Chapter 141: Shocking Changes

"Yes, yes, Third Brother."

Jiang Cheng was obviously in awe of the burly man and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Gao Xian, who was watching the excitement nearby, suddenly remembered that this burly man was their third senior brother Wu An, who was also the leader of their group of disciples.

Since Gao Xian entered the sect, Wu An has been the third senior brother, responsible for managing them. Wu An has a rough personality and either beats or scolds his junior brothers, so everyone is afraid of him.

Gao Xian was never beaten or scolded by Wu An, mainly because he was taken care of by his master's wife and Wu An did not dare to be unruly.

Therefore, he did not have a very deep impression of this third senior brother.

It was not until Wu An scolded Jiang Cheng with his domineering and arrogant attitude that Gao Xian's memory was activated and he recognized the other party.

Gao Xian thought about it and quietly walked through the wall to leave the room. After experiencing so many killings, he was no longer afraid of killing people, but he felt that killing these two people was meaningless.

The main thing is that these two people are not a threat, the key is Mr. Xu Qi behind them.

Gao Xian didn't know who Xu Qiye was. Wu An was so confident that he thought Xu Qiye was either a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage, or had a close relationship with a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage, or he had an extremely high and powerful position in the sect.

Most of the Pegasus were independent cultivators, and no one cared how many died. However, Jiang Cheng and Wu An were involved with Xu Qiye, and it was not very smart to kill people before figuring out the situation.

Besides, Gao Xian didn't really want to get involved in this. In his opinion, the master's wife should have ways to protect herself.

If that doesn't work, you can just hand over the "Sanyuan Dan Jing". That's not a problem.

After all, the master's wife doesn't know how to make elixirs, so having the "Sanyuan Dan Jing" in her hand is not only useless, but can also easily bring trouble upon herself.

In this world, resources are distributed according to cultivation level. Once resources and cultivation ability are not proportional, it is easy to cause trouble.

Gao Xian had a deep understanding of this. For the sake of Tiangui Dan and Lujiao Powder, he was forced to fall out with Zhu Hongan, and finally had to fight with Zhu Changsheng.

The bottom line is that others think he is not worthy of controlling so many resources.

Judging from the Master's wife's appearance, she is not a competitive person. Taking this opportunity to solve the problem, on the surface, it seems that the "Three Yuan Dan Jing" has been lost, but in fact, it has gained peace in the future, which may not be a bad thing.

Gao Xian walked around the rooms and saw more than ten people living in the front yard. They seemed to be his fellow apprentices.

Xu Mingyuan had been missing for so long that everyone had obviously let down their guard and behaved more relaxed and casual. Fortunately, no one dared to cause trouble in the backyard.

When he arrived at the backyard, Gao Xian found that the entire yard was covered by a magic circle.

Gao Xian didn’t know what kind of magic circle it was. It looked to be of similar level to the one in Li Shuanglin’s home, except that its protection range was smaller.

The magic circle couldn't stop the master-level shadowless robe, but he didn't want to go in. No matter what the relationship between the original owner and the master's wife was, he was not the original owner, and there were some things he would not do.

After walking around the Xu family twice, Gao Xian didn't find anything unusual, so he returned to the room.

After completing the routine homework, Gao Xian fell asleep in a state of great bliss while practicing dual cultivation with Sister Lan.

The next morning, Gao Xian was reading in his room when his maid Chunxiang came and asked him to go to the backyard, saying that the lady wanted him to have breakfast.

Gao Xian was a little surprised. There were so many fellow disciples in the yard, but his master's wife invited him alone to have breakfast together. This was a bit too intimate.

On the other hand, the master's wife did not shy away from the matter and did not seem to be afraid of others talking behind her back.

Gao Xian couldn't refuse, as his master's wife might have something to tell him.

Jiang Cheng and Wu An also heard the noise. They watched coldly as Gao Xian followed Chunxiang to the backyard.

"That woman really dotes on this brat!"

Wu An's face was gloomy, and the more he looked at Gao Xian, the more he disliked him.

He followed Xu Mingyuan since he was a teenager and worked very hard for thirty years, but got nothing in return.

After Xu Mingyuan's death, Bai Yurong became very cold towards him and handed many things over to Jiang Cheng, acting as if she looked down on him.

This is not just a matter of attitude, but also involves practical interests.

Without the support of his master's wife, he would soon be marginalized in the Xu family.

In a rage, Wu An went to find Xu Shengye and asked for cooperation.

After several days of planning, he contacted a group of fellow disciples, and at this time Gao Xian suddenly appeared.

