PS: Today is the first day.
Mu Bingxin's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to order the maidservants to welcome the guest, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Then, the jade curtain was lifted, and a blue-robed Daoist with a scholarly face and three wisps of green beard had already stepped in. Behind him was a short and extremely shrewd young cultivator.
Mu Bingxin was stunned, and then she was secretly annoyed. Putting aside her status as an elder in the Pengyuan Sect, she was still a female immortal, but the other party didn't even greet her and just swaggered in like that. It could be said to be extremely rude.
But when she thought that the person who came in was Daoist He of Purple Bamboo Mountain, one of the four mansions and three mountains, and that his status in the sect wasn't low, she didn't dare to lose her temper. She forced a smile on her face and said, "Why did Senior Martial Brother He come? Why didn't you send someone to inform me so that Junior Martial Sister could welcome you in advance."
Daoist He looked at Mu Bingxin's face as soon as he came in, and the subtle changes in her expression fell into his eyes. He revealed a deep smile and said, "How could I dare to trouble Junior Martial Sister?"
Mu Bingxin waved her sleeves at Tong Ao, indicating for him to leave.
Tong Ao sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off. Without hesitation, he bowed and hurriedly walked out with his head lowered.
But at this moment, the young cultivator standing behind Daoist He took a step forward and blocked in front of him, saying, "Boy, I seem to have seen you somewhere before?"
Tong Ao was very puzzled. He had never interacted with this person before, so how did he know him? But his mind was sharp. With a glance, he saw that the young cultivator's expression was unfriendly, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately thought of the recent discord between Taihao School and Pengyuan Sect, and thought to himself, Not good, how did this young master get involved in a fight between immortals?
Sure enough, the young cultivator said unhurriedly, "I see that you're full of evil aura. Could it be that you're cultivating the demonic path?"
Tong Ao was familiar with the secrets of the hundred sects, so he quickly guessed his identity and immediately put on a look of surprise. He said, "Are you Daoist Liu?"
The young cultivator was startled and asked suspiciously, "You recognize me?"
"I heard that Daoist Liu is an outstanding talent among the third generation disciples of Taihao School …"
The young cultivator suddenly shouted and interrupted him, "Don't spout nonsense!"
He raised his hand, and a green light floated in the air. Then, a vine rope with knotted roots fell down from the sky.
Tong Ao had originally wanted to flatter Liu Sheng and fool him, but he did not expect that Liu Sheng was not a simple character. He didn't try to tangle with him at all and attacked as soon as he said he would.
However, no matter how good Mu Bingxin's self-restraint was, she couldn't endure taking someone in this cabin. She waved her sleeves. A ball of Gang Qi shot out like a pillar of smoke and stopped the vine. At the same time, he shouted, "Tong Ao, this has nothing to do with you. Get out!"
Tong Ao was scared out of his wits. He lowered his head and dashed away.
Mu Bingxin was extremely resentful. Tong Ao was indeed from a side sect, and he did have some relationship with the Devil Sect. But he had never done evil in his life, and even if he was a disciple of the Devil Sect, it wasn't this junior's turn to teach him a lesson here. She originally wanted to reprimand him, but when the words came to her mouth, she forcefully endured it and only said coldly, "This is Senior Brother He's disciple, right? How awe-inspiring. "
Spiritual Master He chuckled. He said, "This is a good-for-nothing disciple of mine. His surname is Liu, and his name is Sheng. He hasn't cultivated for more than sixty years, so his Dao Heart isn't firm. It's inevitable that he's a little impulsive.
Mu Bingxin only snorted.
Spiritual Master He gave the young cultivator a look, and the latter immediately withdrew the vine rope. He stood there with his arms by his side, as if nothing had happened.
Mu Bingxin said coldly, "Spiritual Master He has personally come to visit today. You must have something important to tell me."
Spiritual Master He ignored the impoliteness in her words and only smiled. He took out a letter from his sleeve and flicked it to the table. He placed it on the table. "This was personally written by my senior apprentice-brother Hong. Junior apprentice-sister, please take a look."
"A letter from Elder Hong?"
Mu Bingxin couldn't help but frown. This Elder Hong was a very important person in Taihao School, and his Dao Companion was originally a disciple sent by Pengyuan, but she had passed away many years ago.
She reached out to take the letter, but before she could, Spiritual Master He said, "The matter in the letter isn't something that can be decided by Junior Sister alone. My master and disciple will be leaving it for the next two days on Imperial Island's Rising Dragon Temple. When your sect has thought it through, you can come and find me."
He cupped his hands and bowed, and actually turned to leave the cabin. Before Liu Sheng left, he glanced at Mu Bingxin and also started to follow.
When the two of them reached the outer room, they rose into the air. Spiritual Master He said, "Disciple, did you see anything?"
Liu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Master, this Elder Mu is indeed afraid of our Taihao School's prestige. He deliberately humiliated her a few times, but didn't dare to do anything. This means that the rumors are wrong. She hasn't joined another sect yet, or she has this thought and hasn't taken any action yet."
"Correct." Spiritual Master He's eyes were full of praise. He said, "Your aptitude may not be as good as your deceased Senior Brother Huo, but you are much smarter. It's not in vain that I value you."
Taihao School originally wanted to sit back and watch Pengyuan fight with the disciples of the Devil's Doctrine. When they finally couldn't withstand it, they could come forward to clean up the mess. That way, they could smoothly take over the Startling Heavenly Palace.
But later on, there was news that Pengyuan had joined another sect. Spiritual Master He's action Just Now was to test the waters. However, Mu Bingxin's reaction in that instant was mostly fear, which meant that this was most likely a rumor. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tolerated it.
