Chapter 409: The road is narrow
readx;?ā Xuanzong?"
As soon as the gatekeeper disciple said this, the faces of everyone in the hall changed, and Lu Haoqian, who was still immersed in the grief of the crisis in the holy realm just now, was even more shocked when he heard the name of Xuanzong at this moment, and stood up directly, and a pair of sad and angry eyes flashed with a faint look of disdain.

"Elder Xuanzong?" Ji Yuan speculated with a frown, "Could it be that he is here to avenge the Emperor's Sect?"
"How many people are coming?" Xie Yun turned his cold gaze directly at the disciple guarding the door, and asked in a solemn tone, "How is the momentum?"
"There are only a dozen people who have come, all of them are dressed in Xuanzong robes, it doesn't look like they are here to make trouble, among them are two men and one woman, and among these three people, this Xuanzong elder named Ao Guang is the leader!" the disciple of the gate frowned and replied cautiously as he pondered, as if he was afraid that he had missed some information.
"Two men and one woman?" This remark aroused Lu Yifan's interest, and he saw his eyebrows raise slightly, "They are all elders of Xuanzong?"
"This disciple doesn't know!" The disciple at the gate frowned and looked at Lu Yifan cautiously, but his afterglow undoubtedly caught a glimpse of Han Ling'er on the side, and immediately a faint look of surprise flashed between his eyebrows, "Returning to the sect master, the woman outside the mountain gate looks quite similar to Madame......
"Yi'er!" Before the disciple's words fell, Ji Yuan, who was originally frowning, suddenly changed his face, and then he didn't care about explaining to Lu Yifan, only to see his feet move, and the whole person swept out of the main hall like a gust of wind and ran towards the mountain gate.
"Could it really be Ji Yi'er?" Lu Yifan was also secretly speculating, and then ordered loudly, "Xuanzong has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's go! After saying that, Lu Yifan took Liu Sandao, Han Ling'er, and Xie Yun and followed out quickly.
At this moment, outside the mountain gate of the Soul Sect, three carriages and more than a dozen people dressed in Xuanzong's robes were standing there without arrogance or impatience, and forty or fifty Soul Sect disciples had now surrounded them, staring at the people of Xuanzong one by one, and the swords in their hands were also unconsciously raised in front of their chests, they all understood the relationship between Xuanzong and Huangzong, so they subconsciously thought that Xuanzong was not good, so they would behave as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Tut-tut, I can't imagine that the famous Soul Sect in the southwest is so timid and afraid!" The radiant Xuan Fang was standing behind Ao Guang at the moment, his elegant robe was now covered with patches of snow, and he looked quite chic and handsome, his eyes looked around at the nervous Soul Sect disciples, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a faint smile, "There are only a dozen of us here, don't you have tens of thousands of disciples in your Soul Sect, why should you be so jealous of us?"
"What is there to wait until we see our sect master, there is no need to say more!" a Soul Sect disciple led by him replied loudly, "But I advise you to unload your blades now, this is the rule of our Soul Sect!"
"Joke! The old man is an elder of Xuanzong, does he still care about the rules set by a yellow-mouthed child?" Ao Guang doesn't have such a good temper as Xuanfang, and he Dongfang Su sent him to Xihuang Mountain in person, Ao Guang already has a little resignation in his heart, you must know that in the things that can make Elder Xuanzong come forward, the most bad thing has to be a big scene like the Heavenly Grace Competition. In Ao Guang's heart, the Soul Sect and the little Lu Yifan who came to persuade him to surrender were not worth it at all.
As Ao Guang spoke, his elegant white eyebrows were stained with a few snowflakes again, which made his face even more unhappy, Ao Guang glared at the disciples of the Soul Sect angrily with a pair of old eyes, and shouted: "Is this the hospitality of your Soul Sect?" The old man came all the way, and it didn't matter if you didn't serve tea and snacks, he even let us stand in the snow all the time and wait, hum! This Lu Yifan is really a big shelf!"
