Chapter 210 Extra
The last time the five major sects in the cultivation world gathered together was when the Ten Thousand Sects Conference was held at Shenxu Palace. At that time, Du Heng was still the chef of Shenxu Palace. Even though Shenhua Peak was extremely lively, he only knew how to cook well in the dining hall.
This time, whether it was intentional or coincidental, the monks from all the major sects came to Dingkun Sect one after another. Those who were not aware of the situation thought that Dingkun Sect had convened the next Ten Thousand Sects Conference. The shore was full of flying boats from various sects. Within three days, flying boats from the five major sects appeared.
However, there are slight differences between the five major sects today and the previous five major sects. One of them, Tianyi Sect, has dropped out of the list of the five major sects, and has been replaced by a sect called Sanqing Sect.
It was normal for the ranking of the sect to change. After everyone laughed, they accepted the leader of the Sanqing Sect. In this world, only the strong can be looked up to. If you want others to look at you with respect, you must show your strength.
At the beginning of the morning hour, Shang Zhengqing brought Du Heng and the others to the main hall, where all the sect leaders and elders, both big and small, were sitting in a dense crowd.
There were Yang Yuanqing and his disciples from Zhenhuang Mountain, who were dressed like red lanterns. There were sword cultivators from Shenxu Palace, who exuded sword spirit. The leader, Ji Qingyan, even tied a red hair string today. Those who didn't know the truth thought that he was the one who was going to rob the bride.
There were female cultivators from Langhuan Pavilion wearing lavender robes that showed off their beautiful legs and slender waists. Yu Jing and Su Xian even nodded and saluted Du Heng and the others...
Du Heng was surprised after looking around. He asked Xuan Yu quietly, "My master is just looking for a Taoist partner. Are they all so enthusiastic?"
Is there nothing to do in their own sect? Everyone is concentrating on gossiping about Wen Qiong's love life? And who leaked it? Even he knew about Wen Qiong and Qi Yushu's three-day appointment after Xiaoxiao and the others leaked the secret. Do these people have ears in Dingkun Sect? Why are they running faster than rabbits?
Xuan Yu smiled slightly: "I think they are just looking for an opportunity to get together. Maybe they will discuss something important later."
Du Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was right. If the cultivators were all so bored, then wouldn't the Taixu Realm be hopeless? Besides, the last Ten Thousand Sects Conference was more than a decade ago. So many things have happened in the cultivation world during this period, so everyone should get together to exchange ideas.
At this time, Xiaoxiao poked Du Heng: "Du Hengheng, I saw Jinghong."
Du Heng followed Xiaoxiao's instructions and saw Jinghong wearing a veil and leaning against the pillar at the entrance. If Du Heng had not had some impression of her aura, he would have missed it.
Before, Jinghong was used by Jiu Shisan to do stupid things for Ji Qingyan. She was despised and exiled for more than 800 years. After she was forgiven by Fenggui and Xiaoxiao and untied her knot, she became the vigorous and decisive fairy Jinghong again.
Jinghong has an amazing talent in architecture. The old Xia who helped Du Heng and his team build the house before was her subordinate. After Jinghong's return, her construction team received more orders, and now many people would go to her when they wanted to build a palace.
However, Jinghong's focus is not on building houses, she prefers to run around. When she was Fenggui's subordinate, she was responsible for delivering messages to Fenggui. If you want to use a suitable word to describe Jinghong's work, she is equivalent to Du Heng's hometown... telephone.
Now she has become a bridge between the demon world and the cultivation world. She has recruited some feather tribes to form a special organization for transmitting messages. The name is Feihong. The cultivators who hold the Feihong Order can ask the demon cultivators of Feihong to help transmit messages. As long as they are within the Taixu Realm, the message can be transmitted across the east and west in just two days.
Jinghong bowed to Du Heng, and Du Heng smiled back. He was very happy to see Jinghong so energetic. For a long time, whenever Du Heng thought of Jinghong, he would think of the girl who was kowtowed in despair in the cold weather. Thank God, she finally survived.
