Taiping Inn

Under the dual gazes of Li Daoxu and Zhang Haishi, Lu Yanbing felt like a needle was stabbing his back. After a brief thought, he said cautiously, "If we talk about changes, it is naturally the realm of cultivation. When Senior Brother left the sect last year, he was only at the Baodan realm, but now he has returned to the ninth floor of the Zhen realm. Although he is not as prosperous as he was back then, it is not comparable to me."

The expression on Li Daoxu's face has not changed from beginning to end. People can't tell whether he is happy or angry. They can only judge his emotions through his tone and voice. However, this emotion is the emotion that Li Daoxu is willing to let them see. As for what the real emotion is, no one can know.

Li Daoxu said slowly, "Well, less than a year after leaving, he has changed from the Baodan realm to the Guizhen realm. Even with the previous foundation, this speed of advancement is a bit shocking. Lao Wu, do you know why your senior brother has advanced so quickly?"

Lu Yanbing was silent and secretly looked at Zhang Haishi who was sitting at the top.

Li Daoxu pressed the armrest and slightly emphasized his tone: "Are you mute?"

At this moment, Zhang Haishi said: "Just say what you should say, don't worry about saying the wrong thing."

"Yes." Lu Yanbing responded, raising his voice: "Replying to Master, when Senior Brother returned to Qizhou, he had already reached the Yuxu realm. Later, he took the 'Five Qi True Pill' to repair his realm, so that he could return to the true realm."

"Where did the 'Five Qi True Pill' come from?" Li Daoxu asked.

Lu Yanbing could not answer, so he could only kneel down silently and lie on the ground.

The whole main hall was silent.

Although it was Li Daoxu and Lu Yanbing's question and answer, others had been listening carefully, and they were also trying to figure out what the old master meant in their hearts.

In the end, it was Li Daoxu who broke the silence: "Second Master."

"Disciple is here." Zhang Haishi responded.

Li Daoxu said: "As far as I know, the refining of the 'Five Qi True Pill' requires the red fruit of the Zhengyi Sect, the longevity spring of the Cihang Sect, and the jadeite of the Xuannv Sect. All of them are precious and worth a fortune. Mr. Er, can you tell me where these things come from?"

Zhang Haishi slowly got up from the chair and replied: "Replying to the old sect master, the red fruit of the Zhengyi Sect was given by Yan Feiqing of the Zhengyi Sect, the longevity spring of the Cihang Sect was given by Su Yun'an of the Cihang Sect, and the jadeite of the Xuannv Sect was given by Yu Qingning of the Xuannv Sect."

Li Daoxu looked at Zhang Haishi: "Why did they give these to Li Xuandu? If I remember correctly, when the Imperial Capital Incident happened, these three people were all Li Xuandu. Xuandu's opponent. "

Zhang Haishi replied: "This is a different time. Zhengyi Sect stood on the side of the Queen Mother back then, but now it is at odds with the Queen Mother. Similarly, Zifu was against these three people back then, but today it can also turn enemies into friends. "

"What a good way to turn enemies into friends. "Li Daoxu smiled: "I didn't know that my disciples were so likable. Could they be goddesses and fairies? Otherwise, why are there so many people rushing to send opportunities and treasures? One was given the 'Demon Slaying Sword' by the Yin-Yang Sect, and the other was given the 'Five Qi True Pill' by the Three Sects of the Righteous Dao. "

As soon as these words came out, Li Taiyi couldn't sit still. He got up from his chair and knelt down beside Lu Yanbing.

At this time, Gu Yusheng, Li Rushi, and Situ Xuanlue were both nervous and embarrassed. They wanted to kneel down but it was not their business. If they didn't kneel down, they would see that the old sect master was really angry at this time. The three of them were frozen there, in a dilemma. They could only lower their heads and watch their noses and hearts. At this time, only Zhang Haishi dared to look at Li Daoxu straight in the eye, and then he found that there was no anger in Li Daoxu's eyes, but there was a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth, just like two chess players playing chess, one of them made a brilliant move and was waiting to see how the opponent would respond.

Zhang Haishi said: "Zifu has always been mature and prudent. Since he accepted the gifts from them, he has his reasons, and he will definitely give an explanation to the old master."

"Yes." Li Daoxu responded, saying: "Mr. Er has a point, then wait for Mr. Si to come back, and let him give me an explanation in person."

Zhang Haishi lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

Li Daoxu looked at Lu Yanbing and Li Taiyi who were kneeling, and said: "Mr. Wu and Mr. Liu, don't kneel anymore, get up."

