"I heard the Peak Master say something about you."
"I always thought you were the kind of stupid guy who doesn't know how to adapt."
Walking on the road to Shenhe Peak with Tu Yuanzhen, the old man glanced at Chu Qingxiao who was walking beside him and said this.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he turned his head to look at the old man and asked strangely: "Why?"
The old man raised his head and looked forward, murmuring: "After all, if you weren't a fool, you probably wouldn't do anything to help Sun Li."
"Have you ever thought about what would have happened to you if Master Mu Peak had not returned suddenly and Zheng Jingtong found you?"
Chu Qingxiao blinked his eyes and said nothing.
Tu Yuanzhen continued: "So, I was thinking that if you were a smart person, you probably wouldn't do such a thing."
"It seems that I have disappointed my seniors." Chu Qingxiao said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true. After all, he is the disciple of the Master. It's a good thing to be smarter."
"Moreover, knowing that helping Sun Li will lead to trouble, but still willing to help, shows that you have a good character, and can even be said to be excellent."
"A disciple who has a brain and understands the right and wrong of morality. Although his cultivation is a little different, I think he is already pretty good."
If at this time, the disciples of Shenhe Peak, or Huang Fulai and Zhou Heng just now, were present, they would be shocked to hear that Chu Qingxiao was praised so highly by Tu Yuan Town. After all, Tu Yuan Town is famous for its strictness.
He is strict in controlling his disciples, and he is even more ruthless towards the disciples from the outer peak.
Such a guy probably didn't know that the last time he praised someone was back in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
But Chu Qingxiao, who was praised, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I said that seniors will be disappointed, precisely because of this." Chu Qingxiao said.
"Huh?" Tu Yuanzhen looked at Chu Qingxiao strangely: "What do you mean?"
Chu Qingxiao said: "First, I help senior Sun Li because I respect his virtue, but I am not without support."
"Secondly, I am not Senior Mu's disciple."
Tu Yuanzhen blinked when he heard this: "Aren't you an outer sect disciple? You mean that you haven't officially accepted my peak master into the sect yet?"
"You can rest assured about this. After the peak master returned, he praised you very much, and now he has opened the library for you. This kind of honor, let alone the disciples of other divine peaks, even I rarely have the opportunity to enter and can get it.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen such respect from the Peak Master, so accepting you in is a matter of course."
"Furthermore, what can you rely on as a mere outer disciple? No matter how extraordinary your family background is, in front of Zheng Jingtong, if he wants to kill someone and silence him, he can kill someone and silence him."
Chu Qingxiao was about to explain when he heard this: "Senior, actually..."
"Okay! I know that you, an ordinary outer sect disciple, feel anxious about being appreciated by the peak master. That's normal."
"But we at Kamigawa Peak have always put more emphasis on character than talent. I think you are only eighteen or nineteen years old. Although your cultivation level in the Three Realms is not high, it is not low either. As long as you practice more diligently in the future, you may not achieve success.
Lower than those so-called genius monsters." Tu Yuanzhen thought that Chu Qingxiao was ashamed of himself, so he comforted him at that time.
Chu Qingxiao smiled bitterly. Although the old man in front of him was kind, he was arrogant and did not want to listen to his explanation.
"The surname is Tu."
"What's going on at Kamigawa Peak? Have you reached the point where you start robbing people from our Qingque Peak?" At this moment, a drunken voice suddenly came.
Not many people in Xuanshan dared to call Tu Yuan Zhen that way today. Tu Yuan Zhen frowned when he heard this and looked behind him. He saw a woman in red, carrying a wine jar, looking at him with drunken eyes.
"Lu Sandao?" Tu Yuanzhen frowned when he caught a glimpse of the other party, and the next moment he asked, "Why are you here too?"
Everyone has been walking for more than half an hour, leaving Tianxuan City and entering the territory of Tianxuan Mountain. During this trip, Mu Nanshan invited everyone who helped Sun Li. In Tu Yuan Town’s impression, Lu Sandao obviously
Not included in this list.
But Lu Sandao glanced at the other party. He was not afraid of the notorious Kamigawa Peak elder. Instead, he muttered with a bit of displeasure: "Why can't I be here?"
