Chapter 24: Beware of Your Own People

Shangqing Palace is now divided into three factions, among which the Yujing Hall is the most powerful, and the Yulan Hall is the second, because the head of the sect is in retreat all the year round, and rarely interferes in the affairs of the sect, the disciples and incense of the Taichang Hall where it is located are the rarest of the three factions. And these three factions all have their own attitudes towards Su Zhuo.

Needless to say, Yujing Hall was disgusted with Su Zhuo.

Taichang Hall is in the same vein, and for Su Zhuo, it is much more complicated.

When the eldest princess ruined her marriage, she swept away the face of the Shangqing Palace, and although the disciples of the Taichang Hall had prejudices about this, they were more pity and sympathy. The eldest princess is gone, and Su Jue is said to have been restrained by the sect, and there is no news, and all the grievances and grievances of the previous generation have all fallen on Su Zhuoshang's still immature shoulders, which is too heavy, and they feel that this is not fair. Su Zhuo did nothing in the Shangqing Palace and did not practice, although they were disappointed, they also understood, after all, if it was anyone, in this case, it would be difficult for them to calm down and practice.

As for the Yulan Palace, they ignored this matter, regardless of it, and they had always just watched coldly.

Zhao Ting, who was in the vein of the Yulan Palace, stood in front of the window, looking at the cloudy sky outside, and fell into deep thought.

Li Xuetang walked in, poured hot tea for Zhao Ting on a few tables, and said, "I'm afraid no one thought that Su Zhuo would be able to make a splash." ”

Zhao Ting took a sip, in such a cold weather, a sip of hot tea can still bring a lot of warmth, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard that it is very beautiful to win." ”

Li Xuetang sat down on the ground next to him.

Zhao Ting glanced at it and said softly: "The ground is cold." ”

Li Xuetang was a little funny: "I'm not afraid of people's jokes, the monks who know the god realm have long been indistinguishable from the four seasons." ”

Zhao Ting was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said softly: "In my eyes, you are the same as back then. ”

Li Xuetang smiled gently and said: "Time flies so fast, when Su Zhuo first entered the sect, he was only seven years old, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he can already smash the world with a sword at the Wanghai Banquet." ”

Zhao Ting nodded, although he didn't know how Su Zhuo did it, but after wasting so much time, he still had this amazing potential, and he had to be praised, "It's true, just as anyone would think that in less than twenty years, the little baby girl who was picked up by the head of the family from outside is now unbeatable, and even supported the Taichang Hall with her own strength." ”

The baby girl twenty years ago was the little uncle who could make the disciples of the Shangqing Palace awe just by her name.

Li Xuetang glanced at him, and could see a somewhat complicated look in his deep eyes.

Zhao Ting muttered: "But relying on her alone, it's still a little worse." No matter how talented she is, she is too young after all. And the head of the sect should be beyond the realm of delusion in the near future, and the Taichang Hall does not have much time. ”

Li Xuetang knew that Zhao Ting was unwilling to let Yujing Hall take charge of the Shangqing Palace, and said: "Zhang Jingchen is now not lacking in fame or connections, and in the eyes of many disciples, he is already the next head. ”

Zhao Ting was silent.

After a long silence, Li Xuetang said softly: "Yulan Hall has been looking at it coldly for more than ten years, so it's better to let Su Zhuo come over today." ”

Zhao Ting raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and finally got up after countless thoughts turned in his heart.

"No, I'm going to see him. ”

......

......

When Zhao Ting arrived, Su Zhuo was painting for the young woman who came to admire him.

Zhang Xingyuan looked at him, a little hesitant, "You are the ...... of the Shangqing Palace"

Zhao Ting nodded and said calmly, "I'm here to find Su Zhuo." ”

After Zhang Xingyuan was affirmed by Zhao Ting, he was shocked in his heart. Although he had expected that after the Wanghai Banquet, the attitude of the Shangqing Palace towards Su Zhuo would change, but he still did not expect that Zhao Ting, as the elder of the Yulan Hall of the Shangqing Palace, would put down his body and come to the inn to find Su Zhuo in person.

