"Yes, Sect Master, I'll go right away." Zhao Guanchao's eyebrows curved into smiles, and he walked away with a brisk pace.
Ji Fengming tilted his head and waited until Zhao Guanchao was far away before turning back and saying with great surprise, "These people from the Hanyu Sect all look like popsicles, but I didn't expect that there would be elders like the First Elder and the Fifth Elder, ordinary people burdened by power."
"More than four thousand years ago, a major upheaval also occurred on the Danling Continent. At that time, the four major sects and eight great families on the Danling Continent were all swept up in this upheaval and underwent a major reshuffle. In order to protect the sect, the Hanyu Sect also suffered heavy losses. Many ancestors perished in that upheaval. The Grand Elder was also damaged in that upheaval, and the possibility of him safely passing the Ascension Tribulation was extremely slim. Perhaps it is because of this that he is even more greedy for power," Hei Xiao said with a touch of emotion.
"So, he's a meritorious official of the Hanyu Sect. No wonder he was able to become the Grand Elder," Ji Fengming nodded, completely unaware that Ling Du wanted to harm him as well.
Hei Xiao glanced at Ji Fengming gently, then filled his cup with spiritual tea and added a drop of spiritual liquid to it.
Seeing his actions, Ji Fengming frowned and said, "I already said there's no need to replenish it, and you're wasting it again."
Black Owl raised an eyebrow: "Should I have someone clean your house?"
Ji Fengming's clear phoenix eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled broadly, holding the cup of tea as if it were a precious treasure: "No, thank you. I didn't bring any extra furniture. It's quite cold here in your Hanyu Sect. You really need to eat more to withstand the cold."
Black Owl's lips curled slightly, his narrow peach blossom eyes lowered gently, and his eyes and brows were full of gentle smiles.
He then placed several servings of tea snacks that Ji Fengming liked in front of him.
Ji Fengming smugly gathered all these things in front of him and asked in a lazy voice, "Since this Grand Elder is a great contributor to your Hanyu Sect, and now that he has such thoughts, what do you plan to do?"
"That depends on his intentions. If his heart is still with the Hanyu Sect and he doesn't do anything to harm it, then it's fine to give him the position of sect leader after this is over," Hei Xiao said to Ji Fengming without hiding his intentions.
"This is great, this is great! When the time comes, we can travel the world together and explore everywhere. It will be much more enjoyable than staying in this godforsaken place!" Ji Fengming clapped his hands and cheered.
The two drank tea and chatted idly while waiting for Huizheng and Wang Ye to bring Zhou Zhengqiao back.
Meanwhile, Jun Luoying had already entered the Southern Region with the Jun family and temporarily settled down to rest in Wuyong City, the main city of the Zhou family.
Jun Qiancheng rarely travels far from home, so he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to connect with the various tribes.
Although it is common knowledge that the Zhou family has always been on good terms with the Dongdan family, Jun Qiancheng is, after all, the head of the Jun family. He is confident that as long as he personally visits to show goodwill, the Zhou family's scales may well tip in his favor.
Just as Jun Qiancheng had thought.
Just as the Jun family's group settled down in Wuyong City, Zhou Zhaonan, the head of the Zhou family, personally sent someone to invite Jun Qiancheng to his residence for a short chat.
Jun Luoying was originally going to go along as well, but while she was tidying up her room, she heard a man's telepathic message: "If you want to know about Ling Qing, come alone to Pear Blossom Ferry, which is one mile outside the city."
"No need for such tricks, this fairy already knows where Ling Qing is." Jun Luoying ignored her and got up to leave.
