Chapter 277
It seems like these days, all that's left is running away.
Lin Ye did not dare to hesitate, and walked quickly in the deep forest under the moonlight for more than an hour. When he saw that Huang Zongma under him was really exhausted and could not hold on any longer, he rode the horse to a stop.
After running away all day, he was tired.
In the deep forest under the moon, the cold wind was clear and eerie, but a bonfire soon lit up in the deep forest, and a large wild boar was roasting on it.
If a wild boar meets Lin Ye, it is seeking death.
"Donghe Town is a small place after all. Even if there are spies, there won't be killers. But let's rest for a few hours and hurry up as soon as possible. The world is really getting more and more unstable."
Jiang Xun was lying comfortably on the straw mat, smelling the fragrant roast pork, and immediately sat up. Looking at the yellowed and oily pork roasted on the fire, he blinked: "Senior Brother Zhao, you can eat it. Is it done?”
"Don't worry, just wait."
"……Hurry up!"
"You...you are Zhao Nan..." Xia Juncheng leaned on the tree trunk next to him and opened his eyes slightly.
"...Yes, I am Zhao Nan."
Looking sideways at Xia Juncheng, Lin Ye's mood was really complicated. This guy indirectly killed Shen Rufeng and almost killed himself, but now I actually saved him.
Things in this world are really unpredictable.
"City Lord Bai, you told me about you..."
"What did he say about me?" Lin Ye was still very curious about what Old Man Bai would say about him. After all, this old man was really strange. The reason why he was so successful in Qingcheng had a lot to do with this old man.
"He said... you would be his successor..."
successor?
After thinking about it, Lin Ye was suddenly stunned. The successor of City Lord Bai, wouldn't that be... wouldn't he be the next City Lord of Qingcheng Sect!?
This time, Lin Ye was really stunned.
A thief becomes the city lord of Qingcheng Sect?
This joke is too big!
"Originally... I didn't agree, but this time, you saved Junior Sister Wang... but I harmed her again..." Xia Juncheng suddenly fell silent, unable to say anything.
Lin Ye was stimulated by Xia Juncheng's words just now, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhao, you should be fine."
"Ah!? Yes, okay, okay."
Lin Ye unconsciously looked at Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun was just looking at the roast pork on the fire. He seemed to have no idea at all about what Xia Juncheng just said.
"What on earth did that old white man think..."
A night of silence.
As we set foot in the northwest territory, after all, there are two major sects, Huashan and Qingcheng, here. The power of the imperial court is relatively weaker. Everything seems to be as peaceful as before, there are no more spies, and there are no longer pursuits.
Almost as soon as the sun went down, the three of them finally set foot on the boundary of Yunwu Mountain.
However, the Qingcheng Sect is indeed different now. There are nearly a hundred disciples stationed at the Qingcheng Mountain Gate at the foot of the mountain. It seems that there should be more than ten inner disciples leading more than ninety outer disciples stationed here.
"Stop everyone! Access token!"
Pass token, what the hell is this?
"There is no pass when we go down the mountain! I am Tianxiadian Jiang Xun. Senior brother Xia Juncheng is seriously injured. Please send him to the mountain for treatment immediately!"
"Jiang Xun!? Xia Juncheng!?"
Jiang Xun and Xia Juncheng are both celebrities in the Qingcheng sect. Even if they don't know their faces, they know their names.
"It's really Senior Brother Xia. Quick, send Senior Brother Xia up the mountain first!"
"yes!"
Several disciples immediately found a stretcher and carried Xia Juncheng, who was already asleep, up the mountain. The guarding disciples no longer looked as cold and arrogant as before. They raised their hands and saluted: "Junior Brother Jiang, please wait a moment. There is no pass token."
You need someone from the palace to come out to pick you up, and we will act according to the rules. Please forgive me, Junior Brother Jiang."
"I know." Jiang Xun just nodded and said nothing more.
These people obviously only knew Xia Juncheng and not Jiang Xun. They had only heard of Jiang Xun's name. As for Lin Ye next to him, he looked inconspicuous and the guarding disciples simply ignored Lin Ye.
Lin Ye didn't care. Not long after, two figures walked down the mountain path and looked at the two people blocked outside: "Xun'er, Nan'er, I'm glad you came back safely."
It turned out that Jiang Chen, He Zhixun and his wife came over together.
"Palace Master Jiang, Elder He!" Seeing these two people, the disciples around him were startled and quickly bowed and saluted.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, everyone has worked hard these days."
"For the sake of the sect, you must do your duty!!"
Jiang Chen nodded slightly towards the disciples, then looked at Lin Ye and Jiang Xun: "Let's go back."
The mountain road was winding and steep, but every other section of the road, two oil lamps were lit on both sides of the road. Bathed in the cold wind in the mountain, Lin Ye unconsciously asked: "Uncle Jiang, what's going on inside the door now?
"
"Due to the actions of the imperial court, nearly half of the financial resources within the family have been cut off. However, the problem is not a big one. After all, the family has a strong financial background and can survive by being frugal. However, people's hearts are indeed a bit unstable."
Jiang Chen sighed and continued: "If it's just like this, we can actually get through it if we hold on. However, since the imperial court has already taken action, it will not stop there. City Lord Bai has already sent invitations to the five major sects. Half a month later,
, come to our Qingcheng sect to discuss this matter! By the way, due to these emergencies, this session of the Fourth Hall Martial Arts Competition has also been temporarily cancelled."
"What!?"
Lin Ye didn't feel anything at first, but as soon as the last sentence came out, Lin Ye suddenly felt like a thunderbolt struck from the sky, as if all his efforts were in vain.
"How, how can this be possible!?"
Seeing Lin Ye's reaction, He Zhixun was a little surprised and said: "The Four Halls Martial Arts Competition is just a place to select talents. Nan'er, your reputation is well known now, so why do you need the Four Halls Martial Arts Competition?"
"This, this, that's not what I mean, it's just——"
Lin Ye didn't know what to say. Anyway, he felt so painful that he couldn't explain it.
"Nan'er, do you have something to hide?"
"This, this -" Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, moved his eyes, and suddenly said: "That's it, haven't I already learned the first two levels of the Sky-Shaking Palm? In fact, I want to go to the third level of the Library Pavilion to learn
The third level of the Sky-Shaking Palm!"
"So that's what happened. I still have a few places here, so I'll give you one."
"Ah!? This is okay!?"
What you haven't gotten after working hard for a long time is just given to him!?
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "To ordinary people, this quota may be very precious, but it should be nothing to you. If you ask City Lord Bai, I'm afraid you can be allowed to stay on the third floor of the library for a few days.
How many days and nights."
Lin Ye: "..."
Jiang Xun suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Ye: "You don't have something on your mind, do you?"
"...Nonsense, I am an upright person and I don't know what a ghost is!!"
