Early the next morning, Yi Xiaoyin woke up Xia Tian and Zhao Qingqing. Seeing how energetic they were, she knew what they were doing last night.
That kind of thing is a double cultivation for Xia Tian. Unless he meets someone like Ye Yumei who can drain him dry, otherwise, he will only become more courageous as he fights.
Of course, it goes without saying that Zhao Qingqing has never had a damaged field, but she has been fully irrigated, so she is naturally full of energy.
"The people from the Holy Hand Sect are here, let's go over and meet them together." Yi Xiaoyin didn't want to ask about the two of them's affair, but just reminded: "For a while, you two had better not talk.
I'll handle everything, you hear me?"
"Okay." Xia Tian said with a smile: "Wife Yiyi, you know that I have always been the most obedient."
"You revealed your secret as soon as you opened your mouth." Yi Xiaoyin sighed and pointed at her face: "I am Professor Pang now. You must pay attention to your address and call me teacher when in public." As she said that, she looked again.
Looking at Zhao Qingqing: "Same for you."
"Okay, teacher. Yes, teacher." Zhao Qingqing suspected that Yi Xiaoyin was jealous, her tone couldn't help but become naughty, and she couldn't hide the smile in the corners of her eyes.
Yi Xiaoyin took the two of them out of the hotel, turned a few corners, and entered a large courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, a humble and polite young man stood. When he saw Yi Xiaoyin and the other three, he immediately smiled: "Professor Pang, you are here. I originally planned to go to Jianghai University to pick you up in person. My name is Wang Chaofan."
, my master is the sect leader Sheng Qiyang, you should have known each other for a long time."
"No need to say polite words." Yi Xiaoyin said calmly: "Where are they?"
Professor Pang had such a cold temper to begin with, but the young man did not raise any suspicion and still said with a smile: "My master and the others are already waiting in the living room. The two behind him must be your students."
"Just lead the way, it won't help you to ask more questions." Yi Xiaoyin didn't answer, her voice was still cold.
"Okay, please come this way." Wang Chaofan bowed slightly, only half a step ahead of Yi Xiaoyin, and walked forward slowly, talking from time to time, flattering Professor Pang: "Professor Pang, you
He has a thorough knowledge of ancient and modern times, is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and is the most famous professor of geology in the world. With your help, this time we are looking for... Oh
, Kantan will definitely be a perfect success. This is a kind of improvement for your career, and it is not the glory of our Shengshou Sect. It is rare for you to take the time to come, and we will receive you warmly and serve you wholeheartedly...Here, if
If you have any requirements, feel free to mention them and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Zhao Qingqing looked at this man's groveling look and really didn't understand. She whispered to Xia Tian: "This man is too flattering. Even if Professor Pang is useful to them, there is no need to lick him like this."
Xia Tian was not surprised at all, and just yawned lazily: "There are all kinds of idiots in the world, there is nothing surprising."
"Yes." Zhao Qingqing felt that she was making a fuss, so she didn't speak anymore and just looked at the yard while walking.
After a while, they entered the living room.
There are already several people waiting there. Judging from the positions where they are sitting, they are probably from different forces.
"Oh, Professor Pang, you are finally here. You really made us wait so hard." Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a short beard who looked about forty-five or six years old. When he saw
Yi Xiaoyin came in and immediately greeted her.
Yi Xiaoyin glanced at this person and immediately had information about this person in her mind. It was Sheng Qiyang, the current head of the Holy Hand Sect, and the initiator of this so-called exploratory adventure.
Sheng Qiyang looked at Yi Xiaoyin and felt that something was a little different. However, after carefully checking the impression, he felt that there was no difference. He could only smile and joke: "I am Lao Sheng. Why don't you remember? We met ten years ago."
Yes, we are old friends, please take a seat."
Yi Xiaoyin directly found an empty seat and sat down slowly. Xia Tian and Zhao Qingqing followed Yi Xiaoyin and walked behind her, and there were also benches waiting on them.
"Who are they?" Yi Xiaoyin looked at the other people and had some idea in her mind, but Professor Pang actually didn't know these people, so she asked.
"Oh, let me introduce you." Sheng Qiyang just felt that Professor Pang was getting colder and colder, so he didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "These are all the companions invited for this expedition, and they are also quite famous in the industry.
Famous."
Sheng Qiyang pointed at an old man in Tang suit who was about sixty years old, and said with a smile: "This is Liang Yiding from the Baozong Sect in the north, known as Uncle Ding. He has more than forty years of rich experience in treasure hunting and exploration, and he is known as the best expert in treasure hunting.
If you don’t fail, you will find a valuable treasure in the world.”
The old man in Tang suit squinted his eyes slightly. He seemed to be in good spirits and in good health. Hearing Sheng Qiyang introduce him, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's just a false reputation, but it's not worth mentioning. Compared with experts like Professor Pang who came from the school,
, it’s still so inferior.”
This statement is clearly a compliment and a criticism. He is an old hermaphrodite.
