Chapter 158 A Moment of Emergency

| Exclusive from Banxia Novel |

*

The headmaster looked really panicked. Chongming and Xiaoqingzhou could not see his expression from their angles. The atmosphere was deathly silent.

But the people facing him clearly sensed the signal for help coming from him.

Wudu was less than ten feet away from Wang Linhua. Seeing this, his eyes lit up. In excitement, he exerted force on his hand, and the silver bracelet deformed again.

Wang Linhua, who had been paying attention to him intentionally or unintentionally: "…………"

It was obvious that the headmaster did not care about his disciples, but his method was wrong.

Not only was it wrong, he even chose the worst method.

How can you threaten someone if you want to keep him as a disciple?

Wu Du moved his feet, probably because he thought that he had been caught in the middle and had not helped the relationship between the master and the sect. He retracted his feet and turned to look at Wang Linhua and others.

Wang Linhua: "..."

Wu Du probably really had no other choice, otherwise he would never agree to his idea today, but at this time he showed a clear look of help, which made people speechless.

Lu Xiaofeng was too reliable. As soon as Bu Zao asked for help, he was thinking about how to keep Xiao Qingzhou. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yu Luocha cleverly seized this opportunity, after all, Bu Zao asked for help, if he could help keep Xiao Qingzhou, Bu Zao would have to think of this favor when he wanted to make fun of him in the future, so he thought for a moment, raised his eyes and smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Master Xiao? I haven't said a word to you today. Before you leave, should we talk about the Evil Valley?"

Xiao Qingzhou glanced at him: "Why didn't you mention it earlier or later, but now? Did you just remember that you are the leader today?"

"..."

Yu Luocha was angry.

"Master Xiao, we are evenly matched. You have abandoned your Evil Valley for a year, and the Luosha Cult has to take the trouble to discipline your subordinates. Tell me, should we have a talk?"

Xiao Qingzhou was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "Then you can go back with me, and we can talk on the way.

" Yu Luosha said: "I won't leave."

Xiao Qingzhou said: "But I want to leave."

The head of the sect said: "You are not allowed to leave."

Xiao Qingzhou showed his pulse to the head of the sect, and said coldly: "If you must destroy my kung fu, then destroy it."

The head of the sect did not move, but his eyes were cast on the few people standing not far away again, and his eyes were full of "save me, help me".

Several people were silent.

It's what they deserve.

The three of them were pulling each other like a triangle, and the situation became more stalemate than before. Lu Xiaofeng finally figured out a solution and said, "Master Xiao, what Master Bu said was just an angry word. After all, you are a master and disciple, and he definitely doesn't want you to leave."

Bu Zao said, "I didn't say anything angry."

Lu Xiaofeng: "... You don't have to say anything."

He tried his best to make the situation less ugly and tried to arrange the steps, but Bu Zao overturned the steps with one word.

But Bu Zao's eyes didn't seem to be lying. He stubbornly looked at Lu Xiaofeng for a moment and turned his face away. Lu Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Bu Zao

really thought so? Wu Du whispered, "The headmaster is serious." Wang Lianhua said, "Why didn't he destroy Chongming's martial arts when Chongming betrayed his master?" Sikong Zhaixing nodded in agreement, otherwise there would be no owner of Wanwu Tower at that time... After all, with Chongming's way of offending people, how could he develop connections and build Wanwu Tower without strong martial arts? Wu Du said sadly, "I'm not sure about this... When the eldest senior brother and the headmaster quarreled, the headmaster said nothing and just left..." In other words, the headmaster's threats this time were different from the last time Chongming went down the mountain. He was serious. Sikong Zhaixing seemed to be thinking about something. Wang Lianhua looked at Chongming, who had said nothing from beginning to end, standing in the corner and watching indifferently. Even though the headmaster's performance this time was completely different from his last time, he didn't seem to react much, and was still quiet, abnormally quiet. Xiao Qingzhou sneered: "Now you are pretending to be a good master." The headmaster said: "Was I not good before?" Xiao Qingzhou seemed to choke and said coldly: "You are very good, you have always been very good." Wangcai stopped rolling around when he noticed the strange atmosphere, squatted between the two, tilted his head to watch them talk, and made a few hesitant sobs. The head of the sect glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, then glanced at the faces of the others. It was unknown what he was thinking of, but his serious expression disappeared in an instant, and he said to Xiao Qingzhou, "If you plan to leave, you will have to waste your martial arts. Without these martial arts, you can't become the leader of the Evil Valley, and you will be betrayed by others until nothing is left." Yu Luosha had just made eye contact with him, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he heard this. He had a hunch that Bu Zao would not say anything good. Bu Zao said slowly, "You said you wanted to go west with the leader, but I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the stone tablet of the Evil Valley, and you will be robbed by the leader and end up with nothing." Yu Luocha:...What nonsense are you talking about! The leader said, "Only in the Salted Fish Sect can you be the leader of the Evil Valley..." Xiao Qingzhou's expression became strange. After all, no matter how you think about it, this is a temptation after coercion. From Xiao Qingzhou's face, everyone saw astonishment and disbelief. What bystanders can notice, Xiao Qingzhou, as a person standing opposite Wudu and as the object of coercion and temptation, he can obviously perceive Bu Zao's attitude more clearly. Xiao Qingzhou was silent. Lu Xiaofeng said something nice: "Master Xiao, it's almost sunset now. If you go down the mountain now, it will be midnight when you arrive in town. Why don't you stay and have a good talk with Bu Zao?" Yue Yang also said quietly: "I'm afraid everyone needs to bathe and change clothes today, so firewood may not be enough. You split so many woods this time, you can just take them back to use as firewood." Bu Zao was very surprised. Yue Yang's angle was so strange that even he didn't expect it. He was so meticulous... He could use it better for him. Wu Du also said: "Xiao Zhou... and Senior Brother, let's talk after bathing. Don't be so anxious."

