"What's the result?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile. He had already expected this result. This time, Su Chuanan and Zhao Ying had teamed up, and adding on to the fact that the fault was originally on Nangong Shuo, how could Nangong Shuo withstand it? The only uncertainty was how much Nangong Shuo had lost this time.
Su Chuanan stroked his beard and said, "This time, not only did I uncover that Wang Kuan, I also took out all the crimes committed by the other stewards. All the stewards involved were expelled from the sect, and the Wang father and son were punished the heaviest. All of their cultivations were crippled, and they were expelled from the territory of the Profound Ice Pavilion, including the territories of the other third-grade sects. There will be no place for them to stay."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but secretly praise Su Chuanan's decisiveness. It seemed that Su Chuanan had already investigated these matters in private, but he never had the chance to make a move. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to find out the crimes of so many stewards in such a short period of time. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Ying was willing to join hands with him, he suddenly erupted, catching Nangong Shuo off guard. In the past, Zhao Ying did not interfere in the matters of the sect, which allowed Nangong Shuo to firmly suppress Su Chuanan. Now that Zhao Ying was willing to make a move, Nangong Shuo realized that he was actually at a disadvantage.
"According to the sect's rules, the Wang father and son should be sentenced to death, right? Why only cripple their cultivation and expel them from the country? "Lu Xuan asked with a puzzled expression.
Su Chuanan also said with some confusion: "It should have been like this, but Leng Qingqiu spoke up to protect the Wang father and son, which saved their lives. I also don't want to force them to be too ruthless, so I took a step back here."
Lu Xuan was puzzled. With Leng Qingqiu's character, she shouldn't stand up for someone at Wang Kuan's level. Could it be that there was some unknown relationship between them?
But for a moment, Lu Xuan was too lazy to think about it. For people like Wang Kuan and his son, crippling their cultivation and expelling them from the country was probably not much better than directly killing them.
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Then I presume Elder Su's harvest this time is not small?"
It wasn't easy for Su Chuanan to gain the upper hand. He was definitely not someone who would easily retreat. Since he had promised Leng Qingqiu to bypass the Wang father and son, he would definitely advance in other areas.
Sure enough, Su Chuanan's face was full of smiles as he said, "All the stewards who were found to be problematic this time have been expelled, and their successors will be assigned by me."
After saying that, Su Chuanan pretended to sigh and said, "In the future, the burden on my shoulders will be even heavier. In my hands, I will definitely not allow Wang Kuan to commit such vile acts."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart. Su Chuanan was trying to show off after getting a bargain. Simply put, he had snatched a portion of the power from Nangong Shuo's hands. This was the first time he had such a big harvest after fighting with Nangong Shuo for so long.
And from this, Su Chuanan also realized the importance of Lu Xuan. Although the one who helped him this time was Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying didn't care much about external affairs. If he wanted to win over Zhao Ying, he could only start with Lu Xuan. Wasn't it simple? Su Chuanan didn't know whether Zhao Ying doted on Lu Xuan or not, but everyone knew that she doted on Zhao Binger. Zhao Binger listened to Lu Xuan, so winning over Lu Xuan was the same as winning over Zhao Binger and Zhao Ying.
Hearing that Su Chuanan had already grasped a portion of the power, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be moved. He had just promised Li Caidie to arrange a task for her. Originally, he was still thinking about who to trouble, but now it seemed that Su Chuanan could directly arrange it. After all, the power was already in his hands.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan directly said: "Elder Su, I have a friend who wants to get a job. I wonder if Elder Su can help arrange it?"
Worried that Su Chuanan wouldn't agree, Lu Xuan said: "This time, Wang Kuan and his son were actually reported by her. She was originally a disciple under Wang Kuan's management."
After hearing this, Su Chuanan suddenly fell into deep thought and didn't say anything for a long time. Lu Xuan was a little unhappy in his heart. Isn't it just asking you to arrange a good supervisor? Is it so difficult?
Seeing the unhappy expression on Lu Xuan's face, Su Chuanan gritted his teeth and said: "Since Lu Xuan has asked, then I naturally have to help. Let your friend take over Wang Kuan's position. If it wasn't for him helping to report, we might not have discovered such a terrible matter."
After hearing Su Chuanan's words, Lu Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect Su Chuanan to be so generous as to directly give up a supervisor position. Now, he finally understood why Su Chuanan was so hesitant. It turned out that Su Chuanan thought that he was directly asking for a supervisor position from him.
This couldn't be blamed on Su Chuanan. With his foresight, how could he have expected that Lu Xuan only wanted a supervisor position? Although he had ruthlessly bitten off a piece of meat from Nangong Shuo, there were too many monks and not enough gruel. This was why he was hesitant. However, when he thought of Lu Xuan's usefulness to him, he hardened his heart and gave a supervisor position to Lu Xuan.
After understanding this, the smile on Lu Xuan's face instantly brightened. Since Su Chuanan was willing to give up his treasure, how could he not want it? However, Li Caidie had picked up a great bargain and directly sat in the supervisor position. For her, it was not an exaggeration to say that she had soared to the sky.
"Then, many thanks to Elder Su. My friend's name is Li Caidie. Elder Su can treat her as one of your own."
Su Chuanan couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan a few more times. From the name, it sounded like a woman. Lu Xuan was a little too daring. He actually dared to speak up for his lover in front of Zhao Bing`er?