The two responded "yes" in unison, slowly stood up, but did not dare to sit down, and still stood with their hands behind their backs.

Several gentlemen were all stunned, so Li Daoxu turned his gaze to the other three people, making them all nervous immediately.

"Madam San." Li Daoxu set his gaze on Gu Yusheng.

Even though Gu Yusheng was such a smooth-talking person, she felt nervous when she met the old master's gaze. She immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Old master."

Li Daoxu asked: "I heard that Lao Wu has a good friend who also came?"

Gu Yusheng replied: "It's Sister Qin from Wangqing Sect."

"Is it Qin Qing's daughter?" Li Daoxu smiled: "I heard that she has a good relationship with Lao Si, I wonder if it's true or not?"

Gu Yusheng hesitated for a moment, carefully considered her words and said: "Sister Qin and Uncle Si are indeed very close."

Li Daoxu changed the subject: "Lao Wu , you are good friends with this Miss Qin, then what is the relationship between the Fourth Brother and this Miss Qin?"

Lu Yanbing glanced at Gu Yusheng and answered honestly: "In reply to Master, Qin Su and Fourth Brother met in Guide Prefecture. At that time, Qin Su was entangled by Han Yaoyue, the deputy leader of Wangqing Sect, and Fourth Brother helped. Later, the two of them rescued Qin Daofang, the governor of Qizhou, from the hands of Qingyang Sect. Later, they joined forces to kill Tang Qin, the general of the Earth God of Qingyang Sect. As far as I know, Fourth Brother and Qin Su do have feelings for each other, but they are far from the stage of talking about marriage. "

Li Daoxu looked at Gu Yusheng again, raised his tone slightly and said, "But why did I hear that there are rumors in the world that the fourth brother wants to marry into the Qin family, and he also said that it was my intention, and he wanted to use the fourth brother to connect with Liaodong. Five sects?”

Gu Yusheng was shocked and hurriedly knelt down.

Fortunately, Li Daoxu left her face and did not continue talking, but turned around: "Situ Xuanluo."

"Here." Situ Xuanliu, who had not spoken, slowly stood up.

Situ Xuanluo is a middle-aged man who looks about forty years old. He has three long beards, a strange appearance, and has a literary temperament. Listening to the name, you will know that he has a lot to do with the great Mr. Situ Xuance. In fact, they are two brothers, but Situ Xuanluo's talent in refining Qi and sword training is far less than his brother, so he has been responsible for the Qing Dynasty over the years. All kinds of internal affairs within Weizong are in charge of money and rarely appear in the world, and have little reputation in the world.

"Family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs, and how many things rise and fall in the ages. People are not sages, so they can't care about everything." Li Daoxu said: "If you don't talk about these confusing accounts, you can report your income and expenditure surplus last year."

Situ Xuanluo was prepared, responded to "yes", pulled out a booklet from his sleeve, and after it was unfolded, he began to report the expenses of last year.

But the others were no longer interested in listening. Gu Yusheng and Zhang Haishi had a long time ago, while Li Taiyi and Lu Yanbing were all unrelated to their own affairs, and each was thinking about their own thoughts.

When Situ Xuanluo reported the accounts for the year, Li Daoxu just said the word "ke" lightly.

Situ Xuanluo immediately remained silent and refused to say a word.

Li Daoxu said again: "Lord Li."

Li Rushi hurriedly stood up, seeing that the others were not spared, and today he was not as confident as usual.

Li Daoxu said, "I heard you went to Langya Mansion when I was in seclusion?"

Li Rushi suddenly knelt down and dared not defend himself.

Li Daoxu glanced at him and said, "Are you going to see the fourth brother?"

Li Rushi said in a deep voice: "Please punish the old sect leader."

Li Daoxu smiled and said, "I heard that you were beaten with a stick by Mr. Second. Since Mr. Second has been punished, I will not punish you."

Li Rushi was relieved after a false alarm.

In this way, no one was not named by Li Daoxu.

Everyone was worried, and no one expected that the old sect leader who had been in seclusion all day long knew all the big and small things in the sect.

Then I saw the old sect leader who had been in charge of the Qingwei Sect for decades stood up from the chair: "This is the end of today's discussion. I will only remind you all of you. You can quarrel and fight, but you can't break the rules. Who can do this? If the rules are broken, the Qingwei Sect will no longer tolerate him."

After saying that, Li Daoxu left everyone behind and left alone.

Everyone said in unison: "Greatly send me the old sect leader."
