Chapter 564: Only One Immortal
"Sir, Lord Wei just sent a message saying that the ancestor and Sect Master Yu will be here tomorrow."
At noon, when Wei Changtian was fishing by a small river, Zhang San hurried over from not far away and whispered the latest news.
The ancestor he was referring to was Wei Zhaohai, and Sect Leader Yu was a second-rank master named Yu Qi.
The sect that Yu Qi belongs to is called Zhenyi Sect. It has always had a good relationship with the Wei family and has helped a lot in Xuanjing Division's handling of the affairs of the sects in the martial arts world. In return, the Wei family has also given them many conveniences, both openly and secretly.
In fact, there are many sects of this size that the Wei family has won over, but the Zhenyi Sect is one of the ones with the closest relationship.
However, Yu Qi was only at the third level before and had just broken through to the second level a few months ago.
Now that the leader has broken through to the second rank, Zhenyi Sect's status in the martial arts world has naturally risen. Even if they can't unify the martial arts world, at least they can become a "regional overlord" in the green forest with the help of the Wei family.
But this Yu Qi is an exception.
He is obviously an old man, and now he has a status in the martial arts world. It is enough for him to be the leader of the sect.
But he was a bit like Song Jiang in his previous life. He always felt that it was not enough to hang around in the green forest all his life. Only by putting on the purple official uniform could he truly bring honor to his family.
It is for this reason that the Zhenyi Sect has always been very close to the Wei Family.
Now that Ning Wenjun has ascended the throne and the Wei family has taken control of the government, Yu Qi has broken through to the second rank. Feeling that the time has come, Yu Qi is finally ready to "show his ambitions", so he went straight to the capital a few days ago to find Wei Xianzhi to "ask for an official position".
Faced with the surrender of a second-rank master, Wei Xianzhi was naturally happy to "help him achieve his goal" and with a wave of his hand, he appointed him to fill the vacancy of the Minister of Justice.
However, before Yu Qi had time to visit the Ministry of Justice after taking office, he was immediately sent to Huailing.
As for why he and Wei Zhaohai came, they were of course here to "show their support".
“Heh~”
"Okay, I understand."
Yawning, Wei Changtian nodded, and raised his hand to take back the fishing rod.
He had been sitting by the river for the whole morning, but the fish basket was still empty. It can only be said that his fishing skills were really poor.
"Hehe, sir, you're not going to fish anymore?"
Yang Liushi, who came with Zhang San, couldn't help but smile and said, "How come I didn't see any fish?"
"Well, I doubt there are any fish in this river."
Wei Changtian replied perfunctorily, somewhat awkwardly, and promptly changed the subject, "Why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to call you to eat."
Yang Liushi bent down and picked up the empty fish basket. Her long skirt loosened and tightened, outlining a perfect line. "Lunch has been prepared at the military camp. If you don't want to fish, you can go back."
"There's no point fishing if there's no fish. Let's go."
After handing the fishing rod to Zhang San, the three of them walked towards the Tengu army camp not far away.
As of today, the Tengu Army has been stationed by the river for four days, but there is still no movement from Ning Yongnian's side.
Probably waiting for Xu Suisui too. Looking at the smoke in front of him, Wei Changtian pondered the current situation as he walked.
At this moment, a rider suddenly appeared in the distance and rushed towards the three people.
"My lord!"
"Senior Qin is here! He is in the military camp right now!!"
One stick of incense later, the Tengu Army arrived at their tent.
When Wei Changtian saw Qin Zhengqiu again after four days, his expression was quite complicated.
This was before he knew that the former had once wanted to kill him.
If Wei Changtian knew that Qin Zhengqiu had wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't even be able to call him "Grandpa" now.
"Grandpa, was it Xu Suisui who asked you to come?"
Looking at the old man opposite him who still looked the same but had a completely different temperament, Wei Changtian got straight to the point and asked, "After meeting me, are you going to look for Ning Yongnian again?"
“.”
There was no talk of reminiscing about the past, no questions asked about the Tiao Yue Sword, not even a single polite word.
Wei Changtian's straightforwardness made Qin Zhengqiu stunned for a moment, and his tone was a little bitter.
"Changtian, have you guessed it all?"
"I have guessed some things, but there are still many things I can't figure out."
Wei Changtian looked directly into Qin Zhengqiu's eyes and said slowly, "Grandpa, I know there are some things you won't tell me even if I ask you, so I won't ask you."
"But there is one thing that has troubled me for a long time. I wonder if Grandpa can help his grandson solve this puzzle."
“.”
"You ask."
Qin Zhengqiu's answer was obviously a beat slower, probably because he was thinking about what Wei Changtian would ask.
How did he practice the Moon-lifting Sword to perfection? What realm was he at now? Why did he obey Xu Suisui?
Am I still myself now?
Countless speculations flashed through his mind at once, but in the end Qin Zhengqiu heard a question he had never expected.
"Grandpa, when I wanted to give you the real dragon forehead scale, why did you refuse to take it?"
“.”
In Fengyuan, in order to get an invincible "gold medal fighter" and to prevent Qin Zhengqiu from taking the "wrong path" of using the Tiaoyue Sword to break through to the first level, Wei Changtian decided to give the real dragon forehead scales to the former.
However, Qin Zhengqiu refused at that time and did not give any reason.
Wei Changtian thought at the time that Qin Zhengqiu couldn't bear to "take away" his opportunity, or he didn't have a deep obsession with the first rank, so he didn't want it.
But who would have thought that the latter would leave without saying goodbye and go to practice the Tiao Yue Sword.
It seems that Qin Zhengqiu really wants to break through to the first level, otherwise he would not risk "losing himself" to do so.
But if that's the case, why didn't he use the method of True Dragon Forehead Scale, which is simple and has no side effects? Is it really just because of the so-called family affection?
Wei Changtian never figured out the reason, but he knew that this was most likely the fundamental motive for all of Qin Zhengqiu's subsequent actions.
That's why he asked this question after the two met again.
As for the answer "."
There was silence in the main tent. Qin Zhengqiu hesitated several times, but ultimately did not say a word.
"Grandpa, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
Wei Changtian knew that he was unwilling to talk, so he did not ask any more questions. He just shook his head and changed the subject to the main business.
"Xu Suisui asked you to come here today, probably to promote the relationship between me and Ning Yongnian, right?"
"yes"
Qin Zhengqiu nodded gently: "Miss Xu wants you to talk to Ning Yongnian, and she will go there too."
"when?"
"Then the Emperor will come."
"Where?"
"There is a Lingbo Pavilion ten miles north of Huailing City."
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Changtian nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Grandpa, is there anything else?"
"there is none left."
Qin Zhengqiu stood up silently: "Changtian, will you go?"
"go."
Wei Changtian stood up without hesitation and said, "Grandpa, why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving."
"Forget it, I still have to go look for Ning Yongnian."
Shaking his head, Qin Zhengqiu seemed to be intentionally avoiding Wei Changtian's sight. After answering, he turned around and was about to leave.
But just as he reached the curtain, his hand that was lifting it suddenly paused.
Without looking back, Qin Zhengqiu just turned his back to Wei Changtian, and suddenly asked in the latter's puzzled eyes: "Changtian."
"You said before that you met an immortal in your dream. The immortal said that the destiny of this small world can only allow one person to become an immortal, so he wants you to compete with Xiao Feng."
"Is this true or false?"
