Upon seeing the token of True Lord Xiaoyao, the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect naturally adopted a different attitude.
Someone said to the disciple who had been guarding the mountain earlier, in an annoyed tone:
“I told Zhu Denghua, you should get your facts straight before you speak. They have the token of the Carefree True Lord. What kind of trouble is this?”
It turns out that this incredibly impressive disciple is named Zhu Denghua.
Zhu Denghua glanced at the jade pendant and curled his lip indifferently.
"He didn't show it before, how was I supposed to know he had a token? Isn't this just making trouble and wasting everyone's time? Honestly."
Seeing that Zhu Denghua still had the same expression when he saw the token of the Carefree True Lord, Qin Feng's worry intensified.
This attitude of a Foundation Establishment disciple towards a Nascent Soul True Monarch is very strange.
The disciples grumbled, saying that Zhu Denghua was messing things up, and then most of them dispersed.
At this moment, a person walked towards Qin Feng and his companions, and politely asked Qin Feng, "May I ask if you have come to see True Monarch Xiaoyao?"
Qin Feng looked at the newcomer, who was about the same age as him, probably eighteen or nineteen. He was wearing the sect uniform of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was a bit worn. Judging from his appearance, he was an honest person.
This person had a smile on his face, and his attitude was different from that of Zhu Denghua, who was guarding the mountain. After seeing the jade pendant, he showed goodwill to Qin Feng and his companions.
Qin Feng had originally intended to say he was looking for Little Stone, but then thought better of it and decided it would be better to go directly to True Monarch Xiaoyao and find out what had happened first.
"Yes, I'm looking for the Carefree True Lord. May I go in?"
The man nodded. “Of course you can. Since you have the token of the Carefree True Monarch, you are a guest of my Heavenly Sword Sect. I will take you in.”
"Then I'll trouble you. By the way, what should I call you?"
The man chuckled and said, "My name is Liu Yu. Please come to me, gentlemen."
So Qin Feng followed Liu Yu into the Heavenly Sword Sect and headed to the residence of the Carefree True Monarch.
As Zhu Denghua watched Qin Feng and the others disappear, he muttered to himself, "I hope you won't cause trouble for yourselves by interfering in the affairs of Lieyang Peak."
Along the way, Qin Feng asked Liu Yu for information.
"What is the status of the Carefree True Monarch within the sect?"
"He is an elder of our Heavenly Sword Sect, so his status is certainly not low."
"Oh, really? Have you encountered any trouble lately?"
Liu Yu paused, "This... I don't know about the elder's matter."
Qin Feng knew that he wasn't unaware, but rather unable to speak.
He then asked, "Do you know Xiao Shitou? Oh, that's Guo Yunkai."
Liu Yu nodded repeatedly, "I know him, he's a friend of mine. Are you here to see Guo Yunkai?"
Qin Feng nodded, immediately becoming interested.
"Tell me, how has he been lately? Has anything happened to him?"
Liu Yu stammered, "Well, it's alright. Let me take you to see the Carefree True Lord first."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Qin Feng did not force him. He suppressed his unease and decided to talk to the Carefree True Lord first.
"good."
The Heavenly Sword Sect was quite large; it took Liu Yu half an hour to lead them to a cave dwelling.
With birds singing and flowers blooming, mountains and rivers flowing gracefully, pavilions scattered in a charming and picturesque setting, this is the cave dwelling of the Carefree True Lord.
Qin Feng used his mental powers to see that the old man was drinking wine, sitting with his legs crossed, looking quite content.
Liu Yu arrived at the entrance of the cave and respectfully addressed the gatekeeper:
"Senior brothers, these fellow Daoists have come to pay their respects with Elder Zhang's jade pendant. Please inform them."
"Oh, could you let me see the token?"
Qin Feng handed over the jade pendant, and after confirming it was genuine, the man said to Qin Feng and the others:
"Please wait a moment, everyone. I will go and inform the True Lord immediately."
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant and went inside.
Qin Feng asked Liu Yu, "Does the carefree True Lord have the surname Zhang?"
Liu Yu nodded. "Yes."
Qin Feng and the others could only wait quietly.
After a while, the old-looking Xiaoyao Zhenjun came out. When he saw that it was Qin Feng, he was first stunned, and then he laughed happily.
"I must say, you're really something, getting to Yizhou so quickly. Not bad, not bad at all."
Liu Yu quickly bowed respectfully, "Disciple Liu Yu greets Elder Zhang."
The Carefree Daoist looked at Liu Yu and said, "You are Luo Yong's disciple, aren't you?"
"Yes, Elder."
"Thank you for your hard work, you can go ahead with your work."
Liu Yu agreed, then said to Qin Feng and the others, "Then I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back to guarding the mountain gate."
When Qin Feng saw the old man again, he was filled with emotion.
Back in the Lin family mansion in Yin'an City, Qin Feng was merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while this old man was a Nascent Soul True Monarch—the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Today, when we meet again, he has already become a Nascent Soul Venerable, a powerful figure even in Yizhou, while this old man is still a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
It has only been a little over two years.
Qin Feng had many questions to ask him. "It's been a long time since we've seen True Lord Xiaoyao. Won't you invite us in for a seat?"
The old man chuckled and scolded, "You brat, you're still so disrespectful. Come in, all of you, come in."
He led Qin Feng and the others to an elegant villa, a place he seemed to frequent.
Only Qin Feng and his three companions, along with the carefree True Monarch, remained here.
Qin Feng spoke frankly, "Where's Little Stone? Isn't he at the sect?"
The carefree True Lord nodded. "He's out on a mission and isn't here for the time being."
Qin Feng looked intently into his eyes. "Is it a normal mission?"
Old Zhang was taken aback. "Why do you ask that? Isn't it normal for disciples to carry out missions?"
Qin Feng frowned; his intuition told him that the old man was definitely hiding something from him.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
