Chapter 39
"It's here!"
As Xiao Shu stopped, the three of them finally came to the front of the main hall.
The guards and disciples in front of the hall are all dressed in white robes, their postures are straight, and their Taoism is natural. Seeing the arrival of the three of them, the leading disciple took the lead and asked Xiao Shu, "Senior Brother Xiao, why did you come to the Qing Palace?"
After Xiao Qi finished his brief description, the man's gaze quickly swept over Chen Mingye and Cai Ling'er, and asked, "Those who don't have a spiritual root only need to go to Danyuan Pavilion to get a Zhuyan Pill to go down the mountain and leave, how did you bring the main hall?"
"He has a token on him. Xiao replied.
"Can you let me see you?"
Chen Mingye took out the letter casually and showed it to him.
"Indeed, there is spiritual breath, so that you may enter into the temple. "After that, the disciple said no more and got out of the way.
"Thank you, senior brother!" Xiao Chu waved slightly, and led the two into the hall.
Stepping into the hall, the field of vision suddenly broadens. Several sky-like pillars are more than a few zhang high, and on the high platforms on both sides, several blue-robed Taoists are discussing matters on high seats. In the middle of the main hall, an old man in a purple robe sat with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep pranayama.
"Who is Your Highness?" As soon as the three of them entered the hall, an old man in a blue robe on the high position on the left hand side suddenly shouted.
Cai Ling'er was startled and looked at the old man opposite with a dissatisfied expression.
Xiao Chu seemed to have expected this, and bowed slightly and said, "Disciple Xiao Shu, bring a new disciple to see it, please arrange it for the elders." ”
"Okay, got it," the blue-robed old man waved his hand with interest, "You have brought a total of five newcomers to the door this month, and the first three are the most ordinary Five Elements Miscellaneous Spirit Roots, what is the situation with these two?"
"Back to Elder Lei, the girl is a lotus spiritual root, and the boy has a letter of recommendation although he has no spiritual root. Xiao Shu hurriedly replied.
"What?" Elder Lei was visibly stunned, "Lotus Spirit Root?"
On the side, a beautiful woman who was originally sitting indifferently had jumped up almost at the moment when Xiao Chop's voice came out, and a flash came to Cai Ling'er's face, quickly reached out and grabbed Cai Ling'er's little hand, slightly tentative, and showed a look of joy on her face: "Senior Brother Zhang, it's really a lotus spiritual root! It's really a lotus spiritual root!"
The master in the center of the main hall, who had originally closed his eyes and breathed, sighed slightly, but his eyes did not fall on Cai Ling'er's body, but fell directly on Chen Mingye's body.
"Senior Sister Liu, congratulations. The master said lightly, and with a wave of his hand, "The two of them stay, you can retreat for the time being!"
"Yes!" Xiao bowed and was about to step back, then as if he suddenly thought of something, he scratched his head and said stiffly, "Elder Tie said that he brought these two people back, and the quota must be recorded below him." ”
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Shu could clearly see that the face of the Sect Leader, who had always been kind and kind, seemed to be a little darker, and Elder Liu of the Danyuan Pavilion on the side also seemed to be gritting his teeth.
Fortunately, the head coach just waved his hand slightly: "Got it." ”
Xiao Shu retreated in fright.
Chen Mingye watched this scene silently, remembering that the head of the sect was staring at him tightly just now, and suddenly felt that the letter of recommendation in his arms seemed to be something very tricky.
"Senior brother, I want this girl!" Elder Liu didn't let go of his hand at all since he pulled Cai Ling'er, and he was as intimate as if he was his own daughter. At this moment, he swears to proclaim, like a hen guarding her cubs.
Chen Mingye looked funny, but when he saw Cai Ling'er's stunned appearance, he seemed to be slightly stunned.
Qingxuan Sect nodded, looked around the hall, and said slowly: "Senior Sister Liu has asked for someone for Lotus Peak, do you have any objections?"
