The old man sitting in the pavilion slowly placed a black chess piece on the chessboard and looked at the man in white who walked out of the void.
The man in white knelt on the ground and said, "Ancestor, Junior Brother Chu injured the maid of the outer sect's eldest disciple, Yao Jinghai, and was sent to the sect's prison by the Law Enforcing Elder Yue Cangyuan."
The old man's expression did not change much. He only frowned slightly and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. "What's wrong with Lu Fei? His subordinates are getting more and more reckless."
The Lu Fei that the old man mentioned was the outer sect's Great Elder. He was the true number one person in the outer sect and was in charge of all outer sect affairs. He had been the outer sect's Great Elder for forty years.
"Is Young Friend Chu someone he can touch? I must have a satisfactory outcome for this matter. If this matter is not handled well, Lu Fei's position will be moved. "
"Ancestor, please calm down." The man in white who had been observing the situation hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"There's nothing to be angry about. If he can't even restrain his subordinates, it's Lu Fei's fault. How about this? First, you have to ensure Young Friend Chu Chen's safety. If anyone dares to touch Young Friend Chu Chen, kill them. My Biquan Xianzong will not tolerate such people."
"I understand." The white-clothed man's expression became extremely solemn. He knew that the ancestor rarely got angry, but once he did, the consequences would be extremely terrifying. If this matter was not handled properly, the entire Jade Spring Immortal Sect might be in turmoil.
"Secondly, no one is allowed to restrict Young Friend Chu Chen's freedom. You must let Lu Fei handle this matter properly. You must ensure that Young Friend Chu Chen will not be unhappy. I believe that with Lu Fei's ability, he should be able to handle it. Otherwise …"
The old man's voice paused, causing the man in white to tremble slightly. "I will definitely convey this to Elder Lu Fei."
"Lastly, if Young Friend Chu Chen does not appear in the back of the mountain to play chess with an old man like me within three days, then … I'm afraid Lu Fei will not be able to bear the consequences."
The old man gently placed a chess piece on the chessboard. His expression was normal, but the man in white was sweating profusely. The clothes on his back were soaked.
"Go ahead. I'm old and my temper is much better. That's why I've become more patient. However, once my patience runs out …" The old man looked at the white-robed man meaningfully.
"Disciple will go right away. I believe that Elder Lu Fei will definitely not disappoint Old Ancestor."
The white-robed man felt like he was going to suffocate if he didn't leave. After he replied with much difficulty, he directly escaped into the void.
The white-robed man who was in the endless void finally gasped for breath. He kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and looked like he was about to collapse.
Indeed, accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger. Serving the Old Ancestor was not an easy task. If he had known earlier, he would have chosen to stay by the Sect Master's side.
However, now that things had come to this, he could only take advantage of the fact that the Old Ancestor was not truly angry to settle this matter. Otherwise, the entire Biquan Xianzong would inevitably be swept up in a huge storm.
After a slight adjustment, the white-robed man escaped from the void and arrived in front of a pure white building. This white mansion emitted a thick cold air that was almost visible to the naked eye.
This mansion made of century-old ice iron was the residence of the Outer Sect Great Elder, Lu Fei. Because he cultivated an ice attribute cultivation method, he spent a lot of money to build this "white palace" in the middle of the mountain.
Before the white-robed man could say anything, Lu Fei, who had received the news, immediately came out to greet him. This old man who looked like a lion had the domineering and arrogant aura of a high-ranking person. His every movement was filled with the aura of a powerhouse.
He was dressed in a gray brocade robe, but he had the demeanor of a tyrant who looked down on the world.
"Brother Fang, we're honored by your presence. Sorry for not going out to meet you." Lu Fei rarely smiled, but when he did, he was extremely forthright and bright. Because of his identity and status, it was always others who smiled at him.
However, the white-robed man's identity was extremely special. He had been by the Old Ancestor's side for many years, so he knew that he could not be neglected.
It was obviously not the white-robed man's first time here, and he was also familiar with Lu Fei. If it was in the past, he would definitely smile and return the greeting, but at this moment, there was no change in the expression on his face. He just nodded coldly.
Lu Fei had been in charge of the Outer Sect for decades. Although he had lived like a prince, he had seen all kinds of storms. At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He immediately brought the white-robed man to the tea room in his mansion and ordered the servants to leave.
Then he continued to smile obsequiously and said, "Is it because I'm old and muddle-headed? What did I do wrong that made Brother Fang unhappy? Brother Fang, please don't treat me as an outsider. If I did anything wrong, you must correct me. "
"Elder Lu, you're too polite."
The white-robed man's gaze retracted from the distant snow mountain outside the window.
This "Elder Lu" made Lu Fei's heart tighten. In the past, the white-robed man had always called him Big Brother Lu. Now he was calling him Elder Lu. It was obvious that he wanted to distance himself from him.
Could it be that he was in big trouble?
"No matter what, Brother Fang, please sit down and drink some tea. This is top quality Snow Mountain Spirit Lotus Tea. It's extremely beneficial to cultivation."
Great Elder Lu Fei was an old fox after all. Even if he was panicking in his heart, he still maintained a smile on the surface.
The white-robed man didn't say anything. He sat down in front of the tea table.
"Brother Fang, for you to come here personally, is there something big that has happened?"
"You are in charge of the Outer Sect. If something big happens, do you still need to ask me?" The white-robed man coldly asked.
"This … this …"
Lu Fei was still smiling at this time, but the smile on his face had already gradually stiffened.
"No wonder the High Ancestor said that he is becoming more and more disappointed in you. You are in charge of the Outer Sect, and yet you have no idea that something big has happened."
The white-robed man shook his head and sighed. Cold sweat seeped out from Lu Fei's forehead. He didn't think that this white-robed man would bring him news that the High Ancestor was disappointed in him. He had been in charge of the Outer Sect for many years, so he naturally knew that this was an extremely dangerous signal.
"Brother Fang, please enlighten me."
"Alright." The white-robed man sighed again. "Let me give you a hint. Have you locked anyone up in the Sect Prison recently?"
"There are many people locked up in the Sect Prison every day. There isn't anything special …" Lu Fei suddenly thought of something. "Recently, there has been a bit of a controversy. It seems that the Enforcement Elder Yue Cangyuan sent an Outer Sect disciple to the Sect Prison. Could it be because of this matter?"
"You're not completely confused." The white-robed man slowly said. "I might as well reveal a bit more information to you. That Outer Sect disciple called Chu Chen will enter the back mountain's mystic realm every three days to play chess with the High Ancestor. The High Ancestor has already formed a friendship with him. The two of them call each other brothers."
