The person I'm looking for is named Xiao Cha
Within half an hour, several elders who rarely appeared in public appeared in the side hall of Hengyuan Sect.
Only the retreating leader has not appeared yet.
The tall Fifth Elder swung his cane and said, "The Immortal Gate Banquet was meant to be a report to the upper realms. What kind of mess has your Liuli Sect made of it?"
The short Third Elder stroked his beard and said, "Indeed, it's just a matter of proposing marriage. Why choose this moment?"
The Third Elder shook his hands, his pale voice rising considerably as he spoke again: "We've stolen the limelight from the Immortal Sect Association. If the higher realms blame us, who will bear the consequences?"
The two elders chattered incessantly, their hoarse and shrill voices expressing words of reproach.
This is really unpleasant to listen to.
But the person being blamed - Nangong Ye was not affected at all and turned a deaf ear to it.
He leaned lazily in the chair, supporting his head with one hand, and his golden hair crown flashed with a faint coldness.
Nangong Ye looked at the silent person in front of him leisurely, raised his other hand, and Hu Qianji, who was standing behind him, immediately stepped forward and handed over the teacup in his hand.
The slightly hot tea has a bitter taste in my mouth.
Nangong Ye held the teacup with some disdain, threw it to Hu Qianji beside him, raised his eyes and said to Bai Li: "I came here for... not a cup of tea."
Bai Li turned around indifferently and sat down, then he went straight to the point and said, "Since Sect Leader Nangong is here to offer a betrothal gift."
"I just don't know why this has been going on for so long. Who is it for Sect Leader Nangong?"
Nangong Ye turned his head and motioned Hu Qianji to speak.
Hu Qianji took a step to the side and bowed to the two elders in front of him again, very humbly.
"Greetings, Elder Bai. My name is Hu Qianji."
"I met that person twice, and we were very compatible. I fell in love with him at first sight."
Hu Qianji pretended to pause, then pretended to be infatuated, and continued, "I heard that person is a disciple of your sect, so I came here to continue our relationship. That person's name is - Xiao Cha."
"I hope the elders will grant me this."
"Xiao Cha?"
Bai Li was very unfamiliar with this name, and no familiar face came to his mind.
The fifth elder and the third elder stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the purple in the hall.
At the same time, they were also thinking about the name 'Xiao Cha'.
The fifth elder opened his eyes wide in confusion: "Xiao Cha?"
The Third Elder shook his head and replied, "I don't know him."
But Yan Meiqian, who was in the side hall, felt her heart skip a beat.
I didn't expect that the person Hu Qianji was thinking about was Young Master Xiao. Now I'm in trouble...
Yan Meiqian couldn't help but sweat on her hands.
After all, Young Master Xiao was just a guest in the sect who was staying there under the identity of Junior Brother Song.
This also means that Xiao Cha has no status and no backing in Hengyuan Sect, which means that Master and Elder Yuan will not give up the interests between the two sects just because he is a mortal.
what to do?
And at this time.
Yuan Li, who was also reminiscing, suddenly turned her head and looked at Yan Meiqian inquiringly.
Although he had never met Xiao Cha, he was the sect's "chief steward" after all, and had a very good memory.
When the name Xiao Cha came out, Yuan Li quickly remembered that the person Song Liubai brought into the sect a few months ago was called Xiao Cha, right?
Yan Meiqian avoided his gaze and lowered her head, not daring to look up. His mind was in a tangle of thoughts.
Just at this moment.
Bai Li saw it out of the corner of his eye and had an idea of Yan Meiqian's performance.
Yan Meiqian seldom speaks and often looks very serious, which is quite unpleasant.
But after all, he was Bai Li's own disciple, and he knew him as well as himself. Even from the slightest change in his expression, he could guess the other person's guilty conscience.
"Yan Meiqian, have there been any new disciples in the past few months?"
Bai Li crossed his fingers and placed them in front of his knees, his dark eyes gradually darkening. Although his words were asked in a light-hearted manner, at this moment they were like a sharp knife, piercing Yan Meiqian's heart.
In the hall, everyone's eyes turned to the silent Yan Meiqian.
Hengyuan Sect...strange atmosphere.
Hu Qianji watched all this secretly and noticed the gradually heavy atmosphere in the air. This reminded him of the first time he ran into Xiao Cha in the inn, and every move of the other party kept replaying in his mind.
The Hengyuan Sect had strict rules. Except when concealing their identities when necessary, disciples had to wear the ugly uniforms at ordinary times. Of course, direct disciples had elders behind them, so no one cared about these things, let alone complained.
"I was careless... I ignored..."
