"Why do you look so scared at me? Can I eat you?"
Ximen Xuanyu looked at him with amusement. Hall Master Zhao seemed to recall something terrible and stammered:
"Ximen Xuanyu, you are a rare black tortoise bone. Back then, the sect leader tried every way to get you to stay, but you refused. You took some benefits and left without a care in the world. Now you come back again, do you still have any shame?"
The Black Tortoise Bone not only stunned the crowd, but Cang Lin and the others were also surprised. Normally, no one would tell that Ximen was an old man who possessed the bones of a beast. He always seemed to have a hunched back and an old look. Unexpectedly, he was such a bombshell as soon as he appeared. He actually possessed the bones of a legendary beast?
At this time, Cang Lin was a little impressed by Master Zhao. As a master, he knew all kinds of animal bones and understood them very thoroughly.
Then I thought, Mei Ling had been here for a while and was able to engrave a book about rare magical beasts, so it’s not surprising that the hall master here knew about it.
Ximen approached Hall Master Zhao with a smile on his face, his hands tucked into his sleeves, as if recalling something interesting.
"Master Zhao, isn't this all thanks to you? Although I didn't know what you were up to at the time, I still can't forget the foolish look on your face when you were chased and hacked by the mantis!"
Hall Master Zhao took two steps back in panic.
"Take your hands out. There are so many people here, and your little baby won't recognize anyone."
"Are you talking about my mechanical mantis?"
Hall Master Zhao knew that he couldn't continue talking. If he continued, who knew what he might say.
"If you don't want to join, then leave quickly, otherwise the leader will bother you again if he finds out."
"You really think about me. Although I won't join, I want to stay."
"What are you staying for?"
"Stay here with your grandson!"
Hall Master Zhao's face suddenly turned green, but he didn't dare to get angry.
"Ximen Xuanyu, our ages are about the same, isn't it inappropriate for you to be so roundabout and insulting?"
"Did I curse anyone? No! If I did, I would curse those profit-seeking, bullying, and questionable sect parasites. How could I curse my grandson?"
"You...you keep calling me grandson, and you're just insulting me. You're still trying to make excuses. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have some skills now."
Ximen Xuanyu felt refreshed when he saw Hall Master Zhao shaking with anger.
"Grandson!"
He couldn't stand it anymore, he really couldn't stand it anymore. Master Zhao had reached the limit of patience and was determined to teach this stinky old man a lesson. Just as he finished thinking about it, he heard three voices from the side at the same time.
"grandfather"
"Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"What happened, Grandpa?"
Cang Lin, Yuan Jun and Ying Mi all ran towards Ximen Xuanyu.
Ximen Xuanyu patted his grandchildren's shoulders happily, his mouth facing his grandchildren and his eyes looking at Master Zhao with pride.
"Hey! It's okay. Since you choose to stay, then grandpa will accompany you for a while."
Hall Master Zhao was surprised.
“They are your grandchildren.”
"That's right, nephew, you are also my beloved grandson. You are all outstanding people. You can't let the villains get away with it. It's a cruel place here. Grandpa is afraid that you will be in danger."
"You" Master Zhao dared to be angry but not to speak, for fear that the cooked duck would fly away, and also afraid that Ximen Xuanyu would say something he shouldn't say.
"Master Zhao, all my grandchildren are staying here. You can't let an old man like me live on the streets, right?"
The crowd was in an uproar again.
"It turns out that he is a real grandson, but someone recognized him as a grandson."
"This grandson is not that grandson"
"We are all grandsons, why pretend to be grandsons?"
Grandson, grandson, this almost made Master Zhao collapse, it's worth a wave of the hand.
"Let's go together. I'll arrange a room for you."
Several people were taken to another small courtyard, which had a main house and an ear room. Ximen Xuanyu and Kong Qing lived in the main house, Yuan Jun and Cang Lin lived in the left ear room, and Yingmi was assigned to another courtyard full of women, but it was not far away.
“Are you satisfied with the accommodation?”
Hall Master Zhao had a smile on his face, waiting for comments from Cang Lin and others.
"It's OK, Master Zhao is thoughtful, but when can we pay our respects to the Sect Master?"
Just as Hall Master Zhao was about to say something, he saw a figure flash outside and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"I will report to the Sect Master first. If I am summoned, I will inform you immediately."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left this place that made him feel uncomfortable.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, a young man bowed respectfully to Master Zhao.
"Master, please remind the Sect Master to find the monster for me before it's too late. I can't stand it any longer."
Hall Master Zhao glanced lazily and said, "Okay, remember to take good care of yourself. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another chance next time. Opportunities are always in your own hands."
"Master Zhao is right," the young man continued to compliment.
"What are you doing here?" Hall Master Zhao asked curiously.
"There are some new fellow disciples here, I want to visit them."
After hearing this, Hall Master Zhao sneered.
"Since we've been classmates for many years, I advise you to avoid interacting with these people. They will become stumbling blocks on your path forward."
"Thank you for the advice, Master."
As soon as Hall Master Zhao left, the young man walked into the courtyard. The young man was tall and fat, but his steps seemed unsteady.
Cang Lin had noticed him. When he was in the crowd, he was standing at the back, but he was very conspicuous because his back was bleeding. Although it was wrapped in a bandage, it could not hide the fact that he was injured.
At this moment, he was standing in the yard, his face pale and haggard, his hands rubbing constantly, looking very embarrassed.