After he finished speaking, Su Chuanan arranged a banquet to entertain Lu Xuan, Zhao Ying, and the others. If it was in the past, Zhao Ying wouldn't appear for such a banquet. However, she had just joined hands with Su Chuanan to suppress Nangong Shuo, so it wasn't good for her to refuse.
On the way back, Zhao Ying opened her mouth and said to Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, Su Chuanan is also a person with wild ambitions. In essence, he is no different from Nangong Shuo. It's best if you don't get too close to him."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "This disciple understands. However, now that they have a place to use us, we can also use him. If we can cooperate, there's no harm in cooperating."
Zhao Ying lightly nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that I will join hands with him to deal with Nangong Shuo. Otherwise, the Mysterious Ice Pavilion will become Nangong Shuo's backyard."
Because of Zhao Bing`er's previous encounter, Zhao Ying had a deep prejudice against Nangong Shuo.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, according to the current situation, the next Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Ice Pavilion will either fall into Nangong Shuo's or Su Chuanan's hands. I don't think it's a good thing. Master, why don't you take up the position?"
Zhao Ying faintly smiled and shook her head, "I don't care about these things. It's good enough for me to live my life peacefully. The reason why I'm involved in these matters is to protect you all, so that you won't be bullied."
Although her words were calm, they came from the bottom of her heart. Lu Xuan was a little touched when he heard this. With Zhao Ying's personality, there was no way she would do so many things. She was indeed thinking for them.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be a little curious. He didn't know what happened to Zhao Ying. As the daughter of the previous Mysterious Ice Pavilion Master, she was acting so aloof from worldly affairs. It could even be said that she was tired of the world.
Lu Xuan felt that as her disciple, he had the responsibility to help his master untie the knot in her heart. However, it was clearly not the right time. He could only take it slowly. Zhao Bing`er might know, but unfortunately, she didn't even mention a word to him.
"That's right, Master, your disciple has a junior sister. Her talent is not bad, and she had a fortuitous encounter in the Profound Ice Secret Realm. It's a pity that she hasn't found a suitable master yet. I wonder if Master can accept another disciple?" Lu Xuan looked at Zhao Ying eagerly as she tried to promote Xia Chenxi.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying only lightly shook her head and said, "Bing`er has already told me about this matter. However, the commotion I've caused during this period of time is already too big. If I make any more moves, I'm afraid that Su Chuanan and Nangong Shuo will have some ideas about me. I don't want to implicate you all, so it's better to wait for a while before talking about it."
Lu Xuan felt a little regretful, but Zhao Ying didn't say anything definite, so it was better to wait for a while before bringing it up again.
Yunxuan Hall was as cold and cheerless as ever. Du Xiaomao had gone to look for her former sisters, but she still hadn't returned. Zhao Ying went straight to the silent room to cultivate, while Lu Xuan sneaked into Zhao Bing`er's room and did a good job on her.
Last time, he was almost made weak at the knees by Zhao Bing`er, but this time, Lu Xuan rallied himself and wanted to fight for three hundred rounds. He only stopped when Zhao Bing`er was exhausted. Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little proud. Let's see if you still dare to squeeze me dry.
After the deed was done, Lu Xuan refused to leave Zhao Bing`er's room. Zhao Bing`er pushed him away a few times, but he still wouldn't leave. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry as she said, "Hurry up and go back. If Master finds out, then I'll be so embarrassed."
Lu Xuan said lazily, "Don't worry, Master doesn't have time to care about us. Besides, Du Xiaomao isn't here either. I'm not leaving today anyway. I'll wait for you to squeeze me dry."
Seeing how shameless Lu Xuan was, even bringing up the matter from last time, Zhao Bing`er had no choice but to let Lu Xuan sleep here. Lying in Lu Xuan's warm embrace, it was quite cozy.
However, this cozy feeling was finally broken in the middle of the night!
An earth-shaking feeling came over, and Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er instantly woke up. They saw that the entire Yunxuan Hall was shaking, and the soft bed was shaking non-stop, as if it was about to break.
"What happened? Did someone come to attack Profound Ice Pavilion? " Lu Xuan hurriedly sat up and asked. He was no longer sleepy. Such a huge tremor was definitely not something that could be done by an ordinary person.
Zhao Bing`er also quickly got up and put on her clothes. With a slightly serious expression, she said, "This isn't an attack on the mountain, but a tremor in the spirit vein. Something big must have happened!"
"A tremor in the spirit vein?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised. It was rumored that Profound Ice Pavilion was built on a spirit vein, and now it seemed that it was true.
"What could have happened to cause a tremor in the spirit vein?" Lu Xuan asked again.
"The appearance of a new Spirit Vein, or the appearance of an ancient dwelling, no matter which one it is, is definitely a big deal. If it's the former, I'm afraid there will be a bloodbath. If it's the latter, it will also cause a fight," Zhao Bing`er explained.
At this time, Zhao Ying's voice also sounded in their ears, "Lu Xuan, Bing`er, come see me in the hall."
Lu Xuan looked at his naked body and felt a little awkward. Since Zhao Ying had sent him a message, she must have known that he was in Zhao Bing`er's room. He had previously sworn that Zhao Ying would not find out, but now it seemed that he had been overthinking.
Zhao Bing`er also rolled her eyes at Lu Xuan, but she was too lazy to argue with him now. Anyway, Zhao Ying already knew about the two of them.
