“You…”

“You’re defending yourself by sophistry!”

Wang Zhan scolded.

“Defending myself by sophistry?” Huangfu Longdou sneered and glanced at the crowd. “All the elders have seen it. who was the one doing that in this matter?”

“You!” Wang Zhan was so angry that his whole body was trembling. The hand that was pointing at Huangfu Longdou was trembling slightly.

“Enough.”

A deep voice came from the main seat, causing the confrontation between the two to pause for a moment.

Chen Xuanfeng looked deeply at Wang Zhan, then swept his gaze across the crowd. Finally, his eyes stopped on Huangfu Longdou.

Although Huangfu Longdou in front of him did not have many expressions.

However, his slightly raised chin coupled with his resolute face made it obvious that he was not someone who others could bully.

Chen Xuanfeng nodded slightly in his heart, but his face remained expressionless as he said, “Elders, let’s call it a day.”

He stopped talking after saying that.

The elders glanced at Chen Xuanfeng, who looked like an old monk sitting still, and they understood in their hearts.

The sect leader wanted to have a private chat with Huangfu Longdou.

Since that was the case, everyone cooperated and went out.

Even Wang Zhan didn’t say anything.

He knew well that he would be the one at a disadvantage if they continued to fight.

Therefore, Wang Zhan gave Huangfu Longdou a hateful look, then turned around and bowed slightly to Chen Xuanfeng before leaving.

Chen Xuanfeng slowly opened his mouth and said when only Chen Xuanfeng and Huangfu Longdou were left in that room, “Longdou, do you know why I want to speak to you alone?”

Huangfu Longdou’s eyes moved slightly as if he was deep in thought. However, he replied respectfully, “This disciple don’t know.”

Chen Xuanfeng smiled slightly and said, “It’s not that I don’t know about the conflict between you and Elder Wang.”

“However, he is an outer sect elder after all. It will cause some bad effect if you chase him out.”

“Longdou, you should understand what I mean, right?”

Huangfu Longdou did not disagree to Chen Xuanfeng, but he was also displeased in his heart. He said coldly, “Oh? I was almost chased out by that old man Wang Zhan just now. Why didn’t I see you speak up to help me?”

Chen Xuanfeng knew that Huangfu Longdou was angry in his heart, so he did not blame him for his disrespectful words. He smiled slightly and said, “Why do you think that I don’t intend to help you?”

Huangfu Longdou fell silent upon hearing Chen Xuanfeng’s words.

He did not believe these words. But Chen Xuanfeng had shown him respect after all.

It would be unwise to ask more questions.

Chen Xuanfeng saw that Huangfu Longdou did not speak anymore and was quite satisfied. He smiled and said, “Actually, I asked you to stay here because I want to ask you two things.”

“What are the two things?” Huangfu Longdou asked calmly.

“Well, the first thing is I have the reason to choose to believe you.” Chen Xuanfeng stroked his beard, looking as if he understood everything.

Huangfu Longdou’s interest was piqued.

He made up the immortal in the mountain. Why did he look as if he had noticed something?

Chen Xuanfeng smiled and pretended to be mysterious.

“I saw a strange phenomenon appear near the Thinking Cliff a few days ago. The person who attacked is probably not ordinary.”

Chen Xuanfeng lowered his voice and leaned forward to continue asking.

“That expert is probably the immortal in the mountains that you mentioned just now.”

Huangfu Longdou was slightly stunned when he heard that.

Thinking Cliff?

A strange phenomenon?

Could it be that when he pointed at the sky casually?

Huangfu Longdou’s stunned expression made Chen Xuanfeng even more certain of his guess.

“Sect Master, that’s not the immortal, but me.”

“I understand. You want to hide it for the immortal.”.

“After all, the two of you are master and disciple. I can understand that.”

“I can rest assured with an honest and reliable child like you joining Heavenly Sword Sect.”

Chen Xuanfeng nodded his head and said with satisfaction.

Huangfu Longdou was even more speechless with that.

However, he was too lazy to explain. Since Chen Xuanfeng had misunderstood, he would as well let him continue to misunderstand to avoid trouble.

“What about the second matter?” Huangfu Longdou asked first.

