Chapter 252: The Seventh Master
The sky was slightly bright, but the wind and snow were still blowing.
In the cold wind, a young man in brocade clothes and mink furs led a servant to Yunji Mountain in the snow. The servant was holding an unconscious person in his hand, tied up.
The road to immortality is high and far. Ordinary mortals cannot even find the Yunji Sect once they enter the mountains.
But this young man was obviously not an ordinary person. He saw through illusions and saw the entrance to the Yunji Sect in the misty clouds. In the deepest part of the mountains, the top of the main peak shrouded in clouds and mist could be vaguely seen. That was where Qiu Wuji was.
There was a hint of eagerness in the young master's eyes.
If I could get closer to Qiu Wuji...
That should be the dream of all the men in this world, except for idiots like Yan Qianlie who have no interest in women at all.
This operation was just an attempt. He himself did not think that he would be able to meet Qiu Wuji by this. Anyway, it might as well be a try. It would be best if he could see him. If he could not, at least it would leave a "good fate". At least Qiu Wuji would hear about it and find an opportunity to proceed step by step in the future.
For this, he behaved so cautiously and respectfully this time that he didn't even fly, but walked slowly all the way up the mountain, which showed his humility and sincerity.
Just as I was thinking this, the snow-covered mountain road in front of me suddenly appeared with brilliant colors.
A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a neat and capable sword suit, stood on the edge of a cliff with her hands behind her back.
Clearly she was not wearing any brightly coloured clothes or hairpins, but as long as she stood there, with her black hair, red lips and slightly moist cheeks, the snow became bright because of her, the dark clouds were dyed with colour, and the world became bright.
But such a beautiful sight, I could only take a glance and then lower my eyes, not daring to look any further. I just looked at it from afar, as if I was looking at a sword unsheathed, a cloud in the sky, or the river in the distance, connecting the sky and the blue sky.
She is nature, and yet she transcends nature.
“Qiu Wuji has indeed reached the heavenly realm.” Such a thought flashed through the young master’s mind.
Yes, this must be the endless autumn. Only she can capture the beauty of the entire country. The mountains and rivers are covered in silver for thousands of miles, but they are not as beautiful as her red lips.
Only she could be so proud and brave the snow and cold, with her sword soaring into the sky, looking down from above, making people dare not look directly at her.
If Chu Ge knew what he was thinking, he would probably be scratching his head. What the hell is this idiot thinking? Qiuqiu is so cute, is it really that exaggerated...
"I am Lu Shaotong, a junior student. I am honored to meet Sect Master Qiu." The young man stepped forward quickly and bowed deeply to the ground: "I didn't expect to see Sect Master Qiu's true face. How lucky I am!"
He deliberately did not use the term "junior generation" but "distinguished junior", as if it could dilute the generational difference.
After all, he was only a hundred years old, and the peerless beauty in front of him was ten thousand years old...
“Lu Shaotong…” Qiu Wuji withdrew his gaze from the snowflakes on the edge of the cliff and fell on him. He said calmly, “It is rumored that the genius Qi Jue Gong who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of a hundred is you?”
Lu Shaotong was delighted and deliberately had the news spread here, and sure enough, Qiu Wuji heard about it.
He hurriedly cupped his hands: "Who dares to call me a genius in front of Sect Master Qiu?"
Qiu Wuji nodded slightly: "The fact that there are heroes like you among the younger generation shows how prosperous the immortal path is in the world... Whose younger generation are you? By the way, who is that little kid Lu Bingzhang to you?"
Lu Shaotong looked slightly embarrassed: "Yes... it's my great-grandfather."
"Pfft..." Chu Ge couldn't hold back his laughter and quickly turned his head away.
Lu Shaotong didn't see Chu Ge until this moment. He really didn't see anyone else just now... He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Who is..."
Qiu Wuji said calmly: "My apprentice."
Lu Shaotong said hurriedly: "I have heard that he is also a peerless genius."
Qiu Wuji said: "You can call him Grand Master Uncle."
Chu Ge puffed out his chest, and Lu Shaotong's face began to turn red.
Qiu Wuji suppressed his laughter, his eyes fell on the person held by the servant behind Lu Shaotong, and he said calmly: "What does this mean?"
