He was silent, did not speak, only staring.
Reverend DaoXuan was behind him, could not see the old man's eyes but he could see, the scorching oil dripping from the candle, drop by drop, landed on that withered palm, and then slowly solidified.
That palm, also seemed to be trembling slightly.
Deep in the shadows, far away, a faint sigh seemed to be heard …
When Lin JingYu reached TongTian Peak Crystal Hall, there were already more than ten people standing there. Among these people, some were familiar to him, some were so unfamiliar that he had only seen them a few times, only knew that they were from the same sect.
But without exception, everyone present knew, the young people standing there right now, were all Qing Yun Sect's young generation's outstanding talents.
And among the crowd, the most outstanding were only two, one was naturally the cold and elegant Anan, the other was now dressed in a leader's attire, with an extraordinary bearing, QiHao. Speaking of which, the other branches' leaders had not come, QiHao was also the only one of the six leaders present.
QiHao turned and saw Lin JingYu walking in, was stunned for a moment and then laughed and walked up, hugged Lin JingYu, assessed him from head to toe, smiled and said, "Lin junior brother, aren't you guarding the coffin in Founders Ancestral Hall, why are you here?"
In these ten years, Lin JingYu had always used the excuse of guarding the coffin to stay in Founders Ancestral Hall, and that mysterious old man, was related to Qing Yun Sect's past secrets, so everyone did not know, right now he naturally would not say anything, only smiled and said, "Ten years is up, I also came out, someone just happened to inform me to come here, didn't expect Qi senior brother to also be here."
QiHao smiled and said, "Sect Head Teacher Uncle informed the outstanding disciples from each branch to come here, said there is something important to discuss, I happened to have nothing to do, so came over to take a look."
While they were talking, a man walked over from the side, tall and big, it was Big Bamboo Valley head disciple Xavion. Ten years had passed, his appearance did not change much.
Back then, Xavion was considered familiar with QiHao and the rest, right now he walked over to exchange greetings, a moment later his eyes landed on Lin JingYu, smiled and said, "Lin junior brother not seen for a few years, you are even more handsome and tall, your skills must have improved a lot?"
Lin JingYu slightly lowered his head, smiled and said, "Xavion senior brother you flatter me."
Lin JingYu slightly lowered his head, smiled and said, "Ah, Qi senior brother, do you still recognize junior brother?"
QiHao looked at the person who spoke, smiled and said, "Ceng junior brother, I can forget anyone but I dare not forget you!"
The person who came was Return of Wind Valley young generation's most outstanding disciple Issa Shu, and beside him, two beauties from Small Bamboo Valley, Wen Min and Lu.
Most of the people looked at Anan who was as cold as ice, only Xavion looked at WenMin, laughed, WenMin with a smile, gave him an annoyed look.
Kevern and the rest also met with Baenmin and Anan, Issa ShuShu said: "Qi Shixiong, when you took over the position of the leader, I made a mistake and was imprisoned by my father, so I could not be there to congratulate you, please forgive me!"
Kevern laughed and said: "What are you saying, junior brother Ceng. As long as the thought is there, it is enough."
Zeng Shushu smiled and nodded. He looked around and said, "Senior Brother Qi, why did Uncle-Master Uncle Master call us here?"
Kevern shook his hand and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that something happened in the West. Sect Master Shibo wants to send out the outstanding disciples of the younger generation to gain experience."
"Ah." The surrounding people made noises, many were curious and excited. Issa Shushu was originally full of smiles, but suddenly his expression froze, as if he thought of something. Kevern noticed and asked in surprise: "Shidi Zeng, what's wrong?"
Zeng Shushu smiled bitterly and said, "The outstanding disciples of the younger generation leave the mountain to gain experience?" He shook his head and sighed, "Why does this sound so familiar to me?"
He and Kevern looked at each other and suddenly understood each other's thoughts. The four of them in the past, now …
They turned around at the same time and looked at that beautiful girl. Anan stood there quietly, as if she did not hear anything, but also as if she had buried everything deep in her heart. That pair of bright eyes turned and glanced at Baye, as if trying to see his shadow, but in the end, still moved away.
At this moment, suddenly in the main hall, the bell rang. Everyone immediately stood solemnly. After a while, Sect Master Doyal Shen, accompanied by Xiao YiCai, walked out. He looked at the crowd, smiled and greeted, then sat down at the main seat.
Everyone saluted, Kevern stood at the front. Master Doyal Shen smiled and waved his hand, said: "Never mind, never mind, all of you sit."
But among the disciples, other than Kevern, whose status was different now, sat down at the right of Master Doyal Shen, the rest were still standing.
Master Doyal Shen looked at Xiao YiCai and said: "YiCai, you speak."
