Lan Xiaobu knew that it was his turn to speak so he sighed, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have brought Bian Yufeng away. I heard that Bian Yufeng had a peak grade wood type immortal vein so I brought this fella away to interrogate him. In the end, not only did I not get anything out of him, this fella even ran away. "
The entire world knew that Bian Yufeng might have a peak grade wood type immortal vein so if he tried to hide it, he would be burying his head in the sand. He might as well admit it. There was nothing wrong with it.
"Haha, you don't have to worry. So what if Bian Yufeng ran away …" Teng Mo chuckled. Clearly, he didn't care about Lan Xiaobu's thoughts. If Lan Xiaobu didn't bring Bian Yufeng away for the peak grade wood type immortal vein, he would have found it weird.
Lan Xiaobu felt that things weren't as simple as Teng Mo said so he asked, "What about the Shen Clan?"
Teng Mo sighed and said, "That Shen Clan is very mysterious. Even though they aren't from my Rising Star Immortal Court, we can't underestimate them. They are one of the most mysterious clans in Mo Xuan Immortal Domain and it's rumoured that they have an Immortal Emperor. However, their Immortal Emperor never shows himself. Previously, when they came, I told them that you were in closed door cultivation and sent them away. I'm afraid that this matter wouldn't end here and they would still come and question you … "
Just as Teng Mo said this, an immortal outside said, "Great Immortal Minister, Shen Qianshan from the Lunar Mirror Immortal Court is here to visit."
Teng Mo looked at Lan Xiaobu helplessly and said, "Look, he's here."
Lan Xiaobu nodded and Teng Mo immediately said, "Dao Friend Shen, please come in for a chat."
Following Teng Mo's voice, a skinny man with a white face and no beard walked in.
The moment Lan Xiaobu saw this person, he knew that this person was at least in the late Immortal King Stage. He interacted with Immortal Kings the most and he always had a few Immortal Kings by his side. Thus, he could tell this person's cultivation level with a single glance.
"Shen Qianshan greets Great Immortal Minister. Please forgive me for coming here so abruptly," Shen Qianshan clasped his fists and said in an extremely polite tone.
Lan Xiaobu knew that Teng Mo had purposely lowered the status of the Priest. If the Priest's status was low, he wouldn't have the qualifications to come to the fourth level of the Forbidden Immortal Department to visit the Great Immortal Priest.
Teng Mo chuckled, "Dao Friend, please take a seat. Come, come, come, have a cup of my Rising Star Immortal Court's Radish Star Tea."
After saying that, he poured a cup of immortal tea for Qianshan.
After Guan Qianshan thanked him, he cupped his fists towards Lan Xiaobu and said, "This must be the rising star of the Forbidden Immortal Department, Lan Xiaobu."
Lan Xiaobu laughed, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I haven't been in the Forbidden Immortal Department for long, but I've improved quite a bit. I'm now a Junior Immortal Department. After the Vine Immortal Priest leaves, I have a great chance of becoming a Great Immortal Priest. I was like a fish in water in this place. I could truly display my light and heat. Fellow Daoist Guan, you are a friend of the Great Immortal Priest. If you need anything from me, Lan Xiaobu, in the future, just say the word. I, Lan Xiaobu, have some means. "
How was there any hint of flattery in his tone?
Guan Qianshan was slightly startled. Lan Xiaobu hadn't been in the Forbidden Immortal Department for long. As for his personality, he didn't ask about it, and he couldn't ask about it. This was because Lan Xiaobu only interacted with people for a short period of time.
He didn't expect Lan Xiaobu to have such a personality. This personality couldn't be said to be arrogant, but no superior would like it. The Great Immortal Department hasn't even left, but you're already coveting the position of Great Immortal Priest. Moreover, you have some means. That's not what you said, but what others said.
Teng Mo chuckled and said, "Xiao Bu does have the ability. If I leave in the future, this Great Immortal Department will indeed belong to Xiao Bu."