Hu Qianji seemed to have discovered something interesting. A hint of cunning flashed in his slightly narrowed dark green fox eyes.
That day.
He wasn't wearing disciple's clothes either.
Hu Qianji, who saw this scene, almost subconsciously thought that Xiao Cha was a new disciple of some elder, but did not make it public.
Looking back today, his status may not be that valuable.
In that case, why should I worry about not being able to control him?
…
Facing Bai Li's question, Yan Meiqian suppressed the tension and panic in her heart, and her hands were wet with sweat that she might not even notice.
Yan Meiqian was about to shake her head, "No..."
Bai Li glared and said in a cold tone, "Think it over first."
Yuan Li looked around at the master and disciple, thinking about how to persuade them.
He would not abandon Yan Meiqian, whom he had taken care of since he was a child, for a young man he had never met.
So Yuan Li quickly stepped forward to speak for Yan Meiqian, saying, "There is indeed one, but that young man has done a favor to Junior-Junior Song."
Bai Li's gaze remained fixed on Yan Meiqian, a mixture of disappointment and annoyance. "Where's that person?"
Yuan Li thought about it for a while, then replied, "I was given a small job in the library."
At the side, the Third Elder, who had been silent for a long time, turned to the disciples outside the hall and ordered, "Bring him here."
It seems that this matter has come to an end.
"It's lively, lively, I'm really enjoying watching this foreplay."
"Since the person has been found."
Nangong Ye leaned back in his chair and watched the excitement for a long time, then stretched himself. He then walked leisurely to Bai Li, patted Bai Li on the shoulder and said, "I will take the person back to Liuli Sect later. I hope Elder Bai will allow it."
"Since I'm here for the Immortal Gate Banquet anyway, I won't get involved in the trivial matters that follow."
"How about giving Hengyuan Sect some peace and quiet?"
Bai Li wiped away the marks left by the slap on his shoulder, turned his eyes to the side meaningfully, and said, "That person has nothing to do with the Hengyuan Sect."
"However, he also received a favor from the Hengyuan Sect."
"No matter what, there is a connection between the two sects."
In these words, Bai Li made it clear that if Xiao Cha did anything to offend Liuli Sect in the future, it would have nothing to do with Hengyuan Sect.
However, the few months that Xiao Cha stayed in Hengyuan Sect was also a favor given by Hengyuan Sect, a favor that Xiao Cha could not repay. Since Liuli wanted to take him away, he had to repay it.
Bai Li seemed to completely disregard the fact that Xiao Cha had done favors for the people in the sect.
"Oh, from Elder Bai's tone, it seems he has already made plans for the future of the two sects?"
Nangong Ye didn't like Bai Li's threatening tone, and there was a hint of disgust in his words.
"nature."
Bai Li turned his head and looked at Nangong Ye, a hint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
Nangong Ye pretended to be interested and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."
In the corner, Hu Qianji watched the two old foxes scheming against each other. Even though he felt a little bored, he quietly put his hands in his pockets and looked at the door, waiting for that person to appear.
Ever since they parted at the Qinggumen Inn, Hu Qianji had been having dreams frequently, and every dream was about what he did in bed with that person. The first time, Hu Qianji thought he had met a master of poisonous insects, but even after circulating his spiritual energy three times, he still couldn't find anything strange about it.
The second time, Hu Qianji found that his emotions also fluctuated with the other person.
And this is why Hu Qianji is determined to get the person.
Suddenly.
The disciple who had just left and returned hurried back.
“Elder—”
The disciple bowed to everyone, then he approached the Third Elder and whispered softly.
"Young Master Xiao is not in the library. Instead, he is with Senior Brother Shangguan Qing and Senior Brother Song. Also, Senior Brother Song said something."
"If an elder is disrespectful, he may fall from his position."
The Third Elder's face changed, and his movement of stroking his beard froze, as if he was about to pass out from anger.
The Third Elder angrily said, "This is simply nonsense! Song Liubai has truly been spoiled by the Sect Master. Does he really think I can't take care of him?"
And at this time.
"Seniors, Song is late."
Song Liubai walked into the side hall, followed slowly by Xiao Cha.
"Swish!" A white light flashed.
The iron sword pressed tightly against Xiao Cha's body, reminding everyone that all desires and 'wishes' were empty.
Song Liubai blocked the light at the door. He raised his head, eyebrows slightly raised, and looked at everyone with an unruly gaze.
Then he slowly said, "Young Master Xiao is a guest of the Hengyuan Sect, not someone who can be thrown away casually."
Song Liubai stopped talking and pointed at Bai Li.
Everyone was shocked. Was Song Liubai crazy? How dare he behave so disrespectfully towards Bai Li?