Hearing what he said, everyone looked at him and realized that Wudu, who had a serious cleanliness problem, was covered in dust and gravel, but he endured it and did not leave immediately to change and wash, but stayed here.

As a disciple, junior brother, and senior brother, Wudu was very responsible and worked very hard.

In the process of getting along with the four masters and apprentices of the Salted Fish Sect, one thing was very impressive - whether it was the weird leader, the moody eldest disciple, or the kind-looking but cold-hearted third disciple, they were all very accommodating to Wudu.

For example, when Wanwulou provided Wudu with information, Xiaoqingzhou would go with him to find the leader at Wudu's request. Once Wudu was unhappy, Xiaoqingzhou and Chongming would calm down a little after Wudu's persuasion, no matter how fiercely they quarreled.

The two were quite willful, but they were very accommodating to Wudu, and the leader... he didn't seem to be a strict person.

Before getting along with the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, people didn't have a good impression of him. Take Wudu as an example. Since Wudu appeared, he "took money to do things", "respected the leader", "obeyed the leader's orders and looked forward to respecting him", which inevitably made people think that this Salted Fish Sect leader was evil, weird, and arbitrary.

This was especially true for Leng Xue and Yi Dian Hong, who had known Wu Du for a while when they were young. When they first came to the Salted Fish Sect and met the Sect Master for the first time, they had a very bad impression of him.

Bu Zao was too mysterious, as if he was close at hand, yet also as if he was far away. It was not that he could not talk to him properly, but he was always vague about things related to the Salted Fish Sect and refused to take it frankly.

Leng Xue looked at Wu Du and did not understand why their master-student relationship was so complicated.

He said, "It's useless to hold on. Let's go back first."

As if he was moved by his words, Chongming suddenly stepped forward and strode past the headmaster and Xiao Qingzhou. He said in a cold tone, "If you treat your guests like this, the Salted Fish Sect will never be a big deal."

Wangcai jumped up, hugged Chongming's legs and barked loudly. The man and the dog walked towards the yard.

Xiao Qingzhou looked at his back with an unpredictable expression. Wudu

stretched out his hand halfway, then silently withdrew his hand, his expression even more depressed.

Wang Lianhua was shocked in his heart.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Master Xiao, think about it carefully. Everyone wants to become a disciple of the Salted Fish Sect in the future. Do you really want to give up this identity?"

Yu Luocha glanced at Sikong Zhaixing. Was he directly pointing out that what happened today would be exposed? That's

right. Although the people present had some connection with the Salted Fish Sect, they had no interests. Rather than covering up for them, it's better to say that there was no need to cover up. If you don't have such a powerful power, it's obviously better to tell it out.

Sikong Zhaixing didn't expect that his few short sentences could make Master Yu understand so much. He really just connected Xiao Qingzhou's words during the day to give a friendly reminder... Well, although there was also the factor of wanting to help Bu Zao.

When Bu Zao showed a look of seeking help, he didn't look like the rather self-centered leader at all. Although he was himself, Sikong Zhaixing couldn't help but think of the young man who was arm in arm with him and said he was an "old buddy".

If Sikong Zhaixing could see the true heart of the leader Bu hidden under the mask, he would be very happy to be an assistant.

Xiao Qingzhou suddenly laughed: "It's really interesting, have you all been bribed by him?"

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Some things are more confusing to the parties involved than to the bystanders. Wu Du is right, you two should really have a good chat."

Xiao Qingzhou glanced at him.

The more Yu Tianbao looked at Wu Du, the more he felt sorry for him. He was caught in the middle and could only talk about helping. So he mustered up his courage and said, "Yes! Master Xiao, you see that Master Zhongming has no intention of leaving after he came back. Maybe you will miss this place after you leave. Why not have a good talk with Master Bu? You don't have to revisit the old place like Master Zhongming did!"

She spoke the truth with her little mouth.

Yu Luosha pressed her left hand on her right hand to suppress the urge to give Yu Tianbao a big brain.

When she thought of such a simpleton wandering around under the name of her own son, Yu Luosha couldn't help but sigh at her image as the leader of the Luosha Sect.

Although in fact he has no image left in this salted fish sect.

Wang Lianhua looked at Yu Tianbao, then at Yu Luocha, with the word "your son" written all over his eyes, and grinned.