That was the truth.
Guan Qianshan immediately felt that Lan Xiaobu's personality was more suitable for his investigations. He clasped his fists and said, "My Guan Clan's Guan Feng An was ambushed by the road robber Bian Yufeng, Fuji Jiuting, Xuan Mu and Wang Yi. He died outside Heaven Yun Immortal City. I heard that the road robber Bian Yufeng was captured by the Forbidden Immortal Department, so I specially came to take him away. Of course, if we offend you, my Guan Clan will definitely compensate the Forbidden Immortal Department. "
Lan Xiaobu thought: No matter how strong your Guan Clan is, you're still just an immortal race. The Forbidden Immortal Department was the highest authority in the Ascension Star Immortal Court. Oh, you think you can take someone away just because you want to? Who do you think you are?
Following which, Lan Xiaobu thought about Teng Mo's words. This fella could have used the Ascension Star Immortal Court's name to reject Guan Qianshan. However, this fella didn't do that. Instead, he used Guan Qianshan to pressure him.
"Dao Friend Guan Qianshan is right. These road robbers commit all sorts of crimes and kill the innocent. My Forbidden Immortal Department was able to capture Bian Yufeng. It can be considered as doing a good deed for the cultivators of the Ascension Star Immortal Court, "Lan Xiaobu said firmly.
Guan Qianshan frowned slightly. He could only take the initiative to say, "I heard that Bian Yufeng was taken away by Lan Xiaobu. I wonder where he is?"
Lan Xiaobu sighed, "Ai, speaking of this, I feel that I have let down the Ascension Star Immortal Court and the Forbidden Immortal Department. I did have some selfish motives for taking Bian Yufeng away. However, I still wanted to use Bian Yufeng to lure out Fu Xun, Jiuting, Xuan Mu and co. Unfortunately, I was too careless. I wasn't as cunning as the road robbers … "
Hearing Lan Xiaobu say this, Guan Qianshan felt that something was amiss. Sure enough, Lan Xiaobu continued, "I thought that I was smart enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become a small immortal officer so quickly, right? What I didn't expect was that Bian Yufeng was even more cunning. He actually sneaked an attack on me and escaped when I wasn't paying attention. This can only be blamed on my selfishness. If I didn't want to obtain Bian Yufeng's top grade wood attribute immortal spirit vein, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been plotted against, and Bian Yufeng wouldn't have been trapped. "
Guan Qianshan frowned slightly and said, "That peak-grade wood attribute immortal vein belongs to my Guan Clan. This time, we were looking for those four road robbers. Firstly, it was to take revenge for my Guan Clan. Secondly, it was to take back that peak-grade wood attribute immortal vein."
Lan Xiaobu had a face of astonishment, "So that's the case. What a pity. If I had obtained that peak-grade wood attribute immortal vein, I would have been able to report back to Dao Friend Guan Qianshan. I could even use this opportunity to become friends with Dao Friend Guan Qianshan. Ai … "
His straightforward personality was undoubtedly revealed in his words.
"I wonder where did Guan Qianshan let Bian Yufeng escape? What else did he say? "Guan Qianshan asked again.
Lan Xiaobu revealed a speechless expression as he looked at Guan Qianshan. Then, he said, "These things are not within the scope of my ability to answer. These are all recorded in the Forbidden Immortal Department's archives. Without the Great Immortal Officer's permission, I wouldn't dare to casually speak of these things."
Teng Mo coughed. He roughly knew that Lan Xiaobu was somewhat dissatisfied. He hurriedly said, "Dao Friend Guan, these things are indeed recorded in my Forbidden Immortal Department's archives. It's not convenient for me to reveal them."
Guan Qianshan said faintly, "So you're saying that the road robber Bian Yufeng was taken out of the Forbidden Immortal Department and escaped without permission?"
