After looking at the two guards behind Cui Ziwen, the man in green was also shocked. Although their cultivation was not as pure and profound as Cui Ziwen's, their cultivation was still very high. It was not an exaggeration to call them top masters.
"It has been more than ten years since we parted that year. I didn't expect that the outstanding disciple of Master Lu Ji has now established his own sect and become the leader of the number one sect in the Central Plains. Thinking back, it really makes me sigh with emotion." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said, "I heard about Master Lu's matter. It's simply nonsense. Master Cui and your master Master Lu are like father and son. How could he be the murderer? If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. "
After hearing this, Cui Ziwen curved the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly. "Why are you still talking about the past? Today is your son's good day. Let's not talk about those annoying things. What do you say, Mr. Matsumoto?" After saying this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Matsumoto Takeyoshi with a smile.
As soon as Cui Ziwen said this, Matsumoto Takeyoshi and Zhou Quan, who was smiling at the side, were shocked. Besides the three people involved, only the Green and White Messengers behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi knew that Zhou Dao was the only son of Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Other than that, no one else knew. Matsumoto Takeyoshi and the others did not expect that Cui Ziwen would expose the secret. This made them very shocked.
It seemed that the power of Cuiming Hall could not be underestimated. Matsumoto Takeyoshi wanted to be angry, but he could only swallow his anger. He was not stupid. Offending Cui Ziwen would not benefit him at all.
"Hahaha …" Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed out loud. "Nothing escapes Master Cui's eyes. I've embarrassed myself in front of Master Cui."
Cui Ziwen smiled. "Not at all, not at all. Mr. Matsumoto, you've put a lot of thought into this, and I'm very impressed. I just made a slip of the tongue, so please don't take offense, Mr. Matsumoto."
"Master Cui is too polite. Let's talk inside," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right. The two of you are of noble status. Please come to my humble abode and we can talk in detail inside," Zhou Quan hurriedly said from the side.
"Mr. Matsumoto, please." Cui Ziwen extended his hand.
"Master Cui, please." Matsumoto Takeyoshi also extended his hand.
The two smiled at each other and walked side by side. Behind them, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's Green and White Envoys and Cui Ziwen's two bodyguards followed closely behind.
Zhou Quan was cautious and directly led them to another secluded room. After ordering the servants to serve tea, Zhou Quan waved his hand and the servants in the room immediately left.
"Succubus, Wanggui," Cui Ziwen said to the two people behind him, "You can leave first and wait for me outside. I have something to say to Mr. Matsumoto. "
After the two heard this, they bowed to Cui Ziwen and immediately left. They stood to the left and right of the door.
Succubus? Wanggui? Matsumoto Takeyoshi and the Green and White Envoys behind him suddenly realized that these two people were none other than two of the four protectors of Cuiming Hall.
"You can leave first." Matsumoto Takeyoshi saw Cui Ziwen withdraw his bodyguards and turned to the Green and White Envoys behind him and said.
The man in green hesitated and did not move. Instead, the man in white turned around and walked out the door.
"Mr. Matsumoto, this …" The man in green said.
"Haha," Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed, "With Master Cui here, what are you worried about?"
"Yes." The man in green replied and walked out the door. He then turned around and closed the door, standing together with the man in white. He didn't understand. With his and the white-robed man's cultivation, not to mention outside the door, even if they were at the door, they could still hear the conversation in the room clearly. It was the same for the two Protectors, one red and one white. There was no need for Cui Ziwen to do this. Could it be that he wanted to kill Matsumoto Takeyoshi? Was that why he sent them away? Impossible. Cui Ziwen was the leader of a sect. With his status, there was no way he would do such a thing. The man in green was confused, but since Matsumoto Takeyoshi had given the order, he could only obey.
"Master Cui, if you have something to say, feel free to say it." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said.
Cui Ziwen smiled slightly. He extended his right hand's jade-like little finger and dipped it directly into the teacup in front of him. Then, he lightly flicked it into the air. Suddenly, a huge, translucent amber bubble appeared in the air, slowly enveloping him and Matsumoto Takeyoshi. The bubble trembled, and the air was immediately filled with the faint aroma of tea.
