Upon hearing that someone was using his power to force his two senior brothers to accept disciples in an attempt to learn Feng Shui from them, Huang Keran was so angry that he almost slammed the table.

But he immediately remembered that it seemed that he was able to become his master's disciple only because of Hua Baisui's relationship.

His grandmother was a great power in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and no one dared to refuse her request. Wasn't he also using his power to coerce people into joining the sect? What position did he have to condemn those people with ulterior motives?

Huang Keran sat there awkwardly, twisting his body uncomfortably.

The heart that had been expecting him all along also became anxious. What would the two brothers think when they saw him?

Seeing his expression change, Bai Qiushan asked him what was wrong, and Huang Keran told him everything with a wry smile.

Bai Qiushan laughed loudly and said, "How can you be the same as those people? Don't worry, your two brothers will never vent their anger on you!"

Not to mention that Huang Keran was accepted as a disciple by Chen Xiao himself before this incident, it is only said that Huang Keran's apprenticeship and Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang were forced to accept disciples. The nature of the two events is completely different.

Chen Xiao agreed immediately at the beginning, perhaps out of consideration for Hua Baisui, as Dongyu Sect itself needed such connections. Another reason was that they were sincere in wanting to learn from the master, and in the future they would inherit the Dongyu Sect's legacy.

There is simply no comparison between the two, those evil people with wolfish ambitions who want to betray the sect before they even get in and take away the sect's inherited martial arts skills.

Huang Keran relaxed only after he figured it out.

He stood up, bowed to Bai Qiushan gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, for your advice, otherwise I would have been stuck in a dead end. Since the two brothers are not here, I will take my leave."

Bai Qiushan tried his best to keep him and wanted to treat him well, but Huang Keran politely declined because he wanted to finish the tasks assigned by his master as soon as possible. After finishing his master's tasks, he also wanted to go see his grandmother.

Seeing that he couldn't keep him, Bai Qiushan asked him to wait for a while and went out hurriedly to prepare some things for him.

Huang Keran refused, "Uncle Bai, what are you doing? How can I take your things?"

Bai Qiushan stuffed it into his hand and said, "You can't let Third Young Master Bai Cheng call you uncle. This is a greeting gift. Besides, there's no need to be polite. We are a family!"

All the things given to Huang Keran were paid for by Bai Qiushan out of his own pocket. He would never use the employer's property to please Huang Keran.

Huang Keran saw that he couldn't refuse, so he accepted it after thanking him.

He took out a storage bag and handed it to Bai Qiushan, saying, "This is the ferocious beast that my master and I hunted when we wandered into a strange heaven in the void. The conditions were poor and we didn't handle it well. Uncle Bai, don't despise it."

Bai Qiushan took it without hesitation and looked into the storage bag. His eyes lit up immediately. He asked, "Do you have any more of these things?"

Huang Keran took out two more storage bags and said, "They are all here. Uncle Bai can take them if he likes them."

Bai Qiushan took it happily and said to Huang Keran, "I will help you clean it up and guarantee to sell it for a good price. I don't have to sell everything. Pick out the good ones and keep them as a souvenir for you and your master." He had no intention of accepting Huang Keran's things from the beginning to the end.

Huang Keran smiled helplessly, said goodbye to him and walked towards the teleportation array.

Although Huang Ke Ran had never been to Taizhen, he knew how to get there.

During these decades, he had the most time to do nothing while on the road, so he and his master chatted a lot.

He had told his master almost nothing except for the embarrassing incident of wetting the bed when he was a few years old. He told his master everything he could remember as topics of conversation.

The master did the same, and told him everything that happened during his training and practice.

Including the people I met along the way, the places I visited, and where I lived.

Yingxian Island, Zuixian Winery District, Tangyan Street. Huang Keran found this street smoothly, and he didn't need to ask, the location of Dongyu Sect was particularly easy to find.

Because this family has the largest gate and a magnificent mountain gate.

Huang Keran took a deep breath and stepped onto the steps in front of the gate. He was immediately stopped by the guard at the gate: "This is the Dongyu Faction's garrison. No trespassing is allowed. Please state your name!"

Huang Keran stopped and thought for a moment, then he said, "I am Huang, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I am here to visit you for some business. I wonder if either Master Shen or Master Liu is here?"

He did not reveal his identity directly because he was afraid that the person in front of him would not believe him.

The guard had seen many young men coming to seek apprenticeship, and seeing that Huang Keran looked young, he thought he also wanted to become a disciple.

After knowing that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the guard's attitude changed slightly, and he said politely, "It turns out to be Master Huang. Unfortunately, both of you are not here. Please come back another day."

Huang Keran paused for a moment and said, "Then - is Manager Du Rong here?"

The guard said, "Manager Du is here. If you see him, please inform Master Huang."

Huang Keran said: "Then please let them know."

The guard looked to be in his 30s or 40s, and Huang Keran called him "younger brother", and he didn't think it was wrong. He was only a cultivator in the Body Refining Stage, while the other party was in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although he looked younger, Huang Keran was definitely older in actual age.

The guard asked the messenger on duty in the gatehouse to report to Du Rong, and he asked Huang Keran to wait in a small hall inside the gate.