"Elder Ao, they are just some disciples who don't care about anything, it's useless for you to be angry with them, let's put out the fire, wait a while!" Ji Yi'er comforted softly, Ji Yi'er's face at this moment can be described as extremely complicated, she doesn't know what kind of attitude to face Ji Yuan and Lu Yifan now, after all, she once betrayed them, but Ji Yuan and Lu Yifan don't care about their previous suspicions, and they have saved her life, if it is said that Ji Yi'er has good intentions towards Ji Yuan and Lu Yifan now, it is not easy to say, but the kind of outright hatred that used to be is absolutely impossible to mention now. This also made her always immersed in a kind of anxiety along the way, and the more as Xihuang Mountain approached, the stronger the anxiety in her heart, if you have to use one word to describe Ji Yier's mentality on this trip to Xihuang Mountain, I am afraid that 'nervous', 'anxious', 'worried', 'sad and angry' These are not enough to represent her state of mind, at this moment, only with the word 'panic' can we get a glimpse of Ji Yier's feelings.
Yes, it was a little bit of trepidation, and a little bit of fear. In fact, it's a little funny to say, because even Ji Yier herself doesn't know what she is afraid of.
"Yi'er!"
Just when Ji Yi'er was in deep panic and his heart was in turmoil, a familiar and unfamiliar excited voice suddenly came from inside the mountain gate, and then he saw a burly figure that directly crashed into the Soul Sect disciples who were blocking the surroundings, and then stood abruptly in front of Ji Yi'er and the others, although there were Ao Guang and Xuanfang in front of Ji Yi'er at this moment, but in Ji Yuan's eyes at this moment, the two were like air, and they couldn't hide his excited and apprehensive eyes that stared at Ji Yi'er tightly.
"Yi'er ......"
"Who are you?" Seeing that Ji Yuan, who was excited, was just staring at Ji Yi'er blindly, and dared to ignore himself, Ao Guang's old face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, and he asked lightly in a calm voice.
"Elder Ao, this person is one of Lu Yifan's henchmen, Ji Yuan!" Xuan Fang hurriedly explained.
"Ji Yuan......" Ao Guang thought for a moment, and then nodded suddenly and said, "I remember, you are the down-and-out young man with divine skills who participated in the Heavenly Grace Competition back then!"
I think that Ji Yuan was the biggest dark horse of that Tianen Competition, so although Ao Guang was high, but he also left a deep impression on him, and now a few years have passed, Ao Guang saw Ji Yuan again, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and the down-and-out boy of the year has now grown into a dignified man.
"Haha...... Elder Xuanzong is here, my little soul sect is really shining!"
Just when Ao Guang had just recognized Ji Yuan's identity, Lu Yifan's hearty laughter had already come from not far away, and then he saw that the Soul Sect disciples who were surrounding had made way one after another, and Lu Yifan walked out with Han Ling'er, Liu Sandao, Xie Yun and others without hurrying.
"Lu Yifan!" For Lu Yifan, Ao Guang still remembers it vividly, after all, he was the first place in the Tianen Competition, and more importantly, Lu Yifan won the championship in one fell swoop with only one external skill. Such a shocking thing happened to such a special teenager, I'm afraid that even if Ao Guang wants to forget it, he can't forget it, right?
"Yi'er, you're here too!" Lu Yifan just nodded slightly at Ao Guang, he was the same as Ji Yuan, and directly set his eyes on Ji Yi'er behind Ao Guang, with a kind smile in his eyes. And Han Ling'er stared at this legendary Ji girl who looked similar to her with a pair of curious eyes, you must know that when Ji Yuan first saw Han Ling'er, he had recognized someone, so it was not difficult to see that there were indeed many similarities between Han Ling'er and Ji Yi'er.
Just when Han Linger looked at Ji Yi'er carefully, out of a woman's intuition, Ji Yi'er also cast her surprised gaze the moment Han Ling'er appeared, when she saw Han Linger's stunning face, a familiar strangeness also shocked her, she was not unfamiliar with this face at all, because she would see it when she was dressing up in the mirror every day.
"I really didn't expect that there are really two people who are so similar in this world!" Tang Ruoxi, as a bystander, couldn't believe her eyes after seeing Ji Yi'er, she looked at Ji Yi'er and Han Ling'er repeatedly, although there were still many differences in the appearance of the two of them, but that god-like feeling made people confuse their eyes, and her mouth sighed again and again, "Are you really not biological sisters?"
