Chapter 278 I... I am here to pay tribute to Elder Shu (asking for monthly tickets)

At the entrance of the reception courtyard.

When Chu Ning's figure fell, he saw an old man standing in front of the door with a smile on his face.

Is this the elder in charge of reception from Luoshan Sect? Before coming, Chu Ning had already learned about Luoshan Sect. Luoshan Sect is a small sect with a history of only more than a thousand years, and it has only been passed down to the third generation.

The leader of Luoshan Sect is in the late Nascent Soul stage, while the elders are in the middle and early Nascent Soul stages. The core disciples are mainly Golden Core disciples, and there are also some Foundation Establishment cultivators who have just started.

After learning about the situation of Luoshan Sect, Chu Ning knew that this was the basic situation of Danyu. Danyu was mostly populated by these small sects and higher-level sects. Super sects like Danshan Sect were unattainable goals for many cultivators in Danyu.

However, even though it is a small sect, Chu Ning cannot force his way in. Luoshan Sect is protected by formations and has a sect master in the late Nascent Soul stage. If he forces his way in, it will easily cause misunderstandings.

"Welcome to my Luoshan Sect, fellow Taoist. My name is Chen Qian." The old man spoke first.

In Chen Qian's mind, the mid-Nascent Soul stage expert in front of him looked unfamiliar and should not be a cultivator from the Luoning City area.

Chen Qian had seen all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the areas surrounding Luo Ning City, so the one in front of him must be a strong man from other places.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, my name is Chu Ning. I come from Danshan Sect. I came to your sect to see my good friend Shu Wenruan."

Chu Ning went straight to the point, but his words made Chen Qian's mouth open slightly. Even though he was a Nascent Soul expert, Chen Qian couldn't control his emotions at this moment.

"Danshan Sect Chu Ning?"

Ji Youli, who took a step back to the door, heard his master's trembling voice. His eyes fell on Chu Ning, but he felt a little confused.

Who is this person who makes the master so excited? He knows about Danshan Sect, one of the super sects in Danyu. But even if he is from a super sect, his master shouldn't be so excited.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chu. Fellow Daoist Chu made a stunning debut in the rookie competition in Dan City. I heard about it later and I feel extremely sorry that I missed the opportunity to go to Dan City to see Fellow Daoist Chu because of my seclusion."

Chen Qian was very excited because Chu Ning was an alchemist of the same era as him, and Chu Ning caused a sensation in the entire Alchemy City after his performance in the rookie competition.

Chen Qian would not doubt that Chu Ning's identity was fake. During the competition, several other elders in the sect had gone to Dancheng to watch it with their own eyes, and some had watched it through the broadcast of Sihai Trading Company.

Only a foolish person seeking death would impersonate a well-known figure in Danyu like Chu Ning.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is exaggerating. It's just a competition."

Chu Ning smiled slightly. This was the benefit of being famous. Even though he was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, his influence in the Dan Realm was comparable to that of an average Spirit Transformation expert.

Chu Ning also noticed the puzzled look on Ji Youli's face as he stood behind Chen Qian, and a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

In my previous life, there was often a saying about so-called has-been stars. I was afraid that in the eyes of these young people, I was has-been.

The new competition ended a few years ago, and the idols in the eyes of this group of young people are several A-level contestants of this competition.

As for myself, to use the words that were popular in my previous life, those who knew me were all born 100 years before the Chu Yuanli period, and the youngest was over 300 years old.

"This is no small competition."

Chen Qian responded, but then he realized that Chu Ning didn't want to talk to him too much, so he ended the topic.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you here to attend Elder Shu's funeral?"

funeral?

Chu Ning's body trembled, realizing that he was still late and Senior Brother Shu had left.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, can you take me to Senior Brother Shu's place?"

"good."

Chen Qian did not refuse, but he was moved. Chu Ning called Elder Shu "senior brother", which meant that the relationship between Chu Ning and Elder Shu was extraordinary.

Chu Ning is a disciple of Danshan Sect, and is not from the same sect as Elder Shu, but the fact that Chu Ning calls Elder Shu "senior brother" shows that Chu Ning respects Elder Shu very much.

"I'm afraid Elder Sun's plan will be in vain this time."

Chen Qian led Chu Ning up the mountain, and Ji Youli, who was standing behind, was thinking about what he should do when he saw his master stop and said to Ji Youli, "Disciple, go inform the sect master that a distinguished guest is coming."

When Chu Ning came to Luoshan Sect, he could have sent a message to the Sect Master himself, but he specifically asked his disciples to notify them, just to give his disciples a chance.

…

…

Hillside yard.

The atmosphere was very solemn at the moment. Qi Chengli and several other fellow students looked at Zhang Qinqin with some dissatisfaction.