He could see that Gao Xian's robe and sword were both of extraordinary quality, which made him feel threatened.

What made him even more unhappy was the importance that his master's wife attached to Gao Xian.

Wu An said to Jiang Cheng in a deep voice: "That woman must have a secret affair with this kid. If we don't fight for it, Xu Mingyuan's property will end up in the hands of this kid!"

Jiang Cheng whispered, "If Master's Wife wanted to have a secret affair with that boy, she wouldn't be so blatant..."

"You idiot, they have nothing to fear now!"

Wu An raised his hand to teach Jiang Cheng a lesson, but after thinking that he still had to rely on Jiang Cheng to win over everyone, he slowly put his hand down.

"You are just a coward, and you always do things half-heartedly. That won't do! We must get the Sanyuan Dan Jing today, so that we can have a stable life in the second half of our lives."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to Third Brother." Jiang Cheng responded repeatedly.

Gao Xian came out very quickly. A group of fellow disciples were standing in the yard chatting. When they saw Gao Xian, they all looked strange.

Wu An mocked, "Junior Brother Gao is still favored!"

Gao Xian ignored Wu An and said to Jiang Cheng, "Brother Jiang, I have to go out for something and will be back soon."

Jiang Cheng asked enthusiastically, "Where are you going, Junior Brother? Master's Wife has something to announce this afternoon, so you must remember to come back early."

"Yeah, I know."

Gao Xian smiled and nodded to Jiang Cheng, then turned around and left.

Watching Gao Xian's tall figure disappear, Wu An, who was ignored, felt more and more disgusted with Gao Xian. He made up his mind that he would find an opportunity in the afternoon to teach this brat a lesson!

It was late afternoon, the hottest time of the day, but luckily the sky was overcast and the breeze was cool.

In the courtyard of the main house, Wu An, Jiang Cheng and many other disciples stood casually in several rows, while Gao Xian stood at the back.

Bai Yurong stood on the platform of the main room, facing the many disciples with a serious expression.

Bai Yurong, who was always gentle and quiet, had never been so serious. Many disciples were chatting casually, but they soon felt the power released by Bai Yurong.

Although Bai Yurong was not a foundation-building cultivator, she was also in the late stage of Qi training. At this moment, she was stimulating her spiritual consciousness, and as a master's wife, she naturally suppressed all the disciples.

Wu An had a stern face and looked arrogant, but when he was glanced at by Bai Yurong's cold gaze, he instinctively lowered his head.

Gao Xian, who was standing at the back, was also a little surprised by the majesty displayed by Bai Yurong. In his memory, he had never seen this side of Bai Yurong.

After all, she is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training and the wife of a great cultivator in the foundation-building stage. She is indeed knowledgeable and capable.

Bai Yurong glanced at Gao Xian, and her cold expression softened.

There were more than 20 disciples in the courtyard, all with different appearances. Gao Xian was truly a towering figure among them. The other disciples looked like dust in the background.

Bai Yurong also sighed inwardly. This little disciple had grown up in just a few years and was obviously much more distant and cold towards her.

Many disciples were intimidated by Bai Yurong's power and did not notice the subtle changes in her expression.

Bai Yurong adjusted her mood and said calmly: "I called you here today mainly to talk about two things. First, your master has been missing for dozens of days, and there must be an accident.

"Old Xu and his men are gone, so I can't teach you any skills. From today on, you are all apprentices, and the Xu family has nothing to do with you anymore.

"Secondly, I have decided to close Sanyuan Hall. All the disciples in Sanyuan Hall will be dismissed, and each of them will be given fifty spirit stones as severance pay."

Bai Yurong waved her hand and said, "Leave the aftermath to Jiang Cheng. Okay, you all can go home now."

Seeing Bai Yurong was about to leave, Wu An became a little anxious. He suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly: "Master's Wife!"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The voice was full of energy and very loud, so loud that it was quite rude.

Although many disciples had discussed it beforehand, they were still frightened by Wu An's shout.

Bai Yurong looked at Wu An calmly, "Wu An, do you have anything to say?"

Wu An was a little afraid to look directly into Bai Yurong's bright eyes. He instinctively lowered his eyes, but then felt that this was too weak and raised his head suddenly.

"Master's Wife, we have been following Master Xu for many years and have worked like slaves for him. Today, Master's Wife wants to drive us all away with just one word. This is too heartless!"

"Oh, what do you want to do?" Bai Yurong asked back.

