Chapter 248: Old Friendships

There was silence in the Yunxiao Palace, Rao was so self-cultivated and Taoist as Huaiyuan Zhenren, and for a while he was also caught off guard by Yuan Xiuyu's sudden request, and Yuan Xiuyu and Gong Xiaofan obviously knew that this matter was not trivial, so they all stood there patiently with a respectful demeanor, and did not have the slightest intention of urging.

After a while, Huaiyuan Zhencai nodded slowly and said, "I know about this matter, no wonder Cousin Feng sent the two of you to report this matter, indeed...... However, this matter is very important, and I still need to consult with some other people in the sect before I can give you an answer. ”

Yuan Xiuyu bowed, his face showed sincerity, and said, "It really should be like this." It's just that I forgive my presumptuousness, before leaving, the family master personally told me that after the transformation of the Manggu Mirage, I am really afraid that the Heavenly Secret Realm will only be about a month away from the opening day, so I still implore the elders of the Ling Xiao Sect to make a decision, so as not to miss this rare opportunity. ”

Huaiyuan Zhenren said: "I understand, so let's do it, you live on Jinhong Mountain first, and I will give you a letter in a day or two at the latest." ”

Yuan Xiuyu and Gong Xiaofan were both overjoyed, and said in unison: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Huaiyuan Zhenren smiled, turned his head to Du Tiejian who was standing aside, and said: "Tiejian, you take them down to settle down, the two teachers and nephews have come from a long distance and worked hard to report the news, you must not be lazy." ”

Du Tiejian laughed and said, "Master, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to the two of Yuan Shimen and said with a smile: "Both, please come with me." ”

Yuan Xiuyu and Gong Xiaofan both looked at him, Gong Xiaofan's delicate face seemed to be smiling, Yuan Xiuyu looked unchanged, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's so troublesome Brother Tie Jian." ”

After Du Tiejian took them down, the three Yuan Dan Realm Great Masters of the Lingxiao Sect in the Yunxiao Hall looked at each other, and after a while, Old Man Pu was the first to speak, muttered, and said, "What the hell is going on over there in the Yuanfeng Hall." ”

Yun Ni glanced at the unobstructed old man, shook his head and looked at Huaiyuan Zhenren, and frowned: "Senior brother, what do you think?"

Huaiyuan Zhenren pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The Fengtang Zhenren of the Yuan Shimen is not incompetent, and it is impossible to hide anything in such matters, so I am afraid that the reckless ancient mirage has really changed." ”

Yun Ni said: "Then should we go or not?" The two Yuan Shimen disciples of this mutation just now were vague, I think they don't seem to know what they mean even themselves, will it be ...... if they suddenly open the secret realm half a day in advance?"

Huaiyuan Zhenren was silent again, this time the time was even longer than just now, and after a long while, I saw him exhale slowly, and said, "Gather all the elders to discuss it, the time is set for tomorrow morning, and it is also in this Cloud Palace." In addition, I also want to inform Uncle Huoye. ”

As soon as he said this, Yun Ni and Old Man Pu didn't say anything more, and each stood up and agreed.

After leaving the Yunxiao Hall with the two disciples of Yuan Shimen, Du Tiejian led them down the stone path in the pine forest to the bottom of the mountain, when the hall gradually fell behind, the green shade of the pine forest blocked the view and the surroundings were quiet, only the footsteps of the three of them sounded softly in the forest, Yuan Xiuyu suddenly smiled gently, and said:

"I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Iron Sword, you don't seem to have changed much. ”

Du Tiejian smiled, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What, does it look like I'm still the same as back then?"

"Hmm. Yuan Xiuyu smiled and said, "It's exactly the same." ”

Reading the card Tiejian for some reason, he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing heartily, as if he had thought of something happy, but when he heard it in the ears of others, it seemed to be a little harsh.

Among the two people in Yuan Shimen, Gong Xiaofan snorted, his face was a little unhappy, but Yuan Xiuyu looked like he had both self-cultivation and did not change his face, but he still looked at Du Tiejian with a gentle smile.

After laughing for a while, Du Tiejian pointed at Yuan Xiuyu and sighed: "You kid, you have changed a lot, how did you become so gentle? ”

Gong Xiaofan's face suddenly turned cold, and his brows furrowed, but Yuan Xiuyu smiled, shook his head and sighed: "I was young and ignorant. ”

Du Tiejian let out an "oh", looked at him with interest, and said with a smile: "Young and ignorant, do you know that you shouldn't have been the enemy of me to rob treasures back then?"

Yuan Xiuyu smiled freely, stretched out his hand and casually brushed away a piece of pine needles that fell from a big pine tree around him, with a dignified appearance and a chic demeanor, and smiled: "No, I hate me for being young and ignorant, when I saw you so ruthless and wanted to die with me, and rushed over like a mad dog, I actually remembered that the two families were harmonious and did not want to fight to the death and retreated." It's stupid to think about it now......"