Lu Shaotong quickly signaled the servants to put the man down, explaining: "This man is your sect's external affairs steward. The day before yesterday, I saw him torturing miners and forcing women, so I arrested him in a fit of rage. I thought this was Sect Master Qiu's family affair, so I dared not take the initiative, so I came here to apologize..."
Qiu Wuji nodded: "I have heard of similar things. This time I went down the mountain to investigate secretly and see who has ruined the reputation of our sect."
Lu Shaotong was delighted. This was exactly what he had expected. The next sentence should be a simple thank you, and then a polite invitation to sit down and have a cup of tea or something...
But Qiu Wuji changed the subject: "So you are the one who ruined our sect's reputation?"
"Huh?" Lu Shaotong's eyes widened.
"The mountains are secluded, and the snow and wind block the roads, making transportation inconvenient. Normally, news cannot reach neighboring villages for ten days or half a month. Now, the matter of a mere mine has been spread to the surrounding areas, so much so that the elders of the sect who live in seclusion have heard about it and spread it to the sect. If there is no one who is secretly pushing this, do you think I am a fool?"
“This…” Lu Shaotong didn’t expect that he didn’t win favor, but instead gained suspicion. He could only say, “I don’t know anything about rumors. I just happened to see this person doing evil, and I acted out of righteous indignation.”
"So the rumors have nothing to do with you?"
"It's irrelevant. I don't know anything about it..."
Qiu Wuji stared coldly into his eyes, and Lu Shaotong met his gaze calmly without showing any fear.
Qiu Wuji also began to feel a little surprised.
This person is a bit strange...
With such a huge difference in level, his pressure had no effect on him. He even secretly used some soul magic, but it disappeared without a trace, and the other party didn't even have a heartbeat fluctuation.
On the contrary, I felt more and more that the other party was sincere, as if my subconscious was telling me that the other party was a very trustworthy person.
If I hadn't heard him talking to his subordinates in advance, I would have been fooled by him. Not to mention whether it would increase his favorability, at least I could have maintained a good relationship with him.
Of course I don't think that now, but I am extremely alert. This situation is too weird and abnormal.
It even deviates from the "Way of Heaven".
Yuanying vs. Dujie, such a huge level difference! Can he ignore my soul pressure and have the opposite effect on me?
What are you doing, stinky god?
But Chu Ge spoke up: "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. We have to rectify the chaos below and clean up the cancer in the sect. That is our own business. How can outsiders interfere? Do you think we are incompetent? Or do you think we will cover up?"
Lu Shaotong cursed this bastard in his heart. You are here to argue, right? According to you, others should not do chivalrous deeds. Do you still need to send a letter to inform them first? Are you working for the imperial court?
"You have challenged the dignity of our Yunji Sect." Chu Ge said with a straight face: "Do you want to leave something behind?"
Lu Shaotong was not as good-tempered to Chu Ge as he was to Qiu Wuji, and his smile turned cold: "This... Grand Master, do you still want to punish me?"
"That's right. It's not someone else's turn to teach our sect a lesson." Chu Ge said the classic line that raised people's blood pressure, and slowly drew out the Lonely Sword: "I also want to see what methods the master who can easily capture our sect's external affairs deacon has."
Lu Shaotong looked at Qiu Wuji and asked, "Is this what Sect Master Qiu meant?"
Qiu Wuji said lazily: "If I bully you, it would be too ugly to be bullied by the strong. Let my apprentice fight with you for a few moves, that's good."
The young couple had a mutual understanding. It was not a question of whether Qiu Wuji bullied others or not, but they both wanted to see what strange tricks he had.
The other party's spirit is strange, searching his soul may not be useful, and killing him directly will only cut off the clues. So it would be best to let Chu Ge give it a try.
Nothing can escape the law of heaven.
How did he get here? Was he helping him? Qiu Wuji was scratching his head.
Forget it, it’s just a husband-and-wife workshop, who cares who helps whom?
Lu Shaotong laughed in anger: "I didn't expect that Sect Master Qiu would be so protective and unreasonable. I really admire him..."
"I don't need your admiration." Qiu Wuji interrupted directly: "What I want is reverence."
Where did the villain's lines come from?
Lu Shaotong always felt that entering the mountains today was like falling into a dream. Shouldn’t this be the endless autumn?
Chu Ge stood with a sword in hand, grinning: "Little nephew, draw your sword."