Xiaoxiao reminded Du Heng in a low voice: "Du Hengheng, did you see the old man next to Jinghong?"
Old man? Du Heng glanced at Jing Hong and saw a skinny old man with white hair and a kind face wearing a silk scarf. When Du Heng looked at him, the old man saluted Du Heng from a distance. Du Heng didn't know his identity, so he quickly returned the salute.
He asked Xiaoxiao: "Who is this?"
Xiaoxiao introduced him, "This man is the Great Master of the Great Void Realm. He will be present whenever there is a major event in the cultivation world. It seems that what happened today will be recorded in the history of the Great Void Realm."
Du Heng's head was full of black lines: "No... No way."
Little Feather said, "That's right. Because the people present are very important figures in the world of cultivation, Bai Xiaosheng will record what happened in the hall."
Xiaoxiao chuckled: "He even remembers who farted."
Du Heng looked towards Bai Xiaosheng with resentment. Did he remember all his frustrations? Jing Nan chuckled and whispered in Du Heng's ear, "Don't worry, Bai Xiaosheng is a smart guy. He knows exactly what to write and what not to write."
Du Heng was relieved: "That's good. By the way, are we waiting for Master now?" Qi Yushu and the others were all present, and the only one missing was Wen Qiong, who should be here soon.
Wen Qiong's breath came from outside the hall. Here she comes! In an instant, everyone's eyes glowed blue and stared at the door. Du Heng was very upset. He just thought that the monks cared about their country and the world, but now he wanted to withdraw his words.
This group of people gathered together just for gossip, they didn’t come to discuss anything important!
Soon a sturdy figure appeared at the door. Sect Master Wen transformed into a man and strode in. As soon as he entered the door, the tall 'man' was surprised. She said in a rough voice: "Wow, so many people? It's so lively. Dear Sect Masters, long time no see!"
Yu Jing, Su Xian and the others all stood up and greeted Wen Qiong: "Sect Master Wen."
Wen Qiong hadn't shown her manly state for a long time. Du Heng was used to her petite figure jumping around in front of him, and suddenly saw her manly state, which made him feel uncomfortable. However, some people liked Wen Qiong like this, so Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Wen."
Wen Qiong strode to the center of the hall and stood there: "My fellow Taoists, welcome to Dingkun Sect. I was sorry for not welcoming you due to personal matters." The monks all bowed: "Master Wen, you are too polite."
Wen Qiong said straight to the point: "I know why everyone is here today. A few days ago, there were some misunderstandings between Sect Master Yang and Elder Ye Taishang and me. Today, while everyone is here, I will talk about it."
Wen Qiong said: "I am a rough person. I have never considered the issue of a Taoist partner in my cultivation. So when Sect Leader Yang and Old Ye showed their affection for me, I was really scared."
Wen Qiong's frankness elicited good-natured laughter from everyone, and even Yang Yuanqing and Ye Wenqiu smiled awkwardly.
Wen Qiong said: "I'm telling the truth in front of everyone, Brother Yang and Old Ye, if what I said makes you uncomfortable, don't take it to heart. I really haven't thought about developing personal feelings with either of you. In my opinion, we are very good friends. We can talk and discuss Taoism, but it is impossible for us to be Taoist companions."
Wen Qiong looked at Yang Yuanqing calmly: "Brother Yang is a man of integrity. You and I have always admired each other, and I regard you as a confidant. You should find a Taoist partner who regards you as the sky and loves you wholeheartedly, but I am not the type you need. Maybe you feel comfortable talking to me, but that is different from love. Love is not just about you and I chatting and discussing the Tao, but also about many trivial and tedious things. These things will destroy the relationship between two people little by little, and trivial things are the most annoying."