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, one is the eldest lady of the Han family, and the other is the real daughter of the Ji family, the two are thousands of miles apart but look so similar, it's really interesting!" Wu Mei laughed, and walked straight to Ji Yi'er's side as she spoke, her porcelain doll-like face was full of excitement, although she was laughing, her eyes were already filled with tears, "Yi'er, do you remember me?"
"Are you ......" Ji Yi'er was also a little stunned, she finally withdrew her gaze from Han Ling'er's body, but when she saw the martial sister standing in front of her, a touch of kindness suddenly rose in her heart, but no matter how she recalled, she always couldn't identify the identity of the martial sister, "Are you...... Have I seen you before?"
"I'm Sister Wu Luzhu!" Wu Mei finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, she suddenly stepped in front of Ji Yi'er, and before Ji Yi'er could react, Wu Mei had already opened her arms and hugged her tightly, "I'm Wu Luzhu, do you remember me?" When we were children, we fled from the Zhuo Wolf Grassland to the Wu Village together......
"Wu Luzhu ......" Ji Yi'er silently repeated Wu Mei's name at that time, and unconsciously, her clear eyes were covered with a layer of tears, "Sister Wu Luzhu...... You're Sister Wuluzhu......"
"Yi'er!" Wu Mei heard Ji Yi'er's call, and a smile bloomed on her face again after a long absence, "Yi'er, I finally saw you again, I thought I would never see you again......"
Wu Mei once fled tens of thousands of miles with the young Ji Yi'er, and she was definitely Ji Yi'er's life-saving benefactor, if she didn't have the care of Wu Luzhu's sister at that time, I was afraid that Ji Yi'er would have starved to death and frozen to death on the street. Therefore, even if Ji Yier has more resentment towards Ji Yuan in her heart, she can only be grateful and kind to Wu Mei. For a while, the two women had already cried into tears, but Wu Mei cried more sincerely and sincerely. In contrast, Ji Yier is much calmer and much calmer.
"Ahem!Yi'er, don't be in a hurry to talk about the old things, don't forget that we still have something to do!" Ao Guang seemed to be very tolerant of Ji Yi'er, even if he was left aside for a long time, he didn't lose his temper, but there was a little displeasure in his tone, you must know that compared with Ao Guang, who is invincible on weekdays, it is definitely like two people. Lu Yifan, who was observant, suddenly realized this matter, so he couldn't help but look surprised in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yi'er, and he was secretly speculating in his heart what kind of identity and status Ji Yi'er was in Xuanzong, which made the elders of Xuanzong so polite to her.
"Isn't the business done?" Liu Sandao looked innocent, looked at Ao Guang with a smile, and said jokingly, "Isn't the right thing you want to do is to send Ji Yi'er home?" Now that she has arrived home, I will first thank you Xuanzong for taking care of him for so many years, as for Ji Yi'er's food and drink expenses in your Xuanzong over the years, I will let Wencai take you to the account room to calculate it later! Don't worry, you will only calculate more, and you will never lose anything! Our Soul Sect is very fair and reasonable, hehe...... If there is nothing to do now, you can go back, remember to say hello to your master Dongfang Su on behalf of our sect master!"
"Haha......" Liu Sandao's nonsense made Ao Guang unable to interject at all, and his remarks also caused the surrounding Soul Sect disciples to laugh.
Yin Xi and Liu Meng even greeted the disciples of the Soul Sect in a good manner, intending to send them off.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xuan Fang shouted angrily, "Who told us that we came to send Yi'er? Yi'er's home is in Xuanzong, what does it have to do with you?"
"Oh, aren't you here to give it away?" Liu Sandao asked with a pretended puzzlement, "Seeing that you guys are dressed like coachmen, am I misunderstood?"
"You are presumptuous! This is our Xuanzong Elder Ao Guang, how can you speculate here!" Xuan Fang shouted coldly.
