Chapter 229 - Unity
He pointed at Tie Niu and Xiao Lu behind him, then glanced at Chu Linyuan on the eaves: "Look at these guys, which one of them is afraid of trouble? It's fun for you to go into the dragon's pool and tiger's cave alone, and it makes you look very powerful. But have you ever thought about this? If something happens to you, will this stupid ox go crazy and seek revenge for you and even get himself into trouble? Will Xiao Lu cry every day? As the logistics director, I have to find a new poison master, how troublesome is that? And my senior brother..."
Xie Zhao paused and looked at Chu Linyuan.
Chu Linyuan slowly descended from the eaves and walked in front of Luo Hongyi. His voice was still cold, but it carried an unquestionable power: "Guixu Sect is not afraid of any grudges."
He glanced at Luo Hongyi's clenched hands and said, "Your grudges are the sect's business."
Just a few words, but weighing more than a thousand pounds.
Luo Hongyi looked at the faces in front of her, some of which were anxious, some worried, some determined, and some supportive, and listened to their words that might be clumsy, straightforward, or simple but full of sincerity. Her tense and cold defenses finally collapsed completely.
She suddenly turned her face away, her shoulders trembling slightly, and when she turned back, her eyes were slightly red, but her eyes were no longer as resolute as a lone wolf, but held a complex light, mixed with emotion, relief and greater determination.
She took a deep breath, her voice still with a hint of her usual coldness, but softened a lot: "...a bunch of troublesome guys..."
She didn't agree directly, but her attitude said it all.
Tie Niu suddenly opened his mouth wide, grinned foolishly, and scratched his head: "No trouble! No trouble!"
Little White Deer also burst into laughter and happily hugged Rabbit.
Xie Zhao's lips curled up, knowing that the matter was done.
Chu Linyuan nodded slightly, turned and left, leaving space for them.
Luo Hongyi looked at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Tie Niu's silly grin. She snorted unhappily and threw a small jade bottle over to him: "Stupid Niu, eat this. It can cure the netherworld bee venom. The bump on your face is so ugly."
Tie Niu caught it in a hurry and smiled even more brightly.
Just as Xie Zhao and others successfully intercepted Luo Hongyi and the atmosphere changed from tense to a heavy but firm unity, a cheerful sound of breaking through the air was heard in the sky.
Su Tang was seen happily landing in the square, piloting a small and exquisite pink shuttle decorated with various cute runes.
"Guys! I'm back! Check out my new Ambilight Supreme Edition photo stone! It's super clear and has a beauty feature..."
She jumped off the shuttle holding a glittering box, and before she could finish her words, she keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the square was not right.
Tie Niu's eyes were red but he was grinning foolishly. Although Senior Sister Luo still had a cold face, her eye circles seemed a little red?
Bai Xiaolu held Bunny in his arms, a look of relief on his face. Senior Brother Xie Zhao stroked his chin, looking like he had a plan figured out. Even Senior Brother Chu, who was unusually not in seclusion, stood not far away...
"Uh...did I miss something?" Su Tang blinked her clairvoyant eyes and came closer curiously. "Did you secretly hold a team building without my knowledge?"
Xie Zhao flicked her forehead in amusement. "What team building? It was our Junior Sister Luo who almost went to clear the final dungeon alone. Luckily, we cleverly stopped her."
Upon hearing this, Su Tang's eyes widened and she looked at Luo Hongyi, "Senior Sister Luo! What are you going to do? How can you have a fight without calling me? My photo stone is just short of exciting material!" She then reacted and lowered her voice, "Is it related to those bastards who are causing trouble for you?"
Luo Hongyi looked at Su Tang, who was filled with righteous indignation and eager to try. The remaining depression in her heart also dissipated a lot. She snorted unhappily, "Your material is indispensable."
At this time, Uncle Chen walked by, hunched over, slowly sweeping the floor. His hoarse voice drifted over: "Are you going to fight? That's good... stretch your muscles..."
Everyone: “…”
Even the corners of Chu Linyuan's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
With this little incident, the atmosphere completely calmed down. Xie Zhao clapped his hands, "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's discuss how to help Junior Sister Luo settle the old grudge, and by the way... settle the score with Prince Jing who's always been giving us trouble!"
With a clear goal, the powerful machine of Guixu Sect immediately began to operate efficiently.
The core members gathered in the meeting hall next to the main hall.
Chu Linyuan sat in the main seat with an expressionless face, but everyone knew that he was the final decision maker and the strongest backing.
Xie Zhao was in charge of coordination and planning. He spread out a huge piece of animal skin paper and wrote and drew on it with the Jinghong Fu pen.
"First, intelligence. Junior Sister Luo, tell us as much as you can about your mother, Prince Jing, and the people in the harem."
Luo Hongyi didn't hold back this time, slowly revealing the information she'd learned from the jade slips, along with some of her own speculations. With each sentence, Tie Niu's fists tightened, and his breathing became as heavy as a bellows.
Su Tang, holding the new photo stone, gnashed her teeth as she recorded, "How abominable! Are all palace fights this cruel? They must be exposed!"
Bai Xiaolu's face turned pale when she heard this and she hugged Tutu tightly. Yun Zhi patted her shoulder gently and a hint of coldness flashed in her cold eyes.
"Secondly, strength." Xie Zhao paused. "The other party is entrenched in the center of the dynasty, their power is deeply rooted, and they must have many experts. We can't act recklessly. Senior Brother," he looked at Chu Linyuan, "is there any method or combined attack technique in that ancient inheritance that can improve everyone's strength in a short period of time?"
Chu Linyuan nodded slightly: "Yes. A battle formation can gather the strength of everyone."
"Great!" Xie Zhao's eyes lit up. "Tie Niu, Junior Sister Luo, and all the inner and outer disciples above the foundation building stage, from now on, under the personal guidance of Senior Brother, you will begin practicing battle formations!"
"Yes!" Tie Niu replied in a deep voice, full of fighting spirit. Luo Hongyi also nodded coldly.
"Third, resources. Junior Sister Luo, if you need any special poisons or elixirs, you can use the materials in the warehouse. Prepare them as soon as possible. Su Tang, use your live broadcast room and Star Guidance to collect as much information as possible about the Dayan Dynasty royal family, Prince Jing's Mansion, and related sects, especially their negative information!"
"Leave it to me!" Su Tang patted her chest and promised.
"Xiaolu, you and Fairy Yunzhi will be responsible for coordinating the daily affairs and internal affairs of the sect, ensuring stability in the rear, especially the small town at the foot of the mountain. There must be no chaos."
"Yes! Senior Brother Chu, thank you for your peace of mind!" Bai Xiaolu nodded seriously. Yun Zhi also said, "I will assist Sister Xiaolu and can also help with the formation."
