"Then we won't disturb you anymore. Granny, please do as you wish."
The sect master of the Five Immortals Sect, the old woman in the purple robe, did not resist at all. She really turned around and left.
Elder Fan Qingqing's expression was still natural and respectful. "Since Granny has ordered, we will naturally obey."
While speaking, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Jiang Wang. "Honorable guests, please take your time."
All the higher-ups of the Five Immortals Sect immediately retreated. Immediately, only Jiang Wang and Granny Bizhu were left in the tall main hall.
Jiang Wang had already expected to meet Granny Bizhu on this trip to the Near Sea Islands. After all, the matter of rescuing Zhu Biqiong could not be avoided by her master.
Even a large part of the reason he came to the Five Immortals Sect as a guest was because he heard that Granny Bizhu was behind the Five Immortals Sect.
However, he really did not expect to meet her so early.
What kind of person was Granny Bizhu?
From Zhu Biqiong's previous occasional descriptions, this old woman's character should be relatively strong. Zhu Biqiong was somewhat afraid of her, but she was very good to her disciple. As an elder with real power, her position in the Fishing Sea Tower was needless to say.
After Zhu Suyao was almost half crippled, Granny Bizhu still fought for the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Secret Realm for her. This proved that Granny Bizhu was really good to her disciple.
Moreover, Zhu Biqiong had previously returned to the island and reported how Zhu Suyao was framed. Although Hu Shaomeng was dead, he was quickly removed from the list.
Granny Bizhu's protection of her disciple could be seen from this.
And according to Jiang Wang's current first contact …
Granny Bizhu was undoubtedly a very powerful person!
As soon as she appeared, she firmly controlled the situation with just a few words.
On the one hand, she drove out all the higher-ups of the Five Immortals Sect in the main hall of the Five Immortals Sect, showing Jiang Wang her strong control over the Five Immortals Sect.
If Jiang Wang really represented someone in Qi and had some thoughts about the Five Immortals Sect, it would be unavoidable for her to reconsider.
On the other hand, she chose to personally contact Jiang Wang but excluded the higher-ups of the Five Immortals Sect. This completely did not give the Five Immortals Sect a chance to take advantage of her.
She could personally observe the purpose of Jiang Wang's visit to the Five Immortals Sect without being disturbed.
On the contrary, Fan Qingqing and the others, who were outside the hall and had no idea what they were talking about, were afraid of taking action. They didn't know what to say and what not to say.
Unless Jiang Wang or the power behind Jiang Wang already had a close and firm cooperation with the Five Immortals Sect. Apart from that, all the intentions that were only in the early stages of contact should be disintegrated.
Another thing that Jiang Wang noticed was that Granny Bizhu was casually shouting at the higher-ups of the Five Immortals Sect. This meant that she was no longer just the backer of the Five Immortals Sect. It was not just a matter of exchanging benefits. Instead, she had begun to control this sect and had begun to completely turn the Five Immortals Sect into her subordinates.
Perhaps this was the reason why Fan Qingqing's attitude towards Jue Ming Island was ambiguous.
One old and one young, both of them had their own observations and considerations.
Out of politeness, Jiang Wang greeted her first. "Granny, please take a seat."
"How can the host sit before the guest?" Granny Bizhu said meaningfully, "Please take a seat first."
She obviously regarded herself as the host.
Jiang Wang smiled and didn't explain to the old woman who was afraid that others would snatch her territory. He simply sat in his original position. Then he said, "Granny, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Granny Bizhu walked over slowly and sat on the main seat. After listening to the sound of the waves for a while, she suddenly sighed. "I'm old!"
Jiang Wang thought to himself, "Isn't this obvious? The wrinkles on your face are so deep that they can kill flies. "
But he wouldn't say it so rudely. At the same time, he was too lazy to flatter her.
Seeing that Jiang Wang didn't say anything, Granny Bizhu continued, "Seeing a young man like you in his prime inevitably reminds me of the past. But even then, there weren't many young people who could be like you. "
"I'm just young and impetuous. How can I bear such praise?" Jiang Wang asked, "Granny, do you know me?"
"How can I not know Jiang Wang from Qingyang Town? I know who you are as soon as I hear the name. " At this point, Granny Bizhu let out a long sigh. "After all, my disciple, Bi Qiong, often mentioned it to me."
She was the one who brought up the topic of Zhu Biqiong first.
But Jiang Wang didn't respond immediately. Instead, he said, "You were young, and I was old. Everyone in the world and everything in the world is the same. Tianjiao, talent, it's just a matter of a moment. "
He thought that Granny Bizhu only knew that someone from Qi City came to visit through her spies in the Five Immortals Sect. Or Fan Qingqing deliberately released the news.
Granny Bizhu's purpose of coming to Zhengsheng Hall should be to protect her "foundation" and not let outsiders have a chance to interfere with the Five Immortals Sect.
But now … why did she mention Zhu Biqiong?
Did she know his purpose of coming to the Coastal Islands?
Jiang Wang needed time to think and didn't want to show his attitude too early, so he pretended not to hear Zhu Biqiong's name.
Granny Bizhu sighed again. "There aren't many young people like you who can see things clearly. It's really rare! No wonder Biqiong always mentions you. "
The old woman always sighed, as if she was trapped in a heavy heart and couldn't extricate herself. She kept mentioning Zhu Biqiong.
Jiang Wang finally couldn't avoid it anymore. "Actually, I came to the Coastal Islands this time not only to carry out official business, but also to see Fellow Daoist Zhu. How … is she now? "
"How else can she be?" The old woman's tone was sad and low. "She's just waiting for death …"
She changed the topic. "Biqiong is really lucky to be able to make a friend like you in Qi City. You also helped with Hu Shaomeng's matter. Unfortunately … "
"Killing Hu Shaomeng was just to fulfill a promise." Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed. "Unfortunately?"
Granny Bizhu sighed again. "It's hard to violate the sect rules. Even though I have some status and became an elder over the years, I can't control such a big event as the sea sacrifice. I can only watch Qiong 'er … "
At this point, she was already choking with sobs. "Her cultivation was personally destroyed by me. I'm really … "
Her voice was mournful and her expression was mournful. Anyone who saw her would almost cry.
Especially in the Main Hall, it was very infectious.
Thinking of Zhu Biqiong's situation, Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel sad.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something. It was something he hadn't thought of before, something Chung Geng Sheng had overlooked because he didn't know Zhu Biqiong well enough — Hai Zongming, as an elder with real power in Fishing Sea Pavilion, should've kept his movements a secret. How did Zhu Biqiong, with her intelligence, know about this?
Of course, Zhu Biqiong wasn't a fool, but she definitely wasn't that intelligent. In the past, she had been protected too well by her sister, Zhu Suyao, so she was simple and ignorant of the world.
How did such a simple girl know about Hai Zongming's movements? And how did she hide it from the powerful Granny Bizhu?
He and Chung Geng Sheng both knew that Zhu Biqiong's cultivation was destroyed and she was sent to the sea sacrifice because she violated the sect rules and indirectly caused the death of the sect's elder, Hai Zongming.
Their focus had always been on how to pry open Fishing Sea Pavilion's sect rules, how to affect the sea sacrifice, and how to save Zhu Biqiong. However, they had neglected the original reason for this matter — why Zhu Biqiong was able to pass on information about Hai Zongming to him!
