Zhongli Tingzhou didn't know that just a few words of his had caused Yuan Ran to misunderstand him, so he ran to Gao Han to verify it.
I spent half a day in the Tibetan Kung Fu Pavilion, selecting dual cultivation techniques for half a day, and finally temporarily selected dozens of techniques.
When he moved out, Elder Wang, who saw this scene, was stunned and immediately stopped him before he could go out.
"Uncle Master, please stay!"
"Is there something?" Zhongli Tingzhou was a little impatient now, and was a little unhappy to be stopped by him.
Elder Wang said with a stiff face, "Uncle Zhongli, the Pavilion of Hidden Power has a rule that each disciple can borrow no more than three general exercises, and advanced exercises cannot be taken out of the Pavilion. Not only are the ones you took a bit too much, but some of them are advanced exercises..."
It's not just a few, it's a lot. He has never seen anyone go in and out and take away dozens of books in one go.
To put it another way, even if you can't make up your mind and pick and choose, you won't end up with dozens of books left. Ten or so would be considered a lot.
Zhongli Tingzhou threw his ID card to him again and said, "I'll leave this with you. If you pay back one less, I'll compensate you." After saying that, he left.
"Wait." Elder Wang was mentally prepared this time and stopped him again before he left.
"Is there anything else?" Zhongli Tingzhou was eager to go back and share these dual cultivation techniques with Gao Han, and immediately showed an unhappy expression.
Elder Wang wanted to cry but had no tears. "Uncle Zhongli, the rules of the Hidden Merit Pavilion mean that I cannot explain myself if you do this."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. What's the point of sticking to the rules? Do you want to guard the Canggong Pavilion here for the rest of your life?" Zhongli Tingzhou said righteously.
Elder Wang groaned. What is the connection between the two? He was silent for a second. "...I really don't want to guard the Canggong Pavilion for the rest of my life."
Although the Canggong Pavilion is good, it also delays cultivation. The path of cultivation cannot be achieved by working in isolation.
Although he accepted this task, he knew that it was a sign of the sect's trust in him, but as a result, he would not be able to go out to gain experience and complete missions.
"Very good, I will talk to Junior Brother Bai and ask him to send someone to replace you." After saying this, Zhongli Tingzhou walked away swaggeringly without looking at the stunned Elder Wang.
When Elder Wang came to his senses, he could no longer see his elder brother. In such an illegal way, dozens of martial arts manuals were taken away by the other party.
Elder Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. If it got out, it would be bad for his reputation. After hesitating for a long time, he asked someone to guard the Canggong Pavilion on his behalf and decided to go to the sect leader to explain the matter.
Sect Leader Bai used to be very busy, but since he handed over many of the chores to Yuan Ran, he has become freer.
When he heard that Elder Wang wanted to see him, he thought it was about Canggong Pavilion. Since he was relatively free, he asked someone to call him in.
"Why did Elder Wang come here today? Nothing happened at the Canggong Pavilion, right?" Sect Leader Bai asked with a smile.
Elder Wang said helplessly: "No, but there is one thing I have to report after thinking about it."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Not long after saying this, Sect Master Bai regretted why he was in such a good mood today.
Elder Wang took out the ID card that Zhongli Tingzhou had left with him and said, "Uncle Zhongli came to Canggong Pavilion today and left this thing as collateral."
Sect Leader Bai's smile froze, "What are you mortgaging?"
"He took dozens of martial arts manuals from the Pavilion. I told him that the sect has a rule that advanced martial arts manuals cannot be taken out of the Pavilion, but he refused to listen and threw down this ID card, saying he wanted to mortgage it," Elder Wang explained.
Sect Leader Bai rubbed his brows. He knew that everything related to Uncle Zhongli was never a good thing.
"Are you just going to let him take away dozens of manuals?"
When he talked about dozens of books, he gritted his teeth.
Elder Wang replied aggrievedly: "Of course it's impossible, but he insisted on taking me away, and also said..."
"What else is there to say?" Sect Leader Bai had a headache.
"He also said that rules are dead, but people are alive. If he was allowed to take the skills out, he would ask you, the Sect Master, to find someone to replace me to guard the Hidden Power Pavilion." Elder Wang said innocently, "I was frightened for a moment, and he ran away."
The corner of Sect Leader Bai's mouth twitched. He now finally understood that no one in Zixiao Sect was good, and each of them had their own little book.
After he said that, you really came to tell this sect master about this matter. This sect master couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it. What if Uncle Zhongli really came to him to talk about this matter, would he agree or not?
If he doesn't agree, he will offend others. He already has several grudges against him.
Agree to it, you never know what more serious things will happen in the future.
"Elder Wang, Elder Wang, I think it's you who wants to change." Sect Leader Bai was so angry that he laughed.
"Master, you are joking. If I wanted to change, I would not come here to tell you about this." Elder Wang said innocently with a kind look on his face.
I'd be a fool to believe you!
Sect Leader Bai had a wooden face, he must be the reincarnation of a human spirit.
"Everything has been taken out. There is no point in talking about this now. What skills did Uncle Zhongli take away?"