Yu Luocha: "..."

"Never mind." Xiao Qingzhou turned around and left with an ambiguous smile, "I want to see what we can talk about."

Wu Du immediately followed him, and then turned to look at the headmaster, signaling the headmaster to catch up as soon as possible.

Yu Tianbao quickly took his guards and followed Wu Du. Yue Yang had seen enough and left.

The rest of the people who were secretly observing in the forest also left at some point, and the place soon became empty, leaving only Lu Xiaofeng and others standing there.

The headmaster stood alone among the rocks, expressionless.

Lu Xiaofeng said cautiously: "Bu Zao..."

"Do you really believe it?" Bu Zao looked at them, with a smile on his face. He actually looked a little happy, not as anxious as before.

"...Yeah," Lu Xiaofeng blinked.

"Xiao Zhou did that just to keep Chong Ming." Bu Zao explained to them, "He thinks I don't know, but I can see it. As long as he conflicts with me, no matter what Chong Ming wants to do, he can't get past him." "

Chong Ming cares a lot about his fellow apprentices. He won't be happy if Xiao Zhou leaves the Salted Fish Sect." Bu Zao sighed.

"You mean... Master Xiao doesn't really want to leave the Salted Fish Sect," Sikong Zhaixing asked.

"Yes."

"You knew it from the beginning, or--" Leng Xue couldn't help asking.

"He found out when he said he wanted to go back to the Valley of Evil with the Lord."

"Too late!" Wang Lianhua complained.

"Can you please stop using 'Lord Lord' to mock me?" Yu Luocha said.

So no matter whether it was coercion or temptation, Bu Zao's words were sincere. He was really panicked about Xiao Qingzhou's departure.

"It was a moment of urgency... If it happened in the past, it would have been immediately obvious." Sect Leader Bu smiled slightly, "Xiaozhou has always had a lot of ideas." He didn't wear a mask this time, and the relief and gentleness of a sect leader were very obvious. No matter how you look at it, he is a good sect leader and a good master.

Wang Lianhua's mouth twitched: "Why don't you say this in front of them?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Bu Zao raised his hand to put on the mask on his face.

"Take it off for me!" Wang Linhua was angry, "Are you going to wear the mask when we talk later?"

"Ah." Bu Zao didn't put it on, put down his hand, and sighed, "You don't understand..."

"How can we understand if you don't tell us." Wang Linhua said unhappily, "You can tell us later." Bu Zao

invited them to go down the mountain, and on the way he wanted to put on the mask again, but Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng, who had been staring at him, stopped him one after another. One of them put his hand to cover his face, and the other held his wrist tightly, as if they were going to fight him to the death if he wore a mask.

"You still look better without the mask, otherwise I just want to beat you, although I can't beat you, but I have such a heart."

Bu Zao:... I don't know whether to be happy or sad, obviously both of them are me.

After hearing this, the head of the sect silently put away the mask.

The mask was like a switch. Without the mask, Bu Zao seemed much more talkative. He answered every question, but some of his answers were still not to the point.

When they returned to the yard, some of the people whose heads and faces were covered with sand and dust had already washed themselves. Water was being boiled in the yard, and smoke and dust were rolling .

Next to the boy who was boiling water, there was a pile of strange-shaped firewood.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at it a few more times, and the boy who was boiling water took the initiative to explain: "It was moved from the place where the head and Xiaogu master fought."

... No wonder they left so early, it turned out that they really went to pick up wood to boil water.

Shaoshui asked, "The headmaster and Master Xiaogu..."

"They will have a good talk." Lu Xiaofeng knew their experience and understood their worries, so she took the initiative to give him a reassurance pill.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Lu Xiaofeng.

After saying goodbye to Shaoshui, Lu Xiaofeng went to the wine cellar. The wine cellar was originally locked and could only be used for drinking at regular times, but it was no longer locked after Bu Zao and others came back. There were a lot of fine wines in it. Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing drank several bottles and couldn't forget them.

Jiang Zheng was in a daze in front of the wine cellar. Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised to see him. The two of them exchanged glances and understood that they had the same purpose.

It is said that the truth comes out after drinking... Since we are going to talk, of course we have to drink.

Jiang Zheng and Lu Xiaofeng carried out the wine, saying that the kitchen was preparing dishes, and with the wine, the atmosphere would be very good.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the strong liquor in Jiang Zheng's arms, thought for a while, and said, "I heard from Master Xiao that Chongming's alcohol tolerance is not very good."

Jiang Zheng didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter if you put it first, it will also be very useful to liven up the atmosphere."

Lu Xiaofeng thought so too, Xiao Qingzhou also said that Chongming would go crazy after drinking... I think he would express his thoughts fiercely, which would relieve the pressure in his heart.

Two hours later, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were swaying, the candles in the house were swaying, and the banquet was in chaos.

Chong Ming pointed his sword at the headmaster and said, "You! I'm going to kill you!"

The candlelight reflected on half of the silver mask. Chong Ming's face was red and his eyes were hazy. He was obviously drunk.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Puff, cough, cough, cough!!"