"Oh!" Liu Sandao nodded suddenly in realization, and then he actually beckoned the Soul Sect disciples left and right, and bowed to Ao Guang together, and greeted him vigorously, "Come on, come on, come with me to see Soul Sect Elder Ao ...... Excuse me, what's the name Ao?"
"Master Liu, his name is 'Ao Porridge'......"
"No, no, no, people are obviously called 'Ao Ye'......"
"Haha......"
For a while, Liu Sandao took Yin Xi and Liu Meng and these people to laugh unscrupulously in front of the iron-faced Ao Guang, causing everyone to laugh with ill intentions from time to time.
Xue shame, this method is the most direct and effective, Liu Sandao has never forgotten how Xuanzong let out his words in the first place, and slapped the Soul Sect and Lu Yifan with a resounding slap, and now that an elder of Xuanzong has come to the door, how can Liu Sandao and these Soul Sect disciples let go of the opportunity to humiliate him?
"Lu Yifan, is this the Soul Sect you created?" Ao Guang's face sank like water, and in his capacity, he naturally would not deign to meet Liu Sandao and Yin Xi in general, but directly pointed his words directly at Lu Yifan, "How come this is a group of ruffians in the eyes of the old man? If you can't manage your people yourself, my Xuanzong can discipline them for you!"
"No need!" "No need!" Without waiting for Ao Guang's words to fall, Lu Yifan suddenly chuckled and said, as he spoke, he also stretched out his hand to stop the laughter of Yin Xi and the others, "I will teach my people myself, so I won't bother you Xuanzong, Elder Ao Guang has come all the way, I don't know what to do?"
"Hmph! The people below don't understand the rules, don't you, the sect master, know the etiquette?" Ao Guang slammed his hands back behind his back, raised his head slightly and didn't look at Lu Yifan with his eyes, and just said coldly, "Don't you Soul Sect poor don't even have a cup of tea?"
"Originally, we prepared not only tea for the guests, but also excellent wine and food!" Lu Yifan pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "It's just that someone said that they didn't want any guests from our Soul Sect to come to the door, so I ordered someone to throw all these good wines, good dishes, and good tea prepared for the guests on the mountain to feed the wolves! Now Elder Ao Guang wants to drink tea, but Lu doesn't dare to go to the wolf's den to take it out for you, Elder Ao Guang may not know that this group of wolves in Xihuang Mountain is particularly grudgeful!" Someone wants to steal their tea, but I'm afraid that if they don't die, they will have a little meat!"
Listening to Lu Yifan's words, Ao Guang's face couldn't help but change color for a while, and his beard trembled slightly because of anger, but he finally held back, after all, this trip to Xihuang Mountain was ordered by Dongfang Su, if things don't work well, he will really be in big trouble after he goes back.
Ao Guangqiang endured the anger in his heart, and said in a stiff tone: "Sect Master Lu should know that I didn't come this time to grab tea, otherwise I wouldn't have brought only a few disciples!"
"Of course!" Lu Yifan glanced sideways at the dozen or so people who were following Ao Guang, especially when he saw Ji Yi'er glaring at Ji Yuan with an angry gaze, Lu Yifan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then sighed lightly in his heart, and then turned his body slightly sideways, stretched out his hand to Ao Guang and made a gesture of please, and said with a light smile, "Although the tea has been thrown away, there is still water." Now that it is the cold winter when the moon is snowing heavily, if Elder Ao Guang does not give up, please follow me up the mountain for a while, and I will order someone to prepare some hot water for everyone who comes from afar to warm up their bodies first!"
"Sect Master Lu, please!" Ao Guang was quite polite, and instead of mocking Lu Yifan again, he actually took the initiative to arch his hand at Lu Yifan, as if he had a low posture of intention.
"Please!"
Seeing this, Lu Yifan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the mountain with Ao Guang and the others.
The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although Lu Yifan still doesn't know Ao Guang's intention, but this trip to Ao Guang is only a dozen people, Lu Yifan is naturally confident, and he doesn't dare to make any trouble.
Although Ao Guang had already stepped into the door of the Soul Sect, how could the cup of hot water that Lu Yifan had prepared for him really be so easy to drink?
