Chapter 39: The Price of Growth

"Sect Master. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A call woke Zhan Bai up, and he followed the sound, only to see that he was surrounded by disciples from the Sword Prison Villa.

Zhan Bai's face was confused at first, but he was quickly relieved.

The current dungeon is actually the world of Sword Hell Villa.

In such a busy city, he was assassinated, how could he hide it from the eyes and ears of the sect.

"Hmm." Zhan Bai Muran nodded, and with a strong hand, he hugged the Wen Ren Lang spy in his arms, and then turned around and greeted Situ Wuregret not far away.

In this way, one big and one small plus a corpse walked out of the crowd so slowly, and finally disappeared at the end of the street.

The death of the spy gave Zhanbai a great shock.

The dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, Wen Renlang spies chose loyalty before, and at the same time used their lives to fulfill "righteousness", no matter what, for such a loyal and righteous person, Zhanbai admires it in his heart, not to mention, he is still a brother who once worshipped him.

This made Zhanbai begin to reflect on his past for the first time.

Although Wei Zhen died, the main responsibility lies with his demon clone. And at that time, the demon clone had lost control and had its own will. However, Zhanbai knew very well in his heart that although the demon clone at that time had an independent will, his character was inherited from himself.

The same indifference, the same ruthlessness.

Therefore, this cause and effect will ultimately fall on you.

The assassination of Zhanbai has obviously spread. It's just that, whether out of trust or worship, not many people are worried. Despite this, when Zhanbai returned to the sect, he still received the attention of many disciples along the way.

"Sect Master." Chu Chi greeted him, and originally wanted to take the corpse from Zhanbai's hand, but when he saw the corpse's face clearly, he withdrew his outstretched hand.

Regarding the grievances between Zhanbai and Wei Zhen and Wen Renlang spies, as the old man of the sect, he is still clear.

The three of them used to have a bad relationship, and even married Jin Lan. But in the end, Wei Zhen betrayed the sect master for various reasons. The relationship between the three finally broke down. Until forty years ago, the demon clone of the sect master, under the pretext of Wei Zhen's premeditated assassination, destroyed Tianquan Mansion. In that battle, from top to bottom, almost all the gangs in the entire Tianquan Mansion were spared, and only one person disappeared mysteriously.

It's just that I didn't expect that Wen Renlang Spy would endure it for so many years, and he didn't show up again until today, and he was the assassin sect master who died.

"Chu Chi, find a treasure of feng shui and bury my brother." Zhan Bai stopped in front of Chu Chi and took the initiative to hand over the corpse of Wen Renlang's spy.

"Yes." Chu Chi promised, took the corpse very carefully, and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Zhan Bai stopped Zhan Bai, and then gently removed the Xuankong Ring from Wen Renlang's fingers, pinched it between his fingers, and said to himself: "Quan should leave a thought." ”

Looking at the figure of Chu Chi leaving, Zhan Bai finally sighed, he still had a lot of things to do, and he really didn't have much time to be sad.

The dead are gone, and the living are like this.

Let's turn this page like this.

"No regrets, you come with me." After letting go of the Wen Ren Lang Spy, Zhan Bai regained his spirits, said to the children around him, and then walked in the direction of the Xiao Sword Hall with his hands behind his back.

……

The Sky Sword Hall represents the core of the power of the Sword Hell Villa, and next to it is a mansion built specifically for the Sect Master.

In the study room of the mansion, the white horse golden knife sat at the top, and there were two teenagers standing in front of the desk, which were Lan Ji's grandson Zhao Xunyou and Situ Wuregret.

The two teenagers were about the same age, standing there, facing the silence of the study, looking very cramped.

"No regrets, from today onwards, you will be my disciple." Zhan Bai held a book in one hand and a chin in the other, and finally spoke.

"The disciple has no regrets, please meet the master." Born in the royal family, although he was young, Situ Wuregret knew the rules quite well, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.

"According to the rules, I was supposed to hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony for you. It's just that I really don't like that red tape, so I'm going to keep it simple today. When I got to my door, there were no special rules. After going down, it's good to familiarize yourself with the rules of the sect. Zhan Bai said simply, and then thought of something, and hurriedly added, "There is also the third elder and youngest under my door, and there is a senior sister and a second senior brother above. I've got someone to call, and I guess it won't be long before you meet them. ”

……

After saying that Situ had no regrets, Zhanbai turned his eyes to Zhao Xunyou on the side.

When he left Liuzhou, he took him with him according to the promise he made to Lan Ji, and after returning to the dungeon, he handed it over to Yin'er and asked her to settle it on his behalf.

Since I want to officially include Situ Wuregret today, let's bring him together.

"Xunyou, I promised your grandmother that if something happened to her, I would take you as an apprentice. Since I met you today, I will accept you as a registered disciple for the time being. ”

"Apprentice, apprentice, thank you." Zhao Xunyou learned from Situ Wuregret and also kowtowed to Zhanbai, but it was not difficult to see from his nervous expression that his temperament was still slightly worse than that of Situ Wuregret.

But this is also the way it should be, after all, although both of them were born in rich and noble families, there is still a big difference in identity.

……

"Apprentice to the master."

Yan Xiu'er arrived first, and just after saluting Zhanbai, Xiao Yatou followed.

