"Quitting the grandmaster, I have admired the name for a long time. A well-dressed middle-aged man approached with a wine glass and a flattering smile on his face.

Ci Yuehua didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

The man was not embarrassed at all, and said, "I didn't expect to see you here, did you come to the meeting on behalf of Kunlun Mountain this time?"

Ci Yuehua let out a faint "um".

Knowing Ci Yuehua's temperament, the man didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this, and still smiled and said, "I don't know if I can give the Grandmaster a drink?"

Toast.

Hearing this, Ci Yuehua raised his eyes and saw the wine glass coming over, and then moved his gaze up, only then did he look at the person who came, his eyes were still cold, and he asked mercilessly: "Are you?"

I don't know you, you came to toast me?

The rest of the people were also quietly paying attention to the movement here, and some couldn't help laughing when they saw this.

The man's face turned blue and white for a while, and he was a little sneering.

Ci Yuehua frowned, he felt that what he said was right, and he didn't know him, so he had to run over to toast, and he didn't report to his house first, why did he drink with him?

The man withdrew the glass a little, and knew that the person in front of him really didn't know him, so he reported himself to the door with a red face.

"The Grandmaster may not remember it, but he is the head of the Zuyang Sect, surnamed Zhang Mingpeng, and we met him half a year ago. ”

"Over there in Yancheng?" he had some impressions of the sect, but he didn't remember the head of the sect, and Ning Yin should have been in charge of it at that time.

Seeing that he remembered, Zhang Peng nodded hurriedly, with a smile on his face again, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, the last time the reception was not good, and I hope that the Grandmaster will have a lot of Haihan." ”

Ci Yuehua didn't have anything to say to him, and after still responding lightly, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, but turned his head to look at the Qingzi who was lacking in interest and drinking and watching the play. "Drink less. ”

Qingzi immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and responded obediently: "Yes, Master." ”

Zhang Peng hadn't left yet, and seeing that he didn't care about himself, he moved his gaze to Qingzi and said with a smile: "Didn't the Sect Master bring that Ning Yin Fairy out this time?"

Ning Yin's matter is only known in the sect, and it has not yet been spread, and Ci Yuehua has not said anything like severing relations, and people outside don't know anything about it.

Ci Yuehua naturally won't mention this matter now, and is going to wait for him to be caught and interrogated before dealing with it, but at this moment, he only said vaguely: "No." The latter question was directly skipped by him.

Generally, when encountering such a situation, it is basically equivalent to others not wanting to talk to you, and smart people should retreat, and I don't know what this Zhang Peng has in mind, he still stays here and does not leave, looking at Qingzi and asking Yuehua: "Is this the beloved disciple of the well-known grandmaster?"

Qingzi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, it seems that her name as a beloved disciple has spread really widely, and she has heard it many times alone.

I used to think that the master was biased, they were all biased to the other two, but now the partiality is only partial to herself, is this reliving a lifetime of God to compensate herself?

This time, Ci Yuehua said two more words, and he said, "Well, her name is Qingzi." When he introduced Qingzi, his complexion was much gentler, and even the corners of his mouth had a hint of a smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng understood, and instantly grinned: "Qingzi Fairy is really extraordinary, she is already famous all over the world at a young age, and she is really terrifying!"

Qingzi hooked her lips and said politely: "Thank you for your compliment." ”

Zhang Peng smiled happily and said, "If there is an excellent talent like you in my sect, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

opened the topic on the matter of mentioning Qingzi, Zhang Peng naturally grabbed Qingzi to speak, and saw this side = very happy to talk, a few people couldn't sit still and gathered around, and when they heard the words, they also interjected: "What Brother Zhang said is, no wonder there are three disciples under the Grandmaster's seat and the one I listen to the most is this Qingzi Fairy, who is indeed good enough, I heard that I have just started for half a year and followed the Grandmaster out on a mission?"

Qingzi replied: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I have the love of my master, and I have the opportunity to go out with my master to increase some knowledge." ”

Another said: "Alas, Fairy Qingzi is polite, not to mention that time, you have made a lot of efforts to eliminate filth in the past few years, and it is not comparable to other disciples." ”

Qingzi said: "This matter has nothing to do with how much effort is contributed, as long as it is a matter of eliminating demons and defending the Dao, it is all commendable, and you can't just focus on who is the most powerful and ignore those who have also contributed to it." ”

was slapped in the face by this sentence, the other party smiled, and said straightly: "What the fairy said is that I am ignorant." ”

The small sect is so cautious in front of the big sect, and it is difficult to move forward, even if you are the head of the sect, you don't dare to be angry when you are lost face by the elite disciples of the big sect, and you still have to smile and compensate.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Zhang Peng spoke again, and he said: "Qingzi Fairy's cultivation is extremely high, why didn't he participate in the sect competition in the first month?"

