The old man stared at Gu Yuan and said in a low voice, "Did you do this?"

"I did it." Gu Yuan nodded, "But the situation was too urgent at the time, and I just acted out of urgency. I hope Master will forgive me."

"Acting in an emergency? Forgive me?"

The old man was so angry that he laughed, and said in a cold voice: "What is more important than my beloved bird?"

Gu Yuan's face became serious, and he said: "It is about an amazing opportunity. Compared with this, you will not care about a mere little bird."

The old man frowned, "Just a little bird? You are so arrogant! I want to see what kind of great opportunity can make you so unclear."

Gu Yuan looked at the master and said: "There are so many people here and it is not convenient to talk. I have the courage to ask the master to move!"

The old man stared at Gu Yuan coldly for a moment, then turned and walked towards the main hall.

Behind him, the group of fire sparrows screamed loudly: "Master, avenge us, kill him and we will let you ride us!"

Entering the hall, the old man turned his back to Gu Yuan and said in a leisurely voice: "Gu Yuan, you and I both ascended from the mortal world. I founded Qingyun Valley and you are still my disciple. I have always treated you well, right?"

There was a hint of emotion in his tone. If it weren't for the last bit of kindness, he would have beaten someone else half to death first.

"Of course I have nothing to say about my great-grandmaster. In fact, I grew up listening to his stories when I was young. I have always known that in addition to his outstanding talents, he also has farsightedness and noble character. He is also extremely wise and well-versed. He will definitely be remembered for all eternity!"

Gu Yuan spoke fluently without even taking a breath, and continued, "I have always been following in my great-grandmaster's footsteps. I have been working hard to become an immortal just because I want to have a few words with such an outstanding great-grandmaster. But when I met my great-grandmaster, I found that he is far more outstanding than the legends say."

The old man closed his eyes and waited until Gu Yuan finished speaking.

Then he said seriously: "Gu Yuan, I have heard this sentence no less than a thousand times since you ascended to the fairyland. I have repeatedly emphasized to you that monks of my generation rely on down-to-earth practice and must not flatter others. This is not the right way! Why don't you change?"

Gu Yuan hurriedly said: "Master taught me that, I just couldn't help but say what was in my heart."

The old man snorted coldly and said: "This matter is not over yet. Tell me, why did you steal my bird?"

Gu Yuan took out the firefly egg in his hand and said: "Master, please look, what is this?"

The old man's eyes condensed and uttered a light exclamation.

"This is... a firefinch egg?!"

He showed a touch of emotion, but then said coldly: "So what if it's a firefinch egg? You stole a firefinch, do you think you can make up for it with an egg? Or do you think I can hatch a firefinch?"

Gu Yuan said: "Grandmaster, this egg was laid by that firefinch!"

"Oh?" The old man quickly brought the egg to his nose and smelled it, his face suddenly showing a friendly look, "Yes, it smells like it."

Then, he stared at Gu Yuan and asked loudly: "Where did it go? It even laid eggs, are you still not willing to let it go?"

Gu Yuan said hurriedly and solemnly: "Grandmaster, a great man has appeared in the mortal world. Whether it is the death of the immortal mentioned above or the changes in the world that just happened, they are all the work of this great man!"

"And then what happened?"

"Then I took it upon myself to give the fire bird to the master."

"Nonsense, how ridiculous!" The old man pointed at Gu Yuan with trembling hands, "You stole my beloved bird, and you even attributed it to the change of heaven and earth?"

Gu Yuan said sincerely, "Grandmaster, everything I said is true. When the fire bird arrived at the master's place, it laid four eggs in a row. The master was so happy that he gave me one."

"Huh? Four eggs laid in a row?"

The old man looked at Gu Yuan, even thinking that he had heard it wrong. His face was full of disbelief, and he said with great sorrow: "Gu Yuan, you are too lazy to even make up a decent lie? This is a blatant insult to my IQ!"

He waved his hand and said tiredly: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I'll give you half an hour! I want to see you return the fire sparrow within half an hour, otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past kindness!"

Gu Yuan stood there without moving.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed lightly and said, "It seems that I have to use the killing hand."

The old man raised his eyebrows and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter? Do you still want to betray your master and ancestors and fight against a rock with an egg?"

Gu Yuan carefully held out the scroll. His face was extremely solemn. He said solemnly, "Master, I got this from a master. It can be called a rare treasure. Its value is definitely above that of an immortal weapon!"

"You look very serious." The old man looked at the scroll, raised his hand to take it, and prepared to open it directly.

"Master, wait a minute!" Gu Yuan's expression tensed, and he quickly reminded: "Master, this painting was painted by a master himself, and it contains divine charm. Now it has entered the fairyland and has been blessed by the fairy spirit. The killing power is amazing. It is not appropriate to open it casually."

The old man smiled disdainfully, "Haha, do you think I am scared? Get out of the way, don't affect my performance."

Gu Yuan took a few steps back and said in fear: "If Master insists on doing this, let me leave the hall first."

"You have never seen the world, go." The old man smiled coldly.

Immediately, Gu Yuan walked out of the hall and stood outside the hall, staring at the hall with extremely vigilant eyes, and auspicious clouds appeared under his feet, ready to ride the clouds and run away at any time.

After waiting for a while, the door of the main hall opened, and the old man came out holding a scroll, "Well, follow me to the back hall. Remember, I'm not afraid of danger, but because I trust you and give you face."

"I understand, I understand."

Gu Yuan hurriedly raised his legs to follow.

The back hall is not big, and it is not open to ordinary people. It is the guard hall of Qingyun Sect.

Generally, the guard formation of the sect uses this place as the center of the formation, and at the same time, it can also be used to suppress. Usually,

there are three elders in charge of the guard.

Seeing the old man and Gu Yuan come in, the elders were surprised at the same time.

They all said, "Master Pei An, Guardian Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuan quickly replied respectfully, "I have met the three elders."

Pei An bowed and said, "Please trouble the three elders to start the formation. I have something to do!"

One of the elders said, "I don't know what you mean, Master? Is someone going to attack the sect?"

"No." Pei An was a little embarrassed, but finally took the scroll and said, "It's just to suppress this thing."

The three elders' eyes suddenly condensed, revealing a cautious look.

After looking at it for a long time, the old man's face suddenly became suspicious, "Master, if I am not mistaken, this seems to be a scroll?"

Pei An nodded.

The three elders looked increasingly strange, and could not help but ask, "From the paper, it is just ordinary paper. From the appearance, this scroll was obviously painted not long ago, and it cannot be said to be a legacy. Why does the sect want us to suppress such an ordinary scroll?"
