"The juniors also know that this is a reluctant request, but it doesn't matter if the seniors don't agree, my cousin can also take over this position, so I'll go and discuss with him." Su Qiubai said, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute," Dongfang Yinghua suddenly stopped him, "As far as I know, your cousin has also been away from the mountain for many years and has come back, right?" He is in charge, and he may serve the public? ”

This is also what he is worried about, but there is no better way than that, because Teng Fei is no more convincing than Dongfang Rui.

"If you believe me, I can leave a year later." Dongfang Yinghua said suddenly.

Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, what does this mean?

"One year should be enough time for Dongfang Rui to establish his prestige among his disciples, right?" Dongfang Yinghua continued.

Su Qiubai was immediately overjoyed, it turned out that he meant that he could be the head of the house for them for a year, and as he said, if he handed over the position of head to Dongfang Rui after a year, there would probably be no objections.

"In this way, thank you seniors!" Su Qiubai said.

Dongfang Yinghua waved his hand and said: "Before you unlocked the seal for me, I originally promised to help you rescue your mother, but in the end it didn't help much, and you still relied on your mother's own strength to get out of trouble, if you don't do anything again, I will also feel guilty." ”

Su Qiubai hurriedly shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the help of my seniors, it would be difficult for me to save my mother before Dongfang was coming, and my seniors have already helped me a lot." ”

Dongfang Yinghua smiled, but didn't say anything more.

Now that the most troublesome thing has been solved, Su Qiubai's mood has also relaxed a lot, and he went directly to tell his mother the good news.

The date of the mother and son's departure was set for three days later, and until they left, Dongfang Miao did not go to the prison to see Dongfang Zhengmian again.

Dongfang Rui promised them that he would not kill Dongfang Zheng, but let him spend the rest of his life in the prison in the back mountain, although he lost his freedom, he was not treated harshly, and it was the best ending for him.

Bidding farewell to everyone in the Taiyi Gate, Su Qiubai took Dongfang Miao on the journey back to Jianghai.

Two days later, they finally returned to Jianghai, and Dongfang Miao could only temporarily live with him in Zhou Xin's villa.

Su Qiubai has been gone for less than a month, but his whole person seems to have changed, since he rescued his mother, he has been in a good mood, and the boulder that has been pressing on his heart has only been eliminated at this time.

When they returned to the villa, it was night, so the girls were all at home, and they saw Su Qiubai bring a strange woman back, although they guessed that it might be his mother, but they didn't dare to be sure, because Dongfang Miao looked too young!

It wasn't until Su Qiubai introduced them that they were surprised to affirm that Su Qiubai's mother was so young! It doesn't even look much older than Zhou Xin.

"Auntie, you're so young, so we didn't dare to recognize it just now!" Ruan Yu, who was outspoken, said directly.

Dongfang Miao has been trapped in a cave for many years, and he hasn't seen many people in more than 20 years, so he suddenly saw so many strangers, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Su Qiubai was worried about her mother's embarrassment, and after introducing a few girls, she took her back to the room that Zhou Xin cleaned for her.

After returning to the room, Su Qiubai found that his mother was looking at him with a playful look, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, is there something on my face?" ”

Dongfang Miao shook her head, and said after a while: "Why didn't you tell me before, you live with such a group of beautiful girls?" ”

Su Qiubai knew what she had misunderstood, and immediately blushed, explaining: "They are all my friends, and there is no other relationship, don't misunderstand." ”

The smile on Dongfang Miao's face became worse and worse, and she said noncommittally: "Although we are friends now, we may not be able to do so in the future." You're twenty-seven this year, aren't you? It's also time to get a girlfriend. ”

Su Qiubai hadn't had time to think about this aspect before, so he became more and more embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Now is not the time to think about this, the jade mulberry fruit is still in your body, but since it is ripe, can the roots connected to it be removed?" ”

Dongfang Miaoyan also said with a straight face: "That's right, there is always a small tripod hanging on my back, people who don't know still think I'm hunchbacked, and I usually have a lot of inconveniences, if you can, you can help me take it off now." ”

Su Qiubai confirmed again: "If the tripod is removed, you won't be in danger, right?" ”

Dongfang Miao smiled: "I promise not, I can't interrupt the nutrients of the jade mulberry fruit before, because it is not yet ripe, and now there is no need to make offerings, you can take it off with confidence." ”

Since this is the case, Su Qiubai is relieved, but removing the residual size of the tree roots in her body is also a surgical operation, but he does not dare to take her to the hospital, otherwise it is strange that people will not be regarded as monsters if they grow tree roots.

Fortunately, he can handle such a surgical operation by himself, and he doesn't even need a scalpel, but now that they have just returned to Jianghai, there is no need to rush for a while.

