This Venerable One Really Didn’t Abandon My Familiar - Chapter 9

    Three hours later.

    The sky is clear and clear today. The sun shines in the mountains and fields, and the red maples in the mountains are like fire, endless. A boundary monument was erected beside the mountain road that entered the mountain, with two large characters written on it.

    —”Yaoshan”.

    Two beams of sword light landed next to the boundary monument.

    “You don’t have to do this if you want to try my cultivation, right?” Feng Ci just walked out of the sword light and said this sentence.

    The dignified city lord of Langfeng City not only threw the benefactor who had just rescued him off the sword, but also flew non-stop for three hours in a row, the faster he got to the back.

    If it weren’t for the word, others wouldn’t be able to keep up with him.

    Pei Qianyue ignored him and walked straight forward.

    After getting along overnight, Feng Ci was accustomed to pretending to be dumb when he had nothing to do, so he walked over and looked at the boundary monument for himself: “Yaoshan…a very familiar name, isn’t it? Where have you heard it?”

    Pei Qianyue: “Yaoshan Qingjingzong, one of the six sects.”

    The words of wind come to mind.

    He did hear Meng Changqing mention it.

    The Qingjing School majored in rhythm, especially in piano skills.

    Unlike other sects, although Qingjingzong also recruits external disciples, the position of suzerain is passed down from generation to generation. The current suzerain of Qingjingzong married the daughter of the previous suzerain and entered the Wen family.

    However, the most famous thing about Qingjingzong is not these gossips, but that they are among the immortal alliances, the faction that has the most contacts with the powerful.

    Cultivation sects usually choose places rich in spiritual energy to build sects, which is for the convenience of cultivation.

    But Puritanism was an accident.

    They were built directly in Yaoshan outside the imperial city.

    Go down the mountain and drive along the official road for less than half a day to reach the capital. The geographical advantage is one of the reasons why they travel frequently with the powerful.

    It is said that on the birthdays of dignitaries in the capital, the Qingjing sect will send disciples to play the qin as guests. And the dignitaries in the capital often come to Qingjingzong to ask for immortals and offer incense.

    There are often people in the Xianmeng who scoff at this.

    Indulge in enjoyment like Qingjingzong, how can you cultivate the pure and bright mind?

    But Feng Ci thinks otherwise.

    In the past, the cultivation environment was not good, because the places with abundant spiritual energy were usually in the desolate mountains. In those places, the mountains are high, the roads are far, the poor and cold, and there is no influence of the turbid air of mortal life.

    But now it’s different.

    If you lack food and clothing, you can send someone to buy it. If you lack spiritual power, you can tap the spiritual veins. Since the development of the world of self-cultivation, it is no longer necessary to go back to that kind of hard life.

    However, these are just Feng Ci’s thoughts based on Meng Changqing’s remarks. When he followed Pei Qianyue into Qingjingzong, he really understood why other sects criticized him.

    Qingjingzong is a rich and elegant villa in the depths of Yaoshan Mountain.

    In the village, you can see unique garden landscapes everywhere. The waterside corridor is built around the artificial lake. Spiritual jade.

    It’s… too rich.

    This is a sect of self-cultivation, and he believes it is a royal garden.

    The disciple who led the way led them directly to a pavilion by the lake, and bowed to Pei Qianyue: “Please, City Lord Pei, stay here for a while, our suzerain will arrive later.”

    After speaking, I respectfully left.

    The pavilion is covered with white gauze and floats slowly with the breeze blowing from the lake. Feng Ci grabbed the melon seeds on the table, and admired the scenery outside while nibbling: “Yaoshan Qingjingzong, such a big show, even if you, the leader of the alliance, have to wait here.”

    Pei Qianyue just poured a cup of tea and sipped it quietly without speaking.

     Fengci asked him again: “You come to Qingjingzong because you have a secret thing to talk about, am I not suitable here?”

    “It’s the disaster of Xianmen.” Pei Qianyue said, “You can listen.”

    Feng Ci didn’t know when he was so trustworthy in Pei Qianyue’s heart.

    He asked: “The City Lord is not afraid that I am not a good person. What I did before was all to deceive your trust?”

    Pei Qianyue took a sip of tea and asked calmly, “Are you lying to me?”

    Words: “Just hypothetical.”

    “That’s fine.” Pei Qianyue’s tone was very flat, “If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you.”

    Words: “…”

    It’s really not good to have such a strong temper at an age.

    ***

    After a while, footsteps approached outside.

    Two maids lifted the curtain outside the pavilion, but more than one person came.

    The young man walking in front was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a pale golden gown and looking very handsome. He wore a pale golden long gown with embroidered peony patterns on the sleeves, a guqin on his back, a hair crown on his head, jade on his waist, and there was a word from head to toe.

    —Expensive.

    I have seen this kind of service style, and it comes from Lingxiaomen.

    The youth bowed to Pei Qianyue and saluted: “Wen Huaiyu has seen the city master.”

    After salute, he looked at the wind words beside Pei Qianyue.