Chen Xuanfeng’s expression returned to normal upon hearing that. He frowned slightly and said seriously,

“Do you know the Niu Family Village?”

“Niu Family Village?” Huangfu Longdou frowned slightly and shook his head.

Chen Suanfeng sighed and said, “Niu Family Village is a small village 80 miles away from Heavenly Sword Sect. A strong man had died an unnatural death a few days ago.”

“The people from Niu Family Village came to the Heavenly Sword Sect to ask for help. Our Heavenly Sword Sect is reputable, and we are responsible of protecting the peace of the world.”

“How can we just sit back and do nothing?”

Huangfu Longdou frowned slightly when he heard that.

Why did you tell me such a troublesome thing?

Could it be that his next sentence was, “Why don’t you go to Niu Family Village?”

“Why don’t you go to Niu Family Village?” Chen Xuanfeng saw Huangfu Longdou frown slightly and thought that Huangfu Longdou was also concerned about this matter.

“… Sect master, but I still have to participate in the second round of the unrecognized registered disciple competition tomorrow.”

Huangfu Longdou wanted to decline this matter.

He was not from this world, so why should he care about the lives of those who had nothing to do with him.

Chen Xuanfeng smiled slightly and said when he heard this answer from Huangfu Longdou, “I understand. The rewards for this competition are quite generous. Longdou. You do indeed have a chance to compete for the first place.”

“How about this? I will personally reward you with a treasure. Just take it as the treasure you obtain from winning the first place.”

Chen Xuanfeng flicked his sleeve and handed a ruler to Huangfu Longdou after saying that before Huangfu Longdou could reply.

Huangfu Longdou looked at the jade ruler in front of him and asked in surprise, “What is this?”

“What is this?”

Chen Xuanfeng stroked his beard and said in a sage-like manner, “This is called the Dragon-Seeking Ruler. It can be used to search for magical equipment and demons.”

“I will give present you with this Dragon-Seeking Ruler if you are willing to go to the Niu Family Village to deal with this matter.”

Huangfu Longdou took the Dragon-Seeking Ruler in his hand and examined it carefully.

The jade ruler was about one foot and a half long. Its entire body was emitting streams of light. One could tell that it was not an ordinary item with one glance.

Huangfu Longdou would naturally not have the same attitude if he were given a reward for that request.

“Thank you for the treasure, sect leader! Leave the Niu Family Village matter to me to handle. It will be handled smoothly and steadily.”

Chen Xuanfeng was indeed satisfied upon seeing Huangfu Longdou agreed to his request.

It would be the same no matter who handled the Niu Family Village’s matter.

Chen Xuanfeng arranged for Huangfu Longdou to go was to prevent him from participating in the unrecognized registered disciple competition.

Huangfu Longdou would receive Wang Zhan’s reward, if he were to win first place.

Then Wang Zhan would be angered to death.

Secondly, Chen Xuanfeng had the intention to improve his relationship with Huangfu Longdou.

Although Huangfu Longdou’s aptitude was poor and he could not refine Qi, he had relied on his Body-Refining Ability to defeat many talented people. He could be considered a weird genius.

It would be a loss for the Heavenly Sword Sect if he did not build a good relationship with such a person.

Huangfu Longdou suddenly changed the topic just as Chen Xuanfeng was thinking about what to do.

“Sect leader, I will go back and rest if you have nothing to tell this disciple. I will prepare to participate in tomorrow’s competition.”

“Hmm, okay… Wait, tomorrow’s competition?”

Chen Xuanfeng was about to nod his head, but he was slightly stunned.

“That’s right. Wasn’t this disciple already qualify today? Of course, I will participate in the second round tomorrow.”

Huangfu Longdou said innocently.

Chen Xuanfeng was even more confused.

“But don’t you have to go to Niu Family Village?”

“I can go after the competition,” Huangfu Longdou replied.

Chen Xuanfeng could not remain calm this time. He said in shock, “Didn’t I reward you just now? Why are you still participating in the competition?”

Huangfu Longdou’s face did not blush, nor did his heart skip a beat. He displayed his acting skills to the maximum.

He blinked his eyes innocently and said, “Reward? What reward? Why didn’t I see it?”

“…”