Finally stepping into the gate, Huang Keran was very excited and looked around carefully. This was his master's sect.

The trees planted when the sect was first founded have all grown tall and luxuriant. At that time, Liu Lang arranged the courtyard in a garden-like style, with few walls in the entire courtyard, and only different plants were used to separate the inside and the outside.

Huang Keran could see the flying eaves in the distance through the lush trees. The passage of time has made the exquisite buildings here lose their luster, and has precipitated the weight of time.

Before he could fully appreciate the scenery in the courtyard, a servant in shorts invited him in.

Following the servant through a corridor, Huang Keran met the long-famous Du Rong in a room on the west side.

After the servant left, Huang Keran performed the etiquette of a younger generation meeting an elder and said, "Huang Keran greets Mr. Du."

Du Rong was startled and blinked rapidly, "You said you are Huang Keran?"

Huang Keran raised his head, pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, Mr. Du." His master called Du Rong Uncle Rong, so as a disciple, he was naturally a generation younger.

Du Rong was surprised and happy. He walked around the round table and looked him up and down.

Many people knew that Chen Xiao was missing, but not many knew that his third new disciple also disappeared with him. Only close friends and some high-ranking people in the Chongxuan Sect and Qiluo Pavilion knew about it.

Therefore, Du Rong would not suspect that someone was impersonating him.

Du Rong's eyes were red, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Is the Patriarch... okay?"

Huang Keran nodded vigorously, "Master is doing well. He is now in the Chongxuan Sect with Master's father-in-law."

Du Rong raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and sniffed, "That's great, that's really great... The master of the family is safe and sound..."

He muttered a few words to himself, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

Huang Keran couldn't help but feel emotional. His master said that Mr. Du was a loyal and righteous man. It turned out that he was not wrong about him, nor was he wrong about trusting him.

Du Rong calmed down, pulled Huang Keran to a chair nearby, and asked him about Chen Xiao's recent situation.

Huang Keran recounted their experiences outside in detail, without stopping until the moon was high in the sky and both of them were growling with hunger.

Du Rong kept apologizing for being rude and urged the kitchen to deliver the food.

During the dinner, Huang Keran asked, "What are you two doing, brothers?"

Speaking of this, Du Rong sighed.

It turned out that over the past few decades, several forces in Feiyan City had been constantly harassing them, and from time to time they would use various pretexts to send people into the Dongyu Sect, making it impossible for Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang to practice properly.

The two of them took turns guarding the house, one went out to find a Feng Shui site far away to practice Buddhism, and the other stayed in Yingxian Island to accept various commissions for Yangzhai.

This resulted in the two of them not making fast progress in their cultivation. Up to now, Shen Yanxing had only completed the foundation-building stage. Liu Lang, because of his high starting point, entered the golden elixir stage earlier than him.

For ordinary cultivators, this was already a very good achievement. But their cheating-like cultivation method and speed were considered slow.

"The eldest young master is traveling outside, and the second young master has been away for several days on a commission." Du Rong said.

Huang Keran frowned and said, "But I promised Master that I would inform them. Master is still waiting to see them."

Du Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Young Master. If they knew that the patriarch was alive, no matter where they were, they would rush to see him. I will write them a letter and post a bounty at Zhishi Hall. They will receive the news soon."

Huang Keran did not stay in Yingxian Island for long. After the mission was issued, he said goodbye to Du Rong and returned to Luochen first.

He wanted to take advantage of this gap to go to Qiluo Pavilion and pay a visit to Hua Baisui.

On the other side, in the Chongxuan Sect, Meng Si completed the task of treating Xi Yunting and also asked to leave.

Liu Shaoguang offered him a reward and personally escorted him out of the mountain gate. Standing at the foot of the mountain, Meng Si turned around and said to Liu Shaoguang, "I think you'd better pay more attention to Xi Yunting."

The smile on Liu Shaoguang's face immediately disappeared. His eyes were stern and he asked, "What do you mean by this, Senior?"

Meng Si solemnly told him what he thought was strange, "...Even if that was the true essence left by the evil cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, with my suppression and the dispersion of the medicinal power, it shouldn't have regenerated new strength so quickly in such a short period of time."

Liu Shaoguang narrowed his eyes, his gaze somewhat cold: "I don't quite understand what you said, Senior."

Meng Si cursed inwardly. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand, but that he simply didn’t want to think about it!

Meng Si didn't want to be the bad guy, so he only said half of the words, leaving the rest for Liu Shaoguang to figure out on his own.

He could have ignored this matter, but he really couldn't bear to see such a strong man go astray, so he reached out and gave him a hand if he could.

Furious, Meng Si stopped trying to hide the truth. He said, "The condition in Xi Yunting's body is probably caused by some abnormality under the influence of the evil cultivator's true essence. The abnormality is too subtle and I was unable to detect it. If we don't take more precautions, the evil cultivator's true essence will have a stronger influence on him. I'm afraid that your junior brother's true essence will be irreversibly contaminated, turning him into a true evil cultivator!"

Meng Si left, but Liu Shaoguang stood there with a cold body.

He stared in disbelief, as if waiting for someone to tell him that this was a bad joke and not true.

After a while, he took a few steps back weakly and sat down on the base of the mountain gate pillar.
