Chu Xiu had already decided to go to Donghai County to meet Master Tan Yuan, who was famous in Jianghu.
However, in the face of the second prince, Chu Xiu remained calm and said, "With my friendship with His Highness, this is not a problem. But now I have offended the Crown Prince. What should I do if the Crown Prince comes to make trouble for me? "
The second prince waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Since I asked you to go on my behalf, how could I not consider this problem?
Although my eldest brother's identity and status are enough to meet Master Tam Yuan, my father is worried that he is too young to control the situation, so he specially sent another influential Wu Dao Grand Master, Xiao Baiyu, the Chancellor of Jixia Academy.
Lord Xiao Baiyu never participates in the struggle between princes, but there is a senior behind me who once made Lord Xiao Baiyu owe him a favor. If you go there, I will ask someone to bring a message to Lord Xiao Baiyu. As long as Lord Xiao Baiyu is there, my elder brother will never dare to hurt you. "
Chu Xiu nodded. He believed what the second prince said. With Xiao Baiyu's status in Eastern Qi, even the Crown Prince had to be polite to him.
Although Xiao Baiyu was only a Wu Dao Grand Master and not in the True Fire Realm, he was more important to Eastern Qi than an expert in the True Fire Realm.
Every year, Jixia Academy provided a large number of potential masters to the Eastern Qi imperial court. These people were the hope of the future for Eastern Qi, and Jixia Academy was a continuous existence for the future of Eastern Qi.
Therefore, Xiao Baiyu's status in the Eastern Qi imperial court was very special. Whether it was the emperor of Eastern Qi or the general, they all had to be polite to Xiao Baiyu.
With this promise, Chu Xiu directly took the second prince's gift to Donghai Prefecture.
The second prince was not afraid that Chu Xiu would run away with the gift, because Master Tam Yuan was already a dying man. The second prince did not expect to win the support of Master Tam Yuan by sending a gift, so this time he just asked Chu Xiu to bring his gift to build up his reputation. The gift was naturally not something valuable. It was just a string of Buddha beads left by an eminent monk in antiquity times. Although it had been immersed in Buddha's light for a long time and had some power, it was not a precious treasure.
With the gift, Chu Xiu directly went all the way to Donghai Prefecture.
Donghai Prefecture was adjacent to the East Sea. Originally, it was not a prosperous place, and only some fleets coming and going from the East Sea often rested here. Therefore, the warriors of Eastern Qi and those on the islands of the East Sea were relatively common here.
But with the news that Master Tam Yuan was about to return to the Central Plains, many people came to Donghai Prefecture in person, ready to see the glory of Master Tam Yuan, and most of them were warriors of the Buddhism Sect.
In recent years, the Buddhism Sect was still extremely strong, but this strength was only in terms of force.
When it came to the masters of the Great Light Temple or the Subodhi Zen Temple, whether it was Xu Yun or Xu Ci, people would only say that they were masters of the Buddhism Sect, but they would not be given the title of Holy Monk.
To put it bluntly, even if someone wanted to give them the title, they would be too embarrassed to admit it.
Therefore, Tan Yuan was now almost recognized in Jianghu as a master of the Buddhism Sect, a Holy Monk of Great Virtue, worthy of being admired by many masters of the Buddhism Sect.
At this time, a dense crowd of warriors had gathered at the Dragon Beach at the mouth of Donghai Prefecture, waiting for the arrival of the fleet carrying Master Tam Yuan.
Chu Xiu was also leaning on a boulder, holding a pot of yellow wine that he had brought from a small town outside the Dragon Beach, and he was drinking it slowly.
In fact, Chu Xiu had already been waiting here for two days. Of course, there was no fixed time for sailing on the sea, so Chu Xiu also patiently waited here, and at the same time, thought about what he would say when he met Master Tan Yuan.
Of course, the most important thing was to lean his state of mind on Li Yuan.
Only the heavens knew what he had said back then that could make a Holy Monk like Great Master Tan Yuan hand over all his knowledge to someone like Li Yuan.
Although Chu Xiu did not have the qualifications to comment on Li Yuan's character, at the very least, that fellow could not be considered a good person.
Furthermore, although he later became the Northern Zhenbei King of Eastern Qi, a general who had once turned the tide and led the declining Eastern Qi to defeat the Northern Yan, and had a good reputation in Eastern Qi, he was a hero to the enemy. At that time, Li Yuan was worthy of being called vicious and merciless. The people of the Northern Yan hated him to the core.
While Chu Xiu was deep in thought, there wasn't a single person around him. The closest person to him was over a hundred feet away.
As the person ranked sixth on the Longhu Leaderboard, everyone present naturally knew of Chu Xiu. In Eastern Qi, Chu Xiu's reputation was not that good.
News of what had happened in the southwest had not spread so quickly. After all, the southwest was a remote and uncivilized land. Not to mention killing a few people, even if Chu Xiu had massacred a few sects, it would not have been obvious.
