"You little brat, you haven't even grown all your teeth yet, and you dare to spout such threats here! Let's see how this elder teaches you a lesson today! To put an end to your arrogance!" The Fourth Elder looked down at Yi Zhuo from the sky, completely disregarding the girl in front of him.
To everyone's surprise, the two fought back and forth, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to say.
"Alright, old man, I'm not playing this game with you anymore. By the way, let me tell you, all these abilities of mine were given to me by the senior sister of the sect. Envious, aren't you? You and Song Xin are just beggars living under someone else's roof. It's better to be more discreet. You and I are on the same path, why kill each other?" Yi Zhuo parried another attack from the Fourth Elder, landed steadily on the ground, stroked the sword in his hand, and wore a smug look on his face.
Her words, however, left everyone puzzled. The Fourth Elder watched her departing figure, a look of confusion on his face. He pursed his lips, his expression serious.
The disciples standing to the side, heads tucked in, dared not step forward to speak, fearing that the Fourth Elder's sword would be pointed at them at any moment.
When the Fourth Elder returned, everyone was still in the same room, but compared to before he left, everyone was more silent when he came back.
When the Fifth Elder saw the Fourth Elder return, he asked with concern, "How did it go? Did you resolve it? Judging from your face, you clearly didn't manage to kill her. You're such a young girl, and you couldn't even handle something this simple. You're really getting old!"
The Fifth Elder was known for his infuriatingly infuriating nature, and he had always disliked the Fourth Elder, so he spoke even more recklessly. The Fourth Elder was already furious sitting in his seat, and now just seeing the Fifth Elder made him even angrier.
"Zisangyi, I have something to ask you." The Fourth Elder's voice was deep, and his gaze was fixed on Zisangyi.
Those around him looked at him, puzzled, when they heard him address Zisangyi by her full name. "Ask away."
Zisangyi was still thinking about Xu Yuehuai while sitting in her seat, and her words were very perfunctory.
"Is Song Xin's death related to Xu Yuehuai?" These words silenced the entire room. Everyone exchanged glances, and even the Fifth Elder couldn't help but speak up, "No, Fourth Brother, did you go out on business and come back with your brain malfunctioned? How could this possibly be related to Yuehuai?!"
"Hasn't this matter already been confirmed? It was that person named Yi Zhuo who did it. Isn't that enough to prove anything?" The Fifth Elder had a fiery temper, and when he heard the Fourth Elder say this, he wanted to go up and beat him up to vent his anger.
The Fourth Elder stood up, pointed at Zi Sangyi, and said, "Yi Zhuo's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. I went there but didn't get any benefit. She herself said that all of this was instigated by Xu Yuehuai! Everyone knows how capable Xu Yuehuai is!"
"Are you sick? They have no relationship whatsoever! How could they possibly be involved!" The Fifth Elder admired Xu Yuehua the most and couldn't stand others talking about her.
Seeing the tension between the two, Zisangyi stepped forward, "This matter absolutely cannot be related to Yueya, I guarantee it! She wouldn't do such a thing. Don't let a few words from someone sway you into thinking you're all brainless, okay?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but Yi Zhuo came from the third floor, and Xu Yuehuai also came from the third floor. Who knows if the two of them had any connection before? Now you say there was no connection, but who will give Song Xin justice!" The Fourth Elder's face was filled with obvious anger, as if he wanted to overturn the whole room.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This matter was truly outside their area of knowledge, so it was understandable that they were unaware of it at the time.
Even Zi Sangyi was taken aback. The Fourth Elder smiled at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, "It seems that none of you know about this matter. Then I will explain it to you."
“Yi Zhuo also came from the third floor. I don’t know exactly how she got here. Song Xin was short of someone, so she filled the vacancy. She entered the sect through my Song family. She and Xu Yuehuai knew each other back in the third floor…”
...
"You must eat more. Look how thin you've become lately. It seems this kid hasn't been taking good care of you." Old Master Sheng kept piling food into Xu Yuehuai's bowl, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction with Qi Guze.
Xu Yuehuai explained, "I was sick a few days ago and fainted. After I woke up, I had to do some exercise to restore my body's functions, so I ate a lot and exercised a lot, which is why I look thinner."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Sheng snorted and said nothing.
Quan Cang watched the scene unfold, which resembled a battlefield, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. He sat awkwardly to the side, occasionally taking a bite of food.
"Oh, by the way, Elder Sheng, thank you for taking care of me all this way. I've finished what I needed to do in Cangwu City, and I should be heading back to Xuancheng today." Xu Yuehuai looked at Elder Sheng with gratitude in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Sheng paused, his hand holding the chopsticks paused. "No, you've only been here a short time. You can play a little longer after you finish your business. There's no rush."
“I’ve been away from the sect for three or four months. Master must be worried. And all those junior brothers and sisters are waiting for me to come back. I also need to give an explanation to the outside world.” Xu Yuehuai’s tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his face was calm and composed.
Grandpa Sheng put down his chopsticks, a helpless look on his face. "I know about this matter. I'll have Old Shen arrange a spirit boat for you to leave later."
"No need, we have our own preparations," Xu Yuehuai refused, taking out something and placing it on the table. "Inside are some pills that I usually refine. I can tell you don't lack anything. I don't have many good things on me either, so I thought I'd give you some pills and talismans."
Grandpa Sheng looked at the spatial ring on the table, smiled, picked it up and examined it, and said with a hint of regret in his eyes, "Do you plan to come to Cangwu City again in the future? The scenery here is quite nice. If you come, remember to let me know, and I will definitely treat you well."
"I just don't know how much longer these old bones of mine can live." Old Master Sheng sighed, putting the things Xu Yuehuai had given him back on the table, his eyes full of regret.
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly and said, "There will definitely be opportunities to meet again in the future. Elder Sheng is in good health. Besides, with the support of spiritual power, he can live for another hundred or two hundred years without any problem."
"Haha, come on, since you're leaving anyway, how about having a drink with this old man?" Old Master Sheng swept away his previous gloom and picked up the wine glass that was placed to the side, holding it in front of the two of them.
