"Yes, yes, I will do it immediately. I will not hide anything." Duan Geng wiped his sweat. It seemed that Miss Bing'er did not intend to pursue the matter, which was a blessing in disguise. It was just that it was a pity for the one thousand and three hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones.
"Also, arrange for them to stay in the guest house. Just say that it was my order. The people in the guest house will naturally not make things difficult for you." Zhao Binger continued. Since she wanted to gain face for Lu Xuan, she naturally had to do it.
It seemed that the guy called Lu Xuan had a close relationship with Miss Bing'er … Duan Geng could not help but think that the guest house was usually used to welcome the people from the other fourth-grade sects. This time, they actually let the people from the third-grade sects stay there. However, since Zhao Binger had given the order, he would do as she said.
"Oh yes, don't mention my name to the people from Wind Sword School. Remember." Zhao Binger added. In her heart, she wanted to give Lu Xuan a surprise. This guy was probably still worried about her, right?
She clearly remembered that when she was about to leave in the stone cave, Lu Xuan overestimated himself and wanted to fight to the death with Nangong Shuo. Even now, when she recalled it, Zhao Binger felt extremely touched. Her heart was filled with sweetness. There was a man who was willing to die for her. What else could she ask for?
After Zhao Binger had given all the orders, Duan Geng then left. He wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh of relief.
After he handed the name list of the people from Wind Sword School to Elder Gu, he rushed to the place where the people from Wind Sword School were. He secretly complained in his heart. He hoped that they would not hold a grudge. He was also a smart person. He naturally knew who he could bully and who he could not offend.
When Duan Geng arrived, the people from Wind Sword School had just settled down. Seeing that the guy who had extorted one thousand and three hundred mid-grade Primordial Stones from Instructor Yang had come again, they naturally did not have a good expression.
"What are you doing here again?" Xiao Long stared at Duan Geng and asked. He was extremely angry in his heart. Could it be that this guy thought that he and the others were easy to bully? He had not played with them and still wanted to extort them? If it wasn't for the fact that Duan Geng had the Mysterious Ice Pavilion behind him, he would have already launched an attack.
But this time, Duan Geng's performance greatly exceeded Xiao Long's expectations.
Duan Geng squeezed out a smile and said, "Little brother, you've misunderstood. I have no ill intentions. Uh … May I ask if Brother Lu Xuan from your sect is here?"
A look of astonishment flashed across Xiao Long's face. Did this fellow take the wrong medicine? Just a moment ago, he had been sneering and mocking them, but now, he was calling them little brother. If he was not mistaken, this fellow seemed to have come to express his goodwill.
"What happened?" Instructor Yang's voice rang out. The commotion at Xiao Long's side had already alarmed everyone, and they all gathered around.
As soon as he saw Duan Geng, Instructor Yang's face darkened. He suppressed his anger and said, "Sir, don't go too far. There must be a bottom line in everything. We have all come according to your request!"
"No, no, no, Yang … Chief Instructor, you've misunderstood. Previously, I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended all of you. I hope that all of you can be magnanimous and forgive me. This time, I'm here to apologize." Duan Geng hurriedly explained, but in his heart, he felt wronged. Who knew that a small Wind Sword School would be able to climb up to Miss Bing'er.
However, Instructor Yang didn't quite believe it. He looked at Duan Geng with a face full of suspicion. He kept thinking, "What kind of game is this fellow playing? The people from the Mysterious Ice Pavilion have always been arrogant in front of us, but this time, they actually apologized for the first time?"
However, one shouldn't hit a smiling person. Since this fellow didn't make things difficult for them, Instructor Yang couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, Lu Xuan, Xia Chenxi, and Chen Xiaohan happened to come over.
Duan Geng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Lu Xuan at the back. Although he didn't know who the Lu Xuan that Miss Bing'er mentioned was, he had a vague feeling that only this fellow would be able to enter Miss Bing'er's eyes.
"Your Excellency, are you Brother Lu Xuan?" Duan Geng walked past Instructor Yang and asked hurriedly.
Lu Xuan was slightly startled, and then nodded, "That's me." It really was him.
Duan Geng's heart was at ease, and he heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly took out the storage ring that Instructor Yang "gave" him and handed it to Lu Xuan, saying, "Previously, I didn't know Brother Lu's identity. I'm really sorry for offending you. This is your storage ring. None of the one thousand and three hundred intermediate grade stones inside have been touched. Now, it's returned to its rightful owner. We're all on the same side, so Brother Lu doesn't have to teach me a lesson."
Lu Xuan subconsciously took the storage ring that Duan Geng handed over. Hearing him call him brother and elder brother, as if the two of them were very close, Lu Xuan was puzzled. Previously, he didn't know my identity? What identity do I have? Why didn't I know?
However, when Duan Geng's words reached the ears of the rest of the people from Wind Sword School, it immediately set off a storm in their hearts. Who exactly is Junior Brother Lu? Even the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's Deacon has to treat him with respect?