Qingzi said: "At that time, I had important things to do, and I traveled abroad, but I couldn't come back. ”

Zhang Peng understood and said: "That's a pity, if the fairy plays, with your qualifications, you must not be able to win the championship and get the top three!"

Qingzi smiled and did not answer.

But when it comes to winning the championship, we have to mention the sensational figure in this matter - Huo Fengxing.

This person has a high cultivation level and has a lot of talking points, so it immediately aroused the gossip interest of those people.

"Huo Fengxing of Wanyang Sect, who won the championship at the beginning, is also a rare and powerful person, and his reputation among the immortals is also very good. ”

Someone answered: "That's right, according to this son's qualifications, the future is limitless!"

"It's a pity, it's from Wanyang Sect, and there are more masters in the first major sect of the people, and I guess I don't take this piece of jade in my eyes. If it is in my sect, let alone driving out of the sect, I will definitely use the resources of the entire mountain sect on him. The person who spoke was both regretful and angry.

Someone sighed: "Who said it wasn't? Even if the first sect encounters a genius like him, it must be cultivated well, and it will definitely be a sharp blade of his Wanyang Sect in the future, how do you know that those people are so confused!"

These people gathered around Ci Yuehua's table and chatted with great interest, behind those people, Ci Yuehua looked faint and sat upright, as if he didn't pay attention to their conversation at all, only one person sat upright, as if isolated from the world.

Qingzi in the back supported his chin with one hand, and a pair of bright eyes were looking at the gossiping group of old men with interest.

Qingzi said that it is still good to gossip and gossip occasionally, and you can cultivate your sentiments, but Xiao Kan is pleasant, and Da Kan is about to be burned, so gossip still has to be moderate.

Another said: "I don't seem to have heard from him since the turmoil a few months ago, I wonder what you know?"

Another said: "This kind of thing can only be known by the sects on the Jinling side, not to mention the Wanyang Sect now, even the other sects on the Jinling side have not appeared." ”

At this moment, the gossip object instantly jumped to another topic, and now the people who have arrived here are the other four major sects and the rest of the small sects under their rule, but there is not a sect on the Jinling side, and the meaning of this is actually understood by everyone present.

Some of them are dissatisfied, but some are very happy, it is not a good thing for the single family to be alone, if they were in the past, they might still be afraid of one or two, but now the Wanyang Sect is also jumping around, for those small sects, it is like seeing the dawn.

The five major sects stand tall and have always led the hundred schools of immortal sects, but under the five major sects, there are also other sects that are trying to develop and want to squeeze up, but although the five major sects are not colluded before, they have a balanced boundary between each other.

They are connected together like five-pointed stars, and it is basically impossible for the rest of the sects to share in this, but now that there is a four-to-one situation, the forces that want to take the opportunity to stand up are naturally happy to see it and try their best to step on the next one to step on their feet.

It's just that this Wanyang Sect is originally a difficult bone to gnaw, or the largest and hardest of the five bones, and whether they can gnaw it depends on whether they have the ability to do it.

While several people were talking, they suddenly heard a voice: "Sect Master Song has arrived-"

Hearing the words, those people saluted Ci Yuehua and returned to their seats.

Song Zhishu walked to the high position and smiled heartily: "Hahaha, I was just stumped by some trivial things, so you have to wait for a long time, Song Mou is here to punish himself and apologize to you!"

After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle on the table, raised his head and drank it all.

Seeing him like this, everyone shouted: "Sect Master Song is polite!"

"Sect Master Song has a good amount of wine!"

Song Zhishu sat down with a smile, and he said: "This time, I would like to thank all the allies for giving Song some thin noodles, and they are willing to come here to discuss important matters with us.

Someone said: "Thank you Sect Master Song for your hospitality, now that it is an eventful autumn, we should all huddle together to keep warm." Your sect is the second of the five major sects, and now the first of the five major sects has no time to take care of itself, if you can discuss this matter, we will naturally come to support it!"

