That night, the three brothers got together in a restaurant in Yujing.
Zong Qian looked at Wang Mian with a proud face and was puzzled, "Did they not give you any trouble after we left?"
Wang Mian chuckled, "No, there are many people who want to get information about the boss from me. Some of them are unlucky, but it's not me, it's Senior Brother Shan!"
Several people laughed, yes, what was originally an ordinary search for friends turned into a slap in the face for Senior Brother Shan. This is because his tricks are not bright enough and he is causing trouble for himself.
The three of them toasted to each other and talked about their farewells to each other. They talked about the people in Jincheng and the situation in mainland China. The topics were endless, but in the end they came back to the dispute between the two houses.
Although Wang Mian has an out-of-touch personality, he is still sharp, "Senior brother, I thought you would refuse this invitation to fight. This is not in line with your usual personality."
Hou Zi smiled and said, "What is my personality? I don't know it myself, but you know it? I didn't want to be the first in the church before. That was because I was in a bad situation, it was difficult to protect myself, and I had many enemies outside. .
Things are different now. If you keep your head down and act like a tortoise, you will really become a tortoise."
Zong Qian was a little worried, "Wang Mian, the Situ Mansion won't just let it go, right? Not to mention they have a few more Situ leaders to choose, but only one of them was defeated. That Wei Gu refused to settle the matter even if he was afraid. This is not Situ." House style!”
Wang Mian hesitated for a moment, but he still cared more about his brother. Yin Ling had known each other for several years. It was an indelible memory, and things like this were not a secret. Even if he didn't say it, it was like a sieve in Situ's mansion. How could it be possible to avoid the all-pervasive Sikong Mansion?
"Zhou Yuhou said that he is not allowed to bring Wei Gu back, and other sword cultivators from the Situ Mansion are not allowed to come out to cause trouble. I think they have been defeated... What can I say? The strength is there, except for looking for the boss. After returning to face, do they have other options?
Senior brother, if you tell the truth, have you not tried your best?"
Hou Ting raised a glass and drank by himself, "It's so-so, but it's better not to lose the Situ Mansion's face too much? It's better not to be too arrogant on other people's territory? They consciously throw away their arms and live and die in the wild. They don't know that it's much easier for me. If you think about it this way, if you let go...forget it, we are all brothers from the same sect, we will see each other when we look down."
But Zong Qian is worthy of being arrested by the Situ Mansion. He is a born conspiracy theorist. "Maybe the Situ Mansion deliberately released rumors to confuse us? Wang Mian, you have just entered the Situ Mansion. I am afraid that you will not be exposed to too many in-depth things. I I heard from the elders that your Situ Mansion is not a place for truly upright people."
Wang Mian ignored him. The two of them had vaguely regarded each other as competitors when they were in Jincheng, and nothing had changed after so many years.
"Senior brother, is this really all? You know very well how much trouble such a battle will bring to you. This is not a private contest in an unattended place. It is likely to lead to confrontation between the two governments?"
Hou Zi pointed at him, "Didn't the three houses of Quanzhen have conflicts before? It's just that the people above have been trying their best to avoid it. The monks below have been stumbling for so many years and have long needed a way to vent. I just happened to meet it. Among them, And because of your contribution as Wang Mian, you used a lot of secret energy in the battle of Situ Mansion, right?"
Wang Mian's eyes were intense. He knew far more than Hou Zi, "Senior brother, why did I add fuel to the flames? It's because I may have guessed what you were thinking, senior brother. Am I right?"
Hou Zi sighed in his heart. He actually didn't want to bring his brothers in for something like this, which would be detrimental to their development within the sect; this should be his personal matter, and he should use his own efforts to achieve his own goals.
However, even though there are many sensible people in the sect who have cultivated to this level, they cannot be any worse in terms of wisdom.
Since you have already guessed it, there is no need to hide it, "That's probably what it means. Let's see. You have to give it a try before you are willing to accept it."
Zong Qian was a little slow in this regard, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Seeing that Hou Zi had no intention of covering up, Wang Mian became mysterious and said, "Senior brother wants to challenge the true successor!"
Zong Qian was stunned, then suddenly realized, and then excited, "Okay, that's how it should be. I don't have enough ability and realm. If I were in the natural realm now, I would also want to try it.
Is this a name-invitation battle?"
After confirming the boss's idea, both of them became excited. There has been a long-standing stigma against the True Inheritance within the Quanzhen School, especially among the middle- and lower-level monks.
However, the decision-making power is in the hands of the big clan and the ancestors of the Infant Transformation. They cannot climb these mountains, so they have no choice but to do anything.
If you want to make a difference, confidence is one thing, courage is another thing, and you must take advantage of the changes in the mainland. The most important thing is that you must have the ability to be superior to others. Others cannot do it, but their
Senior Brother Hou has such a background.
Regardless of whether it is as brothers or as middle- and lower-level monks themselves, they will stand behind their senior brothers without hesitation, wave flags and shout, and brag about Dharma conch.
Not only for brotherhood, but also for my own future.
These Tongtian realm monks are very sensitive to these issues and can guess them right. However, those Jindan monks cannot make such judgments because of their level and status and they cannot empathize with them.
They no longer have the urge to compete for true disciples, and they never imagined that there would be a Tongtian disciple who dared to overturn the order that the Quanzhen Sect had inherited for hundreds of years.
Wang Mian began to think wrongly. For him, the dispute between the two palaces was not comparable to the dispute over the true inheritance. The former was just a false name, while the latter was a real benefit.
"If we start with the Situ Mansion, will the next step be to also bring in the Sima Mansion? They have three true disciples!"
Hou Zi looked at the two brothers who were already a little too excited, and said with a wry smile: "Do you really think of me as the real dragon that can cause trouble? We don't have a backstage, and we will be suppressed if we mess around; since we have already started, there is no need to go too far.
Impatient, anyway, there are still thirty years left, we can wait slowly..."
Zong Qian understood the idea attentively, "Yes, we are not in a hurry, but there are some who are in a hurry, such as the Situ Mansion who has lost face..."
The three of them laughed obscenely. The Situ Mansion has never been a power group that is accustomed to patience. On the contrary, their principle since their establishment has been that no matter what the provocation is, they must fight back, even if it hurts their head and blood.
No matter what.
Wang Mian rolled his eyes, "It's really difficult for us to deal with the chaos among the three houses. It's too obvious, but it seems that there are two true disciples who don't belong to the three houses? They are also the two that everyone dislikes the most.
"
Hou Zi raised his glass and said, "In the long run, it's too early to say anything. Given our current state, it's better not to dance too much. I still say the same thing, accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity..."
