Ling Nanzi stretched out his hand to take the wedding card, opened it and looked at it, and said, "It's been twelve years for a while...... I don't know if Wan Shuai is in good health now? Under his leadership, the area around the capital should be a peaceful scene. ”

Shi Fang hugged his fists and replied: "Wan Shuai should be old and strong, and his spirit is better than in the past, and now all the forbidden troops in the capital are under his command, and there is no place for young people." ”

"Understood...... Ling Nanzi closed the wedding card in his hand and said, "You go back and reply to Wan Shuai, just say that Ling Nanzi will definitely go to the banquet as promised." ”

Shi Fang bowed his hand to thank him, but hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about Wan Gongzi?"

Ling Nanzi's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "My answer is so, Ling Nanzi will definitely go to the banquet as promised!"

Wan Qing, who was standing behind Ling Nanzi, changed his face and clenched his fists, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Shi Fang's expression sank a little, and he faced Ling Nanzi and said loudly: "Wan Shuai's father and son have been separated for twelve years, doesn't Master Ling miss the old feelings at all?"

Ling Nanzi looked at Shi Fang, and suddenly a huge oppressive force was born from him, spreading out in all directions, and the candle flames in the main hall were swept away by this pressure, and all of them were extinguished!

"If General Shi has nothing else to do, please go back. My Huaishan faction is a small sect, and big figures like generals have been here for a long time, so it is inevitable that they will disturb the disciples' cultivation. Ling Nanzi's expression remained unchanged, and he directly issued an order to expel the guest.

The stone square's face changed several times, and finally he stomped his foot, turned around and strode away.

Ling Nanzi stood motionless, his eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In the distance, the rolling dark clouds formed a line, slowly drifting towards Huai Mountain, and there were flashes of electric light in the gaps of the dark clouds, as if a storm was close at hand......

After the evening class, several disciples gathered in a group and walked towards the gate while chatting about the morning competition. When he walked to the front yard, suddenly a sharp-eyed man stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of the photo wall and said, "Hey, why is there a person kneeling there, and which disciple is being punished?"

Another disciple smiled and said, "Is it that Senior Brother Jiang was too casual during the morning competition, which made Master angry, so he was punished to kneel on the shadow wall." ”

"No......" The previous disciple shook his head, and suddenly he looked stunned, as if he had seen something incredible, and said with a stammering mouth: "That...... That person seems to be a senior brother!"

The others were stunned when they heard this, and everyone looked carefully, and the person kneeling in front of the shadow wall was really Senior Brother Wan Qing! Suddenly, several people stood in place, and finally the disciple who was found at first pulled the corners of the others' clothes, and several people went back along the way they came.

It didn't take long for the entire Huaishan faction to know that the senior brother Wan Qing was punished at the photo wall. The disciples talked a lot, I don't know what mistakes the senior brother made, these children have been trained by Wan Qing since they went up the mountain, just as the so-called eldest brother is like a father, and now Wan Qing was suddenly punished in front of the photo wall, and everyone felt like the sky suddenly fell halfway.

In the apse surrounded by smoke and fire, Ling Nanzi was sitting and meditating. Suddenly there was a commotion from outside the door, followed by a bang, and the door of the apse was pushed open heavily, and a man rushed in from the outside.

"Master, what mistake did Senior Brother make, and why did you punish him?" Jiang Jianqiu stood in front of the hall, looking at the Master who was closing his eyes and contemplating.

Ling Nanzi waved his hand and told the disciples on duty who were following Jiang Jianqiu to retreat first. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Jianqiu, his eyes were empty, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or worried in his heart.

"Wan Qing, he didn't make a mistake, he was forcing a teacher to make a mistake. ”

Jiang Jianqiu was stunned, he didn't understand Master's words. Ling Nanzi sighed and said, "Your senior brother went to the shadow wall to think about it by himself, but unfortunately he didn't know what to reflect on. Stand down, it's complicated, it's not something you can understand......"

After a while, Jiang Jianqiu walked out of the apse with a depressed face, and ran to the front yard like the wind. He ran to the shadow wall and said a lot of words to the senior brother Wan Qing, but the senior brother was deaf and didn't react at all, just bowed his head and knelt in front of the shadow wall, not moving, not saying a word.

Jiang Jianqiu said that in the end, it was also to no avail, he stomped his feet angrily, "One is more stubborn than the other!" Under the corridor in the distance, Ling Shengxue stood against the pillar, quietly watching all this.

The night was deep, and the entire Huai Mountain had fallen into a deep sleep. There is only one exception, and that is Wan Qing, who is kneeling in front of the photo wall. His posture did not change from the day, he still knelt there with his head bowed, his eyes on the ground, his face expressionless, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

"Wan Qing, are you still angry as a teacher?" I don't know when, Ling Nanzi's emaciated figure was already standing quietly behind Wan Qing, and a deep voice reached Wan Qing's ears along the night wind.

Wan Qing's body was shocked, but he still maintained his kneeling posture unchanged. His voice was a little hoarse, and he sounded a little tired, "The disciple is just hating himself for not being angry, he has been away from home for twelve years, but he can't serve his parents, and he can't fulfill a trace of filial piety!"

The gloomy night sky was covered with dark clouds, the stars and moon were dull, and the darkness was thick as if it were solidified. The master and apprentice stood and knelt in front of the photo wall, standing quietly for a long time, and no one said a word.

In the end, it was Ling Nanzi who broke the suffocating silence, and he whispered: "Back then, I took you as an apprentice and promised your father to keep you safe. Although the Huaishan faction is small, it is outside the world and is not disturbed by the world. Only here can you be safe, and only when you are safe can your father be at ease. ”

"The disciple understands, so I have devoted myself to cultivation all these years and have not paid attention to the outside affairs. But now that my father has sent someone to tell me to go back, something terrible must have happened in the capital, how can I turn a blind eye!"

Ling Nanzi looked up at the sky, his eyes flickering, as if he wanted to see through the dark clouds overhead. Wan Shanhe, the friend of life and death for more than 30 years, one of the seven saints in the past, whether it is cultivation or thinking, is the only candidate in ten thousand, what happened to such a person, what happened to break the peace of the past twelve years, and suddenly sent out this invitation?

"Wan Qing, you have to know that although there are some means to be a teacher, this world is so big, and there are endless capable people. Once you step into the capital and are swept into the turbulence of the world, even if you are a teacher, you may not be able to protect yourself. ”

Wan Qing suddenly turned around and kowtowed to Ling Nanzi three times, and then said, "Master has been raising her for more than ten years, Wan Qing is grateful. Although the trip to the capital is unpredictable now, Wan Qing is thinking about his father in his heart, and it is imperative to do it. This trip to the capital is all because of me, no matter what happens, it is the disciple who is to blame, and the master has nothing to do!"

Ling Nanzi looked at Wan Qing who was kneeling on the ground, his brows were deeply locked, and finally he sighed and said softly: "That's it, you go back to the room and clean up, we will set off in the next few days......"

"Yes!" Wan Qing replied and thanked again, the joy on his face overflowing.