After settling his mother, Su Qiubai returned to the living room, only to find that none of the girls had left, as if they were waiting for him.

"Little White Brother, congratulations on finally successfully rescuing your aunt!" Ruan Yu was the first to speak.

Su Qiubai smiled, sat down directly on the sofa, and said, "You guys are waiting for me here, shouldn't you be here to catch up with me?" Is there something wrong with Jiang Hai again? ”

Zhou Xin shook his head and said, "During the time you left, Jiang Hai has been busy rebuilding, but nothing major happened. However, I do have something to discuss with you, which is about the opening of a martial arts hall in Jianghai City. ”

When Su Qiubai heard this, he frowned and said, "Martial Arts? I remember it's been there before, how do you talk about it well? ”

Zhou Xin and Anya glanced at each other, and finally Anya said: "The martial arts hall was just pediatrics before, and now what Jianghai wants to build is a martial arts hall for practicing the Tao." You've been in the mountains all this time, so you don't know what's going on in the outside world. Since the last time Jiang Hai experienced the puppet thing, almost everyone in the world has known that there are cultivators, so for a while, there have been rivers and lakes warlocks who cheat in the name of accepting apprentices all over the country, and the government has repeatedly banned them, so they decided to open public martial arts halls in various places, and recruit people to cultivate the truth, preach and preach, no matter what the results are, it is finally to stop those who are deceived and abducted. ”

Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, he had heard this kind of rumor before he left, but he didn't expect it to be so big, even the government was alarmed, and he actually set up a public martial arts hall, what kind of rhythm is this?

"You sue me about this, you don't want me to be their master, right?" Su Qiubai asked hesitantly.

Anya shook her head and said, "It's not Master, it's for you to be the hall master." It's hard to say elsewhere, but in Jianghai, if you don't become the boss, who will be convinced? ”

Su Qiubai's head was instantly bigger, he couldn't bear the harassment at the beginning, so he advanced his plan and went to rescue his mother, he thought that after so long, this matter would be calmed down, but he didn't expect it to get worse.

He is not a showy person, and he doesn't like to have an official position. Although the owner of this pavilion is not an official position, he is always the boss. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and he didn't like to be constrained by these, so he directly refused: "Whoever likes to be the owner of this museum, I shouldn't be right anyway." ”

Anya didn't persuade him when she heard this, but said with a smile: "This matter, you go and talk to Mayor Ouyang yourself, and we are only responsible for informing you." ”

Su Qiubai looked at her with a strange expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Why do I think there is a conspiracy here?" ”

Anya gave him a blank look and said, "What conspiracy can there be?" If you don't deserve it, can I still tie you up? ”

Su Qiubai was speechless for a moment, but it was useless for him to refuse here at Anya, let's wait for Ouyang Dong to talk to him about this matter, just pretend that he didn't come back in the past few days.

In the next two days, Su Qiubai first took the Shennong Ding and the remaining tree roots off her mother's back, and sure enough, as she said, the jade mulberry fruit was still safe and sound in her body.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that when he borrowed two artifacts from the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, he promised to return his mother once he rescued him, and now that his mother has been rescued, it is time to fulfill his promise.

Although Xuanyuan Jian has been with him for so long, he is a little reluctant, but after all, it is not his own thing, and he does not want to be a person who breaks his promise.

It just so happened that he was still thinking about escaping the matter of being the owner of the martial arts hall, so it was better to take this opportunity to return these two artifacts, and maybe when he came back, Ouyang Dong would find another hall owner to choose.

After making up his mind, Su Qiubai began to explain to everyone and asked them to take care of Dongfang Miao on his behalf. Hearing that he was going out again a few days after he came back, the girls expressed their dissatisfaction, this guy is always entangled in affairs, and he runs around all day long, but he refuses to stay in Jianghai for a few more days.

However, knowing that he was also going to do serious things, no one stopped him, and after saying goodbye to his mother, Su Qiubai set foot on the Kunlun trip again.

Although it has been seven years since the last time I went to Kunlun Mountain, fortunately, he has an excellent memory, and he has not forgotten the route.

He hurried to Golmud with a light car, and did not even need mountaineering equipment, so he went directly into the mountain.

After all, it was the second time he came, and he still took the same route as the last time. Along the way, he had the intention to look for the traces left by the mountaineering team back then, but found that every qiē had been covered by ice and snow, and seven years was not a long time, but it was definitely not a short time. Looking back on the experience of that year, it seems that it happened in the last century.

In the rest of the journey, he did not encounter any obstacles, and found the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum very smoothly, the entrance to the secret passage that he had hidden was still the original appearance, and it seemed that no one else had patronized it except him.