Wen Qiong said: "I often envy Long Jun and my master. They seem to be ordinary together. But this ordinary life is supported by love. When encountering problems, they only have each other in their hearts. Ask yourself, Brother Yang, when you and I disagree on the Tao, I want to slap you to death. We each have our own Tao, and we will not compromise for each other."
Wen Qiong bowed to Yang Yuanqing and said, "Brother Yang, you and I are both proud people, and neither of us will bow down for the other. Just for this reason, there is no possibility for us to become Taoist companions."
After saying this, Yang Yuanqing looked a little sad. He sighed and said, "Yes. I only think about women in this world, and you are the only one who can talk to me and share the same interests with me. But in the end, a Taoist partner still needs love, which I really lack. Brother Wen, I have caused you trouble before! I apologize to you!"
Yang Yuanqing actually accepted Wen Qiong's words so easily? Could it be that Wen Qiong's previous beatings on him had worked?
After dealing with Yang Yuanqing, Wen Qiong looked at Old Ye. He opened his mouth and said, "Old Ye." Ye Wenqiu responded, and he stood up and saluted Wen Qiong: "Yes."
Wen Qiong scratched her head and sighed depressedly: "Old Ye, I liked you before. But that kind of liking was... just... lust at first sight. You were as proud as a little peacock at that time, and I was no different from an ordinary girl. Just think that I was lustful and offended you. Really, I have reflected deeply since then, and I will never judge people by appearance again."
Ye Wenqiu looked at Wen Qiong quietly: "I was wrong first, I have reflected on it, I'm sorry."
Ye Wenqiu's temperament is different from Yang Yuanqing's. When facing Yang Yuanqing, Wen Qiong can just slap him. But when facing Ye Wenqiu, this guy is actually very sensitive. If he says something wrong, he will hide and worry about it.
Hearing Ye Wenqiu's apology, Wen Qiong waved her hand generously: "We have both been too modest for the mistakes we made. Let's just forget about it. I know you. Do you feel sorry for me? There is no need to. I have thought about it seriously for a long time these days. I feel that even if I have a Taoist partner, it cannot be like you."
Elder Ye was being despised, and Wen Qiong said sternly: "I am a careless person, and I throw my things everywhere. If I were with you, the place where we live would become a garbage dump, and then our disciples would have to dig for us in the garbage dump."
Ye Wenqiu said slowly: "I will learn to take care of you."
Wen Qiong smiled and shook her head: "Old Ye, I don't want to learn how to take care of you."
Ye Wenqiu was stuck, and after a long while he spoke: "I don't need it..." Wen Qiong smiled slightly: "Are you trying to say that you don't need my care? Old Ye, two people together should love and care for each other."
Ye Wenqiu didn't quite understand, Wen Qiong said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand slowly. Anyway, I'll tell you this, your Taoist partner is someone else. Don't waste your time on me."
Ye Wenqiu was silly, Wen Qiong smiled: "Don't stand there stupidly. I'm really not suitable for you." Ye Wenqiu said sullenly: "Oh."
After saying this, Ye Wenqiu sat down calmly. He seemed to be thinking seriously about Wen Qiong's words.
Qi Yushu couldn't help but clench his hands. It was time to decide life or death. He was so nervous that he couldn't even stand. If there was a crack in the ground at this moment, he would definitely crawl into it.
Wen Qiong looked at Qi Yushu with a smile: "Yushu." Qi Yushu bowed deeply: "Master."
Wen Qiong suddenly became spiritual, and she changed from a big and strong man to a petite girl. Wen Qiong was wearing a pink dress and two pink butterfly hairpins on her head: "Is this the first set of clothes you bought for me?"
Qi Yushu looked at Wen Qiong in astonishment: "Master..."
This was indeed the first set of clothes he bought. At that time, the sect was very poor, and Qi Yushu was like a walking money-eating beast. He used all the spiritual treasures that Wen Qiong had found. One year at an auction, Wen Qiong gave Qi Yushu money to bid for the wood-type spiritual fire that would be beneficial to his cultivation.