But now that he had appeared here, some Anemophilia heard some news and spread the news of what Chu Xiu had done in the southwest. After all, others might not know about this, but the Anemophilia definitely knew. However, the person who spread the news was probably not from Wind Sweeping Tower. Wind Sweeping Tower's Anemophilia still had professional ethics and would not have such a cheap mouth.
So in this way, everyone also knew that Chu Xiu had actually interfered in the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince and had begun to stir up trouble in the southwest. This fellow was really not a person who would settle down, so it was better to stay away from him.
However, everyone was also a little curious about what Chu Xiu was doing here. Was he also here to welcome Master Tam Yuan?
They all knew that Chu Xiu and those filthy people from the Great Light Temple had a lot of enmity with him from the Buddhist Sect. In the end, Chu Xiu had come to welcome the Buddhist Sect's Holy Monk, Tan Yuan. This was strange no matter how they looked at it.
In particular, there were some Buddhist Sect ancient martial art practitioners who came from small temples. They all secretly glared at Chu Xiu.
Of course, they only glared at him in secret. They did not dare to glare at him openly. They were not from the Great Light Temple, so they did not have the courage to provoke Chu Xiu.
At this moment, a person actually took the initiative to approach Chu Xiu and said in a doubtful tone, "Hey, isn't this Brother Chu? Why have you also come to welcome Master Tam Yuan? I heard that you have a good relationship with those monks. Wait, it's not just a rumor. It seems to be the truth. "
As this person approached, everyone present immediately began to discuss in low voices.
The person who had come to Chu Xiu's side was Swordking City's Fang Qi Shao. At this moment, he was carrying a long sword diagonally. His white clothes were still stained with some wine stains, and his hair was a little messy. It was as if he had just been woken up from his bed.
Chu Xiu also looked at Fang Qi Shao somewhat speechlessly. Why was it him again? Chu Xiu had a deep impression of this talkative sword leader.
However, Chu Xiu did not have any enmity towards Fang Qi Shao. Although his relationship with Swordking City was not very good, Fang Qi Shao was different. It was difficult for people to really feel enmity towards him.
Moreover, during the battle between the righteous and demonic factions on Floating Jade Mountain, Chu Xiu had used Fang Qi Shao's Karma Sword Principle to greatly improve his cultivation of the Heaven's Son Gazing At Air. Therefore, in theory, he still owed Fang Qi Shao half a favor.
Chu Xiu said faintly, "The Buddhist Sect is the Buddhist Sect, and Master Tam Yuan is Master Tam Yuan. I admire Master Tam Yuan's character, but what does it have to do with the Buddhist Sect? Buddha is Buddha, people are people. Some people chant sutras and worship Buddha all their lives, but they do not do many good deeds. Master Tam Yuan is Master Tam Yuan. It has nothing to do with whether he comes from the Buddhist Sect or not. "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, the Buddhist Sect warriors present glared at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu's words were simply pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. No, it should be said that the Buddhist Sect disciples were hypocrites.
However, these monks were not stupid. Although they were angry, no one jumped out to argue with Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu also did not care about them. He just looked at Fang Qi Shao in surprise and said, "What are you doing here? The Five Major Sword Sects are not the Buddhist Sect. Are you also here to welcome Master Tam Yuan because you admire him? "
Fang Qi Shao spread out his hands and made a helpless expression. He said, "Master Tam Yuan's character is indeed worthy of admiration. But this kind of thing should be kept in the heart. Why bother to meet him? I can't be bothered to fish for fame. "
As soon as Fang Qi Shao said this, most of the people present looked a little gloomy, because they had indeed come with such a thought.
However, Fang Qi Shao also directly ignored this group of people and continued to say, "I was having a good time in Eastern Qi's place. With my handsome appearance, the girls of Golden Wind Pavilion were very enthusiastic about me. In the end, before I had a good time, I was called up by the people of the sect. They insisted that I come to welcome Master Tam Yuan and make a wave of reputation. Although I know that I am handsome and irreplaceable, they did not inform me in advance about this kind of thing. This made me very passive. "
Speaking of this, Fang Qi Shao revealed a regretful expression. He shook his head and said, "When I left, the girls of Golden Wind Pavilion and the madam were still chasing after me. Eastern Qi is indeed the hinterland of the Central Plains. The girls here are hot and enthusiastic, much more enthusiastic than the girls in my Western Regions."
Hearing this, Chu Xiu faintly felt that something was wrong. He suddenly said, "Don't tell me you didn't pay them?"
Fang Qi Shao was stunned and said, "Pay what?"
Chu Xiu said in surprise, "Don't you pay when you visit a brothel?"
Seventh Young Master Fang said confidently, "When they pulled me in, they kept praising me. For a young master like me who is unparalleled in the world, it's already good enough that I didn't ask them for money. How could I give them money?"
At this time, Chu Xiu was really shocked. He didn't know how to describe this Fang Qi Shao. Was this guy pretending to be stupid or was he really stupid?
The third on the Longhu List, the future successor of Swordking City, and a genius swordsman, Fang Qi Shao actually visited a tyrant chicken. Who would believe such a thing?
