Chapter 40: Straight to the point
Shen Mutian took another deep look at him, then turned around and walked towards the inside of the main hall. Qi Xia Yuanjun had actually come, sitting on the second floor, and glanced at him lightly, with a wise and transparent light in his eyes.
Shen Mutian was also calm, and bowed respectfully: "Master, the disciple has inquired, Helian Qiqing is afraid that he is here with extraordinary intentions, and it may be on behalf of the Ghost Xia Sect." The disciple felt that he couldn't just let him in so smoothly, if he represented the Ghost Xia Sect, he should kill his arrogance. ”
Qi Xia Yuanjun nodded and said, "It's not unreasonable for you to do this. The Ghost Xia Sect has always been on good terms with us, and this time their young master personally went out, so I think it should have something to do with Lin Lan. Fortunately, now that she is building a teleportation array in the dungeon, then Helian Qiqing will be handed over to you, and you know what to do. ”
Shen Mutian was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and replied, "Disciple understands. ”
After saying a few words, Qi Xia Yuanjun said: "Okay, it's almost hot, you go and bring that Helian Qiqing in." ”
Shen Mutian nodded, walked outside the door, and saw that although Helian Qiqing had been left out in the cold for a long time, he didn't care about it, just looking around and enjoying the surrounding scenery, very leisurely.
As a young master of the sect, he is so calm, either he is really open-minded, or he is too scheming, Shen Mutian felt that Helian Qiqing belonged to the latter no matter how he looked at it, and he couldn't help but cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points.
"Young Master Helian, my master is waiting in the hall, please come with me." He said tepidly, not enthusiastically and not coldly.
Helian Qiqing didn't care, and only smiled slightly: "I'm tired of Shen Daoyou." ”
And he walked in with him.
The main hall used by the Ethereal Immortal Sect to welcome guests is divided into two floors, and according to the identity of the visitor, ordinary people are received in the hall on the first floor. The people who came forward to receive them were also different, all of them took over the task from each peak, and their cultivation was high and low. The two-story hall is much smaller than the first-floor hall, and it is specially used to receive people of status and status. For example, at this moment, Helian Qiqing broke into here as the young master of the Ghost Xia Sect, and with his status, it was not an exaggeration to let Qixia Yuanjun come forward to receive him, so he chose to be on the second floor.
Although Helian Qiqing was a little arrogant and arrogant, he was not a reckless person, facing the sect master of the Ethereal Immortal Sect. He still behaved decently, behaved like a courtesy, and there was no place where people could be disrespectful.
Qixia Yuanjun also seemed to be very kind and friendly, but he greeted him with the relationship between his predecessors and juniors. This is also the cunning of Qixia Yuanjun, it stands to reason that one of them is a monk of the Yuanhou Dynasty. One is a monk in Yuanzhong, and his cultivation is not much different. It should be dealt with as equals. But Qi Xia Yuanjun is not wrong in terms of age and generation, Helian Qiqing's elders. If you start from this aspect, the two will become the relationship between the elders and the juniors, and they will press Helian Qiqing's head.
Originally, Qixia Yuanjun was also ready for Helian Qiqing to turn his face on the spot. When a person is perfect to a certain level, then it is fake, if you can manage to provoke the other person at this time, once you get angry. The flaws in the original flawless demeanor will be revealed, which is quite helpful for them to thoroughly understand Helian Qiqing's intentions.
But he didn't expect Helian Qiqing to follow Qi Xia Yuanjun's meaning, without the slightest sign of anger, which suddenly made Qi Xia Yuanjun and Shen Mutian feel like they had punched cotton. It doesn't hurt or itch, but it is extremely depressed in my heart. The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and the jealousy of Helian Qiqing in their hearts was even more aggravated.
After some greetings, Qixia Yuanjun put the topic on the right track, and said with a slight smile: "Helian Xian's nephew, you are heroic and have a pivotal position in the Ghost Xia Sect, this time you came to my Ethereal Immortal Sect, I think you must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, right?" I don't know what to advise? ”
Helian Qiqing smiled and said without concealment: "The sect master is too pretty. The kid is just a trick, in terms of talent, how can he compare to Shen Daoyou? Don't hide it from the sect master, the kid came this time, but he came for Lin Lan. She and the boy wandered in a different continent, supported each other, and finally returned to their homeland. The kid has an extraordinary relationship with her, and after he came back, he didn't thank her in person, and he was really worried about it, so he came to visit in person, and asked the sect master to fulfill it. ”
Qi Xia Yuanjun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so outspoken, he really didn't react for a while, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Mutian.
This look was startling, only to see that Shen Mutian's always gentle and indifferent face was cloudy at the moment, and the originally clear and bright eyes were surging in an instant, making it impossible to see what he was thinking clearly. There was a treacherous aura emanating from him, and if someone with a slightly worse cultivation touched him, he would inevitably break out in a cold sweat.