Yuan Xiuyu showed a little regret on his face, sighed, and said: "I knew that I should have fought to give you an arm that day, and I should have cut off your feet first, and then kicked you away and snatched the Heaven Opening Demon Sword." ”

Gong Xiaofan turned back in amazement, looking at Yuan Xiuyu, her delicate face showed a look of surprise, it seemed that she didn't know what Yuan Xiuyu said in the past, and it was the first time she heard of it today.

Du Tiejian stared at Yuan Xiuyu for a while, Yuan Xiuyu smiled slightly, his face was calm, and he did not avoid his gaze. Du Tiejian looked at it for a long time, and suddenly lost his smile, but he suddenly walked over and stopped Yuan Xiuyu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "So I'll just say, your guy is not too bad, it's much better than your big brother who has a bad stomach." ”

Yuan Xiuyu was suddenly hugged by him like this, Rao is cultivation was also stunned for a while, looking a little uncomfortable, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Tie Jian, you are ......"

Du Tiejian smiled, put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's rare to come over, we have been friends for many years, I invite you to drink." ”

Yuan Xiuyu smiled and shook his head, it seemed that he had no intention of refusing, but at this moment, Gong Xiaofan, who was standing behind, coughed. The two of them turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, Du Tiejian scratched his head, laughed dryly, and said, "Senior Sister Gong, uh, I remember that you don't seem to like drinking?"

Gong Xiaofan snorted and said, "You mean that if I don't drink, you're going to leave me here?"

Du Tiejian immediately shook his head, looking a little more polite to this petite woman than Yuan Xiuyu, and said with a smile: "Then where will it be, of course I want to settle you down first, come on, let's go to the guest room." ”

Gong Xiaofan pursed her lips, first glanced at Yuan Xiuyu, and after seeing that he had no objection, she nodded, but after taking two steps, the corners of her mouth moved, and suddenly said to Du Tie Jian:

"Senior Brother Du, there's something I want to ask you. ”

Du Tiejian nodded and said, "You say." ”

Gong Xiaofan took a breath, and there seemed to be a moment in his eyes that had been calm and firm, and suddenly softened a little, and even his voice was a little gentler, and said, "May I ask that among those disciples of your sect who entered the Wentian Secret Realm with you back then, there was a senior brother named Baili Jue, how is it now?"

Du Tiejian's footsteps slammed suddenly, as if he was taken aback, and suddenly there was a little more inexplicable and complicated look in his eyes, he looked at Gong Xiaofan and said, "Baili Master...... Brother, why did you suddenly ask him, do you know each other?"

Gong Xiaofan was silent for a moment, and said: "Back then, in the Wentian Secret Realm, I had a relationship with him on several sides, and I barely had a friendship, but I haven't seen him for many years, and it seems that I haven't heard anything about him in the Lingxiao Sect over the years, I don't know how he has been recently?"

Du Tiejian frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Senior Brother Baili is withdrawn, and he is obsessed with cultivation, he is dedicated to seeking the immortal path of immortality, and he never pays attention to foreign affairs. I didn't expect Senior Sister Gong to remember him, I really had a heart. ”

Gong Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and said, "For so many years, has he just been autistic and penance?"

Du Tiejian nodded and said, "Yes, even I haven't seen him for several years." As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Yuan Xiuyu, "Let's go, I'll take you down, I'll find a jar of good wine when I go back, let's have a good drink, and see if you have grown in alcohol over the years?"

Yuan Xiuyu laughed and walked away, just walking, the corner of his eye seemed to inadvertently glance at the palace fan who was following behind, only to see that she was silent at the moment, and there seemed to be a faint look of disappointment in her eyes.

Shutang, the hall of the five elements.

After finding Xiao Hei in the pine forest outside the Yunxiao Palace, Shen Shi took it all the way down the mountain, and when he arrived at the sea viewing platform, most of the many disciples who had gathered here had dispersed, but there were still many people talking in front of the public banner, and of course everyone was most concerned about the eighty places that could be qualified to enter the Wentian Secret Realm.

Among them, as a personal disciple under the Yuan Dan Realm Elder's seat, he had to occupy about thirty percent of the quota, so all the way from the viewing platform, Shen Shi really heard a lot of voices talking about it in private, but Shen Shi naturally didn't bother about it. First, because this is the rule of the sect; second, although he himself is an elder disciple, he ranks third in this Hundred Mountains Realm trial, so he naturally has a clear conscience, and others can't talk about him even if they have a crooked mouth; finally, if you really want to think about it, Shen Shi has also seen that list, in fact, most of the people who have been allowed to enter the Wentian Secret Realm in advance because of the status of the elder's personal disciple this time have entered the top eighty people.

Originally, if it weren't for the talents who were talented and could be cultivated, what kind of characters were those Yuan Dan Realm Dazhen, and what kind of vision and experience, how could they really choose waste as their apprentices?

Shen Shi smiled, put those rumors behind him, and walked all the way, but he went straight to the outside of the Five Elements Hall in the Shutang. As in the past, it seemed very deserted and quiet here, but today Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi actually appeared here, as soon as she saw Shen Shi, she laughed, obviously she also knew Shen Shi's ranking, and she was very happy.

After the two chatted for a few words, Xu Yanzhi smiled and said, "You wait here, Master has explained, I'll be back later, I have something to do with you." ”
