Shenyin seemed to feel that Lu Hongyi was not angry, and seemed to be a little bolder: "Yes, the leader sent back and asked Chen An to take charge of the Fengshen Sect and preside over the overall situation. Chen An is very self-aware and knows that he cannot handle it, so he directly brought in the Great Elder Yuan Xiu to take charge of the overall situation!"
"He even gave the Sect Leader's orders to Yuan Xiu, demonstrating his absolute trust. The effect is obvious. Yuan Xiu is ashamed of his past and has a new respect for Chen An! In times of crisis, although he was very scared, he personally went out to support everyone, boosting morale and remaining calm in the face of danger. He can be said to be both brave and resourceful!"
Hearing this, Lu Hongyi smiled and said, "Oh? So you also think this kid is worth cultivating?"
Shen Yin's face turned serious and he clasped his fists: "But Chen An is insidious and cunning, he doesn't have the demeanor of a strong man, and his methods are despicable!"
"Go on!" Lu Hongyi calmly picked up a white jade porcelain bowl and took a sip of tea.
Shen Yin said seriously, "He received the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Wings bestowed upon him by the Sect Leader, but he dared not confront Cheng Jianghe head-on. He lacks the magnanimity of a powerful person. Moreover, his righteous words about protecting the Sect Leader are clearly an attempt to curry favor with the Sect Leader. His intentions are not pure!"
Lu Hongyi countered with a question, "His motives for trying to curry favor with me are indeed impure, but you said his sneak attack was despicable. Although I also think it's inappropriate, it's also his most cautious and smart move. If he attacks and charges forward after gaining the power, I would think he's stupid!"
Shenyin raised his head slightly, seeming a little confused.
Lu Hongyi's lips curled up into a smile. "The reason you don't understand is because you've been the best since you were a child. Whenever you meet an opponent, you just fight them with strength, without giving it too much thought. But Chen An is different."
Having said that, Lu Hongyi looked out the window at the distant sky, her eyes drifting away, lost in memories.
Although Lu Hongyi didn't say anything, Shenyin still pricked up his ears and listened, standing in front of her respectfully.
Soon, Lu Hongyi slowly said, "I once had a senior brother. He was my master's worst disciple, and his aptitude was not much better than Chen An's. He practiced for a full 120 years before reaching the peak of Xuanyou. But my senior brother often completed the various training tasks assigned by the master better than any of us. He encountered dangerous training and never even got hurt. I once asked my senior brother why I couldn't do it."
At this point, Lu Hongyi looked at Shenyin and said, "Guess what my senior brother said to me?"
Shenyin shook his head, but was also a little curious.
Lu Hongyi smiled sweetly: "My senior brother told me that you are too proud. Proud people will be conceited, and conceited people will often suffer great losses!"
Shenyin was stunned, vaguely understanding something, but not sure.
Lu Hongyi looked at Shenyin, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Senior Brother is telling me that I should never be proud, and I should never underestimate my enemies, even if I already possess the supreme power I claim to possess!"
"I understand!"
"You don't understand. The reason Chen An chose to paralyze the enemy and launch a surprise attack is because he is unsure of his opponent. He will be cautious and careful, taking every step carefully, and trying every possible way to increase his chances of defeating the opponent. If he doesn't attack, it's fine. But once he does, it's fatal! Never underestimate your opponent!"
At this moment, Shenyin finally understood, his expression serious and even solemn: "I understand!"
This time, Shenyin's voice was more powerful than the last time.
Lu Hongyi looked at Shenyin calmly: "These words are also for you to hear, go down!"
"Yes, Master!"
Early the next morning!
A lot of people gathered in Fengshen Square. Although the Tongtian Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, the atmosphere in Fengshen Square today seemed a bit solemn.
Jiang Yan brought Chen An to the square. Chen An asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
"The Sect Master wants to enforce the law and execute the rebels. He has summoned the three hall masters and the four pavilion masters."
Jiang Yan was very respectful to Chen An, especially after the battle yesterday. Chen An was famous in Fengshen Sect and killed Cheng Jianghe with two punches. Such cultivation and fighting power made Jiang Yan feel ashamed from yesterday to today.
I didn't expect this Lord to be such a true person who never reveals his true identity. I still remember the day when Chen An and the Sect Leader got married, and how excited Chen An was after taking two Yuanling Pills...
Jiang Yan was even more impressed by Chen An. This Lord... was too pretentious!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's cultivation is unparalleled. I deserve to die for my poor judgment!"
Chen An sighed: "I have always wanted to keep a low profile, but unfortunately, I encountered a rebel. How could I sit idly by when danger was at hand? I couldn't hide it either, so I had to reveal my cards. Alas..."
Although he relied on Lu Hongyi's power, Chen Anke did not feel embarrassed at all. After all, it was Lu Hongyi who asked him to pretend to be a master!
Jiang Yan immediately nodded and bowed, flattering him: "Your Majesty is a man of high character and integrity. I admire you deeply!"
When they arrived at the scene, this time, many people saluted Chen An with fists clasped. Those who knew him and those who didn't knew him all showed a little more respect to him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Chen An clasped his fists in return: "No need for courtesy!"
Chen An discovered that these people were divided into seven camps, with only one chair in the front. These seven people were the only ones in the entire square who had seats, which naturally made them stand out.
However, among these seven people, only one fat man stood up and bowed to Chen An. The others closed their eyes and seemed not to see Chen An.
Chen An looked at these seven people one by one, but he didn't recognize any of them. At least none of them appeared when the rebels attacked yesterday.
Jiang Yan and Xing'er followed behind Chen An. Jiang Yan guided Chen An onto the stone platform. There were two chairs here. The one in the middle was naturally Lu Hongyi's, and the smaller one on the side was prepared for him, the Lord.
Chen An sat down, and Jiang Yan introduced him to Xiaosheng.
It turned out that the seven people sitting below were the three hall masters and four pavilion masters of the Fengshen Sect.
The four pavilion masters are the ones in charge of the four pavilions in the Temple of the Gods.
Chen An looked over one by one. The three hall masters were sitting on the left, and the four pavilion masters were sitting on the right. The fat man who had just bowed to Chen An was Liu Tong, the hall master of Youze Hall.
Just as Chen An was looking at Liu Tong, an elder in a green robe beside Liu Tong nodded slightly and walked towards Chen An.
The man walked up to Chen An and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I, the Lord of Youze Palace, have prepared some wine tonight. I hope you will do me the honor of attending the banquet. Thank you for your presence."
Chen An instinctively felt that the Fengshen Temple was safer, especially the Youze Temple, Qingfeng Temple, and Muhua Temple. Most of the rebels yesterday were from these three temples. If there were still some remnants, wouldn’t it be dangerous!
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Chen An does not think he is a gentleman, it is still better to be cautious.
"You're welcome. I have something to do, so I won't go!"
The green-robed elder smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Palace Master actually has something to discuss with Your Majesty. It's about the Blood Spirit Sect."
Chen An was stunned and frowned: "What's the matter with the Blood Spirit Sect?"
"Your Majesty, the Palace Master feels that the Blood Spirit Sect's leader has offended Your Majesty and should be executed. The Palace Master has already found out Lu Zhengnan's whereabouts."
Chen An's eyes lit up!
