suspicious
When the three of them arrived at Fengle Town, they saw many unfamiliar monks.
Most of them were Canghai Sect disciples, wearing blue and white Taoist robes. A small number of cultivators from other sects all wore blue and white headbands on their arms.
The three of them arrived at the right time. As soon as they entered the city, they heard a sound that enveloped the entire city.
"Fellow citizens of Fengle Town, I am Han Duanyun, an elder of the Canghai Sect. We have come to Xiaocang Realm and will only stay here for two months. We have no intention of disturbing the people. The Canghai Sect is a prestigious and prestigious sect, so please rest assured. If any of our disciples commit any evil, please report them to the government office. The Canghai Sect will punish them severely."
Two monks stopped the three people.
The officer quickly stepped forward and explained, "Master, these three are from Chenjia Village in Xiaoqingshan. They come here every month. This is their record of coming into the city."
The monk pushed the officer's hand away and said, "We're not investigating their backgrounds. Three of you, every citizen who enters Fengle Town can take a bag of silver as compensation for disturbing you. This is for the three of you."
The old man accepted it with many thanks, but no one touched the two bags handed to him by the monk.
Yu Xiaoye pursed his lips tightly and stared at the monk without saying a word.
Just as he was about to refuse, Ruan Zhaozhao took two bags of silver.
The weight of the silver pulled her small hands downward.
She stuffed the bag into Yu Xiaoye's hand.
The monk nodded, thinking she was cute and adorable, and couldn't help but touch her head before he made way for the three of them.
The old man drove the ox cart to the entrance of an alley. "Xiao Ye, why do you look unhappy?"
"I..." Yu Xiaoye raised his voice and then dropped it, "I shouldn't be angry. You all don't know this rule. After all, I never thought that a big sect like the Canghai Sect would actually visit a remote place like our Xizhou."
He looked down at the silver in his arms and then at Zhao Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, Senior Brother and Sister will definitely not use the silver given by Canghai Sect. Can we give it to Aong?"
Ruan Zhaozhao didn't care. She accepted it purely because her father said, "If you don't accept the money, you are a bastard."
The old man declined, but Yu Xiaoye said they would throw the silver away and never take it back, so he accepted it.
The old man was turned away by his daughter last time, so he decided to go out for a drink with some old friends.
The two of them separated from the old man temporarily and went to the restaurant to eat. Looking around, they saw only Canghai Sect disciples.
Yu Xiaoye subconsciously took a step back.
Ruan Zhaozhao waved to the waiter skillfully, "Are there any seats left?"
The waiter threw the handkerchief back, revealing his white teeth: "Yes! Today, the disciples of Canghai Sect have reserved the first and second floors, and the third floor is empty. But they are all private rooms——"
Yu Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn't have to share a room with the Canghai Sect disciples. He took out some silver from his pocket and said, "A private room is fine."
The two entered the private room. Ruan Zhaozhao opened the window and a sword-riding monk immediately flew past him.
Yu Xiaoye closed the window unhappily.
After they sat down, Ruan Zhaozhao asked, "Brother Xiaoye, why doesn't the Jueqing Sect welcome disciples from the Canghai Sect?"
Yu Xiaoye clenched his fists: "The headmaster said that Canghai Sect is Jueqing Sect's biggest enemy."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "What did they do?"
"I don't know the details. Zhao Zhao, don't mention Canghai Sect in front of the brothers and sisters. I heard Fourth Senior Sister mention a name. She said it was the person she hated the most." Yu Xiaoye lowered his voice. "Do you remember the conversation they heard when we first came here? They mentioned Elder Lu of Canghai Sect, Lu Zhi."
The waiter pushed the door open and came in. A few people walked behind him and took a look inside.
Ruan Zhaozhao's gaze followed one of the boys until he walked out of his sight.
The three words "Xiao Yichen" were clearly floating above the boy's head.
The villain's name is in red, while his name is in gold, with the word "protagonist" always following it.
garish.
“Tsk.”
Yu Xiaoye heard the sound of clicking his tongue and looked at Ruan Zhaozhao.
Her little face was wrinkled, her eyebrows were raised, and one of her fangs was exposed. She looked very unhappy.
It was the first time Yu Xiaoye saw her with such an expression. He followed her gaze and saw the door closed by the waiter. "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Nothing."
The villain is just naturally annoyed when he sees the protagonist.
Xiao Yichen, who was following behind Han Duanyun, suddenly sneezed.
It's a bit cold, for some strange reason.
