Chapter 91: A Crisis of Confidence
Although Xiao Jing recognized Duan Rui as a brother, although it was indeed as he said, it contained the intention of making friends, but it was more because he valued Duan Rui's own potential and the forces behind him, and if he wanted to sit firmly in prison in the position of the leader of the Hero Association, he must have his own connections and heritage.

Of course, Xiao Jing doesn't want to talk to the fledgling Duan Ruiming yet, the current Duan Rui is like a rising star, although the potential is unlimited, but after all, he is still a little immature, and knowing some things too early may not be a good thing for him.
At the same time, a middle-aged man was sitting on a tiger skin chair with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep in a secret room at the helm of the Heroes Association, and he was kneading a communication jade slip in his hand at the moment.
"I didn't expect the high priest to take action in person, and it would fail, the significance of the Sky Devouring Tiger to the sect is too important, and I don't know if this failure will have an impact on the next step!" Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and two rays of light continued to flicker in his pupils, and he slowly stood up from the tiger skin chair, his eyes staring at a corner of the room seemingly aimlessly, and muttered to himself.
I saw that the middle-aged man was about 1.9 meters tall, very burly, with long hair in a shawl, and the light in the secret room reflected a rigid and cold face carved out of a knife.
This is an impressive face, powerful and powerful, eyes like torches, full of explosive power, eyes shining with sharp edges, as if you can see through any disguise in front of you.
"Tell me!" the middle-aged man asked as he paced aimlessly back and forth in front of the tiger skin chair, looking a little bad as he paced towards a corner in front of him
"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the helmsman!" The dark patch in the corner seemed to be nothing, but suddenly a voice answered.
"Oh, it seems that I still underestimated that Xiao Jing, but I didn't expect that even you didn't find valuable news!" The middle-aged man suddenly stopped after hearing the voice reply, frowned and sighed.
"But it's not for nothing!" the voice said after a brief silence.
"Hmm, say!" the middle-aged man hurriedly asked when he heard that he had found something else.
"Xiao Jing and a young man Yukong went in the direction of the stone forest in the suburbs not long ago, because the speed was too fast, I didn't catch up, but if I am not mistaken, the young man who left with Xiao Jing seems to be Duan Rui, the young sect master of the Duan Sect who was in the limelight some time ago. The voice answered.
"Duan Rui, the rookie of the Duan Sect who got the Six-Vein Spirit Sword! Could it actually be him? What is Xiao Jing's motive for doing this? Is it because he wants to unite with the Duan Sect to put pressure on me? The Six-Vein Spirit Sword and the Heavenly Dragon Fall are not so simple, it seems that this matter must be reported to the sect as soon as possible!"
The middle-aged man slowly sat back on the tiger skin chair, leaned on the back of the tiger skin chair, and regularly tapped the armrest of the chair with the index finger of his right hand, and said to himself thoughtfully, and the dark corner where the sound had just come out also disappeared and returned to silence again.
Kaifeng Mansion is located in the center of the mainland, the climate change is obvious throughout the year, it is late autumn and early winter, the weather at night is particularly cold, but the low temperature and cold can not stop people from pursuing happiness
In a wing room of the helmsman of the Heroes Association in the northern district of Kaifeng Prefecture, Duan Rui was sitting alone on a knee-length round stool and was silently distracted, seeing his father again, he could obviously feel that his father's strength was much stronger than before, it seemed that his father had successfully broken through his own bottleneck, and now he was the peak powerhouse of Tianyuan Realm.
It's just that the only fly in the ointment is that his cultivation has just broken through and his aura is still unstable, and it will take a while to adapt before he can truly enter the list of peak powerhouses in the Tianyuan Realm.
Obviously, my uncle and father were very excited and surprised by their appearance, and they were originally going to use the opportunity to participate in the Hero Club to find their whereabouts.
After his disappearance last time, it was a big deal for the entire Duan Sect, and no one in the key sect knew how the young sect master disappeared, which was a great shame for a sect with a 10,000-year-old inheritance.
Even because the sect had just experienced a big battle, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, but this was definitely not the reason for the disappearance of the young sect master, and it was really unreasonable that a 10,000-year-old sect with a lot of background would make such a low-level mistake.
Regarding his whereabouts and the reason for his disappearance in the past few months, Duan Rui also covered up ambiguously, and did not say it in the past, but fortunately, his uncle and father did not have the intention of delving into it, and in the end, it was not over, as for whether the old matter would be brought up again after returning to the sect, it is difficult to say now.
But what really made Duan Rui a little distracted was what they said to themselves when they faced their father and uncle alone afterwards, Duan Rui was a fledgling and short-sighted, but it didn't mean that the people in Duan Men were easy to fool.
Duan Rui told his father and uncle about Xiao Jing's preparation for an alliance with Duan Men without reservation, and Duan Rui, who thought that the two should choose to accept it, didn't expect that there were so many insiders behind the whole thing.
After knowing the reason, Duan Rui's whole person felt a little afraid, thanks to the fact that he didn't agree to the other party's request in a moment, now that he thinks about it, the reason why Xiao Jing avoided his father and uncle and found him directly was because he felt that he was short-sighted and easy to fool!
For a while, the good impression he had just established for Xiao Jing was also strongly impacted, and Duan Rui began to seriously question his judgment all along.
Looking down at the golden orchid totem on the back of his right hand that seemed to have a golden halo flowing, he really didn't know what he should do next.
In a luxurious room less than 100 meters away from Duan Rui's room, at this moment, the two most powerful men in Duan Men were sitting face to face at a quaint round table talking about something.
"Big brother, do you think Xiao Jing is trustworthy!" A middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with a somewhat tangled expression and asked urgently.
The appearance of this middle-aged man is seven points similar to Duan Rui, his perfect and handsome face has a pair of clear eyes that are so gentle that they seem to drip water, the fine long hair covers his smooth forehead, hanging down to the thick and slender eyelashes, a pair of bright eyes are full of wisdom and strategy, and a white dress is casually worn on him but gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
"Zheng Xiong seems to have no need to ask me this question in your mind, don't let Rui'er's relationship affect your judgment, which is a big taboo for a person in power. Opposite the man in white sat a middle-aged man with a good appearance, he was wearing a pale yellow robe and was burly and straight.
A pale yellow robe brought his luxury to the extreme, and his handsome face also gave people a deep and erudite taste, although his appearance was not as handsome as that of the man in white, but it had a unique masculine air that was impressive.
"Alas, big brother, after all, Rui'er has shallow experience, and he has been less exposed to many shady things in the martial arts, and now that he has been recognized by the six-vein spirit sword, it is inevitable that he will be used by someone with a heart, I am worried that he will regret his life when he is young and vigorous!"
"Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Zheng Xiong, although my eldest brother and I have no children, I have always regarded Rui'er as my own, so I don't have any worries about you, but anyone who achieves great things must go through hardships to grow up, and Rui'er will become the sect master of Duanmen in the future, and now it is not necessarily a bad thing for him to have more experience. The man in yellow shook his head and sighed.
"At the moment, although Rui'er has been recognized by the Six-Vein Spirit Sword, he is still young, and the Duanmen is still in charge of you and my two brothers, which Xiao Jing can't know, so I think the purpose of his move is mainly to test the attitude of you and me towards the alliance through Rui'er. The man in yellow suddenly analyzed seriously with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Yes, this should be Xiao Jing's intention to get close to Rui'er, but I heard Rui'er say that Xiao Jing and him became brothers with different surnames, but this idea was a little shaken. At present, the internal Heroes Association is definitely not as united and harmonious as it seems on the surface, big brother, do you say that Xiao Jing's move has any other intentions......"