"Senior Sister Liu, let me say it first, I don't have any objections, I just want to ask, who are you going to teach this female doll back to?" Elder Lei asked.
"Hmph, this is our Lotus Peak's business, do you still want to interfere with Thunder Peak?" Elder Liu said dissatisfied.
"Senior sister, you're talking too politely, don't I also care about juniors?" Elder Lei looked embarrassed.
"Then I said, I'm going to let her directly become the peak master's personal disciple, how about it?" Elder Liu said categorically.
"This ...... Wouldn't it be too hasty?" another blue-robed elder admonished.
"My Lotus Peak makes a decision, do you still want to interfere?" Elder Liu raised his eyebrows and swept over the few Daoists present, even with the Qingxuan Sect in charge.
"Senior Sister Liu, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean, wouldn't it be too hasty to be a disciple of Senior Sister Tangtai? It's better for you to teach it yourself, it's more appropriate that way!" the elder sighed.
"......" Elder Liu seemed to be stunned, and his tone was a lot weaker for a while, "You are prejudiced against Senior Sister, she is the master of the first peak of our Lotus Peak, and she is stronger than me anyway." ”
"Yes, it's true that she cultivates to a high level and fights well, but she seems to have never accepted apprentices, it seems that she has too much temper and is not good at teaching people......"
The head teacher sighed: "Senior Sister Liu, I don't feel at ease if this female doll is thrown to Senior Sister Tangtai, so it's better for you to worry about it and accept it as a disciple yourself." ”
"It's okay!" Elder Liu nodded, and then turned his head overjoyed and squatted down to look at Cai Ling'er in front of him, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"Cai Ling'er. Cai Ling'er looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and her big eyes seemed to be slightly steamy.
"In the future, I will be your master, if anyone dares to bully you, you must tell the master, and the master will give you a good bullying back!" Elder Liu happily hugged the girl in front of him, with a happy face.
Cai Ling'er couldn't hold back any longer, and large tears crossed her face, wetting the shoulders of the beautiful woman.
"Xiao Ling'er, why are you crying? Is it that my apprentice is unhappy? If the master makes you unhappy, tell the master that the master is okay to change it?" The beautiful woman noticed her tears, and hurriedly tried to wipe away her tears, but the tears were like pearls with broken threads, and the more they wiped, as if the embankment had burst.
Chen Mingye watched as this originally fierce woman turned out to be clumsy and in a hurry, and sighed slightly and admonished: "Elder Liu, don't worry, Xiao Ling'er is happy!"
"Happy?" Elder Liu was stunned.
"She only has such a vulnerable side in front of the person she likes, which shows that this master of yours, she admits it. Chen Mingye said lightly.
"Really?" Elder Liu turned to a happy smile and gently hugged the girl in his arms, "Xiao Ling'er, is it true?"
"Well," Cai Ling'er burst into tears and laughed, "I think the master is like a mother." ”
"Silly girl, you can call me anything, if you treat me as a mother, I will be happier. Elder Liu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and reached out to gently stroke the girl's head.
Cai Linger snuggled in her arms, her face full of tears, but the corners of her mouth were full of smiles.
Chen Mingye sighed silently, Cai Ling'er's life experience also seemed to be very miserable, Aoki Patriarch should be her only living relative, and now she was suddenly cared for by a stranger so warmly, it was normal for her to be emotional and fall down. Even if this care is due to the ethereal spiritual root, this long-awaited and heart-warming concern is enough for a lonely girl to be full of joy.
The entire hall was silent, and all the purple-robed elders watched this scene in amazement.
"This, is it really Senior Sister Liu?"
"It's also the first time I've seen Senior Sister Liu have such a gentle side. ”
"It can't be that I'm dazzled......"
Qingxuan Sect Leader sighed, but his gaze remained silently on Chen Mingye's body all the time.
Finally, he slowly spoke: "The young man in the hall, but his surname is Chen?"