Not only that, but he also vomited out everything he ate. That was one thousand and three hundred intermediate grade stones. Even if Duan Geng was the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's Deacon, it was definitely not a small amount. Now, he vomited it all out.
Kong Wenbin was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out. He originally thought that Lu Xuan was just a commoner who relied on his talent to suppress him. But now, Duan Geng's performance instantly overturned Lu Xuan's image in his heart.
This was the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's Deacon, and he didn't even give face to Instructor Yang. Now, he was trying his best to please a mere Lu Xuan. Isn't this world too crazy?
Duan Geng didn't even care about the Chief Instructor of Wind Sword School. Obviously, what he cared about was not Lu Xuan's identity as a mere core disciple, but something else.
Duan Geng didn't care about what others thought. He only wanted to serve Lu Xuan well. When he saw Lu Xuan accept the storage ring that he returned, he was relieved. It seemed that Lu Xuan was still easy to talk to and wouldn't take advantage of his position to bully others.
"That, Little Brother Lu, just now, someone from above ordered that with your identity, it's really not suitable for you to stay here. The guest house has already been prepared. Let's go now. That's where Little Brother Lu should stay, haha," Duan Geng said with a laugh.
Guest house. Wasn't that the incomparably beautifully decorated pavilion that they saw just now? Previously, Deacon Duan had said that it was used to welcome people from fourth-rank sects. Now, he actually wanted them to stay there?
All the disciples of Wind Sword School were dumbfounded. In their eyes, Lu Xuan's identity was constantly rising. If it was reasonable for Duan Geng to return the items, then arranging for them to stay in a place like the guest house was definitely not something that a small Deacon could do. At least, it had to be an Elder of Mysterious Ice Pavilion to have this authority, and it had to be an Elder with real power, like Elder Jin of the inner sect.
Moreover, Duan Geng also said that it was someone from above who ordered him to do so. The two words on the top made a lot of sense. However, there was no doubt that the reason why the higher-ups gave such an order and why Duan Geng's attitude changed 180 degrees was definitely because of Lu Xuan.
"You're saying that your higher-ups ordered you to do this? Who is it?" Lu Xuan asked doubtfully. At the same time, he quickly thought. He was a native of Lin City and definitely did not have any special background. The only possibility was … Zhao Binger!
Thinking of Zhao Binger, Lu Xuan could not help but feel excited. Zhao Binger would stand up for him. Was she alright? Mysterious Ice Pavilion did not make things difficult for her?
"Uh … Little Brother Lu, don't make things difficult for me. They asked me to keep it a secret. When the time comes, Little Brother Lu will naturally know, haha." Duan Geng really did not dare to say that it was Zhao Binger.
Hearing this, the excitement on Lu Xuan's face gradually disappeared. The originally warm aura gradually became ice-cold, emitting an eerie chill.
Duan Geng was a little surprised. He did not know why Lu Xuan suddenly became like this. However, he did not dare to say much. Lu Xuan's state was obviously not right. Naturally, he would not go up and get into trouble.
It must be her!
Although Duan Geng did not say it, Lu Xuan was not a fool. The only person who could help him was definitely Zhao Binger. However, why did she not see him? She was not even willing to tell him that she was the one who helped him.
Lu Xuan immediately put the blame on Mysterious Ice Pavilion. From his point of view, Zhao Binger had absolutely no reason to not see him. The only reason was that Mysterious Ice Pavilion restricted Zhao Binger's movements or punished her in some way. As for the last reason, Lu Xuan did not dare to think about it.
Because of that reason, Zhao Binger had already given in and even got together with the big senior from Mysterious Ice Pavilion. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, she purposely did not see him.
No matter what the reason was, Lu Xuan could not accept it. He wanted to find Zhao Binger and at least ask her what was going on. If Zhao Binger did not want to see him, then he would not force her. However, if Mysterious Ice Pavilion did something to Zhao Binger, then he would definitely not let it go!
Zhao Binger probably would not have thought that she only wanted to give Lu Xuan a surprise, but was misunderstood by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan gradually calmed down. This was still Mysterious Ice Pavilion's territory. With his strength, he could not do anything to Mysterious Ice Pavilion. Not to mention questioning the higher-ups of Mysterious Ice Pavilion, it would not be easy to even find Zhao Binger. He could only endure for now and wait for the right time.
Feeling the coldness on Lu Xuan's body gradually disappear, Duan Geng then dared to speak, "Little brother Lu? Are you alright? If there is nothing, how about we set off now? "
Lu Xuan's gaze swept across the faces of the Wind Sword School's disciples. What he saw was full of anticipation. They naturally hoped that Lu Xuan would agree. Not to mention that the environment of the guest house was much better than here, it was also something that they could be proud of in the future.
Although Lu Xuan did not want to accept this inexplicable kindness, he did not want to disappoint his fellow disciples. He immediately nodded and said, "Since that person has this kind intention, then so be it."