Spiritual Master He stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "The previous rumor should have been released by Pengyuan to force our Taihao School to come forward and help."
Liu Sheng said in a low voice, "Mu Bingxin is still an elder of a sect. Just Now humiliating her like this, isn't Master afraid of angering her and causing the matter to fall apart?"
Spiritual Master He glanced at him and said, "What do you know? Since I'm here, I'm here to be the bad guy. If I don't cut the Gordian knot and settle this matter quickly, I'm afraid there won't be a conclusion even when the sixteen sects compete. Just take it as a reminder to her. If she doesn't know what's good for her, then there's no need to care about her feelings."
Liu Sheng bowed his head and said, "Master is right."
Spiritual Master He patted his shoulder and said, "That Dan Huizhen is a Core Formation cultivator after all. Pengyuan Sect is He Zhangmen's direct disciple. If you can become dao companions with her, it won't be an injustice to you. After that, you can find a way to take over the Startling Heavenly Palace, which will be a great merit. If you don't like it in the future, you can just find another one."
Liu Sheng hurriedly expressed his thoughts and said, "Master, please understand. Your disciple is wholeheartedly cultivating and doesn't have the mind to think about such things. I'm already satisfied as long as I can share Master's worries."
Spiritual Master He glanced at him and said, "I hope you really think so."
With a flick of his sleeve, he used his escape technique and took Liu Sheng away through the clouds.
At this time, inside the cabin, after Mu Bingxin read the letter, she was so angry that her whole body trembled. She scolded, "Taihao School has gone too far! They've gone too far! "
The contents of the letter made her extremely angry. First, it proposed that as long as Liu Sheng and Dan Huizhen became dao companions, he could help Pengyuan Sect get through this difficult time. This was reasonable. However, there was a precondition for this, and that was that He Zhangmen had to step down and let Dan Huizhen take over as the sect master.
How could Mu Bingxin not see the wishful thinking in this? If Dan Huizhen became the sect master, the Morning Shock Heavenly Palace would definitely be under her control. If Liu Sheng borrowed this treasure, it would be perfectly justifiable. This kind of person and treasure could both be obtained by Taihao School.
She secretly gritted her teeth and slammed the table, saying, "Taihao School, even though my Pengyuan Sect is small, we don't need to act according to your wishes."
She turned around and ordered the maidservant beside her, "Go inform Huizhen that she's not allowed to go out and walk around for the next two days. Also, she's not allowed to see outsiders."
The maidservant could see that she was in a bad mood, so she answered while trembling with fear and hurriedly went out.
Mu Bingxin put her hand on her forehead and frowned in thought. After a full two hours, she had already made a decision. She got up and left the cabin, riding the clouds and arriving at Zhang Yan's resting place in a flash. She said, "Zhenren Zhang, Mu Bingxin has something to discuss with you. I wonder if it's convenient for you to meet."
After a while, Zhang Yan walked out and cupped his hands, saying, "So it's Elder Mu. I've been impolite. Please come in and take a seat."
Mu Bingxin secretly said, "Although Zhenren Zhang is from a large sect, he doesn't like to put on airs."
She bowed and walked into the inner room. The two of them sat down and said seriously, "Zhenren Zhang, I have a favor to ask of you."
Zhang Yan said in surprise, "Oh? Zhenren Mu, please speak. "
Mu Bingxin handed over the letter. "Zhenren Zhang, please take a look."
After reading the letter, Zhang Yan sighed slightly in his heart.
No matter what, Mu Bingxin was still the Grand Supreme Elder of Pengyuan Sect. Even the sect leader didn't dare to insult her, but Daoist He clearly didn't take her seriously. This was the sorrow of a small sect. The sect was not strong, so they could only rely on others.
If he had joined such a sect back then, even if he had gone through untold hardships and reached his current cultivation level, he still wouldn't have been able to win the favor of a disciple of a large sect.
He closed the letter and said in a deep voice, "How does Fellow Daoist want I to help you?"
Mu Bingxin bit her lip and said, "The disciple that my junior martial sister is most proud of is Martial Niece Dan. She will definitely inherit the position of sect leader in the future. I heard that Fellow Daoist Zhang has a fifth disciple, Jiang Zheng, who is outstanding in character and appearance, as noble and pure as bamboo. If Fellow Daoist agrees, the two of them can become dao companions and cultivate together."
After saying that, her fingers tightly grasped the hem of her clothes and she looked at Zhang Yan with a slightly nervous expression.
This matter was suspected of using Qincang School to avoid a disaster. Rather than hiding it, it was better to lay it out and say it out loud. That way, he could still be upright.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while, thinking about the pros and cons.
He didn't care much about Taihao School. This sect had a good relationship with Nanhua Sect and was originally at odds with Qincang School. It didn't matter even if he offended them.
However, since Dan Huizhen was going to inherit the position of sect leader of Pengyuan Sect, if the two of them became dao companions, Jiang Zheng would definitely not be able to cultivate in Clear Nether Heavenly Lake in the future.
As his master, if he made the decision for him like this, it would be unfair to him. Thus, he said, "I have no objections to this matter. It's just that I have never interfered with the private matters of my disciples. After we return, I can send my disciple to Pengyuan Sect to stay for two days. Whether or not he succeeds will be up to him."
When Mu Bingxin heard this, she was half happy and half worried, but there was still a trace of hope. Her heart relaxed a little.
She thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Daoist Zhang, Daoist He …"
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and waved his sleeve. He said, "If he comes to force Fellow Daoist, feel free to let him come find me. I will explain it to him."
