okay! We'll wait for you in Blue Mountain City!"