However, Qi Yushu did not take the wood spirit fire, he took back the pink robe. He knew that this set of clothes had been hanging in the Immortal Clothing Pavilion for a long time, and Wen Qiong would look at it for a long time every time she walked over.
After buying this dress back to the sect, Wen Qiong wore it once, and then put it in the bottom of the box. Qi Yushu thought that Wen Qiong got tired of it after wearing it once, and bought many skirts for Wen Qiong after that. Unexpectedly, Wen Qiong came out wearing this skirt again today, and Qi Yushu's eyes were slightly hot.
Wen Qiong said solemnly, "There are three men in this world who are very important to me. The first is my biological father, who gave me flesh and blood. The second is Long Jun, who saved my life when I was in danger and passed on to me the secret formula that gave me a direction to move forward. The third is you, who accompanied me through the most difficult time of founding a sect. In the two hundred years since Zheng Qing appeared, only you and I, the master and disciple, have been holding on to the Dingkun Sect. I... have made you suffer."
Qi Yushu bowed deeply with red eyes: "It is my duty as a disciple."
Wen Qiong shook his head: "There are so many disciples who defected in the world of cultivation. Some disciples felt that their own sect had no future and defected to other sects. Some disciples abandoned their masters because they felt that their masters could not meet their requirements. Some even felt that their masters treated them poorly and had murderous intentions. Yushu, you are my first disciple. I must admit one thing. If Dingkun Sect did not have you, it might not have developed to what it is today."
Qi Yushu lowered his head, he became more and more frightened. What did Wen Qiong mean by this?
Wen Qiong said, "I have thought about it carefully these past few days. What Taoist couples need most is love and companionship, and you have given me both of these. Every little skirt I like was bought by you. The little butterfly hairpin I like was also made by you. When everyone thought that Dingkun Sect had no future, it was you who encouraged me and stayed by my side. Yushu, what you have done and what you have paid for is far more than a disciple would pay for."
Even though Wen Qiong felt that Qi Yushu was not suitable to be the leader, and she wanted to hand over the position of leader to Shang Zhengqing, Qi Yushu had no objection. This kind of mind is not something a disciple can have.
Wen Qiong bowed to Qi Yushu guiltily: "I'm sorry, Yushu."
Qi Yushu felt a chill spreading from his fingers to the soles of his feet. Did Wen Qiong... not want him anymore? In an instant, Qi Yushu's face turned pale.
Wen Qiong continued, "I have been enjoying your efforts without a clear conscience, but I have never thought about your feelings. I have seriously considered this in the past few days. If I need to find a Taoist partner, then this person will not be anyone else except you. But I must tell you honestly that I have not yet learned how to love someone, at least I cannot treat you as my Taoist partner and care for you for the time being. However, I will work hard to learn, please give me some time."
Wen Qiong said firmly: "I don't know what it will be like for an ordinary female cultivator to have a Taoist partner. I will work hard to learn. I will try to become a qualified Taoist partner."
Qi Yushu's tears started to fall, and the female cultivators from Langhuan Pavilion also cried with him. The female cultivators choked up and said, "Wow, this is love!"
"So touching, Sect Master Wen!"
Qi Yushu choked up and said, "Master, you are already very good. You don't need to change anything for me. Yushu can listen to Master's words today, and I will die without regrets."
Du Heng blew his nose with a puff. He sniffed: "It's not easy for Senior Brother." Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng with deep eyes: "Yes, it's not easy to wait for the clouds to clear and see the moon."
The monks around started to make a noise, with Yang Yuanqing and Shang Zhengqing making the loudest noises: "Hug one, hug one!"
"Don't be scared, big brother, come on—"
"Well, shouldn't I call him Senior Brother? Should I call him Grandmaster?"
Surrounded by the crowd, Qi Yushu and Wen Qiong walked closer and closer face to face. Each other's faces were clearly reflected in their eyes. There was no better scene in the world than this!