"Third Junior Sister, you should know that even if you insist, it will be useless. Do you think the Sect Master and the other elders will care about what a Foundation Establishment disciple like you says?"

Qi Chengli's voice became stern: "You will only hurt everyone by doing this!"

"Third Senior Sister, what Senior Brother said is right. Don't we want to give Master a grand funeral? It's just that the current situation doesn't allow us to do so."

"My second and fourth senior brothers' medicine shops were robbed. I went to the medicine hall a few days ago to get this month's medicine. They said they didn't have enough medicine and asked me to go back a few days later."

Cao Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Although the master is gone, under normal circumstances, the sect's deacons would not treat us like this. Someone gave these deacons an order. I don't need to tell you who gave the order behind the scenes. My brothers and sisters should know it too."

Elder Sun! The only one who could make those deacons make things difficult for them was Elder Sun.

"Even if we report this to the sect now, the other elders won't care, and the sect master won't care about these little things. To put it bluntly, the sect can't do without Elder Sun, but it can do without us disciples."

"Third Junior Sister, what Senior Brother and Junior Sister said is right. I think if Master knew what we had gone through, he would agree with us doing this."

Zhang Qinqin's face was hesitant, because she knew that what her senior brother and junior sister said was true, and if she insisted, it might be fruitless.

Qi Chengli saw the wavering look on Zhang Qinqin's face and immediately said, "Third Junior Sister, Master has been so kind to us, how could we want Master to be buried like this? It is forced by the current situation. When we break through to the Nascent Soul stage one day, we will definitely wash away today's shame!"

"I agree."

After a long time, Zhang Qinqin replied in a muffled voice. She also saw the joy in the eyes of Senior Brother Qi Chengli and others after she finished speaking.

"You guys go tell Deacon Wang, I'll accompany Master for the last time."

Zhang Qinqin looked at her master lying on the bed. Her master was a powerful Yuanying stage master. Even after passing away, his body would not rot so quickly. He still maintained a peaceful smile.

"I'll go inform Deacon Wang!"

After Cao Ying finished speaking, he walked out of the inner room, and Zhang Qinqin suddenly knelt down at this moment.

Bang, bang, bang! "Master, I am the one who is sorry for you!"

In the yard.

Wang Jiren sat leisurely on the stone table. He believed that Qi Chengli and others would make the right choice.

These people don't have the talent for cultivation, and only Elder Shu, who is a goody-goody, would accept them as his disciples. Now that Elder Shu is gone, if these people don't know what's good for them, there are plenty of ways to deal with them.

They would be assigned some hard work to do and their whole life would be wasted. If they dared to refuse or escape, they would be considered traitors and would end up dead.

"Deacon Wang, I persuaded Senior Sister to agree. In order not to delay Senior Brother Sun Ming's wedding, Master's funeral will be held in secret."

As soon as she stepped out of the inner room, Cao Ying immediately spoke loudly. In order to please Deacon Wang and Elder Sun, she even took credit for persuading Zhang Qinqin.

"Stop talking nonsense. What does this have to do with Junior Brother Sun Ming?"

Unfortunately, her words not only did not make Wang Jiren happy, but instead made Wang Jiren's face gloomy.

There are some things that everyone knows, but they must never be spoken out loud.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Sun Ming. I was confused." Cao Yong looked unhappy and quickly explained, "We think that the Master's funeral doesn't need to be a big one."

When Wang Jiren listened to Cao Ying's words, the gloomy look on his face disappeared.

Since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay here any longer. Qi Chengli and the others will not have any progress in the sect in the future, and they are destined not to have many opportunities to interact with each other in this life.

Wang Jiren walked towards the gate of the courtyard, but as soon as he took a step, he was stunned because two figures walked in through the gate.

"Chen... Elder Chen."

Wang Jiren didn't expect to meet Elder Chen here. Elder Chen is in charge of the sect's reception matters, so why would he appear here?

And who is this person next to Elder Chen? Seeing this person's expressionless face, he didn't know why he felt a chill in his heart.

Chen Qian had a helpless expression on his face. He didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that when he brought Chu Ning here, he would encounter the incident of Wang Ji forcing Elder Shu's disciples.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With his and Chu Ning's spiritual awareness, they had already seen clearly what was happening in this yard, including the situation in the inner room.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, this..."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for bringing me here."

Chu Ning interrupted Chen Qian and looked at the dazed Cao Ying and Qi Chengli and others who came out after hearing the noise. Chu Ning suddenly laughed.

The letter that Senior Brother Shu wrote to him did not mention too many other things. It only mentioned one thing, which was that he hoped he could help take care of his disciples.

"My disciples are not very talented and are not valued in the sect. I am afraid that I will be bullied by my fellow disciples if I leave. I hope Junior Brother Chu can take care of me."

