Only Daoist Master Xian Yue and Daoist Master Du Kong were left in the Heavenly Kun Peak's Zhengyang Hall. There were no outsiders present. In addition, the two of them were very familiar with each other, so they spoke much more casually.
However, Dao Master Du Kong couldn't help but be startled when he heard Dao Master Xian Yue's question. He replied, "He's still in closed-door meditation. Senior Brother Sect Master, you …"
Dao Master Xian Yue sighed. He didn't speak immediately. Instead, he stretched out his hand and gestured for Dao Master Dukong to sit down with him. Then, he called for someone to serve hot tea.
Dao Master Xian Yue signaled the servant boy to withdraw from the main hall. Then, Dao Master Xian Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, he heard Dao Master Du Kong praise the tea. Then, he cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "This tea is Little Crane."
Dukon Zhenren nodded. As the Kunlun Party's Heavenly Soldier Hall's first seat for many years, he had seen all kinds of things. However, he smiled bitterly and sighed. "This Little Crane tea is indeed excellent, but I probably won't be able to get it from the Yi Family in the future."
As for why he couldn't get the famous Little Crane tea, Dukon Zhenren did not say, but these two highly respected Perfected Ones naturally knew in their hearts. It must be because of the incident where He Gang bullied the Yi Family's young lady. Now that the Yi Family and the Kunlun Sect were like fire and water, they naturally couldn't get the tea.
Dukon Zhenren shook his head and stopped thinking about these stupid things. He turned to Perfected Idle Month and said seriously, "Senior Brother, you called me here and suddenly asked about my disciple, He Yi. What's the reason?"
Perfected Idle Month nodded and pondered for a while. "There was a murder case at Fragrance Garden a few days ago. Did you hear about the death of a servant disciple?"
Dukon Zhenren nodded and said, "I've heard about it, but I haven't been there to take a look. I only know some rough information. What's wrong, Senior Brother …"
Perfected Idle Month casually took out a scroll from her bosom and passed it to him. She said lightly, "It's about the situation in the house. Take a look for yourself."
Dukon Zhenren took it with some doubts. He first glanced at Perfected Idle Month, then lowered his head and began to flip through it. But as he read, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his expression became more and more solemn, for a moment, in the huge Zheng Yang Hall, there was only the sound of him flipping pages.
After a while, Dukon Zhenren finished looking at everything, his face had already become somewhat unsightly, he said in a deep voice, "The Evil Cult is actually so insolent, they are really going too far!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Perfected Idle Month. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Senior Brother, such a thing happened, and you suddenly asked about He Yi just now. Could it be that you want him to …"
"Let him come to see me." Perfected Idle Month stretched out her fingers and rubbed between her eyebrows. She said lightly, "I know you have high expectations of He Yi, but his younger brother did indeed provoke public anger in the matter a few days ago. As the elder brother, he also did something wrong. It's inevitable to punish him."
A trace of joy appeared on Dukon Zhenren's face. He stood up and said, "Of course. In fact, if it wasn't for Senior Brother Sect Leader who came forward to mediate for me that day, Qiandeng and Mingzhu from Baicao Tang might not have been willing to let this matter go so easily. I have always been grateful for this."
Perfected Idle Month nodded. She looked at Dukon Zhenren with a trace of satisfaction in her eyes. She said, "It's good that you know what you are doing. After the battle in the desolate valley ten years ago, the Evil Cult has been on the decline for many years. Very few people in the sect had contact with those evildoers. Only your disciple, He Yi, met with an accident in the Land of Chaos a few years ago. He fought with the remnants of the Evil Cult several times. I heard that it was a few years? "
"Three years." Dukon Zhenren immediately replied, "That child is strong-willed and unyielding. Because his family members died in the hands of the Evil Cult's demons, he hated the Evil Cult to the core. Therefore, he fought with those evildoers in the Land of Chaos for a long time. After three years, both sides suffered heavy losses before he returned to the mountain. But in terms of understanding the situation of the Evil Cult in our sect, there's no one better than him! "
Perfected Idle Month smiled and said, "I also thought of this, so … of course, if you think that he is in closed-door cultivation and it will affect his progress, it's not good for me …"
"Absolutely not!" Dukon Zhenren immediately opened his mouth and said resolutely and decisively, "Senior Martial Brother, I'm not an old fool. This is a chance that Senior Martial Brother is giving him, allowing him to come out of closed-door cultivation in advance. And the aristocratic families in Kunwu City can't say anything in front of the threat of the Evil Cult. We, master and disciple, will always remember this kindness in our hearts! "
Perfected Idle Month smiled and seemed to be a bit emotional. She said, "It's good that you know. All these years, there have always been people who are dissatisfied with my position as the Sect Head. They always say that when my Master retired to the Winter Peak, the position of Sect Head should have been passed on to Martial Uncle Tianlan. Alas … Junior Martial Brothers like Qiandeng and Mingzhu also have ambiguous attitudes towards this. Only you, who have been in charge of the Heavenly Soldier Hall for many years, have always firmly stood on my side. "
Dukon Zhenren sneered and said, "Senior Martial Brother, don't be angry. Who doesn't know what those people are thinking? They just want to take the opportunity to suppress us so that they can occupy more things on the strange peak in the sky. Ridiculous! What's more, when the position was passed on, we were all standing in this Zhengyang Hall. Even Martial Uncle Tianlan hasn't said anything yet. Since when did they have the right to complain? "
He cupped his hands and said seriously, "Senior Martial Brother, don't worry. Those clowns definitely can't overturn the sky. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, Martial Uncle Bai Chen is still on the Winter Peak. I don't think they dare to act recklessly. I'll call He Yi over to greet Senior Martial Brother now. If you have any instructions, just tell me. I'll ask that kid to do his best to help you catch this evildoer of the Evil Cult hiding in the dark. He definitely won't let Senior Martial Brother down. "
Immortal Idle Month nodded with a smile and said, "That's good."