"If this guard hadn't tipped off the news, would your peak master still be drinking flower wine at Yuhua Tower?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Chu Qingxiao suddenly realized why Mu Nanshan appeared in Quhuicheng by chance.
But Tu Yuanzhen showed an even greater surprise than everyone else. He stared at Lu Sandao with wide eyes and asked with a strange expression: "But how did you know the whereabouts of Master Mu?"
You must know that since Mu Nanshan left Shenhe Peak more than ten years ago, the three elders of Shenhe Peak have been trying their best to find traces of Mu Nanshan, but they have never been able to find the way.
I thought this time it was because Mu Nanshan happened to meet Sun Li after he decided to return, but after hearing Lu Sandao's words, he realized that it seemed that it was because of Lu Sandao's message that his peak master returned to Tianxuan.
Mountain.
Faced with the problem of Tu Yuan Town, Lu Sandao just shrugged: "He has never gone far. He has been living in Zhuyun Town outside Tianxuan City for these years. When I bought wine there six years ago,
I met him and invited him to drink twice, and we got to know each other."
"In the past few years, I go to him for a drink every one or two months..."
Lu Sandao's words made Tu Yuanzhen and other Shenhe Peak disciples widen their eyes, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
Tu Yuanzhen looked at Lu Sandao with a trembling voice and asked: "You...you mean that the Peak Master has not left the boundary of Tianxuan Mountain for more than ten years?"
Lu Sandao nodded, but then shook his head: "It's not that he has never left. He will go out every three to five, and he doesn't know where he goes. Sometimes it takes half a year, and sometimes it takes one or two months, but in any case
I live in Zhuyun Town most of the time."
Although Lu Sandao said it categorically, Tu Yuanzhen obviously found it difficult to accept the fact after hearing this. He was stunned, but then he shook his head: "It's impossible..."
"If the Peak Master has been in Zhuyun Town, why hasn't he come back for so many years! Lu Sandao, you can't slander me, the Peak Master of Shenhe Peak, like this!"
When Lu Sandao heard this, he shrugged his shoulders, raised his head and took a sip of wine and said, "Believe it or not."
Seeing Lu Sandao's appearance, Tu Yuanzhen felt a little nervous in his heart, not sure that what the other party said was definitely a lie.
He didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so he looked at Lu Sandao and asked, "You just said that Mr. Chu is a disciple of Qingque Peak. What's the matter?"
"Old man Tu, if you are older, you will retire to the mountains and forests earlier. What does this mean? Is it so difficult to understand?" Lu Sandao said angrily.
If anyone else had spoken to Tu Yuanzhen like this, he would have immediately taken out his sword and started a fight with them.
But facing Lu Sandao, Tu Yuanzhen was obviously a little wary. Although his face was not kind, he was not angry.
"So what? Even if he is a disciple of your Qingque Peak, those old guys from Qingque Peak who are valued by my peak master still have to be treated a little less favorably, so just come over." Tu Yuanzhen said this.
road.
His tone was firm, with a hint of strategizing confidence.
After all, the reputation of Mu Nan Mountain is still as thunderous in the hearts of everyone in Tianxuan Mountain even after more than ten years.
When Lu Sandao heard this, his eyes lit up: "That's a good relationship. I really want to see the scene where the two divine peaks merge."
Tu Yuanzhen sneered at Lu Sandao's attitude of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
"The old guys at Qingque Peak are sensible. They wouldn't want to turn against me at Kamigawa Peak over a disciple. But for you, boy, would you rather say that it was the elder from Qingque Peak who took you into his sect?"
"
Having said that, Tu Yuanzhen looked at Chu Qingxiao with questioning eyes.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know why, but under the old man's gaze, he always felt a little guilty, as if he had let down something, but he still didn't want to deceive the other person, and said at this time: "To be honest, this junior has been misspelled a few months ago...
...and was taken under the tutelage of my junior uncle."
"Uncle Master..." Tu Yuanzhen said very confidently, but midway through his words, his face suddenly changed as if he realized something.
His voice immediately rose an octave higher, resounding throughout the mountain road to Kamigawa Peak.