When someone spoke, other people followed suit, "Yes, at this time, the ghost clan is rampant, and thanks to the Song Sect Master, he can take all of us together, but it's not like the sect that has it, only fighting for fame and fortune." ”

Another person was dissatisfied: "This time the ghost clan is in turmoil, and our small sects have all come, why haven't the people of the Wanyang Sect come yet? Could it be that so many of us are waiting for him?"

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel again, Song Zhishu raised his hand and pressed it, and he said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I have already sent a letter to Wanyang Sect, and I believe that there will be a reply soon." Today we will not talk about anything else, but eat and drink first! Come, let our guests and hosts have a good time!"

Seeing that the masters of the family were reluctant to talk about these things, those people didn't discuss it anymore, and they picked up their wine glasses one by one, and said, "A glass to the Song Sect Master!"

This time I came to Qingfengmen, which is actually a disguised reranking.

According to this momentum, the first sect of this sect has faintly shown signs of moving closer to the Qingfeng Gate, anyway, no matter what happens behind this, the position of the first sect of the Wanyang Sect is afraid that it will not be able to sit steadily, even if it is still struggling above, it will no longer have the deterrent power it once had.

In the Wanyang Sect, there was a solemnity up and down at this time, and even the air had a gloomy atmosphere.

Inside the main hall, all the high-ranking people were standing there with blank faces, and in the high position, the great elder was walking around with his eyebrows twisted, looking quite irritable.

"Now that they've all gone to Qingfengmen, aren't we really going?"

The one who spoke was standing in the center of the hall and thought it was a green-clothed Taoist, with a hint of worry in his expression. He was a small sect under the protection of the Jinling Wanyang Sect, and because he was nervous about the matter of the assembly at the moment, he came to the Wanyang Sect to ask again.

He wanted to go to Qingfeng Gate, but now he was under someone else's roof, and if he didn't do it well, he was afraid that his entire sect would be destroyed.

Hearing his words, the man standing at the top of the left below, said unhappily: "Hmph! This time, it is clear that the Book of Song took advantage of the danger of others to seize the power of my Wanyang Sect, if we go at this time, it is not equivalent to us acknowledging that they are a head above us? We are the head of the five major sects, if we stoop to the Qingfeng Gate like this, where is the majesty of my Wanyang Sect, and how can I sit on the position of the head of this immortal sect in the future?!"

The Great Elder said, "Now that they have set us up on the stove and roasted us, we can't please whether we go or not!"

The man said, "Senior brother, what should I do?"

The Great Elder said: "We just got the news from the Qingfeng Gate, they will discuss the alliance in three days, if we don't go in three days, it will be equivalent to automatically giving up the opportunity to form an alliance." ”

The man said hatefully: "This Book of Song is really cunning, I knew earlier that he was extremely ambitious, and now that the sect master is gone, his ambition will be exposed." It's a joke, my No. 1 sect lost to the second in ten thousand years like this!"

The Great Elder didn't have time to listen to his complaints, and he said, "Now we have to discuss whether or not we should form an alliance with them. Now that the ghost clan is in turmoil, my Wanyang Sect has also suffered a lot of blows, if we let them form an alliance, then we are afraid that we will become the target of the ghost clan in the future. ”

When the man heard this, he immediately said, "Senior brother, you don't really want to bow your head to them, do you? You have to think twice, if we bow our heads this time, we will never have a chance to raise our heads in the future." This ladder is easy to go down, but it's not easy to go up!"

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted everyone's echo, and they all said: "What the second elder said is, Great Elder, think twice!"

"Yes, we can't bow our heads, we are the first sect!"

"If you don't form an alliance, you won't form an alliance, the strength of our Wanyang Sect is not weak, and we can also take the Xiaoxian Sect below to form another alliance by ourselves, if we are with them, then how can our Wanyang Sect disciples hold their heads up outside in the future?!"

The Great Elder had always been conflicted in his heart, and the two thoughts of alliance and non-alliance had been playing out in his mind in turn, lingering.

In fact, intellectually speaking, he is in favor of forming an alliance, no matter how unbelievable it is, but I have to say that because of the death of the sect master, because of this series of scandals, the Wanyang Sect has lost a lot in both prestige and strength.

Now the Wanyang Sect no longer has the prestige and reputation it once had among the major immortal sects, compared to the Qingfeng Sect, which is slightly weaker but has a rising reputation, they can no longer compare.

Now the only ones who can stand on their side are the less than ten sects under their rule, if they don't form an alliance, Wanyang Sect will basically become a lonely family, if the ghost clan is menacing, they will only be helpless.
