"Haha, it turns out it's the Holy Son of the Star Palace who's here. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you!"
As soon as Su Xuhai stepped into the side hall, he saw Rong Jiuxi looking at him with amusement.
"The tea served by the Acting Sect Master is fragrant. How can you say that I have neglected him?"
Rong Jiuxi smiled and saw Su Xuhai coming towards her eagerly, but he had no intention of getting up.
"Everyone, step back!"
Su Xuhai's eyes changed slightly, and his tone became a little colder as he gave instructions to the people behind him.
When Rong Jiuxi saw him dismiss the people around him, he also gave Mei Nianxue a look.
The maids filed out one after another, and the last one to leave gently closed the door.
Su Xuhai then sat next to Rong Jiuxi and poured himself a cup of tea.
"The Xingchen Palace always sends special personnel to the Qingyun Sword Sect. I wonder why the Saint Son came in person this time?"
"Oh? Acting Sect Master, do you not welcome me?"
Rong Jiuxi curled his lips coolly and blew away the tea leaves on the teacup.
"That's not true, Lord Saint. The Star Palace has been of great help to me, Su. I'm so happy that you can come!
How could we not welcome you? I just don't know why the Holy Son has come here this time?"
Su Xuhai asked tentatively, saying that when Song Changfeng disappeared, he had secretly established diplomatic relations with several other major sects.
In order to secure his position as acting sect leader before the four elders came out of seclusion, he made many concessions.
Unfortunately, among the major sects, only the Star Palace and the leader of the Five Elements Sect were willing to provide him with assistance.
Tianyin Temple, Lingshou Sect and Yaoxian Valley all declined. In fact, they still supported Song Changfeng and refused to trust him, a man of unknown origin.
"Qingyun Sword Sect is worthy of being the leader of the eight major sects. Even sword bones that are rarely seen in a century can appear. It is truly enviable!"
A low and cold voice sounded, coming out from Jiuxi's thin lips, and the playful tone was sexy and clear.
"Master Saint, are you talking about Song Qingbai?"
Su Xuhai was silent for a moment and spoke frankly.
"I wonder if the Qingyun Sword Sect would be willing to let me take Song Qingbai back to the Star Palace? After all, the Star Palace has helped the Acting Sect Master a lot, but none of the Acting Sect Master's promises have been fulfilled yet!"
When Rong Jiuxi's gaze fell on Su Xuhai's ever-changing face, his tone became three points colder.
"Sir Saint, since I took the position of Acting Sect Master in the Qingyun Sword Sect, I have sent quite a few gifts to the Star Palace every year.
After all, Song Qingbai is the daughter of the Sect Leader, and now that the four elders have all emerged from their retreat, it would be inappropriate to take her away so easily."
Su Xuhai smiled again. He was thinking about a lot of things. He thought that the Lord also wanted Song Qingbai, probably because he was attracted by her sword bones.
"Oh? So the Acting Sect Master is unwilling to cooperate?"
Rong Jiuxi came in front of him, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. No one had ever dared to offend him like this.
Except Song Qingbai of course...
"Lord Saint, please calm down. It's not that I refuse to cooperate, but you are well aware that I am being constrained by the four elders in every way.
Besides, Song Qingbai is being closely guarded by Elder Yunmeng, so how can I send him to the Xingchen Palace quietly? How about I give him a little more as a gift this year?"
Bang....
The sound of a teacup falling to the ground was heard, and a cold light flashed on Rong Jiuxi's face. When his eyes fell on the broken teacup, the murderous aura on his body suddenly increased.
"Su Xuhai, I see that you have been sitting on the position of Acting Sect Leader for a long time. I am afraid that you have long forgotten why you came to my Xingchen Palace to beg for help!
For his own benefit, the acting leader of Qingyun Sword Sect did not hesitate to give most of his brother's property to us.
If people knew that you begged us to help you, what would they think? Would you still be able to maintain your position as the clan leader?
"Sir Saint, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
Looking at the broken teacup on the ground, Su Xuhai's face didn't look very good either.
A junior was showing off in front of me just because he was the Holy Son of the Star Palace. Did he really think he was useless?
Or do you still think you are the Su Xuhai from six years ago?
"It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's just that the Star Palace believes in your ability."
Rong Jiuxi ignored his ugly expression and pursed her thin lips.
"This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. It would be better for Saint Son to rest for a few days in the Qingyun Sword Sect first."
Seeing that he was equally difficult to deal with, Su Xuhai thought about calming him down first.
After Lou Xinyue kidnaps Song Qingbai, she will first give him to His Majesty. Later, regardless of whether Song Qingbai is dead or alive, it will not be too late to give him to Rong Jiuxi.
In short, this is the only way to achieve the best of both worlds.
"That's fine. I'll stay for a few more days. I hope the Acting Sect Master won't let me down."
The fire in Rong Jiuxi's eyes was fleeting. He slowly stood up, opened the door, and left.
"Ye Xing, quickly go and help Lou Xinyue. You must get the person out of Qingyun Sword Sect tonight."
After a long time, Su Xuhai suppressed the anger in his heart and gave orders to Ye Xing.
"Yes, Master."
Just as Ye Xing, a man in black, left, Su Yimo walked in.
"Father, what happened? Why do you look so bad?"
Seeing Su Xuhai's tense face, Su Yimo asked with some concern.
In the past few days, Song Qingbai broke Linglong's chess game as soon as she entered the academy. Her popularity is almost overwhelming herself. If she is allowed to master swordsmanship, will she still have a chance to make a comeback?
All this happened so suddenly that she couldn't accept it and it also made her feel a great sense of crisis.
"Yi Mo, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the academy at this hour?"
"Father, I heard that Shen Rangchen is back. I forced him to leave back then. Now that he's back, I'm afraid he won't take the opportunity to retaliate against us!"
Su Yimo's face was pale. Six years ago, when Song Changfeng disappeared, she sent people to the palace and secretly poisoned him, forcing Shen Rangchen to leave Qingyun Sword Sect.
What if I get discovered?
After all, Shen Rangchen has always been shrewd and extremely difficult to mess with.
"Yi Mo, don't overthink it. Everything that happened back then was instigated by Song Changfeng. No matter who asks, don't forget it."
"Yes, father."
Su Xuhai's eyes were deep, Chen Rangchen returned, the four elders came out of retreat early, and Song Qingbai's sword bone appeared in the world. How could it all happen by such a coincidence?
Now even the Star Palace has come knocking on his door. A murderous look flashed in his eyes. It seems that tonight's operation can only succeed and cannot fail!
"Yi Mo, after school tonight, go back to your own courtyard and don't wander around casually."
"Father, what's going on? And why are you involved with the people in the Star Palace?
What happened? Tell your daughter!"
Su Yimo stared at the person in front of her. What on earth had this person, who had raised her and loved her so much, done without telling her?
"Yi Mo, just be obedient. There are some things that I can't tell you right now."
Su Xuhai gave her a few more worried instructions, and then asked her to hurry back to Zhenwu Academy.
The key to everything lies in Song Qingbai. As long as she is gone, all the problems will be solved.