Dukon Zhenren turned around and left. He walked vigorously and was obviously very happy. For a person of his cultivation and temperament, this was also rare. However, from this, it could be seen that Dukon Zhenren really liked his disciple He Yi from the bottom of his heart and had deep expectations for him. Encountering this kind of thing, he seemed to be happier than encountering a happy event.
Immortal Idle Month watched Dukon Zhenren leave. He was the only one left in the huge Zhengyang Hall. He turned around and sat silently for a while. Suddenly, he sighed softly and his face showed some inexplicable tiredness.
With his Master, who was a Perfected Lord of Huashen Sect, still alive and he was sitting in the position of Sect Leader, those people still dared to make irresponsible remarks from time to time. Did they really have the guts?
With just a few Perfected Masters in the Yuanying realm?
Immortal Idle Month smiled bitterly and his face gradually became heavy. He was afraid that … those people had someone backing them up.
…
In the Fragrant Garden, the competition to plant the Eagle Fruit Tree was disrupted by this sudden murder. Not to mention the others, even the leader, Melaleuca Japonica and the two Jin Dan Friar Lin Sheng, had not returned for a few days. The remaining odd-job disciples looked at each other and did not know what to do.
However, life still had to go on. In these days when all kinds of rumors were spreading wildly, everyone still came to the spiritual field as usual. Although they did not know if the competition could continue, they still had to do their work. It was just that some people slacked, some worked more, and some seemed to be especially serious.
This person who was especially diligent and serious was Lu Chen.
Every day when it was time for him to work, he did not slack off and honestly did all the things that he had to do. When he was free, he would gather with the others on the ridge of the fields and discuss the ups and downs of the past few days in a lively manner. He talked about that unfortunate person who died a violent death and together they imagined that if it was really the Evil Cult's doing, what kind of legendary evildoers would be like and so on and so forth.
Everyone did not have much opinion of the gentle and polite Lu Chen. Some even kindly reminded him not to waste his effort. Seeing that the two Uncle-Masters Yan and Lin had not returned for a few days, this matter was probably going to be ruined. Even if it was not ruined, they would at least have to compete again when the time came. Otherwise, if they were not here for the past few days, who could tell if there was anything fishy?
Lu Chen smiled and did not say anything. He nodded in agreement, but he still did what he had to do, and the others did not bother to criticize him.
After another two days, Melaleuca Japonica and Lin Sheng returned to the Grass Garden. It seemed that the sect had other arrangements for the two of them after hearing about the murder case.
But even though they were back, Melaleuca Japonica and Lin Sheng did not look too good, and they seemed to be in a bad mood. Then, as most people expected, they directly ignored the results of the few days of absence and announced to the crowd that the competition was invalid. They would organize another competition in a few days, and then try to pick out a suitable candidate.
In the crowd, Lu Chen was silent, but the people around him were all smiling. Occasionally, some of Lu Chen's peers would come over to tease him, pat him on the shoulder, and then earnestly teach Lu Chen things like "if you don't listen to your elders, you will suffer". Lu Chen also smiled bitterly, and then nodded, saying that everyone was right, that he really did not understand this principle, and that he had to focus on his cultivation in the future.
In short, this matter seemed to be over for the time being.
However, one day later, there was a sudden change that no one expected. Melaleuca Japonica and Lin Sheng once again gathered the crowd, and then with a complicated expression, they announced to everyone that there would be no more competitions in the future. This time, the candidate had been selected to work for the most popular genius of the Kunlun Party, Su Qingjun. The person who would grow the Eagle Fruit Tree for her was called Lu Chen.
The crowd was in an uproar, and when they looked over, even Lu Chen was dumbfounded, as if he did not know what was going on, and had a puzzled look on his face.
The crowd surrounded the two Jin Dan Friar and kept asking questions, and then Melaleuca Japonica calmly said that it did not matter who said it, because it was Su Qingjun who had directly selected the candidate.
The crowd was shocked and even more confused, and everyone kept talking at once. Melaleuca Japonica, on the other hand, looked at Lu Chen from afar with a meaningful look in her eyes, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.