The ordinary-looking man beside him looked at him, his voice flat and without any inflection, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yichen wiped his nose and said, "It's okay, Master..."
He blurted out something and nearly ruined everything.
Xiao Yichen quickly brushed it off, "...I haven't been out for a long time, I'm not used to it."
"Junior Brother Xiao, you came from a small place like this, so how could you not be used to it? Coming here should be like going home, right?" The Ling family disciple mocked, "Oh no, I was wrong. The place you came from is a hundred times poorer than here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen clenched his back teeth tightly.
Before he could fight back, the Ling family member suddenly screamed and knelt down in front of him.
A voice came from the front. It was the voice of Ling Jiuxiao, the elder of the Canghai Sect. It was stern and ruthless. "Junior Brother Xiao, a disciple of my Ling family behaved inappropriately and was disrespectful in front of others. I have punished him for you. If you think it is not enough, you can let him suffer a Ling family punishment."
The young man didn't take the previous words seriously, but when he heard the "Ling family rules", his face turned pale and he trembled like a sieve.
Xiao Yichen was a little curious. It was just a family rule, so why was this person so afraid?
The person next to him gently bumped Xiao Yichen with his shoulder.
Xiao Yichen came back to his senses and said quickly: "Uncle Ling, I'm not angry, please let him get up."
The young man stood up trembling, and when he heard the shout "Get out", he ran away crawling.
A group of people walked into the private room.
Han Duanyun gave the waiter some silver and asked him to distribute it to the people helping out in the kitchen, as a reward for preparing food for so many Canghai Sect disciples.
After the door was closed, Han Duanyun asked the Gong family elder who came with him this time, "Brother Shouzhuo, doesn't the Gong family plan to send more people into Xiaocang Realm this time?"
Gong Shouzhuo's expression changed and he lowered his head. "That's not the case, Brother Duanyun. The younger generation of the Gong family branch is still on the way."
Han Duanyun smiled and said, "Oh? The Gong family is in Xizhou. Which branch family is it from? How could it be slower than us?"
Gong Shouzhuo secretly cursed Han Duanyun and Jiang Zhenyue, the two old foxes.
Everyone knows that although Han Duanyun's surname is Han, he married a woman from the Jiang family and has long been a member of the Jiang family.
Apparently, the Gong family made a big splash at Lu Zhi's disciple-taking ceremony a month ago, and the Jiang family wanted to teach them a lesson.
At this time, Ling Jiuxiao suddenly spoke up: "Brother Shouzhuo, I heard that some branches of the Gong family are 'very restless'."
Gong Shouzhuo pretended to be dumb, "Brother Jiuxiao, why do you say that? Who spread the rumor that even reached Brother Jiuxiao's ears?"
Ling Jiuxiao sneered, "Gong Shouzhuo, don't forget that the stability of the Three Provinces today is due to the Canghai Sect's belief in defending the righteous path and upholding the principles of heaven. If you can't even control a branch sect that attempts to prove its truth through evil, then as an elder of the Canghai Sect, I think you should step down as soon as possible!"
Gong Shouzhuo was so angry that he blew his beard: "Ling Jiuxiao, don't go too far! You want me to leave? Who do you think can sit in the position of the Canghai Sect Elder?!"
Han Duanyun saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stood up and tried to smooth things over. "We're all family, why fight one another? Brother Shouzhuo, calm down. I know the Gong family is on the same side as us, and we're all for the Canghai Sect. Brother Jiuxiao was just kindly reminding you that there are reasons for this, so just go back and investigate."
Gong Shouzhuo had nothing to say, so he suppressed his anger and sat down.
Ling Jiuxiao: "Brother Duanyun, when will the entrance open?"
Han Duanyun: "Junior Brother Lu said that the entrance to Xiaocang Realm is not very stable this time. It may open or close at any time. Let's stay in the city first. Anyway, we will definitely see the entrance within a month."
Suddenly, Ling Jiuxiao raised his sleeves and blasted open the tightly closed door of the private room.
When the罡气 was about to blow a small figure away, Ling Jiuxiao frowned and retracted his brows instantly.
The remaining air was like a gust of wind, lifting up Ruan Zhaozhao's fine bangs.
"Zhao Zhao!" Yu Xiaoye was startled and pulled her behind him.
Everyone thought they were eavesdropping thieves, but they turned out to be just two children.
One of the delicate and pretty girls was nearly injured by the罡气, but she just touched her forehead with a calm expression.
