Chapter 1417, but it didn't stop it.
"Senior brother, you haven't been going down the mountain much lately?" Xie Zheng stroked the lid of his teacup, his every move exuding the majesty of a courtier.
Zhang Chengxuan looked up. "You haven't been down the mountain much. What's wrong?"
"You know what's going on down the mountain, but you haven't intervened. What are you waiting for?"
Zhang Chengxuan laughed, "What, is Lord Xie blaming me for standing by and doing nothing?"
Xie Zheng said helplessly, "What I wanted to say was that you were too lenient, senior brother. Some corrupt officials should be dealt with as soon as possible. The imperial envoy from the capital is still on his way and will arrive in a few days. You should seize the opportunity."
“Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. Don’t worry, we’ll go tomorrow.” Zhang Chengxuan sat down, looked at the white hair at his temples, and couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Song Chunxue.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were polite and distant, both dressed as men, and the atmosphere of the past was long gone.
"Did you come along because you were worried about her?" Zhang Chengxuan felt that if he didn't say this, his two junior brothers could keep up the act forever.
"Hmm." Xie Zheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. "If the fox demon from back then had connections in both the capital and this place, they would have recognized him sooner or later. We must be on guard."
"When did you recognize her?" Zhang Chengxuan asked curiously, "You two haven't even..."
"Master Zhang, I am now a powerful figure in the court, with countless matters to attend to. I have no energy left to dwell on the past. Let bygones be bygones." Fearing he might say something outrageous, Xie Zheng calmly interrupted him.
Zhang Chengxuan's gaze swept back and forth between Song Chunxue, unable to figure out what their current state was.
"Are you staying overnight? If you're not in a hurry, stay the night. I'd like to play chess with you. It's been a long time since anyone has played chess with me."
Xie Zheng asked Song Chunxue for her opinion, "It depends on what Master Akita thinks."
Song Chunxue laughed, "You go your way, I'll go mine. Why are you looking at me? I didn't plan to go with you anyway."
"..." Zhang Chengxuan stroked his chin with interest. It seemed that Song Chunxue was losing her composure, which was a good thing.
As before, she remained calm and composed, seemingly indifferent and uninterested, not even as humane as her master.
Although his cultivation level hadn't reached his master's level, his mental state had already reached that of a thousand-year-old demon, which Zhang Chengxuan found quite terrifying.
"Alright, you two can chat first. Is my room still available?" Tired of listening to their endless chatter, Song Chunxue stood up and said, "I want to go and look around."
"Now that you are a disciple of the main sect, you can no longer live in that room. The next room is full of female disciples. Why don't you live in the next room? No one else has ever lived there before. Lord Xie, please squeeze in with me."
Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow. "Alright."
"Something terrible has happened! Someone wants to take the triangular pyramid for themselves!" Wuyou suddenly shouted. "It's by the spring in the back mountain! Hurry!"
The three of them walked out at the same time.
Zhang Chengxuan asked curiously, "What kind of triangular pyramid?"
"The celestial weapon that Master Han gave me is a very strange thing." As soon as she finished speaking, Song Chunxue disappeared from the spot.
"Her strength is that terrifying?" Zhang Chengxuan, who had been steadily working his way up over the years without much progress, couldn't help but feel jealous when she disappeared!
“There’s something even more terrifying, you know. She’s naturally talented, and all these years she’s done is cultivate and farm, leaving us far behind.” Thinking of the triangular pyramid, Xie Zheng said in a deep voice, “I feel that the triangular pyramid has a secret, as if it was born to her.”
Others might not understand what he was saying, but Zhang Chengxuan did.
He was horrified. "You mean, there are still unsolved mysteries surrounding her?"
“You remember Mengzhongjun, right? He told my master that he saw scenes of the ancient war in her dream. Now, Huoxiang wants to hand over the entire Demon Sect to her. My master is unwilling to reveal her specific plans, but she hasn’t stopped her either.”
"Hiss~" Zhang Chengxuan pondered, "Let's follow them and see. I want to go to the capital with you."
