Tianyu lifted the folding fan covering the chair and hurriedly climbed up from the recliner.
"Hey, my good disciple, let me see how you have been doing in the past few years of training."
Sheng He disdainfully pushed away Tian Yu who was about to pounce on him. Tian Yu sighed and shook his fan sadly: "How come you are so unfamiliar with me after being away for a few years? I still like you as a child."
After saying that, Tian Yu looked at Sheng He with satisfaction. The girl in front of him was tall and slender, with a pretty face and bright eyes. Although she was a little dusty due to the long journey, she still couldn't hide her bright eyes.
She is completely different from the timid little girl who begged him to be her disciple a few years ago.
"Jun Fu, Ze Lan, Senior Sister is back, why don't you call her Senior Sister?"
"Greetings, Senior Sister."
The two little girls looked about eleven or twelve years old, one in the middle stage of Qi training and the other in the late stage of Qi training. Upon hearing Tian Yu's words, they immediately bowed to Sheng He in a very formal manner.
These are actually Senior Sisters Jun Fu and Ze Lan?
Sheng He was quite at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. In her previous life, her cultivation was low. Although she was older than Jun Fu and Ze Lan, if she met them in the sect, she would still respectfully call them senior sisters.
Now it's the other way around.
Instead, she became the one being called senior sister.
Sheng He hurriedly helped the two junior sisters up, and gave each of them some spirit stones and magical instruments as a gift, then looked at Tian Yu.
"Master asked me to come back this time, but what happened in the sect?"
Hearing this, Tianyu put away his cynical smile, pulled Sheng He aside and asked in a low voice: "You went to Dragon Island too?"
Sheng He nodded, and Tian Yu's expression suddenly became serious.
"This time, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Before Tianyu finished speaking, several disciples from the Discipline Department came up. They bowed to Tianyu and then looked straight at Shenghe.
"The Sect Master heard that Senior Sister Sheng has returned and has something to ask her, so we specially came to invite Senior Sister Sheng to the Discipline Department."
The disciple's voice sounded familiar, and Sheng He couldn't help but look at him a few more times, only to find that he was an old acquaintance.
Qin Lang.
This was her Taoist partner in her previous life.
In the previous life, he also contributed to forcing Sheng He to death on Xiaoxiang Stage.
But in this life, she was busy practicing and going out to gain experience, and for a while she completely forgot about him.
Sheng He's eyebrows moved slightly. In this life, she would keep a distance from Qin Lang. It would be fine if Qin Lang behaved himself. If he took the initiative to provoke her, don't blame her for settling all the new and old grudges together.
Tianyu thought that his disciple was nervous, so he patted her shoulder gently as if to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, just go and ask questions. I will protect you. Those old guys can't hurt you."
A warm current surged through Sheng He's heart, and he looked up and smiled: "Well, I'm not afraid."
Inside the hall of the Discipline Department, the door was wide open, and almost all the elders of Qingyun Sect were there. There were also many unfamiliar faces sitting on both sides of the hall, also dressed like elders. Shen Ci stood behind one of the unfamiliar elders, staring at Sheng He with his eyes.
Although the Discipline Department is large, being surrounded by these old men with superb cultivation makes people feel inexplicably nervous even though they don't speak or make any extra movements.
Sheng He only took a quick glance inside the hall and had a general idea of the current situation. This was her second time in the palace, so she stood in the hall of the Discipline Department with great familiarity.
"Disciple Sheng He is here to meet with the Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master and the elders. I wonder why the Sect Master has summoned me here?"
The clan leader sat in the middle, his face as cold as ice.
A total of twenty-six people from various sects came this time, all of them came to Qingyun Sect to seek an explanation.
Three months ago, Jiang Xuanli suddenly wrote a letter saying that he had discovered the trace of Dragon Island, and took the opportunity to invite the disciples of these sects to go there together. Those who went this time were the most talented children in the sect, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were the future of these sects.
But unfortunately, only three people came back, two of whom were seriously injured. Shen Ci insisted that it was Sheng He who did it. Originally, he and Zhao Yanran had already boarded the boat safely, but it was Sheng He who kicked them off the boat and colluded with the mermaid, causing them to be seriously injured and almost die in the Eastern Waters.
So many people went there, but only the people from Qingyun Sect came back alive. The other sects were already dissatisfied with Qingyun Sect because of this, and they started to make trouble when they saw this. They broke into Qingyun Sect together as if they had made an appointment, and demanded that they must be given an explanation, otherwise they would not leave.
Now they have been living in Qingyun Sect for three or four days.
The clan leader pursed his lips tightly, and all the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared when he saw the girl standing in the middle of the hall.
He stared at Sheng He for a long time before asking Tian Yu, "Is this really your disciple?"
Tianyu rolled his eyes secretly in his heart: If he is not my apprentice, then is he your apprentice?
But in front of so many sects, he still had to save some face and just nodded slightly.
The sect master immediately stood up and asked excitedly, "You are already in the middle stage of the Golden Core? How old are you this year?"
Sheng He frowned. Although he didn't understand what the Sect Master meant, he still said truthfully: "Sir, I am seventeen this year."
Seventeen years old, in the middle stage of the Golden Core!
Even Chu Heng at the time didn't form a golden elixir until he was twenty-five years old. Xuan Xiao's little disciple was quite talented. He just turned eighteen a few days ago and also formed a golden elixir.
But Sheng He, she has five spiritual roots!
And he is in the middle stage of Jindan!
With such talent and such a speed of cultivation, the sect leader's hands were shaking a little. He stood up, looked at Sheng He and said "Good!" three times in a row.
When people from other sects saw the look on Qingyun Sect's face, they looked at each other and all felt that something was not going well.
Could it be that the sect leader saw that this girl was extremely talented and wanted to protect her?
The Wuji Sect elder coughed lightly and reminded, "Sect Master, it's time to ask about the real business."
The sect leader finally woke up as if from a dream and slowly sat back in his seat. He had originally planned to push Sheng He out to calm the anger of the various sects.
But now it seems that his previous plan is no longer valid.
The sect leader did not say anything, but just used his eyes to signal the deputy sect leader Feng Xingxianzun beside him.
The deputy sect leader immediately understood. He stood up and looked at Sheng He kindly, saying, "Xiao He, did you go to Dragon Island a few days ago? I asked you to come here today mainly to ask about the situation on the island."
"Of the dozens of disciples who went with you, only Yanran, Shen Ci and you are back now. The life lamps of the other disciples were shattered more than a month ago. What happened on the island? Do you know about their deaths?"
"What else is there to ask? I saw all of this with my own eyes. Your Qingyun Sect's own disciples also said so. The truth of the matter is set in stone and cannot be argued with!"
"Brother Feng Xing, does what you said seem to be biased?"