"They are just two little kids..." Gong Shouzhuo narrowed his eyes and looked at them. "They haven't even attained enlightenment yet. Kids, where are you from?"
Yu Xiaoye looked at them warily.
Ruan Zhaozhao didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen thought her eyes were particularly beautiful, like shining gems in a deep cave in a mountain stream, and he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
At this moment, he could never have imagined that this little girl would actually push him to the ground and rub him...
Han Duanyun: "Brother Shouzhuo, you are too fierce."
After that, he smiled kindly and asked in a gentle tone, "Kids, where are you from? Why are there only two of you?"
Yu Xiaoye's palm was covered in sweat as he held Ruan Zhaozhao's hand.
"We're from Chenjia Village, and we came to town to play with Grandpa. This is my sister. We come to town every month to buy things, and occasionally we come to the restaurant for a good meal. Today, when we entered the city, two monks gave us each a bag of silver, so we came to the restaurant to eat."
He spoke slowly, considering his words carefully as he spoke.
Han Duanyun suddenly realized and immediately called the waiter to ask him about it.
The waiter confirmed that the two of them did come here about once a month, and he had indeed seen them leaving the city with an old man on an ox cart.
Han Duanyun asked him to show the silver given by the two.
Han Duanyun flipped the silver and his eyes lingered briefly at the bottom of the silver. "Child, the silver of Canghai Sect is engraved with Canghai Sect's patterns. This is not given by us."
He narrowed his eyes, murderous intent surging in them, "What is your purpose?"
The temperature in the room dropped suddenly.
Yu Xiaoye felt dry mouth and tongue. His brain was spinning like smoke at this moment as he lived in a very simple environment.
Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. "I can't carry so much silver. It must be with grandpa. How could I carry it with me? The money given to Xiao Er brother is grandpa's money."
Han Duanyun was stunned.
He blamed himself for his negligence and seemed particularly suspicious. He returned the silver to the waiter and took out a bag of silver from his pocket. "I'm sorry, uncle has wronged you. This silver is for you as an apology."
Ruan Zhaozhao simply refused, "No, I can't lift it."
Her words made several adults laugh.
"However, I don't like what you said, uncle. I decided to take this money and give it to grandpa."
Ruan Zhaozhao walked forward, picked up the money bag from Han Duanyun's hand, and put it in his arms. "Even if we don't use your money, grandpa still has money for us to eat. Uncle, don't wrongly accuse others next time when you see silver without your mark. It's not nice."
After saying that, he turned around and bumped the stiff Yu Xiaoye with his shoulder.
She lifted the purse in her arms and said, "Brother, help me carry it."
Yu Xiaoye came to his senses and quickly took the purse.
"I don't want to eat here anymore." Ruan Zhaozhao crossed his arms and glanced at the people at the table with dissatisfaction. "Brother, let's take the food back and eat with Grandpa."
Yu Xiaoye nodded, "Okay."
When the waiter came in to help them wrap their food, he looked at Han Duanyun hesitantly.
Han Duanyun gave him a look, indicating that he should do as he was told.
Yu Xiaoye put the silver bag in his arms and held the food box in both hands.
Ruan Zhaozhao commanded, "Go."
It was not until he left the restaurant that Yu Xiaoye felt the sweat on his back fall off.
He was surprised at Ruan Zhaozhao's calmness, "Zhaozhao, you..."
Ruan Zhaozhao pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go find grandpa first. I didn't get to eat this meal and I'm starving."
In the private room on the third floor, the Gong family member returned to his seat after confirming that the two had gone far away. "They are just two ordinary children."
"Oh, if it were you just now, you would have been scared out of your wits. It's a pity that you didn't feel that he was a good seedling, otherwise you would have brought him back to Canghai Sect and maybe you could have cultivated another genius." Gong Shouzhuo said while glancing at Xiao Yichen intentionally.
Xiao Yichen: "Maybe she is just a little stupid."
Soon, this little episode was forgotten by everyone.
Xiaocang Realm is full of dangers, and the three families have prepared a wealth of life-saving methods for the children who enter. However, there is no such thing as too much spiritual materials from heaven and earth, so they soon talked about looking for spiritual materials in this land.
In areas where there are sects, it is assumed that the spiritual materials belong to this sect.
Therefore, following Gong Shouzhuo's orders, the Gong family members immediately went to investigate:
"I heard that there is a small green mountain about 500 miles away from Fengle Town. There is a sect on the mountain called the Jueqing Sect."