He didn't dare to let Zhao Ting wait for a long time, so he went to inform Su Zhuo.

Su Zhuo was painting with a pen, and when he heard the news that Zhang Xingyuan said in his ear, he just nodded slightly, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Zhang Xingyuan chuckled in his heart, although he already knew that this young marquis had occasional amazing moves, he didn't expect Su Zhuo to not even sell Zhao Ting's face.

Su Zhuo painted a series of green silks, "Brother Zhang, you go out first." ”

Zhang Xingyuan smiled helplessly, received this eviction order and quietly went out first.

In the side hall, Zhao Ting was sitting calmly, although he didn't show the slightest qi, but just sitting there, it gave people a very unusual feeling, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xingyuan, and asked, "What about him?"

Zhang Xingyuan personally poured tea for him, and said, "The young marquis will come down soon." ”

Seeing Zhang Xingyuan's expression, Zhao Ting faintly guessed something, but just shook his head helplessly, "He's painting?"

Seeing that it had been exposed, Zhang Xingyuan had no choice but to smile and say: "The young marquis has always had this temperament, and the seniors should not be surprised." ”

Zhao Ting was noncommittal, just picked up the cup and took a sip, and suddenly asked: "From Lingjiang to Wanghai City, you have also been in contact with him for a short time, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Zhang Xingyuan looked at Zhao Ting's face and said carefully: "I think the young marquis is an unpredictable person. ”

"Unpredictable?"

Zhao Ting chewed on the word and showed a faint smile, "This word is well used." ”

Zhang Xingyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, the young marquis is a very good person, I have been with him for so long, but I have never heard him say that the Shangqing Palace is not good." ”

Zhao Ting nodded and didn't speak again.

The side hall fell silent again.

Zhang Xingyuan didn't know what to say for a while, his heart was nervous, he looked back, and finally saw Su Zhuo walking downstairs, and suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Su Zhuo bowed, and said calmly: "I've seen Uncle Zhao." ”

Zhao Ting looked at him and confirmed that he really had the cultivation of the Nian Realm, and the feeling of cherishing talent in his heart was even greater, and said, "After all these years, it has not been easy for you. ”

Su Zhuo looked at him.

Zhao Ting continued: "With your talent, you can actually go further, you should not be bound by the grievances and karma of the previous generation, this time back to the Shangqing Palace, my Yulan Palace is willing to accept and cultivate you, what do you think?"

When Zhang Xingyuan heard this, he felt a little relieved for Su Zhuo in his heart, after so many years, he finally got through. Zhao Ting is almost second only to the hall master in the Yulan Palace, and such a big man personally came to the door to win over, this face is indeed very big.

Su Zhuo was silent, but he didn't agree immediately, but said, "Let me think about it." ”

Zhang Xingyuan looked at Su Zhuo incredulously, but he couldn't think of why he refused.

Zhao Ting was also stunned for a moment, as if he felt a little embarrassed, and then said: "There is no problem, after thinking about it clearly, come to me." ”

Su Zhuo gave a salute and said, "Su Zhuo thanked Uncle Zhao first. ”

Zhao Ting said again: "I guess you came to Wanghai City this time not only for the Wanghai Banquet, but also for the Dragon Tide...... However, the dragon sting tide is very dangerous, and you don't have to force yourself to climb the city and look at the sea. One step to heaven sounds good, but it's not realistic, the road has to be taken step by step, and the same is true for cultivation. ”

Su Zhuo was noncommittal.

Zhao Ting shook his head, took a sip of the cup of tea that had been cold, got up and stood up, and asked, "After the dragon tide is over, are you going to go back to Shangqing Palace or Lingjiang first?"

Su Zhuo thought for a moment, "Lingjiang." ”

Zhao Ting nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

He took a step out, and finally said, "You also have to be careful of your own people, if necessary, don't be reckless, and endure a little longer." ”

Su Zhuo bowed his head and said, "Understood." ”

He knew that Zhao Ting was referring to the amazing first disciple of the Yujing Palace, Li Xu, the heavy pupil.