Xiao YiCai nodded and said: "Yes, teacher."
Saying that, he walked out, looked around at the crowd, said in a clear voice, "Fellow sect members, today I have invited everyone here, is because there is a matter that requires our Qing Yun sect's most outstanding disciple to go and complete."
When he said till here, the crowd immediately stirred. Xiao YiCai smiled and continued: "Recently, there are many rumours in the world, said that in the Western Great Marsh, there was a strange light that shot up to the sky, and did not stop for a few days. I'm afraid that a world-shocking treasure is about to be born. Originally, the treasure that fell from the sky, only the virtuous can have it, we were not interested. But after this news spread, we heard that the Evil Sect evildoers were marching in the West, intending to get their hands on it. "
"What?"
"Damn it!" The Qing Yun sect's young disciples were immediately enraged, one after another shouted out.
Xiao YiCai waited for the crowd to quiet down, smiled and said: "If this news is fake, then it's fine, but if there really is a rare treasure, falling into the hands of the Evil Sect, won't we be helping the evildoers? Qing Yun sect has always been the world's Good Faction leader, therefore Sect Head Reverend has decided, to select the most outstanding disciples from our sect's younger generation, to go together to the Western Great Marsh, uphold the Righteous Way, slay the evil. "
Speaking till here, he paused for a while, suddenly with a mysterious tone, said: "Fellow junior brothers, there is another important matter, heard that today TianYin Temple and FenXiang Valley have also sent their disciples to the Western Great Marsh. Ever since that big battle ten years ago, everyone is also clear, these two sects are on good terms with us on the surface but secretly they have been eyeing the Good Faction leader position for a long time. I hope everyone will not lose our sect's face! "
There was an uproar in the crowd, immediately someone shouted out: "Sect Head Reverend don't worry, we will definitely not lose Qing Yun sect's face!"
"Exactly, this time we must let the Evil Sect and TianYin Temple FenXiang Valley see our prowess!"
Reverend DaoXuan smiled and nodded, stood up and said: "This time going to the West, there may be dangers, the Evil Sect people are even more treacherous and cunning, all of you will have to worry."
The crowd replied in unison: "Yes."
Reverend DaoXuan said to Xiao YiCai: "Then you make the arrangements, leave early."
After speaking, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Baye who was standing in the crowd, then turned and walked towards the inner hall. The crowd respectfully sent him off, waiting until his figure disappeared, Xiao YiCai then turned back to divide the people.
On the other side, Baye said to QiHao: "Why, Qi senior brother, this time you are not going?"
QiHao laughed in spite of himself: "Lin junior brother, now I can't leave."
Baye came to his senses, his face blushed and said: "Ah, senior brother you are already our branch head, I did not expect that."
QiHao patted his shoulder, smiled and said: "This is your first time travelling the world, it is a great opportunity, I am looking forward to you showing your prowess, make a name for yourself!"
QiHao laughed: "Senior brother you are joking."
QiHao laughed, but then his face turned gloomy, seeing there was no one around, he quietly said to Baye: "Lin junior brother, to tell you the truth, ten years ago teacher... Taoist Cang Song betrayed Qing Yun, the result made our Long Shou Valley unable to raise our heads, especially Rising Sun Valley, Sunset Valley disciples, when they see us, they treat us like enemies. Senior brother, as a head, it is also very hard, so I really hope that this time you will go out, to help our Long Shou Valley to fight for our pride! "
QiHao was silent, after a moment nodded slightly, quietly said: "Qi senior brother, I know, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
QiHao smiled, his face also relaxed a little, stretched out his hand and patted QiHao's shoulder.
Just at this moment, Xavion walked over, glanced at the two of them, smiled: "Why, this time Long Shou Valley is Lin junior brother going out?"
QiHao smiled: "Yes, I wonder who is going from Big Bamboo Valley?"
Xavion laughed: "Originally it was me, this good-for-nothing big senior brother going, then my teacher's wife thought I was stupid, so she let my sixth junior brother Amandla junior brother go."
QiHao smiled: "Amandla junior brother has always been clever, with him our Qing Yun sect is like a tiger with wings."
Xavion naturally was not as eloquent as QiHao, after a few words, he was about to leave, suddenly turned back and said to QiHao: "Oh right, Qi senior brother, my teacher's wife recently missed my Ling Er junior sister, after you go back, ask her to go back to Big Bamboo Valley, stay for a few days."
QiHao smiled: "Xavion senior brother, you still don't know, this morning, before I left Long Shou Valley to come here, Ling Er had already returned to Big Bamboo Valley, said she missed her mother. It seems that Mother-in-law and her are truly mother and daughter who share a mutual affinity. "
Xavion was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, his hearty voice reverberated in this Crystal Hall.