Qi Xia Yuanjun frowned suddenly, and coughed lightly, but it was like thunder in Shen Mutian's ears, which suddenly woke him up from his anger, and then his heart sank, and he recalled Fang Cai's situation, and immediately raised his vigilance.
Helian Qiqing didn't seem to see Shen Mutian's gaffe at all, and still stood in this hall so casually, waiting for Qixia Yuanjun's answer idly and indifferently.
Qi Xia Yuanjun's eyes couldn't help but become a little more solemn, put away his smile, and said lightly: "The young master is a step late." Lin Lan has already gone to retreat and cultivate, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you. ”
Helian Qiqing's expression remained unchanged, obviously not believing Qi Xia Yuanjun's words at all, so he said with a smile: "This is really unfortunate!" I wonder when she'll be able to get out? ”
Qi Xia Yuanjun looked at him with some embarrassment and said, "This kind of thing is retreat, presumably the virtuous nephew also knows the way, and there is never a fixed number. Maybe she will come out in three or five days, or maybe it will take thirty or fifty years, if the virtuous nephew wants to wait for her to come out, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
Helian Qiqing smiled and said, "How come? Sect Master, don't be kidding me, she still has the task of building a transcontinental teleportation array, how can she be in retreat for thirty or fifty years? I'm afraid it will come out in two days. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qixia Yuanjun, who would not change color even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, suddenly couldn't help but change his face slightly. His mind was racing—who was the ghost? Lin Lan built such a secret thing as a teleportation array, and even their parents didn't tell them, where did Helian Qiqing hear about it?
"Young Master Helian, I don't know where you heard that your junior sister was building a teleportation array!" Shen Mutian took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, was too lazy to beat around the bush, and simply asked directly.
Helian Qiqing smiled faintly and said unabashedly: "At the beginning, we used the teleportation array to come back together, but after I got home, I didn't have a long talk with her because I was in a hurry to return home. But I know that Lu Dao, she has always been an eager character, if you don't know Lu Dao, it's just that, now that you know Lu Dao, she will naturally try her best to get one out, I don't know if I'm right? ”
Shen Mutian obviously didn't expect Helian Qiqing to know Lin Lan so well, and he suddenly didn't know what to say for a while. A strange emotion echoed in his chest, and he only felt some pain in his heart, and the flames of anger seemed to trap his whole body.
He glanced at Helian Qiqing coldly and said, "Young Master Helian really looks up to our Ethereal Immortal Sect too much, and he also looks down on Lin Lan too much. Even if she saw the transcontinental teleportation array at that time and wrote down the formation pattern, what was the use of just having the formation pattern? It was almost impossible for her to restore a transcontinental teleportation array. ”
Helian Qiqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Shen Daoyou is afraid that he doesn't know too much about Lin Lan's formation technique!" In my opinion, her understanding of the formation has already reached the realm of a grandmaster, coupled with the luck that has always been against the sky, I am afraid that this formation has already been thoroughly eaten by her, right? ”
Shen Mutian's face was gloomy, it was not good to answer, it was not good not to answer, and he was speechless for a while.
Helian Qiqing didn't delve into it, but just smiled faintly: "Sect Master, I want to talk to Lin Lan alone, so before she leaves the customs, can you take me in for a few days!" When I saw Lin Lan and finished what I wanted to say, I left immediately and never broke my promise! ”
Qixia Yuanjun was embarrassed in his heart, and he definitely didn't want Helian Qiqing to stay in his heart. You must know that a person as smart as him can be used by him for the slightest sign, and if he lives here, there is a danger that his secrets will be leaked at any time.
But......
He pondered for a while, then looked at Helian Qiqing, his eyes were solemn, but he said lightly: "If the virtuous nephew doesn't dislike our Ethereal Immortal Sect, then if he is willing to stay, he will live his chin." But I still have to say it in advance, if Lin Lan doesn't come out for decades, are you willing to wait for decades? ”
Qixia Yuanjun had nothing to say, so he called Shen Mutian to send Helian Qiqing out of the city, and arranged his accommodation by the way.
The Ethereal Immortal Sect is a huge sect, and naturally there is a special place for guests to rest and stay. Shen Mutian arranged this place for him, but he couldn't see a mistake at all.
Helian Qiqing didn't pick it, and walked in indifferently.
After placing Helian Qiqing, Shen Mutian returned to the main hall, and Qixia Yuanjun still maintained the one he was sitting on, with a solemn expression, not knowing what he was thinking?
"Master, I'm back." He said respectfully.
Qi Xia Yuanjun glanced at him at this time. He asked lightly, "Is he dissatisfied with our arrangement?" ”
Shen Mutian shook his head.
Qi Xia Yuanjun then sighed and said, "This person is not simple! No matter what we do, he always responds to all changes with the same, if I guessed correctly, he has already guessed what Lin Lan is doing, and this time he came to the door, maybe he just wanted a piece of the pie!