"Master Cui, this is …" Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked at the bubble beside him and calmly asked.
"Some words are not suitable for outsiders to hear, so I used a little trick. Mr. Matsumoto, please don't be offended." Cui Ziwen smiled.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi finally understood the purpose of the bubble. It was to prevent others from eavesdropping.
A mere drop of tea could cause such a change in his hands. This Cui Ziwen's cultivation was probably far above Lu Ji's!
"Jianghu rumors say that Master Cui's cultivation has reached the realm of Perfection. Today, I see that the rumors are true." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said.
"Mr. Matsumoto, you must be joking." Cui Ziwen changed the topic. "That day, two of Mr. Matsumoto's subordinates came to me with the Anle Gold Coin, hoping that I could help them obtain the Ye Family's weaponsmithing manual. I saw that they were Mr. Matsumoto's subordinates, so I sent Chi Yao to help. However, I heard that in the end, they did not succeed. Is that true?"
"Haha." Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and took a sip of tea. "Master Cui has eyes everywhere. I'm sure that Master Cui already knows about this matter. Why bother asking?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Matsumoto to be interested in the Ye Family's weaponsmithing manual." Cui Ziwen smiled.
"I've been interested in magical weapons since I was a child." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said bluntly. "I heard that the Ye Family's weaponsmithing is famous all over the world, so I've always been interested in it. My subordinates are really ignorant. They actually tried to steal it behind my back and even alerted Master Cui. I'm really ashamed! "Matsumoto Takeyoshi casually avoided Cui Ziwen's question.
"Oh? So Mr. Matsumoto didn't know about this beforehand? "Cui Ziwen smiled and picked up his tea.
"Why? Is Master Cui interested in this matter?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked Cui Ziwen with a smile.
"Mr. Matsumoto is overthinking." Cui Ziwen put down the teacup and smiled. "I just want to ask if you know the whereabouts of Chi Yao."
"Chi Yao?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi frowned. "I only heard that he was defeated by Ye Kong and then disappeared. Why? Didn't he return to Cuiming Hall?"
Cui Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not sure," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said. "He's your subordinate, Master Cui. Even Master Cui doesn't know where he is, let alone an ordinary person like me."
Cui Ziwen smiled and picked up his tea again. He scraped the tea with the lid. "Mr. Matsumoto, you're too polite. You're not an ordinary person."
"Oh?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled. "What do you mean?"
"Mr. Matsumoto, there are many experts around you, and each of them has a high level of cultivation. If you were an ordinary person, how could you be so heavily guarded? That's one of the reasons, "Cui Ziwen said calmly.
"What's the other reason?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and picked up his tea as well.
"Mr. Matsumoto's only son is an important official in the imperial court at such a young age. He has a prominent position and has great power. As the saying goes, a tiger father doesn't have a dog son. Just this one spot is enough to see the whole picture." Cui Ziwen smiled. "Mr. Matsumoto, you're being too modest by saying that you're an ordinary person."
"Master Cui sure knows a lot." Matsumoto Takeyoshi put down the teacup with a smile. "Master Cui, do you have any advice for me?" In other words, what do you want to do?
"I have a piece of advice for you, Mr. Matsumoto." Cui Ziwen put away his smile and said calmly.
"Master Cui, please speak." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said.
"In the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, things will move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme." Cui Ziwen calmly said these words.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and didn't say anything. He continued to drink his tea.
Cui Ziwen waved his sleeve and the amber bubble burst with a pop and turned into a faint mist. He stood up and walked slowly to the door with his hands behind his back.
"Master Cui." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said.
Cui Ziwen stopped but didn't turn around.
"I hope we won't be enemies in the future." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said without looking up as he drank his tea.
Cui Ziwen smiled and didn't answer. He continued to walk to the door.
"Creak …" The wooden door opened automatically and Cui Ziwen stepped out.
Succubus and Wanggui saw Cui Ziwen and immediately bowed to greet him. "Headmaster."
