Chapter 53: The Misfortune of the Lingyin Gate
The next day, Chu Huai set up a banquet, and only invited the inner disciples in the mountain gate to entertain Wu Rulan, presumably too, although Wu Rulan was to send a message to Chu Huai, but after all, it was a late night secret visit, and I am afraid that I don't want too many people to know.
Wu Rulan was not surprised to see Chen Fei's familiar face, nodded at him, said hello, and then looked around.
Although Duan Cheng is not an inner disciple, in Chu Huai's eyes, he can be regarded as a disciple with the same status as an inner disciple in the sect.
And then there was a person who looked like a fool, and that was the eighth young master of Qingfu.
Seeing that her gaze stayed on the Eighth Young Master, thinking that it was his indecent appearance that made her feel displeased, Chu Huai said a warning,
"Rui'er, don't be unreasonable in front of the guests. ”
Qing Rui heard his master speak, and there was an apologetic smile on his face, he really didn't have a lot of fear in the world, but the master was one of the few he didn't dare to mess with.
So he put down the grapes in his hand, sat down at the table, and said,
"Master, martial arts friends are their own family, and they also saved our little junior sister, don't I want to put up a fight. ”
As soon as these words fell, a girl wearing a light blue sect uniform and a bamboo flute pinned to her waist walked in at the door.
Although she is not good-looking, she looks extraordinarily stable.
"Division...... Master, the apprentice is late......"
Yu Wan lowered her head a little embarrassed, she was still surprised when Chu Huai sent someone to send the clothes of the inner disciple this morning, but she didn't expect that it would be followed by a transmission note, the general content was that Yu Wan was accepted as an inner disciple, and after sending Wu Rulan away, she would officially go to the teacher.
At this time, she also attended as an inner disciple.
Seeing Yu Wan coming, the smile on Chu Huai's face became even greater, and he asked with a smile,
"Is the injury better? Although some treatment has been done, the movement should be fine, but you still have to pay more attention to your body, otherwise the old injury will recur, and you will suffer again if you treat it again." ”
Seeing that Chu Huai cared so much about herself, Yu Wan hurriedly replied,
"It doesn't matter anymore, the trouble master still has to give me such a good medicine......"
Seeing that Yu Wan was also here, Wu Rulan also walked over with some joy and pulled her to sit together.
"I don't know why Brother Guan bothered the inner disciples to go on this trip this time?"
Got to the point.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Wu Rulan's expression immediately became solemn, she was silent for a while, and then said slowly,
"The Lingyin Sect has been in chaos recently, and you must have heard about it. In fact, this matter has to start when the three elders return to the sect.
Originally, the relationship between the three elders and our head was that of senior brothers, because his qualifications were better than ours, so he had always been very dissatisfied with his identity as an elder, so his disciples always clashed with the disciples of the inner gate on weekdays.
However, our head of the family thinks of the love of the senior brothers, and sometimes it is regarded as invisible, but in the past few years, the three elders seem to have a faint intention to seize the throne, and after the head found out, he arranged a task for the three elders, wanting to clear some of his forces when he went out.
But ......"
Wu Rulan wanted to speak and stopped, these were originally the family affairs of the Lingyin Sect, and it was inconvenient to say it to outsiders, but at this time she had to say it, so she took a deep breath, straightened her back and said,
"But after the third elder returned to the sect, he brought back a female disciple, and no one suspected it at first, until the disappearance of the outer disciple began...... Then...... At that time, we found out that in order to get the position of the head of the family, the three elders actually colluded with those shameless people of the Immortal Sect, and even agreed to cooperate with the outside world at the time of the Great Competition.
Fortunately, the head of the family found out early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, there are more than fifty disciples of the outer sect who have betrayed and left, and the three elders have already taken refuge in the Wuxian Sect after the matter was revealed, and the strength of the Lingyin Sect at this time is not as good as before.
The female demon who pretended to be a disciple of the Third Elder was also arrested by us, but unfortunately she bit her tongue and committed suicide without asking anything. ”
Some clenched his fists with resentment, and Wu Rulan's expression also showed a trace of resentment, presumably the Immortal Sect must have also caused a lot of harm to the Lingyin Sect, although Chu Huai also vaguely guessed the purpose of Wu Rulan's trip, but he didn't want to have this kind of hidden feelings.
"I don't know what the situation of the Spirit Hidden Gate is now, do you need help?"
Chen Fei also hated the Immortal Sect, and he asked first.
But Wu Rulan shook her head,
"Now that the civil strife has been calmed down by the Great Elder and the Second Elder, together with the Four Elders who have been out and about, the relationship with the head of the sect is very good, and the Four Elders will also return to the sect before Dabi, so there is no problem for the time being. ”
"The question is after Dabi. ”
Duan Cheng, who had not spoken, was to the point at this time, since he knew about Meng Tian's affairs, he had been very decadent, and in recent days, with the help of Chen Fei and others, his body had finally improved, and he had gradually calmed down.
But looking at the dark circles under his eyes, you can still know that he must be tormented by nightmares every night and can't sleep.
Wu Rulan nodded,
"What our head means is that although the Yunxiao Sect and the Lingyin Sect don't have any dealings on weekdays, after all, everyone is one of the top sects in Eastern Chan, so this time it is better to form an alliance to attack the Wuxian Sect, and the materials obtained will be divided equally, and at the same time, the vanguard will also be selected from the two sects at the same time. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the inner disciples present showed joy on their faces, this is undoubtedly an excellent proposal, whether it is for either party, it is a sure win.
Chu Huai was good at doing business, and naturally knew how much this matter would benefit the sect, but he didn't agree immediately, but said,
"Martial arts friends have other things to say, it's not too late for me to make a decision when I'm done. ”
Sure enough, it was not so easy to dismiss, at the beginning, the head of his family said that Chu Huai was an old fox, and after seeing him, he was more or less suspicious, but now that he looks at it, he is really an old and cunning person.
"We found a piece of jade slip on the female demon that hasn't been sent out yet, and the general meaning on it is that the sect leader is ordering all the disciples to return to the Immortal Sect, what preparations should be made, as for this ......"
Seeing that Chu Huai still didn't mean to interrupt, Wu Rulan gritted her teeth and continued,
"We suspect that the time may have come. ”
"What time is it?"
Qing Rui seemed to hear something interesting, he stood up suddenly, looking at Wu Rulan with some excitement on his face, Chu Huai coughed lightly, he realized his gaffe, and hurriedly sat down in front of the table again.