In contrast, Xiao Yatou was much more silent, didn't say anything, just bowed slightly to Zhanbai.

It can be seen that Xiao Yatou still feels guilty about the events of the year.

It is precisely because of this that since the last time I saw her in Liuzhou, I have been deliberately avoiding myself.

"Zhanxiao, Xiao girl." Zhan Bai suddenly called out solemnly.

"Brother, disciple...... At. A flash of panic flashed in Xiao Yatou's eyes.

"She's the big sister of the three of you." Zhan Bai changed his voice and said to Yan Xiu'er and the other two teenagers.

Yan Xiu'er turned her head and glanced at Zhan Xiao deeply, for this woman, he had seen it in the battle in Liuzhou a long time ago. At that time, she was still on the opposite side of herself and her master. Even, the fight between each other is merciless. Later in the dungeon, most of the time it was also friend or foe.

All in all, the relationship is extremely complex.

On the other hand, Situ Wuregret and Zhao Xunyou did not have as much as Yan Xiu'er thought, and after hearing Shizun's words, they hurriedly saluted Zhanxiao, and called "Senior Sister" respectfully.

Just this senior sister made Zhan Xiao very flattered, not only the inexplicable addition of two little junior brothers, but more importantly, the deep meaning of this.

This means that Zhan Bai has completely forgiven himself and accepted himself.

"Apprentice, Master Xie." Under the excitement, a layer of blush appeared on Zhan Xiao's beautiful face because of excitement.

"Well, after so many years, I, as a master, have no chance to teach you anything, after you go down, you will go to Qinyin, all the precious exercise books of my Sword Prison Villa are with her, and you can choose whatever you want to learn. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation...... Forget it, there is a hidden child...... You'd better come to me. After all, you no longer have anything to do with Yin'er, and in the way of the sword, that woman may not have the depth of my understanding. Zhan Bai thought about it several times and finally said.

"In vain obey." When she got up again, Zhan Xiao's face had already put on an indifferent smile, and the knot that had been entangled for decades was finally completely untied at this moment, which made her feel a sense of relief.

Zhan Bai nodded, and then turned to Yan Xiu'er.

"Yan Xiu'er, it's the second senior brother of the two of you." Zhan Bai pointed at Yan Xiu'er and introduced to the two teenagers.

Immediately, the two teenagers saluted Yan Xiu'er respectfully again.

"I've seen the second senior brother."

After decades of experience, Yan Xiu'er, who has become extraordinarily calm, also became weird at this moment.

I was just alone before, and I didn't feel it, but who knows, suddenly there was an extra senior sister and two senior brothers, and that strange feeling made him a little distracted for a while.

"Ahem." Zhan Bai coughed a few times before he woke him up.

"Hehe, okay, okay, in the future, we will be a family." Yan Xiu'er laughed embarrassedly twice, and hurriedly said to the two teenagers who were still bowing.

"This is Situ Wuregret, the official disciple I just accepted, the third in line. This is Zhao Xunyou, who is now a registered disciple for the time being. Zhan Bai introduced the two teenagers again, and then fell silent, but his lips were slightly squirming, obviously using the method of transmitting sound into the secret.

Then I saw that Yan Xiu'er's face changed again and became very uncomfortable.

"No regrets, the teacher has been busy with some things recently, and he may not have time to teach you, so for the time being, you will follow Xiao Yatou to cultivate." After Zhan Bai finished speaking, he turned his head and explained to Zhan Xiao.

"No regrets have just laid the foundation, like a blank piece of paper, although the cultivation is low, but it is the best time to lay the foundation. Xiao girl, you take him to Qinyin, just choose the unintentional sword canon, as for the other exercise books, just put it down for the time being, and only allow him to choose by himself after his cultivation reaches the Taiyi realm. ”

……

"In the same way, Xiu'er, I will hand over Xunyou to you for the time being." Speaking of this, Zhan Bai's gaze at Yan Xiu'er was very meaningful.

"Apprentice, apprentice, I'm afraid it's ......" Yan Xiu'er looked embarrassed and wanted to refuse.

"Why, you don't want to?" Roll your eyes and pick them out.

"Master, you know it, I ......" Yan Xiu'er was in a hurry and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Zhanbai.

Zhanbai's previous transmission was said to Yan Xiu'er, and its content was nothing more than an introduction to Zhao Xunyou's life experience.

Zhao Xunyou is the son of Zhao Mingchuan, and he really counts it, and Yan Xiu'er has a grudge against his father. Now the master actually let himself teach the apprentice on his behalf, how willing he is.

"Now this son is still young, maybe he doesn't know, if he knows in the future, he wants to seek revenge on you, and it is all the cause and effect of your creation. So, you have to bear it no matter what. As for the future...... Regardless of whether the ice releases the previous suspicion or the soldiers meet, the division will be impartial and will not interfere. Zhan Bai once again passed the sound into the secret, and finally persuaded Yan Xiu'er.

At the beginning, the main reason why Zhanbai promised Lan Ji to accept Zhao Xunyou as an apprentice was Yan Xiu'er.

This is the cause and effect created by Yan Xiu'er, and it is also a bad fate, and once this cause and effect can be concluded in the future, there will definitely be unexpected benefits to his cultivation. Of course, if Zhao Xunyou grows up in the end and takes revenge on his father, it will be fate.

Growth always comes at a cost, doesn't it?