Yi Xiaoyin already knew this person's background and didn't take it seriously. He was just a passerby who could be dealt with at any time.
"This is a famous Feng Shui master in China, his name is Zhu Xuanjing." He was talking about a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance and wearing a top hat. However, he was quite neatly dressed and had a gentle demeanor, so he looked quite human.
The man in the top hat just smiled lightly at Yi Xiaoyin as a greeting.
"This is Professor Pang, a professor from the Department of Geology of Jianghai University. He is also a world-renowned expert in geology." Sheng Qiyang pointed at Yi Xiaoyin and introduced him symbolically to several others.
"Okay, let's forget about the polite words and get straight to the point." Yi Xiaoyin said calmly.
The others couldn't help but glance at Yi Xiaoyin, and Sheng Qiyang laughed and said, "Professor Pang is indeed as outspoken as ever. That's fine, since we are not outsiders anyway, so let's get straight to the point. No one has any objections, right?"
"Wait a minute, I have an opinion!" At this time, a wave of people suddenly broke in from outside the door. The young man in front of him actually held a blunderbuss in his hand and looked at Sheng Qiyang and everyone with an arrogant expression, "I, too, are you young?"
If you weren’t there, what kind of meeting were you holding?”
"Who is this person?" Zhao Qingqing asked subconsciously.
The man in the top hat laughed and said: "This young man is the only son of the previous master of the Holy Hand Sect, and his name is Zhuo Yuanfan. It seems that we are going to be involved in the power struggle of the Holy Hand Sect."
When Sheng Qiyang saw the person coming, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xiao Zhuo, what are you doing? Get out quickly, you have nothing to do here!"
"You said if it's none of my business, then it's none of my business?" The young man spit out thick phlegm and cursed: "The Shengshou Sect is a sect founded by our Zhuo family. It's okay if you don't let Sheng occupy it.
Now, I’m not even allowed to participate in the affairs within the sect?”
"Stop messing around and get out." Sheng Qiyang suppressed the anger in his heart, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me in private. Don't lose the sect's face here!"
The young man sneered and looked around with a blunderbuss: "What are you pretending to be? You have already lost all the members of the sect. In the past, our Holy Hand Sect was a hidden sect and was well-known in the entire world of cultivating immortals. Now it has fallen into decline.
It would be the most embarrassing thing to hang out with a group of treasure-stealing lowlifes, right?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, get out of here now!" Sheng Qiyang couldn't hold back his anger and shouted at the bodyguards who followed him: "Master Zhuo is ill, why don't you help him go down to rest."
"Who dares to touch me!" The young man pointed the blunderbuss in his hand at Sheng Qiyang: "I will kill anyone who comes. Do you really think that the blunderbuss can't kill people?"
Sheng Qiyang was a little panicked now, and quickly gave in: "Xiao Zhuo, if you have anything to say, please put the gun in first. If it goes wrong, you will regret it."
"You're in trouble if there's a fire!" The young man gritted his teeth and put the muzzle of the gun against Sheng Qiyang's forehead, "Today, as the orthodox young master, I have to attend your rogue meeting. Do you agree?"
Sheng Qiyang raised his hands: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. If you put down the gun, everything is easy to talk about. I was going to call you."
"Bring me a chair and put it next to Head Sheng." The young man yelled at the bodyguard nearby: "I'm going to be here today to hear how you hold the meeting."
Sheng Qiyang quickly shouted: "Go quickly!"
Wang Chaofan immediately moved a chair, placed it behind the young man, and said softly: "Junior Brother Zhuo, you must not be impulsive. It is a serious crime to be disrespectful to the master. Even if the master does not blame you afterwards, it is still illegal.
You'd better consider..."
"Shut up!" the young man shouted and cursed: "I have no time to pay attention to you, a boneless coward, so get out of here."
Several people present were watching this scene quietly, with different expressions on their faces.
"Do you think this was arranged by them in advance, or is it true?" Zhao Qingqing asked Xia Tian and Yi Xiaoyin in a low voice.
Yi Xiaoyin didn't answer, just drank tea calmly.
"It must have been an act." Xia Tian yawned lazily, "It's just that this idiot's acting skills are too bad."
Xia Tian's voice was not low, and he had no intention of hiding it at all. Naturally, the young man heard it clearly, and immediately became angry and cursed: "Boy, what the hell did you say!"
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Xia Tian curled his lips, "Why are you pretending to be deaf now?"
"Damn it, you're looking for death, aren't you!" The young man was in a very unstable mood. Hearing Xia Tian's words, he immediately regarded it as a provocation and pointed the gun at Xia Tian, "Believe it or not, I will kill you with one shot.
?”
"I don't believe it." Xia Tian replied very calmly.
The young man didn't expect that Xia Tian would be even more arrogant than him. He was stimulated for a moment and immediately pulled the trigger: "Fuck, you are looking for death!"
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out, and instantly someone fell to the ground.