It might be a bit exaggerated to say in Brother Shu's letter that he entrusted his children to others before his death, but his love for these disciples was evident on the paper.

Seeing Chu Ning laughing, Chen Qian's heart skipped a beat. Although they were both in the Nascent Soul stage, the aura Chu Ning exuded at this moment made him feel a little uneasy.

"What are you still standing there for? This is your master's best friend, Fellow Daoist Chu from Danshan Sect."

Chen Qian saw Qi Chengli and others coming out from the inner room with puzzled looks on their faces, and quickly spoke up to remind them.

"You...you are Senior Chu?"

When Qi Chengli and others heard Chen Qian's words, their eyes lit up and their expressions became excited.

They all knew the identity of Senior Chu from Danshan Sect. They did not expect that Senior Chu was actually a good friend of their master, and not just an ordinary friend.

"Junior Qi Chengli greets Senior Chu."

"Junior Cao Ying greets Senior Chu."

"Junior Wang Lijun meets Senior Chu."

"Junior Zhang Miaoren greets Senior Chu."

"Junior Zhang Qinqin greets Senior Chu."

The five of them looked very excited, but Zhang Qinqin's eyes were the brightest. While Qi Chengli and the other four were excited, there was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.

Senior Chu probably didn't hear what they said in the inner room.

According to the rules of the Dan Realm, when a cultivator visits another sect, he cannot use his spiritual sense at will.

Wang Jiren on the side was also dumbfounded. He didn't know who this Senior Chu was, but he knew Danshan Sect.

Whenever any disciple of Danshan Sect comes to the sect, the sect master will personally accompany and entertain them.

This...I'm afraid things are going to be a little bad this time.

"Senior Chu, please make the decision for the master!"

The next moment, Zhang Qinqin suddenly spoke in grief and anger. When these words came out, everyone else's faces changed.

Chen Qian also sighed in his heart. If Elder Shu and his disciples did not bring this matter to the surface, it would be very easy to resolve.

The sect buried Fellow Daoist Shu according to the standards of the elders, and Elder Sun obviously would not offend Fellow Daoist Chu. As for the matter of coercion, Fellow Daoist Chu would also let it go, and everyone knew it tacitly.

After all, this is an internal matter of their Luoshan Sect. Fellow Daoist Chu is just an outsider and it is impossible for him to interfere too much.

But now that Elder Shu's disciple has brought this matter to the surface, it is not so easy to resolve.

As a good friend of Elder Shu, Fellow Daoist Chu must seek justice for Elder Shu.

"Elder Chen, Senior Brother Shu and I are good friends. I will pay my respects to Senior Brother Shu first."

Chu Ning did not respond to Zhang Qinqin's words. He said something to Chen Qian and walked towards the inner room. Qi Chengli and others quickly made way for him and stood aside with nervous expressions.

Seeing Chu Ning walk into the inner room, Chen Qian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Fellow Daoist Chu didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"What are you still doing here? Are you also Elder Shu's disciple?"

Chen Qian glanced at Wang Jiren, who said tremblingly, "No... No, I just came to pay my respects to Elder Shu. Now that I'm done, I'll leave."

Wang Jiren left the yard almost as if he was escaping, and Chen Qian looked at Qi Chengli and the others again.

"You are the younger generation, so just stay in this yard and guard it."

Chen Qian had already received the message from the sect master at this moment. He had to go to the sect hall to inform the sect master and other elders of the situation.

The sect master and his men should know what is going on, but they have no idea how Ning will react. How Chu Ning will react will also determine how the sect should respond.

Inner room.

Chu Ning looked at Shu Wenruan lying quietly on the bed, but his mind was recalling every moment he had spent with Senior Brother Shu in Xinhuo Hall.

"You don't have to call me senior. My last name is Shu. You can call me Senior Brother Shu, because I only arrived in the Dan Region fifty years earlier than you."

"Junior Brother Chu, you should focus on refining pills instead of practicing, and strive to join the sect within a hundred years."

"If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can borrow some from me, my senior brother."

"Brother, you are here to say goodbye to Junior Brother Chu. You are going to a secondary sect, which has a powerful spirit master..."

Scenes from the past came to his mind. Over the past few decades, Chu Ning's friendship with Senior Brother Shu was no less than that with Senior Brother Gu when he was with Wen Jinzong.

"Didn't Senior Brother Shu say he wanted to join a secondary sect? Why did he end up in Luoshan Sect?"

Chu Ning whispered, and then continued: "The people in Luoshan Sect don't know that it is their honor for Senior Brother Shu to join Luoshan Sect."

"Before coming here, I have already sent a message to those guys. Senior Brother Shu, please wait for a few more days."