Song Liubai didn't care. He said unkindly, "Elder Bai, do you know?"
Yan Meiqian's eyelids twitched.
As Bai Li's apprentice, Song Liubai was naturally very clear about his temper. Song Liubai's words would definitely anger Bai Li, and he would suffer the consequences.
Yan Meiqian was about to step forward to stop Song Liubai from taking any next action, but he paused.
Just because he and Xiao Cha met eyes.
Xiao Cha looked at Yan Meiqian with a completely blank gaze, as if the farce before him hadn't stirred any emotion in him at all.
For some reason, Yan Meiqian felt a lot of guilt when she looked at those deep and calm eyes.
He had thought a lot just now, but he didn't think of stopping Song Liubai, which was equivalent to sending Xiao Cha into dire straits with his own hands.
In fact, Xiao Cha was distracted because his mind was confused by the plot and he couldn't figure it out at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Yan Meiqian misunderstood.
At this moment, Xiao Cha was upset.
Why did Hu Qianji develop feelings for her? It wasn't like they were strangers who had met twice, nor was it the "brotherly" relationship in the book. Instead, it was love.
Xiao Cha frowned and bit the flesh of his mouth. Other speculations came to his mind.
Could it be that in the original novel, Hu Qianji pushed the original owner off the cliff not because of a sect dispute, but because the original owner was a "straight man"?
...It's ridiculous.
Xiao Cha would rather believe that Hu Qianji's action was for some scheme or benefit that he might not even know about, rather than being about love.
Xiao Cha was thinking about it so much that his brain was smoking. Fortunately, he heard someone else's voice in his mind at this moment.
[Hey, if you keep daydreaming, you'll have to follow these two back to the Liuli Sect.]
Song Liubai spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if helping him this time was just a casual act.
Xiao Cha was helpless: [I am just a mortal, facing the enthusiasm of two immortals, I am powerless~]
[Tsk, are you really completely defenseless?]
Xiao Cha pursed her lips: [Indeed]
【Do not believe】
Xiao Cha: [……]
【Oh, beg me, I will keep you. 】
A gloating male voice came, and Xiao Cha was stunned for three seconds, but he was not angry. After all, the plot would open in Hengyuan Sect three years later, and he had to stay. For the sake of his goal, what was the point of sacrificing his verbal dignity? He didn't care.
But... disgusting is another matter.
Please.
Good Master~
Song Liubai got goose bumps on the back of his neck and cursed in his heart, "Monster".
At this time.
Bai Li reacted and sneered: "As expected of the master's disciple, snort!"
Bai Li's eyes widened in anger at Song Liubai's disrespectful words, but a hypocritical smile still hung on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm afraid the lesson I just gave you wasn't enough," he threatened.
This time, Yuan Li would not choose to stop Bai Li like he did just now, and he also admitted that Song Liubai was wrong in this matter.
After all, compared with the two futures, it can be exchanged for the sacrifice of just one person, which is a deal that can only make money and not lose money.
"It's so noisy..."
Nangong Ye ignored others and walked straight towards Xiao Cha.
His action was so sudden that no one could have expected it.
Xiao Cha faced the newcomer as if he were facing a formidable enemy, but did not take a single step back.
"bass--"
Tie Jian sensed someone approaching and quickly inserted himself between the two of them, with the tip of the sword pointing towards Nangong Ye's neck.
In the corner, Song Liubai's expression remained unchanged. He did not sense any murderous intent towards Xiao Cha from Nangong Ye.
We can only wait and see.
Nangong Ye raised his hand and swept it, and the iron sword was fixed to the side without any force. During these actions, his eyes never gave any mercy to others, and his handsome eyes were staring at Xiao Cha.
"Are you Xiao Cha?"
Xiao Cha didn't say anything, but frowned.
The tone seemed familiar, like the first time Liu Han saw him.
Sure enough, the next second.
Nangong Ye said with a smile on his face: "You don't want to answer? Little guy, do you know that I have a bad temper? If it were someone else, he would have died in my hands a long time ago."
"But... I just saw you on the doorstone."
"I feel like you're a little familiar."
What is he talking about?
Xiao Cha's face showed confusion.
At the same time, Hu Qianji clenched the corner of his clothes, knowing what was going on, and realized that Nangong Ye had ulterior motives towards Xiao Cha.
So similar...
Nangong Ye observed the change in his expression and couldn't help but compare it with the person in his memory.
Nangong Ye chuckled, and in front of everyone, he cupped Xiao Cha's cheek and slowly stroked it with his thumb.
"hehe."
"I wanted to tie you up and take a look at you tonight, but I didn't expect you to show up here on your own."
"It makes me extremely happy!"
