Everyone behind the formation looked at the white-haired old man opposite, and they were all stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces!
Zhou Huaying was also stunned for a moment, and then asked slowly with a trembling body: "Second...Second Senior Uncle?"
"Kid, it's me, we're back!"
After hearing this, several people behind Gao Xuan also took off their hats and looked at Zhou Huaying with excited expressions.
Looking at these familiar faces that had appeared in dreams countless times, Zhou Huaying's mind went blank, and he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was so unreal.
It was obviously a scene that he had been looking forward to for a long time, but at the moment it was so dazed and unreal that without even realizing it, two lines of tears fell down...
Qin Ming also came over at this moment, looked at him with a complicated face and said in a low voice: "Hua Ying, we are back, we don't need you to carry it alone..."
Hearing this sentence, Zhou Huaying suddenly woke up!
It turns out I wasn’t dreaming!
It turns out that all this is true!
It turns out that Uncle Second Master and the others, who have been missing for more than a year, are really back!
Very good!
Very good!!!
He immediately took out the command talisman with trembling hands, opened the sect-protecting formation, and welcomed several people in.
At this moment, several Sword Sect disciples who had reunited after a long absence were all in tears and gathered around Zhou Huaying.
"Big brother! It's us! We're back!"
"Senior Brother, why has your hair turned so white? Why have you become so haggard?"
"Senior Brother, thank you for your hard work..."
"Elder brother..."
Listening to the voice of "Big Brother", and looking at the faces in front of him that haunted him in dreams, Zhou Huaying suddenly felt that he was not so tired anymore, and his body was filled with abundant energy.
"It's not hard, senior brother, it's not hard. I can see you return safely, everything is worth it..."
After saying that, he was suddenly startled and looked behind everyone. When he didn't see the figure he was hoping for, the brilliance in his eyes instantly dimmed.
As if they had understood what he was thinking, Gao Xuan and Qin Ming stepped forward and said.
"Huaying and Tiezhu are also back, but he said he had to go to Anqing City for something, so we returned first, don't worry..."
Hearing this, Zhou Huaying suddenly raised his head and asked excitedly: "Is what uncle said true? Is my junior brother back too?"
Gao Xuan smiled and nodded, slowly stroking his beard.
"Of course it's true! Will I still lie to you?"
At this time, other people also came out of the joy of reunion and joked one by one.
"Okay! Senior brother was not so excited to see us. When he heard that junior brother was back, his eyes almost popped out of his head. What? Aren't we senior brother's junior brothers and sisters?"
Zhou Huaying gave them a blow one by one, pretending to be angry.
"I saw you so excited that you cried. Isn't that enough to be considered excited? If you talk nonsense like this again, I'll think about it for a while!"
Then, he said to Gao Xuan and Qin Ming.
& n/"Two uncle, here is not a place to speak, come back quickly! I believe that other elders and disciples will definitely be more happy when you heard that you come back!"
Unexpectedly, Gao Xuan shook his head and spoke slowly.
"Huaying, don't reveal the news about our return yet."
"Huh? Why is that?"
Zhou Huaying looked puzzled. It was obviously a big happy event, why should it be hidden?
"That's right. On the way back, we also heard a lot of things about the Northern Territory. Under the current situation, there are several sects that don't think about exterminating demons and defending the way, but covet the status of the Sword Sect. It's really hateful! So!
We decided to conceal our identity first, and when they take action again, we will catch them all!"
"I see……"
Zhou Huaying nodded thoughtfully, then frowned again.
"But uncle, those sects are not weak in strength. Even if you, the two elders, and all the junior brothers and sisters are included, if you want to surrender them, it will probably cost a lot of money. What will happen if the gains outweigh the losses?"
"This is the problem..."
Gao Xuan smiled mysteriously and said leisurely.
"Don't worry, your junior brother has prepared a big gift for Sword Sect this time, which is enough to scare those young disciples!"
"Big gift? What big gift?"
"Hahaha! You will know when he comes back!"
Hearing what Gao Xuan and others said, Zhou Huaying was suddenly filled with doubts, but he could only hold on for the time being and asked Wang Tiezhu to come back soon so that he could clear up this doubt in his mind.
At Zhou Huaying's request, the disciples who originally followed him were also prohibited from revealing the news about the return of Gao Xuan.
Even just in case, these people were directly arranged to live in the Tianjian Hall, and were not allowed to go out without his order.
Under his arrangement, Gao Xuan and others secretly lived in a hidden mountain peak, concentrating on practicing while waiting for Wang Tiezhu's return.
After arranging everything, Zhou Huaying returned to the Tianjian Hall as if nothing had happened.
As for the first thing he did after returning, he found a few trustworthy disciples, distributed huge amounts of spiritual crystals to them, and asked them to leave Sword Sect for a while and secretly purchase demon pills and spiritual mines on the market.
Demon elixirs are mainly from the black and yellow realms, and spiritual mines are also more common. The more precious they are, the less likely they are to have them.
As for why he did this, he actually didn't understand. Gao Xuan arranged for him to do this, but he didn't tell him the reason for doing it.
But he had a hazy feeling in his heart. This might be related to the "gift" from his junior brother. It was just low-grade demon pills and spiritual mines. What could they do...
"Junior brother, junior brother, come back quickly, everyone is waiting for you..."
In Qianmiaofang, Wang Tiezhu, who was instructing two students of Danyangzi in alchemy, suddenly sneezed, startling the two people who were concentrating on controlling the firepower. The output of spiritual power increased sharply, and the batch of elixirs was instantly invalidated.
.
Looking at the black smoke coming out of the alchemy furnace, the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Wang Tiezhu also noticed this situation and touched his nose in embarrassment.
"Um, I didn't do this on purpose. I don't know who is scolding me behind my back! Clean the alchemy furnace and turn it on again!"
"Yes, sir."
After this period of teaching, Li Chen and Wang Bai also changed the title of Wang Tiezhu from "gongzi" to "sir". After all, there is a sense of imparting knowledge and teaching, so it is more appropriate to call him "sir"
