It was noon.
Celestial Master stood in the room and looked at Tian Jinzhong, who was on the bed and had finally calmed down after a few days. After carefully observing him for a while, he turned around and walked out of the room.
"Little Qing, you must keep an eye on your Second Grand Master. Don't let anything happen to this old guy. Otherwise … you won't be able to explain to your Little Grand Master in the future."
"Yes! I will definitely keep an eye on Second Grand Master! " Little Qing immediately nodded when he heard this. But looking at the old man on the mountain who was known as the 'Number One in the World', he couldn't help but ask hesitantly.
"Grand Preceptor, Little Grand Preceptor Jiang, he … could it be that he has really become an immortal?"
Hearing this,
Celestial Master looked at the little Daoist boy in disbelief, shook his head, and said with a sigh, "Your Second Grand Master has already become like this. Can't it explain this matter …?"
Little Qing glanced at Tian Jinzhong who was resting on the bed in the room. This time, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy because the old man was sleeping. What he felt in his heart was … a sense of loss because his Little Grand Master had suddenly left.
When he was on Mount Longhu, apart from his fellow disciples, the little Daoist boy had the most contact with his Little Grand Master, Liu Xiaojiang. Because of Liu Xiaojiang's gentle personality, he had always had a good impression of this powerful Little Grand Master.
After all, not only did this little advisor not put on any airs, he would also personally guide him when he had nothing to do in his free time. Whenever he got something good to eat, he would also share it with him, causing the other Daoist children to look at him with envy.
After the Luo Tian Grand Ritual ended,
Almost everyone on Mount Longhu knew that Grand Master Xiao Jiang's departure was only temporary. He had to leave because he had something more important to do. So, sooner or later, he would return to the mountain.
Little Qing originally thought that he would have a chance to see this gentle Little Grand Master again in the future and have the opportunity to ask him to guide his cultivation. Unexpectedly, he received an unbelievable piece of bad news.
The Little Grand Master had already gone to heaven …
Celestial Master noticed the grief in Little Qing's eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and pat the little guy's shoulder.
"This matter hasn't been completely determined yet. Perhaps there will be a turn for the better in the future. After all, the child's situation is somewhat special. It's too early to feel sad about his departure." Marlene said. She was a little worried.
"It's just a piece of news. Before I see that child, nothing is certain …"
Having said that, Celestial Master ignored the puzzled look on the little boy's face and strode out of the courtyard, leaving behind an old but still tall and straight back view …
…
"Master!"
Celestial Master had just walked out of Tian Jinzhong's courtyard when he saw his ninth disciple hastily running over from afar. He stopped and looked at the other party with a calm expression.
"Is it another call from the company's leaders?"
"That's not it …" Rong Shan ran over to steady himself. He was also a little disappointed, but he still explained.
"Zhang Chulan is here. He said he wants to come and see you …"
"At this juncture …" Celestial Master pondered for a moment, then said, "What is this little bastard doing here? I don't want to see him … "
"He also asked me to pass a message to you. He said that this time, he didn't come here for the Celestial Master Degree. He just has some questions about cultivation, and … about Xiao Jiang. He wants to discuss it with you face to face," Rong Shan continued.
"…" Celestial Master suddenly fell into silence.
Then, the old man looked back at Junior Apprentice Brother Tian Jinzhong's courtyard and said, "Then bring him to see me. By the way … I only saw Zhang Chulan. The other one will definitely come back with him. I don't want to see him."
"Okay!" Rong Shan was just about to say that his Junior Apprentice Brother Zhang Lingyu had also come back when his master made the decision in advance. However, he also understood that he could not change his master's decision, so he could only nod and trot back to pass on the message.
…
Mount Longhu.
In front of the cliff at the back of the mountain.
Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu's expressions were relatively heavy. While patiently waiting for Rong Shan to pass on the message, they could not help but talk about the bad news of Liu Xiaojiang again.
"If it wasn't for the news of Brother Liu's death, I think if I wanted to see Grand Master alone … I would definitely be rejected." Zhang Chulan was wearing a black suit, which was a rare sight. He looked like a clerk in a company.
"I wonder how Uncle Tian is doing …" Zhang Lingyu was also wearing a black suit. He was not wearing the uniform of a general manager. He was still worried about Tian's condition after knowing about Liu Xiaojiang's death.
Zhang Chulan naturally knew Tian's character. He also understood the importance of Liu Xiaojiang in the old man's heart. So he said, "Grand Master Tian must be very sad about Brother Liu's death. He might even want to commit suicide …"
"However, with Grand Master and all of you on the mountain, I think even if it is difficult for Grand Master Tian to get over his grief, it would be very difficult for a cultivator to commit suicide … to succeed."
Speaking of this, Tian recalled all of Tian's experiences in the past. He could not help but sigh and shake his head.
"The test that God has set for Private Advisor Tian is too painful …"
"Did Xiao Jiang … really leave?" Zhang Lingyu obviously still found it hard to accept. He could not think of what kind of enemy could make a powerful cultivator like Liu Xiaojiang die in a foreign land.
After all, in his opinion, even if Liu Xiaojiang was not the strongest person in the world, there should be very few people who could stop him if he wanted to escape …
Hearing this,
Zhang Chulan recalled the inside story he had learned from Xu Si. He could not help but frown slowly and said,
"Although this matter is indeed unbelievable, according to the company's message, this time Brother Liu … probably won't be able to survive."
"I don't believe that a person like Brother Liu would take the initiative to put himself in danger. So, either he was too careless, or … there is at least a situation where the information is not equal. Considering Brother Liu's personality, the latter is obviously more likely than the former."
"Big Brother Liu might have been killed by someone who looked like one of us …" Lin Sanjiu shook her head and said, "Brother Liu might have been killed by someone who looked like one of us …"
"Are you going to tell your guess to Celestial Master and the others? If such a situation really exists, if the person who killed Xiao Jiang is …" Zhang Lingyu had obviously heard a lot of rumors in the company recently, so he already had a guess in his heart.
"I don't think we should let people from Tenshi Province get involved …"
"I understand …" Zhang Chulan looked at Rong Shan who was running in the distance. Then, he nodded at Zhang Lingyu and said,
"I've already thought about what to do next …"