Wu An felt uneasy when Bai Yurong looked at him, but he had to make a move. He said, "Master's Wife, we are learning alchemy from Master Xu. Now that Master Xu has passed away, please pass on the "Three Yuan Alchemy Classic" to us."

"So you want the San Yuan Dan Jing."

Bai Yurong nodded. It was reasonable for a group of alchemists to want the "Sanyuan Dan Jing". She just didn't expect Wu An and the others to be so bold as to force her in public.

Seeing Bai Yurong's gentle attitude, Wu An and Jiang Cheng felt a little expectant.

They also didn't want to fall out with Bai Yurong, so it would be best if they could get the "Sanyuan Dan Jing" smoothly.

Bai Yurong now realized that Wu An, Jiang Cheng and others had already colluded with each other in secret.

She smiled and said, "You have followed me for many years, so it is reasonable for me to pass on the San Yuan Dan Jing to you.

"However, the San Yuan Dan Jing is in Old Xu's possession, and I have never seen it before. You asked me for the San Yuan Dan Jing, but you have found the wrong person."

When Jiang Cheng and many other disciples heard this, their faces turned very ugly.

Indeed, over the years, Bai Yurong never cared about alchemy, and she didn't even care about the affairs of Sanyuantang.

Xu Mingyuan is a very selfish and greedy person. According to his personality, it is reasonable for him not to give Bai Yurong the "Sanyuan Dan Jing", which is such an important alchemy book.

Wu An's face was uncertain. He thought for a moment and said loudly: "Master's Wife, it has come to this, and you are still lying to us!"

Without waiting for Bai Yurong to speak, Wu An said to Jiang Cheng and other disciples: "The Sanyuan Dan Jing is in the hands of Master's wife, she just doesn't want to pass it on to us!"

He said coldly: "Bai Yurong doesn't treat us as her disciples, so we don't have to be polite!"

Many disciples were instigated by Wu An, and their expressions became ferocious.

They naturally gathered around Wu An, each holding a sword or a seal, with fierce eyes.

Chunxiang, who was standing next to Bai Yurong, was so scared that her face turned pale and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

Bai Yurong was very calm. She looked at Wu An and said, "Why, do you still want to kill the master and betray the sect?"

In the world of cultivators, the inheritance of a master is one of the most important foundations. Betraying a master is a serious crime no matter where you are.

Many disciples looked hesitant. If their affairs were to get out, Lianyun Sect would not tolerate them.

"It has come to this point. What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I can go somewhere else to make pills."

Wu An said loudly: "With the "Three Yuan Dan Jing", the world is so big that there is no place that we can't find a place to stay. You have nothing to fear!"

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and shouted at Bai Yurong: "Bai Yurong, don't force us!"

Just as Bai Yurong was about to speak, Gao Xian came to Wu An and the others and said in a deep voice, "As a disciple, you actually threatened the master's wife. This is disobedience and betrayal."

Wu An was a little hesitant to attack Bai Yurong directly, and Gao Xian's appearance at this time was exactly what he wanted.

He sneered at Gao Xian: "You little bastard, it's not your turn to speak!"

As Wu An spoke, he suddenly drew his sword from its sheath and slashed towards Gao Xian's handsome face!

Gao Xian waited until Wu An's sword was about to fall before he drew his sword. The azure blue sword tip flicked lightly, and the Qinglian Sword arrived first. The sharp sword tip brushed across Wu An's sword-holding arm with a low humming sound.

The broken arm holding the sword flew up along with the sword, and blood gushed out.

Gao Xian sheathed his sword and slid backwards to avoid the spraying blood.

From drawing the sword to sheathing it, Gao Xian's movements were fast yet natural and graceful, like white clouds emerging from a mountain or a stream flowing through a dense forest, with an indescribable magical charm.

Wu An was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He instinctively covered the wound on his broken arm and screamed, then stepped back in panic, looking both vulnerable and embarrassed.

All his ambitions and courage were cut off by one sword.

Jiang Cheng and a group of other disciples who were about to take action were frightened by Gao Xian's incredibly fast sword. Their faces turned pale and they were stunned, and no one dared to move.

Bai Yurong, who was standing behind Gao Xian, also looked at Gao Xian with surprise.

With her ninth level of Qi training, she knew very well how fast and powerful this sword was.

After not seeing him for three years, Gao Xian has unexpectedly achieved such a powerful swordsmanship. No wonder his personality has changed so much.

It’s just that Gao Xian seemed to have been possessed by someone else, and he became a completely different person!

Bai Yurong looked at the radiant Gao Xian with mixed feelings...