"This... I didn't see it clearly at the time, but most of them are advanced techniques." Elder Wang was so shocked at the time that he didn't even bother to see what techniques he had taken. "Sect Master, this uncle shouldn't pass it on, right?"
"It shouldn't happen. Although Senior-Master Zhongli looks muddle-headed, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know his limits. But we still have to give him a warning." Sect Leader Bai pondered over who should he send to give him the warning.
At this moment, a disciple came to report that Yuanran had returned.
Sect Leader Bai was delighted. This second disciple was so considerate. Every time his master was in trouble, the second disciple would appear at the right time and call him in immediately.
"Master, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yuan Ran came in and saw Elder Wang, and he bowed his hand. He asked in surprise, "Why is Elder Wang here too?"
I just saw him in Canggong Pavilion half a day ago.
Elder Wang smiled and said, "I just want to report something to the Sect Master. Sect Master, I will leave first."
Sect Leader Bai hummed expressionlessly. This old fox escaped very quickly.
"Your great-grandmaster Zhongli has taken dozens of advanced techniques from the Hidden Merit Pavilion. Go find him at Shangjiu Peak and read them yourself, but don't pass them on to others. You must return them to the Hidden Merit Pavilion intact when the time comes."
Yuan Ran was stunned, and his face immediately turned red. Great-Master Zhongli actually took away dozens of dual cultivation techniques from the Canggong Pavilion?
"I don't know how he suddenly thought of it. Isn't the Sword of Destruction taught by his uncle-master enough? Or does he want to learn other skills and try other paths? Yuanran, do you know what your uncle-master Zhongli has done recently... Why is your face so red?" When Sect Leader Bai finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his second disciple's reaction was very strange.
Yuan Ran remembered Gao Han's last warning, asking him not to tell anyone else about Zhongli Tingzhou's research on the dual cultivation technique, and quickly straightened his face, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little hot."
"How can you, a Yuanying stage cultivator, feel hot?" This reason obviously did not convince Sect Leader Bai.
"Master, please don't ask anymore." Yuan Ran couldn't lie and could only say pleadingly.
"Okay, now that you've grown up, it's normal that you can't share secrets with your master, but remember to take care of yourself." Sect Leader Bai said.
Yuan Ran nodded quickly, and when he realized what his master meant, his face turned red again, "Master!"
Sect Leader Bai smiled. His disciples were truly more innocent than the other. "Alright, go ahead."
"That disciple has left." Yuan Ran immediately fled.
After leaving the hall, he was conflicted again as to whether he should go find Zhongli Tingzhou to convey his master's intentions. If he went, it might be even more embarrassing, but if he didn't go, it wouldn't work either.
For the first time, Yuan Ran felt that dealing with Grand-Master Uncle Zhongli was an awkward thing, but he still had to go.
On the other side, Zhongli Tingzhou returned to Wuming Peak with dozens of dual cultivation techniques. Seeing Gao Han waiting for him, he thought that he was also a little impatient.
"Should we go outside?"
Gao Han smiled and asked, "What are you doing outside?"
Zhongli Tingzhou was quite good at observing his expression. Seeing that he was laughing too much, he asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
"Yuanran came to ask me if you had met a woman outside, and asked me to keep an eye on you and make sure you didn't get seduced by the woman outside." Gao Han said.
"Are you sure he is talking about me and not you?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked suspiciously.
"What does it have to do with me?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows.
"It's you who's attracting so many people outside." Zhongli Tingzhou said with certainty.
"For example?" Gao Han really had no impression at all. He had never done anything to attract so many women.
"For example, the two women in the Fairy Sect have both taken a fancy to you. I can see it clearly." Zhongli Tingzhou gritted his teeth. Anyone who dared to covet him was really courting his life.
"I've forgotten what they even look like."
"You can say you forgot, but this is still Mo Xuyou's business." Zhongli Tingzhou's face suddenly changed after he finished speaking, "You suddenly changed the subject, are you regretting it?"
Gao Han rubbed his temple, "Are you so obsessed with dual cultivation?"
"I've waited for a year. Do you think it's a big deal?" Zhongli Tingzhou said, and then said seriously, "And I'm helping you, don't you know?"
"Oh?" Gao Han looked expressionless.
"There is less than a year left before the Ten Thousand Immortals Path. The lowest level of cultivation is Nascent Soul. Dual cultivation can help you quickly improve your cultivation. I am thinking about you."
Gao Han: "...Thank you so much."
Zhongli Tingzhou: "You're welcome."
Gao Han raised his foot and was about to kick him.
Zhongli Tingzhou quickly took out the dual cultivation method he had found, "This is the dual cultivation method I found. Which one do you think is good? We will choose that one."
Gao Han saw dozens of martial arts manuals falling to the ground. They were all advanced martial arts manuals. Three black lines slid down his forehead. "Have you taken away all the advanced martial arts manuals in the hidden martial arts pavilion?"
"How is that possible? This is less than one percent of the collection in the Canggong Pavilion. The Zixiao Sect's collection of books is indeed rich, but there are not many of this type." Zhongli Tingzhou actually felt that it was too little, but there was nothing he could do. This was all he could find. He didn't dare to say this out loud, fearing that Gao Han would want to hit him again.