Lan Xiaobu sneered. This way, things would be much easier. Your Guan Clan is so impressive. You should have spoken like this long ago.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu's sneer, Teng Mo started to feel displeased with Guan Qianshan. He snorted coldly and said, "My Rising Star Immortal Court's handling of cases is not up to others to criticize. The Guan Clan also has no control over my Rising Star Immortal Court's Forbidden Immortal Department. Men, send the guest out. "
Guan Qianshan stood up and glanced at Lan Xiaobu before saying, "My Guan Clan will ask about this matter to the Rising Star Immortal Court. I hope that you can answer me properly when the time comes."
Previously, when Guan Qianshan was speaking nicely, Lan Xiaobu was still in the mood to conceal it. Now that Guan Qianshan was vaguely threatening him, he did not hesitate to stand up, "Your Guan Clan is nothing. Your Grandpa Bu is the Little Immortal Officer of the Forbidden Immortal Department. If I don't answer you, what can you do? That Bian Yufeng, your Grandpa Bu likes to let go. Bite me then. I'm being polite with you. You really think you're some big shot. Scram back to where you came from. "
His words were strange. Lan Xiaobu was already displeased. At the very most, he could just leave. If this place doesn't want this Grandpa Bu, there would be another place for him.
"Very good." After Guan Qianshan left these two words, he turned and left. He did not feel that cursing Lan Xiaobu was harsh on the ears. The moment they met, Lan Xiaobu gave him a feeling that he had no EQ and did not know how to leave any leeway. However, a Little Immortal Officer of the Forbidden Immortal Department wanted to make things difficult for his Guan Clan.
"Haha, Brother Xiao Bu, well said." After Guan Qianshan left, Teng Mo laughed and said loudly.
Lan Xiaobu sighed, "Great Immortal Officer, these words should have been said by you. However, it was me who said it. Ai, I'm worried that I would be chased after. I don't even have any backing. If I get chased after, I would be dead for sure. "
Hearing Lan Xiaobu call him Great Immortal Officer and not Brother Teng, how could Teng Mo not know that Lan Xiaobu was unhappy? He hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao Bu, there's no need to worry. No matter how strong the Guan Clan is, they wouldn't dare to chase after a Little Immortal Officer of my Ascension Star Immortal Court. Even if they complain to the Immortal Court King, I will speak up for you. "
However, he laughed bitterly in his heart. No matter where he went, within the Ascension Star Immortal Court, you, Lan Xiaobu, are not in the right. You just took away the prisoners in the Forbidden Immortal Department and didn't even bring them back. How do you expect me to speak up for you?
Lan Xiaobu immediately became happy, "Then many thanks Brother Teng. Brother Teng, I have made ample preparations for this pill competition. The only thing I'm lacking is the flame."
Teng Mo waved his hand, "Brother Xiao Bu, there's no need to worry. I will think of a way to get the flame. Under normal circumstances, the Earth Fire is used for the pill competition. Under special circumstances, I can get a Tier 5 Immortal Barbarian Flame. "
Lan Xiaobu knew what special circumstances Teng Mo was talking about. It was when he, Lan Xiaobu, fought his way out of the encirclement and qualified for the finals. Only then would a Tier 5 Immortal Barbarian Flame appear for him.
"Then when are we leaving the Forbidden Immortal Department and heading towards Mo Xuan Immortal Domain?" Lan Xiaobu asked.
Teng Mo said, "We will leave now. However, we won't be going alone. Instead, all the participating pill refiners of the Ascension Star Immortal Court will be going together. We have the least number of people. There are only four of us. Some pill sects send tens of people, and some even send more than a hundred people. Not only that, the Ascension Star Immortal Court's Immortal Court King will also be going personally. "
Even the Immortal Court King would be going. From the looks of it, the Ascension Star Immortal Court placed a lot of importance on this pill competition. Lan Xiaobu knew who the four of them were. Other than him and Teng Mo, there were definitely the two Immortal King guards, Jie Chuan and Xu Ning.