    Feng Ci was leaning against the pavilion and nibbling on melon seeds, and when he saw someone looking at him, he smiled at him: “Sect Master Wen is good.”

    Wen Huaiyu: “…”

    Under the governance of Pei Qianyue, the disciples of Langfeng City were humble and cautious, especially in front of Pei Qianyue.

    Wen Huaiyu should be the first time she saw such an unruly disciple of Langfeng City, and she hesitated for a moment.

    In the end, I didn’t dare to ask the identity of this young man.

    Pei Qianyue said in a low voice, “It turns out that the elder Chengchao of Lingxiaomen is also there.”

    Elder Chengchao has been silently following behind Wen Huaiyu. At this time, after being called by Pei Qianyue, he said, “I have seen City Lord Pei.”

    The tone was blunt, and the figure didn’t move at all, even the gesture was saved.

    The wind raised her eyebrows.

    This turbulent atmosphere… seems a bit interesting.

    But Pei Qianyue didn’t seem to care, just asked: “Is this seat bothering you?”

    “Where is the word.” Wen Huaiyu looks handsome and gentle, and her speech is gentle and kind, which sounds like a spring breeze, “It’s just nothing to do, and I invite the elders of Chengchao to come to Yaoshan to play the qin and talk about Taoism. I don’t know that the city lord is coming today, so he will be far away to welcome him.”

    “Fuqin talks about Taoism…” Pei Qianyue added another cup of tea to himself, a mocking smile on the corners of his lips, “Everyone is in danger outside, Sect Master Wen is still in the mood to play the qin, okay Yaxing.”

    “You—” Elder Cheng Chao frowned and was about to say something, but was pulled by Wen Huaiyu.

    Wen Huaiyu winked at him, her tone still humble: “The city master taught me.”

    Pei Qianyue was supposed to be a guest, but now he is sitting in the pavilion, and even the Sect Master of Qingjing Sect is standing next to him, it looks like he is the master here.

    Feng Ci’s eyes turned around these people and found it very interesting.

    Qingjingzong, Lingxiaomen, Langfengcheng, in addition to taking a look at the selection of Xianmeng, it was the first time he saw these three Xianmen together.

    These three families were regarded as teachers from the same family many years ago, and now they have formed the Immortal League together, but the relationship is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface, and it can even be said to be very bad.

    Of course, where Pei Qianyue is there, it is indeed difficult to have a harmonious relationship.

    Pei Qianyue said: “Sit down.”

    The two were seated just now.

    The Qingjing School was passed down from generation to generation, so the first one in the sect was always young. Wen Huaiyu was only twenty-five years old when he inherited the throne of the suzerain, and he was the youngest first among the six sects. Being young and of low seniority, he didn’t have the slightest air of being a suzerain, so he took the initiative to pour tea for the two seniors as soon as he sat down.

    Wen Huaiyu asked: “The city lord came today, I don’t know why?”

    Pei Qianyue: “The Gate of Impermanence, it’s gone.”

    With a soft sound, the teapot in Wen Huaiyu’s hand hit the wall of the cup, almost knocking over the tea.

    “Isn’t the gate of impermanence under the protection of your secret realm?” Elder Chengchao seemed to have a deep resentment against Pei Qianyue for some reason, and immediately asked, “How long has it been, how could they be arrested? Someone found?!”

    “This question, I also want to know.”

    Pei Qianyue’s voice was indifferent: “The placement of the Wuchang Gate in the secret realm is a joint decision of the six gates, and not many people know about it.”

    The words are stunned.

    No wonder Pei Qianyue wants to come here.

    It was strange when I was in the Rift. There is a lot of protection outside the secret, and even Feng Ci did not notice the difference in advance. How powerful is the real murderer behind the scenes, so that you can know everything like the back of your hand.

    But if this matter is not what Pei Qianyue did by himself, but the six parties negotiate together, it will be much simpler.

    Among the six doors, someone leaked the secret.

    Or, the murderer is hiding in the six doors.

    The two who were present also understood the meaning, looked at each other, and fell silent.

    After a while, Wen Huaiyu said: “When the matter was decided, the head of the six sects and some elders were all present. The Qingjing Sect will start to thoroughly investigate the matter from today. As for the other three sects, I will later The news will be conveyed to the past, please rest assured.”

    Pei Qianyue nodded: “Where is Lingxiaomen?”

    “What do you mean, how could Lingxiaomen leak secrets!” Elder Chengchao exploded a little, his neck was red with anger, “It was you who proposed to protect the impermanence first, also You spent a lot of time convening the six sects to negotiate the hiding place, and you set up a secret realm under the root of the banyan tree yourself. If you want to investigate thoroughly, shouldn’t you be the most suspicious of Langfeng City?”

    “Elder Chengchao…” Wen Huaiyu tried to persuade, but the latter did not appreciate it.

      For, it’s not you and me, it’s him, a non-human being who can’t cultivate directly and can only try to take shortcuts, a monster!”

    Feng Ci nibbled melon seeds and narrowed her eyes unhappily.
