Not long after the people from the Tranquil Forest Sect left, a black figure quietly appeared at the back door of the Burning Sky Faction.
That person vigilantly observed the surroundings for a while, and after making sure there were no strangers nearby, he tiptoed out, and then used his movement skills to quickly run in the direction of Yan Lin Town!
In the Qin Family Mansion, Qin Shengling was chatting with Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu when a servant suddenly ran in, still looking a little flustered.
"What's going on? Could it be that someone from the Zhao Family has come to provoke us again? "Qin Shengling was all too familiar with the servant's appearance, and immediately frowned and asked.
"No … No!" The servant shook his head and reported respectfully, "Reporting to Master, there is a man dressed in black from Liuxian Prefecture outside the door who has come to visit. He claims to be the Managing Elder of the Burning Sky Faction, and also showed his identity token, saying that he has important matters to discuss with Master, so I hurriedly came in to report!"
"The Managing Elder of the Burning Sky Faction?" Qin Shengling was slightly startled when he heard this, and suddenly came to a realization. He suddenly stood up and said, "Could it be that Elder Gong has come? Quick, quickly invite him in! That's right, while you're at it, ask someone to prepare some top-notch snacks, and then brew a pot of top-notch Longjing tea! Remember to use seventy percent hot water! "
Qin Shengling first sent the servant to invite Elder Gong, and then hurriedly ordered the other servants to prepare various things. It seemed that he wanted to receive the visitor with the grandest etiquette of the Qin Family, and absolutely could not be neglected.
Seeing Qin Shengling's nervous look, Xiao Chen felt that it was very interesting, and asked with a slight smile, "Old Patriarch Qin, I didn't expect that you would prepare such a grand welcoming ceremony for just one person. It seems that this Managing Elder is an old friend of yours?"
"Hehe, it can't be considered an old friend. This old man just had the fate to meet this Managing Elder once." Qin Shengling touched his nose and answered a little embarrassedly.
Qin Shengling thought that Xiao Chen was "jealous." After all, when Xiao Chen was invited to the Qin Family by Qin Taotian, he did not give him such treatment, and instead gave him the cold shoulder, so he felt a little awkward at this time.
"Oh? Since it's not a firm friendship, then it seems that the Burning Sky Faction has a very strong background? "Xiao Chen didn't care about Qin Shengling's thoughts, but continued to ask with interest.
Qin Shengling explained with a smile, "Exalted Deity Xiao, you may not know this, but the Burning Sky Faction is one of the two major factions in Liuxian Prefecture. The other one is the Tranquil Forest Sect. The power of these two factions basically covers the entire Liuxian Prefecture. No other faction can compete with them."
"So that's how it is. I wonder how strong these two sects are?" Xiao Chen nodded and asked curiously, "Burning Sky Faction or Tranquil Forest Sect, which one is stronger?"
Although he had been in the Immortal Cultivation World for quite some time, Xiao Chen was still not very clear about the distribution of power in Liuxian Prefecture. Since he had the opportunity, he wanted to understand more about it.
"I heard that the strength of these two sects is about the same. Both are quite powerful, which is why they each occupy half of the sect. Neither sect can destroy the other." Qin Shengling rubbed his chin and answered hesitantly.
"Then are there any powerful experts in their sects? What level are they? "Xiao Chen was still not satisfied and continued to ask.
"Uh … I don't know about that." Qin Shengling's face fell. He grinned helplessly and said gloomily, "With the Qin Clan's current strength, it is not enough to reach that level."
Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw a servant leading a middle-aged man from outside the door.
The middle-aged man walked to the center of the hall and stood firmly. He first swept his gaze over everyone present. His gaze lingered on Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu for a while. Then, he bowed slightly to Qin Shengling and said in a clear voice, "Clan Master Qin, I am Gong Shaoxi, the Acting Elder of the Burning Sky Faction. It is our first time meeting. Nice to meet you!"
"Elder Gong, please don't be so polite!" Qin Shengling waved his hands and walked in front of Gong Shaoxi. He said very eagerly, "It is our great honor to have an elder of such a big faction like you visit our Qin Clan as a guest! This Qin is deeply honored. Come, come, come, please take a seat! "
Qin Shengling made an inviting gesture to Gong Shaoxi and led both Xiao Chen and Gong Shaoxi to the seat of honor. He then stood respectfully to the side and quietly waited for instructions.
He was still a little nervous in his heart. He did not know why Gong Shaoxi had suddenly come to visit.
"Hehe, Clan Master Qin, there is no need to be so restrained. You should also sit down and chat!" Gong Shaoxi looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise and then said to Qin Shengling with a smile.
Qin Shengling smiled embarrassedly and found a guest seat to sit down. He only dared to sit on half of the seat and looked very serious and nervous.
Seeing that Qin Shengling was very respectful towards Xiao Chen, Gong Shaoxi guessed that this young man in front of him had a very prominent identity. Therefore, he maintained his smile and asked politely, "This young hero must be the Qin Clan's Honorable Xiao Qiang, right? You are indeed a promising young man to be able to make the old ghost of the Secluded Forest Sect go to war for you. May I ask, which sect are you a proud disciple of? "
"Hmm? You know my name? " Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback. He did not expect that the first thing Gong Shaoxi asked after his polite greetings was actually about his situation. He could not help but look at him with extreme vigilance.
Although Xiao Chen did not feel that this fellow had any hostility towards him, he had always been cooped up in Yan Lin Town. There should not be many people who knew his name. Where did Gong Shaoxi hear it from? And who was that old ghost of the Secluded Forest Sect? Why did he go to war for him?
"Hahaha, young hero need not be nervous. Do you still remember that old man, Guan Weicai, who was killed by you? He is the Zhao Clan's Honorable Disciple. He is a disciple of the Secluded Forest Sect! "Gong Shaoxi waved his hand and signaled for Xiao Chen to be at ease before explaining.
"Then you are …" The doubt in Xiao Chen's heart did not diminish. A disciple of the Secluded Forest Sect was killed by him. Shouldn't the Secluded Forest Sect come to find trouble with him? Why did the people from the Burning Sky Sect come here?
"Haha, actually, the whole thing is like this …" Gong Shaoxi did not keep him in suspense. With a smile on his face, he briefly described the relationship between the Burning Sky Sect and the Secluded Forest Sect. Then, he recounted how the Secluded Forest Sect brought people to provoke the Burning Sky Sect.
"So that's how it is. I was still puzzled. Xiao Qiang, my husband, you did not advertise, nor did you leave Yan Lin Town. How did your reputation spread so quickly? It gave me a big fright!" Hong Zhu, who was sitting on the other side, came to a sudden realization after listening. He curled his lips and said, "I thought that there would be many women coming to snatch my husband from me very soon! Scared this baby to death! "
